SUPPLEMENT, DATED MARCH 21, 2013, TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT, DATED JANUARY 14, 1988
The opinions of Chapman and Cutler delivered on January 14, 1988, stated that, subject to compliance by the Company and the
Issuer of each issue of Bonds with certain covenants, under then-existing law (a) interest on each issue of Bonds will not be 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 related Project or any person considered to be related to such person (within the
meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended) and (b) interest on the Bonds will not be treated as an
item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations. Such interest will be taken into account,
however, in computing an adjustment used in determining the alternative minimum tax. Such opinions of Bond Counsel were also to the
effect that under then-existing law the State of Wyoming imposed no income taxes which would be applicable to the Bonds. Such opinions
have not been updated as of the date hereof. In the opinions of Bond Counsel to be delivered in connection with the delivery of the
Replacement Letters of Credit, the delivery of the Replacement Letters of Credit will not cause the interest on the related 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.

Effective on March 26, 2013, and until March 26, 2015 with respect to the Gillette Bonds and the Sweetwater 1998A Bonds and until January 23,
2014 with respect to the Sweetwater 1988B Bonds, unless earlier terminated or extended, each issue of Bonds will be supported by a separate Irrevocable
Transferrable Direct Pay Letter of Credit (each, a “Replacement Letter of Credit”) each issued by
THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC
acting through its Connecticut branch. Under each Replacement Letter of Credit, the Trustee will be entitled to draw up to (a) an amount sufficient to pay
(i) the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the applicable Bonds or (ii) the portion of the purchase price of such Bonds corresponding to such unpaid
principal amount plus (b) an amount sufficient to pay (i) in the case of the Sweetwater 1988A Bonds (as defined herein), up to 294 days’ accrued interest on
such Bonds, and in the case of the Gillette Bonds and the Sweetwater 1988B Bonds (each as defined herein), up to 65 days’ accrued interest on such Bonds,
in each case 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
applicable Bonds corresponding to such accrued interest. The Replacement Letters of Credit will only be available to be drawn while the Bonds bear
interest at a rate other than a Fixed Interest Rate (as defined in the Indenture). Failure to pay the purchase price when due and payable is an event of default
under the Indenture.
The Bonds of each issue are currently supported by separate Letters of Credit issued by Barclays Bank PLC, New York Branch (each, an
“Existing Letter of Credit”). On March 26, 2013, each Replacement Letter of Credit will be delivered to the Trustee in substitution for the applicable
Existing Letter of Credit and thereafter the Bonds will not have the benefit of the Existing Letters of Credit.
The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds without coupons, initially in the denomination of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000
in excess thereof. Interest on Bonds of each issue will be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such issue of Bonds. As of the date hereof,
the Sweetwater 1988A Bonds bear interest at a CP Rate, the Sweetwater 1988B Bonds bear interest at a Daily Rate and the Gillette Bonds bear interest at a
Weekly Rate. The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”), will continue to act as a securities depository for the Bonds. The Bonds
are registered in the name of Cede & Co., as registered owner and nominee of DTC, and, except for the limited circumstances described herein, beneficial
owners of interests in the Bonds will not receive certificates representing their interests in the Bonds. Payments of principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds will be made through DTC and its Participants and disbursements of such payments to purchasers will be the responsibility of such
Participants.
Certain legal matters related to the delivery of the Replacement Letters of Credit will be passed upon by Chapman and Cutler LLP, Bond
Counsel to the Company. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Company by Paul J. Leighton, Esq., counsel to the Company.

GENERAL INFORMATION
THE OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JANUARY 13, 1988, A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED
HERETO AS APPENDIX C (THE “ORIGINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT” AND, TOGETHER WITH THIS
SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT, THE “OFFICIAL STATEMENT”), WAS PREPARED IN
CONNECTION WITH THE OFFERING OF FIVE SEPARATE ISSUES OF BONDS RELATING TO THE
COMPANY. THIS SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT RELATES ONLY TO THE THREE ISSUES
OF BONDS DESCRIBED ON THE COVER PAGE HERETO.
THIS SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN COMPLETE
DESCRIPTIONS OF DOCUMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION WHICH IS SET FORTH IN THE
ORIGINAL OFFICAL STATEMENT, EXCEPT WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A CHANGE IN THE
DOCUMENTS OR MORE RECENT INFORMATION SINCE THE DATE OF THE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL
STATEMENT. THIS SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT SHOULD THEREFORE BE READ
ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORIGINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
This Supplement to Official Statement is provided to furnish certain information with
respect to the reoffering of three separate issues of revenue refunding bonds (collectively, the
“Bonds”) in the aggregate principal amount of $102,700,000, issued by the respective issuers
(individually, the “Issuer,” and collectively, the “Issuers”), as follows:
(i) $41,200,000 aggregate principal amount of City of Gillette, Campbell
County, Wyoming Customized Purchase Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds
(PacifiCorp Projects), Series 1988 (the “Gillette Bonds”);
(ii) $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Sweetwater County, Wyoming
Customized Purchase Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (PacifiCorp Projects),
Series 1988A (the “Sweetwater 1988A Bonds”); and
(iii) $11,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Sweetwater County, Wyoming
Customized Purchase Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (PacifiCorp Project),
Series 1988B (the “Sweetwater 1988B Bonds”).
Each issue of the Bonds was issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of January 1,
1988 (individually, an “Indenture,” and collectively, the “Indentures”), between the respective
Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (successor in interest to The
First National Bank of Chicago), as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The proceeds from the sale of the
Bonds were loaned to PacifiCorp (the “Company”) pursuant to the terms of a separate Loan
Agreement for each issue of the Bonds, each dated as of January 1, 1988 (individually, an
“Agreement,” and collectively, the “Agreements”), each between the respective Issuer and the
Company. Under the Agreement, the Company is unconditionally obligated to pay amounts
sufficient to provide for payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
2
(the “Loan Payments”) and for payment of the purchase price of the Bonds. The proceeds of the
Bonds, together with certain other moneys of the Company, were used for the purposes set forth
in the Original Official Statement.
The Bonds of each issue contain substantially the same terms and provisions as, but will
be entirely separate from, the Bonds of any other issue. The Bonds of one issue will not be
payable from or entitled to any revenues delivered to the Trustee in respect of Bonds of any other
issue. The mechanism for determining the interest rate may result in a rate for the Bonds of one
issue different from that of the Bonds of any other issue. Redemption of the Bonds of one issue
may be made in the manner described in the Official Statement without redemption of any other
issue, and a default in respect of the Bonds of one issue will not of itself constitute a default in
respect of the Bonds of any other issue; however, the same occurrence may constitute a default
with respect to the Bonds of all issues.
The Bonds of each issue, together with premium, if any, and interest thereon, are
limited and not general, obligations of the applicable Issuer not constituting or giving rise
to a pecuniary liability of the applicable 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 applicable Revenues (as defined in the applicable Indenture and which includes
moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit) and other moneys pledged therefor under the
applicable Indenture, and shall be a valid claim of the respective holders thereof only
against the applicable Bond Fund (as defined in the applicable Indenture), Revenues and
other moneys held by the Trustee as part of the applicable Trust Estate (as defined in the
applicable Indenture). The Issuers shall not be obligated to pay the purchase price of any
of the Bonds from any source.
No recourse 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 any Indenture, against any past,
present or future officer or employee of any Issuer, or any incorporator, officer, director or
member of any successor corporation, as such, either directly, or through any 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 each Indenture and the issuance of
any of the Bonds.
The Company has exercised its right under the Agreement and the Indenture to terminate
the three separate Letters of Credit, each dated May 16, 2012 (individually, an “Existing Letter
of Credit” and collectively, the “Existing Letters of Credit”) and issued by Barclays Bank PLC,
New York Branch (the “Prior Bank”), with respect to each issue of Bonds, each of which has
supported payment of the principal, interest and purchase price of the applicable Bonds since the
date the Existing Letters of Credit were issued. Pursuant to the Indentures, the Company has
elected to replace each Existing Letter of Credit with a separate Irrevocable Transferrable Direct
Pay Letter of Credit (individually, the “Letter of Credit,” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”)
to be issued by The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, a bank organized under the laws of Scotland,
acting through its Connecticut branch (the “Bank”). The three Letters of Credit will be delivered
3
to the Trustee on March 26, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) and, after such date, the Bonds will not
have the benefit of the Existing Letters of Credit.
With respect to the Bonds of each issue, the Trustee will be entitled to draw under the
related Letter of Credit up to (a) an amount sufficient to pay (i) the outstanding unpaid principal
amount of the applicable Bonds or (ii) the portion of the purchase price of such Bonds
corresponding to such unpaid principal amount plus (b) an amount sufficient to pay (i) in the
case of the Sweetwater 1988A Bonds, up to 294 days’ accrued interest on such Bonds, and in the
case of the Gillette Bonds and the Sweetwater 1988B Bonds, up to 65 days’ accrued interest on
such Bonds (in each case 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 applicable Bonds corresponding
to such accrued interest. Each Letter of Credit will only be available to be drawn on with respect
to related Bonds bearing interest at a rate other than a Fixed Interest Rate (as defined in the
applicable Indenture).
After the date of delivery of the Letters of Credit, the Company is permitted under the
Agreements and the Indentures 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
Agreements and Indentures 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
Credit Facility then in effect. See “THE LETTERS OF CREDIT” and the Official Statement
under the caption “THE BONDS —Purchase of Bonds.”
Prior to the delivery of the Letters of Credit, the Sweetwater 1988A Bonds were bearing
interest at a CP Rate, the Sweetwater 1988B Bonds were bearing interest at a Daily Interest Rate,
the Gillette Bonds were bearing interest at a Weekly Interest Rate. Following the delivery of the
Letters of Credit, the Sweetwater 1988A Bonds will continue to bear interest at a CP Rate,
Sweetwater 1988B Bonds will continue to bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate and the Gillette
Bonds will continue to bear interest at a Weekly Interest Rate; each subject to the right of the
Company to cause the interest rate on the Bonds of each issue to be converted to other interest
rate determination methods as described in the Official Statement.
Reference is hereby made to the Bonds in their entirety for the detailed provisions
thereof.
Brief descriptions of the Issuers, the Bonds, the Letters of Credit, the Reimbursement
Agreements, the Agreements and the Indentures are included in this Supplement to Official
Statement, including the Original Official Statement attached as Appendix C hereto. Information

applicable Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to draw on the applicable Replacement Letter of
Credit, if it is then in effect, to the extent of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
outstanding, plus up to

REMARKETING AGENT
General. Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Remarketing Agent”), will continue as remarketing
agent for the Bonds. Subject to certain conditions, the Remarketing Agent has agreed to
determine the rates 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 Indentures 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 each Indenture and Remarketing Agreement, for each issue of
Bonds, 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 applicable Bonds (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
13
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 opinions of Chapman and Cutler delivered on January 14, 1988 stated that, subject to
compliance by the Company and the applicable Issuer with certain covenants made to satisfy
pertinent requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, under then-existing law, interest
on the Bonds will not be 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 related project or facilities or any person considered to be
related to such person (within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1954), and the interest on the Bonds will not be treated as an item of tax preference in
computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and corporations (because the Prior
Bonds were issued prior to August 8, 1986). Such interest will be taken into account, however,
in computing an adjustment used in determining the alternative minimum tax for certain
corporations. As indicated in such opinions, the failure to comply with certain of such covenants
of the applicable 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 for each series of the Bonds in connection with
delivery of the Letters of Credit, in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix D, to the
effect that the delivery of the Letters of Credit (i) is authorized under and complies with the
terms of the applicable Agreement and (ii) will not impair the validity under the Act of the
applicable Bonds or will not cause the interest on the applicable 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 any factual or legal matters
14
relating to its opinions dated January 14, 1988 subsequent to its issuance other than with respect
to the Company in connection with (a) with regard to the Sweetwater 1988A Bonds, the issuance
and delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility, described in its opinion dated April 24, 2002,
(b) with regard to the Sweetwater 1988B Bonds, (i) the conversion of the interest rate on such
Bonds from a CP Rate to a Daily Interest Rate, described in its opinion dated January 26, 1996
and its opinion dated February 28, 1996 and (ii) the issuance and delivery of an Alternate Credit
Facility, described in its opinion dated August 23, 2001, (c) with regard to the Gillette Bonds, the
conversion of the interest rate on such Bonds from a CP Rate to a Weekly Interest Rate and the
delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility, described in its opinion dated May 26, 1999 and its
opinions dated June 7, 1999, (d) with regard to each issue of Bonds, (i) the delivery of earlier
Letters of Credit described in its three opinions, each dated September 15, 2004, (ii) the delivery
of an amendment to such earlier Letters of Credit, described in its three opinions, each dated
November 30, 2005, (e) with regard to each issue of Bonds, the delivery of the Existing Letters
of Credit, described in its three opinions, each dated May 16, 2012, and (f) with regard to each
issue of Bonds, the delivery of the Letters of Credit described herein. The opinions delivered in
connection with delivery of the Letters of Credit are not to be interpreted as a reissuance of any
of the original approving opinions 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 ISSUERS MAKE NO REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO AND
HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED IN THE PREPARATION OF ANY PORTION OF THIS
SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

APPENDIX C
OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JANUARY 13, 1988
The Bonds of each issue contain substantially the same terms and provisions as, but will be
entirely separate from, the Bonds of the other issues. The Bonds of one issue will not be payable from
or entitled to any revenues delivered to the Trustee in respect of Bonds of the other issues. The
mechanism for determining the interest rate may result in a rate for the Bonds of one issue different
from that of the Bonds of the other issues. Redemption of the Bonds of one issue may be made in
the manner described below without redemption of the other issues, and a default in respect of the
Bonds of one issue will not of itself constitute a default in respect of the Bonds of the other issues;
however, the same occurrence may constitute a default with respect to the Bonds of more than one
issue.
Brief descriptions of the Issuers, the Bonds, the Letters of Credit, the method by which the interest
rate on the Bonds is changed, the Agreements and the Indentures are included in this Official
Statement, including Appendix F hereto. Information regarding the business, properties and financial
condition of the Company is included in Appendix A attached hereto. Brief descriptions of The
Sumitomo Bank, Limited, The Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited, Deutsche Bank AG and National
Westminster Bank PLC are included as Appendices B, C, D and E, respectively, hereto. The
descriptions herein of the Agreements, the Indentures and the Letters of Credit are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such documents, and the descriptions herein of the Bonds are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the forms thereof and the information with respect thereto included

Interest on the Bonds
CP Rate.The Bonds shall initially bear interest at a CP Rate not exceeding 12% per annum,
which is, with respect to each Bond for a CP Period, an interest rate on such Bond established as
hereafter described. Such interest will be payable on the CP Date for such Bond. “CP Date” means,
with respect to each Bond, the day next succeeding the last day of a CP Period. “CP Period” means,
with respect to each Bond, each consecutive period (one to no more than 2’70 days, or one to 365 or
366 days, as applicable to a particular year, as determined by the Company, as described under the
caption “THE LETTERS OF CREDIT-Substitute Letter of Credit”) established pursuant to the Indenture
during which such Bond shall hear interest at a particular CP Rate. “CP Date Parameters” means
the parameters stated in Exhibit E to the Indenture regarding allowable CP Periods. On the date
interest starts to accrue on the Bonds at a CP Rate and on each CP Date thereafter, except any CP
Date that is a Conversion Date, the Remarketing Agent shall determine for each CP Period allowable
under the CP Date Parameters the interest rate which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent,
when borne by a Bond having such a CP Period would be the minimum interest rate necessary to
enable the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bond on such date at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof.
Each Bond shall bear interest during the CP Period selected for such Bond at a rate per annum
equal to the interest rate determined as described above for such CP Period, or, in the event such
Bond is not remarketed, the CP Rate shall be the CP Rate equal to the interest rate for the shortest
allowable CP Period under the CP Date Parameters. If for any reason a CP Rate is not established
6
by the Remarketing Agent or the rate established by the Remarketing Agent is held to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court of law with respect to any CP Period, the CP Rate for such CP Period
shall equal the Floating Interest Index (as defined in the Indenture) determined by the Indexing Agent
(as defined in the Indenture) as of the date such CP Rate was to have been determined.Conversion to Alternative Rates.The method of determining interest payable on the Bonds
may be converted from a CP Rate to another Floating Interest Rate (a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly
Interest Rate or a Monthly Interest Rate), a Tender Interest Rate or a Fixed Interest Rate (as each
of those terms is described in Appendix F hereto) or from any such method of determination to any
other method of determination under the conditions described below under the caption “CONVERSION
OF RATE.” The date on which the method of determining the interest on the Bonds is converted to
another method is a “Conversion Date.” Certain terms applicable to the Bonds at such time as the
Bonds are not bearing interest at a CP Rate are described in Appendix F hereto.Payment and Accrual of Interest.The Bonds shall bear interest from and including the date
of first authentication and delivery thereof until payment of the principal or redemption price thereof
shall have been made or provided for in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, whether
at maturity, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, at the lesser of (i) the Maximum Rate (as
hereafter defined) or (ii) the rate determined as described under the caption “‘&E BONDS-Interest
on the Bonds” and in Appendix F hereto. “Maximum Rate” means (i) while a Letter of Credit (or an
Alternate Credit Facility, if applicable) is outstanding, the lesser of 20% per annum or the Interest
Coverage Rate and (ii) at all other times, 20% per annum. “Interest Coverage Rate” means the rate
specified in the Letter of Credit (or an Alternate Credit Facility, if applicable), initially 12%, which
is used to determine the maximum amount that can be drawn to pay interest on the Bonds (or the
portion of the purchase price corresponding to accrued interest) (the “Interest Component”) for the
number of days specified in the Letter of Credit (the “Interest Coverage Period”), initially 294 days.
Interest accrued on the Bonds during each Interest Period (as hereafter described) shall be paid
to the Owner as of the Record Date (as hereafter described) on the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date and, while the Bonds bear a Floating Interest Rate, computed on the basis of a year of 365 or
366 days, as applicable to a particular year, for the actual number of days elapsed and, while the Bonds
bear a Fixed Interest Rate or a Tender Interest Rate, computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
consisting of twelve 30.day months.
“Authorized Denomination” means (i) $100,000 while the Bonds bear interest at a Floating Interest
Rate and (ii) $5,000 while the Bonds bear interest at a Tender Interest Rate or a Fixed Interest Rate
and, in all eases, integral multiples thereof.
“Business Day” means a day on which banks located in the city in which the principal office of
the Bank (or of the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) is located and banks
located in the city in which the principal office of the Trustee is located are not required or authorized
by law to remain closed and are not closed, and on which The New York Stock Exchange and the
principal office of the Remarketing Agent are not closed.
“Interest Accrual Date” means, with respect to any Interest Period (i) during which interest on
the Bonds accrues at a CP Rate, the last day of the applicable CP Period, (ii) during which interest
on the Bonds accrues at a Daily Interest Rate, the last day of the calendar month, (iii) during which
interest on the Bonds accrues at the Weekly Interest Rate or the Monthly Interest Rate (as hereafter
described), the day next preceding the first Business Day of the next succeeding calendar month and
(iv) during which interest on the Bonds accrues at a Tender Interest Rate or at a Fixed Interest Rate,
the day next preceding January 1 and July 1 of each year.
“Interest Payment Date” means (a) during such time as the Bonds bear a Daily Interest Rate,
the fifth day after the Interest Accrual Date, (b) during such time as the Bonds bear interest
determined by any other method, the day next succeeding the Interest Accrual Date and (c) any
Conversion Date.
,.-“Interest Period” means the period from and including the date interest starts to accrue on the
Bonds pursuant to a particular method of calculating interest to and including the next succeeding

be purchased at a purchase price equal to the principal amount thereof upon delivery of the Bond
(with all necessary endorsements) to the Remarketing Agent. If the Owner elects not to have his Bond
purchased on such CP Date, the Owner shall give telephonic or written notice to the Remarketing
Agent not later than 1030 a.m., New York, New York time, on the Business Day next preceding the
CP Date stating that the Owner elects not to have his Bond purchased on such CP Date and stating

and upon receipt of appropriate information confirmed in writing from the Remarketing Agent, the
Trustee shall issue a new Bond to such Owner reflecting the next CP Period in exchange for the Bond
then held by such Owner. Bonds to be purchased which are not delivered by the Owner thereof shall
be deemed to have been delivered by the Owner thereof for purchase and to have been purchased,
provided that there have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee moneys in accordance with the
Indenture in an amount sufficient to pay the purchase price of such Bonds. Moneys deposited with
the Trustee for such purchase of Bonds shall be held in trust in a separate escrow account without
liability for interest thereon and shall be paid to the Owners of such Bonds upon presentation thereof.
The Trustee shall on the last day of each month give written notice to the Company whether Bonds
have not been delivered, and upon direction to do so by the Company, the Trustee shall give notice
by mail to each Owner whose Bonds are deemed to have been purchased that such moneys are on
deposit at the principal office of the Trustee and that interest on such Bonds ceased to accrue on the
applicable CP Date.While Bonds Bear Alternative Rates.While a Bond bears a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly
Interest Rate, a Monthly Interest Rate or a Tender Interest Rate, such Bond will be purchased on
the demand of the Owner thereof, as described in Appendix F hereto.Funds for Pun9m.se ofBonds.On the date on which Bonds delivered to the Remarketing Agent
or the Trustee for purchase as specified above under “WE BONDS-Purchase of Bonds-Purchase
While Bonds Bear CP Rate” or as described in Appendix F hereto are to be purchased, such Bonds
shall be purchased with immediately available funds at a purchase price equal to the principal amount
thereof, plus accrued interest, if any. Funds for the payment of such purchase price shall be derived
solely from the following sources in the order of priority indicated, neither the Trustee nor the
Remarketing Agent being obligated to use funds from any other source:
(a)Available Moneys (as hereinafter defined) directed by the Company to be used to purchase
Bonds as described in the Indenture;
Co) proceeds of the sale of such Bonds by the Remarketing Agent;
(c)Available Moneys or moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility,
as the case may be, for the purchase of defeased Bonds;
(d) proceeds of a drawing under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the
case may be, for such purchase; and
(e) any other moneys furnished by the Company for purchase of the Bonds;

only from the sources described in (b) and (c) above, in such order of priority.
“Available Moneys” means (a) during such time as a Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit
Facility which does not consist of first mortgage bonds of the Company is outstanding, (i) moneys
on deposit in trust with the Trustee for a period of 123 days prior to and during which no petition

or is pending, (ii) proceeds of the issuance of refunding bonds if, in the written opinion of nationally
recognized counsel experienced in bankruptcy matters and acceptable to the Issuer and the Trustee
(which opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the time of the deposit of such proceeds
with the Trustee), the deposit and use of such proceeds will not constitute a voidable preference under
Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the event the Issuer or the Company were to
become debtors under the United States Bankruptcy Code and (iii) any other money (x) approved in
writing by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), if the Bonds are then rated by Moody’s, and
Standard and Poor’s Corporation (“S&P”), if the Bonds are then rated by S&P and (y) the application
of which will not, in the written opinion of nationally recognized counsel experienced in bankruptcy
matters and acceptable to the Issuer and the Trustee (which opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee
at or prior to the time of such application), constitute a voidable preference under Section 544 or 547
of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the event the Issuer or the Company were to become debtors
under the United States Bankruptcy Code, and(b) at any time that a Letter of Credit or an Alternate
Credit Facility is not outstanding, or if an Alternate Credit Facility consisting of first mortgage bonds
of the Company is outstanding, any moneys on deposit with the Trustee and proceeds from the
investment thereof.Remarketing of BondsWhile the Bonds bear interest at a CP Rate, the Remarketing Agent shall offer for sale and use
its best efforts to remarket any Bond to be purchased on a CP Date on such CP Date, any such
remarketing to be made at a price equal to the principal amount thereof and for such CP Periods
as are available within the CP Date Parameters. In the event more than one prospective purchaser
has offered to purchase a Bond on a CP Date, the Remarketing Agent shall remarket the Bond to
the purchaser from among such prospective purchasers who has selected the next CP Period for such
Bond which will, in the Remarketing Agent’s judgment, taking into consideration the overall yield
curve determined as of such CP Date and projected market conditions during the 270 days or 365 or
366 days, as applicable to a particular year (depending on the maximum length of the then current
Interest Coverage Period), next succeeding such CP Date, be the most beneficial for the financing
program while the Bonds bear interest at a CP Rate. If a Bond cannot be remarketed, the CP Date
for such Bond shall be the next Business Day. While Bonds bear a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly
Interest Rate, a Monthly Interest Rate or a Tender Interest Rate, the Remarketing Agent will offer
for sale and use its best efforts to remarket Bonds to be purchased on the dates and at the purchase
prices as described in this Official Statement.

be, is outstanding, there shall be no sales of Bonds, if, in either case, there shall have occurred and

the caption “THE INDENTURES-Defaults” of which the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee have
actual knowledge.Limited ObligationsThe Bonds, together with the premium, if any, and interest thereon, are limited, and not general,

Mandatory Redemption of Bonds”While the Bonds hear interest at a Tender Interest Rate or at a Fixed Interest Rate, the Bonds
are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part at the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption within 180 days following a “Determination of Taxability” as
described below. The Bonds shall he redeemed either in whole or in part in such principal amount
that the interest payable on the Bonds remaining outstanding after sxh redemption would not be
included in the gross income of any Owner thereof, other than an Owner of a Bond who is a “substantial
user” of the Facilities (as hereafter defined) or a “related person” within the meaning of Section
103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the “1954 Code”).
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 includible
in the gross income of an Owner of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) (other than an Owner who is a “substantial user” or “related
person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code). 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 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 Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be), 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 Agreement and 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 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 Agreement, which failure results in a Determination of Taxability.
A DETERMINATION OF TAXABILITY MAY NOT OCCUR FOR A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD
OF TIME AFTER INTEREST FIRST BECOMES INCLUDIBLE IN THE GROSS INCOME OF
OWNERS OF THE BONDS. IN SUCH EVENT. THE TAX LIABILITY OF OWNERS OF THE
BONDS MAY EXTEND TO YEARS FOR WHICH INTEREST WAS RECEIVED ON THE BONDS
AND FOR WHICH THE RELEVANT STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS NOT YET RUN.
MOREOVER, OWNERS OF BONDS WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL INTEREST,
PREMIUM OR OTHER PAYMENT TO COMPENSATE THEM FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES,
INTEREST AND PENALTIES WHICH MAY BE ASSESSED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
INTEREST.
.1\Optional Redemption of Bonds -”(a) During any CP Period, the Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption on any Business
Day by the Issuer, in whole or in part (and if in part, in an Authorized Denomination), at the direction
of the Company (but only with the timely written consent of the Bank or of the Obligor on the Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be), at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, on
30 days’ prior notice from the Company to the Issuer and the Trustee.
(b) While the Bonds bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly Interest Rate or a Monthly
Interest Rate, the Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption on any Interest Payment Date by
the Issuer, in whole or in part (and if in part, in an Authorized Denomination), at the direction of the
Company (but only with the timely written consent of the Bank or of the Obligor on the Alternate
10
Credit Facility, as the case may be), at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, with
30 days’ prior notice from the Company to the Issuer and the Trustee.
(e) While the Bonds bear interest at a Fixed Interest Rate or at a Tender I?terest Rate, the Bonds
shall be subject to optional redemption on any Interest Payment Date by the Issuer, in whole or in
part (and if in part, in an Authorized Denomination), at the direction of the Company (but only with
the timely written consent of the Bank or of the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case
may be), with 30 days’ prior notice from the Company to the Issuer and the Trustee; provided, however,
that the Bonds shall not be redeemable during the No-Call Period shown below, which shall begin
on the first day of the Fixed Rate Period or Tender Period. On and during the six months after the
Interest Payment Date that ends the No-Call Period (or the next succeeding Interest Payment Date,
if the No-Call Period does not end on an Interest Payment Date), the Bonds shall be redeemable at
the percentage of their principal amount shown in the Initial Redemption Price column plus interest
accrued to the redemption date. The redemption price shall decline semiannually by the amount shown
in the SemiAnnual Reduction in Redemption Price column until the Bonds shall be redeemable without
premium in the year or portion of a year indicated in the No Premium column and in any later years
or periods in the Fixed Rate Period or Tender Period.

If the Fixed Rate Period or Tender Period is less than six months, the Bonds will not be redeemable
pursuant to this subparagraph. While a Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility is outstanding,
the Company may only cause a redemption of Bonds pursuant to this subparagraph which would
require a payment of a premium if on the date of the giving of notice of redemption the Trustee has
Available Moneys in the Bond Fund or can draw under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be, in an amount sufficient to pay such premium due on the date of redemption.
The initial Letter of Credit does not provide for drawings in respect of the amount of any such
redemption premium.
If the interest rate borne by the Bonds is converted pursuant to the Indenture, and if in connection
with such conversion the Company directs in writing to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent
pursuant to the Indenture that the foregoing schedule of premiums and No-Call Periods be revised
and specifies the new premiums and No-Call Periods, the foregoing schedule of premiums and No-Call
Periods shall be revised in accordance with such direction of the Company.
(d) At any time, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer in whole or in part (and
if in part, in an Authorized Denomination), at the direction of the Company (but only with the timely
written consent of the Bank if required by the Letter of Credit or, if applicable, of the Obligor on
the Alternate Credit Facility if required by such Alternate Credit Facility), with 30 days’ prior notice
from the Company to the Issuer and the Trustee, at the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
to the redemption date, but without premium, if the Company shall deliver a certificate stating that
one of the following events has occurred:
(i) the Company shall have determined that the continued operation of the Project (as defined
in the Indenture) is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason; or
(ii) the Company shall have determined that the continued operation of the pollution control
facilities or the solid waste disposal facilities, as the case may be (the “Facilities”), at the steam
11
electric generating plant of which the Project is a part 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 Facilities, or other liabilities
or burdens with respect to the Facilities or the operation thereof, (B) changes in technology, in
environmental standards or legal requirements or in the economic availability of materials,
supplies, equipment or labor or (C) destruction of or damage to all or part of the Facilities; or
(iii) all or substantially all of the Facilities or the Project shall have been condemned or taken
by eminent domain; or
(iv) the operation of the Facilities or the Project 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.Redemption Upon Expiration or Terminationof Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit FacilityExcept for Bonds redeemed as described under “THE BONDS-Redemption Upon Conversion,”
the Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption by the Issuer, in whole, at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, on the earlier of (i) the Interest Payment Date next

Credit Facility is outstanding, the Company may only cause a redemption of Bonds pursuant to this
paragraph which would require a payment of a premium if on the date of the giving of notice of
redemption the Trustee can draw under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the
case may be, in an amount sufficient to pay such premium due on the date of redemption. The initial
Letter of Credit does not provide for drawings in respect of the amount of any such redemption
premium.
An Owner may direct the Issuer not to redeem any Bond or Bonds owned by it by delivering
to the Trustee at its principal office on or before the third Business Day (sixth Business Day if the
Bonds are to be converted to a Tender Interest Rate or a Fixed Interest Rate) preceding the date
fixed for such redemption an instrument or instruments in writing executed by such Owner which,
among other things, (i) specifies the numbers and denominations of the Bonds held by such Owner,
(ii) specifically acknowledges each of the matters set forth in a notice given by the Trustee, and (iii)
directs the Issuer not to redeem such Bonds. Any such instrument delivered to the Trustee shall be
irrevocable with respect to the redemption for which such instrument is delivered and shall be binding
upon subsequent Owners of such Bonds, including Bonds issued in exchange therefor or upon the
registration of the transfer thereof.Denomination RedemptionThe Bonds or portions thereof are subject to mandatory redemption by the Issuer on the Interest
Payment Date upon which the Bonds begin to accrue interest at a Floating Interest Rate following
conversion from a Tender Interest Rate or a Fixed Interest Rate in such amounts so that all
outstanding Bonds are in Authorized Denominations.Purchase by Company in Lieu of RedemptionThe Company shall have the right to purchase or cause to be purchased Bonds to be redeemed
as described above under ‘THE BONDS-Redemption Upon Expiration or Termination of Letter of
Credit or Alternate Credit Facility,”“THE BONDS-Redemption Upon Conversion” and “THE
BONDS-Denomination Redemption” at a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds
to be so purchased plus accrued interest, if any, or in the case of a purchase on conversion from a
Fixed Interest Rate or a Tender Interest Rate, ‘the redemption price for redemption of such Bonds
on the Conversion Date as describedabove under(c) of “THE BONDS-Optional Redemption of Bonds.”
Moneys for the payment of the purchase price shall be derived, in the following order of priority, from:
(i) Available Moneys furnished by the Company for such purpose, (ii) proceeds of the sale of such
Bonds, (iii) Available Moneys or moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility,
as the case may be, for the purchase of defeased Bonds, (iv) moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit
or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, for such purpose and (v) any other moneys
furnished by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that funds for the payment of the
purchase price of defeased Bonds shall be derived only from the sources described in (ii) and (iii) above,
in such order of priority; and provided further that if in connection with such redemption, the Letter
of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility which does not consist of first mortgage bonds of the Company
is replaced with an Alternate Credit Facility consisting of first mortgage bonds of the Company or
is not being replaced by any other Alternate Credit Facility, moneys for the payment of the purchase
price of the Bonds may not be derived from (ii) above. Bonds to be so purchased pursuant to the
Indenture on the date fixed for redemption of such Bonds which are not delivered on such date will
nonetheless be deemed to have been delivered for purchase by the Owners thereof and to have been
purchased pursuant to the Indenture. The Trustee shall hold moneys for such purchase of Bonds,
without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the former Owner of the Bond on such date
of purchase, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such moneys for any claim of whatever
nature on such Owner’s part under the Indenture or on, or with respect to, such Bond. Any moneys
so deposited with and held by the Trustee not so applied to the payment of Bonds within six months
after such date of purchase shall be paid by the Trustee to the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be) to the extent of any amount payable under the Reimbursement
Agreement (as defined below) and the balance to the Company upon the written direction of the
Company, and thereafter the former Owners shall be entitled to look only to the Company for payment,
13
and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid, and the Company shall not be liable for any interest
thereon and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money.Procedure for and Notice of RedemptionIf less than all of the Bonds shall be called for redemption, the particular Bonds or portions thereof
to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, in such manner as the Trustee in its sole discretion
may deem proper, in the principal amount designated by the Company or otherwise as required by
the Indenture. 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
denomination in which Bonds are then authorized to be issued at the time of such redemption. 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. Upon presentation and surrender
of such Bonds at the place or places of payment such Bonds shall be paid and redeemed. Notice of
redemption shall be given by mail as provided in the Indenture, at least 10 days prior to the redemption
date, provided that the failure to duly give notice by mailing to any Owner, or any defect therein,
shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any other of the Bonds.
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 shall state that such redemption shall be 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 Issuer will not redeem such Bonds and the Trustee shall give notice, in the manner in which the
notice of redemption was given, that such redemption will not take place.THE LE’ITERS OF CREDITThe following is a brief description of each Letter of Credit and certain of the terms common
to the Letters of Credit and the agreements dated as of January 1,1933 between the Company and
the Banks pursuant to which such Letters of Credit are issued (individually, a “Reimbursement
Agreement” and, collectively, the “Reimbursement Agreements,” which term shall also include the
document pursuant to which an Alternate Credit Facility is issued). All references in this description
are to the documents or the Letters of Credit (or Alternate Credit Facilities) corresponding to the
respective issues of Bonds.
The Letter of Credit will be an irrevocable obligation of the Bank which will expire at the close
of the Bank’s business on January 14,1993, unless earlier terminated or otherwise extended, to pay
to the Trustee, upon request and in accordance with the terms thereof, up to (a) an amount equal
to the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds to be used (i) to pay the principal of the Bonds, (ii)
to enable the Remarketing Agent to pay the portion of the purchase price equal to the principal amount
of Bonds delivered to it for purchase and not remarketed, (iii) to enable the Trustee to pay the portion
of the purchase price equal to the principal amount of Bonds delivered to it for purchase, (iv) to enable
the Trustee to pay the purchase price of Bonds not retained by an Owner on a CP Date or(v) to enable
the Company to purchase Bonds in lieu of redemption under certain circumstances, plus (b) an amount
equal to 294 days’ accrued interest on the Bonds (calculated at a rate of 12% per annum and on the
basis of a year of 365 days), to be used (i) to pay interest on the Bonds or (ii) to enable the Trustee
or the Remarketing Agent to pay the portion of the purchase price of the Bonds properly delivered
for purchase equal to the accrued interest, if any, on such Bonds. The Company is permitted under
the Agreement and the Indenture to secure an extension of the Letter of Credit beyond the expiration
date of the then current Letter of Credit, but the Bank is under no obligation to agree to such an
extension.
The Bank’s obligation under the Letter of Credit will be reduced to the extent of any drawings
thereunder. However, with respect to a drawing by the Trustee to enable the Remarketing Agent
or the Trustee to pay the purchase price of Bonds delivered for purchase and not remarketed, such
amounts shall be immediately reinstated upon reimbursement. With respect to a drawing by the
Trustee for the payment of interest on the Bonds, the amount that may be drawn under the Letter
of Credit will be automatically reinstated to the extent of such drawing as of the close of business
14
on the ninth Business Day following such drawing unless the Bank shall have notified the Trustee
within nine Business Days after such drawing that the Company has failed to reimburse the Bank
or to cause it to be reimbursed for such drawing.
Upon an acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds due to an event of default under the Indenture,
the Trustee will be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit, if it is then in effect, to the extent of the
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding, plus up to 294 days’ interest accrued and unpaid
on the Bonds, less amounts paid in respect of principal or interest for which the Letter of Credit has
not been reinstated as described above.
Upon the earliest of (i) the close of business on January 14, 1993, unless otherwise extended
pursuant to an agreement between the Bank and the Company, (ii) the making of a final drawing under
the Letter of Credit, or (iii) the date the Trustee surrenders the Letter of Credit to the Bank for
cancellation, the Letter of Credit shall expire (the “Expiration Date”). The Trustee agrees to surrender
the Letter of Credit to the Bank, and not to make any drawing, after (i) 4:OO pm. local time in the
city of the office of the Bank that will issue the Letter of Credit on the Expiration Date, (ii) there are
no Bonds outstanding under the Indenture, (iii) the first Business Day after the conversion of the
interest rate on the Bonds to a Fixed Interest Rate, or (iv) a Substitute Letter of Credit or Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be, has been delivered to the Trustee.Alternate Credit FacilityAt any time (with notice to the Bank or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case
may be) the Company may, at its option, provide for the delivery to the Trustee of an Alternate Credit
Facility to replace the Letter of Credit or the Alternate Credit Facility then in effect, as the case may
be. An Alternate Credit Facility may have an expiration date earlier than the maturity of the Bonds,
but in no event shall such Alternate Credit Facility have an expiration date earlier than one year from
the date of its delivery. The Company must furnish to the Trustee(i) an opinion of nationally recognized
Bond Counsel (“Bond Counsel”) stating that the delivery of such Alternate Credit Facility IS authorized
under the Agreement and complies with the terms thereof and will not cause the interest on the Bonds
to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and
(ii) written evidence from Moody’s, if the Bonds are then rated by Moody’s, or S&P, if the Bonds are
then rated by S&P, in case to the effect that such rating agency has reviewed the proposed
Alternate Credit Facility nd that the delivery of the proposed Alternate Credit Facility will not, by
itself, result in a withdrawal of its rating or ratings of the Bonds.
The Company may, however, at any time, provide for the delivery on any Business Day to the
Trustee of an Alternate Credit Facility where the above-described evidence from Moody’s or S&P’s
is not received, provided that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the
Indexing Agent and the Bank (or the Obliger on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be)
a notice which (A) states (x) the effective date of the Alternate Credit Facility to be so provided and
(y) the termination date of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility which is to terminate (which
termination date shall not be prior to the effective date of the Alternate Credit Facility to be so
provided), (B) describes the terms of the Alternate Credit Facility,(C) directs the Trustee to give notice
of the call of the Bonds for redemption, in whole, on the Business Day next preceding the termination
date of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility which is to terminate (which Business Day
shall be not less than 30 days from the date of receipt by the Trustee of the notice from the Company
specified above), in accordance with the Indenture and(D) directs the Trustee, after taking such actions
as are required to be taken to provide moneys due under the Indenture in respect of the Bonds or
the purchase thereof, to surrender the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may
be, which is to terminate, to the Obligor thereon on the next Business Day after the later of the effective
date of the Alternate Credit Facility to be provided and the termination date of the Letter of Credit
or Alternate Credit Facility which is to terminate and to thereupon deliver any and all instruments
which may be reasonably requested by such Obliger. The Company shall furnish to the Trustee an
opinion of Bond Counsel satisfying the requirement of the next preceding paragraph in connection
with such delivery.
After the Interest Payment Date on which Bonds are to be redeemed as described in clause (i)in the first paragraph under “THE BONDS-Redemption Upon Expiration or Termination of Letter
15
of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility,” the Company may, but is not obligated to, provide for delivery
of an Alternate Credit Facility for payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The Company
shall furnish to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel satisfying the requirement of the second
preceding paragraph in connection with such delivery.
Substitute Letter of Credit
The Company may, at its option, at any time provide for the delivery to the Trustee of a Substitute
Letter of Credit. No Substitute Letter of Credit may be delivered which:
(i) so long as the interest rate borne by the Bonds is a CP Rate, reduces the Interest
Coverage Period to a period shorter than 294 days (during such time as CP Periods can be from
one to not more than 270 days) or 389 or 390 days, as applicable to a particular year (during such
time as CP Periods can be from one to 365 or 366 days, as applicable to a particular year);
(ii)so long as the interest rate borne by the Bonds is a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly Interest
Rate or a Monthly Interest Rate, reduces the Interest Coverage Period to a period shorter than
65 days;
(iii)so long as the interest rate borne by the Bonds is a Tender Interest Rate or a Fixed
Interest Rate, reduces the Interest Coverage Period to a period shorter than 208 days;
(iv)decreases the Interest Coverage Rate below 12%; or
(v)increases the Interest Coverage Rate above the Maximum Rate.
The Company may, at its option, at any time direct in writing the Trustee and the Remarketing
Agent to allow the selection of CP Periods of from one to no more than 365 or 366 days, as applicable
to a particular year, or from one to no more than 270 days, but only if (for such time as CP Periods
can be from one to 365 or 366 days, as applicable to a particular year) the Company provides for the
delivery to the Trustee of a Substitute Letter of Credit which increases the Interest Coverage Period
to 389 or 390 days, as applicable to a particular year.
Termination of Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility
At any time, the Company may, at its option, provide for the termination on any Business Day
of the Letter of Credit or any Alternate Credit Facility then in effect. The Company must furnish to
the Trustee (i) an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that the termination of the Letter of Credit or
Alternate Credit Facility is authorized under the Agreement and complies with the terms thereof and
will not eause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof
for purposes of federal income taxation and (ii) written evidence from Moody’s, if the Bonds are then
rated by Moody’s, or S&P, if the Bonds are then rated by S&P, in each case to the effect that such
rating agency has reviewed the proposed termination of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit
Facility and that such termination will not, by itself, result in a reduction or withdrawal of its rating
or ratings of the Bonds.
The Company may, however, at any time, at its option, provide for the termination on any Business
Day of the Letter of Credit or any Alternate Credit Facility then in effect when the above-described
evidence from Moody’s or S&P is not received, provided that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee,
the Remarketing Agent, the Indexing Agent and the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be) a notice which (A) states the termination date of the Letter of Credit
or Alternate Credit Facility which is to terminate, (B) directs the Trustee to give notice of the call
of the Bonds for redemption, in whole, no later than the fifth day next preceding the Business Day
next preceding the termination date of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility which is to
terminate (which Business Day shall be not less than 30 days from the date of receipt by the Trustee
of the notice from the Company specified above), in accordance with the Indenture and (C) directs
the Trustee, after taking such actions as are required to be taken to provide moneys due under the
Indenture in respect of the Bonds or the purchase thereof, to surrender the Letter of Credit or
Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, which is to terminate to the Obligor thereon on the next
Business Day after the termination date of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility to be
16
terminated and to thereupon deliver any and all instruments which may be reasonably requested by
such Obligor.
CONVERSION OF RATE
The Bonds of each issue will be independent of the others and a conversion to an Alternative
Rate with respect to one issue will not necessarily result in a conversion with respect to the other
issues; however, a conversion may occur with respect to more than one issue at the same time. The
Bonds of each issue contain substantially the same terms and provisions, and the following is a
summary of certain provisions common to the five issues. All references in this description are to the
documents, the Bonds or the Letter of Credit relating to each issue of Bonds.Conversion to Fixed Interest Rate, Tender Interest Rate ov Floating Interest Rates.The
interest rate borne by the Bonds (the type of interest rate in effect immediately prior to a conversion
being herein called the “Existing Rate”) shall be converted to a Fixed Interest Rate, a Tender Interest
Rate, a Tender Interest Rate with a Tender Period of different length than the then current Tender
Period or any of the Floating Interest Rates upon receipt by the Trustee of a written direction from
the Company specifying the specific method of interest accrual on the Bonds and the effective date
(which, if a Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility is outstanding, shall be a date at least
11 days prior to the Interest Payment Date next preceding the scheduled expiration date of the Letter
of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) of the conversion to such method of accrual,
specifying changes, if any, to the Bond redemption prices and No-Call Periods and, if applicable,
specifying the length of the Tender Period (which must be a period of six months or an integral multiple
thereof, provided that the first Tender Period may be less than such period but must end on the day
next preceding a January 1 or July 1). The Conversion Date must be (a) if the Existing Rate is a Floating
Interest Rate other than a CP Rate, a Business Day not less than 30 days from the date of receipt
by the Trustee of the written direction from the Company specified above or (b) if the Existing Rate
is a CP Rate, a Business Day not less than 30 days from the date of receipt by the Trustee of the
written direction from the Company specified above or (c) if the Existing Rate is a Tender Interest
Rate, a January 1 or July 1 not less than 20 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the written notice
specified above and not prior to the end of the No-Call Period for such Tender Period or (d) if the
Bonds then bear a Fixed Interest Rate, a January 1 or July 1 not less than 20 days after the receipt
by the Trustee of the written notice specified above and not prior to the end of the No-Call Period
for such Fixed Rate Period. The written direction shall be accompanied by a written opinion, addressed
to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Company, the Bank (or the Obligor on an Alternate Credit Facility,
as the case may be) and the Remarketing Agent, of Bond Counsel selected by the Company and
acceptable to the Trustee and acceptable to the Remarketing Agent stating that such conversion (i)
is authorized or permitted by the Indenture, (ii) will not cause interest on the Bonds to become
ineludible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for purposes of federal income taxation and (iii)
will not violate the provisions of the Act or other applicable state law. The conversion of the interest
rate borne by the Bonds shall not become effective unless on the Conversion Date the Trustee shall
have received an opinion of such Bond Counsel dated the Conversion Date reaffirming the conclusions
of the opinion accompanying the written direction of the Company initiating the conversion.Inability To Convert.If for any reason a change in method of calculation of interest on the
Bonds cannot proceed, the Bonds shall continue to bear interest calculated in the method applicable
prior to the proposed change.Notice to Ownem ofConversionThe Trustee shall give notice by first-class mail to the Owners
of Bonds not less than 10 days and not more than 15 days prior to the Conversion Date. Such notice
shall state (i) that the method of determining the interest rate on the Bonds will be converted to an
alternate method of determining the rate, (ii) the effective date of the alternate method of determining
the rate, (iii) the procedures and dates involved in determining the rate and the procedure for notifying
Owners of the interest rate, (iv) when interest on the Bonds will be payable after the effective date,
(v) if the Trustee has been so notified by the Company, whether a Letter of Credit or an Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be, will be in effect after such effective date and, if so, the issuer,
the expiration terms and the interest coverage of the Letter of Credit or Alternate Credit Facility,
17
as the case may be, (vi) whether subsequent to such effective date the Owners of Bonds will no longer
have the right to deliver Bonds to the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee for purchase, (vii) that the
rating on the Bonds by Moody’s, if the Bonds are then rated by Moody’s, or S&P, if the Bonds are
then rated by S&P, may be reduced or withdrawn, and (viii) that all outstanding Bonds not repurchased
on or prior to the effective date will be redeemed on such effective date except Bonds with respect
to which the Owner has directed the Issuer not to redeem the same in accordance with the Indenture.THE AGREEMENTSEach Agreement will operate independently of the others, and a default under one Agreement
will not necessarily constitute a default under the other Agreements. The Agreements contain
substantially identical terms, and the following is a summary of certain provisions common to the
five Agreements. All references in this summary are to the documents, the Bonds or the Letters of
Credit (or Alternate Credit Facilities) relating to each Agreement.Loan PaymentsAs Loan Payments, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the account of the Issuer, an amount
equal to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due on the dates, in the
amounts and in the manner provided in the Indenture for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds, whether at maturity, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise;
provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to make any such Loan Payment will be deemed
to be satisfied and discharged to the extent of the corresponding payment made (i) by the Bank to
the Trustee under the Letter of Credit or (ii) by the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility to the
Trustee under the Alternate Credit Facility.
From the date of the original issuance of the Bonds to and including the Interest Payment Date
next preceding the date of expiration or earlier termination of the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be), the Company will provide for the payment of the principal of
the Bonds, upon redemption or acceleration, and interest on the Bonds when due, by the delivery of
the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) to the Trustee. The Trustee
will be directed to draw moneys under the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit Facility, as the
case may be), in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Letter of Credit (or the
Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be), to the extent necessary to pay the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Bonds if and when due. The initial Letter of Credit does not provide for
drawings in respect of amounts of such redemption premium.Payments to Remarketing Agent and TrusteeThe Company will pay to the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee amounts equal to the amounts
to be paid by the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture for the purchase
of outstanding Bonds, such amounts to be paid by the Company to the Remarketing Agent and the
Trustee, as the case may be, on the dates such payments are to be made; provided, however, that
the obligation of the Company to make any such payment under the Agreement shall be reduced by
the amount of any moneys available for such payments, including proceeds from the remarketing
of the Bonds or moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit Facility, as the
case may be).
From the date of the original issuance of the Bonds to and including the Interest Payment Date
next preceding the date of the expiration or earlier termination of the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be), the Company will provide for the payment of the amounts to
be paid by the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds by the delivery of the
Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit Facility, as the ease may be) to the Trustee. The Trustee
will be directed to draw moneys under the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit Facility, as the
case may be), in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the Letter of Credit (or the
Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be), to the extent necessary for the purchase of Bonds.Obligation AbsoluteThe Company’s obligation to make Loan Payments and payments to the Remarketing Agent and
theTrustee for the purchase of Bonds is absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and will not be subject
18
to any defense other than payment or to any right of setoff, counterclaim or recoupment arising out
of any breach by the Issuer, the Bank (or Obligor on an Alternate Credit Facility), the Trustee or
the Remarketing Agent of any obligation to the Company.ExpensesThe Company is obligated to pay reasonable compensation and to reimburse certain expenses
and advances of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Remarketing Agent, Moody’s, S&P and
the Indexing Agent directly to such entity.Tax Covenants; Tax-Exempt Status of BondsThe Company covenants that the Bond proceeds, the earnings thereon and other moneys on
deposit with respect to the Bonds will not he used in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be
arbitrage bonds within the meaning of the Code.
The Company covenants that it will not take, or permit to be taken on its behalf, any action which
would cause the interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of Owners of the Bonds
for purposes of federal income taxation and will take, or require to be taken, such action as may, from
time to time, be required under applicable law or regulation to continue to cause the interest on the
Bonds not to be includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for purposes of federal income
taxation. See “TAX EXEMF~ION.”Assignment; MergerWith the consent of the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may
he), the Company’s interest in the Agreement may be assigned in whole or in part by the Company
to another entity, subject, however, to the conditions that no assignment shall (a) cause the interest
payable on the Bonds (other than Bonds held by a “substantial user” or “related person” within the
meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code) to become includible in the gross income of the Owners
thereof for purposes of federal income taxation or (b) relieve (other than as described in the next
succeeding paragraph) the Company from primary liability for its obligations to make the Loan
Payments or to make payments to the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee with respect to the purchase
of the Bonds or for any other of its obligations under the Agreement; and subject further to the
condition that the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Bank (or the Obligor on the
Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) an opinion of counsel to the Company that such
assignment complies with the provisions of this paragraph. The Company shall, within 30 days after
the delivery thereof, furnish to the Issuer, the Bank (or Obliger on the Alternate Credit Facility, as
the ease may be) and the Trustee a true and complete eopy of the agreements or other documents
effectuating any such assignment.
The Company may enter into the transactions described in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus
of PacifiCorp and Utah Power & Light Company dated October 29, 198’7 (the “Prospectus”) filed as
a part of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Registration No. 33-18164, effective October 29, 1987, resulting in a Merger (as defined in the
Prospectus) or Reincorporation (as defined in the Prospectus) and the Merger of the Company into
PC/UP&L Merging Corp., an Oregon corporation (to be renamed “PacifiCorp”). After the effectiveness
of the Merger or Reincorporation, PC/UP&L Merging Corp. will assume (either by operation of law
or in writing) all of the obligations of the Company under the Agreement and all references to the
Company in the Agreement shall mean PC/UP&L Merging Corp. (renamed “PacifiCorp”).
The Company also may (a) consolidate with or merge into another domestic corporation (i.e., a
corporation (i) incorporated and existing under the laws of one of the states of the United States or
of the District of Columbia and qualified to do business in the State of Montana or the State of
Wyoming, as the case may be, as a foreign corporation or (ii) incorporated and existing under the
laws of the State of Montana or the State of Wyoming, as the ease may be), or sell or otherwise transfer
to another domestic corporation all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and thereafter
dissolve, provided the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, as the case may be, shall be the
Company or as a result of the transaction shall assume (either by operation of law or in writing) all
of the obligations of the Company under the Agreement; or (b) convey all or substantially all of its
19
assets to one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company so long as the Company shall remain
in existence and primarily liable on all of its obligations under the Agreement and the subsidiary or
subsidiaries to which such assets shall be so conveyed shall guarantee in writing the performance
of all of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement.DefaultsEach of the following events will constitute an “Event of Default” under the Agreement:
(a) a failure by the Company to make when due any Loan Payment or any payment required
to be made to the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds, which failure
shall have resulted in an “Event of Default” as described herein in paragraph (a), (b) or(e) under
“THE INDENTURES-DefaUlta”;
(b) a failure by the ~Company to pay when due any other amount required to be paid under
the Agreement or to observe and perform any other covenant, condition or agreement under the
Agreement (other than a failure described in clause (a) above), which failure continues for a period
of 60 days (or such longer period as the Trustee and the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate
Credit Facility, as the case may be) may agree to in writing) after written notice given to the
Company and the Bank (or the Ohligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) by
the Trustee or to the Company, the Trustee and the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be) by the Issuer; provided, however, that if such failure is other than
for the payment of money and cannot be corrected within the applicable period, such failure shall
not constitute an Event of Default so long as the Company institutes corrective action within
the applicable period and such action is being diligently pursued; or
(c) certain events of bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company.
The Agreement provides that, with respect to any Event of Default described in clause (b) above,
if, by reason of acts of God, strikes, orders of political bodies, certain natural disasters, civil
disturbances and certain other events, or any cause or event not reasonably within the control of the
Company, the Company is unable in whole or in part to carry out one or more of its agreements or
obligations contained in the Agreement (other than its obligations to make when due Loan Payments
and payments to the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds and its obligation
to maintain its existence), the Company shall not be deemed in default by reason of not carrying out
such agreement or performing such obligation during the continuance of such inability.RemediesUpon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default described in (a) or(c) in the second
preceding paragraph, and further upon the condition that, in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture, the Bonds shall have been declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to any
provision of the Indenture, the Loan Payments shall, without further action, become and be
immediately due and payable. Any waiver of any “Event of Default” under the Indenture and a
rescission and annulment of its consequences will constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event or
Events of Default under the Agreement and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof.
See the Caption “THE INDENTURES-Defaults.”

may take any action at law or in equity to collect any payments then due and thereafter to become
due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the
Company under the Agreement.
Any amounts collected upon an Event of Default under the Agreement will be applied in
accordance with the Indenture.AmendmentsThe Agreement may be amended subject to the limitations contained in the Agreement and in
the Indenture. See the caption “THE INDENrunEs-Amendment of the Agreement.”

THE INDENTURESEach Indenture will operate independently of the others, and a default under one Indenture will
not necessarily constitute a default under the others. The Indentures contain substantially identical
terms, and the following is a summary of certain provisions common to the five Indentures. All
references in this summary are to the documents, the Bonds or the Bond Fund relating to each
Indenture.Pledge and SecurityPursuant to the Indenture, the Loan Payments will be pledged by the Issuer to secure the payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds and all other amounts payable
under the Indenture. The Issuer will also pledge and assign to the Trustee all its rights and interests
under the Agreement~(other than its rights to indemnification and reimbursement of expenses and
certain other rights), and has pledged to the Trustee all moneys and obligations deposited or to be
deposited in the Bond Fund established with the Trustee; provided that the Trustee will have a prior
claim on the Bond Fund for the payment of its compensation and expenses and for the repayment
of any advances (plus interest thereon) made by it to effect performance of certain covenants in the
Indenture and the Agreement (except that the Trustee will not have such priority with respect to
amounts deposited in the Bond Fund from amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit or Alternate
Credit Facility).Application of ProceedsProceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be deposited with the trustee for the Prior Bonds and
used for the Refunding.Application of the Bond FundThere is created under the Indenture a Bond Fund and therein established a Principal Account
and an Interest Account. Loan Payments, amounts drawn by the Trustee under the Letter of Credit
(or Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) for payment of the principal of, and interest on,
the Bonds when due, and certain other amounts specified in the Indenture are to be deposited in the
appropfiate account in the Bond Fund. While any Bonds are outstanding and except as provided in
an arbitrage regulation agreement for each issue of Bonds among the Trustee, the related Issuer
and the Company, 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 when due, or, in some circumstances, for payment
of the purchase price of the Bonds, subject to the prior claim of the Trustee to the extent described
in ‘THE INDENTURES-Pledge and Security.”
Funds for the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds shall
be derived from the following sources in the order of priority indicated:
(a) Available Moneys;
(b) moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may
be; and
(c) any other moneys paid by the Company pursuant to the Agreement or any other moneys
in the Bond Fund.Investment of Funds?%Ioneys in the Bond Fund will, at the direction of the Company, be invested in securities or
obligations specified in the Indenture)&ovided. however, that during the term of the Letter of Credit
(or an Alternate Credit Facility, a&he case may be) moneys drawn under the Letter of Credit (or
an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) shall be invested by the Trustee only in Government
Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) with a term not exceeding 30 day&All income or other gain
from such investments will be credited, and any loss will be charged, to the,&rti%ular fund or account
from which the investments were made.21
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 (other than
Bonds pledged to the Bank (the “Pledged 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 (other than Pledged Bonds)
for a period of five days after such interest has become due and payable;
(c) a failure to pay amounts due to Owners of the Bonds who have delivered Bonds to the
Remarketing Agent or the Trustee for purchase for a period of five days after such payment
has become due and payable;
(d) the Trustee’s receipt of notice from the Bank not later than the ninth Business Day
following a drawing under the Letter of Credit that the Bank has not been reimbursed for such
drawing;
(e) the Trustee’s receipt of notice from the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be) of an “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Reimbursement
Agreement (which may be caused by the failure of the Company to comply with any of its
covenants and obligations thereunder);
(f)a failure by the Issuer to observe and perform any other covenant, condition or agreement
contained in the Bonds or the Indenture (other than a failure described in clause (a), (b) or (c)
above), which failure shall continue for a period of 90days after written notice given to the Issuer
and the Company by the Trustee, which notice may be given at the discretion of the Trustee and
must be given at the written request of the Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of
Bonds then outstanding, unless such period is extended by the Trustee, or by 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; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the
Trustee and the Owners of such principal amount of Bonds, as the case may be, will 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; and
(g) an “Event of Default” under the Agreement.
Remedies
(i) Upon the occurrence (without waiver or cure) of an Event of Default described in clause (a),
(b) or (e) of the preceding paragraph or an Event of Default described in clause (g) of the preceding
paragraph resulting from an “Event of Default” under the Agreement as described under clause (a)
or(c) of “THE AGREEMENT-Defaults” herein, the Trustee may (and upon the written request of the
Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding the Trustee must),
or (ii) upon the occurrence (without waiver or cure) of an Event of Default described in clause (d)
or (e) of the preceding paragraph, the Trustee must, by written notice to the Issuer, the Company
and the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be), declare the Bonds
to be immediately due and payable, whereupon they shall, without further action, become and be
immediately due and payable and, during the period the Letter of Credit (or Alternate Credit Facility,
as the case may be) is in effect, with interest on the Bonds accruing to the Bond Payment Date (as
defined in the Indenture) established by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture, anything in the
Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Trustee shall give notice thereof
to the Issuer, the Company and the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the ease
may be)
‘&
nd shall give notice by first-class mail thereof to Owners of the Bonds, and the Trustee shall
as prom tly as practicable draw moneys under the Letter of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility,
as the ease may be, to the extent available thereunder, in an amount sufficient to pay principal of
and accrued interest on the Bonds to the Bond Payment Date.
The provisions described in the preceding paragraph 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
22
shall have been so declared to he due and payable,tlnd 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 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 under the Indenture (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 he deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded and
annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or annulment
to the Issuer and the Company and shall give notice thereof to Owners of the Bonds by first-class
mail; but no such waiver, rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of
Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.
The provisions of the second preceding paragraph are, further, subject to the condition that, if
an Event of Default described in clause(d) or(e) of “THE INDENTURE-Defa&s” shall have occurred
and if the Trustee shall thereafter have received notice from the Bank (or the Ohligor 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 principal and (ii) interest on the Bonds and 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 Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be), the Company and, prior to conversion to a Fixed Interest Rate, the
Remarketing Agent, and shall give notice thereof to all Owners of the outstanding Bonds (if such
Owners were notified of the acceleration) by first-class mail; 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 under the Indenture, the Trustee
may, and upon the written request of the Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds
outstanding and receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction shall, pursue any available remedy to enforce
the rights of the Owners of the Bonds and require the Company, the Issuer or the Bank (or the Obligor
on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) to carry out its agreements, bring suit upon the
Bonds, require the Issuer to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the Owners of
the Bonds or enjoin any acts or things which may be unlawful, or in violation of the rights of the
Owners of the Bonds. The Trustee is not required to take any action in respect of an Event of Default
(other than, in certain circumstances, to declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable) or to
enforce the trusts created by the Indenture except upon the written request of the Owners of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and receipt of indemnity satisfactory
to it.
The Owners of a majority in principal amount of Bonds then outstanding will have the right to
direct the time, method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings under the Indenture or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee upon furnishing satisfactory indemnity to
the Trustee and provided that such direction shall not result in any personal liability of the Trustee.
No Owner of any Bond will have any right to institute suit to execute any trust or power of the
Trustee unless such Owner has previously given the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default
and unless the Owners of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding have
made written request of the Trustee so to do, and unless satisfactory indemnity has been offered to
the Trustee and the Trustee has not complied with such request within a reasonable time.
23
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the right of the Owner of any Bond to
receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on his 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 date, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Owner of the Bonds.

Owners of said Bonds or portions thereof that the deposit required by clause (b) above has been
made with the Trustee and that said Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid
and stating the maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the
payment of the principal of and interest on said Bonds or portions thereof; and
(d)the Trustee shall have received written evedence from Moody’s, if the Bonds are then
rated by Moody’s, and S&P, if the Bonds are then rated by S&P, that such action, if it applies
to less than all of the Bonds then Outstanding, will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of
the rating on the Bonds by Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be.
Moneys deposited with the Trustee as described above shall not be withdrawn or used for any
purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of and interest on said
Bonds or portions thereof, or for the payment of the purchase price of Bonds in accordance with the
Indenture; provided that such moneys, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to the extent
practicable, be invested and reinvested in Government Obligations maturing on or prior to the earlier

delivery of Bonds to the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee for purchase and the related obligations
of the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee with respect thereto, (iii) the mandatory redemption of
the Bonds in connection with the expiration of the term of the Letter of Credit (or the Alternate Credit
Facility, as the case may be) and (iv) payment of the Bonds from such moneys, shall remain in full
force and effect with respect to all Bonds until the maturity date of the Bonds or the last date fixed
for redemption of all Bonds prior to maturity, notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Bonds
are deemed to be paid; provided, further, that the provisions with respect to registration and exchange
of Bonds shall continue to be effective until the maturity or the last date fixed for redemption of all
Bonds.
In the event the requirements of the next to the last sentence of the next succeeding paragraph
can be satisfied, the preceding three paragraphs shall not apply and the following two paragraphs
shall be applicable.
24
Any Bond shall be deemed to be paid within the meaning of the Indenture when (a) payment of
the principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof

to make such payment, and(b) all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Trustee
and the Registrar pertaining to the Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made shall have been
paid or the payment thereof provided for to the satisfaction of the Trustee. The provisions of clause

to purchase as described herein under the caption “THE BONDS-Purchase of Bonds” and (y) the
Company waives, to the satisfaction of the Trustee, its right to convert the interest rate borne by

at the time outstanding.Modifications and AmendmentsThe Indenture may be modified or amended by supplemental indentures without the consent of
or notice to the Owners of the Bonds for any of the following purposes: (a) to cure any formal defect,
omission, inconsistency or ambiguity in the Indenture; (b) to add to the covenants and agreements

or a Substitute Letter of Credit; (g) to provide for a depositary to accept tendered Bonds in lieu of
the Remarketing Agent; (h) to provide for uncertificated Bonds or for the issuance of coupons and
bearer Bonds or Bonds registered only as~to principal, but only to the extent that such would not
cause interest on the Bonds to become includible in the gross income of the Owners thereof for
purposes of federal income taxation; (i) to secure or maintain a rating for the Bonds in both the highest
25
short-term or commercial paper debt Rating Category (as defined in the Indenture) and in either of
the two highest long-term debt Rating Categories; and (j) to provide demand purchase obligations
to cause the Bonds to be authorized purchases for Investment Companies. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, notice shall be given to the Owners of the Bonds of any supplemental indenture changing
the method of determining the Floating Interest Index or the Fixed Interest Index.
Except for supplemental indentures entered into for the purposes described in the preceding
paragraph, the Indenture will not be modified or amended without the consent of the Owners of not
less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding, who shall have the right to consent
to and approve any supplemental indenture; provided that, unless approved in writing by the Owners
of all the Bonds then affected thereby, there will not be permitted (a) a change in the times, amounts
or currency of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Bond, a change in the
terms of the purchase thereof by the Remarketing Agent or the Trustee, or a reduction in the principal
amount or redemption price thereof or the rate of interest thereon, (b) the creation of a claim or lien

indenture or which is required to approve any amendment to the Agreement. No amendment of the
Indenture shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Company and the Bank (or the
Obliger on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the ease may be).

Categories. The Issuer and the Trustee will not consent to any other amendment of the 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 shall permit, or be construed as permitting, a
change in the obligations of the Company to make Loan Payments or payments to the Trustee or
Remarketing Agent for the purchase of Bonds. No amendment of the Agreement will become effective
without the prior written consent of the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the
case may be) and the Company.
UNDERWRITING
E.F. Hutton & Company Inc., as Underwriter, has agreed to purchase the Bonds of each issue
from the Issuer thereof at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Underwriter
is committed to purchase all of the Bonds of an issue if any are purchased.
The Company has agreed to pay the Underwriter an aggregate fee of $576,450 and indemnify
the Underwriter against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws. The
Underwriter may offer and sell the Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Bonds into
investment trusts) and others at prices lower than the offering price stated on the cover page hereof.
After the initial public offering, the public offering price may be changed from time to time by the
Underwriter.
On December 2,1987, Shearson Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the parent company
of Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. (“Shearson Lehman”) andThe E.F. Hutton Group Inc. (“E.F. Hutton
Group”), the parent company of E.F. Hutton & Company Inc. (“E.F. Hutton”), entered into an
agreement, amended as of December 28,1987 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Holdings agreed
to acquire all the outstanding shares of E.F. Hutton Group common stock. Pursuant to a tender offer
for certain of the outstanding shares of E.F. Hutton Group common stock which expired January 12,
1938,32,144,465 shares were tendered and Holdings has agreed to purchase 29,610,OOO shares or 90%
26
of E.F. Hutton Group’s common stock outstanding and available for tender. As permitted by the terms
of the Agreement, Holdings intends to assign its right to purchase the shares to Shearson Lehman.
Following the initial merger of a newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Shearson Lehman into
E.F. Hutton Group, E.F. Hutton Group will merge into Shearson Lehman as soon as practicable. The
proposed acquisition and merger of E. F. Hutton Group with and into Shearson Lehman is expected
to occur within the first three-quarters of 1988. Upon the effectiveness of the merger of E.F. Hutton
Group with and into Shearson Lehman, the surviving corporation will assume all of the obligations
of E.F. Hutton as Underwriter, as Remarketing Agent and as Indexing Agent with respect to the
Bonds of each issue.
TAX EXEMPTION
The Code contains a number of requirements and restrictions which apply to each issue of 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 each of the Issuers have covenanted to comply with all
requirements of the Code that must be satisfied in order for the interest on each issue of Bonds to
be excludible from gross income. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause
interest on the related issue or issues of Bonds to become subject to federal income taxation retroactive
to the date of issuance of such Bonds.
Subject to the condition that the Company and the related Issuer comply with the above-
referenced covenants, under present law, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on each issue of
Bonds will not be includible 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 the related Project or any person considered to be related to such person (within
the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954 Code) and the interest on each issue of Bonds will not
be treated as an item of tax preference in computing the alternative minimum tax for individuals and
corporations (since the Prior Bonds were issued prior to August 8,1986). Such interest will be taken
into account, however, in computing an adjustment used in determining the alternative minimum tax
for certain corporations.
The Code includes provisions for an alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) for corporations. The AMT
is levied for taxable years beginning after December 31,1986 in addition to the regular corporate tax
in certain cases. The AMT, if any, depends upon the corporation’s alternative minimum taxable income
(“AMTI”), which is the corporation’s taxable income with certain adjustments. One of the adjustment
items used in computing AMTI of a corporation (excluding S corporations, Regulated Investment
Companies, Real Estate Investment Trusts and REMICs) is an amount equal to 50% of the excess
of such corporation’s “adjusted net book income” over an amount equal to its AMTI (before such
adjustment item and the alternative tax net operating loss deduction). For taxable years beginning
after 1989, such adjustment item will be 75% of the excess of such corporation’s “adjusted current
earnings” over an amount equal to its AMTI (before such adjustment item and the alternative tax
net operating loss deduction). Both “adjusted net book income” and “adjusted current earnings” would
include all tax-exempt interest, including interest on each issue of Bonds.
In rendering its opinion with respect to each issue of Bonds, Bond Counsel will rely upon
certifications of the Company with respect to certain material facts solely within the Company’s
knowledge about the Project relating to such issue of Bonds and to the application of the proceeds
of such issue of Bonds and the proceeds of the related issue of Prior 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 Bonds should consult their tax advisors as to applicability of any such collateral
consequences.
In the opinion of Chapman and Cutler, Bond Counsel, under present Montana law, interest on
the Forsyth Bonds is exempt from individual income taxes imposed by the State of Montana.
21
In the opinion of Chapman and Cutler, Bond Counsel, under present Wyoming law, the State of
Wyoming imposes no income taxes which would be applicable to the Converse Bonds, the Gillette
Bonds or the two issues of the Sweetwater 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 MATTERSThe validity of the Bonds will be passed upon by Chapman and Cutler, Bond Counsel, and the
Underwriter’s obligation to purchase any issue of 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 Steel Rives Boley Jones & Grey, as Counsel for the Company, and for the Underwriter by Kutak
Rock & Campbell, as Counsel to the Underwriter. The validity of the Letter of Credit relating to the
Converse Bonds will be passed upon for The Sumitomo Bank, Limited, by its United States counsel,
Preston, Thorgrimson, Ellis & Holman, and by its Japanese counsel, Nishi, Tanaka & Takahashi. The
validity of the Letter of Credit for the Forsyth Bonds will be passed upon for The Industrial Bank
of Japan, Limited, by its United States counsel, Lillick MeHose & Charles, and by its Japanese counsel,
Tokyo Kokusai Law Offices. The validity of the Letter of Credit for the Gillette Bonds will be passed
upon for Deutsche Bank AG by its United States counsel, White & Case, and by its Central Legal
Department. The validity of the Letters of Credit for the Sweetwater Bonds will be passed upon for
National Westminster Bank PLC by its United States counsel, Lillick McHose & Charles, and by its
English counsel, Wilde Sapte.
Chapman and Cutler has represented other parties in matters involving subsidiaries of the
Company where legal fees of Chapman and Cutler have been paid by such subsidiaries.MISCELLANEOUSThe attached Appendices are an integral part of this Official Statement and must be read together

APPENDIX BTHE SUMITOMO BANK, LIMITEDThe Sumitomo Bank, Limited (“Sumitomo”) is a Japanese banking corporation organized under
the banking law of Japan. Sumitomo was formally established in 1895, although its earliest beginnings
date back about 400 years to the early 17th century when Masatomo Sumitomo started certain
businesses in the old capital of Kyoto.
The main business of Sumitomo is providing financial services to individuals, corporations and
governments. Such services include accepting deposits, processing short- and medium-term loans,
effecting money transfers and underwriting Japanese government bonds, national and local, as well
as a wide variety of other services in both domestic and international financial markets. With the
growth of the multinational corporation, Sumitomo has expanded its international services well beyond
the traditional areas of foreign trade and exchange.
Sumitomo is the second largest bank in the world as well as in Japan in terms of assets. As of
March 31, 1987, Sumitomo had total assets of approximately U.S. $265 billion, deposits of
approximately U.S. $179 billion, loans and bills discounted outstanding of approximately U.S. $136
billion and total stockholders’ equity of approximately U.S. $5 billion on a consolidated basis.
Sumitomo took its first step into international banking by concluding a correspondent agreement
with an overseas bank to handle remittance from Japanese citizens living in Hawaii. Shortly thereafter,
Sumitomo was among the first Japanese commercial banks to establish an international network. In
1916, Sumitomo established its first overseas branch in San Francisco. Since that time, Sumitomo has
expanded its international network to 16 branches located in New York, London, Hong Kong,
Dusseldorf, Madrid, Singapore, Brussels, Chicago, Seattle, Panama, Seoul, Milan, Barcelona, Houston,
Cayman and San Francisco; 23 representative offices located in Toronto, Vienna, Jakarta, Mexico City,

APPENDIX CTHE INDUSTRIAL BANK OF JAPAN, LIMITEDThe Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited (IBJ) was incorporated as a quasi-governmental financial
institution on March 27,1902, under Japanese law. After World War II, IBJ’s legal status was changed
to that of a private corporation operating under the Long-Term Credit Bank Law, enacted in 1952.
The Long-Term Credit Bank Law provides for the establishment of banks whose specific purpose
is to provide long-term funds for Japanese industry, defined to include loans having maturities of more
than six months. This law further provides that long-term credit banks finance their operations
primarily by the sale of their own debentures. IBJ is also engaged in various securities activities and
provides international banking services, including foreign exchange trading.
IBJ is the oldest and largest of Japan’s long-term credit banks and, in terms of deposits and
debentures, is also one of the largest banks in Japan. According to the July 1987 issue of “Institutional
Investor,” IBJ was the eighth largest bank in the world in terms of assets. On March 31, 1987, on
a nonconsolidated basis, IBJ had total assets of approximately US$194 billion, total loans and bills
discounted outstanding of approximately US$106 billion, total debentures and deposits of approxi-
mately US$154 billion, and total shareholders’ equity of approximately US$3 billion.
In addition to its 24 domestic branches, IBJ has overseas branches in New York, Chicago, London
Singapore, Paris and Hong Kong; an agency in Los Angeles; representative offices in Atlanta, Houston:
San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Bahrain, Bangkok, Beijing, Dalian, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt/Main,

Paula, Shanghai, Sydney and Toronto; and overseas subsidiaries in New York, London, Frank-
furt/Main, Luxembourg, Zurich, Hong Kong, Toronto, Jakarta, Perth and Curacao. IBJ is publicly
owned, and its shares are listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Osaka Securities Exchange.
IBJ will provide without charge to each person to whom this Official Statement is delivered, upon
the request of any such person, a copy of its latest Annual Report, prepared in accordance with
Japanese law and accounting principles. Written requests should be directed to: The Industrial Bank

APPENDIX ENATIONAL WESTMINSTER BANK PLCNational Westminster Bank PLC (the “Bank”), together with its subsidiaries (the “Group”), is
engaged in a wide range of banking, financial and related activities in the United Kingdom and
throughout the world.
Based on consolidated total assets and deposits, the Group was the largest banking group in the
United Kingdom at December 31,1986 and is among the larger international banking groups in the
world. At December 31,1986 the Group reported consolidated total assets of 583.3 billion, consolidated
total deposits off 69.3 billion and consolidated ordinary shareholders’ equity of f4.6 billion. The Group’s
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,1986 have been filed on Form 20-F
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
On July 28, 1987 the Group reported interim pretax profits of f251 million after a charge for
debt provisions of f564 million. The charge for bad and doubtful debts mainly reflects sovereign debt
provisions of f496 million. This brings the Group’s total sovereign debt cover to f886 million, which
is 29.5% of its f3 billion outstandings to 35 problem countries.
The Group currently employs approximately 96,666 people worldwide. Its United Kingdom
operations are conducted directly through the Bank, which is one of the four major London Clearing
Banks, and through three additional banking subsidiaries and other subsidiary companies. Interna-
tional operations are conducted by the Bank and affiliated companies in the United Kingdom and in
36 other countries. The Group’s international business has concentrated on OECD countries and its
exposure to countries with liquidity difficulties is small relative to its total assets.
The Bank announced on August 5, 1987 that it had agreed to a cash purchase of First Jersey
National Corporation, an American banking group in New Jersey, for a purchase price of US@20
million. First Jersey National Corporation is the fourth largest banking group in New Jersey with
114 branches and is a leading institution with state-wide operations. The transaction is expected to
be completed shortly after January 1,1988 subject to, inter alia, approval by the relevant regulatory
authorities and of the terms of the offer by First Jersey National Corporation shareholders.
On November 27,1987 the Bank announced that it had postponed for the time being its proposals
to undertake a public offering in Japan and to list its ordinary shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
This decision has been taken in view of the significant changes which have taken place in the world
equity markets since the middle of October. The position will be kept under review.
In the United Kingdom the Group is supervised by the Bank of England with which periodic
reports are filed, together with other information as required. The Bank’s San Francisco Overseas
Branch is licensed by the State of California Banking Department and is subject to periodic
examination by the Department. By virtue of its ownership of National Westminster Bank USA, the
Bank is also subject to federal reporting requirements as a bank holding company.

APPENDIX F
ALTERNATIVE INTEREST RATES
The following is a description of the interest rate and purchase provisions of the Bonds while
the Bonds bear a Daily Interest Rate, Weekly Interest Rate, a Monthly Interest Rate, a Tender Rate
or a Fixed Interest Rate. The method by which the interest rate on the Bonds is determined can be
changed as described in the Official Statement under “CONVERSION OF RATE.”
Interest Provisions
Daily Interest Rate.With respect to each day the Bonds are to bear a Daily Interest Rate, the
Daily Interest Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the interest rate which, in
the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, when borne by the Bonds, would be the minimum interest
rate necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on such date at the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest, if any; provided, however, that (A) with respect to any day that is not
a Business Day, the Daily Interest Rate shall be the same rate as the Daily Interest Rate established
for the immediately preceding Business Day unless the Remarketing Agent is open for business on
such non-Business Day and determines a rate for such non-Business Day, in which case the Bonds
shall bear interest at the rate so determined, and (B) if for any reason a Daily Interest Rate is not
established by the Remarketing Agent or the rate established by the Remarketing Agent is held to
be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law with respect to any day, the Daily Interest Rate for
such day shall equal the Floating Interest Index determined by the Indexing Agent as of such day.
On the basis of such Daily Interest Rates, the Trustee shall calculate the amount of interest payable
during each Interest Period on the Bonds bearing interest at a Daily Interest Rate.Weekly Interest Rate.With respect to each week the Bonds are to bear interest at a Weekly
Interest Rate, the Weekly Interest Rate on the Bonds shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent
by 1200 noon, New York, New York time, on Wednesday of each week to be the interest rate which,
in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, when borne by the Bonds would be the minimum interest
rate necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on such date at the principal amount
thereof plus accrued interest, if any. While the Bonds bear interest at the Weekly Interest Rate, the
Remarketing Agent shall on the next to the last Business Day of each Interest Period provide in
writing to the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be) and the Trustee
the Weekly Interest Rates in effect during such Interest Period. In the determination of the Weekly
Interest Rate, the following special provisions shall apply:
(1) In the event the Remarketing Agent shall fail or refuse for any week to determine the
Weekly Interest Rate, the Weekly Interest Rate shall be the same as for the next preceding week.__.--
(2) If for any reason (i) a Weekly Interest Rate is not established by the Remarketing Agent
for any two successive weeks or (ii) the rate established by the Remarketing Agent is held to
be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law, the Weekly Interest Rate for such week (or the
second of such successive weeks, in the case of(i) above) shall equal the Floating Interest Index
(as described in the Indenture) determined by the Indexing Agent (initially E.F. Hutton &
Company Inc.) for such week.Monthly Interest Rate.With respect to each Interest Period the Bonds are to bear interest at
a Monthly Interest Rate, the Monthly Interest Rate shall be determined on the first Business Day
of such Interest Period by the Remarketing Agent to be that rate which would be the minimum interest
rate necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the first day of such Interest
Period at the principal amount thereof. If for any reason a Monthly Interest Rate is not established
by the Remarketing Agent or the rate established by the Remarketing Agent is held to be invalid
or unenforceable by a court of law with respect to any Interest Period, the Monthly Interest Rate
for such Interest Period shall equal the Floating Interest Index determined by the Indexing Agent
for such Interest Period.
F-l
Tender Interest Rate.With respect to each Tender Period the Bonds are to bear interest at
a Tender Interest Rate, the Tender Interest Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent as
follows. On the Business Day next preceding the first day of a Tender Period, the Remarketing Agent
shall determine the Tender Interest Rate, which shall be the rate which would be the minimum interest
rate necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to sell all of the Bonds on the first day of such Tender
Period at the principal amount thereof.
If for any reason a Tender Interest Rate is not established by the Remarketing Agent or the
rate established by the Remarketing Agent is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law
with respect to any Tender Period, the Tender Interest Rate for such Tender Period shall equal the
Floating Interest Index determined by the Indexing Agent as of the first day of such Tender Period.
Promptly after the determination of each Tender Interest Rate, the Trustee shall mail a notice
by first-class mail to each Owner of a Bond, at the address shown on the registration books of the
Issuer maintained by the Registrar, advising such Owner of such Tender Interest Rate and of the
Tender Period for which such Tender Interest Rate will be in effect. Failure by the Trustee to give
any such notice by mailing, or any defect therein, shall not affect the Tender Interest Rate to be borne
by the Bonds in any Tender Period.Fixed Interest Rate.The Fixed Interest Rats shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent
as follows. On the Business Day next preceding the effective date of the Fixed Interest Rate, the
Remarketing Agent shall determine the Fixed Interest Rate, which shall be the rate which would be
the minimum interest rate necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to sell all of the Bonds on
the effective date of the Fixed Interest Rate at the principal amount thereof.
If for any reason the Fixed Interest Rate is not established by the Remarketing Agent or the
rate established by the Remarketing Agent is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of law,
the Fixed Interest Rate shall equal the Fixed Interest Index (as defined in the Indenture) determined
by the Indexing Agent as of the effective date of the Fixed Interest Rate.
Promptly after the determination of the Fixed Interest Rate, the Trustee shall mail a notice by
first-class mail to each Owner of a Bond, at the address shown on the registration books of the Issuer
maintained by the Registrar, advising such Owner of such Fixed Interest Rate. Failure by the Trustee
to give any such notice by mailing, or any defect therein, shall not affect the Fixed Interest Rate to
be borne by the Bonds.Conclusiveness of Determination.The computation of the Floating Interest Index and the
Fixed Interest Index by the Indexing Agent, and the determination of any interest rate by the
Remarketing Agent or the Indexing Agent, shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the
Trustee, the Bank (or the Obligor on the Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be), the Company,
the Registrar, the Remarketing Agent and the Owners of the Bonds.Purchase Provisions

Principal Office of the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture) or any office designated by the Trustee

or seventh day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day). The delivery of a
Bondholder Election Notice by an Owner to retain his Bond is irrevocable and binding on such

promptly confirmed in writing, specifying the principal amount of Bonds for which Bondholder
Election Notices have been received. Not later than the fifteenth day next preceding the Purchase
Date, the Trustee shall give notice by first-class mail to the Owners of the Bonds stating (i) the

F-4
(b) Bonds or portions thereof to be purchased as provided in paragraph (a) above which are
not delivered by the Owners thereof to the Trustee as above provided shall nonetheless be deemed
to have been delivered by the Owner thereof for purchase and to have been purchased; provided
that there have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee moneys in accordance with the
Indenture in an amount sufficient to pay the purchase price of such Bonds. Thereafter, the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Bond as provided in the Indenture. Moneys deposited with the Trustee
for purchase of Bonds pursuant to the Indenture shall be held in trust in a separate escrow account
(without liability for interest thereon) and shall be paid to the Owners of such Bonds upon

the Company, the Trustee shall give notice by mail to each Owner whose Bonds are deemed to
have been purchased pursuant to the Indenture, which notice shall state that interest on such
Bonds ceased to accrue on the Purchase Date and that moneys representing the purchase price
of such Bonds are available against delivery thereof at the Principal Office of the Trustee. The
Trustee shall hold moneys deposited by the Company or drawn by the Trustee under the Letter
of Credit or an Alternate Credit Facility, as the case may be, for the purchase of Bonds as provided
in the Indenture, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the former Owner of
the Bond on such Purchase Date, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such moneys
for any claim of whatever nature on his part under the Indenture or on, or with respect to, such
Bond. Any moneys so deposited with and held by the Trustee not so applied to the payment of
Bonds, if any, within six months after such Purchase Date shall be paid by the Trustee to the

Re: $41,200,000
City of Gillette, Campbell County, Wyoming
Customized Purchase Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds
(PacifiCorp Project) Series 1988 (the “Bonds”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with Section 4.03(b) of that certain Loan
Agreement, dated as of January 1, 1988 (the “Loan Agreement”), between City of Gillette,
Campbell County, Wyoming (the “Issuer”) and PacifiCorp (the “Company”). 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 Royal Bank of Scotland plc, Connecticut branch (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 January
1, 1988 (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 conversion of the interest rate on the Bonds from a CP Rate
to a Weekly Interest Rate and the delivery of an Alternate Credit Facility, described in our
opinion dated May 26, 1999 and our opinions dated June 7, 1999, (b) the delivery of an Alternate
Credit Facility, described in our opinion dated September 15, 2004, (c) the delivery of the
amendment to an earlier Alternate Credit Facility, described in our opinion dated November 30,
2005, (d) the delivery of the Existing Letter of Credit, described in our opinion dated May 16,
2012 and (e) 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.
In rendering this opinion as Bond Counsel, we are passing only upon those matters set
forth in this opinion and are not passing upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of any
information furnished to any person in connection with any offer or sale of the Bonds.
Respectfully submitted,

your favor, as Trustee under the Trust Indenture, dated as of January 1, 1988 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), between Sweetwater

This Letter of Credit shall be effective immediately and shall expire upon the earliest to

“Stated Expiration Date”), (ii) four business days following your receipt of written notice from

completed certificate signed by you in the form of Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2 or Exhibit 3 attached
hereto, stating that the drawing thereunder is the final drawing under the Letter of Credit (such
earliest date being the “Cancellation Date”).
Prior to the Cancellation Date, we may extend the Stated Expiration Date from time to
time at the request of the Company by delivering to you an amendment to this Letter of Credit in
the form of Exhibit 8 attached hereto designating the date to which the Stated Expiration Date is
being extended. Each such extension of the Stated Expiration Date shall become effective on the
date of such amendment and thereafter all references in this Letter of Credit to the Stated
Expiration Date shall be deemed to be references to the date designated as such in such
amendment. Any date to which the Stated Expiration Date has been extended as herein provided
may be extended in a like manner.
The aggregate amount which may be drawn under this Letter of Credit, subject to
reductions in amount and reinstatement as provided below, is USD 11,745,754.00, of which the
aggregate amounts set forth below may be drawn as indicated.
(i) An aggregate amount not exceeding USD 11,500,000.00, as such amount
may be reduced and restored as provided below, may be drawn in respect of payment of
principal of the Bonds (or the portion of the purchase price of Bonds corresponding to
principal) (the “Principal Component”).
(ii) An aggregate amount not exceeding USD 245,754.00, as such amount
may be reduced and restored as provided below, may be drawn in respect of the payment
of up to 65 days’ interest on the principal amount of the Bonds computed at a maximum

purchase price of Bonds corresponding thereto) (the “Interest Component”).
The Principal Component and the Interest Component shall be reduced effective upon our
receipt of a certificate in the form of Exhibit 4 attached hereto completed in strict compliance
with the terms hereof.
