Such interest is included, however, as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations under the Code. Such opinion of Bond Counsel was also to the effect that under then-existing law, the State of Wyoming imposes no income taxes that would be applicable to interest on the Bonds. Such opinions have not been updated as of the date hereof. In the opinion of Bond Counsel to be delivered in connection with the delivery of the Replacement Letter of Credit, the delivery of the Replacement Letter of Credit will not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. See “TAX EXEMPTION” herein for a more complete discussion.

THIS SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT SHOULD THEREFORE BE READ ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT. This Supplement to Official Statement (the “Supplement”) is provided to furnish certain information with respect to the Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (PacifiCorp Project) Series 1995, the “Bonds”) of Sweetwater County, Wyoming (the “Issuer”) currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $24,400,000. The Bonds were issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1995, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago), as successor trustee (the “Trustee”), and under resolutions of the governing body of the Issuer. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds were loaned to PacifiCorp (the “Company”) pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement for the Bonds, dated as of November 1, 1995, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof (the “Agreement”), and used, together with certain other moneys of the Company, for the purposes set forth in the Original Official Statement. The Bonds, together with premium, if any, and interest thereon, are limited and not general, obligations of the Issuer not constituting or giving rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer nor any charge against its general credit or taxing powers nor an indebtedness of or a loan of credit thereof, shall be payable solely from the Revenues (as defined in the Indenture and which includes moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit) and other moneys pledged therefor under the Indenture, and shall be a valid claim of the respective holders 2 4815-1127-7331.6 thereof only against the Bond Fund (as defined in the Indenture), the Revenues and other moneys held by the Trustee as part of the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture). The Issuers shall not be obligated to pay the purchase price of Bonds from any source. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture, against any past, present or future officer or employee of the Issuer, or any incorporator, officer, director or member of any successor corporation, as such, either directly, or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law or equity, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and all such liability of any such incorporator, officer, director or member as such was expressly waived and released as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of any of the Bonds. The Company has exercised its right under the Agreement and the Indenture to terminate the Letter of Credit dated May 17, 2012 (the “Existing Letter of Credit”) issued by Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (the “Prior Bank”), which has supported payment of the principal, interest and purchase price of the Bonds since the date such Existing Letter of Credit was issued. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Company has elected to replace the Existing Letter of Credit with an Irrevocable Transferrable Direct Pay Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia, a bank organized under the laws of Canada, acting through its New York Agency (the “Bank”). The Letter of Credit will be delivered to the Trustee on March 26, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) and, after such date, the Bonds will not have the benefit of the Existing Letter of Credit. With respect to the Bonds, the Trustee will be entitled to draw under the Letter of Credit up to (a) an amount sufficient to pay (i) the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Bonds or (ii) the portion of the purchase price of the Bonds corresponding to such unpaid principal amount plus (b) an amount sufficient to pay (i) up to 50 days’ accrued interest on the Bonds (calculated at the maximum rate of 12% per annum and on the basis of a year of 365 days) or (ii) the portion of the purchase price of the Bonds corresponding to such accrued interest. The Letter of Credit will only be available to be drawn on while the Bonds bear interest at a daily rate or a weekly rate pursuant to the Indenture. After the date of delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Company is permitted under the Agreement and the Indenture to provide a substitute letter of credit (the “Substitute Letter of Credit”), which is issued by the same Bank that issued the then-existing Letter of Credit and which is identical to such Letter of Credit except for (i) an increase or decrease in the Interest Coverage Rate (as defined in the Indenture), (ii) an increase or decrease in the Interest Coverage Period (as defined in the Indenture) or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii). As used hereafter, “Letter of Credit” shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean such Substitute Letter of Credit from and after the issuance date thereof. The Company also is permitted under the Agreement and Indenture to provide for the delivery of an alternate credit facility, including a letter of credit of a commercial bank or a credit facility from a financial institution, or any other credit support agreement or mechanism arranged by the Company (which may involve a letter of credit or other credit facility or first mortgage bonds of the Company or an insurance policy), the administration provisions of which are acceptable to the Trustee (an “Alternate Credit Facility”), to replace a Letter of Credit or provide for the termination of a Letter of Credit or any Alternate 3 4815-1127-7331.6 Credit Facility then in effect. See “THE LETTER OF CREDIT AND THE CREDIT AGREEMENT” and the Official Statement under the caption “THE BONDS — Purchase of Bonds.” Prior to the delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Bonds bore interest at a Daily Rate. Following the delivery of the Letter of Credit, the Bonds will continue to bear interest at a Daily Rate, subject to the right of the Company to cause the interest rate on the Bonds to be converted to other interest rate determination methods as described in the Official Statement.

REMARKETING AGENT General. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Remarketing Agent”), will continue as remarketing agent for the Bonds. Subject to certain conditions, the Remarketing Agent has agreed to determine the rate of interest on the Bonds and use its best efforts to remarket all tendered Bonds. In the ordinary course of its business, the Remarketing Agent has engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with the Company, its subsidiaries and its other affiliates, for which it has received and will receive customary compensation. Special Considerations. The Remarketing Agent is Paid by the Company. The Remarketing Agent’s responsibilities include determining the interest rate from time to time and remarketing Bonds that are optionally or mandatorily tendered by the owners thereof (subject, in each case, to the terms of the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement), all as further described in this Supplement. The Remarketing Agent is appointed by the Company and paid by the Company for its services. As a result, the interests of the Remarketing Agent may differ from those of existing Holders and potential purchasers of Bonds. The Remarketing Agent May Purchase Bonds for Its Own Account. The Remarketing Agent acts as remarketing agent for a variety of variable rate demand obligations and, in its sole discretion, may purchase such obligations for its own account. The Remarketing Agent is permitted, but not obligated, to purchase tendered Bonds for its own account and, in its sole discretion, may acquire such tendered Bonds in order to achieve a successful remarketing of the Bonds (i.e., because there otherwise are not enough buyers to purchase the Bonds) or for other reasons. However, the Remarketing Agent is not obligated to purchase Bonds, and may cease doing so at any time without notice. The Remarketing Agent may also make a market in the Bonds by purchasing and selling Bonds other than in connection with an optional or mandatory tender and remarketing. Such purchases and sales may be at or below par. However, the Remarketing Agent is not required to make a market in the Bonds. The Remarketing Agent may also sell any Bonds it has purchased to one or more affiliated investment vehicles for collective ownership or enter into derivative arrangements with affiliates or others in order to reduce its exposure to the Bonds. The purchase of Bonds by the Remarketing Agent may create the appearance that there is greater third party demand for the Bonds in the market than is actually the case. The practices described above also may result in fewer Bonds being tendered in a remarketing. Bonds May Be Offered at Different Prices on Any Date Including an Interest Rate Determination Date. Pursuant to the Indenture and Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agent is required to determine the applicable rate of interest that, in its judgment, is the lowest rate that would permit the sale of the Bonds bearing interest at the applicable interest rate at par plus accrued interest, if any, on and as of the applicable interest rate determination date. The interest rate will reflect, among other factors, the level of market demand for the Bonds 12 4815-1127-7331.6 (including whether the Remarketing Agent is willing to purchase Bonds for its own accounts). There may or may not be Bonds tendered and remarketed on an interest rate determination date, the Remarketing Agent may or may not be able to remarket any Bonds tendered for purchase on such date at par and the Remarketing Agent may sell Bonds at varying prices to different investors on such date or any other date. The Remarketing Agent is not obligated to advise purchasers in a remarketing if it does not have third party buyers for all of the Bonds at the remarketing price. In the event the Remarketing Agent owns any Bonds for its own account, it may, in its sole discretion in a secondary market transaction outside the tender process, offer such Bonds on any date, including the interest rate determination date, at a discount to par to some investors. The Ability to Sell the Bonds Other Than Through the Tender Process May Be Limited. The Remarketing Agent may buy and sell Bonds other than through the tender process. However, it is not obligated to do so and may cease doing so at any time without notice and may require Holders that wish to tender their Bonds to do so through the Trustee with appropriate notice. Thus, investors who purchase the Bonds, whether in a remarketing or otherwise, should not assume that they will be able to sell their Bonds other than by tendering the Bonds in accordance with the tender process. The Remarketing Agent May Resign, be Removed or Cease Remarketing the Bonds, Without a Successor Being Named. Under certain circumstances, the Remarketing Agent may be removed or have the ability to resign or cease its remarketing efforts without a successor having been named, subject to the terms of the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement. TAX EXEMPTION The opinion of Chapman and Cutler delivered on December 14, 1995 stated that, subject to compliance by the Company and the Issuer with certain covenants made to satisfy pertinent requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the “1954 Code”), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) under then-existing law, interest on the Bonds is not includible in gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user of the Project or the 1990A Project or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meaning of either Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code or Section 147(a) of the Code); however, the interest on the Bonds is included as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and under the Code. As indicated in such opinion, the failure to comply with certain of such covenants of the Issuer and the Company could cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Chapman and Cutler LLP (“Bond Counsel”) has made no independent investigation to confirm that such covenants have been complied with. Bond Counsel will deliver an opinion in connection with delivery of the Letter of Credit, in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix E, to the effect that the delivery of the Letter of Credit (i) is authorized under and complies with the terms of the Agreement and (ii) will not impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds or will not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. Except as necessary to render the foregoing opinions, Bond Counsel has not reviewed 13 4815-1127-7331.6 any factual or legal matters relating to its opinion dated December 14, 1995 subsequent to its issuance other than with respect to the Company in connection with (a) the execution and delivery of the First Supplemental Trust Indenture, Dated as of February 1, 2002 and the First Supplemental Loan Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2002, described in its opinion dated February 20, 2002; (b) the delivery of an Irrevocable Letter of Credit, described in its opinion dated as of February 20, 2002; (c) delivery of an earlier Letter of Credit, described in its opinion dated September 15, 2004; (d) delivery of the Amendment to the earlier Letter of Credit, described in its opinion dated November 30, 2005; (e) delivery of the Existing Letter of Credit, described in its opinion dated May 17, 2012 and (f) delivery of the Letter of Credit described herein. The opinion delivered in connection with delivery of the Letter of Credit is not to be interpreted as a reissuance of the original approving opinion as of the date of this Supplement to Official Statement. Ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, corporations subject to either the environmental tax or the branch profits tax, financial institutions, certain insurance companies, certain S Corporations, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to applicability of any such collateral consequences. MISCELLANEOUS This Supplement to Official Statement has been approved by the Company for distribution by the Remarketing Agent to current Bondholders and potential purchasers of the Bonds.

The opinion of Chapman and Cutler delivered on December 13, 1995 stated that, subject to compliance by the Company and the Issuer with certain covenants, under then existing law interest on the Bonds is not includible in gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user of the Facilities or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meanings of either Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended), but that interest on the Bonds will be treated as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. Such opinion of Bond Counsel was also to the effect that under then existing law the State of Wyoming imposed no income taxes that would be applicable to interest on the Bonds. Such opinions have not been updated as of the date hereof. In the opinion of Bond Counsel to be delivered in connection with the delivery of the Letter of Credit, the delivery of the Letter of Credit will not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax purposes.

Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture in its entirety for the detailed provisions thereof Bond Fund There is created under the Indenture a Bond Fund to be held by the Trustee and therein established a Principal Account and an Interest Account. The Trustee is to deposit into the Principal Account of the Bond Fund (i) payments made by the Company pursuant to the Loan Agreement in respect of principal of or premium payable on the Bonds, (ii) all monies drawn by the Trustee under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility to pay principal, premium, if any, (but only to extent the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility covers premium) or the redemption price payable on the Bonds when due; and (iii) any other moneys required by the Indenture or the Loan Agreement to be deposited into the Principal Account of the Bond Fund. -15- The Trustee is to keep separate moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, in the Letter of Credit Subaccount of the Principal Account and shall not commingle such moneys with other moneys in the Principal Account. In the event that separate Principal Accounts have been created in accordance with the Indenture, the Trustee shall keep all moneys, including remarketing proceeds and moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, deposited with respect to Bonds in a certain Rate Period separate from moneys deposited with respect to Bonds in a different Rate Period. The Trustee is to deposit into the Interest Account of the Bond Fund (i) payments made by the Company pursuant to the Loan Agreement in respect of interest on the Bonds, (ii) all monies drawn by the Trustee under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility to pay interest on the Bonds when due; and (iii) any other moneys required by the Indenture or the Loan Agreement to be deposited into the Interest Account of the Bond Fund. The Trustee is to keep separate moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, in the Letter of Credit Subaccount of the Interest Account and shall not commingle such moneys with other moneys in the Interest Account. In the event that separate Interest Accounts have been created in accordance with the Indenture, the Trustee shall keep all moneys, including remarketing proceeds and moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, deposited with respect to Bonds in a certain Rate Period separate from moneys deposited with respect to Bonds in a different Rate Period. While any Bonds are outstanding and except as provided in a Tax Exemption Certificate and Agreement among the Trustee, the Issuer and the Company (the "Tax Certificate"), moneys in the Bond Fund will be used solely for the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or upon acceleration of maturity, subject to the prior claim of the Trustee, to the extent described in the Original Official Statement under the caption "THE INDENTURE--Pledge and Security." Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest Prior to 1:30 p.m., on the Business Day preceding each Interest Payment Date and each date on which principal shall be due and payable on the Bonds, whether at maturity, upon redemption or upon acceleration, the Trustee shall draw under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility (if then in effect), an amount equal to the principal of, premium, if any (if the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility then covers premium) and interest due and payable on the Bonds (other than Pledged Bonds and Bonds held by the Company) on such payment date. Such drawing shall be made in a timely manner under the terms of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility in order that the Trustee may realize funds thereunder in sufficient time to pay Bondholders on the payment date as provided in the Indenture. When the Bonds are in a Book-Entry System, such payment shall be made to the Securities Depository Nominee by the time required by the Securities Depository. All amounts derived by the Trustee with respect to the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility shall be deposited in the appropriate account of the Bond Fund upon receipt thereof by the Trustee. If no Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility is then in effect, the Trustee shall receive from the Company pursuant to the Loan -16- Agreement the full amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on, the Bonds on that date. The Trustee shall, upon written notice of a failed remarketing from the Remarketing Agent, pursuant to the Indenture, draw moneys under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, in accordance with the Indenture and in accordance with its terms to ensure timely payment thereof to the extent necessary to pay to the Remarketing Agent of the Trustee the purchase price of Bonds delivered or deemed to be delivered to the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee as described under the captions of "AMENDMENTS TO THE BONDS-- Mandatory Purchase," herein and "THE BONDS--Optional Redemption of Bonds," in the Original Official Statement. The Trustee shall only draw upon a Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, for Bonds in a Rate Period with respect to which such Bonds are subject to said Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be. The Trustee is authorized to withdraw sufficient funds from the Bond Fund to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds as the same become due and payable. In the event of a default under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, or at such time as no Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility secures the Bonds, the Trustee shall use all moneys then on deposit in the Bond Fund to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds. Letter of Credit; Substitute Letter of Credit The initial Letter of Credit is to be delivered to the Trustee on the Initial Letter of Credit Delivery Date. The Company may at any time substitute a Substitute Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility for an existing Letter of Credit, subject to the limitations set forth in the Loan Agreement. If at any time there shall have been delivered to the Trustee a Substitute Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, together with any other documents and opinions required by the Loan Agreement, then the Trustee is required to accept such Substitute Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility and promptly surrender the previously held Letter of Credit to the issuer thereof, in accordance with the terms thereof for cancellation. If at any time there shall cease to be any Bonds Outstanding under the Indenture, or if the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility expires in accordance with its terms, the Trustee is required to surrender the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility to the Bank, in accordance with the terms thereof, for cancellation. The Trustee is required to comply with the procedures set forth in the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility relating to the termination thereof. Upon the payment of a portion of the principal amount of the Bonds, the Trustee is required to take such steps as are permitted under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility -17- to reduce the stated amount of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility in accordance with the terms thereof. Defaults Each of the following events will constitute an "Event of Default" under the Indenture: (a) a failure to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any of the Bonds when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (b) a failure to pay an installment of interest on any of the Bonds for a period of one day after such interest has become due and payable; (c) a failure to pay amounts due in respect of the purchase price of Bonds as provided under the caption "AMENDMENTS TO THE BONDS--Mandatory Purchase" and in the Original Official Statement under the caption "THE BONDS--Optional Purchase"; (d) a failure by the Issuer to observe and perform any covenant, condition, agreement or provision (other than as specified in (a), (b) and (c) described above) contained in the Bonds or the indenture on the part of the Issuer to be observed or performed, which failure shall continue for a period of 90 days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, shall have been given to the Issuer and the Company by the Trustee by registered or certified mail, which may give such notice in its discretion and shall give such notice at the written request of the Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, unless the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Owners of a principal amount of Bonds not less than the principal amount of Bonds the Owners of which requested such notice, 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 Issuer or the Company on behalf of the Issuer within such period and is being diligently pursued; (e) an "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement; (f) the Trustee receives written notice from the Bank to the effect that an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Reimbursement Agreement; or (g) the Trustee receives written notice from the Bank on or before the date or dates specified in the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility following a drawing on the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility to pay interest on the Bonds that it will not reinstate its Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility in the amount of the said interest drawing. -18- Remedies Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under (f) or (g) above, the Trustee is required to declare the principal and interest on the Bonds, which has accrued to the date of such declaration of acceleration, due and payable immediately. Upon the occurrence (without waiver or cure) of an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the preceding paragraph or an Event of Default described in clause (e) of the preceding paragraph resulting from an "Event of Default" under the Loan Agreement as described in the Original Official Statement under clause (a) or (c) of "THE LOAN AGREEMENT--Defaults," then the Trustee may (and upon the written request of the Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall) by written notice by first-class mail to the issuer and the Company, declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the Bonds shall, without further action, become immediately due and payable, anything in the Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Trustee is required to give notice thereof by first call mail to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds. Anything to the contrary contained in the Indenture, notwithstanding, if a Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility is in effect, and (a) the Event of Default is not under (f) or (g) above, and (b) the Event of Default is not the result of a failure by the Bank to honor a properly presented and conforming drawing under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, the Trustee will not declare the Bonds to be due and payable without first obtaining the Bank's prior written consent. Upon the principal of and accrued interest on the Bonds becoming due and payable as provided in this paragraph, the Trustee is required to immediately draw on the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, if any, to pay the principal of and accrued interest on the Bonds. The provisions described in the preceding paragraphs are subject to the condition that if, so long as no Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility is outstanding, 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 issuer shall cause to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Bonds, any unpaid purchase price 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 specified in the Bonds) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee, and all Events of Default (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 Issuer and the Company and shall give notice thereof to Owners of Outstanding Bonds by first-class mail; provided, however, that no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any other Event of Default or subsequent Event of Default or impair any right, power or remedy consequent thereon. -19- The provisions of the above paragraphs are, further, subject to the condition that, if an Event of Default, as described in clause (f) or (g) above shall have occurred and if the Trustee shall thereafter have received notice from the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) (x) that the notice which caused such Event of Default to occur has been withdrawn and (y) that the amounts available to be drawn on the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) to pay (i) the principal of the Bonds or the portion of purchase price equal to accrued interest, have been reinstated to an amount equal to the principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon for the applicable Interest Coverage Period at the Interest Coverage Rate, then, in every such case, such Event of Default shall be deemed waived and its consequences rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission and annulment to the Issuer, the Company, the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) and the Remarketing Agent, if any, and, if notice of the acceleration of the Bonds shall have been given to the Owners of Bonds, shall give notice thereof by Mail 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. 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 direction of the Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction (except against gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall, in its own name and as the Trustee of an express trust: (i) by mandamus, or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, enforce all rights of the Owners under, and require the Issuer, the Bank (or Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility) or the Company to carry out any agreements with or for the benefit of the Owners of Bonds and to perform its or their duties under, the Act, the Loan Agreement, the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, and the Indenture, provided that any such remedy may be taken only to the extent permitted under the applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement or the Indenture, as the case may be; (ii) bring suit upon the Bonds; (iii) by action or suit in equity require the Issuer to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the Owners of Bonds; or (iv) 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 Bonds. The Trustee is required to waive any Event of Default under the indenture and its consequences and rescind any declaration of acceleration of principal upon the written request of the Owners of (A) more than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds in respect of which default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds exists or (B) more than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds in the case of any other Event of Default; provided, however, that (x) there shall not be waived any Event of Default specified in (a), (b) or -20- (c) above unless prior to such waiver or rescission, the Issuer has caused 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 of acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum specified in the Bonds) and (y) (i) no Event of Default is to be waived unless (in addition to the applicable conditions as aforesaid) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee; and (ii) when a Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility is in effect, the Trustee receives the written consent of the Bank to the waiver of the Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement, if applicable, and to the rescission of the acceleration and the Trustee receives written notice from the Bank that the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility has been reinstated in accordance with the terms thereof. In case of any waiver or rescission described above, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such Event of Default has been discontinued or concluded or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Owners of Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights under the Indenture, respectively; provided further that no such waiver or rescission is to extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee and upon furnishing to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it (except against gross negligence or willful misconduct), to direct the time, method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings available to the Trustee under the Indenture or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by the Indenture, provided that such direction shall not be other than in accordance with the provisions of law and the Indenture and shall not result in any personal liability of the Trustee. No Owner shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the execution of any trust or power under the Indenture, or any other remedy under the Indenture or in the Bonds, unless such Owner previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default as provided in the Indenture and unless the Owners of not less than 25% 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 under the Indenture 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 (except against gross negligence or willful misconduct), and the Trustee shall not have complied with such request within a reasonable time; and such notification, request and offer of indemnity are 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 shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of the Indenture, or to enforce any right thereunder or under the Bonds, except in the manner provided in the Indenture, and that all suits, actions and proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner provided in the Indenture and for the equal benefit of all Owners. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the right of any Owner to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Owner's 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, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Owner of Bonds. Modifications of Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility No Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility may be modified without the prior written consent of 100% of the holders of the Bonds, except to (a) correct any formal defects therein, (b) effect transfers thereof, (c) effect extensions thereof, (d) effect reductions and reinstatements thereof in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, (e) increase the stated amount thereof, or (f) effect any change which does not have a material adverse effect upon the interests of the Bondholders. Pursuant to the Indenture, however, the Company has the right to obtain a Substitute Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, subject to the requirements set forth in the Loan Agreement without the consent of the Bondholders. REMARKETING AGENT The Company has appointed Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. (the "Remarketing Agent"), as remarketing agent for the Bonds beginning February 15, 2002. Following that date, the Bonds are to be remarketed by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2002 (the "'Remarketing Agreement"), between the Company and the Remarketing Agent. Subject to certain conditions, the Remarketing Agent has agreed to determine the rate of interest on the Bonds in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and use its best efforts to remarket all tendered Bonds. RATINGS Based upon the issuance of the Letter of Credit by Bank One, it is expected that Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") will assign municipal bond ratings of "Aa2/VMIG 1" to the Bonds and that Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies ("S&P"), will assign municipal bond ratings of "A+/A-I" to the Bonds. (Moody's and S&P are referred to herein as the "Rating Agencies"). These ratings reflect only the views of the Rating Agencies. An explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the Rating Agencies. There is no assurance that such ratings will continue for any period of time or that they will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the Rating Agencies, if, in their judgment, circumstances so warrant. None of the issuer, the Company, or the Remarketing Agent has undertaken any responsibility either to bring to the attention of the owners of the Bonds any proposed revision in, or withdrawal of, the ratings or to oppose any such proposed revision or withdrawal. Any such downward revision or withdrawal may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Bonds. -22- TAX EXEMPTION Original Opinion. The opinion of Chapman and Cutler delivered on December 13, 1995 (the "Original Opinion"), stated that, subject to compliance by the Company and the Issuer with certain covenants made to satisfy pertinent requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "1954 Code"), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") under then existing law interest on the Bonds is not includible in gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user of the Project or the 1990A Project or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meaning of either Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code or Section 147(a) of the Code), however, such interest on the Bonds would be treated as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations under the Code. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other federal tax consequences to certain taxpayers; no opinion was expressed regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. In rendering this opinion, Chapman and Cutler relied upon certifications of the Company with respect to certain material facts solely within the Company's knowledge, relating to the Project (as defined in the Original Opinion), the 1990A Project (as defined in the Original Opinion), the Plant (as defined in the Original Opinion) and the application of the proceeds of the Bonds. The failure to comply with certain of such covenants of the Issuer and the Company could cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Chapman and Cutler has made no independent investigation to confirm that such covenants have been complied with. Supplemental Opinion. Chapman and Cutler will deliver an opinion in connection with the delivery of the Letter of Credit to the effect that the delivery of the Letter of Credit (i) is authorized under the Agreement and complies with the terms thereof and (ii) will not impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds or will not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. Except as necessary to render the foregoing opinions, Chapman and Cutler has not reviewed any factual or legal matters relating to its opinion dated December 13, 1995 subsequent to its issuance. The opinion delivered in connection with delivery of the Letter of Credit is not to be interpreted as a reissuance of the original approving opinion as of the date of this Supplement. Ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, corporations subject to the branch profits tax, financial institutions, certain insurance companies, certain S corporations, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to the applicability of any such collateral consequences. -23- MISCELLANEOUS This Supplement to Official Statement has been approved by the Company for distribution by the Remarketing Agent to current Bondholders and potential purchasers of the Bonds. THE ISSUER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO AND HAS NOT PARTICIPATED IN THE PREPARATION OF ANY PORTION OF THIS SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT. -24- APPENDIX A PACIFICORP The following information concerning PacifiCorp (the "Company") has been provided by representatives of the Company and has not been independently confirmed or verified by the Remarketing Agent, the Issuer or any other party.

A-3 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK APPENDIX B BANK ONE, NA The information contained and incorporated by reference in this Appendix B to the Official Statement has been obtained from Bank One, NA. The Issuer and the Underwriter make no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Tim BANK Bank One, NA, whose main office is located in Chicago, Illinois (the "Bank"), is a wholly owned subsidiary of BANK ONE CORPORATION. The Bank provides a broad range of retail and wholesale banking products and services to its domestic and foreign customers. The principal focus of the Bank is the extension of credit and delivery of financial services and noncredit services to individuals, businesses and governmental units. The Bank had total deposits of $8.8 billion as of September 30, 2001. All phases of the Bank's activities are highly competitive. The Bank competes actively with money market mutual funds, national and state banks, mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, finance companies, credit unions and other financial institutions located throughout the United States. For international business, the Bank competes with other United States banks which have foreign installations and with other major banks and financial institutions located throughout the world. In addition, the Bank and its subsidiaries are subject to competition from a variety of financial and other institutions which provide a wide array of products and services. The earnings of the Bank are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve "). An important function of the Federal Reserve is to promote orderly economic growth by influencing interest rates and the supply of money and credit. Among the methods that have been used to implement this objective are open market operations in United States government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements against bank deposits. These methods are used in varying combinations to influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, interest rates on loans and securities and rates paid for deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve strongly influence the behavior of interest rates and can have a significant effect on the operating results of the Bank. The effect on the future business and earnings of the Bank of the aforementioned measures and any other economic controls which may be imposed by executive, legislative and regulatory authorities from time to time cannot be predicted. There are also various requirements and restrictions in the laws of the United States and the State of Illinois affecting the Bank and its operations, including the requirement to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the nature and amount of loans which may be made by the Bank, restrictions relating to the investments and other activities of the Bank. The Bank, as a national bank, is subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the B-1 "Comptroller"), the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The operations of the Bank are also subject to various restrictions imposed by the laws and regulators of other countries in which the Bank conducts business. Recently, significant legislation affecting national banks and bank holding companies has been enacted. The effect of such legislation, and of any future legislative and regulatory changes, on the business and earnings of the Bank cannot be predicted. Effective February 1, 2001, Bank One, Louisiana, National Association and Bank One, Texas, National Association, affiliates of the Bank, merged with and into the Bank. The Bank files Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (the "Call Report") with the Comptroller on a quarterly basis. The Call Report contains various financial and statistical information on the Bank. Copies of the Call Report can be inspected and reproduced at the Comptroller's office at 490 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W., 6th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20219, and can be obtained by mail upon request and subject to availability from BANK ONE CORPORATION at the address set forth below or from the Manager, Statistical Branch, Data Processing, Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, D.C. 20219. BANK ONE CORPORATION BANK ONE CORPORATION ("ONE"), whose principal office is located in Chicago, Illinois, is a multi-bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.

If the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Weekly Interest Rate for any period, the Weekly Interest Rate shall be the same as the Weekly Interest Rate for the immediately preceding week. The first Weekly Interest Rate determined for each Weekly Interest Rate Period shall apply to the period commencing on the first day of the Weekly Interest Rate Period and ending on the next succeeding Tuesday. Thereafter, each Weekly Interest Rate shall apply to the period commencing on each Wednesday and ending on the next succeeding Tuesday, unless such Weekly Interest Rate Period shall end on a day other than Tuesday, in which event the last Weekly Interest Rate for such Weekly Interest Rate Period shall apply to the period commencing on the Wednesday preceding the last day of such Weekly Interest Rate Period and ending on such last day.

Notice of Adjustment to Weekly Interest Rate Period The Trustee shall give notice by mail of an adjustment to a Weekly Interest Rate Period to the Owners not less than 20 days prior to the effective date of such Weekly Interest Rate Period. Such notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on such Bonds will be adjusted to a Weekly Interest Rate (subject to the Company's ability to rescind its election as described below under "mRescission of Election"), (2) the effective date of such Weekly Interest Rate Period, (3) that such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective date, (4) the procedures for such mandatory purchase, (5) the purchase price of such Bonds on the effective date (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof), and (6) that the Owners of such Bonds do not have the right to retain their Bonds on such effective date. Term Interest Rate Period Determination of Term Interes.t Rate. During each Term Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the Term Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day selected by the Remarketing Agent, but not more than 30 days prior to and not later than the effective date of such Term Interest Rate Period. The Term Interest Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on such date, and communicated on such date to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company, as being the lowest rate (based on an examination of Tax-Exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then prevailing market conditions) which 6 would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the effective date of such Term Interest Rate Period at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. If, for any reason, a Term Interest Rate for any Term Interest Rate Period shall not be determined or effective, then (1) if the then-current Term Interest Rate Period is for one year or less, the Rate Period for such Bonds will automatically convert to a Daily Interest Rate Period and (2) if the then-current Term Interest Rate Period is for more than one year, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to a Term Interest Rate Period of one year and one day; provided, however, that if the last day of any successive Term Interest Rate Period shall not be a day immediately preceding a Business Day, then such successive Term Interest Rate Period shall end on the first day immediately preceding the Business Day next succeeding such day or, if such Term Interest Rate Period would end after the day prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds, the next succeeding Rate Period shall be a Term Interest Rate Period ending on the day prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds; provided, further, that in the case of clause (2) above, if the Company delivers to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to the end of the then-effective Term Interest Rate Period, the Rate Period for the Bonds will adjust to a Daily Interest Rate Period. If the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of any such Daily Interest Rate Period or a Daily Interest Period described in clause (1) above is not determined as described under "--Daily Interest Rate Period--Determination of Daily Interest Rate," the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of such Daily Interest Rate Period shall be 80% of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore published in The Bond Buyer (or, if The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One-Year Note Index, the one- year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent as most comparable to The Bond Buyer). If a Term Interest Rate for any such Term Interest Rate Period described in clause (2) above is not determined as described in the second preceding sentence, the Term Interest Rate for such Term Interest Rate Period shall be 100% of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore published in The Bond Buyer (or, if The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One-Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent as most comparable to The Bond Buyer). In no event shall any Term Interest Rate exceed 18 % per annum. Adjustment to or Continuation of Term Interest Rate Period. The interest rate borne by the Bonds shall be adjusted to or continued as a Term Interest Rate upon receipt by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent of a written notice from the Company, which notice shall specify the duration of the Term Interest Rate Period during which the Bonds shall bear, or continue to bear, interest at a Term Interest Rate. Such notice may specify two or more consecutive Term Interest Rate Periods and, if it so specifies, shall specify the duration of each such Term Interest Rate Period as provided in this paragraph. Such notice shall specify the effective date of each Term Interest Rate Period, which shall be (1) a Business Day not earlier than the twentieth day following the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Trustee and Paying Agent of such notice (or such shorter period after the date of such receipt as shall be acceptable to the Trustee), (2) in the case of an adjustment from or continuation of a Term Interest Rate Period, a day on which the Bonds could be redeemed at the option of the Company or the day immediately following the last day of the then-current Term Interest Rate Period, and (3) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Interest Rate Period, either the day immediately following the last day of the then-current Flexible Interest Rate Period or the day immediately following the last day of the last Flexible Segment for each Bond in the then-current Flexible Interest Rate Period, all as determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2), respectively, under "--Flexible Interest Rate Period--Adjustment from Flexible Interest Rates"; provided, however, that if prior to the Company's making such election, any Bonds shall have been called for redemption and such redemption shall not have been effected, the effective date of such Term Interest Rate Period shall not precede such redemption date. Such notice shall also specify (1) the last day of such Term Interest Rate Period (which shall be either the day preceding the maturity date of the Bonds or a day which both immediately precedes a Business Day and is at least one year after such effective date) and (2) unless such Term Interest Rate Period immediately succeeds a Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration and is subject to the same optional redemption rights, shall be accompanied by a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such adjustment. 7 If, by 20 days prior to the end of the then-current Term Interest Rate Period, the Trustee has not received the Company's notice of an adjustment to a Daily Interest Rate Period, a Weekly Interest Rate Period, a Term Interest Rate Period or a Flexible Interest Rate Period, accompanied by a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel, then (1) in the event the then-current Term Interest Rate Period is for one year or less, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically convert to a Daily Interest Rate Period and (2) in the event the current Term Interest Rate Period is for more than one year, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to a Term Interest Rate Period of one year and one day; provided, however, that if the last day of any successive Term Interest Rate Period shall not be a day immediately preceding a Business Day, then such successive Term Interest Rate Period shall end on the first day immediately preceding the Business Day next succeeding such day or, if such Term Interest Rate Period would end after the day prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds, the next succeeding Rate Period shall be a Term Interest Rate Period ending on the day prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds; provided, further, that in the case of clause (2) above, if the Company delivers to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to the end of the then- effective Term Interest Rate Period, the Rate Period for the Bonds will adjust to a Daily Interest Rate Period. If the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of any such Daily Interest Rate Period or a Daily Interest Rate Period described in clause (1) above is not determined as described under "--Daily Interest Rate Period--Determination of Daily Interest Rate," the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of such Daily Interest Rate Period will be 80 % of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore published in The Bond Buyer (or, if The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One-Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent as most comparable to The Bond Buyer). If a Term Interest Rate for any such Term Interest Rate Period described in clause (2) above is not determined as described in the second preceding sentence, the Term Interest Rate for such Term Interest Rate Period shall be 100% of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore published in The Bond Buyer (or, if _The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One-Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent as the most comparable to The Bond ~. The notice of an adjustment to or continuation of a Term Interest Rate may specify that such Term Interest Rate Period shall be automatically renewed for successive Term Interest Rate Periods each having the same duration as the Term Interest Rate Period so specified; provided, however, that such election must be accompanied by a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel .with respect to such continuing automatic renewals of such Term Interest Rate Period. If such election is made, no opinion of Bond Counsel shall be required in connection with the commencement of each successive Term Interest Rate Period determined in accordance with such election. Notice of Adjustment to or Continuation of Term Interest Rate Period. The Trustee shall give notice by mail of an adjustment to or continuation of a Term Interest Rate Period to the Owners not less than 20 days prior to the effective date of such Term Interest Rate Period. Such notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on the Bonds will be adjusted to, or continue to be, a Term Interest Rate (subject to the Company's ability to rescind its election as described below under "--Rescission of Election"), (2) the effective date and the last date of such Term Interest Rate Period, (3) that the Term Interest Rate for such Term Interest Rate Period will be determined not later than the effective date thereof, (4) how such Term Interest Rate may be obtained from the Remarketing Agent, (5) the Interest Payment Dates after such effective date, (6) that during such Term Interest Rate Period, the holders of such Bonds will not have the right to tender their Bonds for purchase, (7) that, except when the new Term Interest Rate Period is preceded by a Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration, such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective date, and (8)the redemption provisions that will apply to the Bonds during such Term Interest Rate Period. Flexible Interest Rate Period Determination of Flexible Segments and Flexible Interest Rates. During each Flexible Interest Rate Period, each Bond shall bear interest during each Flexible Segment for such Bond at the Flexible Interest Rate for such Bond. Each Flexible Segment for any Bond shall be a period ending on a day immediately preceding a Business Day, of not less than one nor more than 365 days determined by the Remarketing Agent to be, in its judgment, the period which, together with all other Flexible Segments for all Bonds then outstanding, is likely to result in the lowest overall net interest expense on such Bonds. Any Bond purchased on behalf of the Company and remaining unsold by the Remarketing Agent as of the close of business on the effective date of the Flexible Segment for such Bond will have a Flexible Segment of one day or, if such Flexible Segment would not end on a day immediately preceding a Business Day, a Flexible Segment of more than one day ending on the day immediately preceding the next Business Day. No Flexible Segment shall extend beyond the final maturity date of the Bonds. The Flexible Interest Rate for each Flexible Segment for each Bond shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent (based on an examination of Tax-Exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then prevailing market conditions) no later than the first day of such Flexible Segment (and in the case of a Flexible Segment of one day, no later than 12:30 p.m. New York time, on such date) to be the lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. If a Flexible Segment or a Flexible Interest Rate for a Flexible Segment is not determined or effective, the Flexible Segment for such Bond shall be a Flexible Segment of one day, and the interest rate for such Flexible Segment of one day shall be 80 % of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore published in The Bond Buy~ (or, if The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One- Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent as most comparable to The Bond Buyer). In no event shall any Flexible Interest Rate exceed 18 % per annum. Adjustment to Flexible Interest Rate Period. The interest rate borne by the Bonds shall be adjusted to Flexible Interest Rates upon receipt by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent of a written notice from the Company. Such notice (1) shall specify the effective date of the Flexible Interest Rate Period which shall be (A) a Business Day not earlier than the twentieth day following the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Trustee and Paying Agent of such notice (or such shorter period after the date of such receipt as shall be acceptable to the Trustee) and (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Interest Rate Period, a day on which the Bonds could be redeemed at the option of the Company or the day immediately following the last day of the then-current Term Interest Rate Period; provided, however, that if prior to the Comnanv's making such election any Bonds have been called for redemption and sucla redemption sl~Jl not meretofore have been effected, the effective date of the Flexible Interest Rate Period sl'~all not precede such redemption date and (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Interest Rate Period having a duration in excess of one year, shall be accompanied by a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such adjustment. During each Flexible Interest Rate Period commencing on the date so specified (provided that the Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (2) above, if required, is reaffirmed as of such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the next succeeding Rate Period, each Bond shall bear interest at a Flexible Interest Rate during each Flexible Segment for such Bond. Notice of Adjustment to Flexible Interest Rate Period. The Trustee shall give notice by mail of an adjustment to a Flexible Interest Rate Period to the Owners not less than 20 days prior to the effective date of such Flexible Interest Rate Period. Such notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on the Bonds will be adjusted to Flexible Interest Rates (subject to the Company's ability to rescind its election as described below under "--Rescission of Election"), (2) the effective date of such Flexible Interest Rate Period, (3) that such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on the effective date of such Flexible Interest Rate Period, (4) the procedures for such mandatory purchase, and (5) that the Owners of such Bonds do not have the right to retain their Bonds on such effective date. Adjustment from Flexible Interest Rates. At any time during a Flexible Interest Rate Period, the interest rate borne by the Bonds shall be adjusted from Flexible Interest Rates and the Bonds shall instead bear interest as otherwise permitted in the Indenture, upon receipt by the issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent of written notice from the Company specifying the Rate Period to follow with respect to such Bonds and instructing the Remarketing Agent to: 9 (1) determine Flexible Segments of such duration that, as soon as possible, all Flexible Segments shall end on the same date, not earlier than the eleventh day following the third Business Day (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) following the receipt by the Trustee and Paying Agent of notice from the Company, which date shall be the last day of the then-current Flexible Interest Rate Period, and, upon the establishment of such Flexible Segments, the day next succeeding the last day of all such Flexible Segments shall be the effective date of the Rate Period elected by the Company; or (2) determine Flexible Segments of such duration that will, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, best promote an orderly transition to the next succeeding Rate Period beginning not earlier than the eleventh day following the third Business Day (or such shorter period acceptable to the Trustee) after the receipt by the Trustee and Paying Agent of such notice; provided, however, that if such next succeeding Rate Period is a Term Interest Rate Period, that such transition be completed before the end of such Term Interest Rate Period so that the Term Interest Rate Period for all of the Bonds shall end on the same date. If the Company selects alternative (2) above, the day next succeeding the last day of the Flexible Segment for each Bond of an Issue shall be with respect to such Bond the effective date of the Rate Period elected by the Company. An adjustment from a Flexible Interest Rate Period described in this paragraph may result in some of the Bonds bearing interest at a Daily Interest Rate, Weekly Interest Rate or Term Interest Rate while other Bonds continue to bear interest at Flexible Interest Rates until all Bonds are adjusted from the Flexible Interest Period. Determination Conclusive The determination of the various interest rates and Flexible Segments referred to above shall be conclusive and binding upon the Remarketing Agent, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the issuer, the Company and the Owners of the Bonds. Rescission of Election The Company may rescind any election by it to adjust to or, in the case of a Term Interest Rate Period, continue a Rate Period prior to the effective date of such adjustment or continuation by giving written notice of rescission to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Rernarketing Agent prior to such effective date. At the time the Company gives notice of the rescission, it may also elect in such notice to continue the Rate Period then in effect; provided, however, that if the Rate Period then in effect is a Term Interest Rate Period, the subsequent Term Interest Rate Period shall not be of a different duration than the Term Interest Rate Period then in effect unless the Company provides to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to the expiration of the then-current Term Interest Rate Period. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission prior to the time the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of the change in or continuation of Rate Periods, then such notice of change in or continuation of Rate Periods shall be of no force and effect and shall not be given to the Owners. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of (i) an adjustment from any Rate Period other than a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year or (ii) an attempted adjustment from one Rate Period (other than a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year) to another Rate Period that does not become effective for any other reason, and if the Company does not elect to continue the Rate Period then in effect, then the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to or continue in a Daily Interest Rate Period and the Trustee shall immediately give notice thereof to the Owners of the Bonds. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of an adjustment from a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year to another Rate Period (including a Term Interest Rate Period of a different duration), or if an attempted adjustment from a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year to another Rate Period (including a Term Interest Rate Period of a different duration) does not become effective for any reason and if the Company does not elect to continue the Term Interest Rate Period then in effect, then the Rate Period for the Bonds shall 10 continue to be a Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration as the immediately preceding Term Interest Rate Period, subject to the second proviso contained in the paragraph above under "--Term Interest Rate Period--Determination of Term Interest Rate"; provided that if the Company delivers to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to the end of the then effective Term Interest Rate Period, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall be as directed by the Company in writing. If a Daily Interest Rate for the first day of any Daily Interest Rate Period to which a Rate Period is adjusted in accordance with this paragraph is not determined as described in "--Daily Interest Rate Period--Determination of Daily Interest Rate," the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of such Daily Interest Rate Period shall be 80 % of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore published in The Bond Buyer (or, if The Bond Buy.~. is no longer published or no longer publishes the One- Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent as most comparable to The Bond Buyer). The Trustee shall immediately give written notice of each such automatic adjustment to a Rate Period as described in this paragraph to the Owners. Notwithstanding the rescission by the Company of any notice to adjust or continue a Rate Period, if notice has been given to Owners of such adjustment or continuation, the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory purchase as specified in such notice. Optional Purchase Daily Interest Rate Period. During any Daily Interest Rate Period, any Bond (or portions thereof in Authorized Denominations) shall be purchased at the option of the owner thereof on any Business Day at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of purchase upon: (a) delivery to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such Business Day, of an irrevocable written or telephonic notice, which states the principal amount and certificate number (if the Bonds are not then held in book-entry form) of such Bond to be purchased and the date of such purchase; and (b) except when the Bond is held in book-entry form, delivery of such Bond, accompanied by an instrument of transfer (which may be the form printed on the Bond) executed in blank by its Owner, with such signature guaranteed by a member or participant in a "signature guarantee program" as provided in the form of assignment attached to such Bond to the Delivery Office of the Trustee at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on such purchase date. Weekly Interest Rate Period. During any Weekly Interest Rate Period, any Bond (or portions thereof in Authorized Denominations) shall be purchased at the option of the owner thereof on any Wednesday, or if such Wednesday is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of purchase upon: (a) delivery to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee of an irrevocable written notice or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on any Business Day, which states the principal amount and certificate number (if the Bonds are not then held in book-entry form) of such Bond to be purchased and the date on which such Bond is to be purchased, which date shall not be prior to the seventh day next succeeding the date of the delivery of such notice to the Trustee; and (b) except when the Bond is held in book-entry form, delivery of such Bond, accompanied by an instrument of transfer (which may be the form printed on the Bond) executed in blank by its Owner, with such signature guaranteed by a member or participant in a "signature guarantee program" as provided in the form of assignment attached to such Bond to the Delivery Office of the Trustee at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the purchase date specified in such notice. 11 Term Interest Rate Period. Any Bond (or portions thereof in Authorized Denominations) shall be purchased at the option of the owner thereof on the first day of any Term Interest Rate Period that follows a Term Interest Rate Period of equal duration, at a purchase price equal to (1) if the Bond is purchased on or prior to the Record Date, 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of purchase to the date of purchase (unless the date of purchase shall be an Interest Payment Date in which case the purchase price shall be equal to the principal amount thereof) or (2) if the Bond is purchased after the Record Date, 100% of the principal amount thereof, upon: (a) delivery to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee on any Business Day not less than 15 days before the purchase date of an irrevocable notice in writing by 5:00 p.m., New York time, which states the principal amount and certificate number (if the Bonds are not then held in book-entry form) of such Bond to be so tendered for purchase; and (b) except when the Bond is held in book-entry form, delivery of such Bond, accompanied by an instrument of transfer (which may be the form printed on the Bond) executed in blank by its Owner, with such signature guaranteed by a member or participant in a "signature guarantee program" as provided in the form of assignment attached to such Bond to the Delivery Office of the Trustee at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such purchase. FOR SO LONG AS THE BONDS ARE HELD IN BOOK-ENTRY FORM, THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE BONDS THROUGH ITS DIRECT PARTICIPANT (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) SHALL GIVE NOTICE TO THE TRUSTEE TO ELECT TO HAVE SUCH BONDS PURCHASED, AND SHALL EFFECT DELIVERY OF SUCH BONDS BY CAUSING SUCH DIRECT PARTICIPANT TO TRANSFER ITS INTEREST IN THE BONDS EQUAL TO SUCH BENEFICIAL OWNER'S INTEREST ON THE RECORDS OF DTC TO THE TRUSTEE'S PARTICIPANT ACCOUNT WITH DTC. THE REQUIREMENT FOR PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF THE BONDS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PURCHASE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL BE DEEMED SATISFIED WHEN THE OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE BONDS ARE TRANSFERRED BY DTC PARTICIPANTS ON THE RECORDS OF DTC. SEE "--Book-Entry System." Mandatory Purchase The Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the purchase date described below, upon the occurrence of any of the events stated below: (a) as to any Bond, on the effective date of any change in a Rate Period, other than the effective date of a Term Interest Rate Period which was preceded by a Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration; or (b) as to each Bond in a Flexible Interest Rate Period, on the day next succeeding the last day of any Flexible Segment with respect to such Bond. When Bonds are subject to redemption pursuant to paragraph (c) below under "--Optional Redemption of Bonds," the Bonds are also subject to mandatory purchase on a day that the Bonds would be subject to redemption, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an amount equal to any premium which would have been payable on such redemption date had the Bonds been redeemed if the Company gives notice to the Trustee on the day prior to the redemption date that it elects to have the Bonds purchased in lieu of redemption. If the Bonds are purchased on or prior to the Record Date, the purchase price shall include accrued interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of purchase to the date of purchase (unless the date of purchase shall be .an Interest Payment Date, in which case the purchase price shall be equal to the 12 amount specified in the preceding sentence). If the Bonds are purchased after the Record Date, the purchase price shall not include accrued interest. FOR SO LONG AS THE BONDS ARE HELD IN BOOK-ENTRY FORM, NOTICES OF MANDATORY PURCHASE OF BONDS SHALL BE GIVEN BY THE TRUSTEE TO DTC ONLY, AND NEITHER THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE, THE COMPANY, THE UNDERWRITER NOR THE REMARKETING AGENT SHALL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELIVERY OF ANY SUCH NOTICES BY DTC TO ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANTS OF DTC, BY ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANTS TO ANY INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OF DTC OR BY ANY DIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS TO BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE BONDS. FOR SO LONG AS THE BONDS ARE HELD IN BOOK-ENTRY FORM, THE REQUIREMENT FOR PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF THE BONDS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PURCHASE PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE SHALL BE DEEMED SATISFIED WHEN THE OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE BONDS ARE TRANSFERRED BY DIRECT PARTICIPANTS ON THE RECORDS OF DTC. SEE "--Book-Entry System." Purchase of Bonds On the date on which Bonds are delivered to the Trustee for purchase as specified above under "--Optional Purchase" or "--Mandatory Purchase," the Trustee shall pay the purchase price of such Bonds solely from the following sources in the order of priority indicated, and the Trustee has no obligation to use funds from any other source: (a) proceeds from the remarketing and sale of such Bonds; (b) moneys furnished by the Trustee upon defeasance of such Bonds, such moneys to be applied only to the purchase of Bonds which are deemed to be defeased; and (c)any other moneys furnished by the Company to the Trustee for purchase of the Bonds; provided, however, that funds for the payment of the purchase price of defeased Bonds shall be derived only from the sources described in (a) and (b) above, in such order of priority. Remarketing of Bonds The Remarketing Agent shall offer for sale and use its best efforts to remarket any Bond subject to purchase pursuant to the optional or mandatory purchase provisions described above, any such remarketing to be made at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the purchase date. The Company may direct the Remarketing Agent from time to time to cease and to resume sales efforts with respect to some or all of the Bonds. Optional Redemption of Bonds The Bonds may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole, or in part by lot, prior to their maturity as follows: (a) On any Business Day during a Daily Interest Rate Period or Weekly interest Rate Period, the Bonds may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of redemption. (b) During any Flexible Interest Rate Period, each Bond may be redeemed on the day next succeeding the last day of each Flexible Segment for such Bond at a redemption price equal to 100% of its principal amount.

Extraordinary Optional Redemption of Bonds At any time, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Company in whole or in part (and if in part, by lot), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Company stating that any of the following events has occurred and that the Company therefore intends to exercise its option to prepay the payments due under the Loan Agreement in whole or in part and thereby effect the redemption of the Bonds in whole or in part to the extent of such prepayments: (i) the Company shall have determined that the continued operation of the Plant is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason; or (ii) the Company shall have determined that the continued operation of the Project and the Prior Project is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable due to (A) the imposition of taxes, other than ad valorem taxes currently levied upon privately owned property used for the same general purpose as the Project and the Prior Project, or other liabilities or burdens with respect to the Project and the Prior Project or the operation thereof, (B) changes in technology, in environmental standards or legal requirements or in the economic availability of materials, 14 supplies, equipment or labor or (C) destruction of or damage to all or part of the Project and the Prior Project; or ¯ (iii) all or substantially all of the Project and the Prior Project or the Plant shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain; or (iv) the operation of the Project and the Prior Project or the Plant 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. Special Mandatory Redemption of Bonds The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of redemption in whole within 180 days following a "Determination of Taxability" as defined below; provided that, if in the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Trustee, the redemption of a specified portion of the Bonds outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption would remain Tax-Exempt, then the Bonds shall be redeemed in part by lot (in Authorized Denominations) in such amount as Bond Counsel in such opinion shall have determined is necessary to accomplish that result. A "Determination of Taxability" shall be deemed to have occurred if, as a result of an Event of Taxability (as defined below), a final decree or judgment of any federal court or a final action of the Internal Revenue Service determines that interest paid or payable on any Bond is or was includable in the gross income of an owner of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes under the Code (other than an owner who is a "substantial user" or "related t~erson" within the meaning of either Section 147(a) of the Code or Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 C~ode. However, no such decree or action will be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is legally allowed, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of any owner of a Bond, and until conclusion of any appellate review, if sought. If the Trustee receives written notice from any owner stating (i) that the owner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that it proposes to include the interest on any Bond in the gross income of such owner for the reasons described therein or any other proceeding has been instituted against such owner which may lead to a final decree or action as described in the Loan Agreement, and (ii) that such owner will afford the Company the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the owner, until a conclusion of any appellate review, if sought, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the Issuer and the owner of each Bond then outstanding. If a final decree or action as described above thereafter occurs and the Trustee has received written notice thereof at least 45 days prior to the redemption date, the Trustee shall make the required demand for prepayment of the amounts payable under the Loan Agreement for prepayment of the Bonds and give notice of the redemption of the Bonds at the earliest practical date, but not later than the date specified in the Loan Agreement, and in the manner provided by the Indenture. An "Event of Taxability" means the failure of the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in the Loan Agreement, which failure results in a Determination of Taxability. Procedure for and Notice of Redemption If less than all of the Bonds are called for redemption, the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, by lot. 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 each Bond by the minimum Authorized Denomination. Any Bonds selected for redemption which are deemed to be paid in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture will cease to bear interest on the date fixed for redemption. Subject to the procedures described below under "--Book-Entry System" for Bonds held in book-entry form, upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds at the place or places of payment, such Bonds shall be paid. Notice of redemption shall be given by mail as provided in the Indenture, at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, provided that the failure to duly give notice by mailing to any Owner, or any defect 15 therein, shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any Bonds in respect of which no such failure has occurred. With respect to notice of any optional redemption of the Bonds, as described 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 may state that such redemption is conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds to be redeemed. If such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such redemption will not take place. Book-Entry System The following information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from sources (including DTC) that the Company believes to be reliable, but none of the Company, the Issuer or the Underwriter takes any responsibility for the accuracy of such information. The Depository Trust Company CDTC"), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. One fully registered Bond certificate will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants (the "Direct Participants") include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Purchases of Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each Beneficial Owner is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Bonds deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Bonds are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. 16 Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory reqmrements as may be in effect from time to time. As long as the book-entry system is used for the Bonds, redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such Issue to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). As long as the book-entry system is used for the Bonds, principal or purchase price of and premium, if any, and interest payments on, the Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Underwriter, the Remarketing Agent or the Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, purchase price, premium and interest with respect to the Bonds to DTC is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Paying Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. A Beneficial Owner, through a Direct Participant acting on behalf of such Beneficial Owner or an Indirect Participant acting on behalf of such Beneficial Owner, shall give notice to the Trustee of its election to have Bonds tendered for purchase, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds by causing the Direct Participant to transfer on DTC's records the Direct Participant's interest in the Bonds to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of Bonds in connection with an optional or mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in such Bonds are transferred by Direct Participants to the account of the Trustee on DTC's records. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Company may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered. None of the Issuer, the Company, the Underwriter, the Remarketing Agent, the Trustee nor the Paying Agent will have any responsibility or obligation to any securities depository, any Participants m the Book-Entry System or the Beneficial Owners with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by the securities depository or any Participant; (ii) the payment by the securities depository or by any Participant of any amount due to any Beneficial Owner in respect of the principal amount or redemption of, or interest on, any Bonds; (iii) the delivery of any notice by the securities depository or any Participant; (iv) the selection of the Beneficial Owners to receive payment in the event of any partial redemption of the Bonds; or (v) any other action taken by the securities depository or any Participant. 17 THE LOAN AGREEMENT The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Loan Agreement. made to the Loan Agreement in its entirety for the detailed provisions thereof Issuance of the Bonds Reference is hereby The Issuer is issuing the Bonds for the purposes of loaning the proceeds thereof to the Company to finance a portion of the Company's cost of the Project and of refunding the Prior Bonds.

Amendment of the Loan Agreement Without the consent of or notice to the Owners of the Bonds, the Issuer and the Company may modify, alter, amend or supplement the Loan Agreement, and the Trustee may consent thereto, as may be required (a) by the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Indenture; Co) for the purpose of curing any formal defect, omission, inconsistency or ambiguity therein; (c) in connection with any other change therein which in the judgment of the Trustee is not materially adverse to the Owners of the Bonds; (d) to secure or maintain ratings for the Bonds from Moody's and/or S&P in both the highest short-term or commercial paper debt Rating Category and also in either of the two highest long-term debt Rating Categories; (e) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Issuer contained in the Loan Agreement or of the Company contained in any document, other covenants or agreements thereafter to be observed, or to assign or pledge additional security for any of the Bonds, or to surrender any right or power reserved or conferred upon the Issuer or the Company, which shall not materially adversely affect the interest of the Owners of the Bonds; (f) to provide demand purchase obligations to cause the Bonds to be authorized purchases for investment companies; (g) to provide the procedures required to permit any Owner to separate the right to receive interest on the Bonds from the right to receive principal thereof and to sell or dispose of such right as contemplated by Section 1286 of the Code; (h) to provide for any additional procedures, covenants or agreements necessary to maintain the Tax-Exempt status of interest on the Bonds; (i) to implement a conversion of the interest rate in the Bonds; (j) to provide for a letter of credit, standby bond purchase agreement, bond insurance policy or any other instrument or device to provide security or liquidity support for the Bonds; and (k) to modify, alter, amend or supplement the Loan Agreement in any other respect (which in the judgment of the Trustee is not materially adverse to the Owners), including amendments which would otherwise be described herein, if the effective date of such supplement or amendment is a date on which all of the Bonds affected thereby are subject to mandatory purchase and are so purchased. The Issuer and the Trustee will not consent to any other amendment, change or modification of the Loan Agreement without the written approval or consent of the Owners of not less than 60 % in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding; provided, however, that, unless approved in writing by the Owners of all Bonds affected thereby, nothing in the Indenture shall permit, or be construed as permitting, a change in the obligations of the Company to make Loan Payments or payments to the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds. Before the Issuer shall enter into, and the Trustee shall consent to, any modification, alteration, amendment or supplement to the Loan Agreement as described in the two immediately preceding paragraphs, there shall have been delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel 26 stating that such modification, alteration, amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by the Loan Agreement or the Indenture and the Act, complies with their respective terms, will, upon the execution and delivery thereof, be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms and will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. LITIGATION There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened litigation against the Issuer that in any way questions or materially affects the Bonds, the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or the Indenture or any proceedings or transactions relating to the issuance, sale or delivery of the Bonds or that may materially adversely affect the redemption of the Prior Bonds. UNDERWRITING Pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, Goldman, Sachs & Co., as Underwriter, has agreed to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Underwriter is committed to purchase all of the Bonds if any are purchased. The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter a fee of $100,000 in connection with such purchase, and to reimburse the Underwriter for its reasonable expenses. The Company has also agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. The Underwriter may offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers and others at prices lower than the initial offering price stated on the cover page hereof. After the initial public offering, the public offering prices may be changed from time to time by the Underwriter. In the ordinary course of its business, the Underwriter has engaged, and will in the future engage, in commercial and investment banking activities with the Company and certain of its affiliates. TAX EXEMPTION The Code and the 1954 Code, as applicable, contain a number of requirements and restrictions which apply to the Bonds, including investment restrictions, periodic payments of arbitrage profits to the United States, requirements regarding the proper use of bond proceeds and the facilities financed therewith, and certain other matters. The Company and the Issuer have covenanted to comply with all requirements of the Code and the 1954 Code that must be satisfied in order for the interest on the Bonds to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants could cause interest on all of the Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Subject to compliance by the Company and the Issuer with the above-referenced covenants, under present law, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds is not includable in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user of any of the Facilities or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meaning of either Section 147(a) of the Code or Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code). The interest on the Bonds is included, however, as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel will rely upon certifications of the Company with respect to certain material facts solely within the Company's knowledge relating to the Facilities and the application of the proceeds of the Bonds and the Prior Bonds. 27 An additional tax (the "environmental tax") is imposed on a corporation at a rate of 0.12 percent on the excess over $2,000,000 of such corporation's "modified alternative minimum taxable income," which would include a portion of the interest of the Bonds. Under the provisions of Section 884 of the Code, a branch profits tax is levied on the "effectively converted earnings and profits" of certain foreign corporations, which include tax- exempt interest such as interest on the Bonds. ¯ Ownership of the Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers, including, without limitation, corporations subject to either the environmental tax or the branch profits tax, financial institutions, certain insurance companies, certain S corporations, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry tax-exempt obligations. Prospective purchasers of the Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to applicability of any such collateral consequences. If a Bond is purchased at any time for a price that is less than the Bond's stated redemption price at maturity, the purchaser will be treated as having purchased a Bond with market discount subject to the market discount rules of the Code (unless a statutory de minimis rule applies). Accrued market discount is treated as taxable ordinary income and is recognized when a Bond is disposed of (to the extent such accrued discount does not exceed gain realized) or, at the purchaser's election, as it accrues. The applicability of the market discount rules may adversely affect the liquidity or secondary market price of such Bond. Purchasers should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential implications of market discount with respect to the Bonds. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, under present Wyoming law, the State of Wyoming imposes no income taxes which would be applicable to the Bonds. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion with respect to any other taxes imposed by the State of Wyoming or any political subdivision thereof. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other Wyoming tax consequences to certain taxpayers, and Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. Except as described above, Bond Counsel expresses no opinion as to whether the Bonds will be subject to any state or local taxes under applicable state or local law. Prospective purchasers of Bonds should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of any such state or local taxes. CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS The validity of the Bonds will be passed upon by Chapman and Cutler, Bond Counsel, and the Underwriter's obligation to purchase the Bonds is subject to the issuance of Bond Counsel's opinion with respect thereto. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Stoel Rives, as counsel for the Company, and for the Underwriter by BaUard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Issuer by Sherry FatTens, Civil Deputy County Attorney. Chapman and Cutler has represented other parties in matters involving subsidiaries of the Company where the legal fees of Chapman and Cutler have been paid by such subsidiaries and served as bond counsel for the Prior Bonds.

APPENDIX B PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL [LETTERHEAD OF CHAPMAN AND CUTLER] [TO BE DATED CLOSING DATE] $24,400,000 Sweetwater County, Wyoming, Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (PacifiCorp Project) Series 1995 We hereby certify that we have examined certified copy of the proceedings of record of the Board of County Commissioners of Sweetwater County, Wyoming (the "Issuer"), a political subdivision of the State of Wyoming, preliminary to the issuance by the Issuer of its Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (PacifiCorp Project) Series 1995, in the aggregate principal amount of $24,400,000 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the provisions of Sections 15-1-701 to 15-1-710, inclusive, Wyoming Statutes (1977), as amended and supplemented (the "Act"), for the purpose of (a) financing a portion of the cost of an undivided interest (the "Project") of PacifiCorp, an Oregon corporation (the "Company" ), in certain solid waste disposal facilities at the Jim Bridger coal-f'u-ed steam electric generating plant (the "Plant") in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, (b) refunding a portion of the Issuer's $3,000,000 outstanding Taxable Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (PacifiCorp Project) Series 1995-T (the "1995T Bonds") that were issued for the purpose of temporarily financing a portion of the cost of the Project, and (c) refunding the Issuer's $18,600,000 outstanding Environmental Improvement Revenue Bonds (PacifiCorp Project) Series 1990A (the "1990A Bonds") that were issued for the purpose of financing a portion of the cost of the Company's undivided interest (the "1990A Project") in certain pollution control and solid waste disposal facilities at the Plant. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, together with other moneys to be provided by the Company, are to be deposited with the trustee for the 1990A Bonds to provide for the payment of the 1990A Bonds and with the trustee for the 1995T Bonds to provide for the payment of the 1995T Bonds. The balance of the proceeds of the Bonds are to be deposited with the trustee for the Bonds to pay certain costs of the Project and a portion of the costs of issuing the Bonds. The Bonds mature on November 1, 2025, bear interest from time to time computed as set forth in each of the Bonds and are subject to purchase and redemption prior to maturity at the times, in the manner and upon the terms set forth in each of the Bonds. The Bonds are issuable in authorized denominations as provided in the hereinafter-defined Indenture as fully-registered Bonds without coupons. B-1 From such examination of the proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners of the Issuer referred to above and from an examination of the Act, we are of the opinion that such proceedings show lawful authority for such issue of Bonds under the laws of the State of Wyoming now in force. Pursuant to a Loan Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1995 (the "Loan Agreement"), between the Company and the Issuer, the Issuer has agreed to loan the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to the Company for the purpose of financing a portion of the cost of the Project and of refunding the 1990A Bonds and the 1995T Bonds, and the Company has agreed to pay amounts at least sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due, whether at stated maturity, call for redemption or acceleration. The Loan Agreement (an executed counterpart of which has been examined by us) has, in our opinion, been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the qualification that the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or usual equity principles in the event equitable remedies should be sought. We have also examined an executed counterpart of the Trust Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1995 (the "indenture"), between the Issuer and The First National Bank of Chicago, as trustee (the "Trustee"), securing the Bonds and setting forth the covenants and undertakings of the Issuer in connection with the Bonds and making provision under certain conditions for the remarketing of the Bonds by a Remarketing Agent (the "Remarketing Agent"), for the determination of the interest rate to be borne by the Bonds from time to time, which interest rate may be a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly Interest Rate, a Flexible Interest Rate or a Term Interest Rate (each as defined in the Indenture), and for the conversion of the interest rate determination method under certain conditions. The Indenture provides that the Bonds will initially bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate until conversion to a different interest rate determination method. Under the Indenture, the revenues derived by the Issuer under the Loan Agreement, together with certain of the rights of the Issuer thereunder, are pledged and assigned to the Trustee as security for the Bonds. From such examination, we are of the opinion that the proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners of the Issuer referred to above show lawful authority for the execution and delivery of the Indenture, that the Indenture is a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the qualification that the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or usual equity principles in the event equitable remedies should be sought, that the Bonds have been validly issued under the Indenture, and that all requirements under the Indenture precedent to delivery of the Bonds have been satisfied. We further certify that we have examined the form of bond prescribed in the Indenture and find the same in due form of law and in our opinion the Bonds, to the amount B-2 named, are valid and legally binding upon the Issuer according to the import thereof and, as provided in the Indenture and the Bonds, are payable by the Issuer solely out of payments to be made by the Company under the Loan Agreement and all moneys and investments held by the Trustee under the Indenture or otherwise available to the Trustee for the payment thereof. It is our opinion that, subject to compliance by the Company and the Issuer with certain covenants made to satisfy pertinent requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "1954 Code"), and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), under present law, interest on the Bonds is not includible in gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for interest on any Bond for any period during which such Bond is owned by a person who is a substantial user of the Project or the 1990A Project or any person considered to be related to such person (within the meaning of either Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code or Section 147(a) of the Code); however, such interest on the Bonds is included as an item of tax preference in computing the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations under the Code. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants could cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other federal tax consequences to certain taxpayers, and we express no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon certifications of the Company with respect to certain material facts solely within the Company's knowledge relating to the Project, the 1990A Project, the Plant and the application of the proceeds of the Bonds. In our opinion, under present Wyoming law, the State of Wyoming imposes no income taxes that would be applicable to interest on the Bonds. No opinion is expressed with respect to any other taxes imposed by the State of Wyoming or any political subdivision thereof. Ownership of the Bonds may result in other Wyoming tax consequences to certain taxpayers; we express no opinion regarding any such collateral consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. We express no opinion as to the title to, the description of, or the existence of any liens, charges or encumbranceson the Project, the 1990A Project or the Plant. Respectfully submitted, B-3 4815-1127-7331.6 APPENDIX D PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL D-1 APPENDIX D PROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL [LETTERHEAD OF CHAPMAN AND CUTLER LLP] [TO BE DATED THE EFFECTIVE DATE] The Bank of New York Mellon PacifiCorp Trust Company, N.A., 825 N.E.

Prior to the date hereof, payment of principal and purchase price of and interest on the Bonds was secured by a credit facility issued by Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (the “Existing Letter of Credit”). On the date hereof, the Company desires to deliver a Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit”) to be issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency (the “Bank”), for the benefit of the Trustee (defined below). We have examined the law and such documents and matters as we have deemed necessary to provide this opinion letter. As to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied upon the provisions of the Trust Indenture, dated as of November 1, 1995, as amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”) and related documents, and upon representations, including regarding the consent of the Owners, made to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. The terms used herein denoted by initial capitals and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings specified in the Indenture. D-2 Based upon the foregoing and as of the date hereof, we are of the opinion that: 1. The delivery of the Letter of Credit is authorized under the Loan Agreement and complies with the terms of the Loan Agreement. 2. The delivery of the Letter of Credit will not impair the validity under the Act of the Bonds and will not cause interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. At the time of the issuance of the Bonds, we rendered our approving opinion relating to, among other things, the validity of the Bonds and the exclusion from federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds. We have not been requested, nor have we undertaken, to make an independent investigation to confirm that the Company and the Issuer have complied with the provisions of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Tax Certificate (as defined in the Indenture) and other documents relating to the Bonds, or to review any other events that may have occurred since such approving opinion was rendered other than with respect to the Company in connection with (a) the execution and delivery of the First Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2002, and the First Supplemental Loan Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2002, described in our opinion dated February 20, 2002, (b) the delivery of an Irrevocable Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated as of February 20, 2002, (c) the delivery of an Irrevocable Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated September 15, 2004, (d) the delivery of the amendment to an earlier Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated November 30, 2005, (e) the delivery of the Existing Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated May 17, 2012 and (f) the delivery of the Letter of Credit described herein. Accordingly, we do not express any opinion with respect to the Bonds, except as described above. Our opinion represents our legal judgment based upon our review of the law and the facts that we deem relevant to render such opinion and is not a guarantee of a result. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to review or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.
