ARTICLE VI

SPECIAL COVENANTS

SECTION 6.01. Maintenance of Legal Existence. Except as permitted in this Section 6.01, the Company shall maintain its legal existence, shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all of its assets, as or substantially as an entirety, and shall not consolidate with or merge with or into another entity. Unless such action would violate the Company’s covenant in Section 6.04, the Company may consolidate with or merge into another entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all of its assets, as or substantially as an entirety, to any Person, if the surviving or resulting Person (if other than the Company) or the

transferee Person, as the case may be, prior to or simultaneously with such merger, consolidation, sale, transfer or disposition, assumes, by delivery to the Trustee and the Pollution Control Corporation of an instrument in writing satisfactory in form to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Company under Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof. Upon such an assumption following any such consolidation or merger or sale, transfer or other disposition of assets, the Company shall be released and discharged from all liability in respect of all obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any such sale, transfer or other disposition of assets, which do not include the Facilities, the Company shall remain liable in respect of all obligations under this Agreement other than the obligations under Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof, and the transferee shall not be required to assume any obligations hereunder other than the obligations under Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof; provided, however, that the transferee shall be required to assume all such other obligations unless the Company shall have delivered to the Pollution Control Corporation and the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the non-assumption by the transferee of such other obligations will not impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds and will not, in and of itself, adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes of interest on the Bonds.

If consolidation, merger or sale, transfer or other disposition is made as permitted by this Section 6.01, the provisions of this Section 6.01 shall continue in full force and effect and no further consolidation, merger or sale or other transfer shall be made except in compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.01.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all of its facilities (a) for the generation of electric energy, (b) for the transmission of electric energy or (c) for the distribution of electric energy, in each case considered alone, or all of its facilities described in clauses (a) and (b), considered together, or all of its facilities described in clauses (b) and (c), considered together, shall in no event be deemed to constitute a sale, transfer or other disposition of all the properties of the Company, as or substantially as an entirety, unless, immediately following such sale, transfer or other disposition, the Company shall own no properties in the other such categories of property not so sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of. The character of particular facilities shall be determined by reference to the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed for public utilities and licensees subject to the Federal Power Act, as amended, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 6.02. Permits or Licenses. In the event that it may be necessary for the proper performance of this Agreement on the part of the Company or the Pollution Control Corporation that any application or applications for any permit or license to do or to perform certain things be made to any governmental or other agency by the Company or the Pollution Control Corporation, the Company and the Pollution Control Corporation each shall, upon the request of either, execute such application or applications.

SECTION 6.03. Pollution Control Corporation’s Access to Facilities. The Pollution Control Corporation shall have the right, upon appropriate prior notice to the Company, to have reasonable access to the Facilities during normal business hours for the purpose of making examinations and inspections of the same.

SECTION 6.04. Tax-Exempt Status of Interest on Bonds. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that interest on the Bonds shall be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and to that end the covenants and agreements of the Pollution Control Corporation and the Company in this Section 6.04 and the Tax Agreement are for the benefit of the beneficial owners from time to time of the Bonds.

(b) Each of the Company and the Pollution Control Corporation covenants and agrees for the benefit of the beneficial owners from time to time of the Bonds that it will not directly or indirectly use or permit the use of (to the extent within its control) the proceeds of any of the Bonds or any other funds, or take or omit to take any action, if and to the extent such use, or the taking or omission to take such action, would cause any of the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the 1986 Code or otherwise subject interest on the Bonds to federal income taxation by reason of failing to qualify under Section 103 of the 1986 Code or under Section 103 of the 1954 Code and Title XIII of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as applicable, and any applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. To such ends, the Pollution Control Corporation and the Company will comply with all requirements of such Section 148 to the extent applicable to the Bonds. In the event that at any time the Pollution Control Corporation or the Company is of the opinion that for purposes of this Section 6.04(b) it is necessary to restrict or limit the yield on the investment of any moneys held by the Trustee under the Indenture, the Pollution Control Corporation or the Company shall so notify the Trustee in writing.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and the Pollution Control Corporation agree that there shall be paid from time to time all amounts required to be rebated to the United States of America pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations. This covenant shall survive payment in full or defeasance of the Bonds and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. The Company specifically covenants to pay or cause to be paid the Rebate Requirement as defined and described in the Tax Agreement.

(c) The Pollution Control Corporation certifies and represents that it has not taken, and the Pollution Control Corporation covenants and agrees that it will not take, any action which results in interest paid on the Bonds being included in gross income of the beneficial owners of the Bonds for federal tax purposes by failing to qualify under Section 103 of the 1986 Code or under Section 103 of the 1954 Code and Title XIII of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as applicable, and any regulations thereunder; and the Company certifies and represents that it has not taken or (to the extent within its control) permitted to be taken, and the Company covenants and agrees that it will not take or (to the extent within its control) permit to be taken any action which will cause the interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Pollution Control Corporation shall be deemed to have violated these covenants if the interest on any of the Bonds becomes taxable to a person solely because such person is a “substantial user” of the Facilities or other facilities treated as financed or refinanced by the Bonds for federal income tax purposes or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code or Section 147(a) of the 1986 Code; and provided, further, that none of the covenants and agreements herein contained shall require either the Company or the Pollution Control Corporation to enter an appearance or intervene in any administrative, legislative or judicial proceeding in connection with any changes in applicable laws, rules or regulations or in connection with any decisions of any court or administrative agency or other governmental body affecting the taxation of interest

on the Bonds. The Company acknowledges having read Section 8.08 of the Indenture and agrees to perform all duties imposed on it by such Section 8.08, by this Section and by the Tax Agreement. Insofar as Section 8.08 of the Indenture and the Tax Agreement impose duties and responsibilities on the Company, they are specifically incorporated herein by reference.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.04 and Section 8.08 of the Indenture or the Tax Agreement, if the Company shall provide to the Pollution Control Corporation and the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that any specified action required under this Section 6.04 or Section 8.08 of the Indenture or the Tax Agreement is no longer required or that some further or different action is required to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, the Company, the Trustee and the Pollution Control Corporation may conclusively rely upon such opinion in complying with the requirements of this Section 6.04, and the covenants hereunder shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.

SECTION 6.05. Use of Facilities. So long as any Bonds are Outstanding and the Facilities are operated by or for the benefit of the Company, the Company shall exercise all of its rights, powers, elections and options under the Plant Agreements to cause the Facilities to be used for purposes contemplated by the Act and in the Tax Agreement.

SECTION 6.06. Financing Statements. The Company shall file and record, or cause to be filed and recorded, all financing statements and continuation statements referred to in Section 8.07 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE VII

SECTION 7.01. Conditions. The Company’s interest in this Agreement may be assigned as a whole or in part, and its interest in the Facilities may be leased, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company as a whole or in part (whether an interest in a specific element or unit or an undivided interest), to any Person; provided, however, that no such assignment, lease, sale, transfer or other disposition (a) shall relieve the Company from its primary liability for its obligations under Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof or (b) shall be made unless the assignee, lessee, purchaser or other transferee, as the case may be, prior to or simultaneously with such assignment, lease, sale, transfer or other disposition, assumes, by delivery of an instrument in writing satisfactory in form to the Trustee and the Pollution Control Corporation, all other obligations of the Company hereunder to the extent of the interest assigned, leased, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and the Company shall be released of and discharged from such obligations to the extent so assumed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if (i) the Company’s interest in this Agreement shall be assigned as a whole or in undivided part, (ii) the Company’s interest in the Facilities shall be leased as a whole or in undivided part and the term of such leasehold or the term of any extension or extensions thereof at the option of the Company shall extend beyond the maturity date of the Bonds or (iii) the Company’s interest in the Facilities shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as a whole or in undivided part, and (b) in the event that the assignee, lessee, purchaser or other transferee shall assume the obligations of the Company under Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof for the remaining term

of this Agreement, to the extent of such assignment, lease, sale, transfer or other disposition, the Company shall be released from and discharged of all liability in respect of such obligations to the extent so assumed (but only to such extent); provided, however, that the release and discharge of the Company pursuant to clause (b) shall be conditioned upon the delivery by the Company to the Pollution Control Corporation and the Trustee of a certificate of an Independent Expert (as hereinafter defined) describing the interests so assigned, leased, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, together with all other rights, interests, assets and/or properties assigned, leased, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Company to the same Person in the same or a related transaction, stating that such rights, interests, assets and/or properties so described constitute facilities for the generation, transmission and/or distribution of electric energy and stating that, in the opinion of such Independent Expert, the Fair Value (as hereinafter defined) of such rights, interests, assets and/or properties to the Person acquiring the same is not less than an amount equal to 10/7 of the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and (y) the outstanding principal amount of all other obligations of the Company representing indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property which are being assumed by such Person; provided, further, that after any such assumption, release and discharge as aforesaid, the Company may again assume such obligations under Section 5.01 hereof, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, and, to the extent of any such assumption by the Company (but only to such extent), the aforesaid assignee, lessee, purchaser or other transferee shall be released from and discharged of all liability in respect of such obligations.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not make any assignment, lease or sale as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph unless it shall have furnished to the Pollution Control Corporation and the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the proposed assignment, lease or sale will not impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds and will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal tax purposes.

After any lease, sale, transfer or other disposition of any element or unit of the Facilities, or any interest therein, the Company may, at its option, cause such element or unit, or interest therein, to no longer be deemed to be part of the Facilities for the purposes of this Agreement by delivering to the Pollution Control Corporation and the Trustee the agreements or other documents required pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof together with an instrument signed by an Authorized Company Representative stating that such element or unit, or interest therein, shall no longer be deemed to be part of the Facilities for the purposes of this Agreement.

For purposes of this Section 7.01:

(a) “Independent Expert” means a Person which (i) is an engineer, appraiser or other expert and which, with respect to any certificate to be delivered pursuant to this Section, is qualified to pass upon the matter set forth in such certificate and (ii)(A) is in fact independent, (B) does not have any direct material financial interest in the transferee or in any obligor upon the Bonds or under this Agreement or in any affiliate of the transferee or any such obligor, (C) is not connected with the transferee or any such obligor as an officer, employee, promoter, underwriter, trustee, partner, director or any person performing similar functions and (D) is approved by the Trustee in the exercise of

reasonable care; for purposes of this definition “engineer” means a Person engaged in the engineering profession or otherwise qualified to pass upon engineering matters (including, but not limited to, a Person licensed as a professional engineer, whether or not then engaged in the engineering profession); and for purposes of this definition “appraiser” means a Person engaged in the business of appraising property or otherwise qualified to pass upon the Fair Value or fair market value of property.

(b) “Fair Value” means the fair value of the interests, rights, assets and/or properties assigned, leased, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (but, in the case of a lease, only to the extent of such lease) as may be determined by reference to (i) except in the case of a lease, the amount which would be likely to be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with respect to such interests, rights, assets and/or properties between an informed and willing buyer and an informed and willing seller, under no compulsion, respectively, to buy or sell, (ii) in the case of a lease, the amount (discounted to present value at a rate not lower than the taxable equivalent of the yield to maturity of the Bonds based on prevailing market prices immediately prior to the first public announcement of the proposed transaction) which would be likely to be obtained in an arm’s-length transaction with respect to such interests, rights, assets and/or properties between an informed and willing lessee and an informed and willing lessor, neither under any compulsion to lease; (iii) the amount of investment with respect to such interests, rights, assets and/or properties which, together with a reasonable return thereon, would be likely to be recovered through ordinary business operations or otherwise, (iv) the cost, accumulated depreciation and replacement cost with respect to such interests, rights, assets and/or properties and/or (v) any other relevant factors; provided, however, that (x) Fair Value shall be determined without deduction for any mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lease, reservation, restriction, servitude, charge or similar right or any other lien of any kind and (y) the Fair Value to the transferee of any property shall not reflect any reduction relating to the fact that such property may be of less value to a Person which is not the owner, lessee or operator of the property or any portion thereof than to a Person which is such owner, lessee or operator. Fair Value may be determined, without physical inspection, by the use of accounting and engineering records and other data maintained by the Company or the transferee or otherwise available to the Independent Expert certifying the same.

SECTION 7.02. Instrument Furnished to the Pollution Control Corporation and Trustee. The Company shall, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery thereof, furnish to the Pollution Control Corporation and the Trustee a true and complete copy of the agreements or other documents effectuating any such assignment, lease, sale, transfer or other disposition.

This Agreement shall not be assigned nor shall the Facilities be leased, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, in whole or in part, except as provided in this Article VII or in Section 6.01 or 5.03 hereof. This Article VII shall not apply to any sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all of its assets, as or substantially as an entirety, as contemplated in Section 6.01.

(c) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or failure by the Company promptly to lift any execution, garnishment or attachment of such consequence as will impair its ability to make any payments under this Agreement, or the entry of an order for relief by a court of competent jurisdiction in any proceeding for its liquidation or reorganization under the provisions of any bankruptcy act or under any similar act which may be hereafter enacted, or an assignment by the Company for the benefit of its creditors, or the entry by the Company into an agreement of composition with its creditors (the term “dissolution or liquidation of the Company,” as used in this clause, shall not be construed to include the cessation of the corporate existence of the Company resulting either from a merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another entity or a dissolution or liquidation of the Company following a transfer of all or substantially all its assets as an entirety, under the conditions permitting such actions contained in Section 6.01 hereof).

SECTION 8.02. Force Majeure. The provisions of Section 8.01 hereof are subject to the following limitations: if by reason of acts of God; strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders of any kind of the government of the United States or of the State of Arizona, or any department, agency, political subdivision, court or official of any of them, or any civil or military authority; insurrections; riots; epidemics; landslides; lightning; earthquakes; volcanoes; fires; hurricanes; tornadoes; storms; floods; washouts; droughts; arrests; restraint of government and people; civil disturbances; explosions; breakage or accident to machinery; partial or entire failure of utilities; or any cause or event not reasonably within the control of the Company, the Company is unable in whole or in part to carry out any one or more of its agreements or obligations contained herein, other than its obligations under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.04, Section 5.06, and Section 6.01 hereof, the Company

shall not be deemed in default by reason of not carrying out said agreement or agreements or performing said obligation or obligations during the continuance of such inability. The Company shall make reasonable effort to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing it from carrying out its agreements; provided, that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Company, and the Company shall not be required to make settlement of strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such course is in the judgment of the Company unfavorable to the Company.

SECTION 8.03. Remedies. (b) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default described in clause (a) of Section 8.01 hereof, and further upon the condition that, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Bonds shall have been declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to any provision of the Indenture, the Loan Payments shall, without further action, become and be immediately due and payable.

Any waiver of any “Event of Default” under the Indenture and a rescission and annulment of its consequences shall constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event or Events of Default under this Agreement and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, the Pollution Control Corporation, or the Trustee with respect to the rights of the Pollution Control Corporation assigned to the Trustee by the Indenture, may take any action at law or in equity to collect any payments then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company hereunder.

(b) Any amounts collected by the Trustee from the Company pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall be applied in accordance with the Indenture.

SECTION 8.04. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Pollution Control Corporation hereby is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission 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 thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle the Pollution Control Corporation to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VIII, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

SECTION 8.05. Reimbursement of Attorneys’ and Agents’ Fees. If the Company shall default under any of the provisions hereof and the Pollution Control Corporation or the Trustee shall employ attorneys or agents or incur other reasonable expenses for the collection of payments due hereunder or for the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company contained herein, the Company will on demand therefor reimburse the Pollution Control Corporation or the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee,

as the case may be, for the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred.

SECTION 8.06. Waiver of Breach. In the event any obligation created hereby shall be breached by either of the parties and such breach shall thereafter be waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder. In view of the assignment of certain of the Pollution Control Corporation’s rights and interest hereunder to the Trustee, the Pollution Control Corporation shall have no power to waive any breach hereunder by the Company in respect of such rights and interest without the consent of the Trustee, and the Trustee may exercise any of the rights of the Pollution Control Corporation hereunder.

The Company shall furnish any moneys or Government Obligations required by the Indenture to be deposited with the Trustee or otherwise paid by the Pollution Control Corporation in connection with any of the foregoing purposes.

SECTION 9.02. Compliance with the Indenture.
