Section 2.03 Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Authority by two Authorized Officers of the Authority. Each Authorized Officer of the Authority may execute or cause to be executed with a facsimile signature in lieu of a manual signature the Bonds, provided the signature of such Authorized Officer of the Authority shall, if required by applicable laws, be manually subscribed.

In case any officer of the Authority whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the authentication by the Trustee and delivery of such Bonds, such signature or such facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery; and any Bond may be signed on behalf of the Authority by such persons as, at the time of execution of such Bond, shall be the proper officers of the Authority, even though at the date of such Bond or of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such person was not such officer.

Section 2.04 Authentication of Bonds. Only such Bonds as shall have endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto duly executed by the Trustee shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Indenture. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Trustee, and such executed certificate of

authentication of the Trustee upon any such Bonds shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed with an authorized signature of the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same person sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder. This Section 2.04 is subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof.

Section 2.05 Bonds Not General Obligations. Neither Apache County, Arizona nor the State of Arizona shall in any event be liable for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, and neither the Bonds nor the premium, if any, or the interest thereon, shall be construed to constitute an indebtedness of Apache County, Arizona or the State of Arizona within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions whatsoever. The Bonds and the premium, if any, and the interest thereon shall be limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement and the other moneys pledged therefor under this Indenture, and such fact shall be plainly stated on each Bond.

Section 2.06 Prerequisites to Authentication of Bonds. The Authority shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver said Bonds to the initial purchasers thereof as may be directed hereinafter in this Section 2.06.

Prior to the delivery on original issuance by the Trustee of any authenticated Bonds there shall be or have been delivered to the Trustee:

(a) a duly certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Authority authorizing the execution and delivery of this Indenture and the Loan Agreement and the issuance of the Bonds;

(b) an original duly executed counterpart or a duly certified copy of the Loan Agreement;

(c) a request and authorization to the Trustee on behalf of the Authority, signed by any duly authorized officer of the Authority, to authenticate and deliver the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount determined by this Indenture to the purchaser or purchasers therein identified upon payment to the Trustee, but for the account of the Authority, of a sum specified in such request and authorization; and

(d) a written statement on behalf of the Company, executed by the President, any Vice President or the Treasurer, (i) approving the issuance and delivery of the Bonds and (ii) consenting to each and every provision of this Indenture.

Section 2.07 Lost or Destroyed Bonds or Bonds Canceled in Error. If any Bond, whether in temporary or definitive form, is lost (whether by reason of theft or otherwise), destroyed (whether by mutilation, damage, in whole or in part, or otherwise) or canceled in error, the Authority may execute and the Trustee may authenticate a new Bond of like date and denomination and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that (a) in the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Trustee and (b) in the case of any lost Bond or Bond destroyed in whole, there shall be first furnished to the Authority, the Trustee and the Company evidence of such loss or destruction. In every case, the applicant for a substitute Bond shall furnish the Authority, the Trustee and the Company such security or indemnity as may be required by any of them. In the event any lost or destroyed Bond or a Bond canceled in error shall have matured or is about to mature, or has been called for redemption, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the Trustee shall, if directed in writing by the Authority or the Company, pay the same without surrender thereof if there shall be first furnished to the Authority, the Trustee and the Company evidence of such loss, destruction or cancellation, together with indemnity, satisfactory to them. Upon the issuance of any substitute Bond, the Authority and the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The Trustee may charge the Owner of any such Bond with the Trustee’s reasonable fees and expenses in connection with any transaction described in this Section 2.07.

Every substitute Bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, destroyed or canceled in error shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Authority, whether or not the Bond so lost, destroyed or canceled shall be at any time enforceable, and shall be entitled to all

the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued hereunder. All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of lost, destroyed or improperly canceled Bonds, notwithstanding any law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

Section 2.08 Transfer, Registration and Exchange of Bonds. The Trustee shall maintain and keep, at its Principal Office, books for the registration and registration of transfer of Bonds, which, at all reasonable times, shall be open for inspection by the Authority and the Company; and, upon presentation for such purpose of any Bond entitled to registration or registration of transfer at the Principal Office of the Trustee, the Trustee shall register or register the transfer in such books, under such reasonable regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. The Trustee shall make all necessary provisions to permit the exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds at its Principal Office.

The transfer of any Bond shall be registered upon the registration books of the Trustee at the written request of the Owner thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender thereof at the Principal Office of the Trustee, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Owner or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the registration of transfer of any such Bond or Bonds, the Authority shall issue in the name of the transferee, in authorized denominations, a new Bond or Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount as the surrendered Bond or Bonds.

The Authority and the Trustee may deem and treat the Owner of any Bond as the absolute owner of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and, except as provided in Section 2.02 hereof, interest on, such Bond and for all other purposes, and neither the Authority nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any such Owner or upon his order shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

Bonds, upon surrender thereof at the Principal Office of the Trustee may, at the option of the Owner thereof, be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of any authorized denomination.

In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or registering the transfer of Bonds is exercised, the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. For every such exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds, whether temporary or definitive, the Authority or the Trustee may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or registration of transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or registration of transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or registration of transfer. The Trustee shall not be obligated (a) to make any such exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds during the fifteen (15) days next preceding the date on which notice of any proposed redemption of Bonds is given or (b) to make any exchange or registration of transfer of any Bonds called for redemption.

The Bonds are to be initially registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for the Depositary. Such Bonds shall not be transferable or exchangeable, nor shall any purported transfer be registered, except as follows:

(a) such Bonds may be transferred in whole, and appropriate registration of transfer effected, if such transfer is by such nominee to the Depositary, or by the Depositary to another nominee thereof, or by any nominee of the Depositary to any other nominee thereof, or by the Depositary or any nominee thereof to any successor securities depositary or any nominee thereof; and

(b) such Bond may be exchanged for definitive Bonds registered in the respective names of the beneficial holders thereof, and thereafter shall be transferable without restriction, if:

(i) the Depositary shall have notified the Company and the Trustee that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as securities depositary with respect to such Bonds and the Trustee shall not have been notified by the Company within ninety (90) days of the identity of a successor securities depositary with respect to such Bonds;

(ii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a written instrument to the effect that such Bonds shall be so exchangeable on and after a date specified therein; or

(iii)(1) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) the Trustee shall have given notice of such Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.19 hereof and (3) there shall have been delivered to the Authority, the Company and the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the interests of the beneficial owners of such Bonds in respect thereof will be materially impaired unless such owners become owners of definitive Bonds.

The Bonds delivered to the Depositary may contain a legend reflecting the foregoing restrictions on registration of transfer and exchange.

Section 2.09 Other Obligations. The Authority expressly reserves the right to issue, to the extent permitted by law, but shall not be obligated to issue, obligations under another indenture or indentures to provide additional funds to pay the cost of construction of the Facilities or to refund all or any principal amount of the Bonds, or any combination thereof.

Section 2.10 Temporary Bonds. Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds, the Authority may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Bonds. Temporary Bonds shall be issuable as registered Bonds without coupons, of any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Bonds but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Bonds, all as may be determined by the Authority. Temporary Bonds may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Authority and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Bonds. As promptly as practicable the Authority shall execute and shall furnish definitive Bonds and thereupon temporary Bonds may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds.

Section 2.11 Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds which shall have been surrendered to the Trustee for payment or redemption, and all Bonds which shall have been surrendered to the Trustee for exchange or registration of transfer, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Bonds delivered to or acquired by the Trustee for cancellation shall be canceled and disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures. The Trustee shall furnish to the Authority and the Company counterparts of certificates evidencing such cancellation and disposition and specifying such Bonds by number.

Section 2.12 Payment of Principal and Interest. For the payment of interest on the Bonds, the Authority shall cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund, on each interest payment date, solely out of the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement and other moneys pledged therefor, an amount sufficient to pay the interest to become due on such interest payment date. The obligation of the Authority to cause any such deposit to be made hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of moneys in the Bond Fund available on such interest payment date for the payment of interest on the Bonds.

For the payment of the principal of the Bonds upon maturity, the Authority shall cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund, on the stated or accelerated date of maturity, solely out of the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement and other moneys pledged therefor, an amount sufficient to pay the principal of the Bonds. The obligation of the Authority to cause any such deposit to be made hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of moneys in the Bond Fund available on the maturity date for the payment of the principal of the Bonds.

Section 2.13 Applicability of Book-Entry Provisions. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the provisions of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, dated February 17, 1998, between the Authority and The Depository Trust Company relating to the manner of and procedures for payment and redemption of Bonds and related matters shall apply so long as such Depositary shall be the Owner of all Outstanding Bonds and (b) the Authority and the Trustee may enter into a similar agreement, on terms satisfactory to the Company, with any subsequent Depositary and the provisions thereof shall apply so long as such Depositary shall be the Owner of all Outstanding Bonds.

ARTICLE III

REDEMPTION OF BONDS

Section 3.01 Redemption Provisions. (a) The Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Authority, at the direction of the Company, on any date on or after March 1, 2022 in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

(b) The Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Authority, at the direction of the Company, in whole at any time at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, if:

(i) the Company shall have determined that the continued operation of the Facilities or the Plant is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason;

(ii) all or substantially all of the Facilities or the Plant shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain; or

(iii) the operation of the Facilities or the Plant shall have been enjoined or shall have otherwise been prohibited by, or shall conflict with, any order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or of any federal, state or local regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body.

(c) The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption by the Authority, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on the 180th day (or such earlier date as may be designated by the Company) after a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or an administrative agency, to the effect that, as a result of a failure by the Company to perform or observe any covenant, agreement or representation contained in the Loan Agreement, the interest payable on the Bonds is included for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of the owners thereof, other than any owner of a Bond who is a “substantial user” of the Facilities or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code. No determination by any court or administrative agency shall be considered final for the purposes of this Section 3.01(c) unless the Company shall have been given timely notice of the proceeding which resulted in such determination and an opportunity to participate in such proceeding, either directly or through an owner of a Bond, and until the conclusion of any appellate review sought by any party to such proceeding or the expiration of the time for seeking such review. The Bonds shall be redeemed either in whole or in part in such principal amount that, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, the interest payable on the Bonds, including the Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption, would not be included in the gross income of any owner thereof, other than an owner of a Bond who is a “substantial user” of the Facilities or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code.

Section 3.02 Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. If less than all the Bonds shall be called for redemption under any provision of this Indenture permitting such partial redemption, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may deem proper, in the aggregate principal amount designated to the Trustee by the Company or otherwise as required by this Indenture; provided, however, that if, as indicated in a certificate of an Authorized Company Representative delivered to the Trustee, the Company shall have offered to purchase all Bonds then Outstanding and less than all such Bonds have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Trustee, at the direction of an Authorized Company Representative, shall select for redemption all such Bonds which shall not have been so tendered; and provided, further, that the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or some integral multiple thereof and that, in selecting Bonds for redemption, the Trustee shall treat each Bond as representing that number of Bonds which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the $5,000 units of principal amount represented by any such Bond is to be called for redemption, then, upon notice of intention to redeem such $5,000 unit or units, the Owner of such Bond shall forthwith surrender such Bond to the Trustee for (y) payment to such Owner of the redemption price (including the redemption premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption) of the $5,000 unit or units of

principal amount called for redemption and (z) delivery to such Owner of a new Bond or Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of any such Bond. Bonds representing the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of any such Bond shall be delivered to the Owner thereof, without charge therefor. If the Owner of any such Bond of a denomination greater than $5,000 shall fail to present such Bond to the Trustee for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption to the extent of the $5,000 unit or units of principal amount called for redemption (and to that extent only).

Section 3.03 Procedure for Redemption. (a) In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the Authority, of the redemption of such Bonds, which notice shall (i) specify the Bonds to be redeemed, the redemption date, the redemption price, and the place or places where amounts due upon such redemption will be payable (which shall be the Principal Office of the Trustee) and, if less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed, the numbers assigned to the Bonds to be redeemed, if any, and the portion of the principal amount of any Bond to be redeemed in part, (ii) state any condition to such redemption and (iii) state that on the redemption date, and upon the satisfaction of any such condition, the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall cease to bear interest. Such notice may set forth any additional information relating to such redemption. Such notice shall be given by Mail or Electronic Means at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Owners of the Bonds to be redeemed; provided, however, that failure duly to give such Notice by Mail or Electronic Means, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of Bonds as to which there shall have been no such failure or defect. If a notice of redemption shall be unconditional, or if the conditions of a conditional notice or redemption shall have been satisfied, then upon presentation and surrender of Bonds so called for redemption at the place or places of payment, such Bonds shall be redeemed. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company a copy of each such notice of redemption.

(b) With respect to any notice of redemption of Bonds in accordance with subsection (a) or (b) of Section 3.01 hereof, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of Article VIII hereof, such notice shall state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt, by the Trustee at or prior to the opening of business on the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Authority shall not be required to redeem such Bonds and such failure to redeem shall not constitute an event of default hereunder. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received or any other condition specified in the notice of redemption shall not have been met, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received.

(c) Any Bonds and portions of Bonds which have been duly selected for redemption shall cease to bear interest on the specified redemption date provided that moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds shall be on deposit with the Trustee on the date fixed for redemption so that such Bonds will be deemed to be paid in accordance with Article VIII hereof.

(d) Any notice of redemption delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(a) hereof may be revoked by the Company by written notice delivered to the Trustee by the Company on or prior to the date set for redemption date. In the event that a notice of redemption is so revoked by the Company, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the redemption shall not be made, such failure to redeem shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder and the Trustee shall, within a reasonable time thereafter, give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such notice of redemption was revoked by the Company

Section 3.04 Payment of Redemption Price. For the redemption of any of the Bonds, the Authority shall cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund, on the redemption date, solely out of the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement, an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest to become due on such redemption date. The obligation of the Authority to cause any such deposit to be made hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of moneys in the Bond Fund available on such redemption date for payment of the principal of and accrued interest on the Bonds to be redeemed.

Section 3.05 No Partial Redemption After Default. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default defined in clause (a) or (b) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 hereof, there shall be no redemption of less than all of the Bonds at the time Outstanding other than a partial redemption in connection with an offer by the Company to purchase all Bonds Outstanding as contemplated in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 3.02 hereof.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.01 Creation of Bond Fund. There is hereby created and established with the Trustee a trust fund in the name of the Authority to be designated “The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Apache Pollution Control Revenue Bonds, 2012 Series A (Tucson Electric Power Company Project) Bond Fund”. The Trustee shall establish and maintain within the Bond Fund such segregated subaccounts as may be requested in writing by an Authorized Company Representative. The Bond Fund, and all moneys and certificated securities therein, shall be kept in the possession of the Trustee.

(b) All income or other gain from the investment of moneys in the Bond Fund shall be retained therein.

Section 4.04 Use of Moneys in Bond Fund. Moneys, if any, paid into the Bond Fund pursuant to clause (i) of Section 4.03(a) hereof shall be applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.06, Section 9.01, Section 10.04 hereof, all other moneys in the Bond Fund constituting part of the Trust Estate shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise.

Section 4.05 Custody of Bond Fund; Withdrawal of Moneys. The Bond Fund shall be in the custody of the Trustee but in the name of the Authority and the Authority hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to withdraw from the Bond Fund funds constituting part of the Trust Estate sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable, and to withdraw from the Bond Fund funds sufficient to pay any other amounts payable therefrom as the same shall become due and payable.

Section 4.06 Bonds Not Presented for Payment. In the event any Bonds shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity or at the date fixed for redemption thereof or otherwise, if moneys sufficient to pay such Bonds are held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners thereof, the Trustee shall segregate and hold such moneys in trust, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owners of such Bonds, who shall, except as provided in the following paragraph, thereafter be restricted exclusively to such fund or funds for the satisfaction of any claim of whatever nature on their part under this Indenture or relating to said Bonds.

Any moneys which the Trustee shall segregate and hold in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond and remaining unclaimed for one (1) year after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company; provided, however, that before the Trustee shall be required to make any such repayment, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Company cause notice to be given by Mail or Electronic Means to the effect that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than

thirty (30) days from the date of such notice by Mail or Electronic Means, any unclaimed balance of such moneys then remaining will be paid to the Company. After the payment of such unclaimed moneys to the Company, the Owner of such Bond shall thereafter look only to the Company for the payment thereof, and all liability of the Authority and the Trustee with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

Section 4.07 Moneys Held in Trust. All moneys and Investment Securities held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund, and all moneys required to be deposited with or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Bond Fund, and all moneys withdrawn from the Bond Fund and held by the Trustee, shall be held by the Trustee, in trust, and such moneys and Investment Securities (other than moneys held pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof and moneys or Investment Securities held in the Rebate Fund established in furtherance of the obligations of the Company under clause (b) of Section 6.04 of the Loan Agreement), while so held or so required to be deposited or paid, shall constitute part of the Trust Estate and be subject to the lien and security interest created hereby in favor of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Bonds. The Company shall have no right, title or interest in the Bond Fund, except such rights as may arise after the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Authority under this Indenture shall have ceased, terminated and become void and shall have been satisfied and discharged in accordance with Article VIII hereof.

In addition, the Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Company, enter into (i) reverse repurchase agreements and option agreements with respect to any Investment Securities held by it and (ii) transactions for the purchase or sale of financial futures contracts in obligations which constitute Investment Securities or options on financial futures contracts in obligations which constitute Investment Securities. Subject to the further provisions of this Section 6.01, such investments shall be made by the Trustee as specifically directed and designated by the Company in a certificate of, or telephonic advice promptly confirmed by a certificate of, an Authorized Company Representative. As and when any amounts thus invested may be needed for disbursements from the Bond Fund, the Trustee shall request the Company to designate such investments to be sold or otherwise converted into cash to the credit of the Bond Fund as shall be sufficient to meet such disbursement requirements and shall then follow any directions in respect thereto of an Authorized Company Representative. As long as no Event of Default (as defined in Section 9.01 hereof) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall have the right to designate the investments to be sold and to otherwise direct the Trustee in the sale or conversion to cash of the investments made with the moneys in the Bond Fund, provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively assume the absence of any such Event of Default unless it has notice thereof within the meaning of Section 10.05 hereof.

The Authority shall, upon the reasonable request of the Trustee, from time to time execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may be reasonable and as may be required to carry out the purposes of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such instruments or actions shall pledge the credit or taxing power of the State of Arizona, Apache County, the Authority or any other political subdivision of said State.

the use of, the proceeds of any of the Bonds or any other funds of the Authority, or take or omit to take any other action, if and to the extent that such use, or the taking or omission to take such action, would cause any of the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or otherwise subject to federal income taxation by reason of failing to qualify under Section 103 of the 1954 Code and Title XIII of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as applicable, and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. To that end the Authority covenants to comply with all covenants set forth in the Tax Agreement, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth herein.

(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain a fund separate from any other fund established and maintained hereunder designated “The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Apache Pollution Control Revenue Bonds, 2012 Series A (Tucson Electric Power Company Project) Rebate Fund” (herein called the “Rebate Fund”) in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Agreement. Within the Rebate Fund, the Trustee shall maintain such accounts as shall be directed by the Company in order for the Authority and the Company to comply with the provisions of the Tax Agreement. Subject to the transfer provisions provided in paragraph (c) below, all money at any time deposited in the Rebate Fund shall be held by the Trustee in trust, to the extent required to satisfy the Rebate Requirement (as defined in the Tax Agreement), for payment to the United States of America, and neither the Company, the Authority or the Owners shall have any rights in or claim to such moneys. All amounts deposited into or on deposit in the Rebate Fund shall be governed by this Section 7.08, by Section 6.04 of the Loan Agreement and by the Tax Agreement. The Trustee shall conclusively be deemed to have complied with such provisions if it follows the directions of the Company, including supplying all necessary information in the manner set forth in the Tax Agreement, and shall not be required to take any actions thereunder in the absence of written directions from the Company.

(c) Upon receipt of the Company’s written instructions, the Trustee shall remit part or all of the balances in the Rebate Fund to the United States of America, as so directed. In addition, if the Company so directs, the Trustee shall deposit moneys into or transfer moneys out of the Rebate Fund from or into such accounts or funds as directed by the Company’s written directions. Any funds remaining in the Rebate Fund after all of the Bonds shall have been paid and any Rebate Requirement shall have been satisfied, or provision therefor reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made, shall be withdrawn and remitted to the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, the obligation to remit the Rebate Requirement to the United States of America and to comply with all other requirements of this Section 7.08, Section 6.04 of the Loan Agreement and the Tax Agreement shall survive the payment of the Bonds and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Defeasance. If the Authority shall pay or cause to be paid to the Owner of any Bond secured hereby the principal of and interest due and payable, and thereafter to become due and payable, upon such Bond or any portion of such Bond in the principal amount of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, such Bond or portion thereof shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Indenture. If the Authority shall pay or cause to be paid to the Owners of all the Bonds secured hereby the principal of and interest due and payable, and thereafter to become due and payable, thereon, and shall pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to Section 10.04 hereof, then, and in that case, the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void. In such event, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over to the Company the Trust Estate, including, without limitation, any surplus in the Bond Fund and any balance remaining in any other fund created under this Indenture.

All or any portion of Outstanding Bonds or portions of Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, shall prior to the maturity or redemption date thereof be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in this Article VIII, and the entire indebtedness of the Authority with respect thereof shall be satisfied and discharged, when

(a) in the event said Bonds or portions thereof have been selected for redemption in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof, the Trustee shall have given, or the Company shall have given to the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to give, on a date in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03 hereof, notice of redemption of such Bonds or portions thereof,

(b) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee either moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, or Government Obligations which shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption thereof at the option of the issuer, the principal of and the interest on which, when due, and without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with the moneys, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee, shall be sufficient, to pay when due the principal of and interest due and to become due on said Bonds or portions thereof on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and

(c) in the event said Bonds or portions thereof do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, the Company shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to give, as soon as practicable in the same manner as a notice of redemption is given pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof, a notice to the Owners of said Bonds or portions thereof that the deposit required by clause (b) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Article VIII and stating the maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the principal of and interest on said Bonds or portions thereof.

Neither the Government Obligations nor moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII nor principal or interest payments on any such Government Obligations shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and such Government Obligations, moneys and principal or interest payments shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and interest on said Bonds or portions thereof; provided, that any cash received from such principal or interest payments on such Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee, if not then needed for such purposes, shall, to the extent practicable, be invested in Government Obligations of the type described in clause (b) of the preceding paragraph maturing at times and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest to become due on said Bonds or portions thereof on and prior to such redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and interest earned from such reinvestments shall be paid over to the Company, as received by the Trustee, free and clear of any trust, lien or pledge hereunder. If payment of less than all the Bonds is to be provided for in the manner and with the effect provided in this Article VIII, the Trustee shall select such Bonds or portions of Bonds in the manner specified by Section 3.02 hereof for selection for redemption of less than all Bonds in the principal amount designated to the Trustee by the Company.

ARTICLE IX

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 9.01 Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute and is referred to in this Indenture as an “Event of Default”:

(a) a failure to pay the principal of any of the Bonds when the same shall become due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;

(b) a failure to pay an installment of interest on any of the Bonds after such interest shall have become due and payable for a period of thirty (30) days;

(c) a failure by the Authority to observe and perform any covenant, condition, agreement or provision (other than as specified in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 9.01) contained in the Bonds or in this Indenture on the part of the Authority to be observed or performed, which failure shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, shall have been given to the Authority and the Company by the Trustee, which may give such notice in its discretion and which shall give such notice at the written request of Owners of not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Bonds then

Outstanding, unless the Trustee, or the Trustee and Owners of a principal amount of Bonds not less than the principal amount of Bonds the Owners of which requested that such notice be given, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Owners of such principal amount of Bonds, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by the Authority, or the Company on behalf of the Authority, within such period and is being diligently pursued.

Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding paragraph, the Trustee may, and at the written request of Owners of not less than a majority of the principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding shall, by written notice to the Authority and the Company, declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall, without further action, become and be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Trustee shall give notice thereof by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph, however, are subject to the condition that if, after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared to be due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Authority shall cause to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Bonds and the principal of any and all Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than by reason of such declaration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds) and such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, and all Events of Default hereunder other than nonpayment of the principal of Bonds which shall have become due by said declaration shall have been remedied, then, in every such case, such Event of Default shall be deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission and annulment to the Authority and the Company, and, if notice of the acceleration of the Bonds shall have been given to the Owners of the Bonds, shall give notice thereof by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

Section 9.02 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, then and in every such case the Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request of Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction shall, in its own name and as the Trustee of an express trust:

(a) by mandamus, or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, enforce all rights of the Owners of the Bonds, and require the Authority or the Company to carry out any agreements with or for the benefit of such Owners and to perform its or their duties under the Act, the Loan Agreement and this Indenture;

(b) bring suit upon the Bonds; or

(c) by action or suit in equity enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Owners of the Bonds.

Section 9.03 Restoration to Former Position. In the event that any proceeding taken by the Trustee to enforce any right under this Indenture shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Authority, the Trustee and the Owners shall be restored, subject to any determination in such proceeding, to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 9.04 Owners’ Right to Direct Proceedings. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding hereunder shall have the right, by an instrument in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time, method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings available to the Trustee under this Indenture or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and that the Trustee shall have the right (but not the

obligation) to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Owners not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Owners.

Section 9.05 Limitation on Owners’ Right to Institute Proceedings. No Owner of Bonds shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the execution of any trust or power hereunder, or any other remedy hereunder or on said Bonds, unless such Owner previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default as hereinabove provided and unless the Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request of the Trustee so to do, after the right to institute said suit, action or proceeding shall have accrued, and shall have afforded the Trustee a reasonable opportunity to proceed to institute the same in either its or their name, and unless there also shall have been offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee shall not have complied with such request within a reasonable time; and such notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every such case, at the option of the Trustee, to be conditions precedent to the institution of said suit, action or proceeding; it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Owners of the Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of this Indenture, or to enforce any right hereunder or under the Bonds, except in the manner herein provided, and that all suits, actions and proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Owners of the Bonds.

Section 9.06 No Impairment of Right to Enforce Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the right of any Owner of a Bond to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Bond, on or after the respective due dates expressed therein, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Owner.

Section 9.07 Proceedings by Trustee without Possession of Bonds. All rights of action under this Indenture or under any of the Bonds secured hereby which are enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Bonds, or the production thereof on the trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such suit, action or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the equal and ratable benefit of the Owners of the Bonds, subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 9.08 No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Owners of the Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

Section 9.09 No Waiver of Remedies. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Owner of a Bond to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article IX to the Trustee and to the Owners of the Bonds, respectively, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

Section 9.10 Application of Moneys. Any moneys received by the Trustee, by any receiver or by any Owner of a Bond pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article IX, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of all amounts due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 10.04 hereof, shall be deposited in the Bond Fund and all moneys so deposited in the Bond Fund during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than moneys for the payment of Bonds which had matured or otherwise become payable prior to such Event of Default or for the payment of interest due prior to such Event of Default) shall be applied as follows:

(a) Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied (i) first, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds, with interest on overdue installments, if lawful, at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds, in the order of

maturity of the installments of such interest and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular installment of interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment, and (ii) second, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds called for redemption for the payment of which money is held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), with interest on such Bonds at their rate from the respective dates upon which they became due and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any particular date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal and interest due on such date, in each case to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege.

(b) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds, with interest on overdue interest and principal, as aforesaid, without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.

(c) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due and payable, and if acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds by reason of such Event of Default shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article IX, then, subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 9.10 which shall be applicable in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (a) of this Section 9.10.

Section 9.11 Severability of Remedies. It is the purpose and intention of this Article IX to provide rights and remedies to the Trustee and the Owners which may be lawfully granted under the provisions of the Act, but should any right or remedy herein granted be held to be unlawful, the Trustee and the Owners shall be entitled, as above set forth, to every other right and remedy provided in this Indenture and by law.

ARTICLE X

TRUSTEE

Section 10.01 Acceptance of Trusts. The Trustee hereby accepts and agrees to execute the trusts hereby created, but only upon the additional terms set forth in this Article X, to all of which the Authority agrees and the respective Owners agree by their acceptance of delivery of any of the Bonds.

Section 10.02 No Responsibility for Recitals. The recitals, statements and representations contained in this Indenture or in the Bonds, save only the Trustee’s authentication upon the Bonds, are not made by the Trustee, and the Trustee does not assume, and shall not have, any responsibility or obligation for the correctness of any thereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or the Bonds.

Section 10.03 Limitations on Liability. The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform the duties required of it hereunder by or through attorneys, agents, receivers, or employees, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and its duty hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for the default or misconduct of any such attorney, agent, receiver, or employee selected by it with reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any discretion or power under this Indenture or for anything whatsoever in connection with the trust created hereby, except only for its own negligence or willful misconduct.

Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall in no event be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 10.04 Compensation, Expenses and Advances. The Trustee under this Indenture shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services rendered hereunder (not limited by any provision of law regarding the

compensation of the trustee of an express trust) and to reimbursement for its actual out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) reasonably incurred in connection therewith except as a result of its negligence or willful misconduct, including, without limitation, compensation for any services rendered, and reimbursement for any expenses incurred, at and subsequent to the time the Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article VIII hereof. In Section 5.03 of the Loan Agreement, the Company has agreed that it will pay to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) such compensation and reimbursement of expenses and advances, but the Company may, without creating a default hereunder, contest in good faith the reasonableness of any such services, expenses and advances. If the Company shall have failed to make any payment to the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 5.03 of the Loan Agreement and such failure shall have resulted in an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Trustee, and any predecessor Trustee, shall have, in addition to any other rights hereunder, a claim, prior to the claim of the Owners, for the payment of its compensation and the reimbursement of its expenses and any advances made by it, as provided in this Section 10.04, upon the moneys and obligations in the Bond Fund; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor any predecessor Trustee shall have any such claim upon moneys or obligations deposited with or paid to the Trustee for the redemption or payment of Bonds which are deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article VIII hereof.

In Section 5.04 of the Loan Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee to the extent provided therein. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Section 10.05 Notice of Events of Default. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice, or be deemed to have notice, of any default or Event of Default under this Indenture other than an Event of Default under clause (a) or (b) of the first paragraph of Section 9.01 hereof, unless an officer assigned by the Trustee to administer its corporate trust business has been specifically notified in writing of such default or Event of Default by Owners of at least a majority of the principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. The Trustee may, however, at any time, in its discretion, require of the Authority and the Company full information and advice as to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein.

Section 10.06 Action by Trustee. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action in respect of any default or Event of Default hereunder or toward the execution or enforcement of any of the trusts hereby created, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding in connection therewith, unless requested in writing so to do by Owners of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, and, if in its opinion such action may tend to involve it in expense or liability, unless furnished, from time to time as often as it may require, with security and indemnity satisfactory to it. The foregoing provisions are intended only for the protection of the Trustee, and shall not affect any discretion or power given by any provisions of this Indenture to the Trustee to take action in respect of any default or Event of Default without such notice or request from the Owners of the Bonds, or without such security or indemnity.

Section 10.07 Good Faith Reliance. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any resolution, notice, telegram, e-mail, facsimile transmission, request, consent, waiver, certificate, statement, affidavit, voucher, bond, requisition or other paper or document which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been passed or signed by the proper board, body or person or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Loan Agreement, or upon the written opinion of any attorney, engineer, accountant or other expert believed by the Trustee to be qualified in relation to the subject matter, and the Trustee shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument, but may accept and conclusively rely upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statements. The Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as an Owner of a Bond or to take any action at his request unless the ownership of such Bond is proved as contemplated in Section 11.01 hereof.

Section 10.08 Dealings in Bonds and with the Authority and the Company. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may in good faith buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds issued hereunder, and may join in any action which any Owner of a Bond may be entitled to take with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder. The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Authority or the Company, and may act as depositary, trustee, or agent for any committee or body of Owners of Bonds secured hereby or other obligations of the Authority as freely as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder.

Section 10.09 Allowance of Interest. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, allow and credit interest upon any moneys which it may at any time receive under any of the provisions of this Indenture, at such rate, if any, as it customarily allows upon similar funds of similar size and under similar conditions. All interest allowed on any such moneys shall be credited as provided in Article IV with respect to interest on investments.

Section 10.10 Construction of Indenture. The Trustee may construe any of the provisions of this Indenture insofar as the same may appear to be ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provision hereof, and any construction of any such provisions hereof by the Trustee in good faith shall be binding upon the Owners of the Bonds.

Section 10.11 Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may resign and be discharged of the trusts created by this Indenture by executing an instrument in writing resigning such trust, and filing the same with an Authorized Officer of the Authority and with the Company, and by giving notice of such resignation by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Bonds. Such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of a successor Trustee.

So long as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Authority shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) an instrument appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified therein and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment, effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section 10.16 hereof, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been appointed pursuant to subsection (b) of Section 10.13 hereof and such appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section 10.16 hereof, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this Article X shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except to the extent inconsistent with this paragraph. The Authority shall deliver any such instrument of appointment at the direction of the Company.

Section 10.12 Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may be removed at any time by filing with the Trustee so removed, and with the Authority and the Company, an instrument or instruments in writing, appointing a successor, or an instrument or instruments in writing, consenting to the appointment by the Authority (at the direction of the Company) of a successor and accompanied by an instrument of appointment by the Authority (at the direction of the Company) of such successor, and in any event executed by Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, such filing to be made by any Owner of a Bond or his duly authorized attorney.

Section 10.13 Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) In case at any time the Trustee shall be removed, or be dissolved, or if its property or affairs shall be taken under the control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of insolvency or bankruptcy, or for any other reason, then a vacancy shall forthwith and ipso facto exist and a successor may be appointed, and in case at any time the Trustee shall resign or be deemed to have resigned, then a successor may be appointed, by filing with the Authority and the Company an instrument in writing appointing such successor Trustee executed by Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding. Copies of such instrument shall be promptly delivered by the Authority to the predecessor Trustee, to the Trustee so appointed and the Company.

(b) Until a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the Owners of the Bonds as herein authorized, the Authority, shall appoint a successor Trustee as directed by the Company. After any appointment by the Authority, it shall cause notice of such appointment to be given by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Bonds. Any new Trustee so appointed by the Authority shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a Trustee appointed by the Owners of the Bonds in the manner above provided.

(c) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article X shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee.

Section 10.14 Qualifications of Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee (a) shall be a bank, national banking association or trust company duly organized under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture and (b) shall have (or the parent holding company of which shall have) a combined capital stock, surplus and undivided profits of at least $100,000,000 if there can be located, with reasonable effort, such an institution willing and able to accept the trust on reasonable and customary terms.

In case at any time the Trustee shall resign and no appointment of a successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article X prior to the date specified in the notice of resignation as the date when such resignation is to take effect, the retiring Trustee may forthwith apply, at the expense of the Company, to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If no appointment of a successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article X within six (6) months after a vacancy shall have occurred in the office of Trustee, any Owner of a Bond may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.

Section 10.16 Acceptance of Trusts by Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Authority an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become duly vested with all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor in the trust hereunder, with like effect as if originally named Trustee herein. Upon request of such Trustee, such predecessor Trustee and the Authority shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, property, rights, powers and trusts hereunder of such predecessor Trustee and, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, such predecessor Trustee shall pay over to the successor Trustee all moneys and other assets at the time held by it hereunder.

Section 10.17 Successor by Merger or Consolidation. Any corporation or association into which any Trustee hereunder may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger or consolidation to which any Trustee hereunder shall be a party or any corporation or association succeeding to or acquiring all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor Trustee under this Indenture, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto, anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding.

If, at the time any such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Bonds shall have been authenticated but not delivered, such successor Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Bonds so authenticated; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article X, the Trustee shall, during the existence of an Event of Default of which the Trustee has actual notice, exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of skill and care in their exercise as a prudent person would use and exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

Section 10.19 Notice to Owners of Bonds of Event of Default. If an Event of Default occurs of which the Trustee by Section 10.05 hereof is required to take notice and deemed to have notice, or any other Event of Default occurs of which the Trustee has been specifically notified in accordance with Section 10.05 hereof, and any such Event of Default shall continue for at least two days after the Trustee acquires actual notice thereof, unless the Trustee shall have theretofore given a notice of acceleration pursuant to Section 9.01 hereof, the Trustee shall give Notice by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds.

Section 10.20 Intervention in Litigation of the Authority.

Any request, direction, consent or other instrument in writing, whether or not required or permitted by this Indenture to be signed or executed by Owners of the Bonds, may be in any number of concurrent instruments of similar tenor and may be signed or executed by Owners of the Bonds or by an agent appointed by an instrument in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the ownership of Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken by it under such instrument if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take acknowledgments within such jurisdiction, to the effect that the person signing such instrument acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution.

(b) The ownership or former ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the registration books kept under the provisions of Section 2.08 hereof.

Nothing contained in this Article XI shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to such proof, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of matters herein stated which it may deem sufficient. Any request or consent of any Owner of a Bond shall bind every future Owner of the same Bond or any Bond or Bonds issued in lieu thereof in respect of anything done by the Trustee or the Authority in pursuance of such request or consent.

Section 12.03 Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Owners. (a) Except for any Supplemental Indenture entered into pursuant to Section 12.02 hereof, subject to the terms and provisions contained in this Section 12.03 and Section 12.05 hereof and not otherwise, Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding which would be adversely affected thereby shall have the right from time to time to consent to and approve the execution and delivery by the Authority and the Trustee of any Supplemental Indenture deemed necessary or desirable by the Authority for the purposes of modifying, altering, amending, supplementing or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture; provided, however, that, unless approved in writing by the Owners of all the Bonds then Outstanding which would be adversely affected thereby, nothing herein contained shall permit, or be construed as permitting, (i) a change in the times, amounts or currency of payment of the principal of or interest on any Outstanding Bond, a reduction in the principal amount or redemption price of any Outstanding Bond or a change in the rate of interest thereon, or any impairment of the right of any Owner to institute suit for the payment of any Bond owned by it, or (ii) the creation of a claim or lien upon, or a pledge of, the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement ranking prior to or on a parity with the claim, lien or pledge created by this Indenture (except as referred to in Section 10.04 hereof), or (iii) a preference or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other Bond or Bonds, or (iv) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of Bonds the consent of the Owners of which is required for any such Supplemental Indenture or which is required, under Section 12.07 hereof, for any modification, alteration, amendment or supplement to the Loan Agreement.

(b) If at any time the Authority shall request the Trustee to enter into any Supplemental Indenture for any of the purposes of this Section 12.03, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed Supplemental Indenture to be given by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds. Such notice shall be prepared by the Company and shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed Supplemental Indenture and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the Principal Office of the Trustee for inspection by all Owners of Bonds.

(c) Within two (2) years after the date of the first mailing of such notice, the Authority and the Trustee may enter into such Supplemental Indenture in substantially the form described in such notice only if there shall have first been delivered to the Trustee (i) the required consents, in writing, of Owners of Bonds and (ii) an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Act, complies with their respective terms and, upon the execution and delivery thereof, will be valid and binding upon the Authority in accordance with its terms and will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds.

(d) If Owners of not less than the percentage of Bonds required by this Section 12.03 shall have consented to and approved the execution and delivery thereof as herein provided, no Owner shall have any right to object to the execution and delivery of such Supplemental Indenture, or to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution and delivery thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Authority or the Trustee from executing and delivering the same or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.

Section 12.04 Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the execution and delivery of any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article XII, this Indenture shall be, and be deemed to be, modified, altered, amended or supplemented in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Indenture of the Authority, the Trustee and Owners of all Bonds then Outstanding shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced under this Indenture subject in all respects to such modifications, alterations, amendments and supplements.

A revision of Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement shall not be deemed a Supplemental Loan Agreement for purposes of this Indenture.

Before the Authority shall enter into, and the Trustee shall consent to, any Supplemental Loan Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.06, there shall have been delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that such Supplemental Loan Agreement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Act, complies with their respective terms, will, upon the execution and delivery thereof, be valid and binding upon the Authority and the Company in accordance with its terms and will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes of interest on the Bonds.

Section 12.07 Amendment of Loan Agreement with Consent of Owners. Except in the case of a Supplemental Loan Agreement referred to in Section 12.06 hereof, the Authority shall not enter into, and the Trustee shall not consent to, any Supplemental Loan Agreement without the written approval or consent of the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding which would be adversely affected thereby, given and procured as provided in Section 12.03 hereof; provided, however, that, unless approved in writing by the Owners of all Bonds then Outstanding which would be adversely affected thereby, nothing herein contained shall permit, or be construed as permitting, a change in the obligations of the Company under Section 5.01 of the Loan Agreement. If at any time the Authority or the Company shall request the consent of the Trustee to any such proposed Supplemental Loan Agreement, the Trustee shall cause notice of such proposed Supplemental Loan Agreement to be given in the same manner as provided by Section 12.03 hereof with respect to Supplemental Indentures. Such notice shall be prepared by the Company and shall briefly set forth the nature of such proposed Supplemental Loan Agreement and shall state that copies of the instrument embodying the same are on file at the Principal Office of the Trustee for inspection by all Owners of the Bonds. The Authority may enter into, and the Trustee may consent to, any such proposed Supplemental Loan Agreement subject to the same conditions, and with the same effect, as provided by Section 12.03 hereof with respect to Supplemental Indentures.

Section 12.08 Company as Owner. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, for so long as the Company holds all of Outstanding Bonds, any action that may be taken by the Owners of the Bonds may be taken by the Company.

ARTICLE XIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.01 Successors of the Authority. In the event of the dissolution of the Authority, all the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture contained, by or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, the Authority, shall bind or inure to the benefit of the successors of the Authority from time to time and any entity, officer, board, commission, agency or instrumentality to whom or to which any power or duty of the Authority shall be transferred.

Section 13.02 Parties in Interest. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, nothing in this Indenture expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person, firm or corporation other than the Authority, the Company and the Trustee and their successors and assigns and the Owners of the Bonds any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture, this Indenture being intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Authority, the Company and the Trustee and their successors and assigns and the Owners of the Bonds.

Section 13.03 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Loan Agreement or of the Bonds shall, for any reason, be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions of this Indenture or of the Loan Agreement or of such Bonds, and this Indenture and the Loan Agreement and such Bonds shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provisions had not been contained herein or therein.

Section 13.04 No Personal Liability of Authority Officials. No covenant or agreement contained in the Bonds or in this Indenture shall be deemed to be the covenant or agreement of any director, official, officer, agent, or employee of the Authority in his individual capacity, and neither the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority nor any official executing the Bonds shall be liable personally on the Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.

Section 13.05 Bonds Owned by the Authority or the Company. In determining whether Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Bonds have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Bonds which are owned by the Authority or the Company or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company (unless the Authority, the Company or such person owns all Bonds which are then Outstanding, determined without regard to this Section 13.05) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Bonds which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Upon the request of the Trustee, the Company and the Authority shall furnish to the Trustee a certificate identifying all Bonds, if any, actually known to either of them to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and that all other Bonds are Outstanding for the purposes of such determination. Bonds so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Bonds and that the pledgee is not the Authority or the Company or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

Section 13.06 Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture.

Section 13.07 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Arizona shall govern the construction and enforcement of this Indenture and of all Bonds, except that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the construction and enforcement of the rights and duties of the Trustee hereunder and the construction of Section 13.09 hereof and the computation of any period of grace provided herein.

Principal Amount:		Dollars

The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Apache, an Arizona nonprofit corporation designated by law as a political subdivision of the State of Arizona (the “Authority”), for value received, hereby promises to pay (but only out of the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement, as hereinafter defined, and other moneys pledged therefor) to the Registered Owner identified above or registered assigns, on the Maturity Date set forth above, upon the presentation and surrender hereof, the Principal Amount set forth above and to pay (but only out of the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement and other moneys pledged therefor), interest on said Principal Amount until payment of said Principal Amount has been made or duly provided for, from the date hereof, at the Interest Rate set forth above, semi-annually on the first day of March and September in each year, commencing September 1, 2012. Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the hereinafter defined Indenture.

The principal of this Bond is payable at the principal office of U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee. Interest on this Bond is payable by check drawn upon the Trustee and mailed to the Registered Owner of this Bond as of the close of business on the Record Date at the registered address of such Registered Owner; notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request to the Trustee by a Registered Owner of not less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Bonds, interest on such Bonds and, after presentation and surrender of such Bonds, the principal thereof shall be paid to such Registered Owner by wire transfer to the account maintained within the continental United States specified by such Registered Owner or, if such Registered Owner maintains an account with the entity acting as Trustee, by deposit into such account. Payment of the principal of and interest on, this Bond shall be in any coin or currency of the United States of America as, at the respective times of payment, shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

This Bond is one of the duly authorized The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Apache Pollution Control Revenue Bonds, 2012 Series A (Tucson Electric Power Company Project) (the “Bonds”) of the Authority, aggregating One Hundred Seventy Seven Million Dollars ($177,000,000) in principal amount, issued under and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona, particularly Title 35, Chapter 5, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Act”), and the Indenture of Trust, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “Indenture”), between the Authority and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as trustee (together with any successor thereto, the “Trustee”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “Loan Agreement”), between the Authority and Tucson Electric Power Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Arizona (the “Company”), the proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned to the Company and will be applied to refinance a portion of the costs of the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the Facilities.

Neither Apache County, Arizona nor the State of Arizona shall in any event be liable for the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, and neither the Bonds, nor the premium, if any, or the interest thereon, shall be construed to constitute an indebtedness of Apache County, Arizona or the State of Arizona within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions whatsoever. The Bonds and the premium, if any, and the interest thereon are limited obligations of the Authority payable solely from the Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement and other moneys pledged therefor under the Indenture.

The Bonds are equally and ratably secured, to the extent provided in the Indenture, by the pledge thereunder of the “Receipts and Revenues of the Authority from the Loan Agreement”, which term is used herein as defined in the Indenture and which as therein defined means all moneys paid or payable to the Trustee for the account of the Authority by the Company in respect of the loan payments, including all receipts of the Trustee which, under the provisions of the Indenture, reduce the amounts of such payments. The Authority has also pledged and assigned to the Trustee as security for the Bonds all other rights and interests of the Authority under the Loan Agreement (other than its rights to indemnification and its administrative expenses and certain other rights).

The transfer of this Bond shall be registered upon the registration books kept at the principal office of the Trustee, at the written request of the Registered Owner hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender of this Bond at said office, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the Registered Owner or his duly authorized attorney.

In the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture, each of the Bonds may be redeemed prior to maturity, as follows:

(a) The Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Authority, at the direction of the Company, on any date on or after March 1, 2022 in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

(i) the Company shall have determined that the continued operation of the Facilities or the Plant is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason;

(ii) all or substantially all of the Facilities or the Plant shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain; or

(c) The Bonds shall be subject to mandatory redemption by the Authority, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on the 180th day (or such earlier date as may be designated by the Company) after a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction or an administrative agency, to the effect that, as a result of a failure by the Company to perform or observe any covenant, agreement or representation contained in the Loan Agreement, the interest payable on the Bonds is included for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of the owners thereof, other than any owner of a Bond who is a “substantial user” of the Facilities or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code. No determination by any court or administrative agency shall be considered final for the purposes of this paragraph (c) unless the Company shall have been given timely notice of the proceeding which resulted in such determination and an opportunity to participate in such proceeding, either directly or through an owner of a Bond, and until the conclusion of any appellate review sought by any party to such proceeding or the expiration of the time for seeking such review. The Bonds shall be redeemed either in whole or in part in such principal amount that, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, the interest payable on the Bonds, including the Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption, would not be included in the gross income of any owner thereof, other than an owner of a Bond who is a “substantial user” of the Facilities or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code.

If less than all of the Bonds at the time outstanding are to be called for redemption, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may deem proper, in the principal amounts designated to the Trustee by the Company or otherwise as required by the Indenture.

A-2

In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the Authority, of the redemption of such Bonds. Such notice shall be given by electronic means or by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first-class mail at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owners of the Bonds to be redeemed at the addresses shown on the registration books; provided, however, that failure duly to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of the Bonds as to which there shall be no such failure or defect.

With respect to any notice of redemption of Bonds in accordance with the redemption provisions lettered (a) or (b) above, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of the Indenture, such notice shall state that such redemption, shall be conditional upon the receipt, by the Trustee on or prior to the opening of business on the date fixed for such redemption of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no force and effect and the Authority shall not be required to redeem such Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received. Any notice of such redemption may also contain such other conditions as the Company shall specify and may be rescinded by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If a notice of redemption shall be unconditional, or if the conditions of a conditional notice of redemption shall have been satisfied, then upon presentation and surrender of Bonds so called for redemption at the place or places of payment, such Bonds shall be redeemed.

Any Bonds and portions of Bonds which have been duly selected for redemption shall cease to bear interest on the specified redemption date provided that moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Bonds shall be on deposit with the Trustee on the date fixed for redemption so that such Bonds will be deemed to be paid in accordance with the Indenture and such Bonds shall thereafter cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Indenture.

The Registered Owner of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture, or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.

With certain exceptions as provided therein, the Indenture and the Loan Agreement may be modified or amended only with the consent of the Registered Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds outstanding under the Indenture which would be adversely affected thereby.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, copies of which are on file with the Trustee, for the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority, the Company, the Trustee and the Registered Owners of the Bonds. The Registered Owner of this Bond, by the acceptance hereof, is deemed to have agreed and consented to the terms and provisions of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement.

Among other things, as provided in the Indenture 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 within the meaning and with the effect expressed in the Indenture, and the entire indebtedness of the Authority in respect thereof shall be satisfied and discharged, if there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, in trust, money in an amount which will be sufficient and/or Government Obligations, the principal of and interest on which, when due, without regard to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together with moneys deposited with or held by the Trustee, will be sufficient, to pay when due the principal of and interest on this Bond or such portion of the principal amount hereof when due.

A-3

Among other things, the Loan Agreement contains terms, provisions and conditions relating to the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, and the sale, transfer or other disposition of assets to, another Person, to the assumption by such other Person, in certain circumstances, of all of the obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and to the release and discharge of the Company, in certain circumstances, from such obligations.

The Authority and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Bond is overdue, and neither the Authority nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided that if the Company is the sole Owner of this Bond, the Authority and the Trustee may deem and treat the Company as the absolute owner for all purposes.

It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona to exist, to have happened and to have been performed, precedent to and in the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the issuance of this Bond, do exist, have happened and have been performed in regular and due form as required by law.

No covenant or agreement contained in this Bond or the Indenture shall be deemed to be a covenant or agreement of any official, officer, agent or employee of the Authority in his individual capacity, and neither the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority, nor any official executing this Bond, shall be liable personally on this Bond or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance or sale of this Bond.

This Bond shall not be entitled to any right or benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose, until this Bond shall have been authenticated by the execution by the Trustee of the certificate of authentication inscribed hereon.
