Miscellaneous.

SECTION 3.01. This Forty-second Supplemental Indenture is executed and shall be construed as an indenture supplemental to the Indenture, and shall form a part thereof, and the Indenture, as hereby supplemented, is hereby confirmed. Except to the extent inconsistent with the express terms hereof, all of the provisions, terms, covenants and conditions of the Indenture, shall be applicable to the Bonds of the 1987 Series to the same extent as if specifically set forth herein. All terms used in this Forty-second Supplemental Indenture shall be taken to have the same meaning as in the Indenture, except in cases where the context herein clearly indicates otherwise.

SECTION 3.02. All recitals in this Forty-second Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company only and not by the Trustee; and all of the provisions contained in the Indenture in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable

 

41


in respect hereof as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full.

SECTION 3.03. The Company covenants that it is (subject to the rights, if any, of condemnors in actions of condemnation pending at the date of the execution of the Forty-second Supplemental Indenture or judgments thereafter entered therein, and to the rights of the United States of America or municipalities, public utility districts or other authorized agencies, by franchise or license, or by provision of law, to condemn, purchase or appropriate or recapture the property affected thereby) lawfully seized and possessed of all the trust estate at the date of the execution of the Forty-second Supplemental Indenture except as herein specifically otherwise stated; that on said date the trust estate is free and clear from all liens and encumbrances other than permitted encumbrances, except as in Section 9.05 of the Indenture specifically otherwise stated; that the Company will warrant and forever defend the trust estate and the title thereto to the Trustee against the claims of all persons whomsoever except as in the Indenture specifically otherwise stated; that it will maintain and preserve the lien of the Indenture, as heretofore and hereby supplemented, as a first mortgage lien, except as in the Indenture specifically otherwise stated, so long as any of the Bonds issued under the Indenture, and all indentures supplemental thereto are outstanding; and that it has good right and lawful authority to subject said property to the lien of the Indenture, as provided in and by the Indenture.

SECTION 3.04. The last two sentences of Section 2.11 of the Indenture shall be and hereby are corrected by transferring the words “and for like purposes as is provided in this Indenture in respect of” from the last sentence to the next to the last sentence of said Section, so that such two sentences shall read as follows:

“Subject to the foregoing, the net proceeds of the sale or maturity of deposited obligations (including cash deposited to make up any deficiency as aforesaid) shall be paid out or applied by the Trustee in like manner and for like purposes as is provided in this Indenture in respect of the cash for which such obligations were substituted. The deposited obligations while

 

42


held by the Trustee, and the net proceeds of the sale or maturity thereof (including cash deposited to make up any deficiency as aforesaid) until so paid out or applied shall constitute part of the trust estate.”

SECTION 3.05. The Company covenants and agrees, in order to conform the provisions of the Indenture to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as follows:

Whenever the Trustee shall so request or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds outstanding under the Indenture shall so request in a written notice served upon the Trustee, but not more frequently than once every two years, and whether or not requested by the Trustee or the Bondholders as aforesaid, at least once prior to July 1, 1962 and thereafter at least once in every five years, the Company shall appoint an independent engineer to make an inspection of the trust estate of the Company.

The Company shall cause such independent engineer, within a reasonable time after the date of his appointment, to report to the Company and to the Trustee whether or not the trust estate (other than property which has been retired) of the Company, as an operating system or systems, has been maintained in good repair, working order and condition. If such independent engineer shall report that the trust estate has not been so maintained, he shall state in his report the character and extent and estimated cost of making good such deficiency, 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.

If the Company, within 30 days after the filing of the report of such independent engineer, shall object in writing to any of the statements in such certificate, the matters so objected to shall be forthwith referred to three arbitrators selected in the following manner: the Trustee, within 10 days after the expiration of said period of 30 days, shall name one arbitrator and give notice of such selection to the Company. Within 10 days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall name one arbitrator and give notice of such selection to the Trustee, and failure to do so shall entitle the Trustee to name an

 

43


arbitrator to represent the Company. The two thus selected shall, within 10 days after the appointment of the arbitrator representing the Company, select a third arbitrator, but if said arbitrators are unable, within said 10 days, to agree upon such third arbitrator, then the District Judge of the United States of America for the Western District of Washington senior in service may appoint such third arbitrator, upon application to said District Judge by either party on 5 days’ notice thereof to the other party. 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.

The Company, upon the expiration of 30 days after the filing as aforesaid of the report of an independent engineer, if it shall not have objected thereto, or upon the filing as aforesaid of any decision of arbitrators, shall proceed with all reasonable speed, to do such maintenance work as may be necessary to make good any such maintenance deficiency as shall have been determined to exist as hereinabove provided at the time of the report of such independent engineer or at the time of such decision of arbitrators, as the case may be, whereupon such independent engineer or such arbitrators, as the case may be, shall report in writing to the Trustee whether such deficiency has been made good; provided, however, that in case such independent engineer or arbitrators shall fail or refuse to make such report within such period as the Trustee may deem reasonable, the Trustee may in its discretion appoint another independent engineer to make such report, or in lieu of such report, may accept an officers’ certificate that such deficiency has been made good.

Unless the Trustee shall be so advised in writing by such independent engineer or arbitrators or by an officers’ certificate accepted by the Trustee, as the case may be, within one year from the date of any report of an independent engineer or any decision of arbitrators, as the case may be, determining a maintenance deficiency to exist, or such longer period as may be stated in such report or decision to be reasonably necessary for the purpose, that such deficiency has been made good, the Company shall be deemed to have failed in the due performance of the covenant as to the maintenance of the trust estate contained in Section 9.08 of the Indenture and in any proceeding consequent

 

44


upon such failure said report or decision shall be conclusive evidence against the Company of the existence of the facts and conditions therein set forth.

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

SECTION 3.06. The Indenture as heretofore and hereby supplemented has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 in connection with the issuance and sale of the initial Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) principal amount of Bonds of the 1987 Series, and accordingly the provisions of Article Eleven, Sections 15.13, 15.14 and 19.04 of the Indenture have become operative.

SECTION 3.07. This Forty-second Supplemental Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, and each of such counterparts shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts, or as many of them as the Company and the Trustee shall preserve undestroyed, shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 3.08. Although this Forty-second Supplemental Indenture is dated for convenience and for the purpose of reference as of July 1, 1957, the actual date or dates of execution by the Company and by the Trustee are as indicated by their respective acknowledgments hereto annexed.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Puget Sound Power & Light Company has caused this Forty-second Supplemental Indenture to be signed in its corporate name and behalf by its President or one of its Vice Presidents and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its Clerk or Assistant Clerk or its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, and Old Colony Trust Company in token of its acceptance of the trust hereby created has caused this Forty-second Supplemental Indenture to be signed in its corporate name and behalf by its President or one of its Vice Presidents, and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and
