$115 million of TEP’s variable rate bonds are backed by LOCs issued pursuant to TEP’s Credit Agreement, which expires in November 2016, and TEP’s Reimbursement Agreement, which expires in December 2019. Although the variable rate bonds mature between 2022 and 2032, the above table reflects a redemption or repurchase of such bonds in 2016 and 2019 as though the LOCs terminate without replacement upon expiration of the TEP Credit Agreement. TEP's 2013 tax-exempt variable rate IDBs, which mature in 2032, are subject to mandatory tender for purchase after the current five-year term and are therefore reflected as maturing in 2018. The repayment of TEP Unsecured Notes is not reduced by the approximately $1 million discount.
