The New Bonds mature on June 1, 2034. The New Bonds are payable solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to the Loan Agreements.
The New Bonds will be issued initially as bonds that bear interest at a term rate starting with the date of issuance and delivery. The New Bonds will have the following terms during the initial term rate periods:


                              Aggregate
                              Principal
                               Amount      Term Rate    Initial Term Rate Period
    Navajo 2009 Series A     $38,150,000   5.00%       Three years to June 1, 2012

    Coconino 2009 Series A   $12,850,000   5.50%       Five years to June 1, 2014

Upon the expiration of the initial term rate period, APS will convert each series of the New Bonds to a new rate period upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Thereafter, interest on the New Bonds will be a daily rate, weekly rate, monthly rate, flexible rate, term rate, or fixed rate to the maturity of the New Bonds. There will be a mandatory tender of each series of the New Bonds upon conversion and remarketing of such series into such a new rate period.
APS' obligations under each Loan Agreement may be accelerated whenever any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. An Event of Default under a Loan Agreement includes: (1) failure of APS to make payments on the related New Bonds when due, including any payment of purchase price due on the mandatory tender of such New Bonds at the end of the initial term rate period; (2) certain bankruptcy and insolvency events relating to APS; and (3) the failure of APS to observe and perform its covenants or agreements under such Loan Agreement after a cure period. APS' covenants under the Loan Agreements are typical for transactions of this sort, including covenants intended to preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the New Bonds. The Loan Agreements also contain a customary limitation on liens covenant. If APS' obligations under a Loan Agreement are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default under such Loan Agreement, APS is required to redeem the related New Bonds. APS may also be required to redeem the New Bonds or a portion of the New Bonds if there is a determination of taxability with respect to the New Bonds, subject to the qualifications in the Indentures. In addition, APS' obligations under the Loan Agreements are subject to mandatory prepayment if the related New Bonds are accelerated due to an Event of Default under the applicable Indenture. Events of Default under each Indenture include failure to make payments when due on or with respect to the related New Bonds and a default by the Issuer in its obligations under such Indenture after a cure period.
