POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE ACT OF 2002 (as extended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005, and as amended in 2007) You are hereby notified that under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2007, the definition of act of terrorism has changed. As defined in Section 102(1) of the Act: The term "act of terrorism" means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury — in concurrence with the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General of the United States — to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property, or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of certain air carriers or vessels or the premises of a United States mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. Under your coverage, any losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism may be partially reimbursed by the United States Government under a formula established by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended in 2007. However, your policy may contain other exclusions, which might affect your coverage, such as an exclusion for nuclear events. Under the formula, the United States Government generally reimburses 85% of covered terrorism losses exceeding the statutorily established deductible paid by the insurance company providing the coverage. The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, as amended, contains a $100 billion cap that limits U.S. Government reimbursement as well as insurers' liability for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism when the amount of such losses exceeds $100 billion in any one calendar year. If the aggregate insured losses for all insurers exceed $100 billion, your coverage may be reduced.

Included in this document package are all of the forms that will be needed for standard tax exempt lease purchase transactions. The forms have been designed to be clear, concise and user friendly. We have also provided a brief explanation of the purpose of each form. If you wish to discuss any of the forms or have any questions about any aspect of this transaction, we encourage you to contact your Caterpillar Dealer or Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation at 1- 866 -263 -3791 Option # 5. A. Governmental Equipment Lease - Purchase Agreement. The Governmental Lease - Purchase Agreement contains the terns that govern each transaction between us. It is the standard Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation tax exempt lease- purchase agreement, and provides that we will lease to you the equipment described therein pursuant to a full payout amortization schedule. A new Governmental Equipment Lease- Purchase Agreement will have to be signed in connection with each transaction. B. Delivery Certification. The Delivery Certification is signed by you when you receive and confirm that the equipment being lease - purchased under the Governmental Equipment Lease- Purchase Agreement is operational and in good working order. As we are not involved in the manufacture, selection or delivery of the equipment we are relying upon you to ensure that the equipment works. C. Lessee's Authorizing Resolution. The Authorizing Resolution is evidence you have taken the necessary governing body actions to approve the Governmental Equipment Lease- Purchase Agreement. Although the authorizing instrument is often a resolution, it may also take other forms such as an ordinance. We are agreeable to using your customary or standard form provided it contains specific approval for the lease - purchase agreement, designates persons who are authorized to sign on your behalf and either approves the document forms or delegates this authority to a named official D. Verification of Insurance. The Certificate of Insurance is intended to supply information regarding the insurance coverage for the equipment being lease- purchased. You will need to supply the requested information to us so we can verify coverage. E. Opinion of Counsel. An opinion of counsel is required in connection with each Governmental Equipment Lease- Purchase Agreement. The opinion is intended to confirm that you have complied with all open meeting laws, publication and notice requirements, procedural rules for governing body meetings, and any other relevant state or local government statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations. We would be unable to confirm compliance with these laws and regulations ourselves absent long delays and higher costs so we rely upon the opinion of your attorney since he /she may have been involved in the process to approve our transaction and is an expert in the laws and regulations to which you are subject. The opinion also confirms that you are an entity eligible to issue tax - exempt obligations and that the Governmental Equipment Lease - Purchase Agreement will be treated as tax - exempt as it is your obligation to ensure that you have complied with relevant tax law. F. Form of 8038G or GC. Form 8038 is required by the Internal Revenue Service in order to monitor the amount of tax - exempt obligations issued. You have to execute a Form 8038 for each Governmental Equipment Lease - Purchase Agreement. Whether a Form 8038 G or GC is required depends on the original principal amount of the Governmental Equipment Lease- Purchase Agreement. If the original principal amount is less than $100,000 Form 8038GC is filed with the IRS. If the original principal amount is $100,000 or more Form 8038G is filed with the IRS.

We are grateful that Brazos County sees the value in owning and operating Caterpillar equipment. We hope that our past dealings have had an influence on your decision to purchase additional machines now and in the future. Through Caterpillar Financial, we offered a governmental lease on these pieces of equipment. I was wrong in the clarification of the lease final payment and thanks to your auditor, it was caught that the final payment is not an option, it is a mandatory payment. Please accept this letter as a solution to this mistake. Mustang CAT will make the final payment on all three pieces as a "guaranteed buyback" for the county. The machines, serial number, and buybacks are listed below. Mustang CAT will make that payment for the county and take possession of the unit. The stipulations to this agreement are that the machines be in working condition and within the lease agreement on hours. On these particular units, that is 1000 hours/year. Mustang CAT will do an off lease inspection on the machine prior to taking possession and making the payment. If you have any questions, please let me know. We appreciate your business.
