defined) shall at all times be junior, subject and subordinate to
the lien of the 1941 Mortgage and the security interest created
thereby; and subject also to the provisions of Article XI of the
Original Indenture;
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Trust Estate and all and singular
the lands, properties, estates, rights, franchises, privileges
and appurtenances hereby granted, bargained, sold, released,
conveyed, assigned, transferred, mortgaged, pledged, set over and

established in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture,
may afford additional security for the Bonds of any particular
series), and shall have the same proportionate interest and share
in the Trust Estate, with the same effect as if all of the Bonds
had been issued, sold and negotiated simultaneously on the date

purposes of calculations under this Indenture
(including calculations under Articles I and III), any
amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars or
in a composite currency shall be converted to Dollar
equivalents by calculating the amount of Dollars which
could have been purchased by the amount of such other
currency based on such quotations or methods of
determination as shall be specified pursuant to this
clause; provided, however, that the instrument
establishing the Bonds of such series or Tranche shall
contain provisions substantially to the effect that if,
at any time when the principal of such Bonds, together
with premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any,
thereon, shall be due and payable or at any time when
there shall be a determination by a court of competent
jurisdiction of the extent to which the obligations of
the Company in respect of the Bonds then Outstanding or
otherwise under this Indenture are deemed to be secured
obligations of the Company, the amount of Dollars into
which an amount equal to the principal of such Bonds
could be converted under then current currency exchange
rates exceeds the amount of Dollars into which an
amount equal to the principal of such Bonds have been
converted under currency exchange rates prevailing at
the time of the initial authentication and delivery of
such Bonds, then the Company's obligation to pay such
excess amount in respect of principal, together with
the associated excess amounts in respect of premium, if
any, and accrued interest, if any, shall be deemed to
be secured by and entitled to the benefit of the Lien
of this Indenture only to the extent that any proceeds
of sale of the Trust Estate and/or any other assets of
the Company subject to such Lien shall exceed the
amount necessary to pay, satisfy and discharge, or duly
provide therefor, all other obligations of the Company
on the Bonds then Outstanding or otherwise under this
Indenture; and, to the extent of any inconsistency
between such provisions so contained in such instrument
and any other provision of this Indenture, such
provisions of such instrument shall control;
(k) if the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Bonds of such series, or any
Tranche thereof, are to be payable, at the election of
the Company or a Holder thereof, in a coin or currency
other than that in which the Bonds are stated to be
payable, the coin or currency in which payment of any
amount as to which such election is made will be
payable, the period or periods within which, and the
terms and conditions upon which, such election may be
made; it being understood that, for purposes of
calculations under this Indenture (including
calculations under Articles I and III), any such
election shall be required to be taken into account, in
the manner contemplated in clause (j) of this
paragraph, only after such election shall have been
made; provided, however, the instrument establishing
the Bonds of such series or Tranche shall contain
provisions having substantially the same effect as the
provisions described in the proviso to clause (j) of
this paragraph;
(l) if the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on the Bonds of such series, or any
Tranche thereof, are to be payable, or are to be
payable at the election of the Company or a Holder
thereof, in securities or other property, the type and
amount of such securities or other property, or the
formulary or other method or other means by which such
amount shall be determined, and the period or periods
within which, and the terms and conditions upon which,
any such election may be made; it being understood that
all calculations under this Indenture (including
calculations under Articles I and III) shall be made on
the basis of the fair market value of such securities
or the fair value of such other property, in either
case determined as of the most recent practicable date,
except that, in the case of any amount of principal or
interest that may be so payable at the election of the
Company or a Holder, if such election shall not yet
have been made, such calculations shall be made on the
basis of the amount of principal or interest, as the
case may be, that would be payable if no such election
were made; provided, however, the instrument
establishing the Bonds of such series or Tranche shall
contain provisions having substantially the same effect
as the provisions described in the proviso to clause
(j) of this paragraph;
(m) if the amount payable in respect of principal
of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the
Bonds of such series, or any Tranche thereof, may be
determined with reference to an index or other fact or
event ascertainable outside of this Indenture, the
manner in which such amounts shall be determined (to
the extent not established pursuant to clause (e) of
this paragraph); it being understood that all
calculations under this Indenture (including
calculations under Articles I and III) shall be made on
the basis of the amount that would be payable as
principal if such principal were due, or on the basis
of the interest rates in effect, as the case may be, on
the date next preceding the date of such calculation;
provided, however, the instrument establishing the
Bonds of such series or Tranche shall contain
provisions having substantially the same effect as the
provisions described in the proviso to clause (j) of
this paragraph;

the portion of the principal amount of Bonds of such
series, or any Tranche thereof, which shall be payable
upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to SECTION 3 of Article VIII;

shall be considered to be Eligible Obligations in
respect of the Bonds of such series, or any Tranche

alternative provisions for the reinstatement of the
Company's indebtedness in respect of such Bonds after
the satisfaction and discharge thereof as provided in
SECTION 1 of Article XV;

thereof, are to be issued in global form, (i) any
limitations on the rights of the Holder or Holders of
such Bonds to transfer or exchange the same or to
obtain the registration of transfer thereof, (ii) any
limitations on the rights of the Holder or Holders
thereof to obtain certificates therefor in definitive
form in lieu of temporary form and (iii) any and all
other matters incidental to such Bonds;
(r) if the Bonds of such series, or any Tranche
thereof, are to be issuable as bearer securities, any

Bonds of such series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be
specified in a Written Order or that such terms shall be
determined by the Company or its agents in accordance with

respectively, to buy or sell, (b) the amount of
investment with respect to such property which,

the Lien of this Indenture on the basis of the
deposit with the Trustee or the trustee or other

benefit of one or more Persons described in clause

TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY
FIRST MORTGAGE BOND, COLLATERAL SERIES DUE 2008
DUE AUGUST 1, 2008
TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, a corporation of the State of
Arizona (hereinafter sometimes called the Company), for value
received, promises to pay to
or registered assigns, the principal sum of DOLLARS
on August 1, 2008, in coin or currency of the United States of
America which at the time of payment shall be legal tender for
the payment of public and private debts, at the office or agency
of the Company in The City of New York, or in the City of Tucson,
Arizona, upon presentation hereof. This Bond shall not bear
interest.
This bond is one of an issue of bonds of the Company, issued
and to be issued in one or more series under and equally and
ratably secured (except as any sinking, amortization,
improvement, renewal or other fund, established in accordance
with the provisions of the indenture hereinafter mentioned, may
afford additional security for the bonds of any particular
series) by the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust, dated as
of December 1, 1992 (the "Original Indenture"), from the Company
to Bank of Montreal Trust Company, trustee (the "Trustee"), as
supplemented by various supplemental indentures including
Supplemental Indenture No. 3, dated as of August 1, 1998 (the
Original Indenture, as so supplemented, and such Supplemental
Indenture being hereinafter called the "Indenture" and
"Supplemental Indenture No. 3", respectively), to which Indenture
reference is hereby made for a description of the property
mortgaged and pledged, the nature and extent of the security
provided by the Indenture, the rights and limitations of rights
of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of said bonds with
respect to the security provided by the Indenture, the powers,
duties and immunities of the Trustee, the terms and conditions
upon which such bonds are and are to be secured, and the
circumstances under which additional bonds may be issued.
The acceptance of this bond shall be deemed to constitute the
consent and agreement by the holder hereof to all of the terms
and provisions of the Indenture. This bond is one of a series of
bonds designated as the First Mortgage Bonds, Collateral Series
due 2008, of the Company.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental
indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of,
the Indenture with the consent of the holders of not less than
sixty per centum (60%) in aggregate principal amount of the bonds
of all series then outstanding under the Indenture, considered as
one class; provided, however, that if there shall be bonds of
more than one series outstanding under the Indenture and if a
proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights
of the holders of bonds of one or more, but less than all, of
such series, then the consent only of the holders of bonds in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding bonds of all series
so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be required;
and provided, further, that if the bonds of any series shall have
been issued in more than one tranche and if the proposed
supplemental indenture shall directly affect the rights of the
holder of bonds of one or more, but less than all, of such
tranches, then the consent only of the holders of bonds in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding bonds of all
tranches so directly affected, considered as one class, shall be
required; and provided, further, that the Indenture permits the
Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for
limited purposes without the consent of any holders of bonds.
Any such consent by the holder of this bond shall be conclusive
and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders of this
bond and of any bond issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent is made upon this bond. The holders of
this bond shall be deemed to have consented to certain amendments
to the Indenture which are specified in Supplemental Indenture
No. 3.
The bonds of this series are being issued and delivered by
the Company to Bank of Montreal Trust Company, as trustee under
the Indenture, dated as of August 1, 1998, as supplemented (the
"1998 Indenture"), of the Company to such trustee (the "1998
Indenture Trustee"), in exchange for other obligations of the
Company which have heretofore been delivered to the 1998
Indenture Trustee, as the basis for the authentication and
delivery of securities under the 1998 Indenture. As provided in
the 1998 Indenture, the bonds of this series are to be registered
in the name of the 1998 Indenture Trustee or its nominee and will
be owned and held by the 1998 Indenture Trustee, subject to the
provisions of the 1998 Indenture, for the benefit of the holders
of all securities from time to time outstanding under the 1998
Indenture, and the Company shall have no interest therein. The
bonds of this series shall not be transferable except as required
to effect transfer to any successor trustee under the 1998
Indenture.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment
by the Company under the 1998 Indenture of the principal of the
securities which shall have been authenticated and delivered
under the 1998 Indenture on the basis of the delivery to the 1998
Indenture Trustee of bonds of this series (other than by the
application of the proceeds of a payment in respect of such bonds
of this series) shall, to the extent thereof, be deemed to
satisfy and discharge the obligation of the Company, if any, to
make a payment of principal of such bonds of this series which is
then due.
The bonds of this series are redeemable prior to maturity at
the option of the Company, as a whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at the principal amount of bonds so to be redeemed.
Notice of redemption shall be given by mail to the holders
of bonds of this series, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days
prior to the redemption date. As provided in the Indenture,
notice of redemption may state that such redemption shall be
conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee, on or prior to the
date fixed for redemption, of money sufficient to pay the
principal of this bond; a notice of redemption so conditioned
shall be of no force or effect if such money is not so received
and, in such event, the Company shall not be required to redeem
this bond.
In the event of redemption of this bond in part only, a new
bond or bonds of this series, of like tenor, for the unredeemed
portion hereof will be issued to the holder hereof upon the
surrender hereof.
The principal of this bond may become or be declared due and
payable before the stated maturity hereof, on the conditions, in
the manner and at the times set forth in the Indenture, upon the
happening of a default as therein provided.
This bond is non-transferable except as required to effect
transfer to any successor trustee under the 1998 Indenture, any
such transfer to be registered at the office or agency of the
Company in The City of New York, upon surrender of this bond by
the registered owner hereof or by attorney authorized in writing,
and upon any such registration of transfer a new bond of this
series, for the same aggregate principal amount and having the
same stated maturity date, will be issued to the transferee in
exchange herefor. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer, the Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the
person in whose name this bond is registered as the absolute
owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all
other purposes. This bond, alone or with other bonds of this
series, may in like manner be exchanged at such office or agency
for one or more bonds of this series of the same aggregate
principal amount and having the same stated maturity date and
interest rate, all as provided in the Indenture.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, this Bond or any portion of the
principal amount hereof will be deemed to have been paid for all
purposes of the Indenture and to be no longer Outstanding
thereunder, and the Company's entire indebtedness in respect
thereof will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged, if
there has been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust, money in an
amount which will be sufficient, and/or Government Obligations,
the principal of and interest on which when due, without regard
to any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which, together
with moneys so deposited, will be sufficient, to pay when due the
principal of and interest on this bond when due.
