And it is hereby covenanted, declared and decreed by and between the parties hereto, for the benefit of those who shall hold the Bonds and interest coupons, or any of them, issued and to be issued under the Indenture, as follows: 13 ARTICLE I Description of Bonds of MTN Series D Section 1. The Thirty-third Series of Bonds to be executed, authenticated and delivered under and secured by the Indenture shall be Bonds of MTN Series D, designated as "First Mortgage Bonds, Secured Medium-Term Notes, Series D" of the Company. The Bonds of MTN Series D shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, all of the terms, conditions and covenants of the Original Indenture, except insofar as the terms and provisions of the Original Indenture have been or are amended or modified by said First through Thirty-fifth Supplemental Indentures or by this Thirty-sixth Supplemental Indenture. Bonds of MTN Series D shall be issued from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $200,000,000, be issued as registered Bonds without coupons in the denominations of $1,000 or in any multiple thereof; each Bond of MTN Series D shall mature on such date not less than nine months nor more than thirty years from date of issue, shall bear interest at such rate or rates (which may be either fixed or variable) and have such other terms and provisions not inconsistent with the Indenture as the Board of Directors may determine in accordance with a resolution filed with the Corporate Trustee and a written order referring to this Thirty-sixth Supplemental Indenture; the principal of and interest on each said Bond to be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and, at the option of the Company, interest on each said Bond may also be payable at the office of the Company in Boise, Idaho, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. Interest on Bonds of MTN Series D which bear interest at a fixed rate shall be payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year or on such other dates as set forth in a resolution filed with the Corporate Trustee referring to this Thirty-sixth Supplemental Indenture and at maturity or upon earlier redemption (each an interest payment date). Interest on Bonds of MTN Series D which bear interest at a variable rate shall be payable on the dates (each an interest payment date) set forth in a resolution filed with the Corporate Trustee referring to this Thirty-sixth Supplemental Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as there is no existing default in the payment of interest on the Bonds of MTN Series D, all Bonds of MTN Series D authenticated by the Corporate Trustee after the Record Date hereinafter specified for any interest payment date, and prior to such interest payment date (unless the date of first authentication of Bonds of such designated interest rate and maturity is after such Record Date), shall be dated the date of authentication, but shall bear interest from such interest payment date, and the person in whose name any Bond of MTN Series D is registered at the close of business on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such interest payment date, notwithstanding the cancellation of such Bond of MTN Series D, upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to the Record Date and on or prior to such interest payment date. If the date of first authentication of the Bonds of MTN Series D of a designated interest rate and maturity is after such Record Date and prior to the corresponding interest payment date, such Bonds shall bear interest from the Original Interest Accrual Date but payment of interest shall commence on the second interest payment date succeeding the Original Interest Accrual Date. "Record Date" for Bonds of MTN Series D which bear interest at a fixed rate shall mean March 15 for interest payable April 1 and September 15 for interest payable 14 October 1, for Bonds of MTN Series D which bear interest at a fixed rate that is payable on other dates, shall mean the last day of the calendar month preceding such interest payment date if such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month and shall mean the fifteenth day of the calendar month preceding such interest payment date if such interest payment date is the first day of a calendar month, as determined by the Board of Directors and set forth in a resolution filed with the Corporate Trustee referring to this Thirty-sixth Supplemental Indenture; and for Bonds of MTN Series D which bear interest at a variable rate, the date 15 calendar days prior to any interest payment date, provided that, interest payable on the maturity date will be payable to the person to whom the principal thereof shall be payable. "Original Interest Accrual Date" with respect to Bonds of MTN Series D of a designated interest rate and maturity shall mean the date of first authentication of Bonds of such designated interest rate and maturity unless a written order filed with the Corporate Trustee on or before such date shall specify another date from which interest shall accrue, in which case "Original Interest Accrual Date" shall mean such other date specified in the written order for Bonds of such designated interest rate and maturity. The Bonds of MTN Series D, in definitive form, shall be, at the option of the Company, fully engraved or shall be lithographed or printed on steel engraved borders or shall be partially lithographed or printed and partially engraved on steel borders or shall be printed on safety paper or shall be typewritten. The holders of the Bonds of MTN Series D consent that the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of Bonds of MTN Series D entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, those persons who are holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. The Bonds of MTN Series D may be redeemable at the option of the Company (including without limitation redemptions by the application of cash deposited with the Corporate Trustee pursuant to Section 39 of the Indenture) in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to maturity, as provided in Section 52 of the Indenture, upon giving notice of such redemption by first class mail, postage prepaid, by or on behalf of the Company at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption as the Board of Directors may determine in accordance with a resolution filed with the Corporate Trustee and a written order referring to this Thirty-sixth Supplemental Indenture. Section 2. At the option of the registered holder, any Bonds of MTN Series D, upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, together with a written instrument of transfer (if so required by the Company or by the Trustees) in form approved by the Company duly executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized attorney, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount and maturity of Bonds of MTN Series D of other authorized denominations. Bonds of MTN Series D may bear such legends as may be necessary to comply with any law or with any rules or regulations made pursuant thereto or with the rules or regulations of any stock exchange or to conform to usage with respect thereto. 15 Bonds of MTN Series D shall be transferable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the Company shall not be required to make any transfers or exchanges of Bonds of MTN Series D for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding any mailing of notice of redemption, and the Company shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of the principal amount of any Bonds of MTN Series D so called or selected for redemption. Section 3. The Bonds of MTN Series D shall be substantially of the tenor and purport recited in the Original Indenture, and the form thereof shall be as established by resolution of the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, which resolution may provide that any provisions of such form of Bond may appear on the reverse of such form. Section 4. Until Bonds of MTN Series D in definitive form are ready for delivery, the Company may execute, and upon its request in writing, the Corporate Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu thereof, Bonds of MTN Series D in temporary form, as provided in Section 15 of the Original Indenture. ARTICLE II Issue of Bonds of MTN Series D. Section 5.

For purposes of this Section 8, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture. ARTICLE IV Amendments to Indenture Section 9. Article XVIII of the Indenture is amended to read in its entirety as follows: "ARTICLE XVIII Meetings And Consents Of Bondholders SECTION 107. Modifications and alterations of this Indenture and/or of any indenture supplemental hereto and/or of the rights and obligations of the Company and/or of the rights of the holders of bonds and coupons issued hereunder may be made as provided in this Article XVIII. SECTION 108. The Corporate Trustee may at any time call a meeting of the bondholders and it shall call such a meeting on written request of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the bonds outstanding hereunder at the time of such request. The Company, pursuant to a resolution of its Board of Directors, may also call a meeting of the bondholders at any time. In each such case the purpose or purposes of such meeting shall be set forth in reasonable detail. In the event of the Corporate Trustee's failing for ten (10) days to call a meeting after being thereunto requested by the bondholders as above set forth, holders of outstanding bonds in the amount above specified in this Section or the Company, pursuant to 17 resolution of its Board of Directors, may call such meeting. Every such meeting called by and at the instance of the Corporate Trustee shall be held in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or with the written approval of the Company, at any other place in the United States of America, and written notice thereof, stating the place and time thereof and in general terms the business to be submitted, shall be mailed by the Corporate Trustee not less than thirty (30) days before such meeting (a) to each registered holder of bonds then outstanding hereunder addressed to him at his address appearing in the registry books, (b) to each holder of any such bond payable to bearer who shall have filed with the Corporate Trustee at its principal office an address for notices to be addressed to him, and (c) to the Company addressed to it at Boise, Idaho (or at such other address as may be designated by the Company from time to time), and shall be published by the Corporate Trustee once on at least four different days preceding the meeting, in a daily newspaper, printed in the English language, and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (if publication in such a daily newspaper can be obtained upon reasonable terms or otherwise such substitute publication as the Corporate Trustee shall approve), the first publication to be not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date of such meeting; provided, however, that the mailing of such notice to any bondholders shall in no case be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken at such meeting. If such meeting is called by or at the instance either of the Company or of the bondholders, it shall be held at such place in the United States of America as may be specified in the notice calling such meeting and notice thereof shall be sufficient for all purposes hereof if given by newspaper publication as aforesaid stating the place and time of the meeting and in general terms the business to be submitted. Any meeting of bondholders shall be valid without notice if the holders of all bonds then outstanding hereunder are present in person or by proxy and if the Company and the Corporate Trustee are present by duly authorized representatives, or if notice is waived in writing before or after the meeting by the Company, the holders of all bonds outstanding hereunder and by the Corporate Trustee, or by such of them as are not present in person or by proxy. SECTION 109. Officers and nominees of the Corporate Trustee and of the Company and of the Individual Trustee or their or its nominees may attend such meeting, but shall not as such be entitled to vote thereat. Attendance by bondholders may be in person or by proxy. In order that the holder of any bond payable to bearer and his proxy may attend and vote without producing his bond, the Corporate Trustee, with respect to any such meeting, may make and from time to time vary such regulations as it shall think fit for deposit of bonds with (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization, or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States, any municipality in any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, or (iv) any other person or corporation satisfactory to the Corporate Trustee, and for the issue to the persons depositing said bonds of certificates by such depositaries entitling the holders thereof to be present and vote at any such meeting and to appoint proxies to represent them and vote for them at any such meeting in the same way as if the persons so present and voting, either personally or by proxy, were the actual bearers of the bonds in respect of which such certificate shall have been issued and any regulations so made shall be binding and effective. A bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign such a certificate in his own behalf. In lieu of or in addition to providing for such deposit, the Corporate Trustee may, in its discretion, permit such institutions to issue certificates stating that bonds were exhibited to them, which certificates shall entitle the holders thereof to vote at any meeting only 18 if the bonds with respect to which they are issued are not produced at the meeting by any other person and are not at the time of the meeting registered in the name of any other person. Each such certificate shall state the date on which the bond or bonds in respect of which such certificate shall have been issued were deposited with or exhibited to such institution and the series, maturities and serial numbers of such bonds. A bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign such a certificate in his own behalf. In the event that two or more such certificates shall be issued with respect to any bond or bonds, the certificate bearing the latest date or the actual bond shall be recognized and be deemed to supersede any certificate or certificates previously issued with respect to such bond or bonds. If any such meeting shall have been called, under the provisions of Section 108 hereof, by bondholders or by the Company, and the Corporate Trustee shall fail to make regulations as above authorized, then regulations to like effect for such deposit or exhibition of bonds and the issue of certificates by (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization, or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States, any municipality in any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, shall be similarly binding and effective for all purposes hereof if adopted or approved by the bondholders calling such meeting or by the Board of Directors of the Company, if such meeting shall have been called by the Company, provided that in either such case copies of such regulations shall be filed with the Corporate Trustee. A bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign such a certificate in his own behalf. SECTION 110. Subject to the restrictions specified in Sections 109 and 113 hereof, any registered holder of bonds outstanding hereunder and any holder of a certificate provided for in Section 109 hereof, shall be entitled in person or by proxy to attend and vote at such meeting as holder of the bonds registered or certified in the name of such holder without producing such bonds. All others seeking to attend or vote at such meeting in person or by proxy must, if required by any authorized representative of the Corporate Trustee or the Company or by any other bondholder, produce the bonds claimed to be owned or represented at such meeting, and everyone seeking to attend or vote shall, if required as aforesaid, produce such further proof of bond ownership or personal identity as shall be satisfactory to the authorized representative of the Corporate Trustee, or if none be present then to the Inspectors of Votes hereinafter provided for. Proxies shall be witnessed or in the alternative may (a) have the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a registered dealer in securities, (b) be acknowledged before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments, or (c) have their genuineness otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Inspectors of Votes. All proxies and certificates presented at any meeting shall be delivered to said Inspectors of Votes and filed with the Corporate Trustee. SECTION 111. Persons nominated by the Corporate Trustee if it is represented at the meeting shall act as temporary Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the meeting, but if the Corporate Trustee shall not be represented or shall fail to nominate such persons or if any person so nominated shall not be present, the bondholders present in person or by proxy, shall by a majority vote, elect another person or other persons from those present to act as temporary Chairman and/or Secretary. A permanent Chairman and a permanent Secretary of such meeting shall be elected from those present by the bondholders present in person or by proxy, by a majority vote. The Corporate Trustee, if represented at the meeting, shall appoint 19 two Inspectors of Votes who shall decide as to the right of anyone to vote and shall count all votes cast at such meeting, and who shall make and file with the temporary or permanent Secretary of the meeting their verified written report in duplicate of all such votes so cast at said meeting. If the Corporate Trustee shall not be represented at the meeting or shall fail to nominate such Inspectors of Votes or if either Inspector of Votes fails to attend the meeting, the vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the temporary or permanent Chairman of the meeting. SECTION 112. The holders of not less than sixty per centum (60%) in principal amount of the bonds Outstanding hereunder when such meeting is held must be present at such meeting in person or by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, less than a quorum, however, having power to adjourn. SECTION 113. Any modification or alteration of this Indenture and/or of any indenture supplemental hereto and/or of the rights and obligations of the Company and/or the rights of the holders of bonds and/or coupons issued hereunder in any particular may be made at a meeting of bondholders duly convened and held in accordance with the provisions of this Article, but only by resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty per centum (60%) or more in principal amount of the bonds Outstanding hereunder, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then Outstanding are to be affected by action taken at such meeting then also by affirmative vote of the holders of at least sixty per centum (60%) in principal amount of each series of bonds so to be affected and Outstanding hereunder, when such meeting is held, and in every case approved by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company as hereinafter specified; provided, however, that no such modification or alteration shall, without the consent of the holder of each bond issued hereunder affected thereby, (1) impair or affect the right of such holder to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such bond, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such bond, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, or (2) permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to, or on a parity with, the lien of this Indenture with respect to any of the property mortgaged and pledged hereunder, or (3) permit the deprivation of any nonassenting bondholder of the benefit of a lien upon the property mortgaged and pledged hereunder, for the security of his bonds (subject only to the lien of taxes, assessments or governmental charges not then delinquent and to any mortgage or other liens existing upon such property which are prior hereto at the date of the calling of any such bondholders' meeting), or (4) permit the reduction of the percentage required by the provisions of this Section for the taking of any action under this Section with respect to any bond outstanding hereunder. For all purposes of this Article, the Trustees shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion of counsel with respect to the extent, if any, as to which any action taken at such meeting affects the rights under this Indenture or under any indenture supplemental hereto of any holders of bonds then outstanding hereunder. Bonds owned and/or held by and/or for account of and/or for the benefit or interest of the Company if challenged by any other bondholder at such meeting and such ownership, benefit or interest is established, shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any vote or of any calculation of outstanding bonds in Article XVI hereof or in this Article provided for. 20 SECTION 114. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of bondholders shall be prepared by the permanent Secretary of the meeting and shall have attached thereto the original reports of the Inspectors of Votes, and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts showing a copy of the notice of the meeting, and showing that said notice was mailed and published as provided in Section 108 hereof. Such record shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent Chairman and the permanent Secretary of the meeting, and one duplicate thereof shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Corporate Trustee for preservation by the Corporate Trustee. Any record so signed and verified shall be proof of the matters therein stated, and if such record shall also be signed and verified by the affidavit of a duly authorized representative of the Corporate Trustee, such meeting shall be deemed conclusively to have been duly convened and held and such record shall be conclusive, and any resolution or proceeding stated in such record to have been adopted or taken, shall be deemed conclusively to have been duly adopted or taken by such meeting. A true copy of any resolution adopted by such meeting shall be mailed by the Corporate Trustee to each registered holder of bonds outstanding hereunder, addressed to him at his address appearing on the registry books and to each holder of any such bond payable to bearer who shall have filed with the Corporate Trustee an address for notices, addressed to him at such address, and proof of such mailing by the affidavit of some person having knowledge of the fact shall be filed with the Corporate Trustee, but failure to mail copies of such resolution as aforesaid shall not affect the validity thereof. No such resolution shall be binding until and unless such resolution is approved by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company of which such Resolution of approval, if any, it shall be the duty of the Company to file a copy certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company with the Corporate Trustee, but if such Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company is adopted and a certified copy thereof is filed with the Corporate Trustee, the resolution so adopted by such meeting shall be deemed conclusively to be binding upon the Company, the Trustees and the holders of all bonds and coupons issued hereunder, at the expiration of sixty (60) days after such filing, except in the event of a final decree of a court of competent jurisdiction setting aside such resolution, or annulling the action taken thereby in a legal action or equitable proceeding for such purposes commenced within such sixty (60) day period; provided, however, that no such resolution of the bondholders, or Resolution of the Company, shall in any manner change or modify or be so construed as to change or modify any of the rights, immunities, or obligations of the Trustees or of either of them without their, its or his written assent thereto. SECTION 115. Bonds authenticated and delivered after the date of any bondholders' meeting may bear a notation in form approved by the Corporate Trustee as to the action taken at meetings of bondholders theretofore held, and upon demand of the holder of any bond outstanding at the date of any such meeting and presentation of his bond for the purpose at the principal office of the Corporate Trustee, the Company shall cause suitable notation to be made on such bond by endorsement or otherwise as to any action taken at any meeting of bondholders theretofore held. If the Company or the Corporate Trustee shall so determine, new bonds so modified as in the opinion of the Corporate Trustee and the Board of Directors of the Company to conform to such bondholders' resolution shall be prepared, authenticated and delivered, and upon demand of the holder of any bond then Outstanding and affected thereby shall be exchanged without cost to such bondholder for bonds then Outstanding hereunder upon surrender of such bonds with all unmatured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto. The Company or the Corporate Trustee may require bonds Outstanding to be presented for notation or exchange 21 as aforesaid if either shall see fit to do so. Instruments supplemental to this Indenture embodying any modification or alteration of this Indenture or of any indenture supplemental hereto made at any bondholders' meeting and approved by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company, as aforesaid, may be executed by the Trustees and the Company and upon demand of the Corporate Trustee, or if so specified in any resolution adopted by any such bondholders' meeting, shall be executed by the Company and the Trustees. SECTION 116. (A) Anything in this Article XVIII contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporate Trustee shall receive the written consent (in any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by bondholders or by their attorneys appointed in writing) of the holders of sixty per centum (60%) or more in principal amount of bonds Outstanding hereunder, and, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then Outstanding are to be affected by action taken pursuant to such consent, then also by consent of the holders of at least sixty per centum (60%) in principal amount of each series of bonds so to be affected and Outstanding hereunder (at the time the last such needed consent is delivered to the Corporate Trustee) in lieu of the holding of a meeting pursuant to this Article XVIII and in lieu of all action at such a meeting and with the same force and effect as a resolution duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 113 hereof. (B) Instruments of consent shall be witnessed or in the alternative may (a) have the signature guaranteed by a bank or trust company or a registered dealer in securities, (b) be acknowledged before a Notary Public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments, or (c) have their genuineness otherwise established to the satisfaction of the Corporate Trustee. The amount of bonds payable to bearer, and the series and serial numbers thereof, held by a person executing an instrument of consent (or whose attorney has executed an instrument of consent in his behalf), and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by exhibiting the bonds to and obtaining a certificate executed by (i) any bank or trust or insurance company, or (ii) any trustee, secretary, administrator or other proper officer of any pension, welfare, hospitalization or similar fund or funds, or (iii) the United States of America, any Territory thereof, the District of Columbia, any State of the United States, any municipality in any State of the United States or any public instrumentality of the United States, or of any State or of any Territory, or (iv) any other person or corporation satisfactory to the Corporate Trustee. A bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign a certificate in his own behalf. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state in effect that as of the date thereof a coupon bond or bonds bearing a specified serial number or numbers was deposited with or exhibited to the signer of such certificate. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any bond specified therein shall presume to continue unless (1) any certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same bond shall be produced, (2) the bond specified in such certificate (or any bond or bonds issued in exchange or substitution for such bond) shall be produced by another holder, or (3) the bond specified in such certificate shall be registered as to principal in the name of another holder or shall have been surrendered in exchange for a fully registered bond registered in the name of another holder. The Corporate Trustee may nevertheless in its discretion require further proof in cases where it deems further proof desirable. The ownership of registered bonds shall be proved by the registry books. 22 (C) Until such time as the Corporate Trustee shall receive the written consent of the necessary per centum in principal amount of the bonds required by the provisions of subsection (A) above for action contemplated by such consent, any holder of a bond, the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the bonds the holder of which have consented to such action, may, by filing written notice with the Corporate Trustee at its principal office and upon proof of holding as provided in subsection (B) above, revoke such consent so far as it concerns such bond. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the holder of any bond shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of such bond (and any bond issued in lieu thereof or exchanged therefor), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made upon such bond, and in any event any action taken by the holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the bonds specified in subsection (A) above in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustees and the holders of all bonds."
