We are submitting the following information in compliance with the Commission's Order No. 34604 under
Case No. AVU-U- l7-0 I to enter into credit facilities up to $500,000,000. An informational notice regarding
this issuance was previously provided to staff of the Commission.
On June 4,2020,Avista Corporation (the Company) amended its $400.0 million committed line of credit
agreement with various banks. The amendment also provides the Company the option to request an
extension of the committed line of credit for an additional one yearbeyond April 18, 202Z,provided there
is no event ofdefault prior to the requested extension.
The amended commiued line of credit is secured by $400.0 million of non-transferable First Mortgage
Bonds of the Company issued to the agent bank. Such First Mortgage Bonds would only become due and
payable in the event, and then only to the extent, that the Company defaults on its obligations under the
committed line of credit.
The amended committed line of credit agreement contains customary covenants and default provisions,
including a covenant not to permit the ratio of "consolidated total debt" to "consolidated total
capitalization" of Avista Corporation to be greater than 65 percent at the end of any fiscal quarter.
Attached is the term sheet for this issuance and the 63rd supplernental indenture that was executed in
connection to this issuance.

D-2
The principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this bond payable at
Maturity shall be payable upon presentation hereof at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. The interest on
this bond (other than interest payable at Maturity) shall be paid directly to the registered owner
hereof. As used herein, the term “Maturity” shall mean the date on which the principal of this
bond becomes due and payable, whether at stated maturity, upon redemption or acceleration, or
otherwise.
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company issuable in series and is one
of a series known as its First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series 2020A, all bonds of all such
series being issued and issuable under and equally secured (except insofar as any sinking or other
fund, established in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage hereinafter mentioned, may
afford additional security for the bonds of any particular series) by a Mortgage and Deed of
Trust, dated as of June 1, 1939 (the “Original Mortgage”), executed by the Company (formerly
known as The Washington Water Power Company) to City Bank Farmers Trust Company and
Ralph E. Morton, as Trustees (Citibank, N.A., successor Trustee to both said Trustees). The
Original Mortgage has been amended and supplemented by various supplemental indentures,
including the Sixty-third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 1, 2020 (the “Sixty-third
Supplemental Indenture”), and, as so amended and supplemented, is herein called the
“Mortgage.” Reference is made to the Mortgage for a description of the property mortgaged and
pledged, the nature and extent of the security, the rights of the holders of the bonds and of the
Trustee in respect thereof, the duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions
upon which the bonds are and are to be secured and the circumstances under which additional
bonds may be issued. If there shall be a conflict between the terms of this bond and the
provisions of the Mortgage, the provisions of the Mortgage shall control to the extent permitted
by law. The holder of this bond, by its acceptance hereof, shall be deemed to have consented
and agreed to all of the terms and provisions of the Mortgage.
The Mortgage may be modified or altered by affirmative vote of the holders of at
least 60% in principal amount of the bonds outstanding under the Mortgage, considered as one
class, or, if the rights of one or more, but less than all, series of bonds then outstanding are to be
affected, then such modification or alteration may be effected with the affirmative vote only of
60% in principal amount of the bonds outstanding of the series so to be affected, considered as
one class, and, furthermore, for limited purposes, the Mortgage may be modified or altered
without any consent or other action of holders of any series of bonds. No modification or
alteration shall, however, permit an extension of the Maturity of the principal of, or interest on,
this bond or a reduction in such principal or the rate of interest hereon or any other modification
in the terms of payment of such principal or interest or the creation of any lien equal or prior to
the lien of the Mortgage or deprive the holder of a lien on the mortgaged and pledged property
without the consent of the holder hereof.
The bonds of this series are not redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of
the Company.
The bonds of this series have been issued and delivered to MUFG Union Bank,
N.A. (formerly known as Union Bank, N.A.), as Administrative Agent under the Credit
Agreement (as such terms are defined in the Sixty-third Supplemental Indenture) in order to
D-3
provide the benefit of the lien of the Mortgage as security for the obligation of the Company
under the Credit Agreement to pay the Obligations (as so defined), to the extent and subject to
the limitations set forth below. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in the Sixty-third
Supplemental Indenture, the Stated Maturity Date shall be automatically extended upon the
extension of the Expiration Date (as such term is defined in the Sixty-third Supplemental
Indenture) pursuant to any provision of the Credit Agreement, but in no event beyond December
31, 2050.
Upon the earliest of (A) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Sixty-third Supplemental Indenture) under the Credit Agreement, other than an Event of Default
referred to in clause (B) below, and further upon the condition that, in accordance with the terms

bonds of this series shall be redeemed or paid immediately at the principal amount thereof plus
accrued interest to the date of redemption or payment.
The obligation of the Company to pay the accrued interest on bonds of this series
on any Interest Payment Date prior to Maturity (a) shall be deemed to have been satisfied and
discharged in full in the event that all amounts then due in respect of the Obligations shall have
been paid or (b) shall be deemed to remain unsatisfied in an amount equal to the aggregate
amount then due in respect of the Obligations and remaining unpaid (not in excess, however, of
the amount otherwise then due in respect of interest on the bonds of this series).

remain outstanding (or all outstanding Letters of Credit shall have been cash collateralized in full
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement) or (y) shall be deemed to remain unsatisfied in an

extent that such Letters of Credit have not been cash collateralized pursuant to the terms of the
Credit Agreement (not in excess, however, of the amount otherwise then due in respect of
principal of and accrued interest on the bonds of this series).
Anything in this bond to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time of the
Maturity of the bonds of this series, the stated aggregate principal amount of such bonds then
outstanding shall exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments (provided that the aggregate
amount of the Commitments shall be determined without regard to any termination of the
Commitments at such time or pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Article VII of the Credit
Agreement), the aggregate principal amount of such bonds shall be deemed to have been reduced
by the amount of such excess.
