RECITALS OF THE COMPANY The Company has executed and delivered the Indenture to the Trustee to provide for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (the "Securities"), said Securities to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Indenture. Pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Company desires to provide for the establishment of a new series of its Securities to be known as its 6.50% Notes due 2012 (herein called the "Notes Due 2012"), the form and substance of such Notes Due 2012 and the terms, provisions, and conditions thereof to be set forth as provided in the Indenture and this Sixth Supplemental Indenture. All things necessary to make this Sixth Supplemental Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, and to make the Notes Due 2012, when executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, the valid obligations of the Company, have been done. NOW, THEREFORE, THIS FIFTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH: For and in consideration of the premises and the purchase of the Notes Due 2012 by the Holders thereof, and for the purpose of setting forth, as provided in the Indenture, the form and substance of the Notes Due 2012 and the terms, provisions, and conditions thereof, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of all Holders of the Notes Due 2012, as follows: ARTICLE ONE GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES DUE 2012 SECTION 101. There shall be and is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the "6.50% Notes due 2012" initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $375,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in any Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes Due 2012. The Notes Due 2012 shall mature and the principal shall be due and payable together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on March 1, 2012, and shall be issued in the form of registered Notes Due 2012 without coupons. The foregoing principal amount of the Notes Due 2012 may be increased from time to time as permitted by Section 301 of the Indenture. All Notes Due 2012 need not be issued at the same time and such series may be reopened at any time, without notice to, or the consent of, the then existing Holders, for issuances 2 of additional Notes Due 2012. Any such additional Notes Due 2012 will be equal in rank and have the same maturity, payment terms, redemption features, and other terms, except for the payment of interest accruing prior to the issue date of the further Notes Due 2012 and for the first payment of interest following the issue date of the further Notes Due 2012, as those initially issued. SECTION 102. The Notes Due 2012 shall be issued in certificated form, except that the Notes Due 2012 shall be issued initially as a Global Security to and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, as Depositary therefor. Any Notes Due 2012 to be issued or transferred to, or to be held by, Cede & Co. (or any successor thereof) for such purpose shall bear the depositary legend in substantially the form set forth at the top of the form of Note Due 2012 in Article Two hereof (in lieu of that set forth in Section 204 of the Indenture), unless otherwise agreed by the Company, such agreement to be confirmed in writing to the Trustee. Such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Notes Due 2012 registered, and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name or names of Persons other than such Depositary or a nominee thereof only under the circumstances set forth in Clause (2) of the last paragraph of Section 305 of the Indenture, or such other circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in Clause (2) of the last paragraph of Section 305 of the Indenture as to which the Company shall agree, such agreement to be confirmed in writing to the Trustee. Principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes Due 2012 will be payable, the transfer of Notes Due 2012 will be registrable and Notes Due 2012 will be exchangeable for Notes Due 2012 bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City and State of New York; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at such address as shall appear in the Security Register. SECTION 103. Each Note Due 2012 will bear interest at the rate of 6.50% from March 1, 2002 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date (as hereinafter defined) to which interest has been paid or duly provided for until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment, payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing on September 1, 2002, to the person in whose name such Note Due 2012 or any Predecessor Security is registered, at the close of business on February 15 or August 15, as the case may be, whether or not a Business Day, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holders on such regular record date, and may be paid to the person in whose name the Note Due 2012 (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the registered holders of the Notes Due 2012 not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes Due 2012 may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The amount of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Interest will accrue from March 1, 2002 to, but not including, the relevant payment date. In the event that any 3 date on which interest is payable on the Notes Due 2012 is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay), in each case with the same force and effect as if made on such date. A "Business Day" shall mean any day, except a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday in the City of New York on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. SECTION 104. The Company, at its option, may redeem all, or, from time to time any part of the Notes Due 2012, upon notice as provided in the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (a) the principal amount of the Notes Due 2012 (or portion thereof) to be redeemed plus interest (if any) accrued to the Redemption Date or (b) the Make-Whole Amount with respect to the Notes Due 2012 to be redeemed. For purposes of this Section 104, the following terms shall have the following meanings: "MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT" means the sum, as determined by a Quotation Agent, of the present values of the principal amount of the Notes Due 2012 to be redeemed, together with scheduled payments of interest (exclusive of interest to the Redemption Date) from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of the Notes Due 2012, in each case discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, plus accrued interest (if any) on the principal amount of the Notes Due 2012 being redeemed to the Redemption Date. "ADJUSTED TREASURY RATE" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated "H.15 (519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining term of the Notes Due 2012, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such Redemption Date, in each case calculated on the third Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, plus in each case 0.25%. "COMPARABLE TREASURY ISSUE" means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of the Notes Due 2012 that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial 4 practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes Due 2012. "QUOTATION AGENT" means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. "REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER" means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer selected by the Company. "COMPARABLE TREASURY PRICE" means, with respect to any Redemption Date, if clause (ii) of the definition of Adjusted Treasury Rate is applicable, the average of three, or such lesser number as is obtained by the Trustee, Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date. "REFERENCE TREASURY DEALER QUOTATIONS" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date. The Trustee shall be under no duty to inquire into, may conclusively presume the correctness of, and shall be fully protected in acting upon the Company's calculation of any Redemption Price, including any Make-Whole Amount. The Company shall give the Trustee written notice of the Redemption Price, promptly after the calculation thereof. Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Indenture, any notice of redemption given pursuant to said Section with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. SECTION 105. The Notes Due 2012 shall be defeasible pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 of the Indenture. ARTICLE TWO FORM OF NOTES DUE 2012 SECTION 201. The Notes Due 2012 and the Trustee's certificate of authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the following forms: Form of Face of Security: 5 UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY, A NEW YORK CORPORATION ("DTC"), TO ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE, OR PAYMENT, AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO.
