The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the Trustee and its

ARTICLE I

SECTION 1. (I) There shall be a series of bonds designated "First Mortgage
Bonds, 6.18% Series due 2055" (herein sometimes referred to as the 'Bonds of the Seventieth
Series" or the 'Bonds"), each of which shall also bear the descriptive title First Mortgage Bond,

(II) The Bonds of the Seventieth Series shall have the following terms and
characteristics:

principal amount to $120,000,000 (except for Bonds of such series authenticated and
delivered upon transfer of or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Bonds of such series);
(b) the principal of the Bonds of the Seventieth Series shall (unless
theretofore paid) be payable on the Stated Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined);

IM-#10765497.6
during any period less than one year for which payment is made shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-days months;
(d) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each Bond of
the Seventieth Series payable at Maturity shall be payable to the registered owner thereof
upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. The
interest on each Bond of the Seventieth Series (other than interest payable at Maturity)
shall be payable by check, in similar coin or currency, mailed to the registered owner
thereof as of the close of business on the Record Date (as hereinafter defined) next
preceding each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if such registered owner
shall be a securities depositary, such payment may be made by such other means in lieu
of check as shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Trustee and such registered owner;
and, provided, further, that, so long as any Bond of the Seventieth Series shall be held by
(i) the original purchaser thereof under the Bond Purchase Agreement (as hereinafter
defined) or (ii) any other Institutional Investor (as hereinafter defined) that (A) is the
direct or indirect transferee of such Bond from such original purchaser and (B) has made
the same agreement relating to such Bond as such original purchaser made in Section 8.2
of the Bond Purchase Agreement, payment of principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on such Bond of the Seventieth Series shall be payable in the manner specified in
the Bond Purchase Agreement. Interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the person to
whom principal shall be paid.
(e) (i) Prior to the Par Call Date (as hereinafter defined), the Bonds of the
Seventieth Series shall be redeemable in whole at any time, or in part from time to time,
at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to the greater of
(A) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed
and
(B) (I) the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds being
redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that the Bonds were stated to
mature on the Par Call Date), discounted to the date of redemption on a
semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield (as hereinafter
defined) plus 50 basis points, less (II) interest accrued to the redemption
date,
plus, in the case of either (A) or (B) above, whichever is applicable, accrued and unpaid
interest on such Bonds to the date of redemption.
(ii) On or after the Par Call Date, the Bonds of the Seventieth Series
shall be redeemable in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the option of the
Company at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds
7
IM-#10765497.6
being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Bonds to the date of
redemption.
(f) (i) "Par Call Date" means January 1, 2055;
(ii) "Treasury Yield" means, with respect to any redemption of Bonds
of the Seventieth Series, the yield to maturity determined as follows for the latest day for
which yields for Treasury constant maturities are reported on H.15 (as hereinafter
defined) as of the Calculation Date (as hereinafter defined):
(A) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly
equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the
"Remaining Life"); or
(B) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15
having a term exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the yield to maturity
determined by linear interpolation on a straight-line basis between (I) the
yield for the Treasury constant maturity reported on H.15 with the term
next longer than the Remaining Life and (II) the yield for the Treasury
constant maturity so reported with the term next shorter than the
Remaining Life, or
(C) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15
shorter than the Remaining Life, or there is no such Treasury constant
maturity on H.15 longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life.
The Treasury Yield shall be rounded to three decimal places. The Treasury Yield shall
be calculated as of the third Business Day (as hereinafter defined)preceding the earlier of
(X) the date notice of redemption is mailed to holders of Bonds of the Seventieth Series
and (Y) the date irrevocable arrangements with the Trustee for the mailing of such notice
shall have been made, as the case may be (the "Calculation Date"). For purposes of this
paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity shall be deemed to have a term
equal to the number of years, months and days, as applicable, from the redemption date
of the Bonds to be redeemed to the Par Call Date.
If, on the third business day preceding the Calculation Date, H.15 is no longer
published or, if published, no longer contains the yields for nominal Treasury constant
maturities, the Treasury yield shall be the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual
equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business
day preceding the Calculation Date of:
(A) the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a
maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable, in either case
subject to clause (C)below; or
(B) if there is no United States Treasury security maturing on
the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury
8
IM-#10765497.6
securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one
with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity
date following the Par Call Date, the United States Treasury security with
a maturity date next preceding the Par Call Date, subject to clause (C)
below; or
(C) if there are two or more United States Treasury securities
maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury
securities otherwise meeting the criteria of clause (A) or clause (B) above,
the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based
upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such securities at such
time.
In determining the Treasury yield in accordance with this paragraph, the semi-annual
yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the
average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at
11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, rounded to
three decimal places.
(iii) "H.15" means the daily statistical release entitled "Selected
Interest Rates (Daily) — H.15", or any successor publication, published by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor entity; or, if such Board of
Governors no longer publishes the information contained in such statistical release, a
publication containing similar information published by the U.S. Department of the
Treasury, or any successor or other U.S. governmental body; and, in any case, references
to H.15 shall be deemed to contemplate, in particular, the information under the caption
"U.S. governmental securities — Treasury constant maturities — Nominal" (or any
successor caption or heading containing similar information).
(iv) The Company's actions and determinations in determining the
redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(g) If less than all of the outstanding Bonds of the Seventieth Series
are to be redeemed, the principal amount to be redeemed shall be prorated among all of
the holders of the Bonds in the proportion that their respective holdings bear to the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding on the date of selection. The
portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $1,000 or an
integral multiple thereof and such rounding allocations as may be requisite for this
purpose shall be made by the Trustee in its uncontrolled discretion. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company in writing of the distinctive numbers of the Bonds and the
portions thereof so selected for redemption.
(h) Except as provided in this subsection(II) of Section 1,
(i) the Bonds of the Seventieth Series shall not be redeemable
prior to the Stated Maturity Date; and
9
IM-#10765497.6
(ii) no amount other than the principal of and interest on the
Bonds of the Seventieth Series shall be payable in respect of the Bonds at Maturity (as
hereinafter defined) or otherwise.
(i) in the event of any conflict between the provisions of Section
12.2(c) of the Bond Purchase Agreement and the provisions of the Mortgage, Section
12.2(c) of the Bond Purchase Agreement shall govern.
(III) At the option of the registered owner, any Bonds of the Seventieth Series,
upon surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount
of Bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.
The Bonds of the Seventieth Series shall be transferable, upon the surrender
thereof for cancellation, together with a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the
registrar duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
Upon any exchange or transfer of Bonds of the Seventieth Series, the Company
may make a charge therefor sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or taxes or other governmental
charge, as provided in Section 12 of the Original Mortgage, but the Company hereby waives any
right to make a charge in addition thereto or any exchange or transfer of Bonds of the Seventieth
Series; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any transfer or
exchange of any Bonds of the Seventieth Series for a period of 10 days next preceding any
Interest Payment Date or any selection of such Bonds for redemption, nor shall it be required to
make any transfer or exchange of any Bonds of the Seventieth Series which shall have been
selected for redemption in whole or in part.
Unless and until the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a written order
to the contrary, the Bonds of the Seventieth Series shall bear a legend as to restrictions on
transfer substantially as set forth below:

Section 106 of the Original Mortgage, as amended, in respect of such Bonds, shall
assume the obligation (which shall be absolute and unconditional) to irrevocably deposit
with the Trustee such additional sums of money, if any, or additional government
obligations (meeting the requirements of Section 106), if any, or any combination
thereof, at such time or times, as shall be necessary, together with the money and/or
government obligations theretofore so deposited, to pay when due the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on such Bonds or portions thereof,
all in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 106; provided, however,

deposits as aforesaid shall be subject to the delivery to the Company by the Trustee of a
notice asserting the deficiency accompanied by an opinion of an independent accountant
showing the calculation thereof (which opinion shall be obtained at the expense of the
Company); or

any, or interest on any Bond of the Seventieth Series that is due on a date other than a Business

payment otherwise due at Maturity shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall
include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next
succeeding Business Day.

The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this bond payable at
Maturity shall be payable to the registered owner hereof upon presentation hereof at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or
currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and
private debts. The interest on this bond (other than interest payable at Maturity) shall be paid by
check, in the similar coin or currency, mailed to the registered owner hereof as of the close of
business on the seventh Business Day (as defined in the Sixty-ninth Supplemental Indenture
referred to below) preceding each Interest Payment Date (each such date being herein called a
"Record Date"); provided, however, that if such registered owner shall be a securities depositary,
such payment shall be made by such other means in lieu of check as shall be agreed upon by the
Company, the Trustee and such registered owner; and provided further that, so long as this Bond
shall be held by (a) the original purchaser hereof under the Bond Purchase Agreement (as
defined in such Sixty-ninth Supplemental Indenture) or (b) any other Institutional Investor (as
defined in such Supplemental Indenture) that (i) is the direct or indirect transferee of this bond
from such original purchaser and (ii) has made the same agreement relating to this bond as such
original purchaser made in Section 8.2 of the Bond Purchase Agreement, payment of principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond shall be payable in the manner specified in the
Bond Purchase Agreement. Interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the person to whom
principal shall be paid. As used herein, the term "Maturity" shall mean the date on which the
principal of this bond becomes due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption or
acceleration, or otherwise.
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one
of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, 6.18% Series due 2055, all bonds of all such
series being issued and issuable under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking or other
fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may
afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of
Trust, dated as of June 1, 1939 (the "Original Mortgage"), executed by the Company (formerly
known as The Washington Water Power Company) to City Bank Farmers Trust Company and
Ralph E. Morton, as Trustees (Citibank, N.A., successor Trustee to both said Trustees). The
Original Mortgage has been amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures,
including the Sixty-ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 1, 2025 (the "Sixty-ninth
Supplemental Indenture"), and, as so amended and supplemented, is herein called the
"Mortgage". Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the property mortgaged and
pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the
Trustee in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions
upon which the bonds are and are to be secured and the circumstances under which additional
bonds may be issued. If there shall be a conflict between the terms of this bond and the
provisions of the Mortgage, the provisions of the Mortgage shall control to the extent permitted
by law. The holder of this bond, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented
and agreed to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and, further, in the event that such
holder shall not be the sole beneficial owner of this bond, shall be deemed to have agreed to use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause all direct and indirect beneficial owners of this bond
to have knowledge of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and of this bond and to comply
therewith, including particularly, but without limitation, any provisions or restrictions in the
Mortgage regarding the transfer or exchange of such beneficial interests and any legend set forth
on this bond.
E-2
IM-#10765497.6
The Mortgage may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 60% in principal amount of the bonds outstanding under the Mortgage, considered as one
class, or, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be
affected, then such modification or alteration may be effected with the affirmative vote only of
60% in principal amount of the bonds outstanding of the series so to be affected, considered as
one class, and, furthermore, for limited purposes, the Mortgage may be modified or altered
without any consent or other action of holders of any series of bonds. No modification or
alteration shall, however, permit an extension of the Maturity of the principal of, or interest on,
this bond or a reduction in such principal or the rate of interest hereon or any other modification
in the terms of payment of such principal or interest or the creation of any lien equal or prior to
the lien of the Mortgage or deprive the holder of a lien on the mortgaged and pledged property
without the consent of the holder hereof. Each initial and subsequent holder of bonds of this
series, by virtue of its acquisition of an interest therein, shall be deemed, without further act, to
have consented to the prospective amendments to the Original Mortgage set forth or referred to
in the Sixty-ninth Supplemental Indenture.
The principal hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereon (but
without premium), may be declared or may become due prior to the Stated Maturity Date on the
conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Mortgage, upon the occurrence of a
Completed Default as in the Mortgage provided.
As provided in the Mortgage and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
this bond or any portion of the principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid if there
has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee moneys or direct obligations of or obligations
guaranteed by the United States of America, the principal of and interest on which when due, and
without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with moneys so
deposited, will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on this bond when due.
The Mortgage contains terms, provisions and conditions relating to the
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, and the conveyance or other transfer, or
lease, of assets to, another corporation and to the assumption by such other corporation, in certain
circumstances, of all of the obligations of the Company under the Mortgage and on the bonds
secured thereby.
In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, this bond is transferable by the
registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, upon surrender and
cancellation of this bond, together with a written instrument of transfer whenever required by the
Company duly executed by the registered owner or by its duly authorized attorney, and,
thereupon, a new fully registered bond of the same series for a like principal amount will be
issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Mortgage. The Company and the
Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes.
In the manner prescribed in the Mortgage, any bonds of this series, upon
surrender thereof for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
E-3
IM-#10765497.6
Manhattan, The City of New York, are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations.
Prior to the Par Call Date (as hereinafter defined), the bonds of this series shall be
redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon
notice mailed as provided in Section 52 of the Mortgage, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of
(a) 100% of the principal amount of the bonds being redeemed and
(b) (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments
of principal of and interest on the bonds being redeemed (assuming, for this purpose, that
the bonds of this series were stated to mature on the Par Call Date), discounted to the date
of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-
day months) at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield(as hereinafter defined)plus 50
basis points, less (ii) interest accrued to the redemption date,
plus, in the case of either (a) or (b) above, whichever is applicable, accrued and unpaid interest
on such bonds to the date of redemption.
On or after the Par Call Date, the bonds of this series shall be redeemable in
whole at any time, or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company, upon notice mailed
