<PAGE>
DESCRIPTION OF THE BONDS
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of
the Bonds to which any Prospectus Supplement will relate. The particular terms
of the Bonds offered by any Prospectus Supplement will be described in such
Prospectus Supplement.
The Bonds will constitute one or more new series of the Company's First and
Refunding Mortgage Bonds issued under an Indenture dated November 1, 1935, as
supplemented and modified by eighty-four supplemental indentures and as to be
supplemented by one or more additional supplemental indentures to be entered
into in connection with each new series of Bonds. The Indenture and all such
supplemental indentures are collectively referred to as the Mortgage. The
Mortgage is an Exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
is a part. The Trustee under the Mortgage is The Chase Manhattan Bank (National
Association) (the Trustee). The Bonds may be transferred or exchanged at the
corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York City.
The statements herein concerning the Bonds and the Mortgage are merely
descriptive and do not purport to be complete. They are qualified in their
entirety by express reference to the cited Sections and Articles of the
Mortgage. Terms defined in the Mortgage are used herein as so defined.
INTEREST AND PAYMENT
The Bonds will bear interest from their issue date at the rate shown in the
Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, payable semi-annually on the interest
payment dates shown in said Prospectus Supplement. The Bonds will mature on the
date shown in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. Interest will be paid to
the persons in whose names the Bonds are registered at the close of business on
the 15th day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next
preceding the interest payment date, except for defaulted interest and except
for unmatured accrued interest on Bonds called for redemption on a date other
than an interest payment date. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on
the Bonds are payable at the office or agency of the Trustee in New York City.
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular
series of the Bonds offered thereby for the following terms of said series of
the Bonds: (i) its specific designation; (ii) the aggregate principal amount;
(iii) the date or dates on which said series will mature; (iv) the rate per
annum at which said series will bear interest; (v) if applicable, the date or
dates after which and the price or prices at which said series may, pursuant to
any optional or mandatory redemption provisions, be redeemed at the option of
the Company or of the holder thereof and the other terms and provisions of such
optional or mandatory redemption; and (vi) any other special terms.
SECURITY AND PRIORITY
The Bonds are to be secured, together with all other bonds now or hereafter
issued under the Mortgage, by a direct lien on all public utility property now
or hereafter owned by the Company but subject to the operation of the release
provisions (which in effect permit the disposition of all property in excess of
the amount used under the Mortgage). Prior lien debt on after-acquired property
may be extended or refunded under the same lien until property is certified
under the Mortgage, but not thereafter except upon consent of the holders of
60% in the amount of the bonds issued and outstanding under the Mortgage. (See
Sections 4.03 and 4.07.) There are excepted from the lien all cash, securities,
accounts receivable, agreements, leases, materials and supplies, automotive
equipment, timber, coal and other minerals under the mortgaged land, and
certain other assets. (See Preamble to the Indenture, Part VIII and Fourteenth
Supplemental Indenture, Part VI.) In case of a merger, consolidation or sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company, the lien may be limited to the
system of the Company at that time. (See Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 8.04.)
3
<PAGE>
The lien of the Mortgage is, subject to due recording and filing, a first
lien junior only to (i) statutory liens and equitable priorities for taxes,
services, materials and supplies and (ii) pre-existing liens on after-acquired
property.
Other than the security afforded by the lien of the Mortgage and described
under the "Description of the Bonds" herein, there are no provisions of the
Mortgage which afford holders of the Bonds protection in the event of a highly
leveraged transaction involving the Company. However, such a transaction would
require regulatory approval, and management of the Company believes such
approval would be unlikely in a transaction which would result in the Company
having a highly leveraged capital structure.
MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT FUND
The terms of the Twenty-Fifth Supplemental Indenture pursuant to which the
First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds, Series U were issued, obligate the Company
for so long as such bonds remain outstanding to pay the Trustee on April 1 of
each year through 1997 the amount, if any, by which 15% of total operating
revenues (less (i) the cost of electricity purchased for resale and (ii)
rentals paid by the Company for electric properties) from December 31, 1944, to
the close of the next preceding calendar year shall exceed the sum of the
following credits: (a) expenditures in such period for maintenance and repairs
or renewals and replacements and (b) certain miscellaneous credits, including
release moneys held by the Trustee at the close of such period and any cash and
bonds in the fund at the close of such period, except that, in lieu of paying
cash, the Company may use as an additional credit any net amount of additional
property or principal amount of retired bonds or refundable debt that the
Company has previously certified to the fund or that it may then certify from
the balance otherwise available for issuance of bonds. (See Issuance of Bonds
below.) No additional credit so used may subsequently be used for other
purposes under the Mortgage until replaced by an equal amount of other
permitted credits or cash or bonds. The obligation to the fund has been
satisfied in the past by the use of cash and additional credits, which credits
included the First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds of 1981, Series A, in the
aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which were redeemed at 100% of the
principal amount thereof with the cash proceeds of released property deposited
in the fund. Credits so used may be reinstated by the deposit of cash in the
fund in which event such cash may be applied to the redemption of certain
series of bonds as to which such a redemption is not prohibited. In addition,
cash or bonds in the fund may be withdrawn on the basis of credits later
certified or cash may be applied to the retirement of refundable debt. (See
Third Supplemental Indenture Section 3.01.) The First and Refunding Mortgage
Bonds, Series U mature in 1997, but such bonds are redeemable prior to their
maturity at the option of the Company.
MODIFICATION
With the consent of the holders of 75% in amount of all bonds issued and
outstanding under the Indenture (including at least 60% in amount of each
affected series), any default may be waived except for a default in the payment
of principal or interest at their due dates and the Mortgage may be changed in
any way except to extend the due dates of principal or interest or reduce the
amount of principal, interest or premium, if any. (See Section 7.24 and Article
14.)
ISSUANCE OF BONDS
Additional bonds of any series may be issued from time to time without limit
in aggregate amount, but not in excess of the amount authorized by the
Company's stockholder (presently $5 billion), on the following bases:
1. Up to 60% of the net amount of additional property certified under
Section 2.03 and subject to no senior lien except permitted liens and liens
securing refundable debt, but only if net earnings (in 12 consecutive
months within the 15 next previous months), after depreciation but before
income taxes, are at least twice the annual interest charges on all bonds
then outstanding or applied for and any indebtedness secured by senior
liens. But no more than 20% of total net earnings may be from non-operating
income, principally Allowance for Funds Used During Construction, and the
aggregate of maintenance and repairs and depreciation shall be not less
than 15% of total operating revenues (less
4
<PAGE>
(i) the cost of electricity purchased for resale and (ii) rentals paid by
the Company for electric properties) for such period. Refundable debt may
not exceed 60% of the property securing it or 15% of the bonds outstanding
or issuable and is deducted from the amount of bonds otherwise issuable.
(See Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.08, 2.09 and 4.16.)
2. Up to the amount of bonds or refundable debt retired (unless from
certain funds). (See Sections 2.02, 2.04, 2.05, 2.08 and 2.09.)
3. Up to the amount of cash deposited for the purpose, but only if net
earnings are as required in 1 above. The cash may be withdrawn in the
amount of the bonds issuable as shown in 1 and 2 above, without regard to
earnings. This is the only restriction on the disposition of proceeds of
additional bonds. (See Sections 2.02, 2.06 and 2.07.)
The Bonds will be issued on the basis set forth in 1 or 2 above.
RELEASE AND SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITY
Property may be released upon filing a Credit Certificate or upon depositing
cash in the amount of its value (which then may be withdrawn upon filing a
Credit Certificate). The Credit Certificate supplies evidence, between formal
certifications under Section 2.03, that credits previously established on the
basis of property acquisition or bonds or refundable debt retirement have not
been exhausted by showing that the retirements not yet certified are less than
the balance of such credits that would remain unused after the action then
sought (including in such credits the amount of additional property not
formally certified and the amount of release moneys, etc., then held by the
Trustee). Instead of cash, purchase money bonds or bonds of the United States
or any State or a political subdivision thereof may be deposited. Special
provisions are made for property and cash subject to senior liens and for
refundable debt held in pledge. (See Section 2.09(q), Article 5 and Article 6.)
DEFAULTS AND ACTION BY TRUSTEE
An event of default includes default in payment of principal of any series of
bonds issued under the Mortgage, continuous default for 90 days in payment of
interest on any series of such bonds (except that such default need only
continue for 30 days in the case of certain series), default for 90 days after
notice in the performance of any other covenant in the Mortgage and the
occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events. (See Section 7.01.) During an
event of default, the Trustee must use the same degree of care and skill as a
prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to that standard, a
majority in amount of bonds issued under the Mortgage is necessary to require
the Trustee to take action, and the Trustee is entitled first to be indemnified
to its satisfaction. (See Section 7.20 and Third Supplemental Indenture
Sections 7.02 and 7.03.) The Company is required to report annually to the
Trustee that it is not in default under the Indenture. (See Third Supplemental
Indenture Section 6.03.)
LISTING
The Bonds will not be listed on any national or regional securities exchange.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company may sell the Bonds (a) through underwriters or dealers, (b)
directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser or (c)
through agents. The Prospectus Supplement with respect to each series of the
Bonds will set forth the terms of the offering of such series, including the
name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents acting in connection with
the offering of said series, the initial public offering price or purchase
price from the Company, any terms or provisions for delayed delivery of such
Bonds, the proceeds to the Company, any discounts and other items constituting
underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation and discounts or concessions to
be allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. The initial public offering price
and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers with
respect to any series of the Bonds may be changed from time to time.
5
<PAGE>
If underwriters are used in the sale of any series of the Bonds, such series
will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold
from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed offering price determined at the time of sale. Such
series may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates
represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more
underwriters. Underwriters, if any, with respect to each series of the Bonds
will be named in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto and, if any
underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriters will be named on the
cover page of such Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in such
Prospectus Supplement, the obligations of underwriters to purchase any series
of the Bonds will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the
underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Bonds of such series if any
are purchased.
If any series of the Bonds is sold through one or more agents designated by
the Company from time to time, each agent involved in the offer or sale of such
series will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company to each such
agent will be set forth, in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto. Unless
otherwise indicated in such Prospectus Supplement, each such agent will be
acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
The Company may agree to indemnify the underwriters or agents named in a
Prospectus Supplement against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Bonds will be used to meet
a portion of the Company's capital requirements. Such requirements consist
principally of construction, upgrading and maintenance expenditures and
refunding of outstanding securities. Reference is made to the applicable
Prospectus Supplement for the use of the net proceeds from the sale of a
particular series of Bonds. Pending use by the Company, the net proceeds from
the sale of the Bonds will be invested by the Company.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
In the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are determined by adding
taxes on income and fixed charges to Net Income. Fixed charges consist of
interest charges (without reduction for Allowance for Funds Used During
Construction) on long-term and short-term debt, and such portion of rentals as
is representative of the interest factor. These earnings are then divided by
total fixed charges.
