EXHIBIT A
(to Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture)

 
Loan and Trust Agreement dated as of December 1, 2010 (the “Loan Agreement”), among VEDA, the Company, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “VEDA Trustee”).  The Company shall make payments of principal, or principal plus premium, and payment of interest equal to the payments required to be made on the VEDA Bonds.
 
Whenever any VEDA Bonds are redeemed in whole or in part, a corresponding principal amount of bonds of this series shall be automatically redeemed upon notice from the VEDA Trustee of the redemption of the VEDA Bonds.  The VEDA Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as follows:

The VEDA Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity, as a whole or in part at any time, at their principal amounts, without premium, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, from excess moneys in the Project Fund established under and as defined in the Loan Agreement or, at the option of the Company, in the event of substantial loss to the Project, as defined in the Loan Agreement, from insurance or condemnation award proceeds allocable to the VEDA Bonds pursuant to the special redemption provisions in the Loan Agreement.

The Company may purchase VEDA Bonds and credit them against the principal payment by delivering them to the VEDA Trustee for cancellation at least sixty (60) days before the principal payment date.

The Company shall be entitled to receive a credit against its obligation to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, as the case may be, the Bonds of this series in an amount equal to (1) the principal amount of any VEDA Bonds secured by the Bonds of this series surrendered to the VEDA Trustee by the Company or VEDA for cancellation, (2) the amount of money, if any, other than amounts payable by the Company under the Bonds of this series, held by the VEDA Trustee and available and designated to make the corresponding interest payment on the VEDA Bonds, and (3) the principal amount of any VEDA Bonds secured by the Bonds of this series purchased or redeemed and canceled by the VEDA Trustee with moneys other than amounts payable by the Company under the Bonds of this series to the extent that the VEDA Trustee shall not have received written notice from the Company that the Company shall not receive such a credit.  The VEDA Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing when any such credits arise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligation of the Company to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds of this series shall be fully or partially satisfied and discharged, and the amount of any such payments shall be reduced, to the extent that the Company shall have made the payment, in full or in part, of principal, premium, if any, and interest then due on the VEDA Bonds, and the Trustee shall not have received written notice from the Company that the obligation of the Company shall not be so satisfied and discharged and the amount of any such payment so reduced.

If this bond or any portion thereof (Five Thousand Dollars or a multiple thereof) is called for redemption and payment duly provided for as specified in the Indenture, this bond or such portion thereof, as the case may be, shall cease to be entitled to the lien of the Indenture from and 
 
 
A-2

 
after the date payment is so provided for and shall cease to bear interest from and after the redemption date.
In the event of the redemption of a portion only of the principal of this bond, payment of the redemption price will be made at the option of the registered holder, either (a) upon presentation of this bond for notation hereon of such payment of the portion of the principal of this bond so called for redemption, or (b) upon surrender of this bond in exchange for a registered bond or bonds (but only of authorized denominations of the same series) for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of this bond.

This bond is transferable by the registered holder hereof in person or by its duly authorized attorney, on books of the Company kept for the purpose at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee upon surrender of this bond for cancellation and thereupon a new registered bond of the same series of like principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.
 
The registered holder of this bond at its option may surrender the same for cancellation at said office and receive in exchange therefor the same aggregate principal amount of registered bonds of the same series but of other authorized denominations subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

If a default as defined in the Indenture shall occur, the principal of this bond may become or be declared due and payable before maturity in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. The holders, however, of specified percentages in principal amount of the bonds at the time outstanding, to the extent and as provided in the Indenture, may waive certain defaults thereunder and the consequences of such defaults.
 
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the premium, if any, or the interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, director or officer, past, present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor corporation, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders, directors and officers, as such, being waived and released by the registered holder hereof by the acceptance of this bond and as provided in the Indenture.

The Company and the Trustee, any paying agent and any bond registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is registered, or his registered assigns, as the absolute owner hereof, whether or not this bond shall be overdue, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any bond registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
 
In Witness Whereof, Central Vermont Public Service Corpo­ration has caused this Bond to be executed in its name by the manual or facsimile signature of its President or one of its Senior Vice-Presidents, and its corporate seal (or a facsimile thereof) to be hereto affixed and
