to
JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A.
as
Administrative Agent under the Reimbursement Agreement hereinafter referred to
or registered assigns, the principal sum of
DOLLARS
on April

of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, at
the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, or in the City of
Tucson, Arizona, upon presentation hereof, and quarterly, on March 31,
June 30, September 30 and December 31 in each year, commencing
September 30, 2008 (each an “Interest Payment Date”), and at Maturity (as
defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 8 hereinafter referred to), to pay
interest thereon in like coin or currency at the rate specified below, from the
Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of this bond (unless this bond be
dated on an Interest Payment Date, in which case from the date hereof; or unless
this bond be dated prior to the first Interest Payment Date, in which case from
and including the date of the first authentication and delivery of the bonds of
this series), until the Company’s obligation with respect to such principal sum
shall be discharged.
During
the period from and including the date of the first authentication and delivery
of the bonds of this series to and including the day next preceding the first
Interest Payment Date, the bonds of this series shall bear interest at the rate
of eight per centum (8%) per annum; thereafter, the bonds of this series shall
bear interest at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in
Supplemental Indenture No. 8 hereinafter referred to) from time to time in
effect plus 300 basis points. Interest on the bonds of this series
during any period for which payment is made shall be computed in accordance with
the Reimbursement Agreement.
This bond
is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or
more series under and equally and ratably secured (except as any sinking,
amortization, improvement, renewal or other fund, established in accordance with
the provisions of the
A-1
indenture
hereinafter mentioned, may afford additional security for the bonds of any
particular series) by the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as of
December 1, 1992 (the “Original Indenture”), from the Company to The Bank
of New York (successor in trust to Bank of Montreal Trust Company), as trustee
(the “Trustee”), as supplemented by eight supplemental indentures including
Supplemental Indenture No. 8, dated as of June 1, 2008 (the Original Indenture,
as so supplemented, and such Supplemental Indenture being hereinafter called the
“Indenture” and “Supplemental Indenture No. 8”, respectively), to which
Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the property mortgaged
and pledged, the nature and extent of the security provided by the Indenture,
the rights and limitations of rights of the Company, the Trustee and the holders
of said bonds with respect to the security provided by the Indenture, the
powers, duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions upon
which such bonds are and are to be secured, and the circumstances under which
additional bonds may be issued. The acceptance of this bond shall be
deemed to constitute the consent and agreement by the holder hereof to all of
the terms and provisions of the Indenture. This bond is one of a
series of bonds designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series G, of
the Company.
The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Trustee to
enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any
provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of, the Indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than sixty per
centum (60%) in aggregate principal amount of the bonds of all series then
outstanding under the Indenture, considered as one class; provided, however,
that if there shall be bonds of more than one series outstanding under the
Indenture and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the
rights of the holders of bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such
series, then the consent only of the holders of bonds in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding bonds of all series so directly affected, considered
as one class, shall be required; and provided, further, that if the bonds of any
series shall have been issued in more than one tranche and if the proposed
supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the holder of bonds
of one or more, but less than all, of such tranches, then the consent only of
the holders of bonds in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding bonds of
all tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required;
and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the Trustee to enter into one
or more supplemental indentures for limited purposes without the consent of any
holders of bonds. Any such consent by the holder of this bond shall
be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this
bond and of any bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this bond.
The
Company has issued and delivered the bonds of this series to JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the
“Administrative Agent”) under the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement,
dated as of April 30, 2008, among the Company, the Lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Issuing Bank, the Syndication Agent party
thereto, the Co-Documentation Agents party thereto and the
Administrative Agent, as amended,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the
“Reimbursement Agreement”), in order to provide collateral security for the
obligation of the Company thereunder to pay the Obligations (as defined in
Supplemental Indenture No. 8).
Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement, and further
upon such additional conditions as are set forth in subdivision (h) of Article
II of Supplemental Indenture No. 8, then all bonds of this series shall be
redeemed immediately at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to

defined in Supplemental Indenture No. 8) shall remain outstanding or
(y) shall be deemed to remain unsatisfied in an amount equal to the
aggregate amount then due in respect of the Obligations and remaining unpaid
plus the aggregate stated amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit (not in
excess, however, of the amount otherwise then due in respect of principal of and
accrued interest on the bonds of this series).
The
principal of this bond and the interest accrued hereon may become or be declared
due and payable before the stated maturity hereof, on the conditions, in the
manner and at the times set forth in the Indenture, upon the happening of a
default as therein provided.
This bond
is non-transferable except as required to effect transfer to any successor
administrative agent under the Reimbursement Agreement, any such transfer to be
made at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, upon
surrender and cancellation of this bond, and upon any such transfer a new bond
of this series, for the same aggregate principal amount and having the same
stated maturity date, will be issued to the transferee in exchange
herefor. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the
Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name this bond is
registered as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and
for all other purposes. This bond, alone or with other bonds of this
series, may in like manner be exchanged at such office or agency for one or more
bonds of this series of the same aggregate principal amount and having the same
stated maturity date and interest rate, all as provided in the
Indenture.
No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this
bond, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof or of the
Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, director or officer, as such,
past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or
successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or by any legal or
equitable proceeding or otherwise howsoever (including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any proceeding to enforce any claimed liability of
shareholders of the Company, based upon any theory of disregarding the corporate
entity of the Company or upon any theory that the Company was acting as the
agent or instrumentality of the shareholders); all such liability being, by the
acceptance hereof and as a part of the consideration for the issuance hereof,
expressly waived and released by every holder hereof, and being likewise waived
and released by the terms of the Indenture under which this bond is issued, as
more fully provided in said Indenture.

This bond
shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of
authentication hereon shall have been signed by The Bank of New York, or its
successor, as Trustee under the Indenture.

name by the manual or facsimile signature of its President or one of its Vice
Presidents, and its corporate seal, or a facsimile thereof, to be impressed or
