I. Payment Procedure. As long as the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy shall be in full force and effect, the Issuer and the Paying Agent agree to comply with the following provisions: (a) At least one (1) day prior to all interest payment dates the Paying Agent will determine whether there will be sufficient funds in the funds and accounts to pay the principal of or interest on the Series 1997 Bonds on such interest payment date. If the Paying Agent determines that there will be insufficient funds in such funds or accounts, the Paying Agent shall so notify the Bond Insurer. Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency, the Series 1997 Bonds to which such deficiency is applicable and whether such Series 1997 Bonds will be deficient as to principal or interest, or both. If the Paying Agent has not so notified the Bond Insurer at least one day prior to an interest payment date, the Bond Insurer will make payments of principal or interest due on the Series 1997 Bonds on or before the first (1st) day next following the date on which the Bond Insurer shall have received notice of nonpayment from the Paying Agent.

(d) The Paying Agent shall, at the time it provides notice to the Bond Insurer pursuant to (a) above, notify registered owners of Series 1997 Bonds entitled to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon from the Bond Insurer (i) as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii) that the Bond Insurer will remit to them all or a part of the interest payments next coming due upon proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest payments and delivery to the Insurance Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate assignment of the registered owner's right to payment, (iii) that should they be entitled to receive full payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, they must surrender their Series 1997 Bonds (along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee to permit ownership of such Series 1997 Bonds to be registered in the name of the Bond Insurer) for payment to the Insurance Trustee, and not the Paying Agent, and (iv) that should they be entitled to receive partial payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, they must surrender their Series 1997 Bonds for payment thereon first to the Paying Agent who shall note on such Series 1997 Bonds the portion of the principal paid by the Paying Agent, if any, and then, along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, to the Insurance Trustee, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal. (e) In the event that the Paying Agent has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Series 1997 Bond which has become due for payment and which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf of the Issuer has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Paying Agent shall, at the time the Bond Insurer is notified pursuant to (a) above, notify all 23 registered owners that in the event that any registered owner's payment is so recovered, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from the Bond Insurer to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available, and the Paying Agent shall furnish to the Bond Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Series 1997 Bonds which have been made by the Paying Agent and subsequently recovered from registered owners and the dates on which such payments were made. (f) In addition to those rights granted to the Bond Insurer under this Resolution, the Bond Insurer shall, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on Series 1997 Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Municipal Bond Insurance Policy, and to evidence such subrogation (i) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest, the Paying Agent shall note the Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Paying Agent upon receipt from the Bond Insurer of proof of the payment of interest thereon to the registered owners of the Series 1997 Bonds, and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the Paying Agent shall note the Bond Insurer's rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Paying Agent upon surrender of the Series 1997 Bonds by the registered owners thereof together with proof of the payment of principal thereof.

The Series 1997 Bonds and the interest thereon do not constitute a general indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter provision or limitation, and the City has not pledged its full faith and credit for the payment of the principal of,redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 1997 Bonds.

All such funds and accounts will be held by the City as trust funds,but no independent trustee has been appointed to hold the moneys in such funds for the benefit of the Holders of the Series 1997 Bonds. For information on all funds and accounts and the disposition and flow of revenues, see "APPENDIX D— SUMMARY OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE RESOLUTION—Funds and Accounts; Flow of Funds." The designation and establishment of the various funds and accounts by the Resolution does not require the establishment of any completely independent, self-balancing funds as such term is commonly defined and used in government accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of certain revenues of the System for certain purposes and to establish certain priorities for application of such revenues as provided in the Resolution. • Development Charges Pursuant to the Resolution, Sewer System Development Charges and Water System Development Charges are defined as the impact fees and capital charges levied upon and collected from new users of the Sewer System and Water System, respectively (or the proceeds of any security provided for the payment thereof), if any, to the extent the same are lawfully available for the acquisition and construction of Sewer Expansion Facilities and Water Expansion Facilities, respectively, and for Sewer System Development Charges Bond 3 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 Service Component and for Water System Development Charges Bond Service Component, respectively. Such Development Charges do not include Connection Charges. Pursuant to the City Code and various ordinances of the City, the City imposes water capital charges and sewer capital charges that are.based on equivalent residential units ("ERUs"), which are the City's estimates of the average daily water and sewer capacity usage, in gallons per day, for a single family residential household. The City has assigned----== a value of 300 gallons per day per ERU for water capacity and 270 gallons per day per ERU for sewer capacity. The City imposes a water capital charge of$966 per ERU for the cost of providing water treatment facilities and extending water distribution and treatment lines to a point of reasonable availability for connection to the Water System. The City also imposes a sewer capital charge of$2,865 per ERU for the cost of providing sewage treatment facilities, effluent disposal facilities and pumping stations and extending sewer collection lines to a reasonable point of availability to the Sewer System. Such capital charges are due at the time the City issues a building permit. Only the Sewer System Development Charges Bond Service Component and the Water System Development Charges Bond Service Component, that portion of the debt service on the Series 1997 Bonds and Parity Bonds for a given year determined by multiplying the debt service on the Series 1997 Bonds and Parity Bonds for that given year by the percentage of the cost of the projects financed from the proceeds of the Series 1997 Bonds and Parity Bonds attributable to Sewer Expansion Facilities and Water Expansion Facilities, respectively, are pledged to the Series 1997 Bonds and Parity Bonds. Pursuant to the Resolution, the portion of the projects financed with proceeds of the Series 1997 Bonds and Parity Bonds which is attributable to Sewer Expansion Facilities and Water Expansion Facilities is determined by the Qualified Independent Consultant and set forth in a Project Certificate. The City's Consulting Engineer will set forth in a Project Certificate at the time of delivery of the Series 1997 Bonds that 100%of the Project to be financed with the proceeds of the Series 1997 Bonds are Expansion Facilities. In addition, 100% of the projects financed with the Parity Bonds are Expansion Facilities. Under Florida law, impact fees may be validly imposed against new construction in • order to fund capital improvements which are necessitated by such new construction or for debt service for bonds or other obligations issued for such purposes. Proceeds of the fees must be placed in separate accounts and used only for the capital improvements attributable to the new construction. Pursuant to the Resolution, all Sewer System Development Charges are required, upon receipt, to be deposited in the Sewer System Development Charges Fund and all Water System Development Charges are required, upon receipt, to be deposited in the Water System Development Charges Fund. 4 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 Impact fees have frequently been the subject of litigation in Florida and the City's development charges have not yet been tested in court. There can, therefore, be no assurances that, if challenged, the City's development charges would be found valid. Impact fee revenues fluctuate with the amount of new construction which occurs. There can,therefore, be no assurances that such revenues will not decrease or be eliminated altogether in the event that new-construction,-for whatever reason, might decrease-or_cease.-==== =-==_=-- altogether within the City. Rate Covenant The City covenants in the Resolution to fix, establish, revise from time to time, whenever necessary,maintain and collect always such fees, rates, rentals and other charges for the use of the products, services and facilities of the System which, together with other Pledged Funds, will always provide Revenues in each year sufficient to pay(i) 100% of the aggregate of the amount needed to pay all Costs of Operation and Maintenance as the same shall become due in such year, 100%of all Bond Service Requirement becoming due in such year on the Outstanding Bonds and 100% of all other deposits to be made pursuant to the Resolution and(ii)together with the Sewer System Development Charges in an amount not greater than the Sewer System Development Charges Bond Service Component and the Water System Development Charges in an amount not greater than the Water System Development Charges Bond Service Component, the aggregate of the amount needed to pay the Cost of Operation and Maintenance as the same shall become due in such year, 110% of the Bond Service Requirement coming due in such year on the Outstanding Bonds, and 100%of all other deposits to be made pursuant to the Resolution. Such rates, fees, rental or other charges shall not be reduced so as to render them insufficient to provide revenues for such purposes. Revenues are defined as all income or earnings, including Connection Charges, received by the City or accrued to the City from the ownership, use or operation of the System and all parts thereof, including investment income, if any, earned on any fund or account created pursuant to the Resolution, and on any fund or account established by the City for the System, all as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but "Revenues" shall not include proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the System or any part thereof, condemnation awards or proceeds of insurance received with respect to the System. Further, "Revenues" do not include Sewer System Development Charges or Water System Development Charges or Contributions in Aid of Construction. 5 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25,1996 Reserve Fund The Resolution provides for the establishment and maintenance of a Reserve Fund and provides for separate accounts within the Reserve Fund for each Series of Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution. Upon delivery of the Series 1997 Bonds, the City shall deposit a surety bond issued by AMBAC Indemnity in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement to the separate account in theReserve Fund-established for the benefit=ofthe=Series=1=997 Bonds. Pursuant to the Resolution, the "Reserve Requirement" is defined as the lesser of: (i) the Maximum Debt Service Requirement, (ii) one and one-quarter times the Average Annual Debt Service Requirement, or (iii) such amount as will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Series 1997 Bonds from the gross income of the holders of the - Series 1997 Bonds for purposes of Federal income taxation. The City previously established a separate account in the Reserve Fund for the Parity Bonds which is funded in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for such Bonds. Upon delivery of the Series 1997 Bonds, a surety bond issued by AMBAC Indemnity in an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement for the Parity Bonds will be deposited into the separate account of the Reserve Fund for the Parity Bonds and the funds in such account will be used for the Project. Proceeds of the surety bonds on deposit in each account in the Reserve Fund shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution solely for the purpose of the payment of Amortization Installments, principal of, or interest on the Outstanding Series of Bonds for which such account was established and for no other Series of Bonds. Therefore, proceeds of the surety bond on deposit in the special account established for the benefit of the Series 1997 Bonds may not be used to pay Amortization Installments, principal or interest on the Parity Bonds and any other Series of Additional Bonds. Any withdrawals from an account in the Reserve Fund shall be subsequently restored from the first moneys available in the Revenue Fund, on a pro rata basis as to allaccounts in the Reserve Fund, after all required current payments for Cost of Operation and Maintenance and all current applications and allocations to the Debt Service Fund, including all deficiencies for prior payments, have been made in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the City be required to deposit into any account in the Reserve Fund an amount greater than that amount necessary to ensure that the difference between the Reserve Requirement for the Series of Bonds for which such account was established and the amounts on deposit in such account on the date of calculation shall be restored not later than 60 months after the date of such deficiency (assuming equal monthly payments into such account for such 60 month period). 6 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 Additional Bonds Additional Bonds having a lien on and pledge of the Pledged Funds equal to that of the Series 1997 Bonds and Parity Bonds may be issued by the City to finance the cost of acquiring, constructing or completing an Additional Project or refunding any or all outstanding Bonds or any Subordinated Indebtedness.

The Net Revenues contained in the CPA Certificate may be adjusted upon recommendation by the Consulting Engineers by including: (a) 100%of the additional Net Revenues which, in the opinion of the Consulting Engineers, would have been derived by the City from rate increases adopted before the Additional Bonds are issued if such rate increases had been implemented before the commencement of the period for which Pledged Funds are being certified; and 7Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 (b) 100%of the additional Net Revenues which, in the opinion of the Consulting Engineers, will be derived during the first full 12-month period after the date of placing in service the Additional Project financed with the proceeds of the Additional Bonds.

Subordinated Indebtedness The City may also at any time, or from time to time, issue evidences of indebtedness payable in whole or in part out of the Pledged Funds and which may be secured by a pledge of the Pledged Funds; provided, however, that such pledge shall be, and shall be expressed to be, subordinated in all respects to the pledge of the Pledged Funds created by the Resolution. Investments The Construction Fund, the Revenue Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Reserve Fund and all accounts and subaccounts in such funds shall be continuously secured in the manner by which the deposit of public funds are authorized to be secured by the laws of the State of Florida. Moneys on deposit in the Construction Fund, the Debt Service Fund, the Reserve Fund(except the reserve account for the Series 1997 Bonds), the Revenue Fund, the Sewer System Development Charges Fund, the Water System Development Charges Fund and all accounts and subaccounts in such funds may be invested and reinvested by the City and as directed by the City in Permitted Investments maturing no later than the date on which the moneys therein will be needed.

Any and all income received from the investment • of moneys in the Construction Fund shall remain on deposit in such fund until the amounts required to complete the Project are on deposit therein, and thereafter shall be transferred to the Revenue Fund. Nothing contained in the Resolution shall prevent any Permitted Investments acquired as investments of or security for funds held under the Resolution from being issued or held in book-entry form on the books of the Department of Treasury of the United States. 8 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 Other Covenants Pursuant to the Resolution, the City has additionally covenanted: (i) not to render or cause to be rendered either free of charge or for a nominal charge to any person, firm or corporation,public or private, the services and commodities of the System, provided the City may, on behalf of the City or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation, pay for such facilities, services and commodities__with_legally-available-funds of the-City,:other-than = Pledged Funds, (ii)to the full extent permitted by law, not to grant any franchise, license or permit for the construction or operation or any competitive water and sewer facilities in the territorial area serviced by the City which the City determines will adversely affect Revenues, and(iii)to diligently enforce and collect the rates, fees and charges for the service and facilities of the System.

THE CITY The City of Ocoee, Florida was incorporated in 1925. It is bounded on the west by Winter Garden, Florida, and on the south by Windermere, Florida, and has a land area of approximately 20.5 square miles,making it the second largest city in land area of the thirteen cities in Orange County. As of April 1, 1996, the population of the City was estimated at 19,261, which ranks the City third in population of the cities in Orange County. 1,7 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 The City is govemed by a Commission-Manager form of government. The four City Commissioners and the Mayor are elected on staggered two-year terms of office, who in turn appoint the City Manager. History and Organization The City of Ocoee, Florida, is a municipal corporation created under the laws of the State of Florida. The current Mayor and commissioners, the years in which their terms expire, and their principal occupations are as follows: Commissioner Expiration of Term Occupation S. Scott Vandergrift, Mayor February 1997 Real Estate Leon "Rusty" Johnson February 1997 Mail Carrier Jim Gleason February 1998 Business Owner Scott A. Glass February 1997 Attorney Scott Anderson February 1998 Pilot For additional information concerning the City see Appendix A hereto: THE SYSTEM Introduction The Resolution defines the System as, collectively, the Water System and the Sewer System of the City. The Resolution defines the Water System as the complete water system now owned, operated and maintained by the City, together with any and all improvements, extensions and additions thereto hereafter constructed or acquired, together with all lands or interests therein, including plants, buildings, machinery, franchises, pipes, mains, fixtures, equipments and all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now or hereafter used in connection therewith. The Resolution defines the Sewer System as the complete sewer system now owned, operated and maintained by the City, together with any and all improvements, extensions and additions thereto hereafter constructed or acquired, together with all lands or interests therein, including plants, buildings, machinery, franchises, pipes, mains, fixtures, equipment and all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now or hereafter used in connection therewith. The City initiated central water service in the early 1980's with construction of the Kissimmee Avenue Water Treatment Plant. The City expanded its water treatment service 18 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 in 1986 by adding the Forest Oaks Water Treatment Plant. The newest water plant (South Water Treatment Plant)was added to the system in 1992 and the Kissimmee Avenue Plant was removed from service in 1994 due to age and obsolescence. The City initiated central wastewater in 1987 with the acquisition of a private utility named Prima Vista Utilities. Initially the City provided water service to 650 equivalent residential units ("ERUs"). See "SECURITY AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT FOR THE SERIES 1997 BONDS - Development Charges"-for a description of equivalent residential units and the-values - assigned by the City for an ERU of water capacity and an ERU of sewer capacity. At the present time, the City provides water and wastewater service to approximately 9,950 and 3,701 ERUs, respectively, located both within and outside the City's corporate limits. Of the water customers, approximately 7,861 ERUs are residential and approximately 2,089 ERUs are commercial. Of the wastewater customers, approximately 2,750 ERUs are residential and 951 ERUs are commercial. The following tables show the historic growth of the System's customers. The following table sets forth the total number of ERUs for the past five years: Historic Number of Water System ERUs Fiscal Year Total Water ERUs 1996 9,950 1995 9,437 1994 8,979 1993 8,505 1992 8,044 Source: City of Ocoee. Q:\03177\B.4 19 November 25, 1996 The following table sets forth the total number of sewer ERUs for the past five years: Historic Number of Sewer System ERUs January 1 Total Sewer ERUs 1996 3,701 1995 3,307 1994 2,917 1993 2,501 • 1992 2,117 Source: City of Ocoee. Additional water and sewer customers derive principally from new developments constructed within the City's System service area. The City's municipal code requires all new developments within its System service area to connect to the wastewater system in accordance with Florida law. Pursuant to Florida law, a property owner utilizing a properly functioning septic system that can be reasonably connected to a wastewater system must connect to such system within one year of being notified by the owner of the wastewater system of the availability of the wastewater facilities. The owner of a wastewater system may, with the approval of the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services, waive the mandatory connection requirement if it finds that mandatory connection is not required for public health reasons. [The City is presently considering the public health effects of septic system users within its System service area, and will take no action to either enforce or seek a waiver of its right to require mandatory connection until a public health determination is made.] Water and Sewer Territorial Agreements The Water System provides potable water to the City's water service area and the Sewer System provides central wastewater service to the City's wastewater service area. The City's water service area and its wastewater service area comprise approximately 15 square miles and their boundaries, which include approximately 75%of the City's corporate limits and certain unincorporated portions of Orange County, Florida(the "County"). The City's water service area is specifically described in the Water Service Territorial Agreement (Contract No. W-88-06) dated November 14, 1988 between the City and Orange County, Florida (the "County"), as amended (the "Water Territorial Agreement"). Pursuant to the Water Territorial Agreement, the City and Orange County have agreed that a designated portion of the City and unincorporated Orange County will be the exclusive water service i 20 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 area of the City and that the County will not provide water service within such areas. The City's designated service area may be amended from time to time based on future circumstances upon the mutual consent of both parties. The parties also agreed to permit each other to interconnect their water systems and to provide wholesale water service to the connecting party at rates to be mutually agreed upon. The term of the Water Territorial Agreement began on November 14, 1988 and is effective for a period of 30 years (the "Initial Term"), with automatic-renewals-thereafter-for-one year-periods. The--Water-Territorial Agreement may be canceled by either party after the Initial Term upon providing the other party with six months advance written notice. The City's wastewater service area is specifically described in that certain Orange County/Prima Vista Utility Company, Inc. Sewer Service Territorial Agreement(Contract No. S-87-8)dated June 8, 1987 between the Prima Vista Utility Company, Inc. (the "Utility") and the County, which was assigned by the Utility pursuant to that certain Assignment of Sewer System Territorial Agreement dated December 30, 1987 (collectively, the "Sewer Territorial Agreement"). Under the Sewer Territorial Agreement, the City and Orange County agreed that a designated portion of the City and unincorporated Orange County will be the exclusive sewer service area of the City and that the County will not provide sewer service within such areas. The City's designated sewer service area may be amended from time to time based on future circumstances upon the mutual consent of both parties. The parties also agreed to permit each other to interconnect their sewer systems and to provide wholesale sewer service to the connecting party at rates to be mutually agreed upon. The term of the Sewer Territorial Agreement began on June 8, 1987 and is effective for a period of 30 years (the "Initial Term"), with automatic renewals thereafter for one year periods. The Water Territorial Agreement may be canceled by either party after the Initial Term upon providing the other party with six months advance written notice. Administration The System is administered by the City's Utility Director/City Engineer, who reports directly to the City Manager. The Utility Director/City Engineer is James W. Shira, who has been an employee of the City since 1989. Mr. Shira is responsible for overseeing System construction and for managing the System. Mr. Shira is assisted by the Assistant Utilities Director/Assistant City Engineer, David A. Wheeler. Both Mr. Shira and Mr. Wheeler are professional engineers, registered to practice engineering in the State of Florida. Mr. Shira is also assisted by other City departments, such as the Finance Department, the Planning Department, the Personnel Department and the Public Works Department. The City also employs a Utility Superintendent, Robert Holland. Mr. Holland has been employed by the City since April, 1988. He possesses a Class "A" wastewater license and a Class "C" drinking water license. Mr. Holland is responsible for the overall daily operations of the • 21 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 System facilities and personnel and he reports directly to Mr. Shira. Mr. David Gosnell is the Chief Water Plant Operator and has been employed by the City since October, 1983. Mr. Gosnell possesses a Class "A" drinking water license. Mr. Gosnell is in direct charge of all personnel and facilities related to production and treatment of potable water and he reports directly to Mr. Holland. Mr. Fred Ostrander is the City's Chief Wastewater Plant Operator and has been employed by the City since December, 1987. He possesses a Class "B" wastewater license and a class "C" drinking water license. Mr.-Ostrander-is-in-direct charge -of all personnel and facilities related to collection, transmission of wastewater, as well as distribution and disposal of treated effluent and he reports directly to Mr. Holland. Employees The System employs 37 persons, not including administrative support from other City departments. Twenty persons are employed by the City to service the Water System and 17 persons are employed by the City to service the Sewer System. The employees of the System are not represented by a union. The City considers its relationship with its employees as amicable. The City contributes to a single employer defined benefit pension plan and trust(the "Pension Plan"). The contribution made by the City is allocated to the Water and Wastewater Fund based on covered payroll of employees whose salaries are charged to the Water and Wastewater Fund. Participation in the Pension Plan is a condition of employment. Benefits fully vest on reaching five years of service. Benefit provisions and all other requirements are established by City ordinance. Members of the Pension Plan are required to make regular contributions to the plan in the amount of 5%of their salary. The City is required to make quarterly contributions to the Pension Plan equal to the difference in each year, between the total aggregate member contributions and the total cost as shown by the most recent actuarial valuation of the Pension Plan. The City offers its employees a single employer deferred compensation plan created in accordance with Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"). The Deferred Compensation Plan is voluntary and any employee may elect to participate. The Deferred Compensation Plan permits employees to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death, or unforeseeable emergency. Q:\031771B.4 22 November 25, 1996 Water System The City receives its raw water through withdrawals from five existing City owned deep wells located at each of the City's three existing water treatment plants, which draw water from the upper Floridan Aquifer. The City currently has two additional deep wells under construction which will also draw raw water from the lower Floridan Aquifer. Raw water is treated at each of the-City's-water treatment plants by a process-that includes-aeration for removal of hydrogen sulfide, disinfection by free residual chlorination and fluoridation. Treated water is routinely tested for bacteriological and chemical parameters in an outside certified laboratory to ensure compliance with applicable state and Federal regulations. o Treated water is pumped to three water storage tanks located at each of the existing water treatment plants and then discharged to the System customers through the water distribution system. The City's three water treatment plants are briefly described below: 1. Jamela Plant. The Jamela Plant is located in the northern portion of the City's service area at Wurst Road and Jamela Drive. The Jamela Plant is the oldest water treatment plant in the Water System and it provides treated water to the northern portion of the City's water service area. Raw water is supplied to the Jamela Plant from two of the City's deep wells, each of which are equipped with a vertical turbine low service pump that are rated at 550 gallons per minute ("gpm") and 2,000 gpm, respectively. Raw water is treated in a 500,000 gallon concrete ground storage tank and discharged into the water distribution system and into a 500,000 steel elevated storage tank by three high service pumps. Two of the high service pumps are rated at 1,000 gpm and one is rated at 1,200 gpm. The Jamela plant is also equipped with a 250 kilowatt standby engine generator which is capable of operating the 2,000 gpm well and a high service pump in the event of a loss of primary power. The Jamela plant is not suitable for future expansion and upgrade. The Jamela Drive plant has its high service pumps and associated electrical panels located below grade in a concrete structure that was previously used as a water storage tank. Also, the existing elevated storage tank at this plant cannot be taken off-line for inspection or repair due to a frozen valve on the pipe which serves both to fill and empty the tank. Due to the deteriorated condition and high maintenance requirements of the Jamela plant, Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc., the Consulting Engineers to the City, has recommended that the Jamela plant be removed from service upon the completion of improvements to the Forest Oaks plant and the South plant. The City anticipates removing the Jamela plant from service in 1998. - • 23 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 2. Forest Oaks Plant. The Forest Oaks plant is located in the northeast portion of the City's service area along Hackney-Prairie Road. The Forest Oaks plant has been in service for ten years and provides treated water to customers in the City's northern water service area. Raw water is supplied to the Forest Oaks plant from two of the City's deep wells, each of which are equipped with a vertical turbine low service pump that are rated at 700 gpm and 2,000 gpm, respectively. A third deep well is presently under construction and will-be equipped with a vertical turbine engine rated at 3,500 gpm. Raw water is treated in a 400,000 gallon concrete ground storage tank and discharged into the water distribution system by three high service pumps. Two of the high service pumps are rated at 800 gpm and one is rated at 1,500.gpm. -The Forest Oaks plant is equipped with a 275 kilowatt standby engine generator which is capable of operating both deep wells, the 1,500 gpm high service pump and the 800 gpm high service pump in the event of a loss of primary power. 3. South Plant. The South Plant is located in the Southern portion of the City's service area approximately one mile south of State Road 50 and 1/2 mile east of Maguire Road. The South plant was constructed in 1992 and provides treated water to customers in the City's southern water service area. Raw water is supplied to the South plant from a deep well, which is equipped with a vertical turbine low service pump that are rated at 3,500 gpm. A second deep well is currently under construction and will be equipped with a vertical low service pump rated at 3,00 gpm. Raw water is treated in a 670,000 gallon concrete ground storage tank and discharged into the water distribution system by four high service pumps. One of the high service pumps is rated at 370 gpm, two are rated at 540 gpm and the fourth one is rated at 1,350 gpm. The South plant is equipped with a 500 kilowatt standby engine generator which is capable of operating the entire South plant in the event of a loss of primary power. The combined maximum permitted pumping capacity of the three plants is approximately 3.342 million gallons per day ("mgd"). The current average monthly production is approximately 3.0 mgd. The Water System currently serves approximately 8,000 water customers, representing approximately 9,950 ERU's, with an additional 3,519 ERU's reserved through various developer agreements. These ERU's represent approximately 1.1 mgd of reserved capacity. The water consumptive use permits for the five City owned deep wells allow 3.342 mgd average day withdrawal and 6.684 mgd maximum day withdrawal. As shown in the table below, the average daily flow for the Water System in Fiscal Year 1996 was 3.912 mgd. The City's distribution system includes approximately 175 miles of localized piping ranging in size from 6 to 16 inches in diameter. The distribution system is divided into a 24 Q:\031771B.4 November 25, 1996 northern piping network and a southern piping network, with the northern and southern isolated by a number of closed valves because of significant elevation differences between the central northern portion of the System and the remainder of the System. The City's water distribution system extends to all but the recently annexed northwestern portion of the City.

See "APPENDIX B — ENGINEERING REPORT OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC." for additional information concerning the Water System. Sewer System The Sewer System currently consists of approximately 40 miles of sewage collection system piping, one wastewater treatment plant, 32 pumping stations, and 280 acres of property available for effluent disposal. Effluent disposal property consists of 40 acres of property located at the wastewater treatment plant and the City's 240 acre remote effluent disposal site, which the City has leased to Forest Lake Club, Ltd. and which has been converted into the Forest Lake Golf Course (the "Golf Course"). The- City owns, operates and maintains approximately 40 miles of wastewater collection system,which utilizes a combination of gravity and force main systems to collect and transport wastewater to the wastewater treatment plant. The gravity wastewater collection system consists of PVC pipes ranging from 6 to 15 inches in diameter. The force main wastewater collection system consists of PVC and ductile iron pipes ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. The City owns, operates and maintains 32 pump stations that are used for wastewater collection and discharge. The wastewater treatment plant is located at 1800 A.D. Mims Road, on a 128-acre site and was purchased from the Utility in 1988. The wastewater treatment plant is a poured in place concrete structure and utilizes a new and efficient Kruger Treatment Process 25 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 (biodenitrofication) that results in substantial reduction of operation and maintenance expenses. The wastewater plant is equipped with tertiary filters, chemical feed and high- level disinfection facilities. The wastewater treatment plant has an estimated useful life of 50 years. The wastewater plant is staffed by operators with class "B" and "C" wastewater licenses in accordance with state laws and DEP rules. The operation of the wastewater plant is highly automated and is computer controlled. The wastewater plant is staffed 8 hours per day, 5 days per week. Operational anomalies are detected by the automated process control system, and plant personnel are automatically notified by pager that a fault condition has occurred. This high level of control enabled DEP to issue a permit based on 8 hours per day on-site staffing rather than the standard 16 hours per day. The wastewater treatment plant is also capable of producing reclaimed water. Under normal operating conditions, all of the reclaimed water produced by the wastewater treatment plant is discharged to the Golf • Course. The current designated treatment capacity at the waste water treatment plant is 3.0 mgd,with a permitted treatment capacity limited by the current permitted effluent disposal capacity of 1.5 mgd. The current average daily flow at the plant is approximately 0.9 mgd, equivalent to approximately 3,701 ERU's, generated by approximately 3,100 existing customers. There are approximately 3,840 ERU's of capacity reserved through various developer agreements. These ERU's represent approximately 1.1 mgd of reserved capacity. Treated wastewater is transported to the Golf Course through a 12 inch low pressure piping system. Effluent disposal is currently accomplished by: (1) irrigating the Golf Course with reclaimed water from the wastewater treatment plant (total capacity of 1.0 mgd); (2) discharging effluent to two on-site percolation ponds located at the site of the wastewater treatment plant(total capacity of 0.5 mgd); and (3) discharging effluent to two percolation ponds located at the Golf Course (total capacity of 1.0 mgd). 26 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 The following table sets forth the historic wastewater treatment flows from the wastewater facilities: Historic Wastewater Treatment Plant Flows Fiscal Average Daily Year Flow(mgd) 1996 0.9466 1995 0.9430 1994 0.8215 1993 0.8114 1992 0.6750 Source: City of Ocoee.

Water and Wastewater Rates The System's rates structure includes a base facility charge and a volumetric consumption charge. Water and wastewater rates were adjusted on a System wide basis in 1992 following preparation of detailed cost of service rate studies. Historically, the City has adjusted water and sewer rates to meet increased revenue needs for the incurrence of new debt or to meet increased operating expenses. Because much of the System was originally designed and constructed to meet anticipated future increases in service demands. Since 1991, the monthly combined water and sewer charge for the typical residential customer who uses 10,000 gallons per month has increased from $40.56 to $41.25 per month.

Q:\03177\B.4 29 November 25, 1996 Revenue and Maintenance Fees; Impact Fees; Other Charges and Deposits The City charges its customers a water and wastewater capital charge of$966 and $2,865,respectively. These charges are derived using a marginal/incremental or standards driven methodology, which are based on the recovery of a new customer's proportionate share of the present value of capacity-related capital projects during a base period. The City imposes on customers holding water capacity an annual Revenue and Maintenance Fee of$93 per ERU or a monthly Revenue and Maintenance Fee of$9 per ERU. The Revenue and Maintenance Fee is paid beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the date that the water capacity is acquired until a customer connects to the Water System and begins paying the rates set forth above. The City also imposes on customers holding sewer capacity an annual Revenue and Maintenance Fee of$121 per ERU or a monthly Revenue and Maintenance Fee of$13 per ERU. The Revenue and Maintenance Fee is paid beginning on the 12-month anniversary of the date a sewer capacity is acquired until a customer connects to the City Sewer System and begins paying the rates set forth above. B.M.L. Investments, a Florida , has acquired and holds a substantial portion of such water and sewer capacity and pays approximately one half of the Revenue and Maintenance fees presently received by the City. Collection Practices; Delinquencies All residential and commercial customer meters are read and billed monthly. The bills become delinquent 20 days after the billing date. At such time a $5 penalty is assessed. Utility service is terminated if payment of all charges and penalties is not received within 55 days from the billing date. Restoration of service requires full payment of all current utility charges,penalties and a restoration charge of$20. The customer may also be required to pay an additional deposit to restore service. Accounts which remain delinquent may be forwarded to authorized collection agencies and deposits may be applied to pay such delinquencies. 3 O Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 Accounts receivable and allowance for estimated uncollectible account balances for the past five fiscal years are as follows: Fiscal Accounts Allowance for Estimated Year Receivable Uncollectible Accounts 1996 $802,400 $76,000 1995 677,327 101,000 1994 651,492 79,000 1993 649,308 53,100 1992 310,528 39,500 Source: City of Ocoee, Florida. Regulation The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection("DEP"),promulgate various regulations governing operation of the System. Regulations deal primarily with the quality of effluent discharged from sewage treatment facilities, the disposal of sludge generated by the sewage treatment plants, the discharge of pollutants into the groundwater and the nature of waste material discharged into the collection facilities. Associated with the regulations are various monitoring and reporting requirements. The City's sewage treatment plant is properly permitted and does not have a history of permit violations. The City is not facing any EPA or DEP mandated schedules for elimination of discharges, or any sewage related administrative orders or consent decree decisions. The System currently is in compliance with all state and Federal regulations relating to its wastewater treatment facilities and process and the City does not anticipate that it will have any problems remaining in continued compliance with the DEP use permit. In addition to regulation of the sewage treatment facilities, EPA and DEP regulate the quality of the System's water. The City presently is in compliance with all applicable regulations relating to water quality. The consumptive use of water is administered by the St. Johns River Water Management District (the "District") through a consumptive use permitting system, pursuant to which water resources are divided among the permitted consumers. Pursuant to Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, the District issues consumptive use permits for the various wellfields existing within its jurisdiction, including the wellfields that supply water for the System. The provisions of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, and the regulations promulgated thereunder provide for the issuance of a permit for new uses if the 31 QB.4 November:\031771 25, 1996 proposed use of water (1) is reasonable and beneficial, (2) will not interfere with any presently existing legal uses of water, and(3) is consistent with the public interest. Presently, all applicable consumptive use permits for the water drawn for the System are in place, as well as the consumptive use permits for the two deep wells currently under construction. Such permits are valid until 2006. and provide the City with an increasing allocation of groundwater supplies. THE PROJECT Introduction In order to meet the future capacity demands on the System through the year 2016, the City has established certain long-range planning procedures. The City commissioned a Water, Sewer and Reuse Master Plan(the "Master Plan") in order to specifically determine the potential future capacity demands on the System through the year 2016. The City has also established a long-range capital improvement plan in the form of the Project pursuant to which certain improvements will be made to the System in order to meet future capacity demands through the year.2016. The Project includes improvements to both the Water System and the Sewer System. The estimated total cost of the Project is $10,813,000, of which$4,973,000 will be used for Water System improvements and $5,840,000 will be used for Sewer System improvements. The cost of the Project will be paid for or financed from the following sources: Existing funds from the City's Renewal and Replacement Account and Water and Sewer Capital Account $ Funds from the separate account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund established for the holders of the Parity Bonds Proceeds of the Series 1997 Bonds Total Sources Capital Improvements to Water System Proposed capital improvements to the Water System emphasize the construction of enhancements to the Forest Oaks and South water treatment plants and the expansion of the water distribution system. The total estimated cost of such improvements is $4,973,000, as follows: 32 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 Improvements to Forest Oaks plant $ 553,000 Improvements to South plant 648,000 • Enhancements to distribution system 3,123,000 Engineering/Inspection Fee 649,000 $4,973,000 Capital Improvements to Sewer System Proposed capital improvements to the Sewer System emphasize the need to expand the capacity of the existing effluent disposal system to equal the capacity of the wastewater treatment facility. Pursuant to the Master Plan, an expanded reclaimed water system and the initiation of a reclaimed water retrofit program were identified as a cost effective means of • expanding the capacity of the City's effluent disposal system. The retrofit program will provide reclaimed water to existing developments located adjacent to the major reclaimed water transmission mains. The City has also identified the expansion of the effluent disposal system at the Golf Course as a means of expanding the effluent disposal capacity of the Sewer System. The City proposes purchasing additional undeveloped acreage near the Golf Course in order to achieve such expansion. The capital improvements plan also identifies the need to construct a modem maintenance facility to provide a centrally located maintenance facility for the System as it is expanded. The total estimated cost of the expansion of the effluent disposal system is $5,840,000, as follows: Reclaimed Water Program $2,790,000 Retrofit Program 1,050,000 Effluent Disposal Expansion 1,500,000 Maintenance Facility 500,000 $5,840,000 SUMMARY OF CONSULTING ENGINEER'S CONCLUSIONS Professional Engineering Consultants, Inc. are the Consulting Engineers for the City with respect to the System. Based on its general familiarity with and review of the System as indicated in the Consulting Engineer's Report attached hereto as Appendix B, which Report should be read in its entirety in conjunction with the following, the Consulting Engineers have concluded that: 1. The System is in good condition and has been operated and maintained in accordance with standard utility industry practices, and provides good, reliable and cost-effective water and sewer service to the customers of the System. . 33 November mber 25, 1996 2. The System is operated in compliance with current Federal, State and local regulatory requirements. All regulatory permits necessary for the operation of the System are current (renewal in progress) and in good standing. 3. The Project is necessary and provides water and sewer service for new growth. The average annual growth rate of 350 ERUs is reasonable and valid during the 20-year planning period. The -Project is technically sound and conforms:-to proven and industry accepted engineering practice. The Project will provide for water-and sewer system improvements and expansion which will meet Federal, State and local regulatory requirements and projected growth-related water and sewer demands for a 20-year period. _ 4. The proposed Project is or shall be designed in accordance with accepted engineering standards using proven conventional technology. The proposed improvements have or shall be designed with a high level of sensitivity to concerns held by nearby residents regarding aesthetic issues such as odor control, noise, lighting and utility. 5. The City's management and professional staff are well qualified and certified to manage, operate and maintain the System. 6. It is reasonable to assume that all required regulatory permits and/or governmental approvals shall be obtained in a timely manner for regulatory compliance and will be obtained prior to construction of the proposed Project and subsequently all necessary operating permits will be obtained for the completed capital improvements. 7. No material charges have occurred in the Project which will have a negative impact on the cost estimate for successful completion of the Project. 8. Proceeds from the Series 1997 Bonds will be sufficient for design, construction and implementation of the Project as described in the Report. 9. The useful life of the Project is in excess of the weighted life of the Series 1997 Bonds. 10. The adopted water and sewer rates are reasonable and sufficient to meet projected system operating expenses, estimate project cost recovery, debt service coverage for Series 1997 Bonds and renewal and replacement contributions. 11. Based on the analysis and evaluation contained in the Report, the capital fmancing of the City's proposed Project is economically feasible. .

Neither the creation,- organization or-existence-of the-City,nor-the-title of-the -- - --- present Mayor or commissioners or other officials of the City to their respective offices is being contested. The City experiences routine litigation and claims incidental to the--conduct of its • affairs and the operating of the System. The City carries substantial insurance for these exposures, and pending claims are defended by and, if necessary, are anticipated to be paid by the insurance carriers. There is no cause either pending or, to the best knowledge of the City, threatened against the City which may materially adversely affect the ability of the City to pay the Series 1997 Bonds or adversely affect the general financial condition of the City. LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters incident to the validity of the Series 1997 Bonds and the issuance thereof by the City are subject to the approval of-Bryant, Miller and Olive, P.A., Tampa, Florida, Bond Counsel, whose approving opinion will be printed on the Series 1997 Bonds. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the City by Foley& Lardner, Orlando, Florida, City Attorney. Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by its counsel, Nabors, Giblin&Nickerson, P.A., Tampa, Florida. TAX EXEMPTION General The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, establishes certain requirements which must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Series 1997 Bonds in order that interest on the Series 1997 Bonds be and remain excluded from gross income for purposes of Federal income taxation. Non-compliance may cause interest on the Series 1997 Bonds to be included in Federal gross income retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 1997 Bonds,regardless of the date on which such non-compliance occurs or is ascertained. These requirements include, but are not limited to, provisions which prescribe yield and other limits within which the proceeds of the Series 1997 Bonds and the other amounts are 3 7 Q:103177\B.4 November 25, 1996 to be invested and require that certain investment earnings on the foregoing must be rebated on a periodic basis to the Treasury Department of the United States. The City has covenanted in the Resolution to comply with such requirements in order to maintain the exclusion from Federal gross income of the interest on the Series 1997 Bonds. In the opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming compliance with the aforementioned covenants, under existing laws, regulations,judicial decisions-and-rulings;:interest-on the - - Series 1997 Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of Federal income taxation. Interest on the Series 1997 Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the Federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals or corporations; however, interest on the Series 1997 Bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax when any Series 1997 - - Bond is held by a corporation. The alternative minimum taxable income of a corporation • must be increased by 75%of the excess of such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income (before this adjustment and the alternative tax net operating loss deduction). "Adjusted current earnings" will include interest on the Series 1997 Bonds. The Series 1997 Bonds are exempt from all present intangible personal property taxes imposed pursuant to Chapter 199, Florida Statutes. Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding the Federal income tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or disposition of Series 1997 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of Series 1997 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of Series 1997 Bonds may result in collateral Federal income tax consequences, including (1) the denial of a deduction for interest on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry Series 1997 Bonds, (2) the reduction of the loss reserve deduction for property and casualty insurance companies by 15% of certain items, including interest on the Series 1997 Bonds, (3) for taxable years beginning before January 1, 1996, the inclusion of interest on Series 1997 Bonds in. "modified alternative minimum taxable income" for purposes of the environmental tax imposed on corporations, (4) the inclusion of interest on the Series 1997 Bonds in earnings of certain foreign corporations doing business in the United States for purposes of a branch profits tax, (5) the inclusion of interest on Series 1997 Bonds in passive income subject to Federal income taxation of certain Subchapter S corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close of the taxable year, and(6)the inclusion of interest on the Series 1997 Bonds in "modified adjusted gross income" by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits for purposes of determining whether such benefits are included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes. PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SERIES 1997 BONDS AND THE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL • 3 g Q:1031771B.4 November 25,1996 AND CORPORATE BONDHOLDERS. PROSPECTIVE BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD. During recent years legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress, and in some cases enacted, that altered certain Federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership of obligations that are similar to the Series 1997 Bonds. In some cases these proposals have contained provisions that altered these-consequences-on a-retroactive basis. Such alteration of Federal tax consequences may have affected the market value of obligations similar to the Series 1997 Bonds. From time to time, legislative proposals are pending which could.have an effect on both the Federal tax consequences resulting from ownership of Series ,1997 Bonds and their market value. No assurance can be given that legislative proposals will not be introduced or enacted that would or might apply to, or have an adverse effect upon, the Series 1997 Bonds. Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount Under the Code, the difference between the maturity amounts of the Series 1997 Bonds maturing in the years through , inclusive, and in the year and the initial offering price to the public, excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers, at which price a substantial amount of Series 1997 Bonds of the same maturity was sold is "original issue discount." Original issue discount will accrue over the term of such Series 1997 Bonds at a constant interest rate compounded periodically. A purchaser who acquires such Series 1997 Bonds in the initial offering at a price equal to the initial offering price thereof to the public will be treated as receiving an amount of interest excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes equal to the original issue discount accruing during the period he holds such Series 1997 Bonds, and will increase his adjusted basis in such Series 1997 Bonds by the amount of such accruing discount for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such Series 1997 Bonds. The Federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale or other disposition of Series 1997 Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those above. Owners of such Series 1997 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the precise determination for Federal income tax purposes of interest accrued upon sale or other disposition of Series 1997 Bonds and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of Series 1997 Bonds. 3 9 Q:\03177\B.4 November 25, 1996 UNDERWRITING William R.

Transportation The Orlando MSA is primarily served by Orlando International Airport ("OIA"), which is the 18th busiest domestic airport facility and-the 27th busiest world airport facility. OIA is the eighth largest port of entry for international visitors to the continental United States, accommodating more than 2.5 million passengers on international flights from Europe, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and Central and South America. Air passengers have increased from 18.4 million in 1991 to 22 million in 1994. OIA is the second largest airport in the country in terms of property size, ensuring room for continued expansion well into the next century. Thirty-one scheduled carriers serve OIA with 1,050 departures and arrivals daily, including direct and international flights. More than 100 U.S. and international cities are served by direct and nonstop flights from OIA, the most of any airport in Florida. In addition to scheduled airlines, more than 30 scheduled charter companies serve the Orlando MSA. The Orlando MSA is also served by three general aviation airports: Orlando Executive Airport, Orlando Sanford Airport and Kissimmee Municipal Airport. The Orlando MSA is also served by 35 common-carrier truck lines, most of which have local terminals and several parcel delivery and package express services covering Orange County and neighboring communities. Greyhound, Gray Line, Superior and Trailways Bus Lines offer charter, express and passenger services. Both passenger and freight rail systems provide service to the area. Amtrak currently operates two trains daily between New York and South Florida which travel through Metro Orlando. Amtrak stops at four stations in the area: Sanford, Winter Park, Orlando and Kissimmee. Rail passenger stations in the area are among the busiest in the southeast, with approximately 400 Amtrak passengers arriving and departing daily. CSX Transportation moves freight between north and south Atlantic points and connects with all major rail lines in the United States. Three major limited-access highways bisect the area: (1) Interstate 4 runs east and west across Florida from Daytona Beach and Interstate 95 on the Atlantic coast of Florida to Tampa and Interstate 75 near the Gulf coast of Florida; (2) Florida's Turnpike runs north and south from Interstate 75 near Ocala, Florida to Miami; and (3) Interstate 75, which extends through Georgia and the midwestem part of the United States. Other highways A-7 serving the area include U.S. Highways 441, 17-92, 27 and 192, as well as numerous state roadways and toll roads. The Bee Line Expressway(State Road 528) provides direct limited access to Kennedy Space Center, Port Canaveral and the beaches along the Atlantic coast of Florida. The East-West Expressway (State Road 408) expedites traffic through the metropolitan Orlando and is connected by full interchanges with Interstate 4 and with Florida's Turnpike. To address road transportation needs, four mid-Florida county governments have combined efforts to construct a 100-mile, limited-access beltway encircling metropolitan Orlando called the Central Florida Greeneway(the "GreeneWay"). More than half of the GreeneWay is in use. Most recently, portions were completed to Aloma Avenue and U.S. Highway 17-92 and from the Bee Line just east of Orlando International Airport to near State Road 536 in Osceola County's busy Disney area. The GreeneWay extension to I-4 west of U.S. Highway 192 is under construction and is slated for completion by the end of 1996. Other portions of the GreeneWay, including those in the western section of the region, are being planned. Public transportation is provided by 204 Lynx buses,run by the nationally recognized transportation system serving Orange, Seminole and Osceola Counties. Included in its regularly served 47 routes are stops at shopping centers, government complexes, schools, financial institutions, industrial and commercial centers and tourist attractions. The FreeBee, a no-cost bus service for those getting around in downtown Orlando, is also available. Another transit route circulating downtown begins construction this year.
