These notes, sold for an effective interest rate of 3.47%, will mature on July 1, 1974 (see Schedule I). The Supply System presently lans to sell all or a portion of the permanent bonds required to finance construction L-of the Project as soon as practicable af ter the construction permit and site certificatlJn have been obtained, now anticipated I to be early in 1973, and to refund the Notes at that time. The Supply System has retained Lehman Brothers, Inc., t 1-So. Williams Street, N. Y., N. Y. and Lazard Frdres & Co., 44 Wall Street, N. Y., N. Y., as Financial Consultants to render 7T2: advice as to financing methods, timing, bond market conditions and other matters related to the most effective means of revenue bond financing the costs of construction. The Supply System has also retained Wood, King, Dawson,
. Love & Sabatine, Attorneys, 48 Wall Street, N. Y., N. Y., as Bond Counsel to review contracts, bond resolutions and proposed financing, and assist the Supply System in arranging financing.
The WPPSS Financial Consultants have advised the
~
Supply System that the revenue bonds required for Project financing, _ (~ should be.readily marketable and should be rated at least as A-3 i
favorably as.those previously issued. -
-'i - 4. Previous Bond Financing, Interest Costs
1
- and Bonds Outstanding The Supply System has previously financed two generating f .mmwus++
projects by issuance and sale of tax exempt revenue bonds. The j; e, I 112-Packwood Lajge Hydroelectric Project Bonds in the . amount of
$10,500,000 were sold in 1962. The Hanford Electric Generating ?m"L Plant Bonds in the amount of $122,000,000 were sold in 1963. l3 I'7 Completion Bonds for the Packwood Project, in the amount of
$3,200,000, were sold in'1965.
The Packwood Lake Hydroelectric Project is located near the town of Packwood in Lewis County, Washington. The Project utilizes the outflow of Packwood Lake in a drop of 1850 feet to the Cowlitz River. The Project has a rated capacity of 31,500
; kilowatts. The power produced is delivered to power purchasers over the BPA transmission system. Packwood Lake Hydroelectric Project Bonds bear an effective interest rate of 3.66% and are payable solely out of revenues from the Project.
The 800,000 kilowatt Hanford Electric Generating Plant, also called Hanford No. 1, was financed by the issuance of
$122,000,000 of Hanford Project Electric Revenue Bonds, Series of 1963, on April 1, 1963. These bonds are payable solely from revenues of the Project and are secured by Exchange Agreements with seventy-six participating utilities of the Pacific Northwest, both publicly and privately owned. Under contractual arrange-ments similar to those employed on the present Project, the participating utilities agreed to purchase the entire output of
( the Hanford Electric Generating Plant and to exchange that 1 A-4

The Hanford Generating ProjectLutilizes by-product steam produced.in the dual-purpose N-Reactor of the United States Atomic
~
Energy Commission. The Project first generated power on April 6, 1966 and'has,since that time generated in' excess of 13,000,000,000 , kilowatt hours of. energy.

-was 3.26%.. As of September 1, 1971, approximately $73,000,000 Ch'jr.
,,r" in bonds are ' outstanding on the Project.
The Supply System does not. issue general obligation bonds f k and each project-is financed as a~=:.2..self-supporting separate utility; system.- The governing body of the Supply System authorizes the , issuance of bonds for each project based upon'a " plan and system" which' commits the facilities and assets of that project to the L revenue bonds issued to finance the construction. The bonds issued by the Supply System .have all been of fered under_ the laws of the State of Washington. Each issue has been rated by bond rating agencies. Packwood bonds were-rated "A" by Moodys. Hanford No. 1 bonds were rated "A-1" by Moodys. In the issuance of Nuclear Project No. 2 Revenue Notes, Standard & Poor rated the notes as "AA" and Moodys rates these notes as "A".
- 5. Nuclear Insurance h::Ci The Supply System will have arranged to acquire nuclear liability . insurance to the extent available from the Nuclear Energy Liability Insurance Association (NELIA) and Mutual Atomic Energy Liability Underwriters (MAELU) prior to arrival of nuclear fuel I at the Project site.

Additionally, the Supply System will have acquired coverage to the extent available from the aforementioned pools t
-for-any third-party liability for bodily injury or personal injury F-~~~
anc property. damage from nuclear perils for which it may have responsibility during processing or transport of atomic products. During the course of construction the Supply System will provide builder's risk coverage for its contractors and subcontractors. The Supply System proposes to acquire "all risk" property damage insurance, including nuclear perils, to the limits _of I coverage available from Nuclear Energy Property Insurance Asso- i l
- ciation (NEPIA) and Mutual Atomic Energy Reinsurance Pool (MAERP).
In regard to nuclear energy liability and property insurance the supply System will select a broker of record to act in its behalf in submitting an application for such insurance. ( s a ( 4 A-6

The Bond Fund Trustee shall be entitled and empowered either in its own name or as a trustee of an express trust, or as an attorney in fact for the holders of the Bonds and the coupons appurtenant thereto, or in any one or more of such capacities, to fue such proof of debt, amendment of proof of - debt, claim, petition or other doemnent as may be necessary or advis-able in order to have the claims of the Bond Fund Trustee and of the holders of the Bonds and of the coupons appurtenant thereto allowed . in any equity, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, re-w _.w

~
. proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken; or (ii) if the Bond Fund Trustee in good faith shall determine that the action or pro-ceeding so directed would involve the Bond Fund Trustee in personal
," liability; or (iii) that the action or proceeding so directed would be
82 unjustly prejudicial to the holders of Bonds not parties to such
-direction. .

Notwith-standing the appointment of any receiver, the Bond Fund Trustee shall be entitled to retain possession and control of and to collect and receive income from any moneys, securities, funds and Revenues deposited or pledged with it under the Resolution or agreed or provided to be delivered to or deposited or pledged with it under the Resolution. l - The Bond Fund Trustee may without the happening of an Event of Default and, at the request of the holders of not less than a majority of the Bonds then outstanding and upon being furnished with reason- , I able security and indemnity, shall take such steps and institute such r
