     IN TRUST  NEVERTHELESS,  for the  same  purposes  and upon the same  terms,
trusts and conditions and subject to and with the same provisos and covenants as
are set forth in the Mortgage, as supplemented and amended.

     AND IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED by the Company that all the terms,  conditions,
provisos,  covenants and provisions  contained in the Mortgage,  as supplemented
and amended,  shall affect and apply to the property hereinbefore  described and
conveyed and to the estate,  rights,  obligations  and duties of the Company and

and to the Trustee and its  successors  as Trustee of said  property in the same

Company at the time of the  execution of the Mortgage and had been  specifically
and at length  described  in and  conveyed to said  Trustee by the Mortgage as a
part of the property therein stated to be conveyed.

     The Company  further  covenants  and agrees to and with the Trustee and its
successors in said trust under the Mortgage, as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I.
                          SIXTY-FIRST SERIES OF BONDS.

     SECTION  1.  There  shall be a  series  of bonds  designated  "1.70%  First
Mortgage Bonds, Maricopa 1994 Series C (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the
"Sixty-first Series" or the "Bonds"),  limited to the aggregate principal amount
of  $57,000,000,  each of which  shall  also bear the  descriptive  title  First
Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof, which shall be established by Resolution of
the Board of Directors of the Company,  shall contain  suitable  provisions with
respect to the matters  hereinafter  specified in this  Supplemental  Indenture.
Bonds of the Sixty-first  Series shall be dated as provided in Section 10 of the
Mortgage;  shall be  issued  as a single  fully  registered  bond,  and shall be
registered  in the name of the  Maricopa  Trustee;  shall  evidence,  secure and
provide for the payment of the Company's Loan Agreement Payment Obligations; and
shall be payable on each date provided in or pursuant to the Maricopa  Indenture
for the payment of principal  (whether upon redemption or acceleration)  of, and
interest  on, the  Maricopa  Bonds,  until the  principal of and interest on the
Maricopa  Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment  thereof
shall have been made in accordance  with the Maricopa  Indenture,  in the amount
then payable as principal and interest upon the Maricopa Bonds; and on each date
provided  in or  pursuant  to the  Maricopa  Indenture  for the  payment  of the
purchase price of the Maricopa  Bonds  tendered for purchase in accordance  with
Section 2.01(d) or Section 2.01(e) of the Maricopa Indenture, in the amount then
payable as such purchase  price of the tendered  Maricopa  Bonds,  to the extent
proceeds of the remarketing of such tendered  Maricopa Bonds are insufficient to
pay the  purchase  price  thereof;  provided,  however,  that  the  Bonds  shall
terminate  and expire  and shall be of no further  force and effect at 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time on the Termination Date (defined below). The principal and
purchase  price of and  interest on the Bonds shall be payable by the Company to
the Maricopa Trustee,  as pledgee and assignee of the Issuer, in accordance with
the requirements of the Maricopa  Indenture.  All payments by the Company on the
Bonds shall be made on or prior to the due date thereof.

     The Bonds of the Sixty-first Series will terminate and expire, and be of no
further force and effect,  at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the earlier of:
(1) the  effective  date of the first Rate  Period (as  defined in the  Maricopa
Indenture)  immediately  following  the Term Rate  Period and (2) the first date
during or after the Term Rate Period on which the Maricopa  Bonds are subject to
mandatory tender pursuant to Section 2.01(e) of the Maricopa Indenture,  in each
case, as long as tendering holders of Maricopa Bonds have been paid the purchase

                                       9
<PAGE>
price for the  Maricopa  Bonds  pursuant  to any  optional or  mandatory  tender
occurring on the Termination Date and the Company is not otherwise in default in
its Loan Agreement  Payment  Obligations under Section 4.2 of the Loan Agreement
on such date.  In the event that on the date  specified  in clause (1) or (2) of
the immediately preceding sentence, tendering holders of Maricopa Bonds have not
been paid the  purchase  price for  tendered  Maricopa  Bonds or the  Company is
otherwise in default in such Loan Agreement Payment Obligations,  the Bonds will
terminate  and  expire  on the  first  date  thereafter  on which  such  payment
obligations have been satisfied.  Such date of termination and expiration of the
Bonds is herein referred to as the "Termination Date."

     The Company  shall have no  obligation to make payments with respect to the
Bonds unless and until,  and only to the extent that,  payments shall be due and
payable  on the  Maricopa  Bonds to and  including  the  Termination  Date.  Any
provision  hereof to the contrary  notwithstanding,  the Company shall receive a
credit against its obligation to make any payment of interest on the Bonds in an
amount  equal to the amount,  if any,  held by the  Maricopa  Trustee  under the
Maricopa  Indenture  on  deposit in the Bond Fund (as  defined  in the  Maricopa
Indenture)  and  available  to make the  corresponding  payment on the  Maricopa
Bonds. In addition, the Company shall receive a credit against its obligation to
make any payment of  principal  or  purchase  price of the Bonds,  whether  upon
redemption,  acceleration  or tender of the Maricopa  Bonds or otherwise,  in an
amount  equal to the amount,  if any,  held by the  Maricopa  Trustee  under the
Maricopa  Indenture  on  deposit  in said  Bond Fund and  available  to make the
corresponding payment on the Maricopa Bonds.

     The Company  covenants and agrees that,  prior to the Termination  Date, it
will not take any action (except as described  herein or as  contemplated in the
Maricopa  Indenture  or the Loan  Agreement)  that would  cause the  outstanding
principal  amount  of the  Bonds of the  Sixty-first  Series to be less than the
outstanding principal amount of the Maricopa Bonds.

     SECTION  2.  Upon  payment  of the  principal  of and  interest  due on the
Maricopa Bonds, whether by acceleration or otherwise,  or upon provision for the
payment  thereof  having been made in  accordance  with the Maricopa  Indenture,
whether with payments  made pursuant to the Bonds or with other funds  available
for such payment,  Bonds in a principal  amount equal to the principal amount of
Maricopa  Bonds so paid or for which such  provision  for  payment has been made
shall be deemed fully paid,  satisfied and discharged and the obligations of the
Company  thereunder  shall be terminated  and such Bonds shall be surrendered to
and  cancelled  by the  Trustee.  The Company  will issue and the  Trustee  will
authenticate a new Bond for the unpaid portion thereof.

     SECTION 3. Bonds of the  Sixty-first  Series  shall be held by the Maricopa
Trustee and shall not be  transferable  except to its permitted  successors  and
assigns under the Maricopa Indenture. The Maricopa Trustee, as the holder of the
Bonds,  shall attend  meetings of bondholders  under the Mortgage or deliver its
proxy in connection  therewith.  Either at such meeting,  or otherwise  when the
consent of the holders of the Bonds is sought  without a meeting,  the  Maricopa
Trustee  shall vote as the holder of the Bonds,  or shall  consent  with respect
thereto;  provided,  however,  that the Maricopa Trustee shall not vote in favor
of, or consent to, any  modification  of the Mortgage  which is correlative to a
modification of the Maricopa Indenture or the Loan Agreement which would require
the approval of owners of Maricopa  Bonds  without the approval of the owners of
Maricopa Bonds and other bonds issued under the Maricopa  Indenture  which would
be required for such correlative modification of such Maricopa Indenture or Loan
Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE II.
                    REDEMPTION OF BONDS AND OTHER PROVISIONS

     The Bonds shall be redeemed, in whole or in part, from time to time, on the
date on which a corresponding  principal amount of Maricopa Bonds is redeemed as
provided in the Maricopa Indenture,  upon the Maricopa Trustee's notification of
the Trustee of such  redemption,  at a redemption  price equal to the redemption
price of such  Maricopa  Bonds  being so  redeemed.  Any  such  notice  shall be
received by the Trustee no later than 5 days prior to any redemption  date fixed
for the Bonds to be  redeemed  and shall  specify the  principal  amount of such
Bonds to be redeemed, the redemption date, and the amount of accrued interest to
be paid  thereon.  The  Company  shall  deposit in trust with the Trustee on the
redemption date an amount of money  sufficient to pay the principal  amount plus
accrued interest, if any, on the Bonds to be redeemed.  Upon presentation to the
Trustee of any Bonds by the Maricopa  Trustee for payment under this Article II,
such  Bonds so  presented  shall be  redeemed  and paid in full to the extent so
redeemed.  In the event of  redemption  of the Bonds in part only, a new bond of
the Sixty-first Series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion thereof will
be issued in the name of the Maricopa  Trustee upon the cancellation of the then
existing Bond.

     Redemption of the Bonds shall be effected,  without  further  notice by the
Company  to  the  Trustee,  by the  payment  by the  Company  of the  applicable
redemption price specified in this Article II at the place specified for payment
of principal of and interest on such bonds.

     In the  event the  principal  of all  Maricopa  Bonds is  declared  due and
payable pursuant to the Maricopa Indenture,  upon the filing with the Trustee of
a written demand for the  acceleration of the payment of principal of all Bonds,
the payment of principal on all Bonds shall become immediately due and payable.

     The Bonds will not be subject to prepayment or redemption prior to maturity
except as provided herein, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 39, Section
64 or Section 87 of the Mortgage,  or with  "Proceeds of Released  Property," as
defined in the Mortgage.

     The Company hereby covenants and agrees that until the Termination Date, it
will not  consolidate  with or merge  into any other  corporation,  or convey or
transfer,  subject to the Lien of the Indenture, all or substantially all of the
Mortgaged and Pledged Property as an entirety.

     The Bonds will not be subject to any sinking fund.

Mortgage,  which  were to  remain  in  effect  so long as any bonds of the First
Series  remained  Outstanding,  shall remain in full force and effect so long as
any bonds of the Sixty-first Series are Outstanding.
