such defaulted interest shall be paid to the Owners in whose name such Bond (or any Bond or Bonds
issued upon any exchange or registration of transfer thereof) is registered as of the close of
business on a date selected by the Trustee in its discretion, but not more than fifteen (15) days
or less than ten (10) days prior to the date of payment of such defaulted interest; notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon request to the Trustee by an Owner of not less than $1,000,000 in aggregate

payment, shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

authentication to be printed on the Bonds are to be in substantially the forms thereof set forth in
Exhibits A, B and C hereto, respectively, with necessary or appropriate variations, omissions
and insertions as permitted or required by this Indenture.
Section 2.03 Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Authority by
the President or a Vice President of the Authority and shall be attested by the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Authority. Each of the foregoing officers may execute or cause to be
executed with a facsimile signature in lieu of a manual signature the Bonds, provided the signature
of either the President or a Vice President of the Authority or the Secretary or Assistant
Secretary 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.
9
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 Trustees 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 Pima 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 Pima 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
(b) 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.
10
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 may, in its discretion, 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 Trustees 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.
11
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
12
(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 destroyed by
the Trustee. The Trustee shall furnish to the Authority and the Company counterparts of
certificates evidencing such cancellation and destruction 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.
13
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 26, 1996, 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, as
applicable, 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 October 1, 2020 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 is
impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason;
(ii) all or substantially all of the Facilities shall have been condemned or taken by
eminent domain; or
(iii) the operation of the Facilities 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
14
is a substantial user of
the Facilities or a related person within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the 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 147(a) of the Code.
(d) In the event that the aggregate of the amounts deposited pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof
into the Bond Fund, together with any income or other gain from the investment thereof, shall at
any time, or from time to time, be equal to or greater than $5,000, but only to the extent that
such amounts are required under Section 4.04(b) hereof to be applied to the redemption of Bonds,
the Authority shall redeem Bonds, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the
redemption date, in the largest aggregate principal amount which does not exceed the amount
of such deposit or deposits, together with such income or gain, on the next interest payment
date on which a redemption may be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(a) or
Section 3.03(b) hereof and on which Bonds, in such amount, are otherwise redeemable at the
principal amount thereof under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.01.
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).
15
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 twenty (20) 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 not less than two (2)
business days prior to the redemption date.
16
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 4.04 Use of Moneys in Bond Fund.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.06, Section 9.01 and Section 10.04, all moneys

an Authorized Company Representative, or to the redemption, at the direction of the Company, of
Bonds pursuant to subsection (a) or, if applicable, (b) or (d) of Section 3.01 hereof or (B) in any
other manner directed by an Authorized Company Representative which, as indicated in an opinion of
Bond Counsel furnished by the Company to the Authority and the Trustee, will not, in and of itself,
impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds or the exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from
gross income for federal income tax purposes, or, in the absence of any such purchase, redemption
or direction on or prior to the forty-fifth (45th) day prior to the first interest payment date
specified in Section 3.01(d) hereof, (ii) to the payment of principal upon the redemption, from
time to time, of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01(d) hereof, any moneys which are not so applied to
be retained and applied by the Trustee to the payment of principal of Bonds either at maturity or
upon the redemption of all or any portion of the Bonds, whichever occurs first. Pending the
application of moneys deposited into the Bond Fund pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, such moneys may
be invested in Investment Securities in the manner permitted by Section 6.01 hereof and in
accordance with the provisions of the Tax Agreement.
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

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.
18
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.

are so paid, redeemed or deemed to have been paid; provided, however, that if Bonds shall have been
paid, redeemed or deemed to have been paid within the meaning of ARTICLE VIII hereof by reason of
the application of the proceeds of the sale of more than one issue of obligations the interest on
which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under indentures other than
this Indenture, the Trustee shall, if directed by an Authorized Company Representative, withdraw
all amounts remaining in the Construction Fund and such amounts shall be allocated among, and

within its control), permit the use of, the proceeds of any of the Bonds or any other funds of the

accordance with Section 3.02 hereof, the Trustee shall have given, or the Company shall have

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
25
(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

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.

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;
26
(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.

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.

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

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.
29
(b) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due and payable, all such

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 Trustees 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.
30
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) 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.
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.
31
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 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 and ARTICLE V 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.
32
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 specifying
the date when such resignation shall take effect, and filing the same with the President of the
Authority and with the Company, not less than forty-five (45) days before the date specified in
such instrument when such resignation shall take effect, and by giving notice of such resignation
by Mail or Electronic Means to all Owners of Bonds. Such resignation shall take effect on the
later to occur of (i) the day specified in such instrument and notice, unless previously a
successor Trustee shall have been appointed as hereinafter provided, in which event such
resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such successor Trustee and (ii)
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, 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 and such appointment shall be deemed to have
been accepted as contemplated in Section 10.16, 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.
33
(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.
Section 10.15 Judicial Appointment of Successor Trustee. 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 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 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.
34
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.
Section 10.18 Standard of Care. 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. In any judicial proceeding to
which the Authority is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel has a
substantial bearing on the interests of the Owners of Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of
the Owners of the Bonds and shall, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to it, do so if requested
in writing by Owners of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding if
permitted by the court having jurisdiction in the premises.
Section 10.21 Notices of Trustee. The Trustee shall give notice to both the Authority and the
Company whenever it is required hereby to give notice to either and, additionally, shall furnish to

ARTICLE XI
EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS BY OWNERS OF BONDS AND
PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF BONDS
PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF BONDS
Section 11.01 Execution of Instruments; Proof of Ownership. 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.
35
(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.

the Bonds any additional rights, remedies, powers, authority, security, liabilities or
duties which may lawfully be granted, conferred or imposed;

ability of Bonds of different denominations, redemptions of portions of Bonds of
particular denominations and similar amendments and modifications of a technical nature;

(h) to modify, alter, amend or supplement this Indenture in any other respect which is
not materially adverse to the Owners and which does not involve a change described in clause

desirable to maintain the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds.

this Section 12.02, there shall have been delivered to the Trustee 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, will, upon the execution and delivery thereof, 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.
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

(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.
37
(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 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

shall not become effective unless and until the Company shall have consented to such Supplemental
Indenture.
Section 12.06 Amendment of Loan Agreement without Consent of Owners. Without the consent of
or notice to the Owners of the Bonds, the Authority may enter into any Supplemental Loan Agreement,
and the Trustee may consent thereto, as may be required (a) by the provisions of the Loan Agreement
and this Indenture, (b) for the purpose of curing any formal defect, omission, inconsistency or
ambiguity therein, (c) to provide any additional procedures, covenants
or agreements necessary or desirable to maintain the tax-exempt status of interest on the
Bonds, or (d) in connection with any other change therein which is not materially adverse to the
Owners of the Bonds. A revision of Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement shall not be deemed a
Supplemental Loan Agreement for purposes of this Indenture.

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

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 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.
39
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 pledgees 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.

This Bond is one of the duly authorized The Industrial Development Authority of the County of
Pima Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, 2010 Series A (Tucson Electric Power Company Project)
(the Bonds) of the Authority, aggregating ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) in principal

particularly Title 35, Chapter 5, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended (the Act), and the
Indenture of Trust, dated as of October 1, 2010 (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 October 1, 2010 (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 finance a portion of the costs of the acquisition, construction, improvement and
equipping of the Facilities.
Neither Pima 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 Pima 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 October 1, 2020 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.
A-2
(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 is
impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason;
(ii) all or substantially all of the Facilities shall have been condemned or taken by
eminent domain; or
(iii) the operation of the Facilities 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 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the 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 147(a) of the Code.
(d) In the event that the aggregate of the amounts, if any, of the proceeds of the
Bonds remaining unexpended upon the completion of the Facilities or upon the termination of
the acquisition and construction thereof, together with any income or other gain from the
investment thereof, shall at any time, or from time to time, be equal to or greater than
$5,000, the Authority shall redeem the Bonds, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest to the redemption date, in the largest aggregate principal amount which does not
exceed the amount of such proceeds together with income or other gain on an interest payment
date determined as set forth in, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of, the
Indenture; provided, however, that the Company may direct that such proceeds and income be
applied to the purchase of the Bonds or in any other manner which will not impair the validity of the Bonds or the exemption from
gross income for federal tax purposes of the interest thereon.
A-3
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.
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 twenty (20) 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 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.
A-4
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.
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.
