CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that express, or involve discussions as to, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions, future events, or performance, often, but not always, through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “guidance,” “intends,” “potential,” “plans,” “predicts,” “projects,” “may result,” “may continue,” or similar expressions, are not statements of historical facts and may be forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve estimates, assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Actual results, performance, or outcomes may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors and matters referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements include those factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K, the Forms 10-Q and the Forms 8-K incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and we refer you to those reports for further information, as well as the following important factors:

demand for power during peak periods could exceed supply, resulting in increased costs for purchasing capacity in the market or acquiring or constructing additional generation resources and battery storage facilities;

 

   

variable hydrological conditions and over-appropriation of surface and groundwater in the Snake River Basin, which may impact the amount of power generated by Idaho Power’s hydropower facilities;

the assumptions underlying the coal mine reclamation obligations at Bridger Coal Company and related funding and bonding requirements, and the remediation costs associated with planned exits from participation in Idaho Power’s co-owned coal plants;

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of any such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. IDACORP disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

ABOUT IDACORP

Overview

We are a holding company incorporated in 1998 under the laws of the state of Idaho. Our principal operating subsidiary is Idaho Power Company. We are subject to the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, which provides the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and state utility regulatory commissions with access to books and records and imposes record retention and reporting requirements on us.

Idaho Power Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Idaho in 1989 as the successor to a Maine corporation that was organized in 1915 and began operations in 1916. Idaho Power Company is an electric utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution, sale and purchase of electric energy and capacity and is regulated by the state regulatory commissions of Idaho and Oregon and by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Idaho Power Company is the parent of Idaho Energy Resources Co., a joint venturer in Bridger Coal Company, which mines and supplies coal to the Jim Bridger generating plant owned in part by Idaho Power Company. Idaho Power Company’s utility operations constitute nearly all of our current business operations.

Idaho Power Company provided electric utility service to approximately 607,000 retail customers in southern Idaho and eastern Oregon as of March 31, 2022. Approximately 509,000 of these customers are residential. Idaho Power’s principal commercial and industrial customers are involved in food processing, electronics and general manufacturing, agriculture, health care, government, and education. Idaho Power Company also provides irrigation customers with electric utility service to operate irrigation pumps during the agricultural growing season. Idaho Power Company holds franchises, typically in the form of right-of-way arrangements, in 72 cities in Idaho and 7 cities in Oregon and holds certificates from the respective public utility regulatory authorities to serve all or a portion of 25 counties in Idaho and 3 counties in Oregon. Idaho Power Company’s service area covers approximately 24,000 square miles with an estimated population of 1.3 million.

Our other notable subsidiaries include IDACORP Financial Services, Inc., an investor in affordable housing and other real estate tax credit investments, and Ida-West Energy Company, an operator of small hydropower generation projects that satisfy the requirements of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.

For additional information concerning our business and affairs, including our capital requirements and external financing arrangements, and pending legal and regulatory proceedings, including descriptions of those laws and regulations to which we are subject, prospective purchasers should refer to the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus as described in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Dividends from Subsidiaries

Since we are a holding company, substantially all of our cash flow is provided by dividends paid to us by our subsidiaries, most notably Idaho Power Company. Since Idaho Power Company is a public utility, it is subject to regulation by state utility commissions and other regulatory agencies, which impose limits on investment returns or otherwise impact the amount of dividends that Idaho Power Company may declare and pay, and to a federal statutory limitation on the payment of dividends. In addition, certain agreements entered into by Idaho Power Company set restrictions on the amount of dividends it may declare and pay and restrict the circumstances under which such dividends may be declared and paid. Further, Idaho Power Company’s credit facility requires it to maintain specified leverage ratios of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated total capitalization. The specific restrictions on dividends contained in agreements to which Idaho Power Company is a party, as well as specific regulatory limitations on dividends, are described in our Forms 10-K and 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

This section summarizes the material terms of our common stock. This summary is not complete. We refer you to our articles of incorporation, as amended, and our amended bylaws, each of which is on file with the SEC and which we have incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We also refer you to the laws of the state of Idaho. The prospectus supplement relating to any offering of common stock will describe the number of shares offered and the initial offering price or method of determining the initial offering price of those shares.

As used under this caption, “Description of Common Stock,” references to “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar references mean IDACORP, Inc., excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

General

Authorized Shares; Listing. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize us to issue 120,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “IDA”.

Dividend Rights. Subject to the prior rights of the preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive any dividends our board of directors may declare on the common stock. The board of directors may declare dividends from any property legally available for this purpose.

Voting Rights. The common stock has one vote per share. The holders of our common stock are entitled to vote on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. The holders of our common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors. Holders of our preferred stock will not have any right to vote except as established by our board of directors or as provided in our articles of incorporation or bylaws or by state law. A majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on a particular matter at a meeting constitutes a quorum. Action on a matter is approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless our articles of incorporation, the Idaho Business Corporation Act or our bylaws require a greater number of affirmative votes. A plurality of the votes cast determines the election of directors.

Liquidation Rights. Subject to the prior rights of the preferred stock, if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up, whether this is voluntary or not, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive any net assets available for distribution to shareholders.

Other Rights. The common stock is not liable to further calls or assessment. The holders of our common stock are not entitled to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of our capital stock. Our common stock is not subject to redemption and does not have any conversion or sinking fund provisions.

Effects on Our Common Stock If We Issue Preferred Stock. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by shareholders, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The board of directors has the authority to determine the terms of each series of preferred stock, within the limits of the articles of incorporation and the laws of the state of Idaho. These terms include the number of shares in a series, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, terms of redemption, conversion rights and voting rights. If we issue preferred stock, it may negatively affect the holders of our common stock. These possible negative effects include diluting the voting power of shares of our common stock and affecting the market price of our common stock. In addition, the ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval may delay or prevent a change in control of the company.

Transfer Agent and Registrar. EQ Shareowner Services is the transfer agent and registrar for the common stock.

Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation and Our Bylaws That Could Delay or Prevent a Change in Control

Although it is not the intention of the board of directors to discourage legitimate offers to enhance shareholder value, the existence of unissued common stock, the ability of the board of directors to issue preferred stock without further shareholder action and other provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage transactions aimed at obtaining control of us.

Number of Directors, Vacancies, Removal of Directors. Our bylaws provide that the board of directors will have at least 9 and at most 15 directors. These restrictions on the size of the board may be changed by amendment of our bylaws, which must be approved by a two-thirds vote of shareholders entitled to vote, or by a majority vote of the board of directors. A majority of the board decides the exact number of directors at a given time. The board fills any new directorships it creates and any vacancies. Also, directors may be removed by the shareholders only for cause and only if at least two-thirds of the shares of our outstanding voting stock approve the removal. These provisions may delay or prevent a shareholder from gaining control of the board.

Meetings of Shareholders

Calling of a Special Meeting. The president, a majority of the board of directors or the chairman of the board may call a special meeting of the shareholders at any time. Holders of at least 20% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote may call a special meeting if such holders sign, date and deliver to our secretary one or more written demands describing the purpose(s) of the proposed meeting, as well as documentation of the shareholders’ ownership percentage and information regarding the shareholders’ proposal. Upon receipt of one or more written demands from such holders, our secretary is responsible for determining whether such demand or demands conform to the requirements of the Idaho Business Corporation Act, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. After making an affirmative determination, our secretary will prepare, sign and deliver the notices for such meeting. The shareholders may suggest a time and place in their demand(s), but the board of directors will determine the time and place of any such meeting by resolution. These provisions for calling a special meeting may delay or prevent a person from bringing matters before a shareholder meeting.

No Cumulative Voting. Our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. This could prevent directors from being elected by a relatively small group of shareholders.

Advance Notice Provisions. Our bylaws require that for a shareholder to nominate a director or bring other business before an annual meeting, the shareholder must give notice and provide other information called for by our bylaws to our secretary not later than the close of business on the 120th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting. If the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or 60 days after the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, the shareholder must deliver notice no earlier than the close of business on the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 130 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which we first publicly announce the date of such meeting. Our bylaws also limit business at a special meeting to the purposes stated in the notice of the special meeting, subject to the introduction of additional business at the discretion of the board of directors. These advance notice provisions may delay a shareholder from bringing matters before a shareholder meeting. The provisions may provide enough time for our board of directors to begin litigation or take other steps to respond to these matters, or to prevent them from being acted upon, if our board of directors finds it necessary or desirable for any reason.

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation. Our articles of incorporation require an 80% vote of shareholders entitled to vote in order to amend the provisions relating to the board of directors and the amendment of our articles of incorporation, unless such amendment is recommended by two-thirds of the continuing directors, as defined.

Table of Contents

Amendment of Bylaws. Amendment of the bylaws relating to the board of directors or advance notice provisions for shareholder meetings requires a two-thirds vote of shareholders entitled to vote or a majority vote of the board of directors.

Provisions of Idaho Law That Could Delay or Prevent a Change in Control

Idaho Control Share Acquisition Law. We are subject to the provisions of the Idaho Control Share Acquisition Law. This law is designed to protect minority shareholders in the event that a person acquires or proposes to acquire shares of voting stock giving it at least 20%, at least 33 1/3%, or more than 50% of the voting power in the election of our directors. Under this law, an acquiring person must deliver to us an information statement that includes, most notably, the acquiring person’s identity, its acquisition plans and its financing. The acquiring person cannot vote the shares it holds that are greater than the applicable percentages unless two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the acquiring person, approves the exercise of such voting power. If the acquiring person so requests and complies with other requirements, we must hold a special meeting within 55 days of receiving the information statement from the acquiring person for the shareholders to vote. If the acquiring person does not deliver the information statement, or our shareholders do not approve such voting power, we may redeem all of the acquiring person’s shares that exceed the applicable percentage at their fair market value.

Idaho Business Combination Law. We are also subject to the Idaho Business Combination Law. This law prohibits us from engaging in certain business combinations with a person who owns 10% or more of our outstanding voting stock for a three-year period after the person acquires the shares. This prohibition does not apply if our board of directors approved of the business combination or the acquisition of our shares before the person acquired 10% of the shares. After the three-year period, we could engage in a business combination with the person only if two-thirds of our outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the person, approve, or the business combination meets minimum price requirements.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

As used under this caption, “Description of Debt Securities,” references to “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar references mean IDACORP, Inc., excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

General

We will issue the debt securities offered in this prospectus under our senior debt securities indenture, dated as of February 1, 2001. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, is the trustee under the indenture. We may amend and supplement the indenture and will supplement it by one or more supplemental indentures relating to these debt securities.

This section briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indenture and uses some terms that are not defined in this prospectus but that are defined in the indenture. This summary is not complete and we qualify it by reference to the indenture. The indenture is on file with the SEC, and we have incorporated it by reference in this prospectus. You should read the indenture for a complete understanding of its provisions and for the definition of some terms used in this summary. In this summary, we have included references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions.

The debt securities that we may issue under this indenture will be unsecured obligations of IDACORP, Inc. exclusively, and not the obligations of any of our subsidiaries. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue and it does not restrict the amount or type of other debt that we or our subsidiaries may issue or contain any other provisions that would afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. We may use other indentures or documentation containing provisions different from those included in the indenture under which we are offering these debt securities in connection with future issues of debt securities.

We are a holding company whose primary source of funds is cash received from our subsidiaries in the form of dividends or other intercompany transfers. For a more detailed description of the dividend restrictions applicable to our subsidiaries, see “About IDACORP—Dividends from Subsidiaries” above. If any of our subsidiaries liquidate or reorganize, the claims of the subsidiary’s creditors to the proceeds will be prior to the claims of our creditors, except to the extent we are a creditor of the subsidiaries. As a result of these factors, the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future claims of creditors of Idaho Power Company and other subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debt holders, secured creditors, taxing authorities and guarantee holders.

The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue, nor does it limit us or our subsidiaries from issuing any other unsecured debt. The debt securities that we are offering in this prospectus will rank equal in right of payment to our other unsecured indebtedness that is outstanding now or that we may issue in the future, except for any indebtedness that, by its terms, is subordinate to these debt securities. Although our subsidiaries are parties to agreements that limit the amount of additional indebtedness they may incur, they retain the ability to incur substantial additional indebtedness and other liabilities.

We will issue debt securities in series. Each series of debt securities may have different terms and, in some cases, debt securities of the same series may have different terms. We need not issue all debt securities of one series at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, we may reopen a series, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series for issuances of additional debt securities of that series. One or more series of the debt securities may be issued with the same or various maturities at par, above par or at a discount.

Terms of the Debt Securities

Each prospectus supplement will describe the terms of a series of debt securities, including:

 

   

the title of the series,

 

10


Table of Contents
   

any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the series,

 

   

the date or dates on which we will issue the debt securities of that series and on which we will pay the principal amount and any premium,

 

   

the rate or rates at which the debt securities of that series will bear interest, or how we will determine the rate or rates,

 

   

the date or dates from which interest will accrue,

 

   

the dates on which we will pay interest on the debt securities of that series and the regular record dates for the interest payment dates,

 

   

the place or places where we will pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if different from those we describe in this prospectus,

 

   

any redemption terms, including mandatory redemption through a sinking fund or otherwise, redemption at our option and redemption at the option of the holder,

 

   

whether any debt securities of that series will be issued as original discount securities and the amount of the discount,

 

   

any events of default, interest rates payable upon an event of default, or restrictive covenants if other than set forth in this prospectus,

 

   

the denominations in which we will issue the debt securities of that series, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000,

 

   

the provisions for the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture if different from those we describe in this prospectus, and

 

   

any other terms of the debt securities of the series which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the applicable indenture.

Form and Exchange

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement:

 

   

we will issue the debt securities in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or in any larger amount equally divisible by $1,000,

 

   

a holder of debt securities may exchange debt securities, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the same series, having the same issue date and with identical terms and provisions, and

 

   

a holder of debt securities may transfer debt securities, without charge, other than applicable stamp taxes or other governmental charges. Indenture, Sections 3.2 and 3.6

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the transfer of debt securities may be registered and exchanged at the corporate trust office of the trustee in New York, New York, as security registrar. We may change the place and designate one or more additional places for registration of transfer and exchange but we are required to maintain an office or agency in New York, New York for that purpose. Indenture, Section 4.2

We are not required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer or exchange of any debt security:

 

   

during a period of 15 days prior to giving any notice of redemption with respect to that debt security, or

 

   

that has been selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part. Indenture, Section 3.6

 

11


Table of Contents

We may issue all or some of the debt securities in book-entry form, which means that global notes, not certificates, will represent the debt securities. If we issue global notes representing any debt securities, then a depository that we select will keep a record of the beneficial interests in the global notes and record any transfers of beneficial interests. The global notes will be registered in the name of the depository and the depository will be considered the sole owner of the debt securities represented by the global notes for all purposes of the indenture. Indenture, Section 3.1

See “Book-Entry System” for a description of additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of the debt securities. We will describe any additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of debt securities in the prospectus supplement. Indenture, Sections 2.4 and 3.1

Payment and Paying Agent

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will pay interest on each debt security to the person in whose name the debt security is registered as of the close of business on the regular record date for that interest payment date. If we have defaulted in the payment of interest on any debt security, we may pay the defaulted interest to the holder of the debt security as of the close of business on a special record date that is not less than 10 days prior to the date we propose to pay the defaulted interest. Notice of the special record date will be given by mail at least 15 days before the special record date. We may also pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner permitted by requirements of any securities exchange on which the debt security may be listed, if the trustee deems that manner of payment practicable. Indenture, Section 3.8

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest at maturity at the corporate trust office of the trustee in New York, New York, as our paying agent. We may change the place of payment. We may appoint one or more additional paying agents and may remove any paying agent, all at our discretion. Indenture, Section 4.2

If we deposit money with the paying agent to pay any amounts due on the debt securities and the holder does not claim the money within two years, the paying agent will return the money to us and we will be responsible for paying the holder. Indenture, Section 12.5

Events of Default

Except to the extent modified or deleted in a supplemental indenture or applicable resolution of the board of directors under which a series of debt securities is issued and described in the applicable prospectus supplement, each of the following will be an Event of Default with respect to each series of debt securities issued under the indentures:

 

   

failure to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on, any debt security of that series when due and payable at maturity and upon redemption, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred,

 

   

failure to pay interest on any debt security of that series when due and our failure continues for 30 days, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred,

 

   

failure to make a sinking fund payment when due with respect to debt securities of that series,

 

   

failure to observe or perform any other covenant, warranty or agreement contained in the debt securities of that series or in the indenture, except for a covenant, agreement or warranty included in the indenture solely for the benefit of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 60 days after we have received written notice from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series,

 

   

events relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, and

 

   

any other event of default with respect to debt securities of that series specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Indenture, Section 6.1

 

12


Table of Contents

An event of default with respect to the debt securities of any series does not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under the indenture. Unless we cure the default, the trustee is required to notify you of any default known to it within 90 days after the default has occurred. Except in the case of a payment default, the trustee may withhold notice if it considers such withholding to be in the interest of the holders. Indenture, Sections 6.1 and 6.11

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series, other than due to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series or, in the case of certain defaults that affect all series then outstanding, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of all debt securities outstanding acting as a single class, by notice in writing to us, and to the trustee if given by the holders, may declare the unpaid principal of and accrued interest to the date of acceleration on all the outstanding debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. The holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series or, in the case of certain defaults that affect all series then outstanding, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all debt securities outstanding acting as a single class, upon the conditions provided in the indenture, including the requirement that we have paid all the principal and interest that has become due on that series other than by reason of acceleration, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to that series. Indenture, Section 6.1

If an event of default occurs due to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the outstanding debt securities of all series will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder. Indenture, Section 6.1

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series. Indenture, Section 6.9

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. Indenture, Section 7.2

The indenture provides that we must periodically file statements with the trustee regarding compliance by us with all conditions and covenants contained in the indenture. Indenture, Section 4.6

Redemption

We will describe any terms for the optional or mandatory redemption of a particular series of debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. In order to exercise our right to redeem a debt security, we must give the holder notice by mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

If we want to redeem fewer than all the debt securities of a series, the trustee will choose the particular debt securities to be redeemed by lot or by another method described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Indenture, Article Fourteen

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

The indenture provides that we will not consolidate with, or merge into, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to, any person, unless:

 

   

the successor corporation, if we are not the survivor, expressly assumes in writing all of our obligations under the outstanding debt securities and the indenture,

 

13


Table of Contents
   

immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default shall have occurred and be continuing, and

 

   

we deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture. Indenture, Article Eleven

Modification of Indenture

We may modify the indenture, without notice to or the consent of any holders of debt securities, with respect to certain matters that do not materially adversely affect the holders of any debt securities. Indenture, Section 10.1

In addition, we may modify certain of our rights and obligations and the rights of holders of the debt securities with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification, voting as one class. Indenture, Section 10.2

Without the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt security affected, no amendment or modification may:

 

   

change the stated maturity of any debt security,

 

   

reduce the principal amount of or the amount of any premium on, or reduce the rate of interest on, or extend the time for payment or change the method of calculating interest on, any debt security, or extend the time for payment of those amounts, reduce the amount payable on redemption, or reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon acceleration of maturity,

 

   

impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to any debt security,

 

   

reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the indenture, or to waive compliance with provisions of the indenture or defaults or events of default and their consequences, or

 

   

subordinate any debt securities to any other of our indebtedness. Indenture, Section 10.2

Waiver of Defaults

The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive any default or event of default with respect to that series, except if certain defaults relate to all series of outstanding debt securities, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities voting as one class may waive the default. Payment and bankruptcy defaults and defaults with respect to a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected may not be waived in this manner. Indenture, Section 6.10

Defeasance

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of a particular series, the indenture provides that we shall be discharged from our obligations under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities at any time prior to the maturity date or redemption of that series when

 

   

we have irrevocably deposited in trust with the trustee:

 

   

sufficient funds to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption of, the debt securities of that series, or

 

   

an amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government as will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption of, the debt securities of that series, and

 

14


Table of Contents
   

we have paid all other sums payable with respect to the debt securities of that series.

Upon the discharge of the indenture with respect to a particular series, the holders of debt securities of that series shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for purposes of registration of transfer, exchange and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated debt securities. Indenture, Section 12.1 and 12.3

Concerning the Trustee

We and our affiliates may conduct banking transactions with the trustee or its affiliates in the normal course of business.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Idaho, except that the obligations, rights and remedies of the trustee will be determined under the laws of the state of New York.

Table of Contents

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM

We may issue all or some of the debt securities in book-entry form, which means that global notes, not certificates, will represent the securities. If we issue global notes representing any securities, the following provisions will apply to all book-entry securities:

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Depository Trust Company, New York, NY, which we refer to as “DTC,” will act as securities depository for the securities. We will issue the securities as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. We will issue one or more fully-registered security certificates for each issue of the securities, in the aggregate principal amount of the issue, and we will deposit the certificates with the trustee to hold as agent for DTC. We and the trustee will treat Cede & Co. as the holder of the securities for all purposes.

DTC has informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among direct participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between direct participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser, the beneficial owner, is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all securities deposited by direct participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements that may be in effect from time to time.

 

16


Table of Contents

Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the issue to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s money market instrument procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

Redemption proceeds and distributions, including principal and interest payments, on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or our agent on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in street name. Payment by participants to beneficial owners will be the responsibility of the participants and not of DTC, any agents or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds and distributions to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is our responsibility or the responsibility of our paying agents. Disbursement of such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

In case of any optional tender for or mandatory purchase of securities, pursuant to their terms, a beneficial owner shall give notice to elect to have its securities purchased or tendered through its participant to the tender/remarketing agent and shall effect delivery of the securities by causing the direct participant to transfer the participant’s interest in the securities, on DTC’s records, to the tender/remarketing agent. The requirement for physical delivery of securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the securities are transferred by direct participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered securities to the tender/remarketing agent’s DTC account.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or to our agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent, nor the registrar for the securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to these beneficial ownership interests.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

The underwriters, dealers or agents of any of the securities may be direct participants of DTC.

to repay indebtedness, or

 

   

to pay for acquisitions.

The precise amount and timing of the application of such proceeds will depend on our funding requirements, market conditions and the availability and cost of other funds. If we do not use the proceeds immediately, we may temporarily invest them in short-term instruments.

If we use a dealer in the sale, we will sell those securities to the dealer as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices determined at the time of resale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Through Agents. We may from time to time designate one or more agents to sell the securities. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

Directly. We may sell the securities directly to one or more purchasers. In this case, there will be no underwriters or agents.

EXPERTS

The financial statements of IDACORP, Inc. incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the effectiveness of IDACORP, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports. Such financial statements are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 which is incorporated by reference herein, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their report included in IDACORP, Inc.’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Actual results, performance, or outcomes may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors and matters referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking statements, factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements include those factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-K, the Forms 10-Q and the Forms 8-K incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and we refer you to those reports for further information, as well as the following important factors:

DESCRIPTION OF FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS

As used under this caption, “Description of First Mortgage Bonds,” references to “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar references mean Idaho Power Company, excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiary.

We will issue the first mortgage bonds offered in this prospectus under our Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1937. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, is the trustee. We have amended and supplemented the indenture in the past and will supplement it again by one or more supplemental indentures relating to these first mortgage bonds.

This section briefly summarizes the material provisions of the indenture and supplemental indentures, which we refer to collectively as the indenture in this section, and uses some terms that are not defined in this prospectus but are defined in the indenture. This summary is not complete and we qualify it by reference to the indenture. The indenture is on file with the SEC, and we incorporate it by reference in this prospectus. You should read the indenture for a complete understanding of its provisions and for the definitions of some terms used in this summary. In the summary below, we include references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate those provisions.

Our issuance of long-term indebtedness, including first mortgage bonds, is subject to the approval of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (“IPUC”), the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (“OPUC”), and the Wyoming Public Service Commission (“WPSC”). In March 2019, we filed applications with the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC to renew our debt financing authority. In April 2019, Idaho Power received orders from the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC authorizing the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $500 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. Authority from the IPUC is through May 31, 2022, subject to extension upon request to the IPUC. The OPUC’s and WPSC’s orders do not impose a time limitation for issuances, but the OPUC order does impose a number of other conditions, including a maximum interest rate limit of 7.0 percent. In April 2022, we filed applications with the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC to renew our debt financing authority, requesting authorization of the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. As of the date of this prospectus, these applications remain pending.

Issuance in Series. We issue bonds in series. Each series of bonds may have different terms. We will include all of the following information about a specific series of bonds in the prospectus supplement relating to those bonds:

 

   

the designation and series of the bonds,

 

   

the aggregate principal amount of the bonds,

 

   

the offering price of the bonds,

 

   

the date or dates on which the bonds will mature,

 

   

the interest rate or rates for the bonds, or how we will determine the interest rate or rates,

 

   

the dates on which we will pay the interest on the bonds,

 

   

the denominations in which we may issue the bonds,

 

   

the terms pursuant to which we may redeem the bonds, if any,

 

   

whether we will issue all or a portion of the bonds in global form, and

 

   

any other terms or provisions relating to the bonds that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the indenture.

Table of Contents

Form and Exchange. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement:

 

   

we will issue the bonds in fully registered form without coupons,

 

   

a holder of bonds may exchange bonds, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series, having the same issue date and with identical terms and provisions, and

 

   

a holder of bonds may transfer bonds, without charge, other than applicable stamp taxes or other governmental charges.

See “Book-Entry System” for a description of additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of bonds. We will describe any additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of bonds in the prospectus supplement.

Interest and Payment. We will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in U.S. dollars at Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas in New York City, and, at our option, at our office in Boise, Idaho. Indenture, Section 35

Maintenance Requirements. We will file a certificate with the corporate trustee within 90 days after the close of each calendar year stating that:

 

   

we have made the necessary expenditures to maintain our property in good condition as an operating system, or

 

   

we will designate an additional amount that should be spent for this purpose.

If we designate an additional amount, we must deliver to the corporate trustee, within 30 days, cash equal to that amount less the following deductions:

 

   

expenditures made after the close of the year to maintain the property, and

 

   

any allowances for waiver of our right to issue additional bonds under the indenture. Indenture, Section 38

We may withdraw this cash for reimbursement for later expenditures on:

 

   

property maintenance, repairs, renewals and replacements,

 

   

waiver of our right to issue additional bonds under the indenture, or

 

   

the purchase or redemption of bonds of any series, unless a supplemental indenture provides otherwise for a particular series of bonds.

We must spend or appropriate 15% of our annual gross operating revenues for maintenance, retirement or amortization of our properties. We may, however, anticipate or make up these expenditures or appropriations within the five years that immediately follow or precede a particular year. Indenture, Section 38; Second Supplemental, Section 15

Improvement or Sinking Fund. There is no sinking or improvement fund requirement. Twenty-seventh Supplemental, Section 14

Security. The indenture secures all bonds issued under the indenture equally and ratably, without preference, priority or distinction. We may issue additional first mortgage bonds in the future, and those first mortgage bonds will also be secured by the indenture. The lien of the indenture constitutes a first mortgage on all the properties that we own, except as discussed below, subject only to liens for taxes and assessments that are not delinquent and minor excepted encumbrances. Certain of our properties are subject to easements, leases, contracts, covenants, workmen’s compensation awards and similar encumbrances and minor defects and clouds common to properties, which do not interfere in any material respect with our operations.

Table of Contents

The indenture does not create a lien on the following excepted property:

 

   

revenues or profits, or notes or accounts receivable, contracts or choses in action, except as permitted by law during a completed default,

 

   

securities or cash, except when pledged, or

 

   

merchandise or equipment manufactured or acquired for resale.

The indenture creates a lien on our interest in property that we subsequently acquire other than excepted property, subject to limitations in the case of consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all our assets. Indenture, Section 87

We have covenanted to execute and deliver instruments that are necessary to carry out the purposes of the indenture and to create a lien on after-acquired property that the indenture covers. Granting Clauses

The indenture does not contain any covenants or other provisions to provide holders of the first mortgage bonds special protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

Issuance of Additional Bonds. The indenture limits the aggregate principal amount of bonds at any one time outstanding to $2.5 billion. We may amend the indenture and increase this amount without consent of the holders of first mortgage bonds. Indenture, Sections 22 and 121; Forty-eighth Supplemental, Article I

The indenture contains some restrictions on increasing the amount of prior lien bonds, which are bonds, obligations or principal indebtedness secured by any mortgage or other lien upon any property additions prior to the lien of the indenture. Indenture, Sections 6 and 46

We may issue additional bonds that rank equally with the bonds in principal amount equal to:

 

   

60% of the cost or fair value, whichever is less, of property additions made after December 31, 1943, less the amount of prior lien bonds thereon, Indenture, Article V, Second Supplemental, Sections 10 and 13

 

   

the principal amount of first mortgage bonds or prior lien bonds referred to above, retired or then to be retired, Indenture, Articles V and VI or

 

   

the amount of cash that we deposit with the corporate trustee for the purpose, which we may withdraw on the same basis as bonds may be issued. Indenture, Article VII

We may not issue bonds as provided above, with certain exceptions, unless we meet a net earnings requirement. Generally, the indenture requires that our net earnings must be at least twice the annual interest requirements on all outstanding debt of equal or prior rank, including the bonds that we propose to issue. Under certain circumstances, the net earnings test does not apply, including the issuance of refunding bonds to retire outstanding bonds which mature in less than two years or which are of an equal or higher interest rate, or prior lien bonds.

We calculate net earnings before deduction of:

 

   

property retirement expenses, depreciation or depletion,

 

   

interest expense on indebtedness,

 

   

amortization of debt discount and expense, and

 

   

any taxes measured by or dependent on net income.

Table of Contents

We may include only a limited amount of revenue from property not subject to the lien of the indenture in net earnings. Indenture, Sections 7, 27 and Article VI

Property additions consist of electric or gas property, or property used in connection therewith. Property additions exclude securities, contracts or choses in action, merchandise and equipment for consumption or resale, materials and supplies, property used principally for production or gathering of natural gas, or any power sites and uncompleted works under Idaho state permits. In determining net property additions, we deduct all retired funded property from gross property additions except to the extent of certain credits with respect to released funded property. Indenture, Section 4 The indenture restricts issuance of bonds and taking other credits under the indenture based on property additions subject to prior liens to no more than 15% of all bonds outstanding. However, the prior liens must not exceed 50% of the cost or fair value, whichever is less, of these property additions. Indenture, Section 26

As of March 31, 2022, we could issue under the indenture approximately $2.1 billion of additional first mortgage bonds based on unfunded property additions and retired first mortgage bonds.

Release of Properties. Generally, we may release property from the lien of the indenture by doing the following:

 

   

depositing cash with the corporate trustee,

 

   

substituting property additions, or

 

   

waiving our right to issue additional bonds on the basis of retired bond credits, without application of the net earnings test.

Indenture, Section 59

Actions Without Trustee’s Release or Consent. Unless we are in default in the payment of interest on any outstanding bonds or one or more of the completed defaults described under the caption “Events of Default” below have occurred and are continuing, we may, without the trustee’s release or consent, and without providing a report to the trustee or depositing with it the consideration we receive:

 

   

sell or otherwise dispose of any machinery, equipment, tools, implements or other property, which has become old, inadequate, obsolete, worn out, unfit or unadapted for use in our operations, after we replace that property with other property which has at least equal value and is subject to no additional liens,

 

   

cancel or make changes or alterations in or substitutions of any contracts, leases or rights of way grants, or

 

   

surrender or assent to the modification of any right, power, franchise, license, governmental consent or permit under which we may be operating, if, in the opinion of our board of directors, stated in a resolution filed with the corporate trustee, the surrender or modification is desirable in the conduct of our business and does not impair the security of outstanding bonds.

Indenture, Section 58

Amendment of the Indenture. Generally we may modify or amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of 60% in principal amount of all outstanding first mortgage bonds. However, when an amendment does not affect all series of first mortgage bonds, holders of 60% of the principal amount of all outstanding first mortgage bonds of each series affected must also consent to the amendment.

Unless each bondholder consents, we cannot make the following modifications:

 

   

impair the right of any bondholder to receive payment on its bond when due or to sue for any overdue payment,

 

10


Table of Contents
   

create any lien equal or prior to the lien of the indenture,

 

   

deprive any bondholder of a lien upon the mortgaged and pledged property, or

 

   

reduce the bondholder vote necessary to amend the indenture.

Indenture, Sections 113, 121; Twenty-third Supplemental, Section 9; Thirty-sixth Supplemental, Section 9

Events of Default. The following are defaults, sometimes called completed defaults, under the indenture:

 

   

failure to pay the principal of any bond when due and payable whether at maturity or otherwise,

 

   

failure to pay interest on any bond for 60 days,

 

   

failure to pay principal of or interest on any outstanding prior lien bond beyond the grace period, if any, in the prior lien bond,

 

   

failure to observe a covenant not to, without the trustee’s written approval:

 

   

go into voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency, apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for us or our property in any judicial proceedings or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or

 

   

suffer to be made and remain unvacated for a period of 90 days any order for the appointment of a receiver or trustee for us or our property in any proceeding instituted by a creditor, or any final order appointing such a receiver or trustee in any other proceeding or any order adjudicating us to be bankrupt or insolvent, or

 

   

failure to perform other covenants, agreements or conditions contained in the indenture for 90 days after the trustee gives us notice.

Indenture, Section 65

Discharge. The indenture will be cancelled and discharged when all indebtedness secured by the indenture is paid, including charges of the trustee.

In addition, first mortgage bonds will be considered paid and not to be outstanding for any purpose under the indenture when we have irrevocably deposited with the trustee

 

   

sufficient cash, or

 

   

an amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government or obligations which are collateralized by obligations of the United States government which, in the opinion of an independent accountant and the opinion of our officers, will provide sufficient funds, without regard to reinvestment thereof, together with any deposited cash to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption date of such first mortgage bonds, provided that in the case of redemption, proper notice shall have been given or appropriate arrangements have been made with the trustee for the giving of notice.

Indenture, Section 106 and Twenty-seventh Supplemental, Section 10

Miscellaneous.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

As used under this caption, “Description of Debt Securities,” references to “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar references mean Idaho Power Company, excluding, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, its subsidiary.

We will issue the debt securities offered in this prospectus under our Debt Securities Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2001. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas is the trustee under the indenture. We may amend and supplement the indenture and will supplement it by one or more supplemental indentures relating to these debt securities.

This section briefly summarizes the material provisions of the debt securities indenture and uses some terms that are not defined in this prospectus but are defined in the indenture. This summary is not complete and we qualify it by reference to the indenture. The indenture is on file with the SEC, and we incorporate it by reference in this prospectus. You should read the indenture for a complete understanding of its provisions and for the definition of some terms used in this summary. In the summary below, we include references to section numbers of the indenture so that you can easily locate these provisions.

As noted above, in April 2019, Idaho Power received orders from the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC authorizing the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $500 million in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. Authority from the IPUC is through May 31, 2022, subject to extension upon request to the IPUC. The OPUC’s and WPSC’s orders do not impose a time limitation for issuances, but the OPUC order does impose a number of other conditions, including a maximum interest rate limit of 7.0 percent. In April 2022, we filed applications with the IPUC, OPUC, and WPSC to renew our debt financing authority, requesting authorization of the issuance and sale from time to time of up to $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of debt securities and first mortgage bonds, subject to conditions specified in the orders. As of the date of this prospectus, these applications remain pending.

Other Indebtedness. The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue; it does not restrict the amount or type of other debt that we may issue or contain any other provisions that would afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction. We may use other indentures or documentation containing provisions different from those included in the indenture under which we are offering these debt securities in connection with future issues of debt securities. We may also offer our first mortgage bonds, which are secured indebtedness and which are described above under the caption “Description of First Mortgage Bonds.” As of March 31, 2022, there was approximately $2.1 billion in aggregate principal amount of our first mortgage bonds outstanding.

Security, Ranking and Subordination. The debt securities that we may issue under this indenture will be unsecured. The debt securities that we are offering in this prospectus will rank equal in right of payment to our other unsecured indebtedness that is outstanding now or that we may issue in the future, except for any indebtedness that, by its terms, is subordinate to these debt securities.

Issuance in Series. We will issue debt securities in series. Each series of debt securities may have different terms and, in some cases, debt securities of the same series may have different terms. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will contain the following information about those debt securities:

 

   

the title of the series,

 

   

any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the series,

 

   

the date or dates on which we will issue the debt securities of that series and on which we will pay the principal amount and any premium,

 

   

the rate or rates at which the debt securities of that series will bear interest, or how we will determine the rate or rates,

 

12


Table of Contents
   

the date or dates from which interest will accrue,

 

   

the dates on which we will pay interest on the debt securities of that series and the regular record dates for the interest payment dates,

 

   

the place or places where we will pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if different from those we describe in this prospectus,

 

   

any redemption terms, including mandatory redemption through a sinking fund or otherwise, redemption at our option and redemption at the option of the holder,

 

   

the denominations in which we will issue the debt securities of that series, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000,

 

   

the provisions for the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture if different from those we describe in this prospectus, and

 

   

any other terms of the debt securities of the series.

Form and Exchange. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement:

 

   

we will issue the debt securities in fully registered form without coupons,

 

   

a holder of debt securities may exchange debt securities, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of debt securities of the same series, having the same issue date and with identical terms and provisions, and

 

   

a holder of debt securities may transfer debt securities, without charge, other than applicable stamp taxes or other governmental charges.

Indenture, Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.6

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the transfer of debt securities may be registered and exchanged at the corporate trust office of the trustee, in New York, New York, as security registrar. We may change the place for registration of transfer and exchange. We may designate one or more additional places for registration and exchange, all at our discretion.

We are not required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer or exchange of any debt security

 

   

during a period of 15 days prior to giving any notice of redemption with respect to that debt security, or

 

   

that has been selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part.

Indenture, Sections 3.6 and 4.2

See “Book-Entry System” for a description of additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of debt securities. We will describe any additional requirements as to the form and method of exchange of debt securities in the prospectus supplement. Indenture, Section 3.1

Payment of Interest. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will pay interest on each debt security to the person in whose name the debt security is registered as of the close of business on the regular record date for that interest payment date. If we have defaulted in the payment of interest on any debt security, we may pay the defaulted interest to the holder of the debt security as of the close of business on a special record date that is not less than 10 days prior to the date we propose to pay the defaulted interest. Notice of the special record date will be given by mail at least 15 days before the special record date. We may also pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner permitted by requirements of any securities exchange on which the debt security may be listed, if the trustee deems that manner of payment practicable. Indenture, Section 3.8

Table of Contents

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, we will pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest at maturity at the corporate trust office of the trustee, in New York, New York, as our paying agent. We may change the place of payment. We may appoint one or more additional paying agents and may remove any paying agent, all at our discretion. Indenture, Section 4.2

Redemption. We will describe any terms for the optional or mandatory redemption of a particular series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement. Unless we state in the prospectus supplement that the debt securities of that series are redeemable at the option of a holder, debt securities will be redeemable only at our option. In order to exercise our right to redeem any debt security, we must give the holder notice by mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. If we want to redeem fewer than all the debt securities of a series, the trustee will choose the particular debt securities to be redeemed by a method of random selection, substantially pro rata, that the trustee believes is fair and appropriate and which complies with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the debt securities of that series are listed. If the debt securities to be redeemed have different terms and different maturities, we may select the particular debt securities to be redeemed.

Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement, if we are redeeming the debt securities at our option, the redemption will be conditional upon the paying agent or agents receiving from us, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, enough money to redeem all of the debt securities called for redemption, including accrued interest, if any. If sufficient money has not been received, the notice will not be effective and we will not be required to redeem the debt securities. Indenture, Section 14.2

Consolidation, Merger or Sale. The indenture provides that we will not consolidate with, merge with or into any other person, whether or not we are the survivor, or sell, assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any person or group of affiliated persons, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, unless:

 

   

the successor person, if we are not the survivor, is a person organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes in writing, by a supplemental indenture, all of our obligations under the outstanding debt securities and the indenture,

 

   

immediately before and after giving effect to the transaction or series of transactions, no event of default, and no default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and

 

   

we deliver to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture.

Indenture, Article Eleven

Events of Default. The following are events of default with respect to any series of debt securities:

 

   

failure to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on, any debt security of that series when due and payable at maturity, and upon redemption, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred, but excluding any failure by us to deposit money in connection with any redemption that is at our option,

 

   

failure to pay interest on any debt security of that series when due and our failure continues for 30 days, and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred,

 

   

failure to make a sinking fund payment when due with respect to debt securities of that series,

 

   

failure to observe or perform any other covenant, warranty or agreement contained in the debt securities of that series or in the indenture, other than a covenant, agreement or warranty included in the indenture that is specifically dealt with in another event of default, and our failure continues for 60 days after the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have given us written notice,

any other event of default with respect to debt securities of that series specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Indenture, Section 6.1

An event of default with respect to the debt securities of any series does not necessarily constitute an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities issued under the indenture. Unless we cure the default, the trustee is required to give notice of any default known to it within 90 days after the default has occurred; the term “default” includes any event which after notice or passage of time or both would be an event of default. Except in the case of a default in payment, the trustee is protected in withholding notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of notice is in the interest of the holders. Indenture, Section 6.11

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series, other than due to events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice in writing to us, and to the trustee if given by the holders, may declare the unpaid principal of and accrued interest to the date of acceleration on all the outstanding debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. The holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, upon the conditions provided in the indenture, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences with respect to that series.

If an event of default occurs due to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the outstanding debt securities of all series will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder. Indenture, Section 6.1

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, subject to the right of the trustee to decline to follow instructions that would be unlawful, expose the trustee to personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the interests of holders who do not join in the direction. Indenture, Section 6.9

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee, if an event of default shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless the holders have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity. Indenture, Section 7.2

The indenture provides that we must periodically file statements with the trustee regarding compliance by us with all conditions and covenants contained in the indenture. Indenture, Section 4.6

Table of Contents

Modification of Indenture. We may modify the indenture, without notice to or the consent of any holders of debt securities, with respect to certain matters, including:

 

   

to add one or more covenants or other provisions for the benefit of holders of debt securities of one or more series or to surrender any of our rights or powers, and

 

   

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or to correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision of the indenture.

Indenture, Section 10.1

In addition, we may modify certain of our rights and obligations and the rights of holders of the debt securities with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification. Indenture, Section 10.2

No amendment or modification may, without the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt security affected:

 

   

change the stated maturity of any debt security,

 

   

reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, or the amount of any premium on, or any amount payable on redemption of, or extend the time for payment or change the method of calculating interest on, any debt security, or reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount security that would be due and payable upon acceleration of maturity,

 

   

impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with respect to any debt security,

 

   

reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series necessary to modify or amend the indenture, or to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or defaults or events of default and their consequences, or

 

   

subordinate any debt securities to any other of our indebtedness.

Indenture, Section 10.2

Waiver. The holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive any default or event of default with respect to that series, except payment and bankruptcy defaults. Indenture, Section 6.10

Defeasance. Unless we state otherwise in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of a particular series, the indenture provides that we shall be discharged from our obligations under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities at any time prior to the maturity date or redemption of that series when we meet certain requirements specified in the indenture, including

 

   

when we have irrevocably deposited in trust with the trustee:

 

   

sufficient funds to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption on, the debt securities of that series, or

 

   

an amount of direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States government as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of any accrued income on those obligations, to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest to the maturity date or redemption on, the debt securities of that series, and

 

   

when we have paid all other sums payable with respect to the debt securities of that series.

Upon the discharge of the indenture with respect to a particular series, the holders of debt securities of that series shall no longer be entitled to the benefits of the indenture, except for purposes of registration of transfer, exchange and replacement of lost, stolen or mutilated debt securities.

Concerning the Trustee. We and our affiliates may conduct banking transactions with the trustee or its affiliates in the normal course of business.

Table of Contents

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM

We may issue all or some of the first mortgage bonds and debt securities in book-entry form, which means that global notes, not certificates, will represent the securities. If we issue global notes representing any securities, the following provisions will apply to all book-entry securities:

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Depository Trust Company, New York, NY, which we refer to as “DTC,” will act as securities depository for the securities. We will issue the securities as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s partnership nominee, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. We will issue one or more fully-registered security certificates for each issue of the securities, in the aggregate principal amount of the issue, and we will deposit the certificates with the corporate trustee to hold as agent for DTC. We and the trustee will treat Cede & Co. as the holder of the securities for all purposes.

DTC has informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among direct participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between direct participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser, the beneficial owner, is in turn to be recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the securities is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all securities deposited with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements that may be in effect from time to time.

 

18


Table of Contents

Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the issue to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co., nor any other DTC nominee, will consent or vote with respect to the securities unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s money market instrument procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

Redemption proceeds and distributions, including principal and interest payments, on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the trustee on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in street name. Payment by participants to beneficial owners will be the responsibility of the participants and not of DTC, the trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds and distributions to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility or the responsibility of the trustee. Disbursement of such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

In case of any optional tender for or mandatory purchase of securities, pursuant to their terms, a beneficial owner shall give notice to elect to have its securities purchased or tendered through its participant to the tender/remarketing agent and shall effect delivery of the securities by causing the direct participant to transfer the participant’s interest in the securities, on DTC’s records, to the tender/remarketing agent. The requirement for physical delivery of securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the securities are transferred by direct participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered securities to the tender/remarketing agent’s DTC account.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC, or a successor securities depository. In that event, security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent, nor the registrar for the securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to these beneficial ownership interests.

The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

The underwriters, dealers or agents of any of the securities may be direct participants of DTC.

The financial statements of Idaho Power Company incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the effectiveness of Idaho Power Company’s internal control over financial reporting have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports. Such financial statements are incorporated by reference in reliance upon the reports of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited interim financial information for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 which is incorporated by reference herein, Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, have applied limited procedures in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) for a review of such information. However, as stated in their report included in Idaho Power Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and incorporated by reference herein, they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. Deloitte & Touche LLP are not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their report on the unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by an accountant within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Sections 30-1-850 et seq. of the Idaho Business Corporation Act provide for indemnification of each registrant’s directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Article VIII of IDACORP, Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Article 12 of Idaho Power Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, each provides that the applicable registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers against liability and expenses and shall advance expenses to its directors and officers in connection with any proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Idaho Business Corporation Act as now in effect or as it may be amended or substituted from time to time. Article VI of IDACORP, Inc.’s Amended Bylaws and Article 6 of Idaho Power Company’s Amended Bylaws provide that each registrant shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent against liability and expenses in connection with any proceeding, to the extent permitted under applicable law. Article VI of IDACORP, Inc.’s Amended Bylaws and Article 6 Idaho Power Company’s Amended Bylaws each further provides that the applicable registrant may enter into indemnification agreements with any director, officer, employee or agent to the extent permitted under any applicable law.

1933, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under said Act and to provide contribution in circumstances where indemnification is unavailable. Agency agreements may contain similar agreements.

The premium, payable solely by each registrant, is not separately allocable to the sale of the securities registered hereby. In addition, each registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers to provide for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by law. See “Item 17. Undertakings” for a description of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s position regarding such indemnification provisions.

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or, as to a registration statement on Form S-3, is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

Each of the undersigned registrants undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, such undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of such undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

II-11


Table of Contents

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about such undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of such registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of each registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by such registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the applicable registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Note, Series

1. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities (hereinafter called the “Securities”) of the Company of the series hereinafter specified, all such Securities issued and to be issued under an Indenture dated as of February 1, 2001 between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, formerly known as Bankers Trust Company, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as

 

A-1


of February 1, 2001 and the Supplemental Indenture dated as of (herein called, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of rights and limitations of rights thereunder of the Holders of the Securities and of the rights, obligations, duties and immunities of the Trustee and of the Company, and the terms upon which the Securities are and are to be authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series designated as Note, Series        , [due             ] (the “Series Notes”) limited to $            in aggregate principal amount. The Series Notes may be issued at various times with different maturity dates and different principal repayment provisions, may bear interest at different rates, and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.

2. A. The record date (the “Regular Record Date”) with respect to any Interest Payment Date (as defined below) shall be the close of business on [the last day of the calendar month] [the fifteenth day of the calendar month] preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date shall be a Business Day (unless otherwise set forth herein). Interest that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the first payment of interest on any Note with an Original Issue Date between a Regular Record Date and the succeeding Interest Payment Date will be made on the Interest Payment Date following the immediately succeeding Regular Record Date to the registered owner on such immediately succeeding Regular Record Date; and provided, further, that interest payable at Maturity will be payable to the person to whom principal shall be payable. “Maturity” means the date on which the principal amount hereof becomes due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity or earlier by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest that is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered owner hereof on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail, by or on behalf of the Company to such Holder not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than ten days preceding the date for payment of such defaulted interest, or may be paid as more fully provided in the Indenture. “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to be closed in The City of New York.

B. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount from its Original Issue Date at the rate per annum stated on the face hereof until the principal amount hereof is paid or made available for payment. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Company will pay interest semi-annually each and (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing (except as set forth above in the case of a Note with an Original Issue Date between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date) with the Interest Payment Date immediately following the Original Issue Date and at Maturity. If any Interest Payment Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no interest shall accrue by reason of such delayed payment. Each payment of interest in respect of an Interest Payment Date shall include interest accrued to but excluding such Interest Payment Date. Interest on Fixed Rate Series Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months (unless otherwise specified herein).

3. Payments of interest (other than interest payable at Maturity) will be made by mailing a check to the Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the Securities Register of the Company on the applicable Regular Record Date, unless otherwise determined by the Company. The principal amount hereof and any premium and the interest payable at Maturity will be paid at Maturity against presentation of this Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or as otherwise provided in the Indenture.

4. If specified above, this Note may be redeemed, as a whole or from time to time in part, at the option of the Company, on not less than 30 days’ prior notice given as provided in the Indenture, on any Redemption Date(s) and at the related Redemption Price(s) (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount

 

A-2


hereof) set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to such Redemption Date. If no such Redemption Date is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be so redeemed prior to the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. If fewer than all the Outstanding Series Notes of like tenor and terms are to be redeemed, the particular Series Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date from the Outstanding Series Notes of like tenor or terms not previously called for redemption. Such selection shall be of principal amounts in increments of $1,000. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, such selection shall be made by lot. The notice of such redemption shall specify which Series Notes are to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Note in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series of like tenor or terms for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued to the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

5. If specified above, this Note will be subject to repayment at the option of the Holder hereof on the Repayment Date(s) and at the related Repayment Price(s) (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount hereof) indicated on the face hereof. If no such Repayment Date is set forth on the face hereof, this Note may not be so repaid prior to the Maturity Date specified on the face hereof. On each Repayment Date, if any, this Note shall be repayable in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof at the applicable Repayment Price set forth on the face hereof, together with interest accrued and unpaid hereon to such Repayment Date. In order for this Note to be repaid in whole or in part at the option of the Holder hereof, the Paying Agent must receive not less than 30 but not more than 45 days prior to the Repayment Date (i) the Note with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” below duly completed or (ii) a facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or a trust company in the United States of America setting forth the name of the Holder of the Note, the principal amount of the Note, the certificate number of the Note or a description of the Note’s tenor or terms, the principal amount of the Note to be repaid, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Note to be repaid with the form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Note duly completed will be received by such Paying Agent no later than five Business Days after the date of such facsimile transmission or letter and such Note and form duly completed are received by such Paying Agent by such fifth Business Day. Exercise of such repayment option shall be irrevocable. Such option may be exercised by the Holder for less than the entire principal amount provided that the principal amount remaining outstanding after repayment is an authorized denomination.

6. If an Event of Default with respect to the Series Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all of the Series Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

7. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of all series to be affected thereby (voting as one class). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive past defaults or certain Events of Default under the Indenture, with certain exceptions as therein provided, and their consequences with respect to such series, prior to the acceleration with respect to the Securities of such series. In the case of any such waiver, the Holder of this Note shall be restored to his former position and rights hereunder, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any related Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

8. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall affect or impair the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the places, at the times, at the rates, in the amounts and in the coin or currency as prescribed herein and in the Indenture.

9. Series Notes will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

  Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed by IDACORP, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to IDACORP, Inc., an Idaho corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Rules”), of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration of the sale from time to time of one or more series of the following securities by the Company (collectively, the “Securities”):

(a)    shares of the Company’s common stock, without par value (“Common Stock”), and

(b)    debt securities of the Company (“Debt Securities”).

The Debt Securities will be issued in one or more series pursuant to the Indenture for Senior Debt Securities dated as of February 1, 2001, as supplemented by all indentures supplemental thereto (the “Debt Securities Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company), as trustee (the “Trustee”), which is included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined such documents, records and instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied on (a) information in public authority documents (and all opinions based on public authority documents are as of the date of such public authority documents and not as of the date of this opinion letter), and (b) information provided in certificates of officers of the Company. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

In such examination, we have assumed the following without investigation: (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; and (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed.


Based upon the foregoing examination and in reliance thereon, and subject to (a) the assumptions stated and in reliance on statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined and (b) completion of all corporate action required to be taken by the Company to duly authorize each proposed issuance of Securities, we are of the opinion that:

 

  1.

With respect to Common Stock, when the shares of Common Stock have been issued and delivered in accordance with the applicable purchase, underwriting or similar agreement against the receipt of requisite consideration therefor provided for therein, such shares of Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

  2.

With respect to Debt Securities, when (a) the terms of the Debt Securities have been established in accordance with the Debt Securities Indenture, (b) the Debt Securities Indenture and the supplement thereto, if any, have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (c) the applicable supplement to the Debt Securities Indenture, if any, has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the trustee thereunder and (d) the Debt Securities have been executed, issued, delivered and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Debt Securities Indenture, the applicable supplement thereto, if any, and the applicable purchase, underwriting or similar agreement against the receipt of requisite consideration therefor provided for therein, the Debt Securities will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exclusions and qualifications:

 

  (a)

Idaho Power Company

1221 West Idaho Street

Boise, Idaho 83702-5627

 

  Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-3 Filed by Idaho Power Company

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Idaho Power Company, an Idaho corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Rules”), of a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration of the sale from time to time of one or more series of the following securities by the Company (collectively, the “Securities”):

 

  (a)

first mortgage bonds of the Company (the “First Mortgage Bonds”), and

 

  (b)

unsecured debt securities of the Company (the “Debentures”).

The First Mortgage Bonds will be issued in one or more series pursuant to the Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated as of October 1, 1937, as supplemented by all indentures supplemental thereto (the “First Mortgage Bond Indenture”), between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly known as Bankers Trust Company) as the Corporate Trustee, which is included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

The Debentures will be issued in one or more series pursuant to an Indenture for Debt Securities dated as of August 1, 2001 (the “Debenture Indenture”) between the Company and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee, which is included as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. The First Mortgage Bond Indenture and the Debenture Indenture are each referred to in this opinion as an “Indenture.”

In our capacity as counsel to the Company, we have examined such documents, records and instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion. As to matters of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied on (a) information in public authority documents (and all opinions based on public authority documents are as of the date of such public authority documents and not as of the date of this opinion letter), and (b) information provided in certificates of officers of the Company. We have not independently verified the facts so relied on.

In such examination, we have assumed the following without investigation: (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; and (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed.

Based upon the foregoing examination and in reliance thereon, and subject to (a) the assumptions stated and in reliance on statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined and (b) completion of all corporate action required to be taken by the Company to duly authorize each proposed issuance of Securities, we are of the opinion that, when (i) the terms of the Securities have been established in accordance with the applicable Indenture and the applicable supplement thereto, if any, (ii) the applicable Indenture and the applicable supplement thereto, if any, have been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, (iii) the applicable supplement, if any, to the applicable Indenture has been duly authorized and validly executed and delivered by the Company and the trustee thereunder and (iv) the Securities have been executed, issued, delivered and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Indenture, the applicable supplement thereto, if any, and the applicable purchase, underwriting or similar agreement against the receipt of requisite consideration therefor provided for therein, the Securities will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company.


The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exclusions and qualifications:

 

  (a)

Our opinions are as of the date hereof, and we have no responsibility to update this opinion for events and circumstances occurring after the date hereof or as to facts relating to prior events that are subsequently brought to our attention. This opinion is limited to the laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof, and we disavow any undertaking to advise you of any changes in law.

 

  (b)

We express no opinion as to enforceability of any right or obligation to the extent such right or obligation is subject to and limited by (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally; (ii) rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether arising prior to or after the date hereof or considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; or (iii) the effect of federal and state securities laws and principles of public policy on the rights of indemnity and contribution.

 

  (c)

We express no opinion concerning any laws other than the laws in their current forms of the States of Idaho and New York and the federal securities laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction and expressly disclaim responsibility for advising you as to the effect, if any, that the laws of any other jurisdiction may have on the opinions set forth herein.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, including any and all post-effective amendments, and to the reference to our firm in the prospectus and any prospectus supplements relating thereto under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or related Rules.

ARTICLE V

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND OTHERS

Section 5.01. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings other than Those by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, the Company shall indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the Company served in any capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of the fact that such person, his or her testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the Company, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which such person reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and had no reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 5.02. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, the Company shall indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person, his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, of any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,

 

- 6 -


against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification under this Section 5.02 shall be made in respect of (a) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (b) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 5.03. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only if authorized in the specific case (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding upon a finding that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be; or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, has been met by such director or officer; or (y) by the stockholders upon a finding that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be. A person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described in Sections 5.01 or 5.02, shall be entitled to indemnification as authorized in such section.

Section 5.04. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 5.03, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 5.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be.

Section 5.05. Serving an Employee Benefit Plan on behalf of the Company. For the purpose of this Article V, the Company shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the performance by such person of his duties to the Company also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall be considered fines; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of such person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

Section 5.06. Indemnification upon Application to a Court. Notwithstanding the failure of the Company to provide indemnification and despite any contrary resolution of the Board or stockholders under Section 5.03, or in the event that no determination has been made within ninety

 

- 7 -


days after receipt of the Company of a written claim therefor, upon application to a court by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02. Such application shall be upon notice to the Company. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.03 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

Section 5.07. Expenses Payable in Advance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount (i) if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article V, (ii) where indemnification is granted, to the extent expenses so advanced by the Company or allowed by a court exceed the indemnification to which such person is entitled and (iii) upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding, or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel or (y) by the stockholders and, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to revoke at any time any approval previously granted in respect of any such request for the advancement of expenses or to, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose limits or conditions in respect of any such approval.

Section 5.08. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses granted pursuant to, or provided by, this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled whether contained in the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws or, when authorized by the Organization Certificate or these By-Laws, (i) a resolution of stockholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. Nothing contained in this Article V shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

Section 5.09. Insurance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance (in a single contract or supplement thereto, but not in a retrospective rated contract): (i) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of this Article V, (ii) to indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V and applicable law, and (iii) to indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York Superintendent of Financial Services, for a retention amount and for co-insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such insurance shall be subject to the provisions of, and the Company shall comply with the requirements set forth in, Section 7023 of the New York State Banking Law.

 

- 8 -


Section 5.10. Limitations on Indemnification and Insurance. All indemnification and insurance provisions contained in this Article V are subject to any limitations and prohibitions under applicable law, including but not limited to Section 7022 (with respect to indemnification, advancement or allowance) and Section 7023 (with respect to insurance) of the New York State Banking Law and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (with respect to administrative proceedings or civil actions initiated by any federal banking agency). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, no indemnification, advancement or allowance shall be made (i) to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled, or (ii) in any circumstance where it appears (a) that the indemnification would be inconsistent with a provision of the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws, a resolution of the Board or of the stockholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action, in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the threatened or pending action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (b) if there has been a settlement approved by the court, that the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving the settlement.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, but subject to any requirements of applicable law, (i) except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5.06), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his testators intestate) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) with respect to indemnification or advancement of expenses relating to attorneys’ fees under this Article V, counsel for the present or former director or officer must be reasonably acceptable to the Company (and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a panel of approved law firms for such purpose, out of which the present or former director or officer could be required to select an approved law firm to represent him), (iii) indemnification in respect of amounts paid in settlement shall be subject to the prior consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) any and all obligations of the Corporation under this Article V shall be subject to applicable law, (v) in no event shall any payments pursuant to this Article V be made if duplicative of any indemnification or advancement of expenses or other reimbursement available to the applicable director or officer (other than for coverage maintained by such person in his individual capacity), and (vi) no indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be provided under these By-Laws to any person in respect of any expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to the extent incurred by such person in his capacity or position with another entity (including, without limitation, an entity that is a stockholder of the Company or any of the branches or affiliates of such stockholder), except as expressly provided in these By-Laws in respect of such person’s capacity and position as a director or officer of the Company or such person is a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Section 5.11. Indemnification of Other Persons. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to an adoption of a policy or otherwise) to employees and agents of the Company (whether similar to those conferred in this Article V upon directors and officers of the Company or on other terms and conditions authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors), as well as to employees of direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and to other persons (or categories of persons) approved from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 5.12. Repeal. Any repeal or modification of this Article V shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VI

CAPITAL STOCK

Section 6.01. Certificates. The interest of each stockholder of the Company shall be evidenced by certificates for shares of stock in such form as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe. The certificates of stock shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board or the President or a Managing Director or a Director or a Vice President and by the Secretary, or the Treasurer, or an Assistant Secretary, or an Assistant Treasurer, sealed with the seal of the Company or a facsimile thereof, and countersigned and registered in such manner, if any, as the Board of Directors may by resolution prescribe. Where any such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Company or its employee, or registered by a registrar other than the Company or its employee, the signature of any such officer may be a facsimile signature. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Company, whether because of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Company, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Company and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Company.

Section 6.02. Transfer. The shares of stock of the Company shall be transferred only upon the books of the Company by the holder thereof in person or by his attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Company or its agents may reasonably require.

Section 6.03. Record Dates. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date, not less than 10 nor more than 50 days preceding the date of any meeting of stockholders, or the date for the payment of any dividend, or the date for the distribution or allotment of any rights, or the date when any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock shall go into effect, as a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or to receive any distribution or allotment of such rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of any such change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, and in such case only such stockholders as shall be stockholders of record on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at, such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such distribution or allotment or rights or to exercise such rights, as the case may be, notwithstanding any transfer of any stock on the books of the Company after any such record date fixed as aforesaid.

Section 6.04. Lost Certificates. In the event that any certificate of stock is lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares in lieu thereof. The Board may in its discretion, before the issuance of such new certificate, require the owner of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate or the legal representative of the owner to make an affidavit or affirmation setting forth such facts as to the loss, destruction or mutilation as it deems necessary and to give the Company a bond in such reasonable sum as it directs to indemnify the Company.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS

Section 1.02. Special Meetings.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, the Company shall indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the Company served in any capacity at the request of the Company, by reason of the fact that such person, his or her testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the Company, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which such person reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and had no reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 5.02. Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Company.

against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and necessarily incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification under this Section 5.02 shall be made in respect of (a) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (b) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 5.03. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only if authorized in the specific case (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding upon a finding that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be; or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, has been met by such director or officer; or (y) by the stockholders upon a finding that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be. A person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding of the character described in Sections 5.01 or 5.02, shall be entitled to indemnification as authorized in such section.

Section 5.04. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 5.03, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Company or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Company or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Company or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 5.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be.

Section 5.06. Indemnification upon Application to a Court. Notwithstanding the failure of the Company to provide indemnification and despite any contrary resolution of the Board or stockholders under Section 5.03, or in the event that no determination has been made within ninety

 

- 7 -


days after receipt of the Company of a written claim therefor, upon application to a court by a director or officer, indemnification shall be awarded by a court to the extent authorized in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02. Such application shall be upon notice to the Company. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 5.03 nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

Section 5.07. Expenses Payable in Advance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount (i) if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article V, (ii) where indemnification is granted, to the extent expenses so advanced by the Company or allowed by a court exceed the indemnification to which such person is entitled and (iii) upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding, or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel or (y) by the stockholders and, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company reserves the right in its sole and absolute discretion to revoke at any time any approval previously granted in respect of any such request for the advancement of expenses or to, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose limits or conditions in respect of any such approval.

Section 5.08. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses granted pursuant to, or provided by, this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled whether contained in the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws or, when authorized by the Organization Certificate or these By-Laws, (i) a resolution of stockholders, (ii) a resolution of directors, or (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled. Nothing contained in this Article V shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

Section 5.09. Insurance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance (in a single contract or supplement thereto, but not in a retrospective rated contract): (i) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of this Article V, (ii) to indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V and applicable law, and (iii) to indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York Superintendent of Financial Services, for a retention amount and for co-insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such insurance shall be subject to the provisions of, and the Company shall comply with the requirements set forth in, Section 7023 of the New York State Banking Law.

Section 5.10. Limitations on Indemnification and Insurance. All indemnification and insurance provisions contained in this Article V are subject to any limitations and prohibitions under applicable law, including but not limited to Section 7022 (with respect to indemnification, advancement or allowance) and Section 7023 (with respect to insurance) of the New York State Banking Law and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (with respect to administrative proceedings or civil actions initiated by any federal banking agency). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, no indemnification, advancement or allowance shall be made (i) to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled, or (ii) in any circumstance where it appears (a) that the indemnification would be inconsistent with a provision of the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws, a resolution of the Board or of the stockholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action, in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the threatened or pending action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (b) if there has been a settlement approved by the court, that the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving the settlement.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, but subject to any requirements of applicable law, (i) except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5.06), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his testators intestate) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) with respect to indemnification or advancement of expenses relating to attorneys’ fees under this Article V, counsel for the present or former director or officer must be reasonably acceptable to the Company (and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a panel of approved law firms for such purpose, out of which the present or former director or officer could be required to select an approved law firm to represent him), (iii) indemnification in respect of amounts paid in settlement shall be subject to the prior consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) any and all obligations of the Corporation under this Article V shall be subject to applicable law, (v) in no event shall any payments pursuant to this Article V be made if duplicative of any indemnification or advancement of expenses or other reimbursement available to the applicable director or officer (other than for coverage maintained by such person in his individual capacity), and (vi) no indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be provided under these By-Laws to any person in respect of any expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to the extent incurred by such person in his capacity or position with another entity (including, without limitation, an entity that is a stockholder of the Company or any of the branches or affiliates of such stockholder), except as expressly provided in these By-Laws in respect of such person’s capacity and position as a director or officer of the Company or such person is a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Section 5.11. Indemnification of Other Persons. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses (whether pursuant to an adoption of a policy or otherwise) to employees and agents of the Company (whether similar to those conferred in this Article V upon directors and officers of the Company or on other terms and conditions authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors), as well as to employees of direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and to other persons (or categories of persons) approved from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 5.12. Repeal.

Section 6.01. Certificates. The interest of each stockholder of the Company shall be evidenced by certificates for shares of stock in such form as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.

The shares of stock of the Company shall be transferred only upon the books of the Company by the holder thereof in person or by his attorney, upon surrender for cancellation of certificates for the same number of shares, with an assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Company or its agents may reasonably require.

Section 6.04. Lost Certificates. In the event that any certificate of stock is lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of a new certificate of the same tenor and for the same number of shares in lieu thereof. The Board may in its discretion, before the issuance of such new certificate, require the owner of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate or the legal representative of the owner to make an affidavit or affirmation setting forth such facts as to the loss, destruction or mutilation as it deems necessary and to give the Company a bond in such reasonable sum as it directs to indemnify the Company.

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.01. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the stockholders of Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Company”) shall be held in the City of New York within the State of New York within the first four months of the Company’s fiscal year, on such date and at such time and place as the board of directors of the Company (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) may designate in the call or in a waiver of notice thereof, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 1.02. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders of the Company may be called by the Board of Directors or by the President, and shall be called by the President or by the Secretary upon the written request of the holders of record of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares of stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, at such times. If for a period of thirteen months after the last annual meeting, there is a failure to elect a sufficient number of directors to conduct the business of the Company, the Board of Directors shall call a special meeting for the election of directors within two weeks after the expiration of such period; otherwise, holders of record of ten percent (10%) of the shares of stock of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors may, in writing, demand the call of a special meeting at the office of the Company for the election of directors, specifying the date and month thereof, but not less than two nor more than three months from the date of such call. At any such special meeting called on demand of stockholders, the stockholders attending, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote in an election of directors shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of electing directors, but not for the transaction of any other business.

Section 1.03. Notice of Meetings. Notice of the time, place and purpose of every meeting of stockholders shall be delivered personally or mailed not less than 10 nor more than 50 days before the date of such meeting (or any other action) to each stockholder of record entitled to vote, at his post office address appearing upon the records of the Company or at such other address as shall be furnished in writing by him to the Secretary of the Company for such purpose. Such further notice shall be given as may be required by law or by these By-Laws. Any meeting may be held without notice if all stockholders entitled to vote are present in person or by proxy, or if notice is waived in writing, either before or after the meeting, by those not present.

Section 1.04. Quorum. The holders of record of at least a majority of the shares of the stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall, except as otherwise provided by law, by the Company’s Organization Certificate or by these By-Laws, constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders; if there be no such quorum, the holders of a majority of such shares so present or represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall have been obtained.

Directors shall hold office until the next annual election and until their successors shall have been elected and shall have qualified. Director vacancies not exceeding one-third of the whole number of the Board of Directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, and the directors so elected shall hold office for the balance of the unexpired term.

Any one or more of the directors of the Company may be removed either with or without cause at any time by a vote of the holders of record of at least a majority of the shares of stock of the Company, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, and thereupon the term of the director or directors who shall have been so removed shall forthwith terminate and there shall be a vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors, to be filled by a vote of the stockholders as provided in these By-Laws.

Section 2.05. Meetings, Notice. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such place either within or without the State of New York, as may from time to time be fixed by resolution of the Board, or as may be specified in the call or in a waiver of notice thereof.

Section 5.03. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only if authorized in the specific case (i) by the Board acting by a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such action or proceeding upon a finding that the director or officer has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be; or (ii) if a quorum is not obtainable or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (x) by the Board upon the opinion in writing of independent legal counsel that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be, has been met by such director or officer; or (y) by the stockholders upon a finding that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as the case may be.

Section 5.07. Expenses Payable in Advance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, and subject to applicable law, expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount (i) if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Article V, (ii) where indemnification is granted, to the extent expenses so advanced by the Company or allowed by a court exceed the indemnification to which such person is entitled and (iii) upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate.

Nothing contained in this Article V shall affect any rights to indemnification to which corporate personnel other than directors and officers may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law.

Section 5.09. Insurance. Subject to the other provisions of this Article V, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance (in a single contract or supplement thereto, but not in a retrospective rated contract): (i) to indemnify the Company for any obligation which it incurs as a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the provisions of this Article V, (ii) to indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V and applicable law, and (iii) to indemnify directors and officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Article V, provided the contract of insurance covering such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York Superintendent of Financial Services, for a retention amount and for co-insurance.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, no indemnification, advancement or allowance shall be made (i) to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he was not legally entitled, or (ii) in any circumstance where it appears (a) that the indemnification would be inconsistent with a provision of the Company’s Organization Certificate, these By-Laws, a resolution of the Board or of the stockholders, an agreement or other proper corporate action, in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the threatened or pending action or proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or (b) if there has been a settlement approved by the court, that the indemnification would be inconsistent with any condition with respect to indemnification expressly imposed by the court in approving the settlement.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, but subject to any requirements of applicable law, (i) except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5.06), the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his testators intestate) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) with respect to indemnification or advancement of expenses relating to attorneys’ fees under this Article V, counsel for the present or former director or officer must be reasonably acceptable to the Company (and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, establish a panel of approved law firms for such purpose, out of which the present or former director or officer could be required to select an approved law firm to represent him), (iii) indemnification in respect of amounts paid in settlement shall be subject to the prior consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) any and all obligations of the Corporation under this Article V shall be subject to applicable law, (v) in no event shall any payments pursuant to this Article V be made if duplicative of any indemnification or advancement of expenses or other reimbursement available to the applicable director or officer (other than for coverage maintained by such person in his individual capacity), and (vi) no indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be provided under these By-Laws to any person in respect of any expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to the extent incurred by such person in his capacity or position with another entity (including, without limitation, an entity that is a stockholder of the Company or any of the branches or affiliates of such stockholder), except as expressly provided in these By-Laws in respect of such person’s capacity and position as a director or officer of the Company or such person is a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Section 5.11. Indemnification of Other Persons.
