ARTICLE III

CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT; ISSUANCE OF THE BONDS

SECTION 3.1. AGREEMENT BY THE COMPANY TO CONSTRUCT AND EQUIP THE PROJECT;

DISCLAIMERS BY THE ISSUER. The Company agrees that it will acquire or construct,

or complete the acquisition and construction of, the Project in Navajo County,

Arizona, substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications. Since

the Project has been or will be acquired, constructed and equipped by the

Company and by contractors and suppliers selected by the Company, THE ISSUER

MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE

MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OR WORKMANSHIP OF ANY PART OF THE PROJECT OR ITS

SUITABILITY FOR THE COMPANY'S PURPOSES OR THE EXTENT TO WHICH PROCEEDS DERIVED

FROM THE SALE OF THE BONDS WILL PAY THE COSTS TO BE INCURRED IN CONNECTION

THEREWITH OR THE ACTUAL OR DESIGNED CAPACITY OF THE PROJECT, OR THE FITNESS OF

THE PROJECT FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE COMPANY.

In the event that Exhibit A hereto is to be amended or supplemented in

accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 of the Indenture, the Issuer will

enter into, and will instruct the Trustee to consent to, an amendment of or

supplement to Exhibit A hereto upon receipt of:

A hereto and such other documents, certificates and showings as may be

required by counsel rendering the opinion in clause (iii) of this

paragraph; and

complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, is in proper form for

execution and delivery by the Issuer and will not adversely affect the

validity of the Bonds or the exemption from federal income taxes of the

interest thereon.

order to provide funds to finance the Cost of the Project, the Issuer agrees

that it will issue under the Indenture, sell and cause to be delivered to the

Underwriter, the Bonds, bearing interest and maturing as set forth in the

Indenture. There will be no accrued interest received upon the delivery of the

Bonds, and, therefore, the Issuer will cause all of the proceeds (net of

underwriting discount, if any) received from the sale of the Bonds to be

deposited in the Construction Fund.

<PAGE>

SECTION 3.3. DISBURSEMENTS FROM THE CONSTRUCTION FUND. The Issuer hereby

authorizes and directs the Trustee, upon compliance with Section 6.7 of the

Indenture, to disburse the moneys in the Construction Fund to or on behalf of

the Company for the following purposes (but, subject to the provisions of

Sections 3.4 and 3.5 hereof, for no other purpose):

necessary to reimburse the Company in full for all advances and payments

or any aspect thereof) and the construction and acquisition of the Project.

(b) Payment of the initial or acceptance fee of the Trustee, legal,

financial and accounting fees and expenses, the Issuer's fees and expenses,

contract relating to the Project.

(h) Interest on the Bonds and payment of certain fees (as identified

(i) Payment of any other costs which constitute part of the Cost of

-7-

<PAGE>

the Act and will not affect the exemption from federal income taxes of

interest on any of the Bonds.

(j) For transfer to the Rebate Fund in order to comply with the

provisions of the Tax Agreement.

All moneys remaining in the Construction Fund after the Completion Date and

after payment or provision for payment of all other items provided for in the

preceding subsections (a) to (j), inclusive, of this Section, shall at the

direction of the Company be used in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.

SECTION 3.4. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPLETION DATE; OBLIGATION OF THE COMPANY TO

COMPLETE. As soon as practicable after the completion of construction of the

Project, and in any event not more than ninety (90) days thereafter, the Company

shall furnish to the Trustee a certificate signed by an Authorized Company

Representative stating (i) that construction of the Project has been completed

substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications, (ii) the

Completion Date, (iii) the Cost of the Project, (iv) the portion of the Cost of

the Project which has then been paid and (v) the portion of the Cost of the

Project which has not yet then been paid. Such certificate may state that it is

given without prejudice to any rights against third parties which exist at the

date of such certificate or which may subsequently come into being.

Moneys (including investment proceeds) remaining in the Construction Fund

on the date of such certificate may be used, at the direction of an Authorized

Company Representative, to the extent indicated, for the payment, in accordance

with the provisions of this Agreement, of any Cost of the Project not then paid

as specified in the above-mentioned certificate. Any moneys (including

investment proceeds) remaining in the Construction Fund on the date of the

aforesaid certificate and not so set aside for the payment of such Cost of the

Project shall be transferred or disbursed in accordance with Section 1.142-2 of

the Regulations (as defined in the Tax Agreement) or any successor thereto. The

Company acknowledges that these provisions generally require that a portion of

the Bonds be redeemed, or defeased to the first call date (with appropriate

notice to the Internal Revenue Service), within 90 days of the earlier of (i)

the date on which the Company determines that the Project will not be completed

or (ii) the date on which the Project is Placed-in-Service (as defined in the

Tax Agreement).

In the event the moneys in the Construction Fund available for payment of

the Cost of the Project should not be sufficient to pay the costs thereof in

full, the Company agrees to pay or to deposit in the Construction Fund moneys

sufficient to pay, the costs of completing the Project as may be in excess of

the moneys available therefor in the Construction Fund. The Issuer does not make

any warranty, either express or implied, that the moneys which will be paid into

the Construction Fund and which, under the provisions of this Agreement, will be

available for payment of the Cost of the Project, will be sufficient to pay all

the costs which will be incurred in that connection. The Company agrees that if

after exhaustion of the moneys in the Construction Fund the Company should pay,

or deposit moneys in the Construction Fund for the payment of, any portion of

the Cost of the Project pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Company

shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Issuer or from the

Trustee or from

 

-8-

<PAGE>

the owners of any of the Bonds, nor shall the Company be entitled to any

diminution of the loan repayment installments or other amounts payable under

Section 4.2 hereof.

SECTION 3.5. INSPECTION OF PROJECT. The Company agrees that the Issuer, the

Trustee and their duly authorized agents shall have the right at all reasonable

times during business hours, subject to the Company's usual safety and security

requirements and reasonable confidentiality agreements with respect to

proprietary information, to examine and inspect the Project without interference

or prejudice to the Company's operations.

SECTION 3.6. INVESTMENT OF MONEYS IN THE CONSTRUCTION FUND, THE BOND FUND

AND THE REBATE FUND. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, any moneys held

as a part of the Construction Fund, the Bond Fund or the Rebate Fund shall at

the written direction (or the oral direction confirmed in writing) of an

Authorized Company Representative be invested or reinvested by the Trustee as

provided in Article VII of the Indenture and in the Tax Agreement, to the extent

permitted by law, in Permitted Investments. Any such direction shall certify

that any investment so directed to be made constitutes a Permitted Investment

and that such investment is permitted to be made under the Indenture, the Tax

Agreement and this Agreement. The Trustee may make any and all such investments

through its own trust investment department or the trust investment department

of any of its affiliates.

Any moneys held as part of the Bond Purchase Fund or the Bond Fund-Credit

Facility Account, any moneys held for the payment of a particular Bond and any

moneys being held by the Trustee pursuant to clause (a)(ii) of the definition of

Available Moneys in Article I of the Indenture shall only be invested by the

Trustee overnight in Governmental Obligations or securities rated AAA or Aaa by

each Rating Agency then rating the Bonds.

The investments purchased pursuant to this Section 3.6 and Article VII of

the Indenture shall be held by the Trustee and shall be deemed at all times a

part of the Construction Fund or the Bond Fund or the Rebate Fund, and any

account or subaccount of any of the foregoing, as the case may be, and the

interest accruing thereon and any profit realized therefrom shall be credited to

such fund, and any account or subaccount therein, and any net losses resulting

from such investment shall be charged to such fund, and any account or

subaccount therein.

The Company covenants that any funds (including investment proceeds) on

deposit in the Construction Fund more than three years after the date of

delivery of the Bonds will not be invested to produce a yield greater than the

yield on the Bonds, all as such terms are used in and determined in accordance

with the regulations promulgated or proposed under relevant provisions of the

Code and shall be treated as provided in the Tax Agreement.

SECTION 3.7. ARBITRAGE CERTIFICATIONS. The Company reasonably expects,

based on its knowledge, information and belief, and hereby certifies and

represents to the Issuer, and the Issuer hereby certifies that it reasonably

expects, based solely on the certifications and representations of the Company,

that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the

Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" under Section 148 of the Code and

regulations prescribed under that Section. The Company certifies and covenants

with all purchasers and owners of the Bonds from time to time outstanding that,

so long as any of the

 

-9-

<PAGE>

Bonds remain outstanding, moneys on deposit in any fund or account in connection

with the Bonds, whether or not such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the

sale of the Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which

will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code, and

any lawful regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder.

ARTICLE IV

LOAN OF BOND PROCEEDS; COMPANY PAYMENTS

SECTION 4.1. LOAN OF BOND PROCEEDS. The Issuer hereby agrees, upon the

terms and conditions in this Agreement, to lend to the Company the proceeds

(there being no accrued interest) received by the Issuer from the sale of the

Bonds.

SECTION 4.2. LOAN REPAYMENTS; OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE. (a) On or before each

date provided in or pursuant to the Indenture for the payment of principal of,

premium, if any, and/or interest on the Bonds, including Pledged Bonds and

Company Bonds, until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the

Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have

been made in accordance with the Indenture, the Company covenants and agrees to

pay to the Trustee in federal or other immediately available funds at the

Principal Office of the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund, as a loan

repayment installment pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, a sum equal to the amount

payable on such date as principal (whether at maturity, or upon redemption or

acceleration), premium, if any, and interest upon the Bonds, including Pledged

Bonds and Company Bonds, as provided in the Indenture; provided, however, that

the obligation of the Company to make any such payment shall be reduced by the

amount of moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund on any such date and available to

pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds on such date

(excluding moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund for the payment of past due

principal of or premium, if any, or interest on Bonds in cases where Bonds have

not been presented for payment or interest checks have not been cashed);

provided further, that in any event the payments under this Section 4.2(a) shall

at all times be sufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and

interest on the Bonds, and if on any date on which the payment of the principal

of, or premium, if any, or interest on, Bonds is due, the Trustee shall not have

sufficient moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund and available therefor to make

each such payment in full, the Company shall immediately pay to the Trustee in

immediately available funds an amount equal to such deficiency. Each payment

made pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) shall be made during normal banking hours.

In the event the Company should fail to make any of the payments required in

(i) moneys drawn under the Credit Facility or (ii) any other source under the

Indenture so long as the amounts are available for such purpose.

(b) The Company agrees to pay the Trustee (1) the reasonable costs and

expenses of the Trustee, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,

incurred by the Trustee in entering into and executing the Indenture and (2) (i)

an amount equal to the reasonable annual fee of the Trustee for the ordinary

fines, penalties and expenses (including out-of pocket and incidental expenses

and fees and expenses of in-house or outside counsel) ("Losses") arising out of

or willful misconduct of the Trustee, or (ii) its following any instructions or

other directions from the Company, except to the extent that its following any
