Base Rentals; Payment of Series 2009 Certificates. The Series 2009 Certificates are payableannually solely from Base Rentals payable under the 2009 Lease and certain other limited funds. TheCounty may determine not to renew, and therefore terminate its obligations under, the 2009 Lease on anannual basis. See “APPENDIX B - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF LEGALDOCUMENTS - The 2009 Lease - Nonappropriation.” See also “RISK FACTORS - Right of the CountyNot to Renew and to Terminate the 2009 Lease Annually - Results of Termination of the 2009 Lease” and“USE OF PROCEEDS - Base Rentals.”

Each Certificate evidences a proportionate interest in the right of the Trust to receive BaseRentals under the 2009 Lease and other Revenues. The Series 2009 Certificates are payable solely fromRevenues as, when, and if the same are received by the Trustee. The 2009 Lease and the Series 2009Certificates do not constitute a mandatory charge or requirement of the County in any ensuing Fiscal Yearbeyond the then current Fiscal Year, do not constitute or give rise to a general obligation or otherindebtedness of the County within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation and donot constitute a multiple fiscal year direct or indirect County debt or other financial obligationwhatsoever. The execution and delivery by the Trustee of the Series 2009 Certificates does not directly orindirectly obligate the County to renew the 2009 Lease from Fiscal Year to Fiscal Year or to make anypayments beyond those budgeted and appropriated for the County’s then current Fiscal Year.

Payment of Principal and Interest

While the Series 2009 Certificates remain in book entry only form, payments to BeneficialOwners are governed by the rules of DTC as described below under “Book Entry Form” and in“APPENDIX E - DTC BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM.” If DTC ceases to act as securities depository for theSeries 2009 Certificates, payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2009 Certificates is to bemade as provided in the 2009 Indenture.

Book Entry System

The Series 2009 Certificates will be issued in fully registered form and registered initially in thename of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York (“DTC”),which will serve as securities depository for the Series 2009 Certificates (the “Depository”). Ownershipinterests in the Series 2009 Certificates (“Beneficial Ownership Interests”), in non-certificated book-entryonly form, may be purchased in authorized denominations by or through participants in the DTC system(“DTC Participants”). Such Beneficial Ownership Interests will be recorded in the name of thepurchasers thereof (“Beneficial Owners”) on the books of the DTC Participants from whom they areacquired, and will be governed as to payment of principal and interest and the receipt of notices and othercommunications with respect to the Series 2009 Certificates, prior redemption, transfers and various othermatters by the rules and operating procedures applicable to the DTC book-entry system as described in“APPENDIX E - DTC BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM.”

Transfer and Exchange

While the Series 2009 Certificates remain in book entry only form, transfers of ownership byBeneficial Owners may be made as described above under “Book Entry System” and in “APPENDIX E -DTC BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM.” In the event that DTC ceases to act as securities depository for theSeries 2009 Certificates, transfers may be affected as provided in the 2009 Indenture.

Redemption

The Series 2009 Certificates are subject to redemption prior to their respective maturities asdescribed below:

Optional Redemption. If the County exercises its rights to purchase the Leased Property or tootherwise prepay Base Rentals under the 2009 Lease with the approval of Special Counsel, the Series2009 Certificates maturing on or after December 1, 2019 are subject to redemption prior to maturity, inwhole or in part, in integral multiples of $5,000 on December 1, 2018 and on any date thereafter, at aredemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemptiondate. See “APPENDIX B - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS -The 2009 Lease - Purchase Option.”

Partial Redemption. If less than all of the Series 2009 Certificates are to be redeemed, the Series2009 Certificates are to be redeemed only in integral multiples of $5,000. The Trustee is to treat anySeries 2009 Certificates of a denomination greater than $5,000 as representing that number of separateSeries 2009 Certificates each of the denomination of $5,000 as can be obtained by dividing the actualprincipal amount of such Series 2009 Certificates by $5,000. Upon surrender of any Series 2009Certificates for redemption in part, the Trustee is to execute and deliver to the Owner thereof, at noexpense of the Owner, a new Series 2009 Certificates or Series 2009 Certificates of authorizeddenominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Series 2009Certificates so surrendered.

Extraordinary Mandatory Redemption. If the 2009 Lease is terminated by reason of theoccurrence of (1) an Event of Nonappropriation or (2) an Event of Lease Default or (3) the Trustee, at thedirection of the County, fails to repair or replace the Leased Property if: (a) the Leased Property isdamaged or destroyed in whole or in part by fire or other casualty; (b) title to, or the temporary orpermanent use of, the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, has been taken by eminent domain by anygovernmental body; (c) breach of warranty or any material defect with respect to the Leased Propertybecomes apparent; or (d) title to or the use of all or any portion of the Leased Property is lost by reason ofa defect in title thereto, and the Net Proceeds (as defined in the 2009 Lease) of any insurance,performance bond or condemnation award, or Net Proceeds received as a consequence of defaults undercontracts relating to the Leased Property, made available by reason of such occurrences, are insufficientto pay in full, the cost of repairing or replacing the Leased Property and the County does not appropriatesufficient funds for such purpose or cause the 2009 Lease to be amended in order that AdditionalCertificates may be executed and delivered pursuant to the 2009 Indenture, the Series 2009 Certificatesare required to be called for redemption. If so called for redemption the Series 2009 Certificates are to beredeemed in whole on such date or dates as the Trustee may, for a redemption price equal to the principalamount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the availability of funds asdescribed below).

The Trustee may not apply any Net Proceeds or other available moneys to the redemption of anySeries 2009 Certificates prior to their respective maturity dates. The Trustee is required to (1) allocatesuch Net Proceeds (together with any other available moneys held under the 2009 Indenture),proportionately among all outstanding Series 2009 Certificates and (2) apply such allocation of NetProceeds to the payment of principal of and interest on the Series 2009 Certificates on the regularlyscheduled maturity and Interest Payment Dates of the Series 2009 Certificates.

If the Net Proceeds, including the Net Proceeds from the exercise of any Lease Remedy under the2009 Lease, otherwise received and other moneys then available under the 2009 Indenture are insufficientto pay in full the principal of and accrued interest on all Outstanding Certificates, the Trustee may, or atthe request of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates, andupon indemnification as to costs and expenses as provided in the 2009 Indenture, without any further

demand or notice, is required to exercise all or any combination of “Lease Remedies” as provided in the2009 Lease and the Series 2009 Certificates are to be redeemed by the Trustee from the Net Proceedsresulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and all other moneys, if any, then on hand and beingheld by the Trustee for the Owners of the Series 2009 Certificates.

If the Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys areinsufficient to redeem the Series 2009 Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interestaccrued to the redemption date, then such Net Proceeds resulting from the exercise of such LeaseRemedies and other moneys are to be allocated proportionately among the Series 2009 Certificates,according to the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that such Net Proceeds resulting fromthe exercise of such Lease Remedies and other moneys are in excess of the amount required to redeem theSeries 2009 Certificates at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the redemptiondate, then such excess moneys are to be paid to the County as an overpayment of the Purchase OptionPrice in respect of the Leased Property. Prior to any distribution of the Net Proceeds resulting from theexercise of any of such remedies, the Trustee is entitled to payment of its reasonable and customary feesfor all services rendered in connection with such disposition, as well as reimbursement for all reasonablecosts and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred thereby, from proceeds resulting from the exerciseof such Lease Remedies and other moneys.

IF THE SERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED FOR AN AMOUNT LESS THANTHE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS INTEREST ACCRUED TO THEREDEMPTION DATE, SUCH PARTIAL PAYMENT IS DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE AREDEMPTION IN FULL OF THE SERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES, AND UPON SUCH A PARTIALPAYMENT NO OWNER OF SUCH SERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHERCLAIM FOR PAYMENT AGAINST THE TRUST, THE TRUSTEE OR THE COUNTY.

Notice of Redemption

Whenever Series 2009 Certificates are to be redeemed, the Trustee is required to, not less thanthirty (30) and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date (except for ExtraordinaryMandatory Redemptions which notice is to be immediate), mail notice of redemption to all Owners of theSeries 2009 Certificates to be redeemed at their addresses, by first class mail, postage prepaid. All Series2009 Certificates called for redemption cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, providedthat sufficient funds for redemption are on deposit with the Trustee.

So long as a book entry system is used for determining beneficial ownership of the Series 2009Certificates, the Trustee, as registrar, is to send such notice to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) orto Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC was organized to hold securities of its participants. Anyfailure of DTC to advise any participant, or of any participant or indirect participant to notify thebeneficial owner, of any such notice and its content or effect does not affect the validity of the redemptionof the Series 2009 Certificates called for redemption or any other action premised on that notice. In theevent of a call for special optional redemption, the County’s notification to DTC initiates DTC’s standardcall; and if a partial call, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of eachparticipant in the Series 2009 Certificates to be redeemed, and each such participant then selects by lot theownership interest in such Series 2009 Certificates to be redeemed. When DTC and participants allocatethe call, the beneficial owners of the book entry interests called are to be notified by the broker or otherorganization responsible for maintaining the records of those interests and subsequently credited by thatorganization with the proceeds once the Series 2009 Certificates are redeemed.

RISK FACTORS

THE PURCHASE AND OWNERSHIP OF THE SERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES ARESUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IN THE SERIES 2009CERTIFICATES SHOULD READ THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, GIVINGPARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE FACTORS DESCRIBED BELOW WHICH, AMONGOTHERS, COULD AFFECT THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THESERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES AND COULD ALSO AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF THESERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES TO AN EXTENT THAT CANNOT BE DETERMINED.

Right of the County Not to Renew and to Terminate the 2009 Lease Annually. The obligationof the County to make payments under the 2009 Lease does not constitute an obligation of the County tolevy taxes or apply its general resources beyond the current Fiscal Year. Except to the extent payablefrom the Net Proceeds of certain insurance policies and condemnation awards, from the Net Proceeds of asale or lease of the Leased Property or from other amounts made available under the 2009 Indenture, theSeries 2009 Certificates and the interest thereon are payable solely from the Revenues, consistingprimarily of the Base Rentals and the Purchase Option Price derived from the 2009 Lease, if paid.

The requirement that the County pay Base Rentals and Additional Rentals under the 2009 Leaseconstitutes a currently budgeted expenditure of the County, payable only if funds are appropriated by theBoard in each year. There is no assurance that the County will renew the 2009 Lease from Fiscal Year toFiscal Year and therefore not terminate the 2009 Lease. In the event that the County does not renew the2009 Lease, the sole security available to the Trust shall be the Leased Property.

The likelihood that the 2009 Lease will continue in effect until the Series 2009 Certificates arepaid is dependent upon factors which are beyond the control of the owners of the Series 2009 Certificates.These factors include but are not limited to, (a) the continuing need of the County for facilities such as theLeased Property and (b) the continued ability of the County to generate sufficient funds from propertytaxes and other sources to pay obligations associated with the 2009 Lease and other obligations of theCounty. See “USE OF PROCEEDS - The Leased Property.” Payment of the principal of and interest onthe Series 2009 Certificates upon the occurrence of an Event of Lease Default or an Event ofNonappropriation will be dependent upon (1) the net proceeds realized from the sale of the LeasedProperty if sold by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust or (2) rental income generated by the LeasedProperty if it is rented to a third party.

Results of Termination of the 2009 Lease. In the event that the County does not budget andappropriate, with respect to the 2009 Lease, on or before the last day of each Fiscal Year, moniessufficient to pay all Base Rentals and the reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due for theensuing Fiscal Year, an “Event of Nonappropriation” is deemed to have occurred. See “APPENDIX B -SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS - The 2009 Lease - Base Rentalsand Additional Rentals - Nonappropriation” for a discussion of the results of an Event ofNonappropriation, and the ability of the Trustee to waive, under certain circumstances, the effects of theoccurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation without notice to or the consent of the owners of the Series2009 Certificates.

If the 2009 Lease is terminated because an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of LeaseDefault has occurred, the County is required to vacate or surrender possession of the Leased Property (1)by April 1 of the Renewal Term in respect of which an Event of Nonappropriation occurs (in the case ofan Event of Nonappropriation) or (2) within 60 days after notice by the Trustee (in the case of an Event ofLease Default). The County may also terminate the 2009 Lease as a result of certain events described in“APPENDIX B - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS - The 2009Lease -Damage, Destruction and Condemnation.” Upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriationor an Event of Lease Default and, if payments under the Certificate Insurance Policy are insufficient to

Page 17: $105,000,000 Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 · James Capital Advisors Inc. has acted as financial advisor to the County in ... 2018 1,900,000.00 3.750% 3.650% CG4 2029

-11-

pay the principal and interest on the Series 2009 Certificates, the Trustee may sell or lease the LeasedProperty. The Net Proceeds derived from a sale or lease of the Leased Property, along with other moniesthen held by the Trustee under the 2009 Indenture (with certain exceptions as provided in the 2009 Leaseand the 2009 Indenture), are required to be used to redeem the Series 2009 Certificates to the extent ofsuch monies. See “THE SERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES - Redemption Provisions - ExtraordinaryMandatory Redemption.”

The Leased Property consists of real property and improvements thereon designed for and used asa detention facility. The Leased Property may not be easily converted to alternate uses, which may limitthe value of the Leased Property if it is proposed to be used for any other purpose. See “USE OFPROCEEDS - The Leased Property.” A potential purchaser of the Series 2009 Certificates should notassume that it will be possible to sell or lease the Leased Property after a termination of the Lease Term(1) for an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2009 Certificates then outstandingplus accrued interest thereon or (2) within a time period that would prevent a default in the timelypayment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2009 Certificates. If the Series 2009 Certificates areredeemed subsequent to a termination of the Lease Term for an amount less than the aggregate principalamount thereof and accrued interest thereon, no owner of any Certificate has any further claim forpayment against the Trust, the Trustee or the County.

The Leased Property is to be insured by policies of casualty and property insurance as describedin “APPENDIX B - SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS - The 2009Lease - Insurance.” In the event of damage to, the destruction of, or the discovery of a defect inconstruction of, the Leased Property, and if the Net Proceeds from such insurance policies or certain othersources are insufficient to repair or replace such Leased Property, the County may terminate itsobligations under the 2009 Lease by paying such Net Proceeds to the Trustee. If the County exercises itsoption not to renew and therefore terminate the 2009 Lease with respect to the Leased Property in such anevent, the Leased Property is required to be sold or leased by the Trustee under certain circumstances andthe proceeds of such sale or leasing are required to be applied to the redemption of the Series 2009Certificates. The net proceeds of such sale or leasing may not be sufficient to fully pay the Series 2009Certificates. See “THE SERIES 2009 CERTIFICATES - Redemption Provisions - ExtraordinaryMandatory Redemption.”

Enforceability of Remedies. A termination of the Lease Term as a result of an Event ofNonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default will give the Trustee the right to take possession of, and todispose of the Leased Property in accordance with the provisions of the 2009 Lease and the 2009Indenture. The enforceability of the 2009 Lease, the 2009 Indenture and the Series 2009 Certificates issubject to applicable bankruptcy laws, principles of equity affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rightsgenerally and liens securing such rights, the police and condemnation powers of the State and its politicalsubdivisions, including the County, and judicial discretion. In addition, the application of zoning andland use requirements and regulations or requirements of the County could adversely affect the ability ofthe Trustee to lease or dispose of the Leased Property. Because of the delays inherent in enforcing theremedies of the Trustee upon the Leased Property through the courts, a potential purchaser of the Series2009 Certificates should not anticipate that the remedies of the Trustee could be accomplished rapidly.Any delays in resolving the Trustee’s claim to possession of or title to the Leased Property may result indelays in the payment of the Series 2009 Certificates.

As a Colorado political subdivision with condemnation powers, the County may be able to assertvarious claims to possession of the Leased Property which may be superior to the Trustee’s rights topossess and sell the Leased Property under the 2009 Lease and the 2009 Indenture. The County has notwaived, and may not be able to waive, such claims.

Effects on the Series 2009 Certificates of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of LeaseDefault. Special Counsel will not render any opinion with respect to the applicability or inapplicability ofthe registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to transfers of Series 2009Certificates subsequent to a termination of the 2009 Lease by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation oran Event of Lease Default. If the 2009 Lease is terminated by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation oran Event of Lease Default, there is no assurance that the Series 2009 Certificates may be transferredwithout compliance with the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or theavailability of an exemption therefrom.

In addition, Special Counsel will render no opinion as to the treatment for federal or state incometax purposes of any amounts received by the owners of the Series 2009 Certificates subsequent to anEvent of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default. There is no assurance that amounts received bythe owners of the Series 2009 Certificates as interest subsequent to an Event of Nonappropriation or anEvent of Lease Default will be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation orexempt from State income taxes.

No Assurance of Secondary Market. There can be no assurance that an active secondary marketfor the Series 2009 Certificates will develop. Even if there is a secondary market for the Series 2009Certificates, there can be no assurance that an Owner will be able to sell its Series 2009 Certificates onterms that are favorable or acceptable to the Owner. Accordingly, each Owner should be prepared to holdand bear the investment risks of the Series 2009 Certificates to maturity.

THE LEASED PROPERTY

General Description. The Leased Property initially consists of the approximately 408,400 squarefoot Adams County Detention Facility (the “Detention Facility”) located at 150 N. 19th Avenue inBrighton, Colorado, the approximately 21 acres of land upon which the Detention Facility is located andthe approximately 3 acres of land adjacent to the Detention Facility currently used for vehicular parking(together, the “Parcel”). The County is required by statute to operate a detention facility (ColoradoRevised Statutes § 30-11-104). The Detention Facility is the sole facility that satisfies the County’sstatutory requirement.

The Detention Facility was opened in 1985. The original Detention Facility consisted of 5modules with 6 pods in each module. Each module is self contained and has its own recreation yard,heating and cooling systems. The Detention Facility was originally designed to house 480 inmates invarying security levels, up to and including maximum security. In 2000, the County constructed anexpansion which utilizes double bunking resulting in the addition of 768 direct supervision beds. Therated capacity of the Detention Facility is now in excess of 1,700 beds. The average daily population ofthe Detention Facility during 2007 was 1,300 and from January 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008 wasapproximately 1,284.

The Detention Facility has a fully self-contained kitchen and medical units capable of providingthose services to the inmate population. The Detention Facility also includes offices for Countyemployees who manage and perform services related to the Detention Facility.

In August 2007, Gallagher Basset Services, Inc. prepared a replacement cost appraisal of theLeased Property. Based upon the appraisal, the estimated value of the Detention Facility as of August2007 was approximately $89,971,829. Pursuant to the County Assessor’s records, the estimated value ofthe Parcel as of late 2007 was approximately $2,595,966 based on valuation averages for land in that areaof the County. The total estimated value of the Leased Property as of late 2007 was $92,567,795.Unimproved portions of the Parcel may be released under the 2009 Lease and conveyed by the Trustee, onbehalf of the Trust, to the County as described in “APPENDIX B - SUMMARY OF CERTAINPROVISIONS OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS - The 2009 Lease - Release of Portion of Site.” TheDetention Facility’s on-site operations include general office functions and the housing of detentioninmates.

The County contemplates constructing within the next six to seven years a substantial addition tothe Detention Facility on the Leased Property. The costs of the detention facility addition may be fundedby (i) the issuance of additional certificates of participation pursuant to an amendment to the 2009Indenture, (ii) other financing sources, (iii) County funds, or (iv) a combination of these sources. If the2009 Lease is amended and such additional certificates are delivered, it is expected that they would rankon a parity lien basis with all then Outstanding Certificates. In such event, title to the addition would beheld by the Trust, the 2009 Lease would be amended in order to cause the addition to be a part of theLeased Property and to establish a new schedule of Base Rentals and the addition would be leased to theCounty as part of the Leased Property. If construction of the addition to the Detention Facility and theresulting amendment to the 2009 Lease do not have a materially adverse affect on the Owners of theSeries 2009 Certificates, then the County will not be required to obtain the consent of such Owners to theamendment. Actual construction of the addition will depend on a number of factors, including theCounty’s need for additional detention facility capacity and the terms and availability of financing for anyproposed addition.

Set forth below is an aerial view of the Detention Facility marked to show the boundaries of thetwo parcels which comprise the Leased Property.

Environmental Assessment. In November 2007, the County engaged AEI Consultants (“AEI”)to perform a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment for the Parcel (the “Phase I Report”). AEI issued itsPhase I Report on November 12, 2007. As set forth in AEI’s Phase I Report, prior to the construction ofthe Detention Facility, the Parcel upon which it is located was agricultural land with an associatedresidence located on the Parcel. The Phase I Report states that no on-site recognized environmentalconditions were identified during the course of the investigation nor were any historical recognizedenvironmental conditions identified during the course of the investigation. AEI does not recommend anyfurther investigations of the Parcel due to the fact that the assessment revealed no evidence of recognizedenvironmental conditions in connection with the Parcel.

The information and conclusions above have been derived from the Phase I Report. Thisdiscussion does not describe all items addressed in the Phase I Report, but rather summarizes theconclusions and recommendations contained therein. A copy of the Phase I Report is on file with theCounty and is available for review.

THE PROJECT

The County intends to apply the proceeds from the sale of the Leased Property to the Trust to payor reimburse it for the costs to design, construct and equip the first phase of the County’s new governmentcenter project (the “Project”). The Project will be built to consolidate certain of the County’sadministrative functions on one centralized campus with a consistent thematic design throughout and willbe strategically located near the junction of E-470, I-76, 120th Avenue and Sable Boulevard. The campuswill be designed to be walkable, open and easy to navigate. The first phase of the Project is expected toconsist of a five-story building with approximately 300,000 square feet. The Project is not part of theLeased Property and does not constitute security for the Series 2009 Certificates.

RATINGS

Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, a division ofThe McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”), have assigned ratings of “Aa3” and “AA,” respectively, tothe Series 2009 Certificates.

Each rating reflects only the views of the particular rating agency. An explanation of thesignificance of each rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There is no assurance that any ofthe ratings will continue for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be revised downward orwithdrawn entirely by any such rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any suchdownward revision or withdrawal of any such rating may have an adverse effect on the market price ofthe Series 2009 Certificates.

LITIGATION

There is no litigation now pending or, to the knowledge of the County officials responsible for theexecution and performance of the 2009 Lease, threatened which questions the validity of the 2009 Leaseor of any proceedings of the County taken with respect to the execution, delivery and performance thereofor which could have a material adverse effect on the County’s financial condition.

TAX MATTERS

In the opinion of Special Counsel, assuming continuous compliance with certain covenantsdescribed below, the portion of the Base Rentals which is paid by the County and designated in the 2009Lease as interest and paid by the Trustee as interest on the Series 2009 Certificates is excluded from grossincome under federal income tax laws pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, asamended (the “Code”), is excluded from alternative minimum taxable income as defined in Section55(b)(2) of the Code except that such interest is required to be included in calculating the “adjustedcurrent earnings” adjustment applicable to corporations for purposes of computing the alternativeminimum taxable income of corporations, and is excluded from Colorado taxable income and Coloradoalternative minimum taxable income under Colorado income tax laws in effect on the date of delivery ofthe Series 2009 Certificates. For purposes of this paragraph and the succeeding discussion, “interest”includes the original issue discount on certain of the Series 2009 Certificates only to the extent suchoriginal issue discount is accrued as described herein.

Special Counsel is further of the opinion that the difference between the principal amount of theCertificates maturing on December 1, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029 (the"Discount Certificates") and the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, orsimilar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers) at which price asubstantial amount of such Discount Certificates of the same maturity was sold constitutes original issuediscount which is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes to the same extent asinterest on the Certificates. Further, such original issue discount accrues actuarially on a constant interestrate basis over the term of each Discount Bond and the basis of each Discount Bond acquired at such

Page 23: $105,000,000 Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 · James Capital Advisors Inc. has acted as financial advisor to the County in ... 2018 1,900,000.00 3.750% 3.650% CG4 2029

-17-

initial offering price by an initial purchaser thereof will be increased by the amount of such accruedoriginal issue discount. The accrual of original issue discount may be taken into account as an increase inthe amount of tax-exempt income for purposes of determining various other tax consequences of owningthe Certificates, even though there will not be a corresponding cash payment. Owners of the DiscountCertificates are advised that they should consult with their own advisors with respect to the state and localtax consequences of owning such Discount Certificates.

Special Counsel is also of the opinion that the difference between the principal amount of theCertificates maturing on December 1, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019and 2020 (collectively, the "Premium Certificates") and the initial offering price to the public (excludingbond houses, brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters orwholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Premium Certificates of the same maturity wassold constitutes to an initial purchaser amortizable bond premium which is not deductible from grossincome for Federal income tax purposes. The amount of amortizable bond premium for a taxable year isdetermined actuarially using constant yield principals, based on the purchasers yield to maturity or, in thecase of Premium Certificates callable prior to their maturity, by amortizing the premium to the call date,based on the purchasers yield to the call date and giving effect to the call premium. For purposes ofdetermining gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of a Premium Bond, an initial purchaser whoacquires such obligation in the initial offering to the public at the initial offering price is required todecrease such purchaser's adjusted basis in such Premium Bond annually by the amount of amortizablebond premium for the taxable year. The amortization of bond premium may be taken into account as areduction in the amount of tax-exempt income for purposes of determining various other taxconsequences of owning the Certificates. Owners of the Premium Certificates are advised that theyshould consult with their own advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owningsuch Premium Certificates.

The opinion of Special Counsel does not cover the treatment for federal or Colorado income taxpurposes of any moneys received in payment of or in respect to the Series 2009 Certificates subsequent tothe occurrence of an Event of Lease Default, an Event of Indenture Default or an Event ofNonappropriation.

The Code and Colorado law impose several requirements which must be met with respect to theSeries 2009 Certificates in order for the interest thereon to be excluded from gross income, alternativeminimum taxable income (except to the extent of the aforementioned adjustments applicable tocorporations), Colorado taxable income and Colorado alternative minimum taxable income. Certain ofthese requirements must be met on a continuous basis throughout the term of the Series 2009 Certificates.These requirements include: (a) limitations as to the use of proceeds of the Series 2009 Certificates;(b) limitations on the extent to which proceeds of the Series 2009 Certificates may be invested in higheryielding investments; and (c) a provision, subject to certain limited exceptions, that requires allinvestment earnings on the proceeds of the Series 2009 Certificates above the yield on the Series 2009Certificates to be paid to the United States Treasury. The County will covenant and represent in the 2009Lease that it will, during the Lease Term, take all steps to comply with the requirements of the Code andColorado law (in effect on the date of delivery of the Series 2009 Certificates) to the extent necessary tomaintain the exclusion of interest on the Series 2009 Certificates from gross income and alternativeminimum taxable income (except to the extent of the aforementioned adjustments applicable tocorporations) under such federal income tax laws and Colorado taxable income and Colorado alternativeminimum taxable income under such Colorado income tax laws. Special Counsel’s opinion as to theexclusion of interest on the Series 2009 Certificates from gross income, alternative minimum taxableincome (to the extent described above), Colorado taxable income and Colorado alternative minimumtaxable income is rendered in reliance on these covenants and assumes continuous compliance therewith.(The foregoing covenant does not, however, preclude the County from exercising its right to terminate the2009 Lease at the times and in the manner previously described in this Official Statement.) The failure orinability of the County to comply with these requirements could cause the interest on the Series 2009

Page 24: $105,000,000 Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 · James Capital Advisors Inc. has acted as financial advisor to the County in ... 2018 1,900,000.00 3.750% 3.650% CG4 2029

-18-

Certificates to be included in gross income, alternative minimum taxable income, Colorado taxableincome or Colorado alternative minimum taxable income, or a combination thereof, from the date ofissuance. Special Counsel’s opinion also is rendered in reliance upon certifications of the County andother certifications furnished to Special Counsel. Special Counsel has not undertaken to verify suchcertifications by independent investigation.

Section 55 of the Code contains a 20% alternative minimum tax on the alternative minimumtaxable income of corporations. Under the Code, 75% of the excess of a corporation’s “adjusted currentearnings” over the corporation’s alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to thisadjustment and the alternative minimum tax net operating loss deduction) is included in the corporation’salternative minimum taxable income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax applicable to thecorporation. “Adjusted current earnings” includes interest on the Series 2009 Certificates.

The Code contains numerous provisions not discussed in this Official Statement that may affectan investor’s decision to purchase the Series 2009 Certificates. For example, adverse federal or state taxconsequences may be associated with ownership of the Series 2009 Certificates by particular persons orentities including, but not limited to, financial institutions, insurance companies, recipients of SocialSecurity or Railroad Retirement benefits, taxpayers deemed to have incurred or continued indebtedness topurchase or carry the Series 2009 Certificates, foreign corporations doing business in the United Statesand certain “subchapter S” corporations. In addition, certain of the Series 2009 Certificates were sold at apremium, representing a difference between the original offering price of those Series 2009 Certificatesand the principal amount thereof payable at maturity. Under certain circumstances, an initial owner ofsuch Series 2009 Certificates may realize a taxable gain upon their disposition, even though such Series2009 Certificates are sold or redeemed for an amount equal to the owner’s acquisition cost. SpecialCounsel’s opinion relates only to the exclusion of interest (and, to the extent described above for theDiscount Series 2009 Certificates, original issue discount) on the Series 2009 Certificates from grossincome, alternative minimum taxable income, Colorado taxable income and Colorado alternativeminimum taxable income as described above and will state that no opinion is expressed regarding otherfederal or Colorado tax consequences arising from the receipt or accrual of interest on or ownership of theSeries 2009 Certificates. Owners of the Series 2009 Certificates should consult their own tax advisors asto the applicability of these consequences.

The opinions expressed by Special Counsel are based upon existing law as of the delivery date ofthe Series 2009 Certificates. No opinion is expressed as of any subsequent date nor is any opinionexpressed with respect to any pending or proposed legislation. Amendments to federal and Colorado taxlaws may be pending now or could be proposed in the future which, if enacted into law, could adverselyaffect the value of the Series 2009 Certificates, the exclusion of interest (and, to the extent describedabove for the Discount Series 2009 Certificates, original issue discount) on the Series 2009 Certificatesfrom gross income, alternative minimum taxable income, Colorado taxable income, Colorado alternativeminimum taxable income or any combination thereof from the date of issuance of the Series 2009Certificates or any other date, or which could result in other adverse federal or Colorado taxconsequences. Owners of the Series 2009 Certificates are advised to consult with their own tax advisorswith respect to such matters.

The Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) has an ongoing program of auditing tax-exemptobligations to determine whether, in the view of the Service, interest on such tax-exempt obligations isincludable in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. No assurances canbe given as to whether or not the Service will commence an audit of the Series 2009 Certificates. If anaudit is commenced, the market value of the Series 2009 Certificates may be adversely affected. Undercurrent audit procedures, the Service will treat the County as the taxpayer and the Owners may have noright to participate in such procedures. The County has covenanted in the 2009 Lease not to take anyaction that would cause the interest on the Series 2009 Certificates to lose its exclusion from gross incomefor federal income tax purposes or lose its exclusion from alternative minimum taxable income except to

Page 25: $105,000,000 Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 · James Capital Advisors Inc. has acted as financial advisor to the County in ... 2018 1,900,000.00 3.750% 3.650% CG4 2029

-19-

the extent described above for the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. None of the County,the Underwriter or Special Counsel is responsible for paying or reimbursing any Owner for any audit orlitigation costs relating to the Series 2009 Certificates.

CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING

In order to facilitate compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 (the“Rule”), in connection with its execution and delivery of the 2009 Lease, the County will enter into anundertaking (the “Continuing Disclosure Undertaking”) to provide certain information, including auditedfinancial results, on an annual basis, and to provide notice of certain specified events contemplated by theRule, to the information repositories designated in the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking.

APPENDIX APROPOSED FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL COUNSEL

(Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP)

Re: $105,000,000 Certificates of Participation, Series 2009 Evidencing an Interest in the BaseRentals and other Revenues under an Annually Renewable Lease Purchase Agreementdated January 1, 2009, between the Adams County Detention Facility Leasing Trust 2009,as lessor, and Adams County, Colorado, as lessee.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as Special Counsel to Adams County, Colorado (the “County”) in connection with theexecution and delivery by the County of the captioned annually renewable Lease Purchase Agreementdated January 1, 2009 (the “Lease”), between the Adams County Detention Facility Leasing Trust 2009(the “Trust”), as lessor, and the County, as lessee, and the execution and delivery by the Trust of thecaptioned Certificates of Participation (the “2009 Certificates”).

The 2009 Certificates are executed and delivered pursuant to a Declaration and Indenture of Trust datedJanuary 1, 2009 the “Indenture”), between the Trust and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the“Trustee”). The 2009 Certificates are executed and delivered by the Trustee in registered form and areinitially registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company. The 2009Certificates mature, bear interest, are subject to redemption and are payable as provided in the Indenture.

Capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings as in the Indenture and the Lease.

The Adams County Detention Facility Leasing Trust 2009 is created primarily for the purpose ofaccepting title to, and leasing, the Facility to the County pursuant to the Lease, all for the benefit of theOwners of the 2009 Certificates. The 2009 Certificates evidence an interest in the Base Rentals and otherRevenues under the Lease.

The 2009 Certificates are payable solely from the sources described in the Indenture, including the BaseRentals to be paid by the County to the Trust under the Lease. Neither the Lease nor the 2009 Certificatesconstitutes a mandatory payment obligation of the County beyond the current fiscal year, nor beyond afiscal year for which the County has specifically appropriated amounts to make payments under theLease, nor directly or indirectly obligate the County beyond such fiscal year, nor constitute or give rise toa general obligation or a multiple fiscal year direct or indirect indebtedness or other financial obligationwhatsoever of the County within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision. Neither theLease nor the 2009 Certificates constitutes a general obligation or indebtedness of the County.

Under the Lease, the County has been granted an option to purchase the Leased Property and to terminateits obligations under the Lease upon payment of the Purchase Option Price (as defined in the Lease). Inaddition, the County has been granted the option otherwise not to renew, and thereby terminate itsobligations under, the Lease, for any reason, without payment of the Purchase Option Price, upon theoccurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Lease Default as described in the Lease.

An officer of the County responsible for the execution and delivery by the County of the Lease hasexecuted a certificate (the “Tax Certificate”) stating the reasonable expectations of the County on the dateof execution and delivery as to future events that are material for purposes of the Internal Revenue Codeof 1986, as amended, and all regulations and rulings thereunder (the “Code”).

In our capacity as Special Counsel, we have examined the constitution and the laws of the State ofColorado, a certified copy of the record of proceedings of the Board of County Commissioners of theCounty taken preliminary to the execution and delivery of the Lease and certain other documents andclosing certificates executed and delivered by the County and the Trustee as of the date of delivery of theLease, and such other documents as we deemed necessary in order to render this opinion.

Based upon the foregoing examination, it is our opinion as Special Counsel that:

1. The Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the County, and,assuming its due execution by the Trustee for the Trust, constitutes the valid andlegally binding obligation of the County, enforceable against the County inaccordance with its terms except to the extent limited by applicable bankruptcy,reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement ofcreditors’ rights generally and equitable principles which may limit the availabilityof equitable remedies.

2. Assuming due execution of the Indenture and the 2009 Certificates by the Trustee,the 2009 Certificates evidence a valid and binding interest in rights to receive BaseRentals designated as Principal Portions and Interest Portions under the Lease andcertain other Revenues, which rights are enforceable against the County inaccordance with the terms of the Lease except to the extent limited by applicablebankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting theenforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles which may limitthe availability of equitable remedies.

3. No registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the SecuritiesAct of 1933 need be made in connection with the offering of the 2009 Certificatesand it is not necessary in connection with the execution and delivery of the 2009Certificates that the Indenture be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Based upon the foregoing examination and our review of the Code, the regulations and rulingsthereunder, and of the Tax Certificate, and assuming compliance by the County with the covenants andrepresentations contained in the Lease and the Tax Certificate, it is also our opinion that:

1. The Interest Portion of Base Rentals under the Lease paid by the County andreceived by the Owners of the 2009 Certificates, is excludable from gross incomefor federal income tax purposes under the laws and regulations of the United Statesof America as presently enacted and construed and is not an item of tax preferencefor purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax, although such Interest Portionheld by certain corporations (other than certain S corporations, regulated investmentcompanies, real estate investment trusts and real estate mortgage investmentconduits) may be indirectly subject to a federal alternative minimum tax because ofits inclusion in the reported income or current earnings of such corporations, andsuch Interest Portion held by foreign corporations may be subject to the branchprofits tax imposed by the Code; except that we express no opinion herein withrespect to the effect of non-renewal or termination of the Lease upon the federalincome tax treatment of any moneys received under the Lease subsequent to suchnon-renewal or termination.

2. The Interest Portion of Base Rentals under the Lease paid by the County andreceived by the Owners of the 2009 Certificates, is exempt from Colorado incometaxes under the laws of the State of Colorado as presently enacted and construed;except that we express no opinion herein with respect to the effect of non-renewalor termination of the Lease upon the Colorado income tax treatment of any moneysreceived under the Lease subsequent to such nonrenewal or termination.

3. Section 13.2 of the Lease provides that the Leased Property (as defined therein)may be subleased, in whole or in part, only to an agency or department of, or apolitical subdivision of, the County or the State, or to another entity or entities withApproval of Special Counsel. “Approval of Special Counsel” as defined in theLease means an opinion of Special Counsel to the effect that the matter proposedwill not adversely affect the excludability from gross income for federal income tax

purposes of the Interest Portion of the Base Rentals paid by the County under theLease.

Ownership of the 2009 Certificates may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certaintaxpayers, including, without limitation, financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies,S corporations with “excess passive income,” individual recipients of Social Security or RailroadRetirement benefits, individuals who may be entitled to the earned income credit, foreign corporationsengaged in a trade or business in the United States and taxpayers who maybe deemed to have incurred orcontinued debt to purchase or carry such obligations. We express no opinion herein with respect to suchconsequences.

We express no opinion herein with respect to real estate matters or with respect to the accuracy orcompleteness of any documents prepared or used or statements made in connection with the offering andsale of the 2009 Certificates.

In giving the foregoing opinions with respect to the treatment of the Interest Portion of Base Rentalsunder the Lease paid by the County under federal tax laws, we have assumed and relied upon compliancewith the County’s covenants and the accuracy of the County’s representations and certifications containedin the transcript of proceedings by the County relating to the execution and delivery of the Lease. Theaccuracy of those representations and certifications, which we have not independently verified, and theCounty’s compliance with those covenants may be necessary for the interest on the 2009 Certificates tobe and to remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and for certain of theother tax effects stated above. Failure to comply with certain of those requirements subsequent toexecution and delivery of the 2009 Certificates could cause interest on the 2009 Certificates to beincluded in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of execution anddelivery of the 2009 Certificates.

The opinions expressed herein are based on existing law as of the date hereof, and we express no opinionherein as of any subsequent date or with respect to any pending legislation or as to any other matters.

Employees, Benefits and Labor Relations

The County currently has approximately 1,800 full and part time employees. Total compensationfor full-time employees includes a benefits package of vacation pay, which accrues monthly based onyears of service; sick leave, which accrues on a monthly basis; and health, dental, vision, short and long-term disability and life insurance. The County does not recognize or collectively bargain with anyemployee unions or associations.

The County’s employees are covered under the Adams County Retirement Plan, a multi-employer plan that also includes employees from the Rangeview Library District. The plan is a definedbenefit plan. Covered employees include; an elected or appointed County official or deputy, or staff ofsuch person, an employee of the Employer which is in a position budgeted for at least 30 hours eachweek, or an employee of the Retirement Board who meets these requirements. The County, RangeviewLibrary District and each of their employees currently contribute 7.25% of the employees’ salary to theplan. This contribution percentage is expected to increase by 0.25% every year until 2011 when the ratewill be 8%. Employees vest after five years of service.

Employees mayreceive up to 200% of their contribution accumulation plus interest. In 2007, the County’s contributionto the plan was $5,595,388 on a covered payroll of $79,934,114.

Insurance Coverage

The Board acts to protect the County against loss and liability by maintaining certain insurancecoverages. Pursuant to the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act (the “Immunity Act”), a politicalsubdivision of the State, such as the County, is liable for its acts and those of its agents only to the extentand subject to the conditions provided therein.

Briefly, the Immunity Act provides that the County is immune from tort liabilityconcerning the actions of its officers and employees in the normal course of business, except forspecified actions for damages for injuries resulting from: the operation of a motor vehicle; a dangerouscondition of any public building owned or operated by the County; a dangerous condition whichinterferes with the movement of traffic on any public highway, road, street, or sidewalk; for which theCounty is responsible.

The Immunity Act provides a statutory limitation on judgments of $150,000 for any injury to oneperson in any single occurrence, or $600,000 for an injury to two or more persons in any singleoccurrence. The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of these limits ongovernmental liability. For injuries occurring prior to July 1, 1986, sovereign immunity limits aredeemed to be waived to the extent that the County’s insurance covers such injury. With regard to injuriesoccurring on or after such date, the County may, by resolution, increase any maximum amount that maybe recovered from the County for the type of injury described in the resolution. However, the County hasnot adopted a resolution to increase such maximum amounts at this time. The County may not be heldliable, either directly or indirectly or by indemnification, for punitive or exemplary damages.

The insurance activities of the County are accounted for in an Internal Service Fund. Theinsurance programs consist of, a dental plan, a PPO and HMO health plan, unemployment claims plan,workers’ compensation plan and the property and general liability programs. These plans are all self-funded with excess insurance coverage.

The County’s liability for unemployment benefits is determined by the State of ColoradoDepartment of Labor and Employment. All claims for benefits are paid on a reimbursement basis.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COUNTY

Constitutional Revenue and Spending Limitations

On November 3, 1992, the voters of the State approved an amendment to the State Constitutionknown as the “Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights” (“TABOR”), which limits the powers of public entities toborrow, tax and spend. TABOR requires voter approval prior to the creation by the County of anymultiple fiscal year debt or other financial obligation, subject to certain exceptions including refinancingat a lower interest rate.

TABOR limits the total amount of property taxes that may be levied, collected and retained bythe County for all purposes to the total amount of such property taxes collected in the preceding year,adjusted for inflation and local growth, unless a “revenue change” is approved by the voters. TABORalso requires voter approval in advance for any property tax mill levy above that of the prior year. Thevoter approval also permits the County to increase its property tax revenue up to the amount of any debtservice funded by such revenue. Revenues other than property tax revenues are limited only as a functionof the spending limitation described below.

TABOR also limits the total amount of expenditures and reserve increases (excluding changes indebt service payments) that may be made by the County for all purposes to the total amount thereof madein the preceding year, adjusted for inflation and local growth, unless the voters approve a “revenuechange.” Under TABOR, the creation of bonded debt increases and retiring or refinancing bonded debtlowers fiscal year spending. If revenues collected by the County in excess of the spending limit arerequired to be refunded, the revenues must be refunded during the next calendar year. TABOR contains aprovision that voters may approve an entity to retain excess revenues.

In November 2002, the County voters approved a ballot issue that exempted the County from therevenue and spending limitations of TABOR beginning in fiscal year 2003.

Anticipated Source of Lease Payments

Base Rentals under the 2009 Lease are payable from annual appropriations by the County. TheCounty receives revenues from a wide range of taxes and fees, including a 0.5% sales tax, an extension ofwhich was approved by voters in 2006 in order to fund certain specified facilities, including the Project,which is being funded from proceeds from the sale of the Leased Property. In particular, in anelection held on November 7, 2006, voters approved an extension of the County’s 0.5% sales tax fromJanuary 1, 2009 through December 31, 2028.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Five-Year Period Comparison. From 2003 through 2007, the County experienced a significantincrease in economic development due to the strong national and regional economies particularly in theareas of commercial and residential building. This resulted in a $26,773,104, or 39.0%, increase in theCounty’s General Fund balance and a $33,436,907, or 31.6%, increase in revenues. Consequently,County revenues and other financing sources have exceeded County expenditures and other financinguses by an average of $8.3 million per year during the past five years despite funding several significantcapital projects. On an operating basis, expenditure increases have been supported by a correspondingincrease in revenues. A portion of the General Fund balance has been used to fund one-time projects.During 2008, the County anticipates spending a portion of the General Fund balance on one-time capitalprojects, though the fund balance may increase rather than decrease depending on whether or notbudgeted projects are completed by year end.

Property taxes are the County’s primary source of revenue. Approximately two-thirds of totalGeneral Fund revenues are derived from this revenue source. During the past five years, property taxcollections have increased by $26,382,318, or 38.6%, which represents an average increase of 7.7% peryear. The assessed mill levy tax rate has remained unchanged during this period, except for slightadjustments to recover previous year abatements, which are allowed by law. The County has continued tosee growth in our assessed value over time and is expecting a 7.9% increase in property taxes in 2008.Based on the preliminary certification of values, the County is anticipating a 2.1% increase in propertytaxes in 2009 compared to 2008. Significant recent commercial developments in the County include theFitzsimons redevelopment project, Prairie Center in Brighton, Larkridge in Thornton and The OrchardTown Center in Westminster. (See “The Local Economy – Recent Development Activities” in AppendixC for a description of these developments.)

Notwithstanding the recent development activity described above, slower growth is expected inthe near term due to the recent softening of the economy. Though the County expects propertydevelopment to continue over time, increasing the overall assessed value, there are risks that could causeassessed values to decline in future years. Assessed values upon which property taxes are derived adjustevery two years and should market prices decline significantly, General Fund revenues could benegatively impacted.

During the past five years, licenses and permits have remained relatively flat and increases ordecreases primarily reflect changes in building permit activity. However, in 2008, it is expected that thisparticular revenue will decrease around 49% compared to 2007’s actual as real estate related activity iscurrently operating in a challenging market. Licenses and permits make up less than 1% of the County’soverall General Fund revenue.

Intergovernmental revenues have remained relatively flat increasing only $169,346 or 2.5% overthe past five years. This reflects activity in state funding primarily for local community correctionsprograms and increases in federal and state criminal justice grants for public safety. There was asignificant increase in this revenue category in 2004, which was the result of homeland security grantfunding and a large increase in community corrections funding. This increase was partially offset insubsequent years as several intergovernmental revenues were reclassified as charges for services.

Revenues from service charges have fluctuated over the past several years primarily due to otherfines and forfeitures, real estate and recording fees and noise violation payments from the City andCounty of Denver. Real estate and recording fees have declined by over $2.2 million as the refinancingboom earlier in the decade helped fuel increased fees as lower interest rates incentivized refinancing andhome buying. The declining trend is continuing as real estate and recording fees as of October 31, 2008were lower than during the same period of 2007. Lower real estate and recording fees have generally hadan inverse relationship with investment earnings over time; however as of October 31, 2008, both

revenues declined on a year to date basis. One major anomaly in this revenue category over the last fiveyears relates to a judgment payment in the amount of $5,872,969, which was received in 2003 from theCity and County of Denver, Colorado. Another payment of $2,406,872 was received in 2007. TheCounty received these revenues as a result of a lawsuit involving noise generated by airplane operations atDenver International Airport. Pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement, a large portion of thejudgment was distributed to certain cities within the County. The County received $1,191,392 of revenuefor noise violations in 2008.

From 2003 through 2007, the interest on investments revenue category has increased significantlyas a result of several factors. The primary reason is that interest rates paid on deposits and otherinvestments have been earning a higher rate of return as the market has responded to actions taken by theFederal Reserve. Also, the amount of funds held in investments has increased as the County has addedfund balances over the years. Overall, interest on investments increased over 372% since 2003. However,during the first 10 months of 2008, interest on investments is experiencing a significant decline as ratesearned have fallen as the Federal Reserve has worked to address economic difficulties. Future revenuefrom these sources will depend on market interest rates and the amount of fund balances the Countymaintains.

As of the date hereof, the County has approximately $29 million invested in the Colorado SurplusAsset Fund Trust (CSAFE). CSAFE is a local government investment pool established in 1988 thatprovides pooling of Colorado’s local government funds as an efficient method of investing. CSAFEinvests in U.S. Agencies, AAA rated national money market funds, collateralized A1 rated bank deposits,and A1+ and A1 commercial paper. One of CSAFE’s investments is in The Primary Fund, a moneymarket fund that is a series of The Reserve Fund. Recent market conditions have created an illiquidmarket for certain securities in The Primary Fund as well as an unprecedented number of redemptionrequests. As a result, on September 22, 2008 the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an orderthat allows The Primary Fund to suspend redemptions until sufficient liquidity returns to the market, andon September 29, 2008 the trustees of The Primary Fund voted to liquidate the fund. OnOctober 30, 2008, the Primary Fund distributed $26 billion to shareholders, which representsapproximately 50% of its total assets as of September 15, 2008. The Primary Fund has not announced thedates or amounts of future distributions, but has stated that future distributions will be made as cashaccumulates through the maturity or sale of remaining portfolio holdings. The County may incur a losson its investment in CSAFE if The Primary Fund is not able to make aggregate distributions in an amountthat is equal to a $1 per share net asset value. The amount of any such loss is not currently ascertainable.However, the County does not believe that such loss, if any, will have a material adverse effect on theCounty’s financial condition.

During the past five years, the County’s total General Fund expenditures have increased by$3,119,674 or 2.5%. Capital projects in 2003 were much larger than in the other years. These capitalexpenditures related to the construction and financing of a new District Attorney Office Building and thepurchase of the Western Service Center Building. When capital outlays are excluded, the County’sGeneral Fund expenditures over the past five years have increased by a total of $26,906,818 representinga 27.8% increase. Expenditures are expected to increase in 2008 as the County has embarked on severallarge capital projects, addressed inflation and expanded some programs. Specific projects for 2008include over $4 million for the remodeling of the Waymire Dome building at the regional park, $4 millionfor land for a future shooting range and public safety training center, $1.7 million for land for a futureJuvenile Detention facility to be constructed by the State of Colorado and several million dollars worth ofdrainage projects.

Personnel cost remains one of the County’s most significant annual expenditures. Personnelexpenditures in the General Fund have increased by $18,749,975 or 35.0%. From 2003 through 2007, thenumber of full-time County employees (“FTEs”) increased by 137.25 positions from 1,632.25 to 1,769.50employees. Of the total number of FTEs, approximately 60% are funded out of the General Fund. The

C-12

2008 budget assumed 1,798.5 positions, but as of the date hereof an additional 8.5 positions have beenadded to address growth in public safety services. This overall increase in personnel has been due, inlarge part, to the need to accommodate the substantial growth and increase in population experienced inthe County during this time. For example, 72.25 new positions have been added to the Sheriff’s Officeduring the past six years, 33 of which have been related to an increasing inmate population in the AdamsCounty Detention Facility. There also has been an increase of 32.50 FTEs in the District Attorney’sOffice and 13.25 FTEs in the Clerk and Recorder’s Office. Additionally, the cost of employee medicalinsurance premiums has escalated by $2,501,450, or 48.4%, during the past five years, with anapproximate increase of 136.6% in the employee-paid share of said premiums. There has also been aslight increase in premium rates in 2008.

The County’s general government expenditures have increased by $8,901,116, or 20.8%, duringthe past five years, with an average increase of 4.2% per year. This has been primarily due to an increasein personnel and other costs of providing a wide-range of governmental services. The departments andelected offices with the most growth in general government expenses include the District Attorney’sOffice, the Clerk and Recorder’s Office and the County Attorney’s Office, these trends are continuinginto 2008. The District Attorney has the most total dollar growth and demonstrates an increase of $3.0million or 33.4% over the last five years, with 3.6% growth anticipated in 2008. Most of this growth isdue to personnel needed to handle increasing caseloads for prosecutors. The Clerk and Recorder’s Officehas seen significant growth mostly due to the hiring of additional staff to handle motor vehicle licensingtraffic and increased elections costs as a result of the passage of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).The County has made significant investments in new voting equipment over the analysis time periodsome of which was covered by grants. The County Attorney’s office has also seen significant growth,about 58.6%, over five years due to increases in both personnel and other operating costs.

The County’s public safety expenditures have increased 38.2% or an average of 7.6% per year.This increase corresponds to the average 7.7% per year increase in property taxes, the major revenuesupporting this expenditure category activity. Public safety increases primarily result from higher costsin services provided by the Sheriff’s Office. Of the total $16,507,242, or 38.2%, increase in public safetyexpenditures, $7,395,798 has been attributed to an increase in the Field and Administration division and$6,688,931 is from the Corrections division. The increases in both of these divisions are primarily theresult of higher personnel costs; however, a significant portion of the Field and Administration’s increaseoccurred as fleet vehicle costs rose over 97% in five years and are increasing significantly in 2008 aswell. The Corrections division has also seen significant increases in operating costs primarily for inmatemedical services, which increased over 37.1%, while the average daily population at the County’sDetention Facility increased just over 14% during the past five years. Additionally, the FacilityOperations Department spent $329,627 or 21.5% more maintaining the Detention Facility. CommunityCorrections expenditures increased by $811,360 or 22.2% over the past five years. This is a state fundedprogram with corresponding intergovernmental revenues to support the expenditures. Expenditures forthe Coroner’s Office during this period have increased by $434,779 or 46.5% and the Animal Shelter andAdoption Center increased by $333,609 or 31.2%.

Other notable increases in County expenditures from 2003 through 2007 include an increase of$871,024 or 31.6%, in human services expenditures and an increase of $720,604 or 28.4%, in culture andrecreation expenditures associated with the Parks and Community Resources Department. The County’sdebt service payments, which are lease payments subject to annual appropriation, increased by $749,991or 49.6% due to additional annual lease payments for the Adams County Service Center Building. Leaseproceeds were used to construct the District Attorney’s Office Building and to purchase and remodel theWestern Service Center building. Expenditures in most other areas have increased only slightly oractually decreased over the past five years. The County’s debt service is again increasing in 2008 due to asale leaseback transaction to build the extension of the County Justice Center. The transaction closed inJune and the first lease payment is due in December. The future lease payments will be made from aspecial capital facilities sales tax that begins in 2009.

The County budgeted a spend down of General Fund fund balance in 2007. However, severalitems contributed to a substantial increase in the fund balance for last year. First, interest earnings weresignificantly more than budgeted due to higher interest being paid on unspent funds in the County.Further, the County maintained additional funds upon which more interest was earned than anticipated.The County also had budgeted to spend $9.4 million more on various multi-year capital projects that hadnot been completed. The County carried over these unspent budgets into 2008 to complete the projects asplanned. Other contributing factors to an increasing General Fund fund balance include savings inpersonnel and other operating line items that went unspent in 2007. For 2008, the County budgeted aspend down of fund balance as well primarily for various capital projects.

Budgets and Appropriations

The annual budget adoption and appropriation procedures employed by the County are strictlymandated and controlled by state law, most notably the Local Government Budget Law of Colorado, §29-1-101, et seq., C.R.S., as amended. The County’s budget is prepared on a calendar year basis, asrequired by state law, and must present a complete financial plan for the County, setting forth allestimated expenditures, revenues and other financing sources for the ensuing budget year, together withthe corresponding figures for the previous fiscal year. In estimating the anticipated revenues,consideration must be given to any unexpended surpluses and the historical percentage of tax collections.Further, the budget must show a balanced relationship between the total proposed expenditures and thetotal anticipated revenues and other financing sources. In addition, the budget must set forth asupplemental schedule showing the County’s obligations with respect to its outstanding lease purchaseagreements.

The County adheres to the following procedures in establishing its annual budgets:

1. Prior to October 15th of every year, the County Administrator submits to the Board a proposedoperating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1st. The operatingbudget includes proposed expenditures of direct County Funds only, and the means of financingthem.

2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.

3. Prior to December 31, the budget is legally adopted.

4. Department heads are authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between line items within theirauthorized spending agency; however, most revisions that alter the total expenditures of anyspending agency require an appropriation resolution. A spending agency is defined as anoffice/department or other governmental unit in the County having ultimate budgetaryresponsibility for a unit, program or fund budget. Any revisions that alter total expenditures ofany fund require supplemental appropriation, which is subject to public hearing and taxpayerresponse similar to the adoption of the original budget.

5. Budgets for all governmental fund types (including the General Fund) are adopted on amodified accrual basis. Budgets of proprietary funds, for which a legal budget is adopted, areproposed on a flow of funds basis. The County follows the policy of adopting a legal budget forall funds except trust and agency funds.

6. All appropriations lapse at year-end.

7. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments forthe expenditure of moneys are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicableappropriation, is not used as an extension of the formal budget process.

It is through the preparation of the budget and by taking into consideration all sources of revenue,costs of construction, expenses of operating the County and the debt service requirements of the County’soutstanding bonds and other obligations that the rate of mill levy is determined each year. The County isno longer subject to certain tax revenue/spending limitations under TABOR as described in“Constitutional Revenue and Spending Limitations” above. However, the County remains subject tocertain aspects of TABOR, including maintaining a 3% emergency reserve and the County must stillreceive voter approval to increase taxes or issue General Obligation debt, revenue bonds and other multi-year financing alternatives.

Set forth in the following tables are the 2007 budget for the General Fund, with a comparison to2007 actual results of operations, followed by a summary of the 2008 original budget for the GeneralFund.

The following sources of County revenue are applied to County operations and maintenance andcapital expenditures. The expenditure of certain revenue, or portions thereof, may be subject to restricteduses.

Ad Valorem Property Taxes. The Board has the power to levy and collect ad valorem taxes on oragainst all taxable property within the County. Both real and personal property are subject to taxation;however, certain classes of property are constitutionally and statutorily exempt from taxation, includingproperty of the State and its political subdivisions; public libraries; public school property; certaincharitable property not used for profit; health care facilities; religious property and nonprofit cemeteries.

Assessed valuation, which represents the value upon which ad valorem property taxes are levied,is calculated by the County Assessor as a percentage of statutory “actual” value, which is determinedfrom a “base year” level of value and from manuals and associated data published by the State PropertyTax Administrator for the applicable base year. Oil and gas leaseholds and lands, producing mines andother lands producing nonmetallic minerals are valued based on production levels rather than by the baseyear method, and public utilities are valued by the State Property Tax Administrator based on a variety offactors. The County’s assessed valuation, as determined by the County Assessor, is a combination ofspecific percentages of the actual values of the various types of real and personal property. To avoidextraordinary increases in residential real property taxes when the base year is changed, the Statelegislature is required by law to adjust the ratio of valuation for assessment of such residential propertyfor each year in which a change in the level of value occurs based on an estimated target percentage. Thisadjustment is designed to maintain the same percentage of the aggregate statewide valuation forassessment attributable to residential property, which existed in the previous year. Colorado statutesprovide opportunities for review of assessments at various stages by the State Board of Equalization, theBoard of Assessments Appeals, and the Colorado state courts. With respect to assessments of realproperty taxes, the Colorado Constitution requires that the assessed value of residential real propertycannot exceed 45% of the total assessed value of all real property within the State.

Property taxes levied in one year are collected in the next year. Thus, taxes levied in 2007 arecollected in 2008. Taxes are due January 1st in the year of collection; however, they may be paid in eitherone installment (not later than the last day of April) or in two equal installments (not later than the lastday of February and the 15th day of June) without interest or penalty. The County Treasurer collectsproperty taxes and distributes the appropriate amounts to several of the County’s funds and other taxingentities on a monthly basis. The County Treasurer charges a statutory fee for the collection of taxes,ranging from 0.25% to 1.5% depending on the type of taxing entity. The 1.5% charged for County taxcollections is charged against the appropriate funds and deposited in the County’s General Fund.

Taxes which are not paid within the prescribed time limits bear interest at the rate of 1% permonth until paid. Unpaid amounts and the accrued interest thereon become delinquent on June 16th, orMay 1st, if no first payment was made by the April deadline of the respective collection year. All taxeslevied on property, together with interest thereon and penalties for default as well as other costs ofcollection, constitute a perpetual lien on and against the property. Such lien is on a parity with the taxliens of other general taxes. Collection of delinquent real property taxes is enforceable by tax lien sale onsuch realty. Delinquent personal property taxes are enforceable by distraint, seizure and sale of thetaxpayer’s personal property. Tax lien sales of realty are generally held on or before the second Mondayin December of the collection year, preceded by a notice of delinquency to the taxpayer and a minimumof three weeks public notice of the impending public sale. Sales of personal property may be held at anytime after October 1st of the collection year following notice of delinquency and public notice of the sale.There can be no assurance, however, that the value of property sold, in the event of seizure and sale bythe County Treasurer, would be sufficient to produce the amount required with respect to taxes levied by

Major Additional Sources of County General Fund Revenues.

In addition to property taxes, which comprised 67.8% of the County’s General Fund revenue infiscal year 2007, the County also receives revenue from a variety of sources, which are applied to theGeneral Fund.

In 2007, the County’s charges for services accounted for 15.5% of total General Fund revenues(excluding transfers). Intergovernmental (i.e., state and federal grant) and interest income accounted for5.0% and 8.3%, respectively, of total General Fund revenues (excluding transfers). Licenses and permitsaccounted for 0.8% of total General Fund revenues (excluding transfers). Although the County imposes a0.75% sales tax, the proceeds of such sales taxes do not constitute a source of General Fund revenue.

Major Expenditure Categories of the General Fund

The general fund accounts for all the expenditures normally associated with basic Countyfunctions. Expenditures under the general fund are allocated to general government, public safety, humanservices, public works, economic opportunity, conservation of natural resources and certain cultural andrecreational activities and facilities.

DEBT STRUCTURE OF THE COUNTY

General

The County currently does not have any general obligation debt or other bonds outstanding or anyvoter approved borrowing authorization which has not been utilized.

State law permits the County to borrow money and issue securities, including general obligations(to which the County’s full faith and credit and taxing power is pledged) and revenue obligations payablefrom operating revenues or from sales and use tax revenues, or enter into other lease purchase or otherobligations to evidence such borrowing, for various purposes. Except for certain obligations incurred orissued by County-owned “enterprises,” the refinancing of bonded debt at a lower interest rate or theaddition of new employees to existing County pension plans, approval of the County’s registered electorsmust be obtained prior to the incurrence by the County of any multiple fiscal year direct or indirect debt,or other County financial obligation whatsoever without adequate present cash reserves pledgedirrevocably and held for payments in all future fiscal years. See “FINANCIAL INFORMATIONCONCERNING THE COUNTY – Constitutional Revenue and Spending Limitations” above. Inaddition, State law provides that no general obligation indebtedness may be created which at any timeexceeds 1.5% of the valuation for assessment of property in the County, or a current debt margin (basedon 2007 certified values) of $4,527,197,700 (taxable property only) or $4,659,254,010 which isanticipated for 2008. The County has no statutory debt outstanding.

The County anticipates internally funding any foreseeable, necessary capital improvements. TheCounty is not currently seeking voter approval to create any new multiple-fiscal year direct or indirectdebt or other financial obligation within the meaning of TABOR. It is a fiscal management policy of theCounty that long-term debt will not be used to finance current operating expenditures.

Estimated Overlapping General Obligation Debt

Certain public entities whose boundaries may be entirely within, coterminous with or onlypartially within the County are authorized to incur general obligation debt, and to the extent thatproperties within the County also are within such overlapping public entities, such properties will beliable for a proportionate share of such debt. The following table sets forth the estimated overlappinggeneral obligation debt chargeable to properties within the County as of December 31, 2007. Thepercentage of the entity’s outstanding debt chargeable to County property owners is calculated bycomparing the assessed valuation of the portion overlapping the County to the total assessed valuation ofthe overlapping entity. To the extent the County’s assessed valuation changes disproportionately with theassessed valuation of overlapping entities, the percentage of general obligation debt for which Countyproperty owners are responsible will also change.

General

(DTC’spartnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for each issue of the Securities, each in theaggregate principal amount of such issue and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregateprincipal amount of any issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to anyremaining principal amount of such issue.

DTC

DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organizedunder the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New YorkBanking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning ofthe New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisionsof Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and moneymarket instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit withDTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and othersecurities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers andpledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement ofsecurities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers,banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding companyfor DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of whichare registered clearing agencies.

with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has Standard &Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securitiesand Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com andwww.dtc.org

Book-Entry System

Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants,which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actualpurchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and IndirectParticipants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of theirpurchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details ofthe transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participantthrough which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in theSecurities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants actingon behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing theirownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities isdiscontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC areregistered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co. or such other name as may berequested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and theirregistration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficialownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s recordsreflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, whichmay or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsiblefor keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by DirectParticipants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to BeneficialOwners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatoryrequirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to takecertain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to theSecurities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents.For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding theSecurities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In thealternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and requestthat copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue arebeing redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each DirectParticipant in such issue to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect toSecurities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Underits usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date.The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants towhose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the OmnibusProxy).

E-3

Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made toCede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’spractice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailinformation from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown onDTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructionsand customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form orregistered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, orIssuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Paymentof redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee asmay be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent,disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursementof such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, throughits Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing theDirect Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to[Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with anoption tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in theSecurities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit oftendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agents DTC account.

Discontinuance of Book-Entry System

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at anytime by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that asuccessor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (ora successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered toDTC.
