Benefits Ratio: $52,561,714/$320,883,751					16.38	%

6.3   Appendix E – Cost of Operating Work and Capital Improvements, is amended by adding the new Sections E.7A, E.7B and E.7C which read in their entirety as follows:

E.7A Transition Obligation

E.7A.1 The Operating Agent’s Transition Obligation at January 1, 1993 is $182,918,448 of which $43,000,000 is allocable to Palo Verde. Future changes in corporate-wide benefit plan levels covered under SFAS 106

4

that may affect the level of the Operating Agent’s Transition Obligation, shall be applied to Palo Verde at the rate of 23.508%. Any such changes to the Transition Obligation will be reflected in the year that the actuarial valuation reports such changes.

E.7A.2 Interest on the unamortized Transition Obligation balance at January 1 of each year will be calculated using the current year’s discount rate per the current year’s actuarial valuation. Since the actuarial valuation is usually not available until mid-year, an estimated rate, based on the prior year’s actuarial valuation will be used until the current year’s actuarial valuation is available. At that time, the interest related to the Transition Obligation will be trued-up to reflect the current year’s valuation. In the event of removal of one or more Generating Units from service prior to 2013, an actuarial study will be completed to recalculate the remaining Transition Obligation pertaining to Palo Verde on a stand-alone basis.

E.7A.3 The Transition Obligation will be amortized over 20 years on a straight line basis, starting January 1, 1993. The Operating Agent shall bill the Transition Obligation and related interest for the year on a monthly basis as set forth below:

TRANSITION OBLIGATION AND RELATED INTEREST

BILLED OUTSIDE OF THE BENEFITS LOAD

	TOTAL COMPANY			BILLED TO PALO VERDE
Total Transition Obligation Fixed At 1-1-93 To Be Amortized Over 20 Years	$	182,918,448		$	43,000,000
One Year’s Amortization Of the Transition Obligation (“T.O.”)		9,145,922			2,150,000
Interest On The Unamortized Balance Of The T.O. At 1-1-93		15,090,772			3,547,500
Total 1993 Transition Obligation & Interest		24,236,694			5,697,500
Interest On The Unamortized Balance Of the T.O. At 1-1-93
Unamortized Balance At 1-1-93		182,918,448			43,000,000
1993 Discount Rate		8.25	%		8.25	%
Interest On Transition Obligation		15,090,772			3,547,500

E.7B Return on Assets

E.7B.1 The current year expected Return on Assets will be estimated annually by the actuary. Any Return on Assets related to any trusts established for the purpose of obtaining preferential tax treatment (i.e., union versus

5

non-union), shall be allocated by the actuary to Palo Verde based on the ability of Palo Verde to participate in such trust.

E.7B.2 As soon as practical after the end of each calendar year, the actual Return on Assets will be determined by the actuary and allocated to Palo Verde. The actuary shall then calculate the allocation of total trust(s) assets at the end of each calendar year to Palo Verde based on current year trust(s) contributions, earnings and distributions. The allocation of trust assets to Palo Verde will be the basis for the allocation of expected Return on Assets annually by the actuary.

E.7C Funding of Postretirement Benefit Costs

E.7C.1 All Postretirement Benefit costs, other than the expected Return on Assets and the TransitionObligation and related interest, as defined in SFAS 106, are to be billed through the Benefits Ratio.

E.7C.2 Postretirement Benefits that have been collected either through the Benefits Load, or as Transition Obligation and related interest, as adjusted for the Return on Assets, shall be funded by the Operating Agent in irrevocable external trusts intended for postretirement health and welfare benefits. Funding will occur within an administratively reasonable time period on approximately a quarterly basis.
