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.
