Section 10 . NO PROVISION OF THIS ORDINANCE, THE LEASE,
THE INDENTURE, THE CERTIFICATES, THE AGREEMENT OR THE
OFFICIAL STATEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS CREATING OR
CONSTITUTING A GENERAL OBLIGATION OR OTHER INDEBTEDNESS OF
THE CITY OR A MANDATORY PAYMENT OBLIGATION OF THE CITY IN ANY
FISCAL YEAR BEYOND A FISCAL YEAR FOR WHICH THE CITY HAS
APPROPRIATED AMOUNTS TO MAKE PAYMENTS UNDER THE LEASE. THE
CITY SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO MAKE ANY PAYMENT WITH
RESPECT TO THE CERTIFICATES EXCEPT IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PAYMENT OF THE BASE RENTALS AND ADDITIONAL RENTALS (EACH AS
DEFINED IN THE LEASE) TO THE EXTENT AND FOR THE YEAR FOR
WHICH FUNDS HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED AND CERTAIN OTHER PAYMENTS

Section 11 . The City Council hereby determines and
declares that the Base Rentals (as set forth in the Lease)
represent the fair value of the use of the Project; and that
the Purchase Option Price (as defined in the Lease)
represents the fair purchase price of the Project. The City
Council hereby determines and declares that the Base Rentals
do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place the City
under an economic or practical compulsion to renew the Lease
or to exercise its option to purchase the Project pursuant to
the Lease. In making such determinations, the City Council
has given consideration to the Cost of Construction (as
defined in the Lease), the uses and purposes for which the
Project will be employed by the City, the benefit to the
citizens and residents of the City by reason of the
construction, acquisition, improvement and equipping of the
Project and the use of the Project pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Lease, the option of the City to purchase
the Project, and the expected eventual vesting of title to
the Project in the City. The City Council hereby determines
and declares that the construction, acquisition, improvement
and equipping of the Project and the leasing of the Project
pursuant to the Lease will result in facilities of comparable
-5-
WP217102 -002/5
quality and meeting the same requirements and standards as
would be necessary if the construction, acquisition,
improvement and equipping of the Project were performed by
the City other than pursuant to the Lease. The City Council
hereby determines and declares that the period during which
the City has an option to purchase the Project (i.e., the
maximum term of the Lease, including all Renewal Terms) does
not exceed the useful life of the Project.
Section 12 . If any section, paragraph, clause or
provision of this ordinance (other than provisions as to the
payment of Base Rentals by the City during the Lease Term and
provisions for the conveyance of the Project to the City
under the conditions provided in the Lease) shall for any
reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity
or unenforceability of such section, paragraph, clause or
provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of
this ordinance.
Section 13 . All bylaws, orders and ordinances, or parts
thereof, inconsistent with this ordinance or with any of the
documents hereby approved, are hereby repealed only to the
extent of such inconsistency. This repealer shall not be
construed as reviving any bylaw, order or ordinance, or part
thereof.

CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO
PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING
LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION
SERIES 1992
INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
This Official Statement, including its Apperilices, is
furnished in connection with the offering of
aggregate principal amount of City of Pueblo, Colorado, Public
Works Building Lease Purchase Agreement, Certificates of
Participation, Series 1992 (the "Certificates"'), evidencing
assignments of proportionate interests in rights to receive
payments pursuant to a Public Works Building Lease Purchase
Agreement dated as of July 1, 1992 (the "'Lease") between the
City of Pueblo, Colorado Municipal Building Corporation (the
"Corporation"') as lessor, and the City of Pueblo (the "City"),
Colorado (the "State"), as lessee.
The Certificates are issued pursuant to a Mortgage
and Indenture of Trust dated as of July 1, 1992 (the
"Indenture"), between The Pueblo Bank and Trust Company, in
Pueblo, Colorado, as trustee (the "'Trustee"), and the
Corporation. The proceeds from the sale of the Certificates,
other than amounts necessary to pay costs of issuance and to
establish a Reserve Fund for the Certificates, will be used by
the Corporation to provide funds for (i) paying the City of
Pueblo, Colorado Municipal Building Corporation Certificates
of Participation dated as of February 22, 1990 (the N1990
Certificates"'); and (ii) the construction, acquisition and
equipping of a public works and transportation and office
building (the "Building") located on certain real property
(the "Property") and for the acquisition of certain equipment
( the "Equipment"') ( collectively, the "'Project"'). The Project
will be leased by the Corporation to the City under the Lease.
See "USE OF PROCEEDS" and "THE PROJECT."'
* Preliminary; subject to change.
The Certificates are payable solely from annually
appropriated Base Rentals (hereinafter defined) to be paid by
the City under the Lease, from any legally available funds of
the City and certain other Revenues (hereinafter defined)
received by the Trustee pursuant to the Lease and the
Indenture. See "'APPENDIX B--SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS AND
DEFINITIONS"' and "'SECURITY FOR THE CERTIFICATES." Upon annual
appropriation, the City's obligation to pay Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals (hereinafter defined) to the extent and for
the year so appropriated will be absolute and unconditional
and may not be abated through accident or unforeseen
circumstances, nor may the City under the Lease assert any
right of setoff or counterclaim against its obligation to make
such payments. Neither the Certificates nor any payments
required under the Lease constitutes an indebtedness of the
City within the meaning of any provision or limitation of the
Constitution or statutes of the State or home rule charter
(the "'Charter') of the City. Neither the Certificates nor the
Lease will directly or indirectly obligate the City to make
any payments other than those which may be appropriated by the
City for each fiscal year of the City.
If, on or before the December 31 prior to the
beginning of any fiscal year of the City ("Fiscal Year"), the
City fails to appropriate sufficient funds for the Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals, the City will be considered to
have terminated the Lease. Upon termination of the City's
obligations under the Lease, the Trustee may proceed to
foreclose on and sell the Project or lease the Project. See
"'APPENDIX B--SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS AND DEFINITIONS - -THE LEASE- -
Nonappropriation by City."' The net proceeds of such
dispositions will be applied toward the payment of the
Certificates. The City has the option to pay the Purchase
Option Price (hereinafter defined) and to terminate the Lease
as provided in the Lease. The Trustee is required to use the
Purchase Option Price to pay the Certificates, including any
premium thereon. See "THE CERTIFICATES -- Redemption
Provisions . "'
This Official Statement includes financial and other
information about the City because such information is
believed to be relevant to a consideration by purchasers of
the Certificates of whether the City will continue to renew
the Lease on an annual basis and of the City's ability to pay
the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals under the Lease
although the City is not obligated to renew such.Lease or pay
such Base Rentals and Additional Rentals unless funds are
appropriated for such rentals by the City each year. This
Official Statement also contains descriptions of the
Certificates, the Lease, and the Indenture. The descriptions
I
-2-
of the Certificates, the Lease and the Indenture do not
purport to be definitive or comprehensive, and all references
to those documents are qualified in their entireties by
reference to those documents, copies of the forms of which are
available at the offices of the Underwriter, the Trustee and
the City. See OADDITIONAL INFORMATION.~ Terms not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease
and the Indenture. See NAPPENDIX B-- SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS AND
DEFINITIONS.~
-3-
RISK FACTORS
Each prospective investor in the Certificates is
encouraged to read this Official Statement in its entirety and
to give particular attention to the factors described below
which could affect the payment of rentals under the Lease and
could affect the market price of the Certificates to an extent
that cannot be determined at this time.
Nonappropriation
Except to the extent payable from the proceeds of the
sale of the Certificates and certain income from the
investment thereon and certain other moneys, the Certificates
are payable solely from Base Rentals to be paid by the City
under the Lease. See "SECURITY FOR THE CERTIFICATES."' The
City is not obligated to pay Base Rentals or Additional
Rentals under the Lease unless funds are appropriated for such
rentals by the City each year. An "Event of NonappropriationO
occurs if, prior to December 31 of each year, the City does
not specifically budget and appropriate amounts sufficient to
pay all Base Rentals for the next Fiscal Year and to pay such
Additional Rentals as are reasonably estimated to become due
for the ensuing Fiscal Year. If an Event of Nonappropriation
occurs, the City is deemed to have terminated its obligations
under the Lease. The Trustee may waive an Event of
Nonappropriation which is cured by the City within a
reasonable time, if in the Trustee's judgment the waiver is in
the best interest of the registered owners of the Certificates
(the "'Participants"'). See NAPPENDIX B-- SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS
AND DEFINITIONS - -THE LEASE -- Nonappropriation by City."' It is
expected that such a waiver would be made only under
extraordinary circumstances, such as a delay in the passage of
an appropriations ordinance. The Lease declares that the
present expectation and intention of the City is that the
Lease will not be terminated until title to the Project is
acquired by the City; but this declaration is not to be
construed as contractually obligating or otherwise binding the
City or the City Council. Various political and economic
factors could lead to the nonappropriation of sufficient funds
to make the required payments under the Lease, and prospective
investors should carefully consider these and other factors
which may influence the budgetary process. There is no
assurance that the City will appropriate sufficient funds to
renew the Lease each year and the City has no obligation to do
so. The City may terminate the Lease without penalty. In
addition, the ability of the City to maintain adequate
revenues for its operations and obligations in general
(including obligations associated with the Lease) is partially
dependent upon several factors outside the City's control,
-4-
such as the economy and the continuing need of the City for
the Project. See "SECURITY FOR THE CERTIFICATES,~ ~CITY
FINANCIAL OPERATIONS- -City Budget" and "ECONOMIC AND
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION."
Effect of a Termination of the Lease Term
In the event of termination of the City's obligations
under the Lease upon the occurrence of an Event of
Nonappropriation or an Event of Default (hereinafter defined),
the City is required to vacate the Project and return it to
the Trustee (a) by the expiration of the annual lease term
during which an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, in the case
of an Event of Nonappropriation, or (b) within fifteen days
after notice from the Trustee, in the case of an Event of
Default. After an occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Trustee may proceed to foreclose on and sell the Project or
lease the Project and may exercise one or any combination of
the remedies available upon default as provided in the Lease.
All property, funds and rights acquired by the Trustee upon
the termination of the Lease, along with other moneys then
held by the Trustee under the Indenture (with certain
exceptions as provided in the Lease and the Indenture), are
required to be used to redeem the Certificates, if and to the
extent any such moneys are realized. See "APPENDIX B--SUMMARY
OF DOCUMENTS AND DEFINITIONS -THE LEASE -- Events of
Default- Remedies Under The Lease" and "THE CERTIFICATES- -
Redemption Provisions."
A potential purchaser of the Certificates should not
assume that it will be possible to foreclose on and sell the
Project or to lease the Project for an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then
outstanding plus accrued interest thereon. This may be due to
the inability to recover certain of the costs incurred in
connection with the issuance of the Certificates, the
construction of the Project or due to general economic
conditions. See "THE PROJECT" and "USE OF PROCEEDS." If the
Certificates are redeemed subsequent to a termination of the
Lease Term for an amount less than the aggregate principal
amount thereof and accrued interest thereon, such partial
payment will be deemed to constitute a redemption in full of
the Certificates; and upon such a partial payment, no owner of
any Certificate will have any further claims for payment upon
the Corporation, the Trustee or the City.
Enforceability of Remedies
Under the Lease, the Trustee has the right to take
possession of and dispose of the Project upon an Event of

Nonappropriation or an Event of Default. However, the
enforceability of the Indenture and the Lease is subject to
applicable bankruptcy laws, equitable principles affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and liens securing
such rights, and the police powers of the City. In addition,
the application of zoning or other requirements of the City
could adversely affect the ability of the Trustee to
foreclose, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Project.
It should not be assumed that the remedies of the Trustee
could be accomplished rapidly. Any delays may result in
delays in the payment of the Certificates except from funds
otherwise available to the Trustee under the Indenture,
including the Reserve Fund. See ~SECURITY FOR THE
CERTIFICATES.&
Effect of Termination on Exemption From Taxation and on
Exemption From Registration
Special Counsel has specifically disclaimed any
opinion as to the effect that termination of the Lease may
have upon the treatment for federal or state income tax
purposes of amounts received by a Participant. There is no
assurance that any amounts representing interest received by
the Participants after termination of the Lease as a
consequence of a Event of Nonappropriation or Event of Default
will be exempt from gross income under federal or state laws.
Special Counsel also has disclaimed any opinion as to the
transferability of the Certificates under the federal
securities laws after a termination of the Lease, and, upon
such termination, there is no assurance that Participants
would be able to transfer their interests without registration
pursuant to federal securities laws.
Construction of the Project
Although construction of the Project will not
commence immediately the Lease will be in effect when the
Certificates are issued. It is expected that construction
will commence in February 1993, after the design and planning
for the Project are completed.
Architectural drawings and designs of the Project
have not been completed, but a statement of probable costs has
been prepared by the City. Such estimate indicates that the
proceeds of the Certificates will be sufficient to complete
the Project although certain circumstances, including
construction costs being greater than estimated, may result in
cost overruns. See *USE OF PROCEEDS.& The Lease provides
that, in the event of cost overruns, the City will (a) modify
the plans and specifications for the Project, so as to permit
MM
Y
completion of the Project from moneys available in the
Construction Fund, (b) deposit amounts in a special
construction fund as provided in the Lease, or (c) cause
Additional Certificates to be issued pursuant to the Indenture
to pay the remaining costs of completing the Project.
However, there is no assurance that the City's perceived need
for the Project will continue in the event of cost overruns.
In addition, the City is not obligated to make such additional
deposits or cause Additional Certificates to be issued, and
there can be no assurance that the City would be able to make
such additional deposits or cause Additional Certificates to
be issued for the purpose of completing the Project. The
Indenture permits the issuance of Additional Certificates for
purposes of completing the Project without notice to or
approval of the registered owners of the Certificates. See
"APPENDIX B--SUMMARY OF DOCUMENTS AND DEFINITIONS -THE
INDENTURE -- Additional Certificates."
The Lease requires that, upon completion and
acceptance of the Project and until termination of the Lease
Term, the City must provide casualty and property damage
insurance for the Project. There is no assurance that, in the
event the Lease is terminated as a result of damage to or
destruction or condemnation of the Project, moneys made
available by reason of any such occurrence will be sufficient
to redeem the Certificates at a price equal to the principal
amount thereof outstanding plus accrued interest to the
redemption date. See "THE CERTIFICATES -- Redemption
Provisions."'
Pending Constitutional Amendments
The Secretary of State of the State of Colorado has
placed an initiative on the ballot for the November 3, 1992,
general election relating to certain tax and revenue
limitations (the ^'First Initiative"). The First Initiative
provides for an amendment to the Colorado Constitution which
would require voter approval prior to: (1) imposition of a
new tax, tax rate increase, mill levy increase, valuation for
assessment ratio increase, tax extension, or other change in
policy which results in a net gain of tax revenues; or
(2) creation for more than one fiscal year of any debt or
other financial obligation, with limited exceptions.
The First Initiative also limits, with certain
adjustments, increases for local governments' property tax
revenues to the total of inflation plus the net percentage
change in actual value of all real property within the local
government due to construction of improvements and additional
taxable real property. In addition, the First Initiative
-7-
limits, with certain adjustments, percentage increases for
local governments' government spending to the total of
inflation plus the net percentage change in actual value of
all real property within the local government due to
construction of improvements and additional taxable real
property.
The Secretary of State has also accepted a second
initiative to be placed on the ballot for the November 3,
1992, general election if sufficient signatures are collected
relating to appropriation limitations (the NSecond
InitiativeN). This Second Initiative would, among other
things, beginning with the 1993 -1994 State fiscal year, limit
the increases in total State appropriations to the percentage
of increase in State personal income per capita plus the
percentage of increase in State population during the previous
calendar year. In addition, this Second Initiative would, for
fiscal years commencing on or after January 1, 1994, limit the
percentage of increase in total appropriations by any unit of
local government, except a school district, to the percentage
of increase in state personal income per capita plus the
percentage of increase in valuation for assessment of such
local government attributable to annexation, inclusion of
territory and new construction during the previous calendar
year. There are several exceptions to this Second Initiative,
including expenditures required by the federal government.
It is not possible to predict the effect of either
the First Initiative or Second Initiative, if passed, on
future activities of the City, including its ability to raise
taxes and other funds to generate sufficient revenues for the
general fund, to undertake additional programs or to engage in
any subsequent financing activities or to pay Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals under the Lease.

THE PROJECT
General
The Project involves the acquisition, construction
and equipping of a new fleet maintenance facility on the
Property for maintenance of the City's fleet of various kinds
of vehicles, and the acquisition, construction and equipping
of a new office building. The existing fleet maintenance
building for the City was constructed close to 100 years ago
and is in very poor structural condition. The City believes
that rehabilitation of the existing building is not
economically feasible. The new facility, which is expected to
employ 18 full time city employees, is expected to contain
approximately 19,600 square feet including a repair area, a
body shop and paint booth, a parts and machine shop, and
offices and employee areas. This facility will provide
vehicle maintenance to over 750 vehicles, including those
operated by all City departments, and those of several outside
agencies including the Colorado State Lottery, University of
Southern Colorado, Rural Fire Department, Pueblo Zoological
Society, City /County Health Department, Pueblo Housing
Authority, Southside and Eastside Child Care, Pueblo County
Board for Developmental Disabilities, Boys and Girls Club, and
others. The facility will provide a full range of services
from heavy equipment repair to lube, oil and inspection
services.
Also to be constructed at the facility is a
replacement refueling station which would involve the
replacement of existing underground storage tanks for fuel
with new storage tanks that comply with guidelines of the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The facility will also contain office space, lunch
room, locker room and shower facilities for the City's Street
Maintenance and Wastewater Maintenance Divisions, consisting
of 61 employees. The additional area required for this
purpose is approximately 4,000 square feet and will be
constructed as part of the fleet maintenance facility to take
advantage of the central heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning systems and joint use areas.
Another part of this Project will be the construction
of a 7,000 square foot office building to house the Pueblo
Regional Building Department, which will provide building
permit and inspection services for the City and the County of
Pueblo.
-10-
V
Construction of the improvements is expected to
commence in approximately February of 1993 and be completed in
October of 1994. The City has not yet retained an architect
or general contractor for the Project, and all cost estimates
contained in this Official Statement are based upon the City's
internal projections.
The City anticipates that the Project will be
constructed of steel beam and rigid frame construction to
provide the needed open space for the repair area, with
masonry exterior walls, and steel roofing panels. The floor
will be reinforced concrete slab on grade construction, with
one or more below grade pits for lubrication and oil change
services.
Interior office areas, lunch room and locker rooms
will be constructed using steel stud walls with sheet rock or
masonry block walls, as the need for sound proofing dictates.
The repair area will be equipped with one or more 5-
ton overhead cranes and the building will be equipped with
exhaust ventilation equipment.
The structure that will house the Pueblo Regional
Building Department will most likely be separate but adjacent
to the fleet maintenance building. Construction is
anticipated to consist of masonry exterior with either
concrete twin tee or steel rigid frame roof structure. A one -
story structure with no basement is contemplated.
The Project has been reviewed and approved at all
appropriate levels of the City government and, because of the
age of the existing fleet maintenance facility and the need
for expanded facilities, the City considers the Project to be
very important to the efficient maintenance of the City's
vehicle fleet.
The Property
The Property is a parcel of land approximately
seven acres in size and identified as 108 -132 South Main
Street and 101 -131 South Oneida in the City. The Property is
currently owned by the Corporation and was acquired with a
portion of the proceeds of the 1990 Certificates.
-11-

its option, to be exercised on or before the sixtieth day next
preceding any such sinking fund redemption date, the City may
(a) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Certificates
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in any aggregate
principal amount desired, and (b) receive a credit in respect
of its sinking fund redemption obligation for any such
Certificates which prior to said date have been redeemed
(otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund) and
canceled by the Trustee and not theretofore applied as a
credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each
such Certificate so delivered or previously redeemed shall be
credited by the Trustee at the principal amount thereof on the
obligation of the City on such sinking fund redemption date,
and, to the extent of any excess, to the next annual sinking
fund redemption date or dates, and the principal amount of
Certificates to be redeemed by operation of such sinking fund
on such date or dates shall be accordingly reduced.
Redemption Subsequent to a Termination Event

occurrence of a Termination Event. If the Certificates are to
be redeemed subsequent to a Termination Event, the
Participants shall have no right to payment from the City, the
Corporation or the Trustee in redemption of their Certificates
or otherwise, except as expressly set forth below.
Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the
Certificates shall be payable from such moneys as may be
-15-
obtained by the Trustee through the exercise of its rights
under the Indenture. Upon the occurrence of a Termination
Event, the Trustee may commence proceedings for leasing the
Project, or the sale or assignment of the Trustee's interest
in the Project. The Trustee, as provided in the Indenture,
may, call the Certificates for redemption from and only to the
extent of the Net Proceeds of such leasing, sale or assignment
of the Project and certain other moneys, if any, then on hand
and being held by the Trustee for the Participants, subject to
the provisions of the Indenture, at 100 percent of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the
redemption date.
In the event that such Net Proceeds other moneys are
insufficient to redeem the Certificates at 100 percent of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the
redemption date, such Net Proceeds and other moneys shall be
allocated proportionately among the Certificates, according to
the principal amount thereof Outstanding. In the event that
such Net Proceeds and other moneys are in excess of the amount
required to redeem the Certificates then Outstanding at 100
percent of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
to the redemption date, then, after the Certificates have been
redeemed such excess moneys shall be paid to the City. Prior
to any distribution of such Net Proceeds in redemption of the
Certificates, the Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its
customary fees for all services rendered in connection with
such leasing, sale or assignment, as well as reimbursement for
all costs and expenses incurred thereby, from the proceeds of
such leasing, sale or assignment.
A PARTICIPANT SHOULD NOT ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL BE
POSSIBLE TO LEASE, SELL OR ASSIGN THE PROJECT FOR AN AMOUNT
EQUAL TO THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE CERTIFICATES
THEN OUTSTANDING PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON. IF THE
CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED SUBSEQUENT TO THE OCCURRENCE OF A
TERMINATION EVENT FROM SUCH NET PROCEEDS OF SUCH LEASING, SALE
OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE TRUSTEE'S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT, FOR AN
AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS
ACCRUED INTEREST TO THE REDEMPTION DATE, NO REGISTERED OWNER
OF ANY CERTIFICATE SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM FOR PAYMENT
AGAINST THE CITY, THE CORPORATION OR THE TRUSTEE.
Notice of Redemption
Notice of the call for any redemption, identifying
the Certificates or portions of Certificates to be redeemed
and specifying the terms of such redemption, shall be given by
mailing a copy of the redemption notice by registered or
certified mail at least thirty days and not more than
-16-
C2
sixty days prior to the redemption date to the registered
owner of each Certificate or portion of a Certificate to be
redeemed, at the address shown on the registration books,
provided that failure to give notice by mailing, or any defect
therein, shall not affect the validity of any redemption
proceeding as to which no such failure has occurred.
Any notice mailed as provided in the Indenture shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or
not registered owner receives the notice.
If at the time of mailing of notice of redemption
there shall not have been deposited with the Trustee moneys
sufficient to redeem all the Certificates called for
redemption, such notice will state that it is conditional upon
the deposit of redemption moneys with the Trustee by the
redemption date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless
such moneys are so deposited.
The Trustee shall pay to the registered owners of
Certificates so redeemed the amounts due on their respective
Certificates at the principal corporate trust office of the
Trustee upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates;
provided, however, that if redeemed in part, the Certificates
may be redeemed only in multiples of $5,000. Redemption
payments shall be accompanied by a written designation
prepared by the Trustee stating the portion of the payment
representing the unpaid principal amount of the Certificate
immediately prior to the payment, the portion of the payment
representing interest and the remaining portion, if any, which
shall be designated and paid as a redemption premium.
All Certificates called for redemption will cease to
bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided
that sufficient funds for redemption are on deposit with the
Trustee.
Persons Treated as Registered Owners; Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates
Upon surrender for transfer of a Certificate at the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, duly endorsed
for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by
the registered owner or the attorney of such registered owner
duly authorized in writing, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new,
fully registered Certificate or Certificates for a like
aggregate principal amount and of a like maturity, series and
interest rate.
-17-
Certificates may be exchanged at the principal
corporate trust office of the Trustee for a like aggregate
principal amount of Certificates of the same date, maturity,
series and interest rate or for a like aggregate principal
amount of Certificates of other authorized denominations of
the same date, maturity, series and interest rate.
The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or
exchange the Certificates during the period of fifteen days
next preceding any interest payment date of such Certificate
nor to transfer or exchange any Certificate after the
publication or the mailing of notice calling such Certificate
for redemption has been given as provided in the Indenture,
nor during the period of fifteen days next preceding the
giving of such notice of redemption.
As to any Certificate, the person in whose name the
same shall be registered on a Regular Record Date or Special
Record Date shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes, and payment of either principal or
interest with respect to the Certificate shall be made only to
or upon the written order of the registered owner thereof or
the legal representative of such registered owner, but such
registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such
payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge
such Certificate to the extent of the sum or sums paid.
The Trustee shall require the payment by any
Participant requesting transfer or exchange of Certificates of
any tax, trustee's fee, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such transfer.
Additional Certificates
The Indenture authorizes the issuance of Additional
Certificates under the conditions set forth in the Indenture.
See APPENDIX B.
-18-
SECURITY FOR THE CERTIFICATES
General
Each Certificate evidences the assignment of a
proportionate interest in rights to receive certain payments
pursuant to the Lease. The Corporation has assigned its right
to receive payments pursuant to the Lease (other than its
rights to payment for reimbursements of certain fees and
expenses under the Lease) to the Trustee under the Indenture
and the Trustee has agreed to hold such moneys in trust for
the benefit of the Participants. As more fully described
under the caption ~RISK FACTORS,M the Lease is subject to
termination on an annual basis at the option of the City. The
Lease Term and the schedule of payments of Base Rentals is
designed to produce moneys sufficient to pay the Certificates
when due (so long as the City elects to continue the Lease).
The Lease provides that it is the intention of the City that
the decision to terminate the Lease is to be made solely by
the City Council. Neither the Lease nor the Certificates
constitutes a general obligation or other indebtedness of the
City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
debt limitation. Neither the Lease, the Indenture nor the
Certificates has directly or indirectly obligated the City to
make any payments beyond those appropriated for the then
current Fiscal Year. Base Rentals and Additional Rentals may
be paid from any lawfully available City moneys appropriated
for that purpose.
Upon a termination of the Lease Term by reason of an
Event of Nonappropriation or an Event of Default, the City is
required to vacate the Project (leaving the Equipment) (a) by
the expiration of the lease term during which an Event of
Nonappropriation occurs, in the case of an Event of
Nonappropriation, or (b) within fifteen days after notice from
the Trustee, in the case of an Event of Default. After an
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may proceed to
foreclose on and sell the Project or lease the Project or sell
an assignment of its interest in the Lease for the benefit of
the Participants and may exercise one or any combination of
the remedies available upon default as provided in the Lease.
All property, funds and rights acquired by the Trustee upon
the termination of the Lease, along with other moneys then
held by the Trustee under the Indenture (with certain
exceptions as provided in the Lease and the Indenture), are
required to be used to redeem the Certificates, if and to the
extent any such moneys are realized. See NRISK FACTORS,~ LATHE

THE CORPORATION
Generally
The Corporation was incorporated on February 15,
1990, as a Colorado nonprofit public benefit corporation to
facilitate the financing of the acquisitions of the property
through the issuance of the 1990 Certificates. The
Corporation is governed by a three - member Board of Directors.

The directors of the Corporation will have no private
or proprietary interest in the Corporation. The Board of
Directors will serve without compensation (except
reimbursement of expenses), and no part of the Corporation's
net earnings, income or assets will inure to the benefit of
any private entity or person.
In addition to the 1990 Certificates, the Corporation
issued its Certificates of Participation dated May 23, 1991,
in the amount of $168,600 to finance the acquisition of golf
carts and related equipment for a city golf course. All of
such Certificates are currently outstanding.

The Corporation will enter into the Lease with the
City solely to facilitate the financing of the Project and the
refinancing of the 1990 Certificates. The Corporation
assigns, pursuant to the Indenture, its rights and interests
under the Lease (except certain rights to payment or
reimbursement of certain fees and expenses) to the Trustee for
the benefit of the Participants. Since the Corporation is not
financially liable for, and will not make, any Lease payments
(including Base Rentals or Additional Rentals), the
Participants will have no right to look to the Corporation for
any payment of the Certificates or for any other payments. In
-22-
addition, the Corporation has no responsibility for or control
over the expenditures of the proceeds of the Certificates.
The Corporation's obligations with respect to the Certificates
and the Project are strictly limited to those provided for in
the Lease and the Indenture. Furthermore, neither the Lease
nor the Indenture creates any pecuniary liability on the part
of the directors or officers of the Corporation.
-23-
THE CITY
General
The City was incorporated in 1885 and is one of the
original home rule cities under the Constitution of the State.
It is an incorporated municipality, a body politic and
corporate existing under the laws of the State. Because the
City is a Nhome rulem city, the City's Charter governs all
local and municipal matters. State law applies to matters of
local or municipal concern only to the extent not superseded
by the Charter or ordinances of the City. The Constitution of
the State reserves to the City certain powers for municipal
purposes, including the power to issue, refund and liquidate
municipal obligations and the power to assess property in the
City and to levy and collect taxes on such property.
The City is located in the south - central portion of
the State, approximately 110 miles south of Denver and
45 miles south of Colorado Springs. Interstate Highway 25 and
Colorado State Highway 50 intersect at the City. The City is
the population center of Pueblo County (the NCountyn) with
approximately 98,640 residents out of a total County
population of 123,051 for 1990.
City Council
The governing body of the City consists of the seven
members of the City Council. Four of these members of the
City Council are elected by district and three are elected
from the City at large. The members of the City Council are
elected for staggered four -year terms at the general municipal
election held in November in odd - numbered years. The members
of the City Council elect the President of the City Council,
who is the presiding officer and is recognized as head of the
City government for ceremonial purposes. The President of the
City Council votes, as do other members of the City Council,
has no veto power and has no special administrative duties.
The members of the City Council, the dates of expiration of
their current terms, and their principal occupations are,
respectively, as follows:
-24-
All legislative powers of the City are held by the
City Council except as provided in the City Charter. The
affirmative vote of four members of the City Council is
required for the adoption of any ordinance. The City Charter
provides for voter referendum and initiative, pursuant to
which voters can require the City Council to submit
ordinances, including the Ordinances authorizing issuance of
the Certificates, to the voters at special or general City
elections.
The City Council appoints all boards and commissions,
unless otherwise required by law, and it appoints the City
Manager. The City Manager is the executive head of the
government of the City and is responsible for the enforcement
of the City's laws and ordinances. The City Manager also
administers the operation of all the departments and divisions
of the City, including, without limitation, the finance, fire,
police, parks and recreation, personnel, public works and
purchasing departments. The City Manager has the authority to
appoint directors of all departments of the City, including
the City Attorney.
The following are brief biographies of certain of the
key administrators of the City:
Lewis A. Quigley, City Manager - -Mr. Quigley, age 57,
has been City Manager since January 1, 1987. Prior to

City Employees
The City has a total of approximately 661 full -time
employees. Three unions represent City employees. The Pueblo
Association of Government Employees ("PAGE") represents over
300 City employees. Approximately 134 employees are
represented by the International Association of Firefighters.
The International Brotherhood of Police Officers Local 537
represents about 160 employees. Contracts covering the
employees in PAGE, the International Association of
Firefighters and the International Brotherhood of Police
Officers Local 537 expire December 31, 1994.
The City, through a wholly -owned corporation, employs
approximately 26 municipal transit workers who are represented
by the Amalgamated Transit Workers Local 662. The transit
workers have recently signed a three -year contract which
expires at the end of December 31, 1994.
The City considers its employee relations to be
satisfactory.
Retirement Plans
All eligible employees of the City, other than
firemen, uniformed police, employees of Head Start, Inc., and
-26-
employees of the Pueblo Transportation Company, participate in
the state -wide Public Employees' Retirement Association
(NPERAO), a multiple - employer, cost - sharing public employee
retirement system. As of May, 1992, the City was required to
contribute to PERA an amount equal to 10.0 percent of salary
of all covered employees, and each covered employee was
required to contribute 8.0 percent of his salary. Benefits
include an annuity, payable by PERA upon an employee's
retirement, equal to 2.5 percent of highest average salary
(the average of the highest three consecutive years of
service) per year of service for the first twenty years of
service and an additional 1.25 percent of final average salary
per year of service for each year over twenty years, with a
maximum annual annuity of 75 percent of highest average
salary. Disability and death benefits also are provided.
According to the City's 1990 Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report, the Public Employees' Retirement Association of
Colorado section, PERA had a surplus of $781,652,000 as of
December 31, 1990. The total City contribution in 1991 was
$1,720,443.
The City is affiliated with the State Fire and Police
Pension Association (NFPPAff) which was effective January 1,
1980. Full -time firefighters and police officers hired on or
after April 8, 1978 (approximately 122 of the City's police
and firefighters), and electing employees hired before
April 8, 1978, are entitled to the normal retirement benefits
administered by FPPA. Benefits are calculated as 2 percent of
the average of the employee's highest three year's salary per
year of service (up to a maximum of twenty -five years).
Disability, retirement and survivor benefits are provided to
all full -time firefighters and police officers. Currently
employees and employers are each required to contribute 8
percent of their salary to FPPA. The FPPA plans are required
to be actuarially valued annually, and the rates of
contributions may be adjusted based upon the needs of the
plans to reach actuarial soundness, as long as employee
contributions do not exceed employer contributions.
The City's firefighters and police who were hired
before April 8, 1978 (approximately 200 firefighters and 183
police) are covered by the City's Fire Pension Fund and Police
Pension Fund, respectively. Based upon projections from the
results reported in actuarial valuation reports dated
January 1, 1988, the unfunded accrued liability for the Fire
Pension Fund as of January 1, 1990 was $21,676,062, and for
the Police Pension Fund it was $639,982, both based on full
rank escalation. The annual payment required to amortize
unfunded accrued liability over thirty -seven years from 1990
was calculated to be $2,075,225(or 78.261 percent of salary)
-27-
for the Fire Pension Fund and $414,244 (or 11.0 percent of
salary) for the Police Pension Fund.
Municipal services
The City provides its citizens with fire and police
protection, streets and highways, public works and
improvements, parks and recreation services, health and
sanitation services, social services, planning and zoning and
general administrative services. Water services are provided
by the Board of Waterworks of the City. Gas and electric
services in the City are provided by private companies.
The City owns and operates Pueblo Memorial Airport, a
separately incorporated bus company providing services within
the City, a public ice arena and public swimming pools. The
airport facility currently is operated on a self- sustaining
basis with the exception of an annual City subsidy which is
estimated to total $613,804 for 1992. The bus company
operations are subsidized by the City and the federal
government with subsidies from the City's General Fund and the
federal government expected to be $613,804 for 1992. The
operations of the ice arena were subsidized by the City in
1990 in an amount equal to $228,357 and the swimming pools
were subsidized by the City in 1992 in an amount equal to
$243,185.
Capital Improvements
As part of the budget message or as a separate report
attached thereto, the City Manager is required to annually
present a program on proposed capital projects for the ensuing
fiscal year and for four fiscal years thereafter. The City
Manager recommends to the City Council those projects to be
undertaken during the ensuing fiscal year and the method of
financing such projects. The City Council may levy annually a
tax of not more than two mills to be assessed upon the
valuation within the City at the same time as the regular
annual taxes for City expenses, for the benefit of a fund
known as the MCapital Improvement Fund.n The City did not
levy any mills in 1992 for the Capital Improvement Fund,
although it is considering doing so for next year. The
Capital Improvement Fund was established for the purpose of
paying the cost of capital improvements for which the City is
authorized by the City Charter to issue bonds and for no other
purpose. The proceeds of such levy are kept by the Director
of Finance in a special account until invested as authorized
by the City Council subject to existing laws. The City
Council has the power to transfer from time to time to the
Capital Improvement Fund any portion of the General Fund
-28-
surplus not otherwise appropriated. Any unappropriated
balance in the Capital Improvement Fund may be transferred by
the City Council for payment of outstanding bonded
indebtedness of the City.
Pursuant to the proposals submitted by the City
Manager, the City annually budgets and expends funds on
capital improvements for street construction, replacement and
addition of traffic control devices, improvements and
acquisitions of recreational facilities, and other similar
improvements. In addition to the Capital Improvement Fund
mill levy described above, capital improvements ordinarily are
funded from the City's General Fund. The City estimates that
expenditures for such capital improvements will be
approximately $990,000 in 1992 and $900,000 in 1993. The City
has also implemented a half -cent sales tax increase for the
calendar years 1992 through 1997, the proceeds of which are
being restricted for job - creating capital improvements within
the City and at the Pueblo Memorial Airport and Industrial
Park.
Debt Structure
The City Charter provides that the City may not issue
bonds payable out of general property taxes (i) except
pursuant to an ordinance duly adopted by the City Council of
the City and (ii) until the question of such issuance shall
have been approved by a majority of the qualified electors of
the City voting at a special or general election. The City
Charter authorizes the City to issue general obligation
refunding bonds pursuant to an ordinance duly adopted by the
City Council without an election. The aggregate amount of all
indebtedness of the City may not exceed 10 percent of the
assessed valuation of the taxable property within the City as
shown by the last assessment for City purposes. Excluded from
the computation of indebtedness for the purpose of this
limitation are general obligation bonds or other evidences of
indebtedness issued by the City for the acquisition, extension
or improvement of water or the municipal water works system,
local improvement district bonds, revenue bonds and refunding
bonds. As of December 31, 1991 the City's debt limit was
$37,944,720 and the amount of outstanding debt applicable to
the limit (after deductions allowed by law) was $13,127,121,
leaving a legal debt margin of $24,817,149.
Some portions of the City are subject to property tax
levies for bonded indebtedness of metropolitan districts or
other entities which overlap small portions of the City, but
none of this indebtedness is material from the standpoint of
the amount payable by residents of the City. The City also
-29-
has issued (a) general obligation bonds outstanding in an
aggregate principal amount of $12,845,001 as of December 31,
1991, which bonds are presently being paid from revenues
generated by the City's taxes, and (b) sewer revenue bonds
outstanding in an aggregate principal amount of $30,545,000 as
of June 1, 1992, which bonds are presently being paid from
revenues generated by the City's sewer system.

The major sources of City revenues (sales and use
taxes and property taxes) are applied to City operations and
maintenance, capital expenditures and debt service.
Sales and Use Taxes The City's sales and use tax is
imposed in accordance with the City Charter and sales and use
tax ordinances at the current rate of 3.5 percent. One -half
cent of the sales tax is restricted for jobs creating capital
improvements within the City and for capital improvements at
the Pueblo Municipal Airport and Industrial Park and will be
in effect through 1997. During the past ten years, the City
has received annually at least 63 percent of its total tax
revenues from sales and use taxes. Pursuant to the City's
sales tax ordinance, the City Council cannot adopt a mill levy
exceeding 19.75 per thousand dollars assessed value (19.75
mills for each $1 of assessed valuation) for municipal
purposes including capital improvements (excluding water
bonds) without causing the City's sales and use tax ordinance
to become null and void. See 'Ad Valorem Property Taxes"
below.
Ad Valorem Property Taxes An important source of
revenue to the City is the general ad valorem tax annually
levied on and against all of the taxable property within the
City. Both real and personal property are subject to
taxation, but there are certain classes of property which are
exempt, including property of the United States; property of
the State and its political subdivisions; public libraries;
school property; charitable property; property of religious
organizations; cemeteries; irrigation ditches, canals and
flumes; household furnishings; livestock; agricultural and
livestock products and equipment; personal effects and
intangible personal property.
The value of real property for tax purposes is
computed using market values and other statutory factors as
well as manuals and data supplied by the State Property Tax
Administrator. For tax years 1983 through 1986, the 1977
levels of value so computed were used. For tax years 1988 and
1989, the 1985 levels of value were used. For tax years 1989,
1990 and 1991, the level of value to be used is based on the
level of value for the period of one and one -half years
immediately prior. The level of value is then to advance by
one year each year thereafter.
As of January 1, 1985, the State General Assembly was
required to determine the percentage of the aggregate
statewide valuation for assessment which is attributable to
residential real property. For each subsequent year, the
General Assembly must redetermine the percentage of the
-32-
aggregate statewide valuation for assessment which is
attributable to each class of taxable property, after adding
any increased valuation for assessment attributable to new
construction and increased oil and gas production. For each
year in which there is a change in the level of value, the
General Assembly is required to adjust the assessed valuation
ratio for residential real property as necessary to maintain
the previous year's percentage of aggregate statewide
valuation attributable to residential real property. For tax
year 1991, residential real property was valued for assessment
at 14.34 percent of its actual value as provided by statute.
For tax year 1989, it was 15 percent, for tax year 1988,
residential real property was valued for assessment at 16
percent of its actual value; and for 1987 it was 18 percent.
For tax years immediately prior to 1987, residential real
property was valued for assessment at 21 percent of its actual
value. All other taxable property, except agricultural
property, will continue to have an assessed valuation ratio of
29 percent.
The County Assessor is required to complete the
assessment rolls of all taxable property no later than
August 25 each year. The abstracts of assessment prepared
therefrom are reviewed by the State Property Tax Administrator
and, if necessary, the State Board of Equalization orders the
County Assessor to correct assessments. Assessments are
subject to further review at various stages by the Board of
Assessment Appeals and by the State courts.
Upon receipt of the County Assessor's certifications,
the City Council computes rates of levy which, together with
other legally available revenues, will raise the amounts
required for the City.
The mill levies computed by the City Council are
certified to the County Assessor, who levies the tax on all
taxable property within the City. The County Treasurer has
the responsibility of sending tax bills to property owners and
collecting the taxes.
Taxes levied in one year are collected in the next.
Thus, 1991 taxes will be collected during 1992. Taxes are due
January 1 in the year of collection; however, they may be paid
in either one installment (not later than April 30) or in two
equal installments (not later than the 28th day of February
and the 15th day of June, respectively) without interest
penalty. Pursuant to statute, the County Treasurer charges
the following fees on all taxes collected for the City: 1/2
percent on general fund and 1 percent on special building fund
revenues. There is no collection fee for the bond redemption
-33-
fund levy. Collection fees are deducted from gross tax
receipts and the balance remitted monthly to the City.
Taxes which are not paid within the prescribed time
limits bear interest at the rate of 1 percent per month until
paid. Unpaid amounts and the accrued interest thereon become
delinquent on June 16. All taxes levied on property, together
with interest thereon and penalties for default, as well as
other costs of collection, constitute a perpetual lien on and
against the property. Such lien is on a parity with the tax
liens of other general taxes. Collection of delinquent real
property taxes is enforceable by tax sale of such realty.
Delinquent personal property taxes are similarly enforceable
by distraint, seizure and sale of the taxpayer's personal
property. Tax sales of realty are generally held on or before
the second Monday in December of the collection year, preceded
by a notice of delinquency to the taxpayer and a minimum of
four weeks public notice of the impending public sale. Sales
of personal property may be held at any time after October l
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
foreclosure and sale by a County Treasurer, would be
sufficient to produce the amount required with respect to
taxes levied by the City and by overlapping taxing entities.
Property not sold is removed from the tax rolls.
The following chart sets forth the history of
assessed valuation, mill levies and property tax collections
of the City since 1985.

Property Tax Collections of the City
(1) The Pueblo County Treasurer's 1 percent collection fee has been deducted from these amounts.
(2) These amounts include interest and penalties on delinquent taxes for the current collection year
and therefore may result in total collections in excess of 100 percent of anticipated revenues.
(3) For collection years 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990 and 1991 the City has collected (excluding
delinquencies collected) 99.48 percent, 99.61 percent, 99.56 percent, 99.59 percent, 99.16
percent and 98.53 percent, respectively, of the total tax levied in such years.
(4) Increase of assessed valuation due to change in assessment laws.

and the State of Colorado, Division of Property Taxation, 1985 -1990 Annual Reports.
In addition to the City's tax levy, owners of
property within the City are obligated to pay taxes to other
taxing entities in which their property is located. The
County Assessor's Office reports that there are six such
entities currently overlapping the City. As a result,
property owners within the City's boundaries may be subject to
different mill levies depending upon the location of their
property. Pursuant to the City's sales tax ordinance, the
City Council cannot adopt a mill levy exceeding 19.75 per
thousand dollars assessed value (19.75 mills for each $1 of
assessed valuation) for municipal purposes, including capital
improvements and excluding water bonds, without causing the
City's sales and use tax ordinance to become null and void.
The 1990 mill levy (for collection in 1991) was 17.1 mills;
the 1991 mill levy, as certified by the City, was 17.1 mills,
which will be the basis for tax collection in 1992.

valuations by property owner in the City in 1990. No
independent investigation has been made of and consequently
there can be no representation as to the financial conditions
of the property owners listed below or that such property
owners will continue to maintain their status as having the

Other Revenues The City also receives General Fund
revenues from several additional sources including franchise
taxes, tobacco taxes, licenses and permits, fines and
forfeitures and interest income. Several intergovernmental
revenue sources also are included in the General Fund,
including specific ownership taxes, cigarette taxes and
highway users' taxes. In addition, the City anticipates
receiving fewer cigarette tax revenues as fewer sales continue
to be made in the City.

City Budget
The City Charter requires the City Manager to submit
to the City Council an annual or current expense budget for
the ensuing fiscal year and a capital budget not later than
the first regular meeting of the City Council in October of
each year. The annual budget is required to contain an
estimate of all anticipated revenues and the estimated
expenditures necessary for the operation of the City's
departments, offices and agencies. It is also required to
include an estimate of the General Fund surplus or deficit,
debt service requirements and an estimate of the sum required
to be raised by tax levy for the ensuing fiscal year. After
public hearing, the City Council may adopt the budget without
change or may amend the budget by adding new items of
expenditure or by increasing, decreasing or removing items of
expenditure, except that the City Council may not reduce any
item of appropriation for debt service. The Charter directs
the City Council in adopting the budget to estimate the amount
of money necessary to be raised by tax levy, taking into
account total proposed expenditures and estimated revenues.
Prior to December of each year, the City Council is required
to adopt the budget, an appropriation ordinance and the tax
levy ordinance. For a description of the process by which
property is assessed and ad valorem taxes are levied and
collected, see NCITY REVENUES -Ad Valorem Property Taxes.N
Financial Statements
The City Charter requires an annual audit of the
books of account, financial records, and transactions of all
administrative departments of the City by independent
certified public accountants. Attached as Appendix A are the
City's Audited Financial Statements as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1990 and the report thereon of McDonald,

In recent years, there has been a major shift in
employment within the various industry sectors in the City.
Manufacturing now employs a smaller proportion of workers than
in 1981, and the relative importance of the wholesale /retail
and services sectors of the economy has correspondingly
increased. The data in the following chart indicates that
since 1986, Pueblo's job creation efforts have resulted in the
improved employment outlook in the manufacturing and services
sectors of Pueblo's economy.

Development Within The City
Historically, the predominant industries in the City
have been transportation (primarily rail) and steel
manufacturing, which began with the establishment of Colorado
Coal and Iron Company in the 1800s. Today, CF &I Steel
Corporation continues to be one of the major employers in the
City. Another major employment sector in the City is the
U.S. government which houses the U.S. Army Pueblo Depot
Activity, the U.S. Government Printing Office and an office of
the U.S. Department of Transportation in Pueblo. The City
continues to diversify its economic base with the largest
increases in percentage of persons employed in the wholesale
and retail trade, and the service sections. This is best
exhibited by the location of WATS Marketing Group
(telemarketing) in Pueblo in 1989, which now has 800
employees. City officials also are encouraging new small
business development primarily at the Business and Technology
Center, a facility designed to assist new businesses in
becoming established.
-48-
Residential development within the City consists
primarily of older housing units built by individual owners.
As of December 31, 1991, the City estimated that there were
approximately 41,024 housing units within the City with a
93.8% occupancy rate. Currently, the largest proposal for
residential development within the City is Walkingstick, a
planned 574.1 -acre 1,224 dwelling unit, mixed -use residential
and commercial development surrounding the City's new award
winning public golf course located in the northeast quadrant
of the City adjoining the University of Southern Colorado.
The master plan was approved in October 1990, with the first
subdivision anticipated in 1992.
Development Surrounding the City
Several new industries have located in the Pueblo
vicinity within the last several years in part due to the
efforts of the City and the Pueblo Economic Development
Corporation. Many of these new businesses have located at the
Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park which is situated one
and one -half miles east of the City. One such company is
Paramax Systems Corporation, a Unysis Company, an avionic
computer design and development company. Paramax, originally
the Sperry Corporation, located in the Pueblo area in 1984,
and is now one of the major employers in the area. Paramax
has two facilities at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial
Park. The first, which cost approximately $22 million, is a
manufacturing facility and was completed in 1984. It is
located on a 26 -acre site. The second is a 160,000 square
foot material management facility and was completed in May of
1986. Other significant businesses located at the Industrial
Park include: Target Stores' Retail Distribution Center;
Atlas Pacific; PCL Packaging; Kurt Manufacturing; Pryor -
Giggey; Glenn Company; Trane Company; B.F. Goodrich; Kaiser
Aerotech; McDonnell Douglas -Delta Launch Assembly; Doane
Products; and Century 400. Current employment for all these
businesses as of April 1992 is 2,288.

LITIGATION, SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND INSURANCE
Litigation
The City Attorney states that, as of the date hereof,
to the best of his knowledge, there is no pending or
threatened litigation which would restrain or enjoin the
issuance of the Certificates or the execution of the Lease.
The City is, however, subject to certain pending and
threatened litigation regarding various other matters arising
in the ordinary course of the City's business. It is the
opinion of the City Attorney that the pending litigation will
not result in final judgments against the City which would,
individually or in the aggregate, adversely affect the City's
financial position or its ability to perform its obligations
under the Lease. See NInsurance Coverages below.
Sovereign Immunity
The Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, Title 24,
Article 10, Part 1, C.R.S. (the NImmunity ActN), provides
that, with certain specified exceptions, sovereign immunity
acts as a bar to any action against a public entity, such as
the City, for injuries which lie in tort or could lie in tort.
The Immunity Act provides that sovereign immunity is
waived by a public entity for injuries occurring as a result
of certain specified actions or conditions, including the
operation of a nonemergency motor vehicle, owned or leased by
the public entity; a dangerous condition of any public
building; the operation of any public water facility; and a
dangerous condition of a public highway, road or street as
provided in the Immunity Act. In such instances, the public
entity may be liable for injuries arising from an act or
omission of the public entity or an act or omission of its
public employees, which is not willful and wanton, and which
occurs during the performance of the public employees' duties
and within the scope of the public employees' employment. The
maximum amounts that may be recovered under the Immunity Act,
whether from one or more public entities and public employees,
are as follows: (a) for any injury to one person in any single
occurrence, the sum of $150,000; (b) for an injury to two or
more persons in any single occurrence, the sum of $600,000;
except in such instance, no person may recover in excess of
$150,000. The City may, by resolution, increase any maximum
amount that may be recovered from the City for the type of
injury described in the resolution. The City has not adopted
such a resolution. However, the City may not be held liable
either directly or by indemnification for punitive or
-52-
exemplary damages unless the City voluntarily pays such
damages in accordance with State law.
The City may be subject to civil liability and may
not be able to claim sovereign immunity for actions founded
upon various federal laws. Examples of such civil liability
include suits filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging the
deprivation of federal constitutional or statutory rights of
an individual. In addition, the City may be enjoined from
engaging in anticompetitive practices which violate the
antitrust laws. However, the Immunity Act provides that it
applies to any action brought against a public entity or a
public employee in any State court having jurisdiction over
any claim brought pursuant to any federal law, if such action
lies in tort or could lie in tort.
Insurance Coverage
Since February 1, 1986, the City has been a member of
the Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency ( "CIRSA"),
a property and liability risk pool established for State
municipalities on January 1, 1982. CIRSA provides liability
coverage, including coverage for liability resulting from
errors and omissions, property coverage and specific
catastrophe coverage. An actuarial estimate is made each year
of claims expected and a gloss fund" is established in that
amount. If the value of the loss fund is exceeded by claims
submitted in any year, aggregate supplemental coverage takes
effect. The City's participation is annually renewable with
the current term ending December 31, 1992. In light of
generally rising insurance costs for public entities, there
can be no assurance that the City will continue to maintain
this level of coverage.
In the opinion of the Finance Director, the City's
present insurance coverage is adequate and customary for
similar entities insuring similar operations and assets.
TAX EXEMPTIONS
General
The Lease provides that a portion of each Base Rental
payment which is paid by the City is paid as, and represents
the payment of, interest. In the opinion of Kutak Rock,
Special Counsel, assuming continuing compliance with certain
covenants contained in the Lease and the Indenture, under the
laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions existing on
the date of the original delivery of the Certificates, the
-53-
portion of the Base Rentals designated as and comprising
interest and received by the registered owners of the
Certificates is not includible in gross income for federal
income tax purposes and is not includible in gross income for
purposes of Colorado income taxation under existing Colorado
income tax laws. Special Counsel has expressed no opinion as
to the treatment for federal or State of Colorado income tax
purposes of any moneys received in payment of or in respect to
the Certificates subsequent to termination of the obligations
of the City under the Lease by reason of a Termination Event.
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
OCodeO) imposes various restrictions, conditions and
requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for
federal tax purposes of interest on obligations, such as the
Certificates. The City has covenanted in the Lease to comply
with certain provisions designed to assure that interest
evidenced by the Certificates will not become includible in
gross income or alternative minimum taxable income. Failure
to comply with these covenants may result in interest
evidenced by the that portion of the Certificates being
included in gross income or alternative minimum taxable income
from the date of issue of the Certificates. The opinion of
Special Counsel assumes compliance with the covenants.
Special Counsel is of the opinion that interest
evidenced by the Certificates is not a specific preference
item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax provisions
contained in the Code; however, interest interest evidenced by
the Certificates will be included in the adjusted current
earnings of certain corporations and such corporations are
required to include in the calculation of alternative minimum
taxable income 75 percent of the excess of such corporation's
adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable
income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior
to reduction for certain net operating losses).
Although Special Counsel has rendered an opinion that
interest evidenced by the Certificates is excluded from gross
income for federal income tax purposes, the accrual or receipt
of interest evidenced by the Certificates may otherwise affect
the federal income tax liability of the recipient. The extent
of these other tax consequences will depend upon the
recipient's particular tax status or other items of income or
deduction. Special Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any
such consequences. Purchasers of the Certificates,
particularly purchasers that are corporations (including S
corporations, corporations subject to the environmental tax
imposed by Section 59A of the Code and foreign corporations
operating branches in the United States), property or casualty
-54-
1
insurance companies, banks, thrifts or other financial
institutions, or certain recipients of social security
benefits or railroad retirement benefits are advised to
consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of
purchasing or holding the Certificates.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity and enforceability of the Certificates
are to be approved by the law firm of Kutak Rock, as Special
Counsel, whose approving opinion will be printed on the
Certificates. Certain legal matters will be passed upon by
the Underwriter by Holme Roberts & Owen, counsel to the
Underwriter. Certain legal matters pertaining to the City
will be passed upon for the City by Thomas E. Jagger, Esq., as
City Attorney.
UNDERWRITING
Norwest Investment Services, Inc., the Underwriter,
has agreed to purchase the Certificates under a Certificate
Purchase Agreement at a purchase price of $ 3� yoo
plus accrued interest. The Underwriter is committed to take
and pay for all of the Certificates if any are taken. The
Certificate Purchase Agreement provides that the obligations
of the Underwriter are subject to certain conditions. The
Certificates are being offered for sale to the public at the
prices shown on the cover of this Official Statement.

and for the year ended December 31, 1990, included hereto as

and has been so included in reliance upon the report of
McDonald, Holligan & McPherson, Inc., given upon their

RATINGS

Certificates ratings of "Baa". An explanation of the
significance of the rating given by Moody's Investors Service
Inc. may be obtained from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. at
-55-
99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007. Such rating

withdrawal of such rating may have an adverse effect on the
market price of the Certificates.

We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of
the City of Pueblo, Colorado as of December 31, 1990, and for the year then
ended as listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial
statements are the responsibility of the City of Pueblo, Colorado manage-
ment. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the general purpose financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
general purpose financial statements. An audit also includes assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall general purpose financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the general purpose financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
City of Pueblo, Colorado as of December 31, 1990, and the results of its
operations and cash flows of its proprietary fund types for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the City of Pueblo,
Colorado has presented a combined statement of cash flows for its
proprietary fund types for the year ended December 31, 1990, rather than
a combined statement of changes in financial position.

CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1990
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The City of Pueblo, Colorado was incorporated in 1885 as a home rule city under the
Constitution of the State of Colorado. The City operates under a council - manager
form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter:
public safety (police and fire), highways and streets, sanitation, social services,
culture- recreation, public improvements, planning and zoning, and general administra-
tive services.
The financial statements of the City of Pueblo, Colorado have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to
government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted
standard- setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial
reporting principles. The more significant of the government's accounting policies
are described below.
A. Reporting Entity
In evaluating how to define the government for financial reporting purposes, manage-
ment has considered and included in the City's general purpose financial statements
all significant activities and organizations on which the City has the ability to
exercise oversight responsibility. The City's ability to exercise oversight
responsibility is the basic criterion used to determine whether or not a potential
component unit should be included with the reporting entity. Manifestations of this
oversight responsibility include, but are not limited to, the following:
Financial interdependency - When a separate agency produces a financial benefit or
imposes a financial burden on a unit of government, that agency is part of the
reporting entity. Manifestations of financial interdependency include responsibility
for financing deficits, entitlements to surpluses, and guarantees of, or "moral
responsibility" for, debt.
Selection of governing authority - An authoritative appointment is one where the
entity's chief elected official maintains a significant continuing relationship with
the appointed officials with respect to carrying out important public functions.
Designation of management - When management is appointed by and held accountable
to a governing authority that is included in the entity, the activity being managed
falls within the entity.
Ability to significantly influence operations - This ability includes, but is not
limited to, the authority to review and approve budgetary requests, adjustments,
and amendments.
Accountability for fiscal matters - Fiscal authority normally includes the authority
for final approval over budgetary appropriations, responsibility for funding deficits
and operating deficiencies, disposal of surplus funds, control over the collection
and disbursement of funds, and maintenance of title to assets.

DECEMBER 31, 1990
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd.)
A second criteria used in evaluating potential component units is the scope of public
service. Application of this criterion involves considering whether the activity
benefits the government and /or its citizens, or whether the activity is conducted
within the geographic boundaries of the government and is generally available to
its citizens. A third criterion used to evaluate potential component units for
inclusion or exclusion from the reporting entity is the existence of special
financing relationships, regardless of whether the government is able to exercise
oversight responsibilities. Based upon the application of these criteria, the
following is a brief review of each potential component unit addressed in defining
the government's reporting entity.
Included within the reporting entity:
Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo - The Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo was created
in 1959 under the provisions of Colorado law. The Authority was virtually inactive
until 1986, at which time the City and the Authority entered into a cooperation
agreement whereby the Authority acquired certain properties from the City in order
to facilitate the building of a convention center and parking structure on a portion
of the property and sell the remaining portion to a developer for the purpose of
building a hotel. Upon completion of this project, title to the convention center
and parking structure will pass to the City. The governing body of the Authority
is appointed by City Council and the proceeds from the sale of other property must
be forwarded directly to the City.
Pueblo Transportation Co. - The Pueblo Transportation Co. was a private, for - profit
corporation that was acquired by the City during the 1950's. City Council is the
governing body for the Pueblo Transportation Co. and appoints the Transportation
Co.'s management. The Pueblo Transportation Co. operates the city -wide bus system.
Pueblo Municipal Property Corporation (PMPC) - Pueblo Municipal Property Corporation
is the financing vehicle created by City Council to facilitate the construction and
operation of a new municipal golf course known as Walking Stick golf course. PMPC
is a nonprofit public benefit corporation that will lease the golf course to the
City under an annually renewable lease - purchase agreement. During 1989, PMPC issued
$4,580,000 of certificates of participation, the proceeds of which were used
for the construction of the golf course. The lease payments made by the City to
PMPC will be used to retire the certificates of participation. Upon retirement of
the certificates of participation, title to the golf course will pass to the City.
Pueblo Municipal Building Corporation (PMBC) - Pueblo Municipal Building Corporation
is another financing vehicle created by City Council to facilitate the acquisition
of certain property around the present location of City Hall. It is anticipated
that office and maintenance facilities will be built on the site in future years.
PMBC is a nonprofit public benefit corporation that is leasing the site to the City
under an annually renewable lease - purchase agreement. During 1990, PMBC issued
$565,000 of certificates of participation, the proceeds of which were used for the
acquisition of the site. The lease payments made by the City to PMBC will be used
to retire the certificates of participation. Upon retirement of the certificates
of participation, title will pass to the City.

Pueblo Board of Water Works - The Pueblo Board of Water Works was created in 1954
upon the adoption of the charter of the City of Pueblo, Colorado. Properties used
to provide water service at that time were titled in the name of the City. All
general obligation water bonds represent legally valid debt obligations of the City.
The existence of these facts suggest that the Pueblo Board of Water Works should
be included in the accompanying general purpose financial statements as a component
unit. Other factors, however, suggest that the City does not have the ability to
exercise significant oversight responsibility and thus, precludes the inclusion of
the Pueblo Board of Water Works as a component unit. These factors are as follows:
- The City Charter provides that "the entire control, management and operation
thereof shall be exercised by an independent Board . . . over which the Council
shall have no jurisdiction or control ".
- The governing body of the Pueblo Board of Water Works is elected by the citizens
of the City.
- The governing body is solely responsible for the employment of water works
employees.
- The Water Works is exclusively responsible for administration of its fiscal
affairs, including the setting of user fees.
- The Water Worksbonded debt service and capital expenditures are financed entirely
from charges for water service.
- The general obligation water bonds are also secured by a pledge of the net revenues
derived from the Water Works system. The City has never provided funding for bond
debt service.
Pueblo Library District - The Pueblo Library District was created in 1968 under the
provisions of Colorado law to further the development of publicly- supported free
library services for the citizens of the City and County of Pueblo. The governing
body of the Library District is jointly appointed by City Council and the Board of
County Commissioners. The City does not have any other oversight responsibility.
' Pueblo Housing Authority - The governing body of the Pueblo Housing Authority is
j appointed by City Council. While the City is responsible for the appointment of
' the governing body, the City does not have any other oversight responsibility. The
Authority's operating and capital expenditures are financed entirely from federal
grants and rentals. The City has no involvement in the determination of the
Authority's budget and rental rates, nor is the City responsible for any obligation
of the Authority.

Pueblo Area Council of Governments ( PACOG) - The governing body of PACOG consists
of 13 members, 7 of whom are appointed by City Council. The City's only responsi-
bility is to maintain PACOG's accounting records and they have no other oversight
with respect to PACOG's officials.
Area Agency on Aging (AAA) - Area Agency on Aging is an agency of PACOG. As such,
PACOG oversees the operations of AAA. The main function of AAA is to monitor the
services provided to the elderly throughout the City. In this capacity, AAA is the
recipient of several state and federal grants that, for the most part, are passed
through to nonprofit corporations which provide the services for the elderly.
Effective January 1, 1990, the oversight responsibility was effectively transferred
to the County of Pueblo, Colorado, even though the AAA remains an agency of PACOG.
B. Fund Accounting
The government uses funds and account groups to report its financial position and
the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal
compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to
certain government functions or activities.
A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self - balancing set of accounts. An
account group, on the other hand, is a financial reporting device designed to provide
accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds
because they do not directly affect net expendable available financial resources.
Funds are classified into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
Each category, in turn, is divided into separate "fund types ".
Governmental funds are used to account for all or most of a government's general
activities, including the collection and disbursement of earmarked monies (special
revenue funds), the acquisition or construction of general fixed assets (capital
projects funds), and the servicing of general long -term debt (debt service funds).
The general fund is used to account for all activities of the general government
not accounted for in some other fund.
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the
private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful for
sound financial administration. Goods or services from such activities can be
provided either to outside parties (enterprise funds) or to other departments or
agencies primarily within the government (internal service funds).
Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties,
including other governments, or on behalf of other funds within the government.
When these assets are held under the terms of a formal trust agreement, either a
pension trust fund, a nonexpendable trust fund or an expendable trust fund is used.
The terms "nonexpendable" and "expendable" refer to whether or not the government
is under an obligation to maintain the trust principal. Agency funds generally are
used to account for assets that the government holds on behalf of others as their
agent.

C. Basis of Accounting
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined
by its measurement focus. All governmental funds and expendable trust funds are
accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this
measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities generally are included
on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases (i.e.,
revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other
financing uses) in net current assets.
All proprietary funds are accounted for using a flow of economic resources measure-
ment focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated
with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity
(i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings
components. Proprietary fund -type operating statements present increases (e.g.,
revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets.
The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all governmental fund types,
expendable trust funds and agency funds. Under the modified accrual basis of
accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they
become both measurable and available). "Measurable" means the amount of the
transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current
period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal
and interest on general long -term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due
or when amounts have been accumulated in the debt service fund for payments to be
made early in the following year.
Those revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, franchise taxes, special
assessments, interest revenue and charges for services. Fines, permits and parking
meter revenues are not susceptible to accrual because generally they are not
measurable until received in cash.
The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by proprietary fund types. Under this
method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred.
3
t
e
r
The government reports deferred revenue on its combined balance sheet. Deferred
revenues arise when potential revenue does not meet both the "measurable" and
"available" criteria for recognition in the current period. Deferred revenues also
arise when resources are received by the government before it has a legal claim to
them, as when grant monies are received prior to the incurrence of qualifying
expenditures. In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are
met, or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, the deferred revenue
is recognized as revenue.

D. Fixed Assets and Long -Term Liabilities
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to fixed assets and long -term
liabilities associated with a fund are determined by its measurement focus. All
governmental funds and expendable trust funds are accounted for on a spending or
"financial flow" measurement focus. This means that only current assets and current
liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their reported fund
balance (net current assets) is considered a measure of "available spendable
resources ". Governmental fund operating statements present increases (revenues and
other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in
net current assets. Accordingly, they are said to present a summary of sources and
uses of "available spendable resources" during a period.
Fixed assets used in governmental fund type operations (general fixed assets) are
accounted for in the General Fixed Assets Account Group, rather than in governmental
funds. Public domain ( "infrastructure ") general fixed assets consisting of certain
improvements other than buildings, including roads, bridges, curbs and gutters,
streets and sidewalks, drainage systems, and lighting systems, are not capitalized
along with other general fixed assets. No depreciation has been provided on general
fixed assets.
All fixed assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual
historical cost is not available. Donated fixed assets are valued at their estimated
fair market value on the date donated.
Long -term liabilities expected to be financed from governmental funds are accounted
for in the General Long -Term Debt Account group, not in the governmental funds.
The two account groups are not "funds ". They are concerned only with the measurement
of financial position. They are not involved with measurement of results of
operations.
Noncurrent portions of long -term receivables due to governmental funds are reported
on their balance sheets, in spite of their spending measurement focus. Special
reporting treatments are used to indicate, however, that they should not be
considered "available spendable resources ", because they do not represent net current
assets. The special reporting treatment entails the use of a reserved fund balance
account. Recognition of governmental fund type revenues represented by noncurrent
receivables is deferred until they become current receivables.
Special reporting treatments also are applied to governmental fund inventories to
indicate that they do not represent "available spendable resources ", even though
they are a component of net current assets. Such amounts generally are offset by
fund balance reserve accounts.
Because of their spending measurement focus, expenditure recognition for governmental
fund types is limited to exclude amounts represented by noncurrent liabilities.
Because they do not affect net current assets, such long -term amounts are not
recognized as governmental fund type expenditures or fund liabilities. They instead
are reported as liabilities in the General Long -Term Debt Account Group.

All proprietary funds are accounted for on a cost of services or "capital
maintenance" measurement focus. This means that all assets and all liabilities
(whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their
balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (net total assets) is segregated into
contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary fund type
operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net
total assets. In addition, interest expense that relates to the cost of acquiring
or constructing fixed assets in enterprise funds is capitalized. Interest expense
incurred in connection with construction of capital assets has been reduced by
interest earned on the investment of funds borrowed for construction in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 62 - "Capitalization of
Interest Cost in Situations Involving Certain Tax - Exempt Borrowings and Certain Gifts
and Grants ".
Depreciation of all exhaustible fixed assets used by proprietary funds is charged
as an expense against their operations. Accumulated depreciation is reported on
proprietary fund balance sheets. Depreciation has been provided over the estimated
useful lives using the straight -line method. The estimated useful lives are as
follows:
Buildings 50 years
Improvements 20-50 years
Equipment 5 -10 years
E. Budget and Budgetary Accounting
Budgetary comparisons are included in the general purpose financial statements for
the general fund, certain special revenue funds and all debt service funds except
special assessments and Pueblo Municipal Building Corporation. These funds represent
the governmental fund types for which an annual budget has been adopted. The budget
presentation for the special revenue funds includes only the capital improvement
fund, health and human services fund, community development fund, highway users fund,
and airport special tax fund. The remaining special revenue funds generally consist
of federally- funded projects for which annual appropriations are not made by City
Council but are governed by project budgets established by the appropriate funding
agency. In addition, Council also adopts budgets for all proprietary fund types.
All budgets adopted by City Council, including the proprietary fund types, follow
the spending or "financial flow" measurement focus.
Expenditure estimates in the annual budgets are enacted into law through the passage
of an appropriation ordinance. The City Manager may at any time transfer any
y unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof from one classification of
expenditure to another within the same department, office or agency. The Council
may, by resolution, transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion
1 thereof from one department, office or agency to another. City Council may amend
the original adopted budget during the year by passing a new ordinance to reflect
t current needs, and during 1990 the expenditure estimates were amended. These
'd amendments were made in accordance with the City Charter.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont'd.)
For each legally adopted annual operating budget, budgetary control exists at the
department or total fund level. That is to say, total expenditures for each depart-
ment or fund cannot legally exceed total appropriations for that department or fund.
Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments
for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the
applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of the formal budgetary
integration in the general fund, special revenue funds, and capital projects funds.
Encumbrances outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances
since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. In addition, appropria-
tions lapse at year end.
F. Cash, Deposits and Investments
Cash and cash equivalents, as reported on the combined balance sheet, represent
interest and non- interest bearing demand deposits and money market funds. Deposits,
as reported on the combined balance sheet, include all certificates of deposit held
by the City. Investments include U.S. Treasury securities, equity securities, mutual
funds and a single premium deferred annuity.
Deposits and investments are stated at cost or amortized cost, except for the
investments in the deferred compensation agency fund which are reported at market
value.
G. Inventories
Inventories in proprietary funds are recorded at the lower of cost (first -in,
first -out) or market. Inventory in the general fund is recorded at cost and consists
of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded as an expenditure
at the time individual inventory items are purchased and the balance reflected as
inventory is adjusted based on physical count. Reported inventories in the general
fund are equally offset by a fund balance reserve which indicates that they do not
constitute "available spendable resources" even though they are a component of net
current assets.
H. Due to /Due From Other Funds
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds
for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are
classified as "due from other funds" or "due to other funds" on the balance sheet.
I. Restricted Assets
Restricted assets represent amounts held in escrow for the purpose of generating
sufficient revenues to satisfy the debt service requirements of the applicable bonds.
As further outlined in notes 6 and 7, debt service requirements include interest
only payments until August 15, 1991 for the amounts reported in the special revenue
fund and June 1, 1996 for the amounts reported in the enterprise fund.

J. Compensated Absences
Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is expected to be liquidated with
expendable available financial resources is reported as an expenditure and a fund
liability of the governmental fund that will pay it. Amounts of vested or
accumulated vacation leave that are not expected to be liquidated with expendable
available financial resources are reported in the general long -term debt group.
No expenditure is reported for these amounts. Vested or accumulated sick leave of
proprietary funds is recorded as an expense and liability of those funds as the
benefits accrue to employees. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 43, Accounting for Compensated Absences no
liability is recorded for nonvesting accumulating rights to receive sick pay
benefits. However, a liability is recognized for accumulating sick leave benefits
that is estimated will be taken as "terminal leave" prior to retirement.

In governmental fund types, bond discounts and issue costs are recognized in the
current period. Bond discounts and issue costs for proprietary fund types are
deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds using the bonds - outstanding method,
which approximates the interest method. Bond discounts are presented as a reduction
of the face amount of bonds payable whereas issue costs are recorded as deferred
charges.
M. Interfund Transactions
Quasi - external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses.
Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures /expenses
initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded
as expenditures /expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures/
expenses in the fund that is reimbursed.
All other interfund transactions, except quasi - external transactions and reimburse-
ments, are reported as transfers. Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers
of equity are reported as residual equity transfers. All other interfund transfers
are reported as operating transfers.

N. Property Tax Revenues
Property taxes are levied on December 1 based on the assessed value of property as
certified by the County Assessor by the previous September 15. Assessed values are
a percentage of actual values. A reevaluation of all property must be made every
two years. The last reevaluation date was January 1, 1989 for the 1987 base year
specified by state law.
The taxes levied on December 1, 1990 have been recorded as a receivable with a
corresponding credit to deferred revenue since it does not meet the available
criteria for revenue recognition.
0. Memorandum Only - Total Columns
Total columns on the general purpose financial statements are captioned "memorandum
only" to indicate that they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis.
Data in these columns do not present financial position, results of operations or
cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Neither
is such data comparable to a consolidation. Interfund eliminations have not been
made in the aggregation of this data.
P. Statement of Cash Flows
In 1990, the City adopted the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board
Statement No. 9, "Reporting Cash Flows of Proprietary and Nonexpendable Trust Funds
and Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting ". For purposes of
the combined statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on
hand, demand deposits and money market funds.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (Cont'd.)
Demand deposits and certificates of deposit are entirely insured by federal
depository insurance or collateralized in collateral pools maintained by individual
financial institutions that hold these deposits. Colorado law requires that
depository institutions must apply for and be designated as an eligible public
depository before the institution can accept public fund monies. The depository
institution must pledge eligible collateral as security for all public deposits held
by that institution that are not insured by depository insurance. The market value
of the collateral that each institution pledges as security must be equal to at least
102% of the total uninsured deposits held by that institution. Generally, the
eligible collateral in the collateral pools is held by the depository institution
or its agent in the name of the depository institution.
During 1989, the City adopted, by resolution, the provisions of Colorado Revised
Statutes 24-75 -601 which is entitled "Concerning Investment in Securities by Public
Entities ". This law, among other things, outlines the types of securities that
public entities in Colorado may acquire and hold as investments. These include U.S.
government and agency securities, certain bonds of political subdivisions, bankers
acceptances, commercial paper, local government investment pools, repurchase agree-
ments, money market funds and guaranteed insurance contracts. The statute also
includes a provision limiting any investment to a five year maturity unless the
governing body authorizes a longer period.
The government's deposits and investments are categorized as either (1) insured or
registered or for which the securities are held by the government or its agent in
d the government's name, (2) uninsured and unregistered for which the securities are
s held by the pledging financial institution's trust department or agent in the govern -
f ment's name in the case of deposits or, in the case of investments, uninsured and
n unregistered for which the securities are held by the counter party's safekeeping
department or agent in the government's name, or (3) uninsured and unregistered,
with securities held by the financial institution's trust department or agent but
not in the government's name in the case of deposits or, in the case of investments,
uninsured or unregistered for which the securities are held by the counter party's
safekeeping department or agent but not in the government's name.

Property taxes receivable reflect 1990 property taxes that will be collected by the
Pueblo County Treasurer in 1991. Taxes collected by the Treasurer are remitted to
the City on a monthly basis. These taxes are due January 1 and may be paid in two
installments (February 28 and July 31) or they may be paid in full on April 30.
Taxes not paid in accordance with this schedule accrue interest and penalty charges
and are subject to liens if not paid by November.
Notes receivable are summarized as follows:
Non - interest bearing note from Ross Investment Group -
Pueblo, Ltd. from Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo;
due in 10 annual installments beginning September 1993;
secured by deed of trust on land
Non - interest bearing demand note from Pueblo Development

The loans made under the housing and rehabilitation program are only partially
repayable based on the participant's income level and other criteria. However, if
the property is sold or the participant is no longer living in the rehabilitated
residence, the total loan becomes due. As such, the gross amount of the notes
receivable is reduced to an estimate of the net realizable value by an allowance
for uncollectible accounts of $2,016,917. The difference between the gross amount
of notes due and the net realizable value is recorded as deferred revenue.

in the general fixed asset account group have been restated from amounts previously
reported so as to remove infrastructure costs that were capitalized in previous
years.

1990 for the Walking Stick golf course and includes $107,741 of net interest costs
for funds borrowed to finance construction. Interest costs totalling $351,473 were
offset by interest income of $243,732.

As disclosed in Note 1, the Urban Renewal Authority of Pueblo was inactive until
August 1986 when the Authority and the City entered into a cooperation agreement
whereby the Authority would acquire certain properties from the City for the purpose
of building a convention center and parking structure. Based on this agreement,
the Authority issued $9,950,000 of short series tax increment revenue bonds. The
proceeds, however, were not used for acquisition or construction since the Authority
was not able to obtain a private developer to construct a hotel adjacent to the
convention center and parking structure. As such, the proceeds were placed in escrow
and invested in a certificate of deposit whereby the interest earnings from the
certificate would be sufficient to service the tax increment bonds. The bonds and
certificate were scheduled to mature on August 15, 1988 if the Authority was unable
to obtain a developer for the hotel. Since the Authority was not able to obtain
a developer for the hotel, the tax increment bonds were remarketed in 1988 for an
additional one year period. In August, 1989, the Authority again remarketed the
tax increment revenue bonds for an additional two year period expiring August 15,
1991. Interest on the bonds is paid from the interest earnings on the above
repurchase agreement.
In 1986, the City issued $11,600,000 of sewer revenue crossover refunding bonds for
the purpose of advance refunding $15,955,000 of the 1985 refunding sewer revenue
bonds maturing after January 1, 1996. Since a crossover refunding does not result
in a defeasance of debt on the issue date, both the new debt and old debt are
recorded as debt until the crossover date, which in this case is June 1, 1996. At
that time, the investments in the escrow account should be sufficient to retire the
old debt. The investments reported above in the sewer user enterprise fund represent
the carrying value of the escrow account that is servicing the crossover refunding
bonds.

NOTE 8 — DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
The City offers its employees two deferred compensation plans created in accordance
with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plans, available to all City employees,
permit them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. Participation
in the plans is optional. The deferred compensation is not available to employees
until termination, retirement, death or unforeseeable emergency. All amounts of
compensation deferred under the plans, all property and rights purchased with those
amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property or rights are (until
paid or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property
and rights of the City subject only to the claims of the government's general
creditors. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to those of general
creditors of the City in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred
account for each participant. The City believes that it is unlikely that it will
use the assets to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future.

Investments are managed by the plans' trustee under one of four investment options,

participants.
NOTE 9 — FUND EQUITY
Certain portions of fund equity have been reserved that represent funds not available
for appropriation in the subsequent year. In addition, the City has designated
portions of their unreserved fund equity for certain subsequent years' expenditures
which can be appropriated in future years. The following is a description of these
reserves and designations at December 31, 1990:
RESERVATIONS OF RETAINED EARNINGS

NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS
The City participates in four retirement plans as follows:
Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA)
The Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA) was created by Colorado statute
effective January 1, 1980. Effective January 1, 1981, the fiduciary responsibili-
ties of investment, accountability and custody of both the City's fire and police
pension funds were transferred to FPPA. The terms of the state -wide plan
differentiate between those hired before April 8, 1978 (old hires) and those hired
after April 8, 1978 (new hires). The plan stipulates that all full -time paid
firemen and policemen are covered by the death and disability provisions of the
plan and all new hires are covered by the retirement provisions of the state -wide
plan. The old hires have the option of being covered by the retirement provisions
of the state -wide plan or the retirement provisions of the old plans. As such,
the following disclosures are presented as old hire -fire old hire - police and
new hire - fire and police These plans represent three of the four retirement
plans in which the City participates.
A. Plan Description
Both the Old Hire -Fire and Old Hire - Police plans are agent multiple - employer
Public Employee Retirement Systems (PERS). Full time police officers and
firemen employed as of April 7, 1978 are eligible to participate in these
plans. For the year ended December 31, 1990, the City's payroll for Old Hire -
Fire employees was $2,582,754; the Old Hire- Police payroll was $3,810,447.
Total payroll for the City of Pueblo or the same period was ;21,352,225.
Employees covered by both the Old Hire -Fire and Old Hire - Police plans are
required to contribute 8% of their annual salary to the System. The City is
required to contribute the balance necessary to fund the system based on
actuarial computations specified by statute.
Old Hire -Fire employees may retire upon reaching age 50 and completing 20 years
of service. Participants are entitled to a monthly pension equal to one -half
of their monthly salary at the date of retirement. The plan also provides a
post- retirement death benefit. The plan also includes a rank escalation clause
which, based on the City's interpretation, provides for an increase in the
participant's monthly pension in proportion to increases in pay for the
participant's rank at retirement.
Old -Hire Police employees may retire upon reaching age 55 and completing 25
years of service. The annual pension is equal to 2% of the participant's
highest annual compensation multiplied by years of service up to 25 years plus
1% of highest annual compensation for each year of service in excess of 25
years. A police officer terminating employment with 25 years of service before
attaining age 55 will be eligible for a pension calculated as described above,
upon reaching age 55. If a police office terminates employment with less than
25 years of service, participant's contributions are refunded without interest.
The plan also includes a rank escalation clause which, based on the City's
interpretation, provides for an increase in the participant's pension to
increases in pay for the participant's rank at retirement.

NOTE 12 - PENSION PLANS (Cont'd.)
B. Funding Status and Progress
The amounts shown below as "pension benefit obligation" for the Old Hire -Fire
and Old Hire - Police plans are a standardized disclosure measure of the present
value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary
increases, estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service
to date. The measure is intended to help users assess the funding status of
the System(s) on a going concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating
sufficient assets to pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among employers.
The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits.
The "pension benefit obligations" presented below as of January 1, 1990, for
both the Old Hire -Fire and Old Hire - Police were determined by projecting the
results of the actuarial valuation as of January 1, 1988 taking into account
expected service and salary increases and actual benefit distributions for the
1988 plan year. Other significant assumptions used in the actuarial valuations
for both plans include (a) a rate of return on the investment of present and
future assets of 7�% per year compounded annually, (b) earnings progression rate
of 5% per year for inflation plus k% per year for each 5 years of employment,
(c) cost of living escalators of 4.5% per year compounded annually for benefits
accrued prior to January 1, 1980, and 3% per year thereafter which is the
maximum permitted by law, and (d) 4.5% per year for rank escalation. The pension
benefit obligation for each of the plans is as follows:

C. Actuarially Determined Contribution Requirements and Contributions Made
The System's funding policy provides for actuarially computed contributions
funded on a monthly basis. Under the unit credit actuarial cost method with
service prorate, the normal cost is computed as the actuarial present value
of benefits expected to be accrued in the year beginning on the valuation date.
The contributions for 1990 were computed to pay normal cost and amortize the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability over 37 years from 1989. Significant
actuarial assumptions used to compute the actuarially determined contribution
requirement are the same as those used to compute the pension benefit obligation
as described in B above.
Contributions to the System for 1990 totalled $1,516,350 for the Old Hire -Fire
and $649,376 for the Old Hire - Police These contributions were made in
accordance with actuarially determined requirements computed by actuarial
valuation performed as of January 1, 1990. Additional contribution information

Every year FPPA distributes state funds to assist old hire police and fire
pension plans in reducing their unfunded liabilities. This distribution is
made in accordance with state law and requires that such plans meet certain
employer /employee contribution criteria. The main criterion is that the
contribution be increased by a certain percent over the previous year until
the plan is actuarially sound. In 1990, the unfunded liabilities in the City
of Pueblo's Old Hire -Fire plan were reduced by a $643,205 distribution of
state funds.

New Hire Fire and Police (Cont'd.)
Full time police officers and firemen employed subsequent to April 8, 1978 are
eligible to participate in the plan. Employees hired prior to April 8, 1978 may
elect coverage under the terms of the new hire plan if their employer is affiliated
with FPPA. The City is affiliated with FPPA and certain old hires did make this
election in 1981. Any member may retire from further service and be eligible for
a normal retirement pension at any time after age 55 and at least 25 years of
service. The annual normal pension is equal to 2% of the average of the highest
three years' base salary multiplied by the years of service prior to age 60. In
addition, participants are 1007. vested after 10 years of service. If a participant
terminates employment prior to retirement, the participant may elect to leave
contributions with the plan and become eligible for retirement pension at age 55
or the participant may elect to receive the contributions in a lump sum including
interest at 5%. An early retirement benefit is available after completion of 30
years of service and upon reaching age 50 in the amount of the normal retirement
reduced by 1/2 of 1% for each month the benefit commences prior to age 60.
Employees are required to contribute 8% of their annual salary to the System. The
City is required by state statute to contribute an amount at least equal to the
employee rate. The contribution requirement for the year ended December 31, 1990
was $428,522, of which equal amounts of $214,261 were contributed by the City of
Pueblo and the employees, both representing 8% of covered payroll.
The "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present
value of pension benefits, adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases
estimated to be payable in the future as a result of employee service to date.
The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is
intended to help users of financial statements assess the Plan's funding status on
a going- concern basis, assess progress made in accumulating sufficient assets to
pay benefits when due, and make comparisons among public employee retirement
systems. This PERS does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit
obligations for individual employers. The pension benefit obligation at January
1, 1990 for the system as a whole, determined through an actuarial valuation
performed as of that date, was $36,261,730. The net assets available for benefits
on that date, valued at market, was $68,502,714, leaving an excess of net assets
available for benefits over the pension benefit obligation of $32,040,984. The
City's 1990 contribution of $214,261 represents 6% of total contributions required
of participating entities.
Ten year historical trend information showing the System's progress in accumulating
sufficient assets to pay benefits when due is presented in the System's December

Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA)
e
All full -time employees of the City, except firemen, uniformed police, employees
y of Head Start, Inc. and employees of the Pueblo Transportation Company, participate
d in the state -wide Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA), a multiple-
s
employer, cost - sharing public employee retirement system. The payroll for employees
covered by the system for the year ended December 31, 1990 was $8,680,828; the City's
r
f total payroll for the year ended December 31, 1990 was $21,352,225.
t Members are eligible for service retirement benefits upon reaching (a) age 65 with
n
t five or more years of credited service, (b) age 60 with 20 or more years of credited
service, (c) age 55 with 30 or more years of service or by (d) earning 35 or more
5 years of credited service. Such benefits are equivalent to 2.5 percent of their
Highest Average Salary ( "HAS ") during their highest paid three years of service
(defined as three periods of 12 consecutive months) prior to retirement for each
year of service up to 20 years, and 1.25 percent for each year over 20 years. The
maximum benefit available is 75 percent of their HAS. The Plan also permits reduced
service retirement at age 55 with 20 or more years of credited service, or at age
60 with five or more years of credited service. Members may elect to receive their
benefits in the form of single or joint life payments.
The Plan also provides for disability retirement and survivor benefits. Members
who become permanently disabled with at least five years of earned service since
the begining of the most recent period of membership can receive disability benefits
that are based on service credit projected to 20 years or age 65, whichever is first.
The HAS calculation is the same as that used for service retirement.
If an active member dies after accumulating at least one year of service credit,
a benefit based upon the accumulated credited service as of the time of death and
the number and relationship of family survivors is payable to such survivors.
Employer and employee contributions are defined by state statute based upon actuarial
valuations performed annually. The contribution requirement for the year ended
December 31, 1990 was $1,579,910, which consisted of $885,444 from the City and
$694,466 from employees; these contributions represented 10.2% and 8.0% of covered
payroll, respectively.
The "pension benefit obligation" is a standardized disclosure measure of the present
value of pension benefits adjusted for the effects of projected salary increases
and estimated to be payable in the future as a result of member service to date.
The measure is the actuarial present value of credited projected benefits and is
intended to (a) help users assess the Plan's funding status on a going- concern basis,
(b) assess progress being made in accumulating sufficient assets to pay benefits
when due and (c) allow for comparisons among public employee retirement plans. The
System does not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit obligation
for individual employers. The pension benefit obligation at December 31, 1989 for
the system as a whole, determined by an actuarial valuation performed as of that
date, was approximately $8,580,346,000. The System's net assets available for
benefits on that date, valued at market, were approximately $9,361,998,000, leaving
assets in excess of pension benefit obligation of $781,652,000. The City's 1990
contribution represented .3 percent of total contributions of all participating
entities.

NOTE 16 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Pursuant to state law, the City elected to become a self- insured public entity and
act as its own insurance carrier for compensation and benefits under the Workers'
Compensation Act of Colorado effective January 1, 1991.
In March 1991, the City agreed to advance $332,000 to Pueblo Development Foundation
(PDF) for the purpose of remodeling a shell building at the Airport Industrial
Park. The funds for the advance came from the airport special tax capital projects
fund. PDF will repay this advance, plus previous advances made to construct two
shell buildings as described in Note 3, from the proceeds of the sale or rental
of these two buildings.
NOTE 17 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The following is a summary of the more significant contingencies and commitments
that existed at December 31, 1990:
In 1985, the City entered into a contract for the construction of a sanitary sewer
treatment facility. Disputes have arisen between the City and the general
contractor. The City has asserted certain claims against the contractor totalling
approximately $2 million. The contractor, in turn, has filed a counterclaim wherein
it seeks damages of approximately $4.1 million. The City intends to vigorously
contest the contractor's claims. At this time, it is not possible to determine
the likelihood of loss, if any, or the range of possible loss. In addition, the
accounts payable totalling $2,634,594 for the enterprise funds includes $1,382,318
of retention payable that is part of the dispute described above.
In 1986, the Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA) ruled that the City elected
to pay full rank escalation pension benefits to the City's "old hire" fire and
police employees. The city is contesting the ruling with respect to the "old hire"
fire employees and contends that it did not make such an election. Legal counsel
has advised the City that it is not possible to express an opinion regarding the
ultimate outcome of this case, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss,
if any.
Under the terms of federal and state grants, periodic audits are required and
certain costs may be questioned as not being appropriate expenditures under the
terms of the grants. Such audits could lead to reimbursement to the grantor
agencies.
During 1987 one such audit was performed by the Office of Inspector General /Office
of Audits, U.S. Department of Commerce relative to EDA Grant No. 05 -19- 02137. The
grant, not to exceed $1,272,000, was awarded on July 19, 1984, and was to assist
in reducing severe unemployment by providing funds for public improvements to
support a new manufacturing facility and for future industrial development. The
federal funds provided under the grant were $1,059,945.
A-54
CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO
( NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont'd.)
DECEMBER 31, 1990
NOTE 17 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS (Cont'd.)
The audit reported that the City, while implementing the grant, violated federal
regulations, the grant terms and conditions, and the intent of the amended Public
Works and Economic Development Act of 1965. These alleged violations related to
job relocation issues and individual financial interests of a person asserted to
be an agent for the City. City officials strongly disagree with and dispute the
findings and the matter has not yet been resolved.
In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 1, the City
has recognized as an expenditure and a liability in the General Fund the accrued
vacation and sick pay that is expected to be liquidated with available spendable
resources. The remaining amount of the unpaid vacation and sick pay attributable
to governmental funds has been recognized in the General Long -Term Debt Account
Group. The unpaid vacation and sick pay attributable to proprietary funds has been
accrued in its entirety.
The following is a summary of the total unpaid vacation and sick pay that existed
at December 31, 1990:
General Fund $ 150,000
Enterprise Funds -
Memorial Airport 123,362
Pueblo Transportation Co. 123,401
Sewer User 199,005
Internal Service Funds -
City Shops 54,083
General Long -Term Debt 3,736,172
i
TOTAL $ 4,386,023
The total amount of $4,386,023 consists of $1,845,273 vacation pay and $2,540,750
sick pay.
In prior years, the City has defeased various bond issues by issuing new debt with
the proceeds of the new debt being used to purchase U.S. government securities.
The U.S. government securities acquired were placed in an irrevocable trust such
that the investments and earnings from the securities are sufficient to fully service
the defeased debt until the debt is called or matures. For financial reporting
purposes, the debt has been considered defeased and therefore removed as a liability
from the City's general long -term debt account group or the applicable enterprise
fund if the defeased debt was a revenue bond. As of December 31, 1990, the amount
of defeased debt outstanding but not reported on the general purpose financial
statements totalled $42,214,000, including $21,640,000 of sewer revenue bonds.
As disclosed in Note 1, the general obligation bonds of the Pueblo Board of Water
Works constitute legally valid general obligation bonds of the City. At December
31, 1990, $25,725,000 of general ogligation water refunding bonds were outstanding.

Term may be continued, solely at the option of the City, for the first Renewal
Term and for additional Renewal Terms thereafter, each of one year in
duration, except that the final Renewal Term, if any, shall commence on
January 1, 2012 and shall terminate on December 15, 2012 or, if all Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals for such Renewal Term have not then been paid
by the City, on such later date as all Base Rentals and Additional Rentals are
paid by the City.
B -11
In the event that the City determines
for any reason, not to renew the
Lease, the City will give written notice to such effect to the Trustee, the
Corporation and the Underwriter not less than 30 days prior to the end of the
original Term or the then current Renewal Term; provided, however, that a
failure to give such notice will not constitute an Event of Default, nor
prevent the City from declining to renew the Lease, nor result in any
liability on the part of the City.
The option of the City to renew or not to renew the Lease will be
conclusively determined by whether or not the City Council has, on or before
the December 31 immediately preceding the commencement of any Renewal Term,
budgeted and appropriated, specifically with respect to the Lease, moneys
sufficient to pay all the Base Rentals and reasonably estimated Additional
Rentals for such ensuing Renewal Term.
The City Council has represented in the Lease that it is the intention of
the City Council that the decision to renew or not to renew the Lease will be
made solely by the City Council and not by any other City officer, and the
City Manager of the City (or any other officer at any time charged with the
responsibility of formulating budget proposals) will be directed to include in
the budget proposals submitted to the City Council, in any year in which the
Lease is in effect, items for all payments required for the ensuing Renewal
Term under the Lease. The City will in any event, whether or not the Lease is
to be renewed, furnish the Trustee, the Corporation and the Underwriter with
copies of its annual budget promptly after the budget is adopted.
The terms and conditions during any Renewal Term are the same as the
terms and conditions during the Original Term, except that the Base Rentals
shall be as provided in the Lease.

earliest of any of the following events:
(a) The expiration of the Original Term or any Renewal Term during
which there occurs an Event of Nonappropriation which is not thereafter

of (c) below, if applicable) and the Certificates have been paid or
deemed paid pursuant to the Indenture;
(c) Discharge of the Indenture;
(d) An Event of Default and termination of the Lease Term by the

and Additional Rentals have been paid.
B -12
Termination of the Lease Term shall terminate all unaccrued obligations
of the City under the Lease (except for the certain payments required if the
City holds over), and will terminate the rights of the City to possession of
the Project under the Lease (except to the extent of any conveyance pursuant
to the Lease); but all other provisions of the Lease, including all
obligations of the City thereunder accrued prior to such termination, and all
obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Registered Owners and the
receipt and disbursement of funds, will continue until the Indenture is
discharged.
Enjoyment of The Project
The Corporation covenants in the Lease that the City will during the
Lease Term peaceably and quietly have and hold and enjoy the Project without
suit, trouble or hindrance from the Corporation, except as expressly required
or permitted by the Lease or the Indenture. The Corporation will not
interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the Project by the City during
the Lease Term, so long as the Lease Term is in effect. The Corporation will,
at the request of the City and at the cost of the City, join and cooperate
fully in any legal action in which the City asserts its right to such
possession and enjoyment, or which involves the imposition of any taxes or
other governmental charges on or in connection with the Project. In addition,
the City may at its own expense join in any legal action affecting its
possession and enjoyment of the Project, and shall be joined (to the extent
legally possible, and at the expense of the City) in any action affecting its
liabilities under the Lease.
Equitable title to the Project will be deemed to vest in the City,
subject to the rights of the Corporation, the Trustee under the Lease and the
Indenture.
Payments by the City
Payments to Constitute Currently Budgeted Expenditures of the City The
City and the Corporation acknowledge and agree in the Lease that the Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals will constitute currently budgeted expenditures
of the City. The obligations of the City under the Lease is only from year to
year, and will not constitute a mandatory payment obligation of the City in
any fiscal year beyond a fiscal year during which the Lease is in effect.
No provision of the Lease will be construed or interpreted as creating a
general obligation or other indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional, statutory or Charter debt limitation. No provision of the
Lease will be construed or interpreted as creating a delegation of
governmental powers nor as a donation by or a lending of the credit of the
City within the meaning of Section 1 or 2 of Article XI of the Constitution of
the State. Neither the Lease nor the issuance of the Certificates will
directly or indirectly obligate the City to make any payments beyond those
appropriated for any fiscal year in which the Lease shall be in effect. The
City is under no obligation to exercise its option to purchase the Project.
B -13
No provision of the Lease shall be construed to pledge or to create a lien on
any class or source of City moneys, nor shall any provision of the Lease
restrict the future issuance of any City bonds or obligations payable from any
class or source of City moneys (provided, however, that the restrictions of
the Indenture shall apply to the issuance of Additional Certificates).
Base Rentals and Additional Rentals The City shall pay Base Rentals
directly to the Trustee for distribution to the Registered Owners in
accordance with the Indenture during the Lease Term. There shall be credited
against the amount of Base Rentals otherwise payable under the Lease all
amounts at the time on deposit in the Certificate Fund and available for such
payments to Registered Owners. The initial Base Rentals to be paid by the
City on May 31, 1993 shall be partially in consideration for the use of the
Project by the City from July 1, 1992 until and including December 31, 1992.
Thereafter, Base Rentals due on any May 31 shall be in consideration for the
use of the Project by the City from the immediately preceding January 1 to and
including the immediately following June 30; and Base Rentals due on any
November 30 shall be in consideration for the use of the Project by the City
from the immediately preceding July 1 to and including the immediately
following December 31.
The City shall pay Additional Rentals during the Lease Term in an amount
sufficient to pay the fees and expenses of the Trustee, payments for the cost
of taxes, insurance premiums, utility charges, maintenance and repair costs,
and all other expenses expressly required to be paid under the Lease or the
Indenture, including but not limited to costs and expenses charged to or
incurred by the Corporation at the request of the City and in its capacity as
lessor, as well as for payments into the Reserve Fund or the Rebate Fund
required by the Indenture. All Additional Rentals will be paid by the City on
a timely basis directly to the Person or entity to which such Additional
Rentals are owed (except that payments into the Reserve Fund and the Rebate
Fund shall be made to the Trustee as provided in the Indenture).
Manner of Payment The Base Rentals and, if paid, the Purchase Option
Price, will be paid in lawful moneys of the United States of America to the
Trustee at its principal corporate trust office. The obligation of the City
to pay the appropriated Base Rentals and Additional Rentals, during the Lease
Term, are absolute and unconditional, and payment of the appropriated Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals may not be abated through accident or
unforeseen circumstances. Notwithstanding any dispute between the City and
the Corporation, the Trustee, any Registered Owner, any contractor or
subcontractor retained with respect to the Project, any supplier of labor or
materials in connection therewith, or any other person, the City may, during
the Lease Term, make all payments of appropriated Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals when due and may not withhold any appropriated Base Rentals or
Additional Rentals pending final resolution of such dispute, nor may the City
assert any right of set -off, abatement or counterclaim against its obligation
to make such payments. No action or inaction on the part of the Corporation
or the Trustee will affect the City's obligation to pay all appropriated Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals, during the Lease Term.
B -14
Expression of the City's Need for the Project; Determinations as to Fair
Market Value and Fair Purchase Price The City declares in the Lease its
current need for the Project and its intention and expectation that the Lease
will be renewed annually until title to the Project is acquired by the City
pursuant to the Lease; but such declaration should not be construed as
contractually obligating or otherwise binding the City or the City Council.
The City and the Corporation agree and determine in the Lease that the Base
Rentals during the Original Term and any Renewal Term represent the fair value
of the use of the Project; and that the Purchase Option Price represents the
fair purchase price of the Project. The City further determines in the Lease
that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable amount so as to place the
City under an economic or practical compulsion to renew the Lease or to
exercise its option to purchase the Project. In making such determinations,
the City and the Corporation have given consideration to the Cost of
Construction, the value of the Project, the uses and purposes for which the
Project will be employed by the City, the benefit to the City by reason of the
construction, acquisition, improvement and equipping of the Project and the
use and occupancy of the Project pursuant to the terms and provisions of the
Lease, the option of the City to purchase the Project, and the expected
eventual vesting of title to the Project in the City.
Disposition of Base Rentals Upon receipt by the Trustee of each payment
of Base Rentals, the Trustee will apply the amount of such Base Rentals in the
following manner and order:
FIRST, the amount of such payment of Base Rentals designated and
paid as interest, plus the amount of any past due interest on the
Certificates, will be deposited in the Interest Account of the
Certificate Fund.
SECOND, the remaining portion of such payment of Base Rentals will
be deposited in the Principal Account of the Certificate Fund.
Nonappropriation by the City
In the event that the City Council shall not budget and appropriate,
specifically with respect to the Lease, on or before December 31 of each year,
moneys sufficient to pay all Base Rentals and the reasonably estimated
Additional Rentals coming due for the next ensuing Renewal Term, an Event of
Nonappropriation will be deemed to have occurred (provided, however, that the
Trustee shall declare an Event of Nonappropriation on any earlier date on
which the Trustee receives written notice from the Cflty that the Lease will
not be renewed; and provided further that the Trustee may waive any Event of
Nonappropriation which is cured by the City within a reasonable time if in the
judgment of the Trustee such waiver is in the best interests of the Registered
Owners). In the event that during the .Original Term or any Renewal Term, any
Additional Rentals shall become due which were not included in the current
budget of the City, or which exceed the amounts which were included therefor
in the current budget of the City, and if there are no moneys available to pay
such Additional Rentals, then, in the event that moneys are not specifically
B -15
Y'r
budgeted and appropriated to pay such Additional Rentals within 90 days
subsequent to the date upon which such Additional Rentals are due, an Event of
Nonappropriation will be deemed to have occurred, upon notice by the Trustee
to the City to such effect (subject to waiver by the Trustee).
If an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the City shall not be obligated
to make payment of the Base Rentals or Additional Rentals or any other
payments provided for in the Lease which accrue after the last day of the
Original or Renewal Term during which such Event of Nonappropriation occurs;
provided, however, that, subject to the certain limitations, the City will
continue to be liable for Base Rentals and Additional Rentals allocable to any
period during which the City shall continue to occupy the Project.
The City will in all events vacate the Project (leaving the Equipment) by
the expiration of the Original or Renewal Term during which an Event of
Nonappropriation occurs.
The Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Nonappropriation, will be
entitled to all moneys then on hand and being held in all funds created under
the Indenture, including the Certificate Fund, the Construction Fund, the
Reserve Fund and the Expenses Fund, but excluding the Rebate Fund, for the
benefit of the Registered Owners. After the expiration of the Original or
Renewal Term during which an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the Trustee may
proceed to foreclose on and sell, lease or assign its interest in the Project
or any portion thereof and exercise the rights and remedies of a secured party
under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Equipment. All
property, funds and rights acquired by the Trustee by reason of any Event of
Nonappropriation, less any moneys due and owing to the Trustee, will be held
by the Trustee for the benefit of the Registered Owners.
Construction of the Project

be acquired, constructed, improved and equipped on behalf of the Corporation
as holder of title to the Project. Title to the Project or interests therein,

ed but not required, to complete the Project, without any direction by the City,
er from any moneys remaining in the Construction Fund.

Construction Fund to be established with the Trustee; provided, however,

making substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements to the
Project, at its own cost and expense; and title to the same shall be held in
the name of the Corporation, subject to the Lease and the Indenture, and will
be included under the terms of the Lease and the Indenture; provided, however,
that such remodeling, substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements
shall not in any way damage the Project or cause the Project to be used for
purposes other than lawful governmental functions of the City or cause the
City to violate its covenants in the Lease; and provided that the Project, as

The City may also, from time to time in its sole discretion and at its
own expense, install machinery, equipment and other tangible property in or on
the Project. All such machinery, equipment and other tangible property will
remain the sole property of the City in which neither the Corporation, the
Trustee nor the Registered Owners shall have any interest; provided, however,
that title to any such machinery, equipment and other tangible property which
becomes permanently affixed to the Project will be in the Corporation, subject
to the Lease and the Indenture, and will be included under the terms of the
Lease and the Indenture, in the event the Trustee reasonably determines that
the Project would be damaged or impaired by the removal of such machinery,
equipment or other tangible property.
B -20
Replacement and Substitution of Equipment The City will not be under
any obligation to renew, repair or replace any inadequate, obsolete, worn -out,
unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary Equipment. In any instance where the
City determines that any Equipment has become inadequate, obsolete, worn -out,
unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary, the City may remove such Equipment
from the Project and (on behalf of the Corporation) sell, trade -in, exchange
or otherwise dispose of it (as a whole or in part) without any responsibility
or accountability to the Corporation or the Trustee therefor, so long as the
total net book value of such Equipment disposed of in any one fiscal year by
the-City shall not exceed 5% of the net book value of the Project; the City
may dispose of Equipment having a total net book value in excess of such 50
threshold or after such 5% threshold is reached, however, provided that the
City will either:
(a) substitute (by direct payment of the costs thereof or by
designating as Equipment, machinery, equipment or other personal
property, other than property included as part of the Project) and
install anywhere in or on the Project, other equipment, machinery or
related property having equal or greater value and utility (but not
necessarily having the same function) in the operation of the Project; or
(b) not make any such substitution and installation, provided (i)
in the case of the sale of any such Equipment to anyone other than itself
or in the case of the scrapping thereof, the City must pay to the Trustee
for deposit into the Extraordinary Redemption Fund the net proceeds from
such sale or the scrap value thereof, as the case may be, (ii) that in
the case of the trade -in of such Equipment for other machinery, equipment
or related property not to be installed in or on the Project, the City
must pay to the Trustee for deposit into the Extraordinary Redemption
Fund the amount of the credit received by it in such trade -in and (iii)
that in the case of the sale of any such Equipment to the City, or in the
case of any other disposition thereof, the City must pay to the Trustee
for deposit into the Extraordinary Redemption Fund an amount equal to the
original cost thereof less depreciation at rates calculated in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.
The removal from the Project of any portion of the Equipment will not entitle
the City to any postponement, abatement or diminution of the Base Rentals or
other payments required to be made under the Lease.
Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges In the event that
the Project or any portion thereof is, for any reason, deemed subject to
taxation, assessments or charges lawfully made by any governmental body, the
City will, during the Lease Term, pay the amount of all such taxes,
assessments and governmental charges then due as Additional Rentals. With
respect to special assessments or other governmental charges which may be
lawfully paid in installments over a period of years, the City will be
obligated to provide for Additional Rentals only for such installments as are
required to be paid during the Original or any Renewal Term. The City will
not allow any liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges to exist
B -21
with respect to the Project or any portion thereof (including, without
limitation, any taxes levied upon the Project or any portion thereof which, if
not paid, will become a charge on the rentals and receipts from the Project or
any portion thereof, or any interest therein, including the interest of the
Corporation, the Trustee or the Registered Owners), or the rentals and
revenues derived therefrom or under the Lease. The City will also pay as
Additional Rentals, as the same respectively become due, all gas, water,
steam, electricity, heat, power, telephone, utility and other charges incurred
in the maintenance and upkeep of the Project.
The City may, at the expense and in the name of the City, in good faith
contest any such taxes, assessments, utility and other charges and, in the
event of any such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments, utility or other
charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and
any appeal therefrom unless the Trustee notifies the City that, in the opinion
of Independent Counsel, by nonpayment of any such items the security afforded
pursuant to the Indenture will be materially endangered or the Project or any
portion thereof will be subject to loss or forfeiture, or the Corporation or
the Trustee will be subject to liability, in which event such taxes,
assessments, utility or other charges are paid forthwith as Additional Rentals
(provided, however, that such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the
right to continue to contest such taxes, assessments, utility or other
charges).
Insurance to be Maintained for the Project
Upon the completion and acceptance of the Project, the City will cause
casualty and property damage insurance to be carried and maintained with
respect to the Project or will continue its participation in the Colorado
Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency ( "CIRSA ") in an amount at least equal to
the aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then Outstanding or the
replacement cost of the Project, whichever is greater, less the amount of any
deductible clause concerning such insurance. In the event that the City fails
to insure the Project or participate in CIRSA, the Trustee will, using the
moneys available in the Insurance Account of the Expenses Fund, pay premiums
for such casualty and property damage insurance.
Upon the execution and delivery of the Lease, the City will, at its own
expense, cause public liability insurance to be carried and maintained or will
continue its participation in CIRSA with respect to the activities to be
undertaken by and on behalf of the City in connection with the use of the
Project. Such public liability insurance in connection with the Project or
participation in CIRSA must be in an amount not less than the amounts provided
in the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, article 10 of title 24, Colorado
Revised Statutes, as the same may be hereafter amended. Any public liability
insurance may be by blanket insurance policy or policies. If the City shall
insure against similar risks by self- insurance, the City, at its election, may
provide for public liability insurance with respect to the Project, partially
or wholly by means of an adequate self - insurance fund meeting the requirements
contained in the Lease.

therefrom by reason of any deductible clause) are insufficient to pay in full
the cost of any repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement
of the Project, the City may elect to proceed under any of the following
options:
(a) The City may complete the work and pay any cost in excess of
the amount of the Net Proceeds, and the City agrees that, if by reason of

the Pueblo Regional Building Authority without the consent of the Corporation,
the Trustee or any Registered Owner. Further, the Project may be subleased,
as a whole or in part, by the City without the necessity of obtaining the
consent of the Corporation, the Trustee or any Registered Owners; subject,
however, to each of the following conditions:

all times during the Original and any Renewal Terms, remain obligations
of the City, and the City must maintain its direct relationships with the

Events of Default and Remedies
Events of Default Defined Any one of the following are defined as
"Events of Default" under the Lease:

Rentals when due during the Lease Term; or
B -25
i
f
(b) Failure by the City to vacate the Project (leaving the
Equipment) by the expiration of the Original or Renewal Term during which
an Event of Nonappropriation occurs; or
(c) Failure by the City to observe and perform any covenant,
condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed, other
than as referred to in (a) or (b) for a period of 45 days after written
notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has
been given to the City by the Trustee, unless the Trustee agrees in
writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided,
however, that if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected
within the applicable period, the Trustee will not unreasonably withhold
its consent to an extension of such time if corrective action shall be
instituted by the City within the applicable period and diligently
pursued until the default is corrected.
The foregoing provisions are subject to the following limitations: (i) the
City will be obligated to pay the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals only
during the Lease Term, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease;
and (ii) if, by reason of Force Majeure the City is unable in whole or in
part to carry out any agreement on its part contained in the Lease, the City
will not be deemed in default during the continuance of such inability. The
City agrees, however, to remedy, as promptly as legally and reasonably
possible, the cause or causes preventing the City from carrying out its
agreement; provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts and other
industrial disturbances will be entirely within the discretion of the City.
Remedies on Default Whenever any Event of Default shall have happened
and be continuing, the Trustee may terminate the Lease Term and may give
notice to the City to vacate the Project (leaving the Equipment) within 15
days from the date of such notice. After the occurrence of an Event of
Default the Trustee may, without any further demand or notice, foreclose
through the courts on the Project, and exercise all the rights and remedies of
a secured party under the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the
Equipment, and take one or any combination of the following additional
remedial steps:
(a) The Trustee may lease the Project or any portion thereof for
the benefit of the Registered Owners.
(b) The Trustee may recover from the City:
(i) the portion of Base Rentals and Additional Rentals which
would otherwise have been payable under the Lease, allocable to any
period in which the City continues to occupy the Project; and
(ii) Base Rentals and Additional Rentals which would otherwise
have been payable by the City under the Lease during the remainder,
after the City vacates the Project, of the Original or Renewal Term
in which such Event of Default occurs; provided, however, that if
B-26
the Trustee does not proceed to foreclose and sell the Project
reasonably promptly after such Event of Default, the Trustee will be
obligated to the City to use its best efforts to lease or sublease
the Project for the remainder of such Original or Renewal Term and
the Net Proceeds of such leasing shall be offset against the amount
recoverable from the City under this paragraph (ii).
(c) The Trustee may take whatever action at law or in equity may
appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights in and to the Project
under the Lease and the Indenture.
Waivers The Trustee may waive any Event of Default under the Lease and
its consequences, as the Trustee deems to be in the best interests of the
Registered Owners. A waiver of an Event of Default under the Indenture will
constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default or Event of
Nonappropriation under the Lease; provided that no such waiver will extend to
or affect any subsequent or other Event of Default or Event of
Nonappropriation under the Lease or impair any right consequent thereon.

enforceable against the City, that the exclusion from gross income, for
purposes of federal income taxation, of the interest on the Certificates
and Additional Certificates theretofore issued will not be adversely
affected by the issuance of the Additional Certificates being issued, and
that the issuance, sale and delivery of the Additional Certificates will
not constitute a default under the Lease or the Indenture nor cause any
violation of the covenants, agreements or representations in the Lease or
the Indenture.
(c) Evidence that the amount of the title insurance policy or
policies and the Reserve Fund Requirement have been increased, if
necessary, to reflect the amount of the Certificates and Additional
Certificates theretofore issued plus the Additional Certificates (or such
lesser amount as shall be the maximum insurable value of the Project).

Additional Certificates to the purchaser or purchasers therein identified

amended, proportionately and ratably secured with the Certificates originally
issued and all other issues of Additional Certificates, if any, without
preference, priority or distinction of any Certificates or Additional
Certificates over any other.
Funds and Accounts
Source of Payment of Certificates The Certificates shall be payable

purposes:

interest thereon, as the same become due, to the extent of any deficiency
in either the Interest Account or the Principal Account of the
Certificate Fund for such purpose; and to the payment of any Additional
Rentals in the event the City fails to make payment thereof;
(b) At the option of the Trustee, subsequent to a Termination
Event, to the payment of any cost or expense necessary to preserve or

Owners therein, or necessary to make any repairs or modifications to the
Project in preparation for sale or subleasing thereof, as the Trustee may
deem to be in the best interests of the Registered Owners;
(c) In the event that the Certificates are to be redeemed
subsequent to a Termination Event, proportionately to the redemption of
the Certificates then Outstanding and the payment of interest thereon;

deposit in the Reserve Fund, as Additional Rentals, such amounts as are
required to restore the amount on deposit in the Reserve Fund to the Reserve
Fund Requirement, on or before December 1 of the year following such
withdrawal of moneys from the Reserve Fund.
If amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund are less than the applicable
Reserve Fund Requirement due to a decrease in the market value of the
Permitted Investments on deposit in the Reserve Fund, such deficiency shall be
made up from Additional Rentals over a period of not more than four (4)
months, in four (4) substantially equal payments.
Construction Fund The Construction Fund is a special fund created and
established with the Trustee. The balance of the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificates (net of the discount paid to the Underwriter, the amount required
B -31
to refund the 1990 Certificates, the amount required to be deposited to the
Reserve Fund and any costs of issuance) remaining after the deduction of
�} accrued interest will be deposited into the Construction Fund. Moneys held in
the Construction Fund will be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of
the Lease. The Trustee shall keep and maintain adequate records pertaining to
the Construction Fund and all disbursements therefrom as reasonably directed
by the City.
Upon receipt of the certificate indicating the completion of the Project,
the Trustee will retain in the Construction Fund a sum equal to the amount
estimated by the City Representative to be necessary for payment of the Cost
of Construction not then due and payable and the balance, if any, remaining in
the Construction Fund will be deposited in the Principal Account of the
Certificate Fund and applied to the next payment or payments of principal
portions of the Base Rentals or, at the instruction of the City, will be
deposited to the Extraordinary Redemption Fund.
Extraordinary Redemption Fund The Extraordinary Redemption Fund is a
special fund created and established with the Trustee into which will be
deposited all Extraordinary Revenues which are to be applied for the
redemption of the Certificates on the first Business Day for which notice of

Expenses Account and an Insurance Account. Income from the investment of
moneys in the Reserve Fund, if any, shall be deposited into the Expenses Fund
under the level described above has been attained. Income derived from the
investment of the Extraordinary Expenses Account will be retained in such
account to the extent the amount on deposit therein is less than $50,000, and
any remaining income will be deposited in the Interest Account of the
Certificate Fund. Income derived from the investment of the Insurance Account
will be retained in such account to the extent the amount on deposit therein
is less than $50,000, and any remaining income will be deposited in the
Interest Account of the Certificate Fund.
Moneys held in the Extraordinary Expenses Account, including income
derived from the investment thereof, will be used to reimburse the Trustee and
the Corporation, respectively, for costs, expenses, outlays, counsel fees and
other reasonable disbursements incurred by the Trustee or Corporation by
reason of any litigation pertaining to the Project in which the Trustee or the
Corporation is named as a defendant; and for any such costs, expenses,
outlays, counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements incurred by the
Trustee by reason of a Termination Event.
B -32
g

investment thereof, will be used by the Trustee, both during the Lease Term
and after a Termination Event, to maintain current payments of premiums for
the casualty and property damage insurance on the Project required by the
Lease, if and to the extent such premiums are not otherwise paid by the City.
Special Construction Fund Upon direction of the City, there will be
created and established with the Trustee the "Special Construction Fund."
Amounts deposited therein by the City may be expended solely for the purchase
of moveable personal property for use in or on the Project or for the purpose

investment instructions delivered by the City to the Trustee.

maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and (c) in the event said
Certificates are not by their terms subject to redemption within the next 60

Owner, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove
provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge such Certificate to the extent of the
sum or sums paid.
The Trustee shall require the payment, by any Registered
Owners requesting transfer or exchange of Certificates, of
any tax, trustee's fee, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such transfer.

refunding all or any of the Outstanding Certificates; (ii)
the costs of completing the acquisition, construction,
improvements and equipping of the Project (and costs
reasonably related thereto), in excess of the amount
available therefor in the Construction Fund pursuant to the
Lease and this Indenture; (iii) the costs of making at any
time or from time to time such substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements in, on or to the Project as

the amount therein to equal the Reserve Fund Requirement, and

Additional Certificates may be issued only upon there
being filed with the Trustee:

nationally recognized stature in the field of municipal
bonds and mutually acceptable to the City and the
Trustee, to the effect that the amendment to the Lease
and the authentication of the Additional Certificates
have been duly authorized, that the amendment to the
Lease is valid and enforceable against the City, that
the exclusion from gross income, for purposes of federal
income taxation, of the interest on the Certificates and
Additional Certificates theretofore issued will not be
adversely affected by the issuance of the Additional
Certificates being issued, and that the issuance, sale
and delivery of the Additional Certificates will not
constitute a default under the Lease or this Indenture
nor cause any violation of the covenants, agreements or
representations in the Lease or this Indenture.
(c) Evidence that the amount of the title
insurance policy or policies required by Section 7.4 of
the Lease and the Reserve Fund Requirement have been
increased, if necessary, to reflect the amount of the

amount as shall be the maximum insurable value of the
Project).
(d) A written order to the Trustee by the City to
deliver the Additional Certificates to the purchaser or
purchasers therein identified upon payment to the
Trustee of a specified sum plus accrued interest.
Each of the Additional Certificates issued pursuant to

interest in rights to receive Revenues under the Lease, as
amended, proportionately and ratably secured with the
Certificates originally issued and all other issues of
Additional Certificates, if any, issued pursuant to this

after the Certificates have been redeemed, such excess moneys
shall be paid to the City. Prior to any distribution of the
Net Proceeds in redemption of the Certificates pursuant to
this Section, the Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its
customary fees for all services rendered in connection with

thereof with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption, without premium, the particular Certificates to

165,000
2013
175,000
2014
190,000
2015 (Maturity)
490,000
On or before the 30th day prior to each such sinking
fund payment date, the Trustee shall proceed to select by lot
the Certificates for redemption from such sinking fund on the
next December 15, and on the 30th day prior to each sinking
fund payment date give notice of such call. At its option, to
be exercised on or before the 60th day next preceding any such
sinking fund redemption date, the City may (a) deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation Certificates subject to mandatory
sinking fund redemption as herein provided in any aggregate
principal amount desired, and (b) receive a credit in respect
of its sinking fund redemption obligation for any such
Certificates which prior to said date have been redeemed
(otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund) and
canceled by the Trustee and not theretofore applied as a
credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each
-29-
WP217102 -002/3
such Certificate so delivered or previously redeemed shall be
credited by the Trustee at the principal amount thereof on the
obligation of the City on such sinking fund redemption date,
and, to the extent of any excess, to the next annual sinking
fund redemption date or dates, and the principal amount of
Certificates to be redeemed by operation of such sinking fund
on such date or dates shall be accordingly reduced.
Section 4.04. Notice of Redemption Notice of the call
for any redemption, identifying the Certificates or portions
thereof to be redeemed and specifying the terms of such
redemption, shall be given by the Trustee, upon being
satisfactorily indemnified as to expenses, by mailing a copy
of the redemption notice, by registered or certified mail, at
least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption and to the Registered Owner of each
Certificate to be redeemed at the address shown on the
registration books; provided, however, that failure to give
such notice by mailing, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of
Certificates as to which no such failure has occurred.
Any notice mailed as provided in this Section shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the Registered Owner receives the notice.
If at the time of mailing of notice of redemption there
shall not have been deposited with the Trustee moneys
sufficient to redeem all the Certificates called for
redemption, which moneys are or will be available for
redemption of Certificates, such notice will state that it is
conditional upon the deposit of the redemption moneys with the
Trustee not later than the opening of business on the
redemption date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless
such moneys are so deposited.
Section 4.05. Redemption Payments Prior to the date
fixed for redemption, funds shall be deposited with the
Trustee to pay, and the Trustee is hereby authorized and
directed to apply such funds to the payment of, the
Certificates called, together with accrued interest thereon to
the redemption date, and any required premium. Upon the
giving of notice and the deposit of such funds as may be
available for redemption pursuant to this Indenture (which, in
the case of redemption pursuant to Section 4.02 above, may be
less than the full principal amount of the Outstanding
Certificates and accrued interest thereon to the redemption
date), interest on the Certificates or portions thereof thus
called shall no longer accrue after the date fixed for
redemption.
-30-
WP217102 -002/3
The Trustee shall pay to the Registered Owners of
Certificates so redeemed, the amounts due on their respective
Certificates, at the principal corporate trust office of the
Trustee upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates;
provided, however, that, if redeemed in part, the Certificates
may be redeemed only in multiples of $5,000. Redemption
payments shall be accompanied by a written designation
prepared by the Trustee stating the portion of the payment
representing the unpaid principal amount of the Certificate
immediately prior to the payment, the portion of the payment
representing interest, and the remaining portion, if any,
which shall be designated and paid as a redemption premium.
Section 4.06. Cancellation All Certificates which
have been redeemed shall not be reissued but shall be canceled
and cremated or otherwise destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 2.10 hereof.
Section 4.07. Delivery of New Certificates Upon Partial
Redemption of Certificates Upon surrender and cancellation
of the Certificates for redemption in part only, a new
Certificate or Certificates of the same maturity and of
authorized denomination in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof, shall be executed on behalf
of and delivered by the Trustee. The expenses of such
execution, delivery and exchange shall be paid by the City as
Additional Rentals under the Lease.
ARTICLE V
INVESTMENTS
Section 5.01. Investment of Moneys All moneys held as
part of the Certificate Fund, the Construction Fund, the
Reserve Fund, the Extraordinary Redemption Fund, the Expenses
Fund or any other fund or account created hereunder or under
the Lease shall be deposited or invested and reinvested by the
Trustee, at the direction of the City, in Permitted
Investments; provided, however, that the Trustee shall make no
deposits or investments of any fund or account created
hereunder which shall interfere with or prevent withdrawals
for payment of the Cost of Construction or for payment of the
Certificates at or before maturity or interest thereon as
required hereunder; and provided further, however, that all
amounts representing accrued and capitalized interest on the
Certificates shall be held by the Trustee in the Certificate
Fund, pledged solely to the payment of interest on the
Certificates, and invested only in Permitted Investments
described in subparagraphs (a) and (g), as such term is
defined in Article I of this Indenture. If the amount on
-31-
WP217102 -002/3
deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be less than the Reserve
Fund Requirement, the City shall pay the amount of such
deficiency to the Trustee as an Additional Rental as set forth
in the Lease and, upon receipt, the Trustee shall deposit such
payment in the Reserve Fund. All investments and
reinvestments of any amounts pursuant to this Indenture or the
Lease shall be made in compliance with the requirements of the
No Arbitrage Certificate executed by the City in connection
with the issuance of the Certificates, unless the Trustee
shall receive an opinion of nationally recognized municipal
bond counsel acceptable to the City and the Trustee to the
effect that an alternate investment or reinvestment shall not
adversely affect the exclusion from gross income or
alternative minimum taxable income, for purposes of federal
income taxation, of interest on the Certificates, in which
case such investment or reinvestment shall be made in
accordance with such opinion. Any and all such deposits or
investments shall be held by or under the control of the
Trustee.
The Trustee may make any and all such deposits or
investments through its own investment department or the
investment department of any bank or trust company under
common control with the Trustee. The Trustee is specifically
authorized to enter into agreements with itself or any other
person, which agreements guarantee the repurchase of specific
Permitted Investments at specific prices and provided that
such Permitted Investments are held by a third party during
the term thereof. Income from deposits or investments of
moneys in the Reserve Fund shall be deposited in the Expenses
Fund or the Certificate Fund under certain circumstances as
provided in Section 3.08 of this Indenture; income from
deposits or investments of moneys in the Extraordinary
Redemption Fund shall be deposited into the Certificate Fund,
as provided in Section 3.11 of this Indenture; and income from
deposits or investments of moneys in each account of the
Expenses Fund shall be deposited into the Certificate Fund
under certain circumstances as provided in Section 3.12 of
this Indenture; otherwise, deposits or investments shall at
all times be a part of the fund or account from which the
moneys used to acquire such deposits or investments shall have
come, and all income and profits on such deposits or
investments shall be credited to, and losses thereon shall be
charged against, such fund or account. In computing the
amount in any fund or account held under the provisions of
this Indenture, obligations purchased as a deposit or
investment of moneys therein shall be valued at the cost or
market price thereof, whichever is lower, exclusive of accrued
interest. With respect to all funds and accounts, valuation
shall occur annually, except in the event of a withdrawal from
-32-
WP217102 -002/3
the Reserve Fund, whereupon obligations therein shall be
valued immediately after such withdrawal. The Trustee shall
sell and reduce to cash a sufficient amount of such deposits
or investments whenever the cash balance in any fund or
account created hereunder is insufficient to satisfy the
purposes of such fund or account.
Section 5.02. Arbitrage Certification In reliance on
the direction of investments by the City as provided in
Section 5.01 of this Indenture, and in reliance on the
covenants of the City in Section 11.7 of the Lease, the
Trustee certifies and covenants to and for the benefit of the
Registered Owners that so long as any of the Certificates
remain outstanding, moneys in any fund or account held by the
Trustee under this Indenture, whether or not such moneys were
derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Certificates or
from any other source, will not be knowingly deposited or
invested in a manner which will cause the Certificates to be
classified as ''arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section
148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
ARTICLE VI
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
If, when the Certificates secured hereby shall become
due and payable in accordance with their terms or otherwise as
provided in this Indenture, the whole amount of the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest due and payable upon all of
the Certificates shall be paid (or, in the case of redemption
of the Certificates pursuant to Section 4.01(d) of this
Indenture, if full or partial payment of the Certificates and
interest thereon is made as provided in Section 4.02 of this
Indenture), or provision shall have been made for the payment
of the same, together with all other sums payable hereunder,
then the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to
the Trust Estate and all covenants, agreements and other
obligations of the Corporation and the City to the Trustee and
the Registered Owners shall thereupon cease, terminate and
become void and be discharged and satisfied. In such event,
upon the request of the City, the Trustee and the Corporation
shall transfer and convey to the City all property assigned,
pledged or mortgaged to the Trustee by the Corporation then
held by the Corporation or by the Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture, and the Corporation and the Trustee shall execute
such documents as may be reasonably required by the City and
shall turn over to the City any surplus in any fund created
under this Indenture except the Rebate Fund.
-33-
WP217102 -002/3
All outstanding Certificates shall, prior to the
maturity or redemption date thereof, be deemed to have been
paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in this
Article VI if (a) in case said Certificates are to be redeemed
on any date prior to their maturity, the City shall have given
to the Trustee in form satisfactory to the Trustee irrevocable
instructions to give, on a date in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.04 hereof, notice of redemption of
such Certificates on said redemption date, such notice to be
given in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04
hereof, (b) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee
either moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, or
Federal Securities which shall not contain provisions
permitting the redemption thereof at the option of the issuer,
the principal of and the interest on which when due, and
without any reinvestment thereof, will provide moneys which,
together with the moneys, if any, deposited with or held by
the Trustee at the same time, shall be sufficient to pay when
due the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due and to
become due on said Certificates on and prior to the redemption
date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be, and (c) in
the event said Certificates are not by their terms subject to
redemption within the next 60 days, the City shall have given
the Trustee in form satisfactory to it irrevocable
instructions to give, as soon as practicable in the same
manner as the notice of redemption is given pursuant to
Section 4.04 hereof, a notice to the Registered Owners of such
Certificates that the deposit required by (b) above has been
made with the Trustee and that said Certificates are deemed to
have been paid in accordance with this Section and stating
such maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be
available for the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on said Certificates. Neither the Federal
Securities nor moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
this Section or principal or interest payments on any such
Federal Securities shall be withdrawn or used for any purpose
other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on said
Certificates; provided any cash received from such principal
or interest payments on such Federal Securities deposited with
the Trustee, if not then needed for such purpose, shall, to
the extent practicable, be reinvested in Federal Securities of
the type described in clause (b) of this paragraph maturing at
the times and in amounts sufficient to pay when due the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest to become due on
said Certificates on or prior to such redemption date or
maturity date thereof, as the case may be. At such time as
any Certificates shall be deemed paid as aforesaid, such
Certificates shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and the Lease, except for the
purpose of exchange and transfer and any payment from such
moneys or Federal Securities deposited with the Trustee.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 7.01. Events of Default If any of the

become entitled to possession of the Project, and shall give
notice to the City to vacate the Project (leaving the
Equipment) as provided in Sections 6.6 and 14.2 of the Lease,

in Section 7.03 of this Indenture, shall, without any further
demand or notice, take one or any combination of the following
additional remedial steps:
(a) In the event that the Trustee deems a delay in

Project or any portion thereof for the benefit of the
Registered Owners.
(b) The Trustee, on behalf of the Corporation, may
recover from the City:
(i) the portion of Base Rentals and

reasonably promptly after such Event of Default,
the Trustee shall be obligated to the City to use
its best efforts to lease the Project for the
remainder of such Original or Renewal Term, as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 7.02, and
the Net Proceeds of such leasing shall be offset
against the amount recoverable from the City under
this paragraph (ii).
(c) The Trustee may take whatever action at law or

remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute. However, notwithstanding any other
provision of the Lease or this Indenture, any and all remedies
against the City under the Lease or this Indenture shall be
limited as provided in Section 14.3 of the Lease.

shall deem most expedient in the interests of the Registered
Owners.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and upon the
filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings
to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Registered
Owners under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as
a matter of right, forthwith, to the appointment, ex parte,
of a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate and of the
revenues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof,
pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making
such appointment shall confer. The Corporation hereby
expressly waives any right to notice or a hearing and, if
requested to do so by the Trustee, will consent to the
appointment of any receiver as aforesaid. The Trustee may be
appointed as such receiver.

Section 7.03. Majority of Registered Owners May Control
Proceedings Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Registered Owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Certificates then
Outstanding, shall have the right, at any time, to the extent
permitted by law, by an instrument or instruments in writing
executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time,
method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in
connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, and any
other proceedings hereunder; provided that such direction
shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions
hereof. The Trustee shall not be required to act on any
direction given to it pursuant to this Section until the
indemnity described in Section 8.01(m) of this Indenture is
furnished to it by such Registered Owners.
Section 7.04. Rights and Remedies of Registered
Owners No Registered Owner shall have any right to institute
any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the
enforcement of this Indenture or for the execution of any
trust hereof or for the appointment of a receiver or any other

the Trustee has been notified as provided in Section 8.01(h)
hereof, or of which by said Section it is deemed to have
notice; (b) such default shall have become an Event of Default
as defined in Section 7.01 of this Indenture; (c) the
Registered Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Certificates then Outstanding shall have
made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered
reasonable opportunity either to proceed to exercise the
powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such action, suit
or proceedings in its own name; (d) such Registered Owners
shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity as provided in
Section 8.01(m) hereof; and (e) the Trustee shall thereafter
fail or refuse to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted, or

name. The foregoing conditions are hereby declared in every
case to be conditions precedent to the execution of the powers
and trusts of this Indenture, and to any action or cause of
action for the enforcement of this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder;
it being understood and intended that no one or more
Registered Owners shall have any right in any manner
whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this
Indenture by any action or to enforce any right hereunder
except in the manner herein provided and that all proceedings
at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in
the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of the

or Trustee; Application of Certificates Toward Purchase
Price Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this
Indenture, the lien on the Project created and vested in the
Trustee hereunder may be foreclosed either by sale at public
auction or by proceedings in equity. Upon any such sale, any
Registered Owner or the Trustee may bid for and purchase the
Project and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold,
retain and possess and dispose of such property in their own
absolute right without further accountability; and any
purchaser at any such sale may, if permitted by law, after
allowing for the proportion of the total purchase price
required to be paid in cash for the costs and expenses of the
sale, compensation and other charges, in paying purchase
money, turn in all Certificates then outstanding in lieu of
cash, to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the Net
Proceeds of such sale, be payable thereon. If the Trustee
shall acquire title to the Project as a result of any such
foreclosure sale, or any proceeding or transaction in lieu of
foreclosure, the Trustee shall thereafter sell the Project
(except as provided in paragraph (a) of Section 7.02 of this
Indenture); and may take any further lawful action with
respect to the Project which it, being advised by counsel and
shall deem to be in the best interest of the Registered
Owners, including but not limited to the enforcement of all
rights and remedies set forth in the Lease and this Indenture
and the taking of all other courses of action permitted
therein or herein.
Section 7.06. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay
and Extension The Corporation agrees, to the extent
permitted by law, that in case of the occurrence of an Event
of Default, neither the Corporation nor anyone claiming
through or under the Corporation shall or will set up, claim
or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay
or extension laws now or hereafter in force in order to
prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this
Indenture, or the absolute sale of the Trust Estate, or the
final and absolute putting into possession thereof,
immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat; and
the Corporation, for itself and all who may at any time claim
through or under the Corporation, hereby waives, to the full
extent that it may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such
laws, and any and all right to have the estates comprised in
the security intended to be hereby created and marshalled upon
-38-
WP217102 -002/3
any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that the Trustee
or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may
sell the Project as an entirety; provided, however, that

through or under the Corporation, shall retain all rights of
redemption.
Section 7.07. Trustee May Enforce Rights Without
Certificates All rights of action and claims under this
Indenture or any of the Certificates outstanding hereunder may
be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of
the Certificates or the production thereof in any trial or
proceedings relative thereto; and any suit or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as the
Trustee, without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or
defendants any Registered Owners of the Certificates, and any
recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the
Registered Owners of the Certificates, subject to the
provisions of this Indenture.
Section 7.08. Delay or Omission No Waiver No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Registered Owner to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall
exhaust or impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence
therein; and every power and remedy given by this Indenture
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient.
Section 7.09. No Waiver of One Default to Affect
Another No waiver of any default hereunder, whether by the
Trustee or the Registered Owners, shall extend to or affect
any subsequent or any other then existing default or shall
impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.
Section 7.10. Discontinuance of Proceedings on Default;
Position of Parties Restored In case the Trustee or the
Registered Owners shall have proceeded to enforce any right
under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee or the Registered Owners,
then and in every such case the Corporation, the City, the
Trustee and the Registered Owners shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Trust Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Trustee and the Registered Owners shall continue as if no
such proceedings had been taken.
Section 7.11. Waivers of Events of Default The Trustee
may in its discretion waive any Event of Default hereunder,
and notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in
WP217102 -002/3
-39-
this Indenture shall do so upon the written request of the
Registered Owners of two - thirds in aggregate principal amount
of all the Certificates then Outstanding; provided, however,
that there shall not be waived without the consent of the
Registered Owners of 100% of the Certificates then Outstanding
as to which the Event of Default exists (a) any Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of or premium on any
outstanding Certificates at the date of maturity specified
therein or (b) any default in the payment when due of the
interest on any such Certificates, unless prior to such waiver
or rescission, all arrears of interest and all arrears of
payments of principal and premium, if any, then due, as the
case may be, and all expenses of the Trustee in connection
with such default shall have been paid or provided for. In
case of any such waiver, or in case any proceedings taken by
the Trustee on account of any such default shall have been
discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely to the
Trustee, then and in every such case the Corporation, the
City, the Trustee and the Registered Owners shall be restored
to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively,
but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to any
subsequent or other default, or impair any right consequent
thereon.

the Lease). In the event that the City shall pay the
Purchase Option Price, the proceeds thereof are required to
be used to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined

exercise of its rights under the Indenture. Upon the
occurrence of a Termination Event, the Trustee may commence
proceedings for leasing the Project or the sale or assignment

Indenture, and may call the Certificates for redemption from
the Net Proceeds of such leasing, sale or assignment of the
Project and all other moneys, if any, then on hand and being
held by the Trustee for the registered owners of the
Certificates, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, at
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to
the redemption date. In the event that such Net Proceeds and
other moneys are insufficient to redeem the Certificates at
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to
the redemption date, such Net Proceeds and other moneys shall
be allocated proportionately among the Certificates,
according to the principal amount thereof outstanding. In
the event that such Net Proceeds and other moneys are in
excess of the amount required to redeem the Certificates at
100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to
the redemption date, then shall be paid to the City. Prior
to any distribution of such Net Proceeds in redemption of the
Certificates, the Trustee shall be entitled to payment of its
customary fees for all services rendered in connection with
such liquidation, as well as reimbursement for all costs and
expenses incurred thereby from the proceeds of such
A -9
WP217102 -002/3
foreclosure and sale. A REGISTERED OWNER OF THE CERTIFICATES
SHOULD NOT ANTICIPATE THAT IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO FORECLOSE
ON AND SELL THE PROJECT FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE AGGREGATE
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE CERTIFICATES THEN OUTSTANDING PLUS
ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON. IF THE CERTIFICATES ARE REDEEMED
SUBSEQUENT TO THE OCCURRENCE OF A TERMINATION EVENT FOR AN
AMOUNT LESS THAN THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT THEREOF PLUS
ACCRUED INTEREST TO THE REDEMPTION DATE, NO REGISTERED OWNER
OF ANY CERTIFICATE SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER CLAIM FOR PAYMENT
AGAINST THE CITY, THE CORPORATION OR THE TRUSTEE.
In the event any of the Certificates are called for
redemption as aforesaid, the Trustee shall cause notice of
the call for redemption, identifying the Certificates or
portions thereof to be redeemed, to be given by mailing, at
least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the
redemption date, as provided in the Indenture. All
Certificates so called for redemption shall cease to bear
interest after the specified redemption date, provided that
such funds as may be available for their redemption pursuant
to the Lease (which, in the case of a Termination Event, as
defined in the Indenture, may be less than the full principal
amount of the outstanding Certificates and accrued interest
thereon to the redemption date) are on deposit at the place
of payment at that time.
The Trustee shall pay to the registered owners of
Certificates to be redeemed, or their representatives duly
authorized in writing, the amounts due on their respective
Certificates at the principal corporate trust office of the
Trustee; provided, however, that, if redeemed in part, the
Certificates may only be redeemed in multiples of $5,000.
Redemption payments shall be accompanied by a written
designation prepared by the Trustee stating the portion of
the payment representing the unpaid principal amount of each
Certificate immediately prior to the payment, the portion
representing interest and the remaining portion, if any,
which shall be designated and paid as a redemption premium.
The Trustee may waive an Event of Nonappropriation or an
Event of Default under certain circumstances as provided in
the Lease and the Indenture.
The Indenture permits amendments thereto and to the
Lease, upon the agreement of the City and the Trustee and
compliance with the other requirements of the Indenture,
including but not limited to, in certain cases the approval
of the registered owners of not less than two - thirds or, for
certain amendments, 100% in aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates at the time outstanding, as defined in the
A -10
WP217102 -00213

City and the Trustee to enter into amendments to the
Indenture and the Lease without the consent of the registered
owners of the Certificates for certain purposes, including,
without limitation, the issuance of Additional Certificates
for certain purposes. The Indenture requires the written
consent of the Trustee to any amendment of the Indenture or
the Lease which modifies the rights, duties or immunities of
the Trustee.
Any consent or request by the Registered Owner of this
certificate shall be conclusive and binding upon such owner
and upon all future registered owners of this certificate and
of any Certificate issued upon the transfer of this
certificate whether or not notation of such consent or
request is made upon this certificate.
This Certificate is issued with the intent that the laws
of the State of Colorado shall govern its legality, validity,
enforceability and construction.

The option of the City to renew or not to renew this
Lease shall be conclusively determined by whether or not the
City Council has, on or before the December 31 immediately
preceding the commencement of any Renewal Term, budgeted and
appropriated, specifically with respect to this Lease, moneys
sufficient to pay all the Base Rentals and reasonably
estimated Additional Rentals for such ensuing Renewal Term,
all as further provided in Section 6.6 of this Lease.
It is the intention of the City Council that the
decision to renew or not to renew this Lease shall be made
solely by the City Council and not by any other City officer,
and the City Manager of the City (or any other officer at any
time charged with the responsibility of formulating budget
proposals) is hereby directed to include in the budget
proposals submitted to the City Council, in any year in which
this Lease shall be in effect, items for all payments
required for the ensuing Renewal Term under this Lease. The
City shall in any event, whether or not this Lease is to be
renewed, furnish the Trustee, the Corporation and the
Original Purchaser with copies of its annual budget promptly
after the budget is adopted.
The terms and conditions during any Renewal Term shall
be the same as the terms and conditions during the Original
Term, except that the Base Rentals shall be as provided in
Exhibit B to this Lease.
Section 4.2. Termination of Lease Term The Lease Term
shall terminate upon the earliest of any of the following
events:
(a) The expiration of the Original Term or any
Renewal Term during which there occurs an Event of
Nonappropriation (which is not thereafter waived)
pursuant to Article VI of this Lease;
(b) The purchase by the City of the Project as

conferring rights upon the Registered Owners to payments
of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Certificates solely from moneys or Federal Securities
deposited in accordance with the Indenture);
(d) An Event of Default and termination of the
Lease Term by the Trustee under Article XIV of this
Lease;
(e) The election of the City to terminate the
Lease Term pursuant to Section 10.3(b) of this Lease; or
(f) December 15, 2012, which date constitutes the
last day of the final Renewal Term of this Lease, or
such later date as all Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals required hereunder shall be paid, with the
effect that the Certificates shall be paid or deemed
paid pursuant to Article VI of the Indenture.
Termination of the Lease Term shall terminate all
unaccrued obligations of the City under this Lease (except
for the application of Section 14.2(b)(i) hereof, in the
event the City holds over), and shall terminate the rights of
the City to possession of the Project under this Lease
(except to the extent of any conveyance pursuant to Article
XII of this Lease); but all other provisions of this Lease,
including all obligations of the City hereunder accrued prior
to such termination, and all obligations of the Trustee with
respect to the Registered Owners and the receipt and
disbursement of funds, shall be continuing until the
Indenture is discharged as provided in Article VI of the
Indenture (subject to the proviso of (c) above, if
applicable).
ARTICLE V
ENJOYMENT OF PROJECT
The Corporation hereby covenants that the City shall
during the Lease Term peaceably and quietly have and hold and
enjoy the Project without suit, trouble or hindrance from the
Corporation, except as expressly required or permitted by
this Lease or the Indenture. The Corporation shall not
interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the Project by
the City during the Lease Term, so long as the Lease Term
shall be in effect. The Corporation shall, at the request of
the City and at the cost of the City, join and cooperate
fully in any legal action in which the City asserts its right
-17-
WP217102 -002/2
to such possession and enjoyment, or which involves the
imposition of any taxes or other governmental charges on or
in connection with the Project. In addition, the City may at
its own expense join in any legal action affecting its
possession and enjoyment of the Project, and shall be joined
(to the extent legally possible, and at the expense of the
City) in any action affecting its liabilities hereunder.
The provisions of this Article V shall be subject to the
right of the Trustee to inspect the Project as provided in
Section 10.03 of the Indenture, and to the right of the
Trustee to complete construction of the Project under certain
circumstances as provided in Section 7.1 of this Lease. The
City also hereby consents to the provisions of Section 10.03

in the City, subject to the rights of the Corporation and
the Trustee under this Lease and the Indenture.
ARTICLE VI
PAYMENTS BY THE CITY
Section 6.1. Payments to Constitute Currently Budgeted
Expenditures of the City The City and the Corporation
acknowledge and agree that the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals hereunder shall constitute currently budgeted
expenditures of the City. The obligations of the City under
this Lease shall be from year to year only (as further
provided in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.2 and 6.6 hereof), and shall
not constitute a mandatory payment obligation of the City in
any fiscal year beyond a fiscal year during which this Lease
shall be in effect.
No provision of this Lease shall be construed or
interpreted as creating a general obligation or other
indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional, statutory or Charter debt limitation. No
provision of this Lease shall be construed or interpreted as
creating a delegation of governmental powers nor as a
donation by or a lending of the credit of the City within the
meaning of Section 1 or 2 of Article XI of the Constitution
of the State. Neither this Lease nor the issuance of the
Certificates shall directly or indirectly obligate the City
to make any payments beyond those appropriated for any fiscal
year in which this Lease shall be in effect. The City shall
be under no obligation to exercise its option to purchase the
Project. No provision of this Lease shall be construed to
-18-
WP217102 -002/2
pledge or to create a lien on any class or source of City
moneys, nor shall any provision of this Lease restrict the
future issuance of any City bonds or obligations payable from
any class or source of City moneys (provided, however, that
the restrictions of Section 2.11 of the Indenture shall apply
to the issuance of Additional Certificates).
Section 6.2. Base Rentals and Additional Rentals The
City shall pay Base Rentals directly to the Trustee for
distribution to the Registered Owners in accordance with the
Indenture during the Lease Term on the due dates set forth in
Exhibit B to this Lease. The Base Rentals during the
Original Term and any Renewal Terms shall be in the amounts
in the "Total Base Rentals" column, as set forth in Exhibit B
to this Lease. There shall be credited against the amount of
Base Rentals otherwise payable hereunder all amounts at the
time on deposit in the Certificate Fund and available for
such payments to Registered Owners. The initial Base Rentals
to be paid by the City on May 31, 1993 shall be partially in
consideration for the use of the Project by the City from
July 1, 1992 until and including December 31, 1992.
Thereafter, Base Rentals due on any May 31 shall be in
consideration for the use of the Project by the City from the
immediately preceding January 1 to and including the
immediately following June 30; and Base Rentals due on any
November 30 shall be in consideration for the use of the
Project by the City from the immediately preceding July 1 to
and including the immediately following December 31.
In the event of any partial redemption of Certificates
prior to maturity or upon the issuance of Additional
Certificates, the Base Rentals shall be recalculated by the
Trustee, so that the Base Rentals payable on May 31 and
November 30 shall be equal to the amount necessary to pay
the principal of and interest on the Certificates coming due
on the next June 15 or December 15, as the case may be.
The City shall pay Additional Rentals during the Lease
Term as herein provided. The Additional Rentals during the
Lease Term shall be in an amount sufficient to pay the fees
and expenses of the Trustee, payments for the cost of taxes,
insurance premiums, utility charges, maintenance and repair
costs, and all other expenses expressly required to be paid
hereunder or under the Indenture, including but not limited
to costs and expenses charged to or incurred by the
Corporation at the request of the City and in its capacity as
lessor hereunder, as well as for payments into the Reserve
Fund or the Rebate Fund required by the Indenture. All
Additional Rentals shall be paid by the City on a timely
basis directly to the Person or entity to which such
Additional Rentals are owed (except that payments into the
Reserve Fund and the Rebate Fund shall be made to the Trustee
-19-
WP217102 -002/2
as provided in the Indenture). If the estimates of the City
of Additional Rentals for any Renewal Term are not itemized
in the budget required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Corporation and the Original Purchaser under Section 4.1 of
this Lease, the City shall furnish an itemization of such
estimated Additional Rentals to the Trustee, the Corporation
and the Original Purchaser on or before the December 15
preceding such Renewal Term.
Section 6.3. Interest Component A portion of each
payment of Base Rentals is paid as, and represents payment
of, interest, and Exhibit B attached hereto, as it may be
amended hereunder, sets forth the interest component of each
payment of Base Rentals.
Section 6.4. Manner of Payment The Base Rentals and,
if paid, the Purchase Option Price, shall be paid in lawful
moneys of the United States of America to the Trustee at its
principal corporate trust office. The obligation of the City
to pay the appropriated Base Rentals and Additional Rentals
required under this Article VI and other sections hereof,
during the Lease Term, shall be absolute and unconditional,
and payment of the appropriated Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals shall not be abated through accident or unforeseen
circumstances. Notwithstanding any dispute between the City
and the Corporation, the Trustee, any Registered Owner, any
contractor or subcontractor retained with respect to the
Project, any supplier of labor or materials in connection
therewith, or any other person, the City shall, during the
Lease Term, make all payments of appropriated Base Rentals
and Additional Rentals when due and shall not withhold any
appropriated Base Rentals or Additional Rentals pending final
resolution of such dispute (except to the extent permitted by
Sections 8.2 and 9.4 hereof with respect to certain
Additional Rentals), nor shall the City assert any right of
set -off, abatement or counterclaim against its obligation to
make such payments required hereunder. No action or inaction
on the part of the Corporation or the Trustee shall affect
the City's obligation to pay all appropriated Base Rentals
and Additional Rentals (except to the extent provided by
Sections 8.2 and 9.4 hereof with respect to certain
Additional Rentals), during the Lease Term.
Section 6.5 Expression of the City's Need for the
Project; Determinations as to Fair Market Value and Fair
Purchase Price The City hereby declares its current need
for the Project. It is hereby declared to be the present
intention and expectation of the City Council that this Lease
will be renewed annually until title to the Project is
acquired by the City pursuant to this Lease; but this
declaration shall not be construed as contractually
-20-
WP217102 -002/2
obligating or otherwise binding the City or the City
Council. The City and the Corporation hereby agree and
determine that the Base Rentals hereunder during the Original
Term and any Renewal Term represent the fair value of the use
of the Project; and that the Purchase Option Price represents
the fair purchase price of the Project. The City hereby
determines that the Base Rentals do not exceed a reasonable
amount so as to place the City under an economic or practical
compulsion to renew this Lease or to exercise its option to
purchase the Project hereunder. In making such
determinations, the City and the Corporation have given
consideration to the Cost of Construction, the value of the
Project, the uses and purposes for which the Project will be
employed by the City, the benefit to the City by reason of
the construction, acquisition, improvement and equipping of
the Project and the use and occupancy of the Project pursuant
to the terms and provisions of this Lease, the option of the
City to purchase the Project, and the expected eventual
vesting of title to the Project in the City. The City hereby
determines and declares that the construction, acquisition,
improvement and equipping of the Project and the leasing of
the Project pursuant to this Lease will result in a facility
of comparable quality and meeting the same requirements and
standards as would be necessary if the construction,
acquisition, improvement and equipping of the Project were
performed by the City other than pursuant to this Lease. The
City hereby determines and declares that the period during
which the City has an option to purchase the Project (i.e.,
the maximum term of this Lease including all Renewal Terms)
does not exceed the useful life of the Project.
Section 6.6. Nonappropriation In the event that the
City Council shall not budget and appropriate, specifically
with respect to this Lease, on or before December 31 of each
year, moneys sufficient to pay all Base Rentals and the
reasonably estimated Additional Rentals coming due for the
next ensuing Renewal Term, an Event of Nonappropriation shall
be deemed to have occurred (provided, however, that the
Trustee shall declare an Event of Nonappropriation on any
earlier date on which the Trustee receives written notice
from the City that this Lease will not be renewed; and
provided further that the Trustee may waive any Event of
Nonappropriation which is cured by the City within a
reasonable time if in the judgment of the Trustee such waiver
is in the best interests of the Registered Owners). In the
event that during the Original Term or any Renewal Term, any
Additional Rentals shall become due which were not included
in the current budget of the City, or which exceed the
amounts which were included therefor in the current budget of
the City, and if there are no moneys available to pay such
Additional Rentals pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture,
-21-
WP217102 -002/2
then, in the event that moneys are not specifically budgeted
and appropriated to pay such Additional Rentals within 90
days subsequent to the date upon which such Additional
Rentals are due, an Event of Nonappropriation shall be deemed
to have occurred, upon notice by the Trustee to the City to
such effect (subject to waiver by the Trustee as hereinbefore
provided).
If an Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the City shall
not be obligated to make payment of the Base Rentals or
Additional Rentals or any other payments provided for herein
which accrue after the last day of the Original or Renewal
Term during which such Event of Nonappropriation occurs;
provided, however, that, subject to the limitations of
Section 14.3 hereof, the City shall continue to be liable for
Base Rentals and Additional Rentals allocable to any period
during which the City shall continue to occupy the Project.
The City shall in all events vacate the Project (leaving
the Equipment) by the expiration of the Original or Renewal
Term during which an Event of Nonappropriation occurs. The
City and the Corporation hereby acknowledge and agree that
any termination of this Lease, whether pursuant to this
Section 6.6, Section 10.3(b), or Section 14.2 hereof, and
except by reason of the payment of the Purchase Option Price,
shall terminate the City's rights as to the Project.
The Trustee, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Nonappropriation, shall be entitled to all moneys then on
hand and being held in all funds created under the Indenture,
including the Certificate Fund, the Construction Fund, the
Reserve Fund and the Expenses Fund, but excluding the Rebate
Fund, for the benefit of the Registered Owners. After the
expiration of the Original or Renewal Term during which an
Event of Nonappropriation occurs, the Trustee may proceed to
foreclose on and sell, lease or assign its interest in the
Project or any portion thereof and exercise the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Colorado Uniform
Commercial Code with respect to the Equipment, as provided in
Sections 7.02 and 7.05 of the Indenture, or take one or any
combination of the steps described in paragraphs (a), (b) and
(c) of Section 14.2 of this Lease. All property, funds and
rights acquired by the Trustee by reason of any Event of
Nonappropriation as provided herein, less any moneys due and
owing to the Trustee, shall be held by the Trustee for the
benefit of the Registered Owners as set forth in the
Indenture.
Section 6.7. Disposition of Base Rentals Upon receipt
by the Trustee of each payment of Base Rentals, the Trustee
shall apply the amount of such Base Rentals in the following
manner and order:
WP217102 -002/2
-22-
FIRST, the amount of such payment of Base Rentals
designated and paid as interest under Exhibit B, plus
the amount of any past due interest on the Certificates,
shall be deposited in the Interest Account of the
Certificate Fund.
SECOND, the remaining portion of such payment of
Base Rentals shall be deposited in the Principal Account
of the Certificate Fund.
ARTICLE VII
CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT
Section 7.1. Agreement to Construct Project The City
shall cause the Project to be acquired, constructed, improved
and equipped as herein provided, on behalf of the Corporation
as holder of title to the Project. Title to the Project or
interests therein, buildings or other property which is
purchased or financed from moneys deposited in the
Construction Fund shall be held by the Corporation, subject
only to this Lease and the Indenture and other Permitted
Encumbrances.
The City hereby agrees that in order to effectuate the
purposes of this Lease it will make, execute, acknowledge and
transmit any and all contracts, orders, receipts, writings
and instructions with any other persons, firms or
corporations and in general do all things which may be
necessary or proper, all for the construction, acquisition,
improvement and equipping of the Project, on behalf of the
Corporation as owner of the Project. Construction,
acquisition, improvement and equipping of the Project shall
be in accordance with the Project Documents, subject to
reasonable change orders or any other reasonable changes
approved by the City. So long as this Lease is in full force
and effect and no Event of Nonappropriation or Event of
Default shall have occurred, the City shall have full power
to carry out the acts and agreements provided in this Section
7.1, and such power is granted and conferred under this Lease
to the City, and is accepted by the City, and shall not be
terminated or restricted by act of the Corporation, the
Trustee or the City, except as provided in this Section 7.1.
The City agrees to acquire, construct, improve and equip
the Project on behalf of the Corporation as owner of the
Project, through the application of moneys to be disbursed
from the Construction Fund pursuant to Section 7.2 of this
Lease and Section 3.09 of the Indenture by the Trustee at the
direction of the City. In the event that the Project shall
not have been substantially completed, as evidenced by the
-23-
WP217102 -002/2
certificate provided for in Section 7.3 of this Lease, by
October 1, 1994, the Trustee shall, upon 30 days written
notice to the City, be authorized, but not required, to
complete the Project, without any direction by the City, from
any moneys remaining in the Construction Fund.
The City represents that, based upon an examination of
information presented to the City, including but not limited
to estimated construction and equipment costs, the Project
can be constructed, acquired, improved and equipped for a
total price within the total amount of funds to be initially
deposited therefor in the Construction Fund, plus investment
income from the investment and reinvestment of amounts on
deposit in the Construction Fund. In the event of cost
overruns and if no Event of Termination has occurred, the
City shall select any one or a combination of the following
options:
(a) the City shall require the architect or
engineer for the Project to modify the plans and
specifications or redesign the Project as may be
necessary in order to bring the Cost of Construction for
the Project within the amount available therefor in the
Construction Fund; or
(b) the City shall deposit additional amounts in a
Special Construction Fund to be established with the
Trustee; provided, however, that amounts so deposited by
the City may be expended solely for the purchase of
moveable personal property or for the purpose of paying
any other expense related to the leasehold estate of the
City which, in the opinion of nationally- recognized
municipal bond counsel, shall not adversely affect the
validity and enforceability of this Lease; or
(c) the City shall cause Additional Certificates
to be issued in accordance with Section 2.11 of the
Indenture in an amount sufficient to pay the additional
Cost of Construction for the Project; and
the City agrees that, upon exercising any such options, the
City shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from
the Corporation, the Trustee or the Registered Owners, nor
shall the City be entitled to any diminution of the Base
Rentals and Additional Rentals payable under Section 6.2 of
this Lease.
Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or otherwise
upon termination of the City's right to direct the
acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of the
Project, the Trustee may complete the Project, utilizing any
moneys remaining in the Construction Fund.
-24-
WP217102 -002/2
Section 7.2. Disbursements From the Construction Fund
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Trustee shall issue its checks
or drafts for each disbursement to pay Costs of Construction
provided for herein. So long as no Event of Nonappropriation
or Event of Default shall occur, and so long as the right of
the City to direct the acquisition, construction, improvement
and equipping of the Project has not otherwise been
terminated pursuant to the last sentence of Section 7.1 of
this Lease, the Trustee shall, upon the request of the City,
disburse moneys from the Construction Fund, in payment of
Costs of Construction for the Project. Such disbursements
shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee of a requisition
signed by the City Representative and the Project Manager (i)
stating with respect to each payment to be made: (a) the
requisition number, (b) the name and address of the person,
firm or corporation to whom payment is due, (c) the amount to
be paid, (d) that each obligation mentioned therein has been
properly incurred, is a proper charge against the
Construction Fund and has not been the basis of any previous
withdrawal, (e) that no Event of Non - appropriation or Event
of Default has occurred and the right of the City to direct
the acquisition, construction, improvement and equipping of
the Project has not otherwise been terminated, and (f) that
the disbursement requested will be used for a Cost of
Construction with respect to the Project; (ii) specifying in
reasonable detail the nature of the obligation; and (iii)
accompanied by a bill, invoice or statement of account for
such obligation.
Disbursements from the Construction Fund for equipment
or materials which are not immediately incorporated into or
stored at the Project shall not at any time exceed $200,000,
and such equipment or materials for which disbursements have
been made shall, until incorporated into or stored at the
Project, be stored at a place and in a manner acceptable to
the Trustee.
Disbursements from the Construction Fund shall be made
not more frequently than once per calendar week, and the City
shall submit to the Trustee a requisition as set forth in
this Section at least two days prior to the date of any
anticipated disbursement from the Construction Fund.
Any requisition for the acquisition of any item of
Equipment having a cost of $25,000 or more, or any
requisition or requisitions for the acquisition of two or
more substantially identical and tangible items of Equipment
having a total aggregate cost of $25,000 or more, shall be
accompanied by Financing Statements executed on behalf of the
City, in form acceptable to the Trustee, and any other
documentation reasonably requested by the Trustee in order to
-25-
WP217102 -002/2
protect the interests of the Registered Owners. Such
Financing Statements and other documentation shall not be
required for requisitions for the acquisition of items of
Equipment having a cost less than $25,000.
Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event prior to the
Completion Date, the Construction Fund may be utilized by the
Trustee on behalf of the Corporation, as owner of the
Project, to complete the Project as provided in Section 7.5
hereof, or, upon termination of the Lease Term, may be
disbursed as provided in Section 4.02 of the Indenture, as
the Trustee may deem appropriate in the best interests of the
Registered Owners.
Section 7.3. Completion of Construction Upon the
substantial completion of the Project, the City
Representative shall deliver a certificate to the Trustee
determining that, based upon the representations of the
contractors and architect for the Project, and except for any
amounts estimated by the City Representative to be necessary
for payment of any Cost of Construction for the Project not
then due and payable, the Project has been substantially
completed and all Costs of Construction for the Project have
been paid. Such certificate shall contain a representation
that there are no materialmen's liens with respect to the
Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such certificate
shall not, and shall state that it does not, prejudice any
rights against third parties which exist on the date of such
certificate or which may subsequently come into being.
Section 7.4. Title Insurance The Corporation shall
cause to be furnished to the Trustee a standard form ALTA
title insurance policy upon the Land issued by a title
insurance company approved by the Trustee and issued to the
Trustee, insuring Corporation's interest in the Land, subject
to Permitted Encumbrances. Said title insurance policy
shall be subject to no encumbrances other than Permitted
Encumbrances, and shall be issued in an amount not less than
the principal amount of the Certificates, less any amount on
deposit in the Reserve Fund.
Section 7.5. Construction Contracts Each Construction
Contract shall provide that: (i) such Construction Contract
shall be fully and freely assignable to the Trustee without
the consent of any other person and the Trustee may choose to
assume or not assume such Construction Contract; and (ii) if
the Trustee does so assume such Construction Contract, the
contractor shall perform the agreements contained therein for
the Trustee. Each Construction Contract shall also provide
that, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Trustee
WP217102 -002/2
-26-
may terminate such Construction Contract, and the contractor
shall then be entitled to payment only from amounts available
therefor in the Construction Fund and only for work done
prior to such termination. Upon the occurrence of a
Termination Event, or upon the Trustee's assuming control
over construction of the Project as provided in the last
sentence of Section 7.1 of this Lease, the City shall deliver
all Project Documents held by it to the Trustee.
Section 7.6. Project Documents The City shall have
and keep on file and available for inspection by the
Corporation and the Trustee copies of the Project Documents
(except for Project Documents which are in the possession of
the Trustee), throughout the Lease Term, or as soon after the
commencement of the Lease Term as such Project Documents
shall become available to the City. Neither the Project
Documents nor any change or amendment thereto shall (i) cause
the Project to be used for any purpose prohibited hereby or
by the Constitution, statutes and laws of the State or the
Charter; (ii) result in a material reduction in the value of
the Project; (iii) adversely affect the ability of the City
to meet its obligations hereunder; or (iv) cause the City to
violate its covenants in Section 11.7 hereof.
Section 7.7. Defaults Under Construction Contracts In
the event of any material default by a contractor under any
of the Construction Contracts, or in the event of a material
breach of warranty with respect to any materials, workmanship
or performance, the City shall promptly proceed, either
separately or in conjunction with others, to pursue
diligently its remedies against such contractor and /or
against each surety of any bond securing the performance of
the Construction Contracts. So long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred under the Indenture, the City shall have
the right to determine the remedies to be exercised against
any such contractor or surety. The Net Proceeds of any
amounts recovered by way of damages, refunds, adjustments or
otherwise in connection with the foregoing, remaining after
deduction of expenses incurred in such recovery (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs), and after
reimbursement to the City of any amounts theretofore paid by
the City and not previously reimbursed to the City for
correcting or remedying the default or breach of warranty
which gave rise to the proceedings against the contractor or
surety, shall be paid to the Trustee for deposit into the
Construction Fund if received before the Completion Date
therefor, or if received thereafter, shall be deposited as
otherwise provided in Section 10.2 of this Lease or otherwise
applied as provided in Section 10.3 of this Lease.
-27-
WP217102 -002/2
Section 7.8. Contractor's Performance and Payment Bonds
Except for any architect, engineer, hydrologist, geologist or
agronomist employed by the City for construction of the
Project, each contractor entering into a Construction
Contract shall be required to furnish a performance bond and
a separate labor and material payment bond in forms
acceptable to the City, which shall be normal and standard
forms thereof, copies of which shall be provided to the City
and the Trustee. Such bonds shall be made payable to the
City, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, shall be
executed by a corporate surety licensed to transact business
in the State and acceptable to the City and shall be in an
amount equal to the contract price for such contractor's
Construction Contract. If, at any time during the
Construction Period, the surety on such bond shall be
disqualified from doing business within the State, or shall
otherwise become incapable (in the judgment of the Trustee)
of performing its obligations under such bond, an alternate
surety acceptable to the City and the Trustee shall be
selected. In the event of any change order resulting in the
performance of additional work in connection with the
Project, the amounts of such bonds pertaining thereto shall
be increased to include the cost of such additional work or
materials or fixtures to be incorporated in the Project.
Section 7.9. Contractor's General Public Liability and
Property Damage Insurance Each contractor and subcontractor
entering into a Construction Contract shall be required to
procure and maintain either standard form comprehensive
general public liability and property damage insurance or
standard form owners and contractors protective liability
insurance, during the duration of such contractor's or
subcontractor's Construction Contract, in the amount of at

public liability and property damage insurance is procured,
such policy shall include the Trustee and the Corporation as
additional named insureds and shall include a provision
prohibiting cancellation or termination without 30 days prior
notice by certified mail to the City and the Trustee. If
standard form owners and contractors protective liability
insurance is procured, such policy shall include the Trustee
and the Corporation as named insureds, and shall include a
provision prohibiting cancellation or termination without 30
days prior notice by certified mail to the City and the
Trustee. A certificate of insurance in form acceptable to
the City and the Trustee shall be provided to the City and
the Trustee with respect to each contractor and
subcontractor. Such insurance shall provide protection from
all claims for bodily injury, including death, property
damage and contractual liability.

Section 7.10, Contractor's Builder's Risk Completed

maintain or cause to be procured and maintained, at no cost
to the Trustee (but which may be paid out of the Construction
Fund) until the Project is accepted and insured by the City,

insurance upon the Project. Such policy shall not prohibit
the waiver of any rights, including but not limited to the
right of subrogation, by the City and any contractor with
respect to each other, their officers, agents and employees
relating to claims covered by such policy. The policy shall
include a provision prohibiting cancellation or termination
without 30 days prior notice by certified mail to the
Trustee and the City, and may have a deductible clause not
in excess of $50,000; provided, however, that neither the
City nor the Trustee shall thereby be deemed to have incurred
any obligation to reimburse the Registered Owners or any
other person for the amount of the deductible. A copy of
such insurance policy, or a certificate with respect thereto,
shall be provided to the City and the Trustee. Such
insurance coverage shall be in an amount at least equal to
the sum of all Construction Contracts. In the event of any
change order resulting in the performance of additional work
in connection with the Project, the amount of such insurance
shall be increased to include the cost of such additional
work. Such builder's risk completed value insurance policy
shall name the City, the Corporation and each other party to
a Construction Contract as insureds, and shall designate the
Trustee as loss payee, subject to the Indenture. Each such
insured shall designate the City as its agent for purposes of
settlement and payment of proceeds, and no such insured shall
have the power to adjust or settle any loss over $50,000 with
respect to the Project without the prior written consent of
the Trustee; if the loss is $50,000 or less, the City shall
have the sole right to adjust or settle the loss. The
consent of the Corporation shall not be required for any such
adjustment or settlement.
Section 7.11. Contractor's Workmen's Compensation
Insurance Each contractor and subcontractor entering into a
Construction Contract shall be required to procure and
maintain, at its own cost and expense, workmen's compensation
insurance during the term of its Construction Contract,
covering its employees working thereunder. Such insurance,
if issued by a private carrier, shall contain a provision
that such coverage shall not be canceled without 30 days'
prior written notice to the City and the Trustee. A
certificate issued by the state compensation insurance fund
evidencing such coverage shall be provided to the City and
the Trustee or, if such insurance is provided by a private
-29-
WP217102 -002/2
carrier, a completed certificate of insurance shall be
provided to the City and the Trustee by the City's
independent insurance consultant with respect to each
contractor and subcontractor entering into a Construction
Contract. Each Construction Contract shall also provide that
each subcontractor of any contractor or subcontractor who is
a party to such Construction Contract shall be required to
furnish similar workmen's compensation insurance.
Section 7.12. Proceeds of Certain Insurance Policies
and Performance Bonds The Net Proceeds of any performance
or payment bond or insurance policy required by Section 7.8
or Section 7.10 of this Lease, and any Net Proceeds received
as a consequence of default under a Construction Contract as
provided in Section 7.7 of this Lease, shall be paid into the
Construction Fund if received before the Completion Date for
the Project, or, if received thereafter, shall either be
deposited as provided in Section 10.2 of this Lease or
otherwise applied as provided in Section 10.3 of this Lease.
Section 7.13. Pledge of Certain Project Documents Under
the Indenture The City hereby acknowledges that the
Corporation has granted, assigned and pledged all of its
rights, title and interest in and to the Project Documents to
the Trustee under the Indenture as set forth therein. In
order to facilitate such grant, assignment and pledge, the
City does hereby grant, pledge and assign to the Corporation
the Project Documents, including all extensions and renewals
of the term thereof, if any, together with certain rights,
titles and interests of the City in and to the Project
Documents, including, but not limited to, the present and
continuing right to make claim for, collect, receive and
receipt for any of the sums, amounts, income, revenues,
issues and profits and any other sums of money payable or
receivable under the Project Documents, to bring actions and
proceedings thereunder or for the enforcement thereof, and to
do any and all things which the City under the Project
Documents is or may become entitled to; provided, however,
that for so long as this Lease is in effect, the City shall
retain the right to bring actions and proceedings under the
Project Documents and enforce the provisions thereof against
the parties thereto other than the City. The City further
consents and agrees to the grant, pledge and assignment of
the Project Documents made by the Corporation under the
Indenture.

in this Lease.
Section 8.2. No Encumbrance, Mortgage or Pledge of
Project The City shall not permit any mechanic's or other
lien in an amount exceeding $50,000 to be perfected or remain
against the Project; provided that, if the City shall first
notify the Trustee of the intention of the City so to do,
the City may in good faith contest any mechanic's or other
lien in an amount exceeding $50,000 filed or perfected
against the Project, and in such event may permit the items
so contested to remain undischarged and unsatisfied during
the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom;
provided, however, that during the prosecution of such

Section 9.1. Maintenance of the Project by the City
The City agrees that, at all times during the Lease Term, the
City shall maintain, preserve and keep the Project or cause
the Project to be maintained, preserved and kept, with the
appurtenances and every part and parcel thereof, in good
repair, working order and condition, and that the City shall
from time to time make or cause to be made all necessary and
proper repairs, except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.3
and 10.3 of this Lease. Neither the Corporation nor the
Trustee nor any of the Registered Owners shall have any
responsibility in any of these matters or for the making of
any additions, modifications or replacements to the Project.
Section 9.2. Modification of the Project; Installation
of Furnishings and Machinery of the City The City shall
have the privilege of remodeling the Project or making
substitutions, additions, modifications and improvements to
the Project, at its own cost and expense; and title to the
same shall be held in the name of the Corporation, subject to
this Lease and the Indenture, and shall be included under the
terms of this Lease and the Indenture; provided, however,
that such remodeling, substitutions, additions, modifications
and improvements shall not in any way damage the Project or
cause the Project to be used for purposes other than lawful
governmental functions of the City or cause the City to
violate its covenants in Section 11.8 hereof; and provided
that the Project, as remodeled, improved or altered, upon
completion of such remodeling, substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements, shall be of a value not less
than the value of the Project immediately prior to such
remodeling or such making of substitutions, additions,
modifications and improvements, as reasonably determined by
the Trustee.
-32-
WP217102 -002/2
The City may also, from time to time in its sole
discretion and at its own expense, install machinery,
equipment and other tangible property in or on the Project.
All such machinery, equipment and other tangible property
shall remain the sole property of the City in which neither
the Corporation, the Trustee nor the Registered Owners shall
have any interest; provided, however, that title to any such
machinery, equipment and other tangible property which
becomes permanently affixed to the Project shall be in the
Corporation, subject to this Lease and the Indenture, and
shall be included under the terms of this Lease and the
Indenture, in the event the Trustee shall reasonably
determine that the Project would be damaged or impaired by
the removal of such machinery, equipment or other tangible
property.
Section 9.3. Replacement and Substitution of Equipment
The City shall not be under any obligation to renew, repair
or replace any inadequate, obsolete, worn -out, unsuitable,
undesirable or unnecessary Equipment. In any instance where
the City determines that any Equipment has become inadequate,
obsolete, worn -out, unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary,
the City may remove such Equipment from the Project and (on
behalf of the Corporation) sell, trade -in, exchange or
otherwise dispose of it (as a whole or in part) without any
responsibility or accountability to the Corporation or the
Trustee therefor, so long as the total net book value of such
Equipment disposed of in any one fiscal year by the City
shall not exceed 5% of the net book value of the Project; the
City may dispose of Equipment having a total net book value
in excess of such 5% threshold or after such 5% threshold is
reached, however, provided that the City shall either:
(a) substitute (by direct payment of the costs
thereof or by designating as Equipment, machinery,
equipment or other personal property, other than
property included as part of the Project pursuant to
Section 9.2 hereof) and install anywhere in or on the
Project, other equipment, machinery or related property
having equal or greater value and utility (but not
necessarily having the same function) in the operation
of the Project; or
(b) not make any such substitution and
installation, provided (i) in the case of the sale of
any such Equipment to anyone other than itself or in the
case of the scrapping thereof, the City shall pay to the
Trustee for deposit into the Extraordinary Redemption
Fund the net proceeds from such sale or the scrap value
thereof, as the case may be, (ii) that in the case of
the trade -in of such Equipment for other machinery,
equipment or related property not to be installed in or
-33-
WP217102 -002/2
P1111101OF111111 I
on the Project, the City shall pay to the Trustee for
deposit into the Extraordinary Redemption Fund the
amount of the credit received by it in such trade -in and
(iii) that in the case of the sale of any such Equipment
to the City, or in the case of any other disposition
thereof, the City shall pay to the Trustee for deposit
into the Extraordinary Redemption Fund an amount equal
to the original cost thereof less depreciation at rates
calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The removal from the Project of any portion of the Equipment
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not
entitle the City to any postponement, abatement or diminution
of the Base Rentals or other payments required to be made
under Section 6.2 of this Lease.
The City will promptly report in writing to the Trustee
each removal, substitution, sale or other disposition under
subsections (a) and (b) of this Section and will pay to the
Trustee all amounts required by subsection (b) of this
Section to be paid into the Extraordinary Redemption Fund
promptly after any subsequent sale, trade -in or other
disposition requiring such payment. All substituted
machinery, equipment or related property installed pursuant
to this Section 9.3 shall be free of all liens and
encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall
become a part of the Project. The City shall furnish to the
Trustee such Financing Statements and other documentation
with respect to any equipment, machinery or related property
substituted as Equipment as would have been required therefor
if originally acquired from the Construction Fund, as
provided in Section 7.2 of this Lease. The City will not
remove, or permit the removal of, any of the Equipment from
the Project except in accordance with this Section 9.3 or in
accordance with Article X of this Lease. The Corporation and
the Trustee will cooperate with the City in implementing the
rights of the City to dispose of Equipment pursuant to this
Section 9.3 and will execute any and all conveyances,
releases or other documents necessary or appropriate in
connection therewith.
Section 9.4. Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and
Utility Charges In the event that the Project or any
portion thereof shall, for any reason, be deemed subject to
taxation, assessments or charges lawfully made by any
governmental body, the City shall, during the Lease Term, pay
the amount of all such taxes, assessments and governmental
charges then due as Additional Rentals. With respect to
special assessments or other governmental charges which may
be lawfully paid in installments over a period of years, the
-34-
WP217102 -002/2
City shall be obligated to provide for Additional Rentals
only for such installments as are required to be paid during
the Original or any Renewal Term. The City shall not allow
any liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges to
exist with respect to the Project or any portion thereof
(including, without limitation, any taxes levied upon the
Project or any portion thereof which, if not paid, will
become a charge on the rentals and receipts from the Project
or any portion thereof, or any interest therein, including
the interest of the Corporation, the Trustee or the
Registered Owners), or the rentals and revenues derived
therefrom or hereunder. The City shall also pay as
Additional Rentals, as the same respectively become due, all
gas, water, steam, electricity, heat, power, telephone,
utility and other charges incurred in the maintenance and
upkeep of the Project.
The City may, at the expense and in the name of the
City, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments,
utility and other charges and, in the event of any such
contest, may permit the taxes, assessments, utility or other
charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of
such contest and any appeal therefrom unless the Trustee
shall notify the City that, in the opinion of Independent
Counsel, by nonpayment of any such items the security
afforded pursuant to the Indenture will be materially
endangered or the Project or any portion thereof will be
subject to loss or forfeiture, or the Corporation or the
Trustee will be subject to liability, in which event such
taxes, assessments, utility or other charges shall be paid
forthwith as Additional Rentals (provided, however, that such
payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
continue to contest such taxes, assessments, utility or other
charges).
Section 9.5. Provisions Regarding Casualty, Public
Liability and Property Damage Insurance Upon the completion
and acceptance of the Project, as provided in Section 7.3 of
this Lease, the City shall cause casualty and property damage
insurance to be carried and maintained with respect to the
Project or shall continue its participation in the Colorado
Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency ( "CIRSA ") in an amount
at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
Certificates then Outstanding or the replacement cost of the
Project, whichever is greater, less the amount of any
deductible clause concerning such insurance. In the event
that the City shall so fail to insure the Project or
participate in CIRSA, the Trustee shall, using the moneys
available in the Insurance Account of the Expenses Fund, pay
premiums for such casualty and property damage insurance.
The Trustee shall, during the Lease Term, if it is obtaining
such insurance, comply with the reasonable direction of the
-35-
WP217102 -002/2
City as to the terms of such casualty and property damage
insurance, consistent with the requirements of this Section
9.5, and as to the selection of a responsible insurer to
provide such casualty and property damage insurance. Any
insurance policy may have a deductible clause in an amount
not to exceed $150,000. The Project may be insured under a
blanket insurance policy which insures other buildings as
well, as long as such blanket insurance policy complies with
the requirements of this Lease. If the City shall insure
against similar risks by self - insurance, the City, at its
election, may provide for property and casualty insurance
with respect to the Project, partially or wholly by means of
an adequate self- insurance fund, subject to the provisions
below.
Upon the execution and delivery of this Lease, the City
shall, at its own expense, cause public liability insurance
to be carried and maintained or shall continue its
participation in CIRSA with respect to the activities to be
undertaken by and on behalf of the City in connection with
the use of the Project. Such public liability insurance in
connection with the Project or participation in CIRSA shall
be in an amount not less than the amounts provided in the
Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, article 10 of title 24,
Colorado Revised Statutes, as the same may be hereafter
amended. Any public liability insurance acquired in
accordance with this Section 9.5 may be by blanket insurance
policy or policies. If the City shall insure against similar
risks by self- insurance, the City, at its election, may
provide for public liability insurance with respect to the
Project, partially or wholly by means of an adequate
self - insurance fund, subject to the provisions of the
following paragraph.
Any self- insurance maintained by the City (participation
in CIRSA shall not be deemed to be self insurance for this
purpose) shall comply with the following terms:
(i) the self- insurance program shall be approved
by an independent insurance consultant;
(ii) the self- insurance program shall include an
actuarially sound claims reserve fund out of which each
self- insured claim shall be paid; the adequacy of each
such fund shall be evaluated on an annual basis by the
independent insurance consultant; and any deficiencies
in any self- insurance claims shall be remedied in
accordance with the recommendation of the independant
insurance consultant;
-36-
WP217102 -002/2
(iii) the self- insurance claims fund shall be held
in a separate trust fund by an independant trustee who
may be the Trustee; and
(iv) in the event the self- insurance program shall
be discontinued, the actuarial soundness of its claims
reserve fund, as determined by the independent insurance
consultant, shall be maintained.
Any casualty and property damage insurance policy
required by this Section 9.5 shall be so written or endorsed
as to make losses of $50,000 or less, if any, payable to the
City, and losses over $50,000, if any, payable to the
Trustee, who, along with the City and the Corporation, shall
be a co- insured. Each insurance policy provided for in this
Section 9.5 shall contain a provision to the effect that the
insurance company shall not cancel the policy or modify it
materially and adversely to the interest of the Trustee or
the Registered Owners, without first giving written notice
thereof to the City and the Trustee at least 30 days in
advance of such cancellation or modification. To the extent
legally possible, CIRSA participation shall include similar
provisions concerning loss payees and cancellation. All
insurance policies issued pursuant to this Section 9.5, or
certificates with respect thereto, or evidence of CIRSA
participation, shall be deposited with the Trustee. No agent
or employee of the City shall have the power to adjust or
settle any loss with respect to the Project, whether or not
covered by insurance, without the prior written consent of
the Trustee. The consent of the Corporation shall not be
required for any such adjustment or settlement.
Section 9.6. Advances In the event that the City
shall fail to pay any Additional Rentals during the Lease
Term, and if there are not sufficient moneys available
therefor in the Reserve Fund, the Trustee may pay such
Additional Rentals, which Additional Rentals, together with
interest thereon at the rate of 18% per annum, the City
agrees to reimburse to the Trustee.

DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION
AND CONDEMNATION; USE OF NET PROCEEDS
Section 10.1. Damage, Destruction and Condemnation
If, during the Lease Term (i) the Project shall be destroyed
(in whole or in part), or damaged by fire or other casualty;
or (ii) title to, or the temporary or permanent use of, the
Project or any portion thereof or the estate of the City, the
Corporation or the Trustee in the Project or any portion
thereof shall be taken under the exercise of the power of

.-In
eminent domain by any governmental authority; or (iii) a
material defect in construction of the Project shall become
apparent; or (iv) title to or the use of all or any portion
of the Project shall be lost by reason of a defect in title
thereto; then the City shall continue to be obligated, during
the Lease Term, subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 of
this Lease, to continue to pay the amounts specified in
Sections 10.2 and 6.2 of this Lease regardless of whether the
certificate provided for in Section 7.3 of this Lease shall
have been delivered to the Trustee.
Section 10.2. Obligation of the City to Repair and
Replace the Project. Subject to the provisions of Section
10.3 of this Lease, the Trustee shall cause the Net Proceeds
of any insurance policies, performance bonds, condemnation
awards or Net Proceeds received as a consequence of default
under a Construction Contract or made available by reason of
any occurrence described in Section 10.1 hereof, to be
deposited in the Construction Fund, if received before the
Completion Date of the Project, or, if received thereafter,
to be deposited in a separate trust fund with the Trustee.
Except as set forth in Section 10.3 of this Lease, all Net
Proceeds so deposited shall be applied to the prompt repair,
restoration, modification, improvement or replacement of the
Project upon receipt of requisitions acceptable to the
Trustee signed by the City Representative and, if drawn from
the Contruction Fund, the Project Manager, stating with
respect to each payment to be made: (i) the requisition
number; (ii) the name and address of the person, firm or
corporation to whom payment is due; (iii) the amount to be
paid; and (iv) that each obligation mentioned therein has
been properly incurred, is a proper charge against the
Construction Fund, or the separate trust fund, and has not
been the basis of any previous withdrawal and specifying in
reasonable detail the nature of the obligation, accompanied
by a bill or a statement of account for such obligation. In
carrying out any of the provisions of this Section, the City
shall have all power and authority granted under Article VII
of this Lease. The Trustee shall cooperate with the City in
the administration of such fund and shall not unreasonably
withhold its approval of requisitions under this Section.
The balance of any such Net Proceeds remaining after such
repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement
has been completed shall, if received prior to the Completion
Date, be deposited into the Construction Fund; and if
received thereafter, shall be deposited into the
Extraordinary Redemption Fund. Any repair, restoration,
modification, improvement or replacement paid for in whole or
in part out of such Net Proceeds shall be the property of the
Corporation, subject to this Lease and the Indenture, and
shall be included as part of the Project under this Lease and
the Indenture.

WP217102 -002/2
Section 10.3. Insufficiency of Net Proceeds; Discharge
of the Obligation of the City to Repair or Replace Project
If the Net Proceeds (plus any amount withheld therefrom by
reason of any deductible clause) shall be insufficient to pay
in full the cost of any repair, restoration, modification,
improvement or replacement of the Project as required under
Section 10.2 of this Lease, the City may elect to proceed
under any of the following options:
(a) The City may complete the work and pay any
cost in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds, and
the City agrees that, if by reason of any such
insufficiency of the Net Proceeds, the City shall make
any payments pursuant to the provisions of this Section
10.3(a), the City shall not be entitled to any
reimbursement therefor from the Corporation, the Trustee
or the Registered Owners, nor shall the City be entitled
to any diminution of the Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals payable under Section 6.2 of this Lease.
(b) The obligation of the City to repair or
replace the Project under Section 10.2 of this Lease
may, at the option of the City, be discharged by
depositing the Net Proceeds of insurance policies,
performance bonds or condemnation awards, or Net
Proceeds received as a consequence of default under a
Construction Contract, made available by reason of such
occurrence, into the Extraordinary Redemption Fund, to
be used to redeem Certificates as provided in Section
4.01(c) of the Indenture. Upon such deposit: (i) this
Lease shall terminate and all obligations of the City
hereunder shall terminate (except the obligation to pay
Base Rentals and Additional Rentals which would
otherwise have been payable by the City hereunder during
the Original or Renewal Term in which such deposit of
Net Proceeds occurs); and (ii) the Trustee shall notify
the City to vacate the Project (leaving the Equipment)
within 30 days of such deposit; the Project shall
thereafter be foreclosed on and subleased as provided in
Sections 7.02 and 7.05 of the Indenture; and the Net
Proceeds of such foreclosure and subleasing, together
with any moneys remaining in the Construction Fund,
shall also be deposited into the Extraordinary
Redemption Fund for the purpose of redeeming
Certificates as provided in Section 4.01(d) of the
Indenture.
(c) The obligation of the City to repair or
replace the Project under Section 10.2 of this Lease
may, at the option of the City, be discharged by
applying the Net Proceeds of such insurance policies,
performance bonds or condemnation awards to the payment
-39-
WP217102 -002/2
of the Purchase Option Price, in accordance with
Article XII of this Lease. In the event of an
insufficiency of the Net Proceeds for such purpose, the
City shall pay such amounts as may be necessary to equal
the Purchase Option Price; and in the event the Net
Proceeds shall exceed the Purchase Option Price, such
excess shall be paid to or retained by the City.
Within 90 days of the occurrence of an event specified in
Section 10.1 of this Lease, the City shall commence the
repair, restoration, modification, improvement or replacement
of the Project, or shall elect, by written notice to the
Trustee, to proceed under the provisions of subsection (b)
or subsection (c) of this Section 10.3. In the event that
the City shall, after commencing the repair, restoration,
modification, improvement or replacement of the Project,
determine that the Net Proceeds (plus any amount withheld
therefrom by reason of any deductible clause) shall be
insufficient for the accomplishment thereof, the City may
elect to proceed under subsection (b) or subsection (c) of
this Section 10.3.
Section 10.4. Cooperation of Corporation The
Corporation shall cooperate fully with the City and the
Trustee in filing any proof of loss with respect to any
insurance policy or performance bond covering the events
described in Section 10.1 of this Lease, in the prosecution
or defense of any prospective or pending condemnation
proceeding with respect to the Project or any portion
thereof, or in any action relating to any Construction
Contract, and hereby assigns to the Trustee any interest it
may have in such policies or rights of action for such
purposes. In no event shall the Corporation voluntarily
settle, or consent to the settlement of, any proceeding
arising out of any insurance claim, performance or payment
bond claim, prospective or pending condemnation proceeding,
or action relating to any Construction Contract, with respect
to the Project or any portion thereof, without the written
consent of the Trustee and the City.

and (iii) an opinion of Independent Counsel to the effect
that such grant or release will not impair the value or the
effective use or interfere with the operation of the Project.
Section 11.5. Compliance With Requirements During the
Lease Term, the City, the Corporation and the Trustee shall
observe and comply promptly with all current and future
orders of all courts having jurisdiction over the Project or
any portion thereof, and all current and future requirements
of all insurance companies writing policies covering the
Project or any portion thereof.
Section 11.6. City Acknowledgement of the Indenture and
the Certificates The City acknowledges and agrees to the
terms of the Indenture and agrees to be bound thereby. The
City further acknowledges and agrees to the assignment by the
Corporation to the Trustee, pursuant to the Indenture, of all
rights, title and interest of the Corporation in, to and
under this Lease (except the rights of the Corporation under
Sections 13.3 and 14.6 of this Lease); and to the delegation
by the Corporation to the Trustee, pursuant to the Indenture,
of all duties of the Corporation under this Lease. The City
acknowledges, directs and agrees to the issuance and sale of
the Certificates pursuant to the Indenture. The City
acknowledges and approves the form of the Certificates
contained in the Indenture.
Section 11.7. Tax Covenants The City hereby covenants
to comply with all restrictions of the Code applicable to the
Certificates and necessary to preserve the exclusion from
gross income and from alternative minimum taxable income, for
purposes of federal income taxation, of interest paid in
connection with the Certificates, unless the City obtains an
opinion of nationally recognized municipal bond counsel to
the effect that compliance with such restrictions is not
necessary to preserve such exclusion. In particular, but
without limitation, the City further represents, warrants and
covenants to comply with the following restrictions of the
Code, unless it receives an opinion of nationally recognized
municipal bond counsel stating that such compliance is not
necessary.
(a) Gross proceeds of the Certificates will not be
used in a manner which will cause the Certificates to be
considered ''private activity bonds" within the meaning
of the Code. The Certificates will be classified as
private activity bonds if greater than 10% of the net
proceeds of the Certificates are used for any private
business use and greater than 10% of the net proceeds of
-42-
WP217102 -002/2
the Certificates are directly or indirectly (i) secured
by any interest in (A) property used or to be used for a
private business use or (B) payments in respect of such
property or (ii) to be secured by payments derived from
payments in respect of property, or borrowed money, used
or to be used for a private business use. The
Certificates will also be deemed private activity bonds
if greater than 5% of the proceeds of the Certificates
are (i) used for a private use which is unrelated or
disproportionate to the City's use of the proceeds of
the Certificates and greater than 5% of the debt service
on the Certificates is secured by payments made directly
or indirectly by such private user or (ii) an amount
exceeding the lesser of 5% or $5 million of the proceeds
of the Certificates is used to make a private loan to a
person or entity other than a governmental unit.
(b) The Certificates are not and shall not become
directly or indirectly ''federally guaranteed.'' Under
the Code, the Certificates will be considered to be
"federally guaranteed" if the payment of principal or
interest with respect to the Certificates is directly or
indirectly guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the
United States of America (or any agency or
instrumentality thereof) or 5% or more of the proceeds
of the Certificates are used in making loans the payment
of principal or interest with respect to which are
guaranteed or invested (directly or indirectly) in
federally insured deposits or accounts. The
Certificates shall not be treated as federally
guaranteed due to (i) the proceeds of the issue being
invested for an initial temporary period until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which such
Certificates were issued; (ii) investments of a bona
fide debt service fund; (iii) investments of a reserve
fund which meet the limitations placed on reserve funds
by the Code; (iv) investments in obligations issued by
the United States Treasury; or (v) other investments
permitted by the regulations under the Code.
(c) The City shall timely file Internal Revenue
Form 8038 -G which shall contain the information required
to be filed pursuant to Section 149(e) of the Code.
(d) The City shall comply with the Investment
Instructions delivered to it on the date of issuance of
the Certificates with respect to the application and
investment of the proceeds of the Certificates.

Section 11.8. Notification to Moody's Investors Service
of Future Obligations of the City The City shall
immediately give notice to Moody's Investors Service upon
entering into any annually appropriated lease - purchase or
similar agreements or upon the issuance by, or on behalf of,
the City of any certificates of participation or similar
securities for which specific funds have not been pledged to
the payment thereof.

discharge of the Indenture as provided in Article VI of the

City without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the
Corporation, the Trustee or any Registered Owners; subject,
however, to each of the following conditions:
(a) The Project may be subleased, in whole or in
part, only to an agency or department or political
subdivision of the State, or to another entity or
entities if, in the opinion of nationally recognized
bond counsel acceptable to the Trustee, such sublease
will not cause the City to violate its covenants in
Section 11.7 hereof;
(b) This Lease, and the obligations of the City
hereunder, shall, at all times during the Original and
any Renewal Terms, remain obligations of the City, and
the City shall maintain its direct relationships with
the Corporation and the Trustee, notwithstanding any
sublease;
(c) The City shall furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Corporation and the Trustee a copy of
any sublease agreement; and
(d) No sublease by the City shall cause the
Project to be used for any purpose which would cause the
City to violate its covenants in Section 11.8 hereof, or
which would viollate the Constitution, statutes or laws
of the State or the Charter.
Section 13.3. Release and Indemnification Covenants
To the extent permitted by law, the City shall and hereby
agrees to indemnify and save the Corporation and the Trustee
harmless against and from all claims, by or on behalf of any
person, firm, corporation or other legal entity arising from
the conduct, management or ownership of, or from any work or
thing done on, the Project during the Lease Term, from: (i)
any condition of the Project; and (ii) any act of negligence
of the City or of any of its agents, contractors or employees
or any violation of law by the City or breach of any covenant
or warranty by the City hereunder. To the extent permitted
by law, the City shall indemnify and save the Corporation
and the Trustee harmless from any such claim arising as
aforesaid from (i) or (ii) above, or in connection with any
action or proceeding brought thereon and, upon notice from
the Corporation or the Trustee, shall defend the
Corporation or the Trustee, as the case may be, and pay the
cost of such defense in any such action or proceeding.

WP217102 -002/2

Project The City and the Corporation agree that, except
for: (i) the assignment by the Corporation of this Lease and
mortgaging of the Project to the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture; (ii) any exercise by the Trustee or the
Corporation of the remedies afforded by this Lease; (iii) the
right of the Trustee to replace the Corporation pursuant to

ARTICLE XIV
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 14.1. Events of Default Defined Any one of
the following shall be ''Events of Default" under this Lease:
(a) Failure by the City to pay any Base Rentals or
Additional Rentals when due during the Lease Term; or
(b) Failure by the City to vacate the Project
(leaving the Equipment) by the expiration of the
Original or Renewal Term during which an Event of
Nonappropriation occurs; or
(c) Failure by the City to observe and perform any
covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be
observed or performed, other than as referred to in (a)
or (b) for a period of 45 days after written notice,
specifying such failure and requesting that it be
remedied shall be given to the City by the Trustee,
unless the Trustee shall agree in writing to an
extension of such time prior to its expiration;
provided, however, that if the failure stated in the
notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period,
the Trustee shall not unreasonably withhold its
consent to an extension of such time if corrective
action shall be instituted by the City within the
applicable period and diligently pursued until the
default is corrected.
-47-
WP217102 -002/2
The foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1 are subject to
the following limitations: (i) the City shall be obligated to
pay the Base Rentals and Additional Rentals only during the
Lease Term, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease; and (ii) if, by reason of Force Majeure the City
shall be unable in whole or in part to carry out any
agreement on its part herein contained, other than the
obligations on the part of the City contained in Article VI
of this Lease, the City shall not be deemed in default during
the continuance of such inability. The City agrees, however,
to remedy, as promptly as legally and reasonably possible,
the cause or causes preventing the City from carrying out its
agreement; provided that the settlement of strikes, lockouts
and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within
the discretion of the City.
Section 14.2. Remedies on Default Whenever any Event
of Default referred to in Section 14.1 of this Lease shall
have happened and be continuing, the Trustee may terminate
the Lease Term and may give notice to the City to vacate the
Project (leaving the Equipment) within 15 days from the date
of such notice. After the occurrence of an Event of Default
the Trustee may, without any further demand or notice,
foreclose through the courts on the Project, and exercise all
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Colorado
Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Equipment, and
take one or any combination of the following additional
remedial steps:
(a) The Trustee may lease the Project or any
portion thereof for the benefit of the Registered Owners.
(b) The Trustee may recover from the City:
(i) the portion of Base Rentals and
Additional Rentals which would otherwise have been
payable hereunder, allocable to any period in which
the City continues to occupy the Project; and
(ii) Base Rentals and Additional Rentals which
would otherwise have been payable by the City
hereunder during the remainder, after the City
vacates the Project, of the Original or Renewal
Term in which such Event of Default occurs;
provided, however, that if the Trustee does not
proceed to foreclose and sell the Project
reasonably promptly after such Event of Default,
the Trustee shall be obligated to the City to use
its best efforts to lease or sublease the Project
for the remainder of such Original or Renewal Term,
-48-
WP217102 -002/2
as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 14.2,
and the Net Proceeds of such leasing shall be
offset against the amount recoverable from the City
under this paragraph (ii).
(c) The Trustee may take whatever action at law or
in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce
its rights in and to the Project under this Lease and
the Indenture.
Section 14.3. Limitations on Remedies A judgment
requiring a payment of money may be entered against the City
by reason of an Event of Default only as to the City's
liabilities described in paragraph (b) of Section 14.2 of
this Lease. A judgment requiring a payment of money may be
entered against the City by reason of an Event of
Nonappropriation only to the extent that the City fails to
vacate the Project as required by Section 6.6 of this Lease,
and only as to the liabilities described in paragraph (b)(i)
of Section 14.2 of this Lease. Notwithstanding paragraph
(b)(ii) of Section 14.2 of this Lease, any Event of Default
consisting of failure by the City to vacate the Project by
the expiration of the Original or Renewal Term during which
an Event of Nonappropriation occurs shall not result in any
liability for Base Rentals or Additional Rentals allocable to
any period other than the period in which the City continues
to occupy the Project.
Section 14.4. No Remedy Exclusive Subject to Section
14.3 hereof, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee is intended to be exclusive, and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right
or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such
right or power, and the same may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to
entitle the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved in this
Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other
than such notice as may be required in this Article.
Section 14.5. Waivers The Trustee may waive any Event
of Default under this Lease and its consequences, as the
Trustee deems to be in the best interests of the Registered
Owners. In the event that any agreement contained herein
should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by
the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the
particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive
any other breach hereunder.
-49-
WP217102 -002/2
In view of the assignment of the rights of the
Corporation under this Lease to the Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture, the Corporation shall have no right to waive any
Event of Default hereunder without the consent of the
Trustee; and the waiver of any Event of Default hereunder by
the Trustee shall constitute a waiver of such Event of
Default by the Corporation, without the necessity of any
action of or consent by the Corporation. A waiver of an
Event of Default under the Indenture shall constitue a waiver
of the corresponding Event of Default or Event of
Nonappropriation under this Lease; provided that no such
waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent or other
Event of Default or Event of Nonappropriation under this
Lease or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 14.6. Agreement to Pay Attorneys' Fees and
Expenses In the event that either party hereto shall
default under any of the provisions hereof and the
nondefaulting party shall employ attorneys or incur other
expenses for the collection of Base Rentals and Additional
Rentals, or the enforcement of performance or observance of
any obligation or agreement on the part of the defaulting
party herein contained, the defaulting party agrees that it
shall pay on demand therefor to the nondefaulting party the
fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred by
the nondefaulting party, to the extent that such attorneys'
fees and expenses may be determined to be reasonable by a
court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 14.7. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay
and Extension The Corporation and the City agree, to the
extent permitted by law, that in the case of a termination of
the Lease Term by reason of an Event of Nonappropriation or
an Event of Default, neither the Corporation nor the City nor
any one claiming through or under either of them shall or
will set up claim or seek to take advantage of any
appraisement, valuation, stay or extension laws now or
hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the
enforcement of the Indenture or this Lease; and the
Corporation and the City, for themselves and all who may at
any time claim through or under either of them, each hereby
waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully do so, the
benefit of all such laws; provided, however, that
Corporation, for itself and all who may at any time claim
through or under the Corporation, shall retain all rights of
redemption.
