and is an appropriate instrument for the purposes intended;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. Definitions. In addition to the words and terms elsewhere defined
in this Resolution, the capitalized words and terms used herein shall have the meaning given in
Article I of the Indenture.

2701911.2 040177 RSIND
Section 2. Findings and Determination. The Board of Directors of the
Authority finds that (i) the Borrower maintains its corporate headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona;
(ii) the Borrower owns and operates hospital, medical and health care facilities in different
locations both in the State and in other states; (iii) the Borrower is one of the major employers in
the State; (iv) the Borrower is one of the largest providers of hospital, medical and health care
services in the State; and (v) the Borrower typically uses tax exempt or taxable bond financing
on a system-wide rather than a project basis to finance and refinance capital expenditures to its
facilities, wherever located. The Board of Directors of the Authority further finds that the
issuance of the Bonds and the making of a loan to the Borrower for the purpose of refinancing
the Projects, and refunding the Prior Bonds, are in furtherance of the purposes of the Authority
under the Act and will provide an economic benefit to the Borrower by enabling the Borrower to
refinance debt obligations incurred by the Borrower for capital expenditures at the Borrower's
health care facilities within and outside the State. The Board of Directors of the Authority, based
upon its findings, determines that the issuance of the Bonds and the making of a loan to the
Borrower for the purpose of refinancing the Projects, and refunding the Prior Bonds, will provide
a benefit in the State.
Section 3. Authorization to Issue and Sell the Bonds. The Bonds in the

such aggregate principal amounts as set forth in the Indenture but in no event later than 40 years

State within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provisions whatsoever.

considered as obligating the Authority or the State to any pecuniary liability or charge upon the
general credit of the Authority or the State. Furthermore, it is understood that no costs are to be
borne by the Authority with respect to the Projects and the issuance and sale of the Bonds, and

The Authority hereby approves the use of the Official Statement and, if
