D74803 3 06/12/89 Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent - DTC Eligible The County has designated The Colorado National Bank of Denver, Denver, Colorado, as the initial paying agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Bonds. Payments of interest will be made by check mailed to the address of the registered owner of each Bond as of the record date as shown by the records of the registrar and transfer agent. Payment of principal will be made upon surrender of the Bond. The County intends to use Depository Trust Company as the securities depository for the Bonds under a book -entry system. Owners of the Bonds will not receive certificates representing ownership unless specifically requested from the Bond registrar. The successful bidder will be responsible for paying any Depository Trust Company fees. Registration; Transfers The County will furnish at its expense a registered Bond or Bonds to each named registered owner designated by the successful bidder. Further, all transfers of the Bonds within 15 days after the initial delivery of the Bonds will be at the expense of the County. Not less than five business days prior to the initial delivery date of the Bonds the successful bidder shall notify the registrar and transfer agent of the names and tax identification numbers of registered owners to be shown at the initial delivery of the Bonds, showing principal amounts for each annual maturity. Otherwise the Bonds will be registered in the name of the successful bidder or in the name of the first participant listed in the Bid. All transfers of the Bonds subsequent to the 15th day after the initial delivery of the Bonds will be at the expense of the transferor. The transfer agent may also require payment of a sum sufficient to defray any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer of the Bonds. Basis of Award Subject to the right of the County to reject any and all bids received, the Bonds will be awarded on the bid representing the lowest net effective interest rate determined by dividing the net interest cost of the Bonds by the sum of the products derived by multiplying the principal amount of the Bonds maturing on each maturity date by the number of years from the date of said proposed bonds to their respective maturities. "Net interest cost" of the Bonds means the total amount of interest to accrue on said Bonds from their date of issuance to their respective maturities, plus the amount of any discount below par or less the amount of any premium above par at which said Bonds are being or have been sold. In all cases the net effective interest rate and net interest cost shall be computed without regard to any option of redemption prior to the designated maturity dates of the Bonds. In no event may the net effective interest rate exceed 10% per annum. It is requested that each Bid be accompanied by a computation of the net interest D74803 4 06/12/89 cost under such Bid, but such computation is not to be considered as part of the Bid and is not binding upon the County. Permitted Interest Rate All Bonds of the same maturity must bear interest at a single uniform rate from their date to maturity, expressed as an integral multiple of twentieths or eighths of one percent (1 %) per annum. A rate of interest based upon the use of split or supplemental interest payments or a zero rate will not be permitted. Discount bids will be permitted, but the discount shall not exceed 2.5%. No rate of any maturity may be lower than the highest rate carried by any of the preceding maturities, commencing with the first maturity. The maximum differential between the lowest and the highest interest rate stated in the bid from the first maturity through the last maturity may not exceed 2.5%. Bidders" Option as to Bond Insurance The County has applied to AMBAC Indemnity Corporation, Municipal Bond Investors Assurance Corporation, Bond Investors Guaranty Insurance Company, Capital Guaranty and Financial Guaranty Insurance Company for an insurance commitment guaranteeing the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment therefor, the bidder has the option to bid for insured (in whole or in part) or uninsured Bonds. Any purchase of such insurance or commitment therefor shall be at the sole option and expense of the bidder, and any increased costs shall be paid by such bidder. The amount of such premium, together with copies of any commitment for bond insurance, may be obtained from the County's financial advisors. Bidders' Option As to Term Bonds Bidders on the Bonds have the option of specifying that all the principal amount of Bonds in any two or more consecutive years and bearing the same interest rate from 2000 through 2008 inclusive, as given in the above maturity schedule may, in lieu of maturing in each of such years, be considered to comprise one or more maturities of Bonds (the "Term Bonds ") scheduled to mature in the latest of such years and be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption by lot at par in each of the years and in the principal amounts as given in the above schedule. Bidders may specify one or more, but no more than two, of such Term Bonds. Submission of Bids Bids must be on the Official Bid form and enclosed in a sealed envelope marked as follows: "Bid for $6,250,000 Eagle County, Colorado General Obligation Bonds, Series 1989."

D74803 5 06/12/89 Bid Security A cashier's or certified check drawn on a Colorado bank or trust company, payable to the order of Eagle County, Colorado, in the amount of $125,000 must accompany each bid, and such amount will be retained by the County as liquidated damages in the event the Bonds are not taken up and paid for in accordance with the bid. Checks of unsuccessful bidders will be returned immediately by certified mail at the addresses stated in their Bids or delivered to a representative of such bidder immediately after the award of the Bonds to the successful bidder. The proceeds of the good faith check of the successful bidder will be applied to the payment of the purchase price of the Bonds. Prior to the delivery of the Bonds, the County may cash and invest the proceeds from the good faith check. No interest will be paid to any bidder upon any good faith check. Unconditional Bids Bids shall be conditioned upon receipt of the approving legal opinion of bond counsel, but must in any and all other respects be unconditional. Delivery It is anticipated that the Bonds will be delivered on or about July A, 1989, at a bank or trust company in Denver, Colorado, or elsewhere at the expense of the purchaser. The successful bidder is required to make final payment for the Bonds, including accrued interest calculated on a 360 - day -year basis in federal funds (funds available to the County on the same day in Denver, Colorado, for immediate reinvestment). Closing Documents The printed Bonds, a certified transcript of legal proceedings, and the approving opinion of Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll, Denver, Colorado, as bond counsel, as to validity of the Bonds and exclusion of interest thereon from federal and Colorado income taxes as printed on the Bonds will be furnished upon request at no expense to the purchaser. The form of such bond counsel opinion is contained in the County's Official Statement relating to the Bonds. Such opinion will assume compliance by the County with its covenants with respect to certain federal income tax matters. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income for federal income tax purposes to be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. Purchaser's Certificate The successful bidder will be required to provide to the County within seven days after the award of the Bonds certain information regarding the reoffering price to the public of each maturity of the Bonds.

The County shall deliver, at closing, a certificate, executed by appropriate officers of the County acting in their official capacities, to the effect that the facts contained in the Official Statement relating to the Bonds are true and correct in all material respects, and that the Official Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. CUSIP Numbers It is anticipated that CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but the printing of incorrect CUSIP numbers or the failure to print the CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall not constitute cause for the purchaser to refuse delivery of the Bonds. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds will be paid by the County, but the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers will be the responsibility of and shall be paid by the successful bidder. Waiver of Irregularities; Rejection of Bids The County reserves the right (a) to waive any defect or irregularity in any Bid, (b) to reject any and all Bids for the purchase of said Bonds and (c) thereafter to sell the Bonds at private sale.
