COMPREHENSIVE CONTRACT LETTER FOR ARBITRAGE COMPLIANCE SERVICES

and bring to current status all rebate reports through the FYE 9/30/14, pertaining to the required rebate to the United

Exhibit A of this Contract. ACS has offered the Authority volume discounted fees of$1,250 for annual Rebate
Reports from our standard fee of$1,500.
Based on ACS' prior experience with arbitrage rebate computations for the Authority's Debt, ACS' review of
various Authority accounting information and, ACS' experience with similar engagements of this nature and scope, we
have set forth the total contractual cost to complete rebate reports as defined in Exhibit A of this Contract to be $5,600
with a contingency of$560, for a Contract total not to exceed $6,160. The fees due for arbitrage compliance services
will be billed by ACS,based on ACS' Fees, at the time of the Report delivery to the Authority. All invoices will be paid
to ACS by the Authority as of the payable date of the invoice.
The scope of this Contract would cover the services, as stipulated in Exhibit A for arbitrage compliance reports.
ACS has provided for a $375 contingency budget in this Contract if the scope of the Contract needs to expand for any
services after discovery and will be based on the Fee Schedule defined in Exhibit B. ACS is the prime manager and
Contractor of this Contract and does not plan to retain or manage any subcontractors to assist with this Contract.

ACS'fees are based on the following three categories:
Rebate Report Fees-There are different report fees for the various types of bond issues that reflect the necessary time and effort
required for legal and technical analysis,due diligence and transactional reporting.
Rebate Supplemental Fees-Optional fees may apply in more complex rebate areas dealing with Transferred Proceeds arising in
connection with refunding bonds or commingled investments to be evaluated.
Spending Exception Report Fee-Fees for calculating ACP(the amount to be spent semi-annually),determining expenditures and
retainage and any penalties owed. These fees are in lieu of rebate fees.
*THE IRS ALLOWS A CREDIT OF UP TO$7,340 PER 5-YEAR FILING. ACS'FEES ARE LESS THAN THE CREDIT YOU RECEIVE FROM THE IRS.
Note: ACS'fees should be paid from bond proceeds. ACS'fees stated above include all normal business expenses such as faxes,
copies, regular U.S. mail postage,and telephone access via ACS' toll free telephone number. FedEx,when needed, is billed to
the City at cost.
