The Company does further covenant and agree with the Trustee as follows:

ARTICLE I

SERIES ZZZ BONDS

Section 1: There is hereby created, for issuance under the Original Indenture as supplemented by the said Supplemental Indentures (including this Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture), a series of bonds designated Series ZZZ, due 2053, each of which shall bear the descriptive title “First Mortgage Bonds, Series ZZZ, due 2053” (herein sometimes referred to as “Series ZZZ Bonds”), and the form thereof shall contain suitable provisions with respect to the matters hereinafter in this Section specified. The Series ZZZ Bonds shall mature on April 1, 2053 and shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof as the Company may from time to time execute and deliver. The Series ZZZ Bonds shall bear interest at the rate and from the date, shall mature as to principal, and shall be payable as to principal and premium, if any, and interest at such place or places and in such money, all as provided in the form of Series ZZZ Bond set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Form of Bond”) and by the applicable provisions of the Indenture. In addition, March 10, 2023 shall be an interest payment date for the Series ZZZ Bonds for purposes of Section 9 of Article II of the Indenture, provided that no interest shall be payable on such date. The principal and premium, if any, and interest on the Series ZZZ Bonds shall be payable at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose (initially the corporate trust office of the Trustee) in the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California and, if Series ZZZ Bonds are issued in definitive certificated form under the circumstances set forth in clause (2) of Section 4 of this Article I, at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York. The Series ZZZ Bonds shall be dated as in Section 9 of Article II of the Indenture provided with respect to registered bonds without coupons.

The Series ZZZ Bonds shall further be redeemable, exchangeable, transferable and otherwise have the terms set forth in the Form of Bond.

The Series ZZZ Bonds shall otherwise be of such terms, provisions, tenor and form as provided in this Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture.

Section 2: The Series ZZZ Bonds shall be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions and shall be entitled to the protection and security of the Original Indenture, as supplemented by this Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture and the other supplemental indentures, and shall be subject to all of the terms, conditions and covenants and limitations thereof. The aggregate principal amount of the Series ZZZ Bonds, which may be executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and secured by the Indenture as from time to time in effect, is limited to the extent provided in Section 1 of Article II of the Original Indenture. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale on the date hereof of $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Series ZZZ Bonds. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the registered holders of the Series ZZZ Bonds but upon and subject to the terms and provisions of the Indenture, increase the principal amount of the Series ZZZ Bonds under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount, or any portion thereof. Any additional Series ZZZ Bonds so issued shall have the same form and terms (other than offering price, the date of original issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon shall begin to accrue and the

 

11


first Interest Payment Date (as defined below)) as the Series ZZZ Bonds previously issued and shall form a single series of bonds under the Indenture with the previously issued Series ZZZ Bonds.

Section 3: The Series ZZZ Bonds shall be issued only as fully registered bonds without coupons. The fully registered bonds without coupons and the certificate of authentication to be endorsed on all Series ZZZ Bonds shall be substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Bond. In addition, the Series ZZZ Bonds may be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more securities that evidence all or part of the bonds of such series and are registered in the name of a depositary (as defined below) or a nominee thereof for such series (each, a “Global Security”) and, in such case, the Board of Directors of the Company (or an authorized officer designated by the Board of Directors of the Company) shall appoint a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designated to act as depositary (a “depositary”) for such Global Securities; the initial depositary so appointed is The Depository Trust Company. The definitive Series ZZZ Bonds shall be numbered in such manner as the Company shall at any time or from time to time determine.

Section 4: In the event Series ZZZ Bonds are issued as Global Securities the following provisions, in addition to the provisions of the Indenture, shall apply:

(1) Each Global Security authenticated under the Indenture shall be registered in the name of the depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Series ZZZ Bond for all purposes of this Supplemental Indenture.

(2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Supplemental Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Series ZZZ Bonds registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such depositary has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Security or Global Securities, as the case may be, representing the Series ZZZ Bonds and a successor depositary has not been appointed by the Company within 90 days of receipt by the Company of such notification, (B) if at any time the depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when the depositary is required to be so registered to act as such depositary and no successor depositary shall have been appointed by the Company within 90 days after it became aware of the depositary’s ceasing to be so registered, (C) the Company, in its sole discretion, executes and delivers to the Trustee a written order signed in the name of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its President or a Vice President, and by its Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary to the effect that the Global Securities of such series shall be exchangeable as described below, or (D) a “completed default” (as defined in the Indenture) has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Series ZZZ Bonds. If any of the events described in clauses (A) through (D) of the preceding sentence occur, the beneficial owners of interests in such Global Securities will be entitled to exchange those interests for definitive Series ZZZ Bonds and, without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which those interests may be so exchanged, the Company will prepare and deliver to the Trustee definitive Series ZZZ Bonds in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to the Indenture, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Securities, such bonds to be duly executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such beneficial interests may be so exchanged, such Global Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the depositary as shall be specified in the order from the Company with respect thereto (which the Company agrees to deliver) to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, and in accordance with any instructions given to the Trustee and the depositary by the Company (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by an officers’ certificate or be accompanied by an opinion of counsel), to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Series ZZZ Bonds as described above without charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of each surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Series ZZZ Bonds of authorized denominations as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such depositary or its custodian. If a definitive Series ZZZ Bond is issued in exchange for any portion of a Global Security after the close of business at the place where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any regular record date for a regularly scheduled interest payment date (an “Interest Payment Date”) for such bond and before the opening of business at that place of exchange on such Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any special record date for the payment of interest for such bond which was not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) and before the opening of business at such place of exchange on the

 

12


related proposed date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such definitive bond, but shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Series ZZZ Bonds.

(3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange or transfer of a Global Security for other Series ZZZ Bonds may be made in whole or in part, and all definitive Series ZZZ Bonds issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the depositary for such Global Security shall direct.

(4) Every Series ZZZ Bond authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such bond is registered in the name of a person other than the depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.

(5) Every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER OF THIS SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN SUCH DEPOSITARY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF, EXCEPT IN THE LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE. ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY OTHER PERSON IS WRONGFUL, INASMUCH AS THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

Section 5: The Series ZZZ Bonds may contain or have imprinted thereon such provisions or specifications not inconsistent with the Indenture as may be required to comply with the rules of any stock exchange or any federal or state authority or commission, or to comply with usage with respect thereto, and may bear such other appropriate endorsements or notations as are authorized or permitted by the Indenture.

Section 6: In the manner and subject to certain conditions and limitations specified herein and in the Indenture, Series ZZZ Bonds may be exchanged without a service charge for a like aggregate principal amount of such Series ZZZ Bonds of other authorized denomination or denominations; provided that the Company may require payment of a sum or sums sufficient to reimburse it for any stamp tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

Section 7: The Company shall maintain in the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California, and in such other place or places as the Company may designate at any time or from time to time, an office or agency where Series ZZZ Bonds, including Series ZZZ Bonds issued in definitive certificated form, may be presented for payment, registration, transfer and exchange as provided therein or in the Indenture. Without limitation to the foregoing, if Series ZZZ Bonds are issued in definitive certificated form under the circumstances set forth in clause (2) of Section 4 of this Article I, the Company shall also maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York, an office or agency where Series ZZZ Bonds, including Series ZZZ Bonds issued in definitive certificated form, may be presented for payment, registration, transfer and exchange as provided therein or in the Indenture. Such office or agency in the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California, and any such office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York, shall be a corporate trust office of the Trustee unless and until the Company shall designate another office or agency by notice in writing delivered to the Trustee.

Section 8: No transfer or exchange of any Series ZZZ Bonds pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article I shall be made except upon and in accordance with all of the applicable terms, provisions and conditions of said bonds and of the Indenture.

[REVERSE SIDE OF 5.350% FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, SERIES ZZZ, DUE 2053]

This bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Company, known as its First Mortgage Bonds, of the series and designation indicated on the face hereof (the “Series ZZZ Bonds”), all issued and to be issued under and equally secured by a Mortgage and Deed of Trust dated July 1, 1940, and indentures supplemental thereto, including the Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the “Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture”) dated as of March 10, 2023 (which Mortgage and Deed of Trust, as so amended and supplemented and as the same may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, is herein called the “Indenture”), executed by the Company to U.S. Bank National Association, as successor trustee (herein called, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Trustee”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged, pledged, hypothecated and in which a security interest was granted, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the Series ZZZ Bonds as to such security, and the terms and conditions upon which the Series ZZZ Bonds may be issued under the Indenture and are secured. The principal hereof may be declared or may become due on the conditions, in the manner and at the time set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a completed default (as defined in the Indenture) as in the Indenture provided. This Series ZZZ Bond is one of a series of Series ZZZ Bonds and is sometimes referred to as “this bond.”

Interest on the Series ZZZ Bonds will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

With the consent of the Company and to the extent permitted by and as provided in the Indenture, the rights and obligations of the Company or of the holders of the Series ZZZ Bonds, or the terms and provisions of the Indenture or of any indentures supplemental thereto, may be modified or altered by the affirmative vote of the holders of the percentage of principal amount of bonds required by the Indenture; provided, however, that without the consent of the holder hereof no such modification or alteration shall permit, among other things, the reduction of the principal or premium, if any, or the extension of the maturity of the principal of this bond, or the reduction of the rate of interest hereon, or any other modification of the terms of payment of such principal or premium, if any, or interest.

The Company, the Trustee, any paying agent, any registrar, and any depositary may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest hereon and for all other purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Prior to October 1, 2052 (the “Par Call Date”), the Company may redeem the Series ZZZ Bonds at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

(1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Series ZZZ Bonds matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 25 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the Series ZZZ Bonds to be redeemed,

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

On and after the Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the Series ZZZ Bonds at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series ZZZ Bonds being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Series ZZZ Bonds that are due and payable on any Interest Payment Date falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on that Interest Payment Date to the registered holders thereof as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the terms of the Series ZZZ Bonds and the Indenture.

 

A-3


Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, before the redemption date to each registered holder of the Series ZZZ Bonds to be redeemed. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Series ZZZ Bonds called for redemption will become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided that the Company may rescind any notice of redemption by notice given not less than five days prior to the proposed redemption date. Redemption will not be conditional upon receipt by the Trustee of monies sufficient to pay the redemption price.

Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the Series ZZZ Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption. The Company will pay the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid interest once the Series ZZZ Bonds are surrendered for redemption.

In the event that the Company elects to redeem only a portion of the outstanding Series ZZZ Bonds on any redemption date, (a) the Series ZZZ Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected as provided in the Indenture and, in the case of Series ZZZ Bonds represented by a Global Security (as defined in the Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture), in accordance with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (or its successor as depositary for the Series ZZZ Bonds), (b) in the case of any Series ZZZ Bond being redeemed in part, the principal amount redeemed must be $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 and the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of such Series ZZZ Bond must be an authorized denomination, and (c) the Trustee will deliver without charge one or more new Series ZZZ Bonds in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Series ZZZ Bonds surrendered for redemption.

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day (as defined below) preceding the redemption date based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall select, as applicable: (1) 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 (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date. As used in this paragraph and the immediately succeeding paragraph, the term “business day” means any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banking institutions in The City of New York are not authorized or obligated by law or executive order to remain closed.

If on the third business day preceding the redemption date H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on 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 such redemption date of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury 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 Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United

 

A-4


States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of 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, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Company will notify the Trustee of the redemption price promptly after the calculation thereof and the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation with respect to calculation of the redemption price.

As more fully provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company will redeem the Series ZZZ Bonds in the event of the sale, release, taking by eminent domain or purchase by public authority of property constituting or including all or substantially all of the electric distribution system of the Company in the City of San Diego, all as more fully provided in the second paragraph of Section 13 of Article XI of the Indenture, in which event the Company will redeem Series ZZZ Bonds (in the principal amount determined pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 13 of Article XI of the Indenture) at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series ZZZ Bonds being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Series ZZZ Bonds being redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

This bond is transferable as prescribed in the Indenture by the registered owner hereof in person, or by his duly authorized attorney, at the office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose (initially the corporate trust office of the Trustee) in the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California, and, if Series ZZZ Bonds are issued in definitive certificated form under the circumstances set forth in clause (2) of Section 4 of Article I of the Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture, at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York, upon surrender and cancellation of this bond and thereupon a new registered bond or bonds of the same series of authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor as provided in the Indenture, upon payment of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid by the Company by reason of such transfer.

The registered owner of any Series ZZZ Bond, at the option of such holder, may surrender the same, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form approved by the Company duly executed by the registered owner, at the office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose (initially the corporate trust office of the Trustee) in the City and County of Los Angeles, State of California and, if Series ZZZ Bonds are issued in definitive certificated form under the circumstances set forth in clause (2) of Section 4 of Article I of the Seventy-Fourth Supplemental Indenture, at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City and County of New York, State of New York, for cancellation in exchange for another or other registered bonds of the said series of higher or lower authorized denominations of an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the bond or bonds so surrendered and bearing interest as provided in Section 9 of Article II of the Indenture, and upon payment of any tax or taxes or other governmental charges required to be paid by the Company by reason of such exchange and subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture, and thereupon the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such other bonds to such registered owner at its office or at such office or agency of the Company, at the option of such registered owner.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or the interest on this bond, or any part thereof, or of any claim based hereon or in respect hereof or of said Indenture, against any incorporator, or any past or future stockholder, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company, or through any such predecessor or successor corporation, or through any receiver or a trustee in bankruptcy, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released, as more fully provided in the Indenture.

In any case where any Interest Payment Date, any redemption date or the final maturity date of the Series ZZZ Bonds shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment (as those terms are defined in the next sentence), then payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest due on such Interest Payment Date, redemption date or

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to

the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Bonds.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of California and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Bonds have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and are the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

Our opinion is subject to: (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights or remedies of creditors; (ii) the effects of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith, fair dealing and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions for the indemnification or exculpation of, or contribution to, a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification, exculpation or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion with respect to (a) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief; (b) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (c) waivers of rights or defenses contained in Article XII, Section 12 of the Indenture; and waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (d) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (e) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (f) provisions for the payment of attorneys’ fees where such payment is contrary to law or public policy and we call to your attention the provisions of Sections 1717 and 1717.5 of the California Civil Code, which limit and create obligations for the payment of attorneys’ fees; (g) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any agreement, right or property, or the effect thereon of California Civil Code Section 711; (h) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, prepayment or make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty; (i) provisions permitting, upon acceleration of any indebtedness (including the Bonds), collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon; and (j) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect. We do not render any opinion herein with respect to the creation, validity, perfection or priority of any security interest.

With your consent, except to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Company herein we have assumed (a) that the Indenture and the Bonds (collectively, the “Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto, (b) that the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K dated March 10, 2023 and to the reference to our firm contained in the prospectus for the offering of the Bonds 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 Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
