$13,000,000 - General Obligation Education Technology Notes, Series 2012 Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12 Bernalillo and Sandoval Counties, New Mexico

INTRODUCTION Thank you for your interest in learning more about the $13,000,000 Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12, Bernalillo and Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, General Obligation Education Technology Notes, Series 2012 (the “Notes”). This Official Statement will tell you about the Notes, their security and the risks involved in an investment in the Notes.

Although the District has approved this Official Statement, it does not intend it to substitute for competent investment advice, tailored for your situation.

The Issuer

The District is a political subdivision of the State of New Mexico (the "State") organized for the purpose of operating and maintaining an educational program for the school-age children residing within its boundaries. The District encompasses almost all of Bernalillo County and a portion of Sandoval County. Both counties are centrally located in New Mexico. The District’s boundaries encompass all of the City of Albuquerque and the Villages of Tijeras, Los Ranchos and Corrales in Sandoval County. The District's 2012 preliminary assessed valuation is $14,408,740,997. The District had an enrollment (actual headcount) of 89,752 students for the 2011-12 school year and 11,352 students attended charter schools in the District area. See "THE DISTRICT."

Security

The Notes are general obligations of the District and paid from ad valorem taxes that are levied against all taxable property within the District without limitation as to rate or amount. Neither the State nor the County has any responsibility to pay the debt service on the Notes.

Limited Role of Auditors

This document presents information from District records and other sources including the audited financial statements of the District for the year ended June 30, 2011, contained in Appendix B.

Moss Adams LLP, the District’s independent auditor, has not been engaged to perform and has not performed, since the date of the report included herein, any procedures on the financial statements addressed in that report. Moss Adams also has not performed any procedures relating to this Official Statement.

Purpose

THE NOTES New Mexico law enables the District to issue the Notes (Section 6-15A-1 et seq., NMSA, 1978).

General Terms and Description of the Notes

The Notes will bear interest at the rates and mature in the amounts and on the dates shown on the front cover of this Official Statement. All Notes are fully registered in denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof in conformance with the Constitution and laws of the State and pursuant to the Note Resolution. Note payments are made to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), and DTC will then remit the payments to its participants for disbursement to the beneficial owners of the Notes. See “Book-Entry-Only System” in Appendix D.

Note Registrar and Paying Agent

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (or successor in function) will serve as Paying Agent/Registrar for the Notes.

Optional Prior Redemption

The Notes are not subject to optional redemption by the District prior to their stated maturity date.

Record Date

The Record Date for the Notes with respect to any interest payment date is the 15th day of the month (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the interest payment date. The person in whose name any Note is registered on any Record Date with respect to any interest payment date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such interest payment date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such interest payment date.

3

Transfers and Exchanges

Registered Note owners may surrender and transfer their Notes, in person or by duly authorized attorney, at the office of the Paying Agent and Registrar. They must complete an approved transfer form and pay any taxes or governmental charges which apply to the transfer. As explained below, while DTC is the securities depository for the Notes, it will be the sole registered owner of the Notes.

SECURITY AND REMEDIES The Notes are general obligations of the District payable from general (ad valorem) property taxes that may be levied against all taxable property within the District without limitation of rate or amount.

The District must use all of the property taxes collected for debt service, and any other legally available money, to pay the debt service on the Notes and other outstanding debt.

Various New Mexico laws and constitutional provisions apply to the assessment and collection of ad valorem property taxes. There is no guarantee that there will not be any changes that would have a material effect on the District.

Limitations of Remedies

There is no provision for acceleration of maturity of the principal of the Notes in the event of a default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes. Consequently, remedies available to the owners of the Notes may need to be enforced from year to year.

The enforceability of the rights and remedies of the owners of the Notes, and the obligations incurred by the District in issuing the Notes, are subject to the following: the federal bankruptcy code and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditor's rights generally, now or hereafter in effect; usual equity principles that may limit the specific enforcement under State law of certain remedies; the exercise by the United States of America of the powers delegated to it by the federal Constitution; and the reasonable and necessary exercise, in certain exceptional situations, of the police power inherent in the sovereignty of the State and its governmental bodies in the interest of serving a significant and legitimate public purpose. Bankruptcy proceedings, or the exercise of powers by the federal or State government, if initiated, could subject the owners of the Notes to judicial discretion and interpretation of their rights in bankruptcy or otherwise, and consequently may entail risks of delay, limitation, or modification of their rights.

NEW MEXICO SCHOOL DISTRICT ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM The New Mexico legislature amended NMSA 1978, § 22-18-1 et. seq. in the first session of 2003 by adding §22-18-13 which became effective July 1, 2003. Section 22-18-13 was further amended in 2007 and provides that, if the school district indicates that it will not make the payment by the date on which it is due, the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (“DFA”) shall forward the amount in immediately available funds necessary to make the payment due on the Notes to the paying agent from the current fiscal year's undistributed state equalization guarantee distribution to that school district and, if not otherwise repaid by the school district from other legally available funds, withhold the distributions from the school district until the amount has been recouped by the department of finance and administration, provided that, if the amount of the undistributed state equalization guarantee distribution in the current fiscal year is less than the payment due on the Note, the department of finance and administration shall:

(1) forward in immediately available funds to the paying agent an amount equal to the total amount of the school district's undistributed state equalization guarantee distribution and, if not otherwise repaid by the school district from other legally available funds, withhold all distributions to the school district for the remainder of the fiscal year; and

(2) on July 1 of the following fiscal year, forward in immediately available funds an amount equal to the remaining amount due to the paying agent from that year's state equalization guarantee distribution and, if not otherwise repaid by the school district from other legally available funds, withhold an equal amount from the distribution to the school district until the amount paid has been recouped in full.

Withholding of the State Equalization Guarantee distribution may affect the District’s ability to continue to operate.

4

The NMSDEP was initially put on watch list for possible downgrade on May 15, 2007 after the state adopted new legislation that altered the mechanics of the program. After a review of the law and policies regarding the implementation of the law, program ratings were bifurcated, with one rating applying to Notes issues prior to the March 30, 2007 effective date of the legislation and a second rating applying to Notes issued on or after the March 30, 2007 effective date. Under the new law, the State cannot immediately advance more than the remaining undistributed State Equalization Guarantee payments for the fiscal year of default. As a result, those districts with principal and interest payments that fall in the latter part of the fiscal year or that are significant in amount relative to the district’s total annual State Equalization Guarantee distribution may not have sufficient undistributed State Equalization Guarantee payments to cover debt service payments in the event of a default.

The rating for New Mexico’s School District Enhancement Program is Aa1.

The Notes are not qualified under the NMSDEP.

DEBT AND OTHER FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Article IX, Section 11 of the New Mexico Constitution limits the powers of a district to incur general obligation debt extending beyond the fiscal year. The district can incur such debt for the purpose of erecting, remodeling, making additions to and furnishing school buildings or purchasing or improving school grounds or any combination of these purposes but only after the proposition to create any such debt has been submitted to a vote of the qualified electors of the district, and a majority of those voting on the question vote in favor of creating the debt. The total indebtedness of the district may not exceed 6% of the assessed valuation of the taxable property within the district as shown by the last preceding general assessment. The district also may create a debt by entering into a lease-purchase arrangement to acquire education technology equipment without submitting the proposition to a vote of the qualified electors of the district, but any such debt is subject to the 6% debt limitation. The issuance of Education Technology Notes does not have to be submitted to a vote of the qualified electors of the district.

The preliminary assessed valuation of taxable property within the District is $14,408,740,997 for tax year 2012, as approved by the State of New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department, Property Tax Division. The maximum general obligation indebtedness of the District may not exceed 6% of the assessed valuation or $864,524,460.

After the Notes are issued, the ratio of total outstanding general obligation (G/O) debt of the District to the 2012 preliminary assessed valuation will be no greater than 3.38% as summarized below:

2012 Preliminary Assessed Valuation $14,408,740,997

Yield Control Limitation

State law limits property tax increases from the prior property tax year. Specifically, no taxing entity may set a rate or impose a tax (excluding oil and gas production ad valorem and oil and gas production equipment ad valorem taxes) or assessment which will produce revenues which exceed the prior year's tax revenues from residential and non-residential property multiplied by a "growth control factor." The growth control factor is the percentage equal to the sum of (a) "percent change I" plus (b) the prior property tax year's total taxable property value plus "net new value", as defined by Statute, divided by such prior property tax year's total taxable property value, but if that percentage is less than 100%, then the growth control fact is (a) "percent change I" plus (b) 100%. "Percent change I" is based upon the annual implicit price deflator index for state and local government purchases of goods and services (as published in the United States Department of Commerce monthly publication entitled "Survey of Current Business," or any successor publication) and is a percent (not to exceed 5%) that is derived by dividing the increase in the prior calendar year (unless there was a decrease, in which case zero is used) by the index for such calendar year next preceding the prior calendar year. The growth control factor applies to authorized operating levies and to any capital improvements levies, but does not apply to levies for paying principal and interest on public general obligation debt, including the Notes.

Developments Limiting Residential Property Tax Increases

In an effort to limit large annual increases in residential property taxes in some areas of the State (particularly the Santa Fe and Taos areas which have experienced large increases in residential property values in recent years), an amendment to the uniformity clause (Article VIII, Section 1) of the New Mexico Constitution was proposed during the 1997 Legislative Session. The amendment was submitted to voters of the State at the general election held on November 3, 1998 and was approved by a wide margin.

The amendment directs the Legislature to provide for valuation of residential property in a manner that limits annual increases in valuation. The limitation may be applied to classes of residential property taxpayers based on occupancy, age or income. Further, the limitations may be authorized statewide or at the option of a local jurisdiction and may include conditions for applying the limitations.

Bills implementing the constitutional amendment were enacted in 2001 and were codified as Sections 7-36-21.2 NMSA 1978 and 7-36-21.3 NMSA 1978.

Section 7-36-21.2 NMSA 1978 establishes a statewide limitation on residential property valuation increases beginning in tax year 2001 (the “Statutory Valuation Cap on Residential Increases”). Annual valuation increases are limited to 3% over the prior year’s valuation or 6.1% over the valuation from two years prior. Subject to certain exceptions, these limitations do not apply:

1. To property that is being valued for the first time; 2. To physical improvements made to the property in the preceding year; 3. When the property is transferred to a person other than a spouse, or a child who occupies the property as his

principal residence and who qualifies for the head of household exemption on the property under the Property Tax Code;

4. When a change occurs in the zoning or use of the property; and 5. To property that is subject to the valuation limitations under Section 7-36-21.3 NMSA 1978. 6. On March 28, 2012, the New Mexico Court of Appeals upheld the constitutionality of a law capping residential

valuation increases until a home changes ownership. The plaintiff has appealed the case to the New Mexico Supreme Court. The New Mexico Legislature has brought up the issue of the disparity in valuations in the past several years, but has not enacted any of the bills into law. To the extent that court or legislative action is taken or a further constitutional amendment is passed amending the valuation provisions, it could have a material impact on the valuation of residential property in the District.

Section 7-36-21.3 NMSA 1978 places a limitation on the increase in value for property taxation purposes for single-family dwellings occupied by low-income owners who are 65 years of age or older or who are disabled. The statute fixes the valuation of the property to the valuation in the year that the owner turned 65 or became disabled. The Section 7-36-21.3 limitation does not apply:

12

1. To property that is being valued for the first time; 2. To a change in valuation resulting from physical improvements made to the property in the preceding year; and

3. To a change in valuation resulting from a change in the zoning or permitted use of the property in the preceding year.

Tax Collections General (ad valorem) taxes for all units of government are collected by the county treasurer and distributed monthly to the various political subdivisions to which they are due. Property taxes are due in two installments. The first half installment is due on November 10 and becomes delinquent on December 10. The second half installment is due on April 10 and becomes delinquent on May 10. Collection statistics for all political subdivisions for which each county treasurer collects taxes are presented below:

Accreditation

All of the District’s high schools are accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (the “Association”), a voluntary organization. The District is subject to periodic monitoring by the Association to ensure continued compliance with accreditation standards. The District was most recently accredited by the State of New Mexico’s Public Education Department in 2012 and its next regular examination is scheduled for 2015.

In addition to the regular educational program of grades kindergarten through 12, the District offers vocational programs in home economics, industrial education, and business education. The District offers Special Education Services, Title I remedial education, bilingual education, Indian education, Title VI Staff Development, Title VII (Eisenhower) Math and Science in-service, and environmental education programs.

FINANCES OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

The basic format for the financial operation of the District is provided by the Public Education Department through the School Budget Planning Division which is directed by State law to supervise and control the preparation of all budgets of all school districts. The District receives revenue from a variety of local, State, and federal sources, the most important of which are described below. New Mexico's public school finance laws are subject to review and examination through the judicial process, and are subject to legislative changes as well. As a result, the District cannot anticipate with certainty all of the factors which may influence the financing of its future activities. There is no assurance that there will not be any change in, interpretation of, or addition to the applicable laws, provisions, and regulations which would have a material effect, directly or indirectly, on the affairs of the District.

District Budget Process

Each year, the school district budget process begins with the educational appropriations passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor. The actual budget process follows specific steps set by the Public Education Department.

Pursuant to instruction by the Public Education Department, the District must submit an operating budget for the next school year to the Public Education Department. If the District fails to submit a budget, the Public Education Department must prepare a District budget for the ensuing year. Upon written approval of the state superintendent [secretary], the date for the submission of the operating budget may be extended to a later date fixed by the state superintendent (Section 22-8-6).

Before May 31 of each year, the District Board must hold a public hearing to fix the estimated budget for the next school year.

Before June 20 of each year, the District must submit a balanced budged to the Public Education Department. On or before July 1 of each year, the Public Education Department must approve and certify an approved operating

budget for use by the District Board.

No school board, officer or employee of a school district may make an expenditure or incur any obligation for the expenditure of public funds unless that expenditure is made in accordance with an operating budget approved by the Public Education Department. This requirement, however, does not prohibit the transfer of funds between line items within a series of a budget. Final budgets may not be altered or amended after approval by the Public Education Department except upon the District’s request to the Public Education Department. An instance in which such requests will be approved include a change within the budget that does not increase the total amount of the budget. Additional budget items may also be approved if the District is to receive unanticipated revenues. Finally, if it becomes necessary to increase the District's budget by more than $1,000 for any reason other than those listed above, the Public Education Department may order a special public hearing to consider the requested increase.

Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Debt Service Fund with appropriations lapsing at year end. Total expenditures of any function category may not exceed categorical appropriations.

To conform with Public Education Department's requirements, budgets for all funds of the District are adopted on the cash basis of accounting except for state instructional material credit. State instructional material funds provide for free

17

textbooks from the Public Education Department. As a result, budgets are not prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and budgetary comparisons are presented on the cash basis of accounting.

Sources of Revenue for General Fund

The General Fund is used to account for resources of the operational fund, student activity funds and other resources not accounted for in another fund. The sources of revenue for the District's General Fund are:

Local Revenues - Local revenues are a minor source of revenue to the District composed, in part, by a property tax annually levied on and against all of the taxable property within the District for operational purposes. The levy is limited by State law to a rate of 50 cents for each $1,000 of net taxable value of taxable property. Other sources of local revenues include interest income earned on the District's investments, rentals and sale of property. In fiscal year 2010/2011, the District received $11,425,042 from local sources.

Federal Revenues - Another minor source of annual revenue for the District's General Fund is derived from indirect costs of direct federal grant funds related to vocational, special education, and various other programs and P.L. 874 federal impact moneys paid to the District in lieu of taxes on federal land located in the District. In fiscal year 2010/2011, the District received $2,530,382 in federal revenues for its General Fund.

State Revenues - The District's largest source of annual revenue is derived from the State Equalization Guarantee payments described below. During fiscal year 2010/2011, the District received $579,758,063 from state sources. Such payments represented approximately 97.6% of actual fiscal year 2010 General Fund revenues.

State Equalization Guarantee

The State Legislature enacted New Mexico’s current public school funding formula in 1974. Designed to distribute operational funds to local school districts in an objective manner, the funding formula is based upon the educational needs of individual students and costs of the programs designed to meet those needs. Program cost differentials are based upon nationwide data regarding the relative costs of various school programs, as well as data specific to New Mexico. The objectives of the formula are (1) to equalize educational opportunity statewide (by crediting certain local and federal support and then distributing state support in an objective manner) and (2) to retain local autonomy in actual use of funds by allowing funds to be used in local districts at the discretion of local policy making bodies. The formula is divided into three basic parts:

1. Educational program units that reflect the different costs of identified programs; 2. Training and experience units that attempt to provide additional funds so that districts may hire and retain better

educated and more experienced instructional staff; and 3. Size adjustment units that recognize local school and community needs, economies of scale, types of students,

marginal costs increases for growth in enrollment from one year to the next, and adjustments for the creation of new districts.

State Equalization Guarantee payments are made monthly and prior to June 30 each fiscal year. The calculation of the distribution is also based on the local and federal revenues received from July 1 of the previous fiscal year through May 31 of the fiscal year for which the State distribution is being computed. In the event that a district receives more Equalization Program funds than its entitlement, the district must make a refund to the State’s general fund.

Even though the current public school funding formula has been in place for more than three decades, some districts have indicated a concern about the fact that some districts receive less revenue per pupil compared to others. In response to these concerns, the Legislature, the Governor, and the State Board of Education authorized an independent, comprehensive study of the formula, that was conducted in 1996. In its principal finding the independent consultant concluded,“. . .When evaluated on the basis of generally accepted standards of equity, the New Mexico public school funding formula is a highly equitable formula. . . .[S]pending disparities are less than in other states and statistically insignificant.”

Despite the acknowledged equity of the formula, the independent consultant pointed out a strong perception of unfairness in the so-called “density” factor and in the training and experience computations of some districts. As a result, the Legislature enacted the following changes to the funding formula:

Required that special education students be counted with regular students with “add-on” weights assigned depending upon the severity of the disability;

18

Changed weights for special education ancillary services and included diagnosticians in ancillary services computations; and

Repealed the so-called “density” factor and replaced it with an at-risk factor that is available to all school districts.

State Equalization Guarantee payments to the District for the current and previous four fiscal years are as follows:

PED receives Federal mineral-leasing funds from which it makes annual allocations to the District for purchasing instructional materials. In 2010-11, the District received $3,756,663 for textbook purchases.

The District is also reimbursed by the State for the costs of transporting pupils to and from school. These payments are based upon a formula consisting of the number of students per square mile that are transported. In 2010-11 the District received $17,906,525 for transportation purposes.

Balance Sheet – General Fund

Below is a five-year history of the Balance Sheet (General Fund only) for the District. General Fund in FY 2007 through FY2010 is comprised of Operational, Pupil Transportation and Instructional Material. In FY2011, the District began including the funds for Pupil Transportation and Instructional Materials as Special Revenue Funds as part of the District’s adoption of GASB-54. The two funds meet the GASB-54 definition of Special Revenue Funds defined as “Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt service or capital projects.” The complete independent audit report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 and the last four fiscal years can be downloaded from the District’s website using the following link: http://www.aps.edu/departments/accounting.

Debt Service Funds

The Bernalillo and Sandoval County treasurers levy and collect debt service funds sufficient to retire bonded debt as it becomes due and payable. Such funds are distributed to the District and accounted for separately from operating funds. The District is allowed to borrow all District funds if the collections are insufficient but such borrowings must be repaid from tax collections. Debt service funds may not be used for general operating purposes.

Capital Projects Funds

The Capital Projects Funds are used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities. Property sales are recorded when the parties are bound by the terms of the contract, all consideration (including adequate cash) has been exchanged and all conditions precedent to closing have been performed. Until a sale has been recorded, revenues are deferred and payments received are reflected as escrow deposits.

Under the requirements of GASB 54, the District is required to present certain of its governmental funds as major funds based upon certain criteria. The major funds presented in the fund financial statements include the following (in addition to the General Fund), which include funds that were not required to be presented as major, but were presented at the discretion of management.

1. Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the servicing of general long-term debt not being financed by proprietary or nonexpendable trust funds.

2. Bond Building Capital Projects Fund – This fund is used to account for bond proceeds and any income earned thereon. The proceeds are restricted for the purpose of making additions to and furnishing of school buildings, or purchasing or improving school grounds or any combination thereof, as approved by the voters of the District.

3. Special Revenue Funds – This fund is used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes.

4. Capital Projects Funds – This fund accounts for the acquisition of fixed assets or construction of major capital projects not being financed by proprietary or nonexpendable trust funds.

5. Pupil Transportation Fund – This fund is used to account for the State Equalization Guarantee, received from PED, which is used to pay for the costs associated with transporting school age children.

6. Instructional Materials Fund – This fund is used to account for the monies received from PED for the purposes of purchasing instructional materials used in the education of students.

7. Food Service Fund – This fund is to account for the cost of operating a student breakfast, lunch, snack bar and summer lunch program and is financed with federal grants and fees paid by program users.

8. IASA Title I Fund – This fund is to provide compensatory education services to educationally deprived school children (including private school pupils) in low-income areas. (P.L. 103-382)

9. IDEA-B Entitlement Fund – This fund is used to account for federal resources administered by the public education department to provide for special educational needs of handicap 6-21 year olds. (PL 94-142 & PL 99-457)

10. Capital Improvements HB33 Fund – This fund is to account for the costs relating to erecting, remodeling, making additions to, providing equipment for, or furnishing public school buildings and purchasing or improving public school grounds. Financing is provided through property taxes as authorized by the Public School Buildings Act (22-26-1 to 22-26-9, NMSA 1978).

11. Capital Improvements SB9 Fund – This fund is to account for erecting, remodeling, making additions to, providing equipment for, or furnishing public school buildings and purchasing or improving public school grounds or any combination thereof as identified by the local school board. Pursuant to the formula set forth in NMSA 1978 Section 22-25-9, the Public Education Department may pay additional sums to the District. Payment to the District by the Public Education Department is subject to the availability of funds.

24

Fiduciary Funds

Agency Funds are used to account for assets held by the District as an agent for individuals, private organizations or other governments. Agency Funds are custodial in nature (assets = liabilities) and do not present results of operations or have a measurement focus. These funds relate primarily to the activities of individual schools. While these funds are under the supervision of the District and enhance the District’s educational programs, they are funds of the individual schools and/or their student bodies and are not available for use by the District.

Employees and Retirement Plan

The District employs 11,908 permanent employees of which 6,034 (50.7%) are certified educational staff (teachers/counselors) and 1,853 (15.6%) are classroom educational assistants for a total of 7,887 (66.2%) certified direct classroom employees.

Employees of the District participate in a public employee retirement system authorized under the Educational Retirement Act (“ERA”). The Educational Retirement Board (“ERB”), pursuant to Section 22-11-6 NMSA 1978, is the administrator of the plan, which is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit retirement plan.

Retirement Eligibility Initial Membership Prior to July 1, 2010 (Effective July 1, 2011)

The retirement eligibility for a member who either was a member on June 30, 2010, or was a member at any time prior to that date and had not, on that date, been refunded all member contributions pursuant to Subsection A of Section 22-11-15 NMSA 1978 is as follows:

1) A member shall be eligible for retirement benefits pursuant to the Educational Retirement Act when either of the following conditions occurs:

b. Upon completion of five years of earned service-credit and upon becoming 65 years of age;

2) A member under 60 years of age eligible to retire may retire and receive retirement benefits pursuant to the Education Retirement Act that the member would be eligible to receive if the member were to retire at the age of 60 years reduced by six-tenths of one percent for each one-fourth, or portion thereof, year that retirement occurs prior to the member’s 60 birthday but after the 55 birthday, and one and eight-tenths percent for each one fourth, or portion thereof, year that retirement occurs prior to age 55; or

3) A member under 60 years of age acquiring 25 or more years of earned and allowed service credit may retire and receive retirement benefits pursuant to the Educational Retirement Act computed on the same basis as if the member were 60 years of age.

Retirement Eligibility Initial Membership On Or After July 1, 2010 (Effective July 1, 2011)

A member who initially became a member on or after July 1, 2010 or a member who was a member at any time prior to that date and had, before that date, been refunded all member contributions pursuant to Subsection A of Section 22-11-15 NMSA 1978, shall be eligible for retirement benefits pursuant to the Educational Retirement Act when one of the following conditions occurs:

1) The member is any age and has 30 or more years of earned service credit;

2) The member is at least 67 years of age and has five or more years of earned service credit; or

3) The sum of the member’s age and years of earned service credit equals at least 80; provided that a member who retires pursuant to this paragraph shall be subject to the benefit reductions provided below:

Retirement benefits for a member, retired pursuant to Section 22-11-23.1 NMSA 1978, shall be paid monthly and shall be one-twelfth of a sum equal to two and thirty-five hundredths percent of the member's average annual salary multiplied by the number of years of the member's total service credit; provided that the benefit for a member retiring shall be reduced by:

25

(1) six-tenths of one percent for each one-fourth, or portion thereof, year that retirement occurs prior to the member's sixty-fifth birthday but after the sixtieth birthday; and (2) one and eight-tenths percent for each one-fourth, or portion thereof, year that retirement occurs prior to the member's sixtieth birthday.

Funding Policy

Covered employees are required by State Statute to contribute 9.4% of their gross salary. The District is required by State Statute to contribute 10.90% of the gross covered salary. Effective July 1, 2011, the percent contribution for employees and employers will change pursuant to HB628. Employees will be required to contribute 12.65% of their gross salary and the District will be required to contribute 7.65% of the gross covered salary.

The contribution requirement for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $96,941,506 which consisted of $53,691,529 from the District and $43,249,977 from employees.

The District believes it does not have any liability should the plan be underfunded. In the future, the District’s on-going contribution percentage may be increased.

Post Employment Benefits

Plan Description: The District contributes to the New Mexico Retiree Health Care Fund, a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit post employment healthcare plan administered by the New Mexico Retiree Health Care Authority (“RHCA”). The RHCA provides health care insurance and prescription drug benefits to retired employees participating New Mexico government agencies, their spouses, dependents, and surviving spouses and dependents. The RHCA Board was established by the Retiree Health Care Act (Chapter 10, Article 7C, NMSA 1978). The Board is responsible for establishing and amending benefit provisions of the healthcare plan and is also authorized to designate optional and/or voluntary benefits like dental, vision, supplemental life insurance, and long-term care policies.

Eligible retirees are: (1) retirees who make contributions to the fund for at least five years prior to retirement and whose eligible employer during that period of time made contributions as a participant in the RHCA plan on the person’s behalf unless that person retires before the employer’s RHCA effective date, in which the event the time period required for employee and employer contributions shall become the period of time between the employer’s effective date and the date of retirement; (2) retirees defined by the Act who retired prior to July 1, 1990; (3) former legislators who served at least two years; and (4) former governing authority members who served at least four years. The RHCA issues a publicly available stand-alone financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the

26

post employment healthcare plan. That report can be obtained by writing to RHCA, 4308 Carlisle NE, Suite 104, Albuquerque, NM 87107.

Funding Policy: The Retiree Health Care Act is the statutory authority that establishes the required contributions of participating employers and their employees. The state requires each participating employer to contribute 1.3% of each participating employee’s annual salary; each participating employee is required to contribute .65% of their salary. Employers joining the program after January 1, 1998 are also required to make a surplus-amount contribution to the RHCA based on one of two formulas at agreed-upon intervals. The RHCA plan is financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The employer, employee and retiree contributions are required to be remitted to the RHCA on a monthly basis. The statutory requirements for the contributions can be changed by the New Mexico State Legislature.

The contribution to the RHCA for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $11,540,019 which consisted of $7,693,346 from the District and $3,846,673 from employees.

TAX MATTERS In the opinion of Modrall, Sperling, Roehl, Harris & Sisk, P.A., Bond Counsel, under existing law and assuming continuous compliance with certain covenants made by the District, the interest on the Notes is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is not treated as an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that, under existing law, interest on the Notes is excluded from net income for purposes of the tax imposed on individuals, estates and trusts under the New Mexico Income Tax Act or for purposes of the tax imposed on corporations under the New Mexico Corporate Income and Franchise Tax Act. Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding other federal or New Mexico income tax consequences resulting from the receipt or accrual of interest on the Notes. A form of Bond Counsel Opinion is attached to this document as Appendix E.

The opinion on federal tax matters will be based on and will assume continuous compliance with certain covenants of the District to be contained in the transcript of proceedings and that are intended to evidence and assure that the Notes are and will remain obligations the interest on which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Bond Counsel has not and will not independently verify the accuracy of any of the certifications and representations made by the District.

The Code prescribes a number of qualifications that must be met and conditions that must be satisfied in order for the interest on state and local government obligations such as the Notes to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Some of these provisions, including provisions for the rebate by the issuer of certain investment earnings to the federal government, require future or continued compliance after issuance of the obligations in order for the interest to be and continue to be so excluded from the date of issuance. Noncompliance with these requirements could cause the interest on the Notes to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes and thus to be subject to regular federal income taxes. The District covenants in the Notes Resolution to take all actions that may be required of it in order for the interest on the Notes to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and not to take any actions that would adversely affect that exclusion.

Under the Code, the exclusion of interest from gross income for federal income tax purposes can result in certain adverse federal income tax consequences on items of income or deductions for certain taxpayers, including among them financial institutions, insurance companies, recipients of Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits, and those that are deemed to incur or continue indebtedness to acquire or carry tax exempt obligations. The applicability and extent of those or other tax consequences will depend upon the particular tax status or other items of income and expense of the owners of the Notes. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding such consequences.

Internal Revenue Service Audit Program

The Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) has an ongoing program auditing tax-exempt obligations to determine whether, in the view of the Service, interest on such tax-exempt obligations is includible in the gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. No assurances can be given as to whether the Service will commence an audit of the Notes. If an audit is commenced, under current procedures the Service will treat the District as the taxpayer and the Note owners may have no right to participate in such procedure. None of the District, the Financial Advisor, Underwriters, Underwriters’ Counsel or Bond Counsel is obligated to defend the tax-exempt status of the Notes. However, the District has covenanted in the Note Resolution not to take any action that would cause the interest on the Notes to lose its exclusion from gross income, except to the extent described above, for the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes. None of the District, the Financial Advisor, Underwriters or Bond Counsel is responsible to pay or reimburse the costs of any Note owner with respect to any audit or litigation relating to the Notes.

28

ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT The Notes may be offered at a discount (“original issue discount”) equal generally to the difference between public offering price and principal amount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue discount on a Note accrues periodically over the term of the Note as interest with the same tax exemption and alternative minimum tax status as regular interest. The accrual of original issue discount increases the holders’ tax basis in the Note for determining taxable gain or loss from sale or from redemption prior to maturity. Holders of Notes offered at original issue discount should consult their tax advisor for an explanation of the accrual rules.

ORIGINAL ISSUE PREMIUM The Notes may be offered at a premium (“original issue premium”) over their principal amount. For federal income tax purposes, original issue premium is amortizable periodically over the term of a Note through reductions in the holders’ tax basis in the Note for determining taxable gain or loss from sale or from redemption prior to maturity. Amortizable premium is accounted for as reducing the tax-exempt interest on the Note rather than creating a deductible expense or loss. Holders of Notes offered at an original issue premium should consult their tax advisor for an explanation of the amortization rules.

LITIGATION There is no litigation pending about the validity of the Notes or the use of Note proceeds, the corporate existence of the District or the titles of its officers or contesting or affecting the District’s ability to receive taxes that could be used for Note payments.

At the time of the original delivery of the Notes, the District will deliver a no-litigation certificate to the effect that no litigation or administrative action or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of the appropriate officials, threatened, restraining or enjoining, or seeking to restrain or enjoin, the issuance and delivery of the Notes, the effectiveness of the Note Resolution, the levying or collection of taxes to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes or contesting or questioning the proceedings and authority under which the Notes have been authorized and are to be issued, sold, executed or delivered, or the validity of the Notes.

RATINGS Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services have given the Notes underlying ratings of "Aa1” and “AA”, respectively. These ratings reflect only the views of such rating agencies, and an explanation of the significance of the ratings may be obtained only from each rating agency. There is no assurance that the ratings will continue for any given period of time or that the ratings will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by the rating agency, if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of such rating may have an effect on the market price of the Notes.

UNDERWRITING The Underwriters: i) George K. Baum & Company; ii) Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated; and iii) Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, dba Stone & Youngberg, a Division of Stifel Nicolaus have agreed to purchase the Notes from the District pursuant to a Lease Purchase Agreement for the Notes, dated August 29, 2012 at a price of $13,220,811.50, representing the par amount of the Notes, plus a net reoffering premium of $220,811.50, and less an Underwriters’ discount of $30,339.00. The foregoing Lease Purchase Agreement provides that the Underwriters will purchase all of the Notes if any are purchased, the obligation to make such purchase being subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Lease Purchase Agreement, including the approval of certain legal matters by counsel and certain other conditions.

ECONOMIC & DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

General

The Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12 includes 97.5% of Bernalillo County and 2.5% of Sandoval County based on assessed valuation. The District is geographically situated in the center of the State of New Mexico. The school district’s boundaries encompass all of the City of Albuquerque and the Villages of Tijeras, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and Corrales. The District covers 1,230 square miles and serves 89,752 students from an estimated population of 670,893. The District is crossed by Interstate Highways 25 and 40 and is served by the Burlington North and Santa Fe Railroad and the Sunport International Airport. The District is also bisected by the Rio Grande, which provides irrigation that continues to support agriculture despite increased urbanization.

The area within the District is part of the Albuquerque Metropolitan Statistical Area (“MSA”). The Albuquerque MSA was redefined as of January 1993 to include the Counties of Bernalillo, Sandoval and Valencia. The Albuquerque MSA represents the largest commercial and industrial center in the State of New Mexico.

The positive influence of defense related industries located in the District is a historical fact; however, economic diversification has increased in recent years. Also, the mission of the Sandia National Laboratories has been changed to include non-defense research. Sandia National Laboratories is becoming a national research laboratory rather than a nuclear research facility. Sandia has entered into a number of joint research projects with private industry and has placed a major emphasis on the transfer of technology to benefit existing industries and to spawn new ones. It is hoped that this greater diversification in the role of the laboratory will also further the diversification of the area economy.

In the private sector, Albuquerque has experienced a period of employment growth from industries such as ClientLogic, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sitel, and Sandia and Route 66 Casinos. In addition, Albuquerque has the third highest concentration of high-tech activity after Boulder, CO and San Jose, CA. Notable technology companies in the Albuquerque MSA include Ktech Corporation, Emcore, CVI Laser, SBS Technologies, and Applied Research Associates. Unemployment rates in Albuquerque MSA have been below the national average for the past five years.

Because of its accessibility and tourist facilities, the area is the gateway for tourism in New Mexico as well as an attraction in its own right. The District includes the historic “Old Town” of Albuquerque, the Sandia Peak ski area, the Sandia Tramway, a number of nationally recognized museums and the Cibola National Forest. Other attractions include the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the Gathering of Nations, and the Expo New Mexico. There are also several Indian pueblos within easy driving distance that draw many tourists because of their historical significance, cultural beauty and Indian arts.

The Board shall establish adequate budgetary provisions, approved by the New Mexico Public Education Department, to promptly pay as they become due; all Rent Payments. This Section is hereby declared to be the note to the County Commissioners of the Counties of Bernalillo and Sandoval, New Mexico as to the amount of taxes necessary to be levied for the purposes herein stated. Said tax shall annually be assessed, levied and collected at the same time and in the same manner as other taxes are assessed and collected, but nothing herein contained shall be construed as to prevent Lessee thereof from applying any other funds available for that purpose to the payment of said Rent Payments as the same respectively mature and become due, and upon such payments, the levies herein provided for, may thereupon, to that extent, be diminished. The sums produced by the levies above provided to meet the Rent Payments when due are hereby applied for that purpose, and the amount for each year will be included in the annual budget and the appropriation bills to be adopted and passed by the Board of Education in each year, respectively. The Board does hereby levy and order to be levied, taxes sufficient to pay the Rent Payments. It shall be the duty of the Board annually at the time and in the manner provided by law for levying other taxes, if such action shall be necessary, to effectuate the provisions hereof with reference to the levy and collection of taxes; and the Board shall levy, extend, and collect such taxes in the manner provided by law for the purpose of funding the Rent Payment Fund for the payment of the Rent Payments. Such taxes, when collected, shall be kept for and applied only to the payment of the Rent Payments as hereinbefore specified. However, if such taxes are insufficient for payment of the Rent Payments, Lessee may use other funds that are lawfully available to make such payments. Said ad valorem taxes, sufficient to provide for the payment of the interest component and principal component of the Rent Payments as such interest component comes due and such principal component matures, are hereby pledged for such payment. Section 4.5. Fair Rental Value. The Rent Payments for each rent payment period during the Term of this Lease shall constitute the total amount due for such rent payment period and shall be paid by Lessee in each rent payment period for and in

The parties hereto have agreed and determined that the total of Rent Payments represents the fair value of the Property. Section 4.6 Quiet Enjoyment. During the Term of this Lease, Lessor shall provide Lessee with quiet use and enjoyment of the Property, and during such term Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have and hold and enjoy the Property, without suit, trouble or hindrance from Lessor, except as expressly set forth herein.

In furtherance thereof, Lessee covenants as follows: (a) to take any action necessary to assure that no more than ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the Lease or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for any "private business use," as defined in section 141 (b)(6) of the Code or, if more than ten percent (10%) of the proceeds or the projects financed therewith are so used, such amounts, whether or not received by Lessee, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this Lease or any underlying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for the payment of more than ten percent (10%) of the Rent Payments due under this Lease, in contravention of section 141(b)(2) of the Code; (b) to take any action necessary to assure that in the event that the "private business use" described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Lease or the projects financed therewith (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) then the amount in excess of five percent (5%) is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not "disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the governmental use; (c) to take any action necessary to assure that no amount which is greater than the lesser of $5,000,000, or five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Lease (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any) is directly or indirectly used to finance 2012 Albuquerque Schools lease agreement loans to persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section 141 (c) of the Code;

12

(d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Lease being treated as a "private activity bond" within the meaning of section 141 (b) of the Code; (e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Lease being "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code; (f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Lease, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code), which produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Lease, other than investment property acquired with: (i) proceeds of this Lease invested for a reasonable temporary period of 3 years or less or, in the case of a refunding obligation, for a period of 30 days or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the obligation is issued, (ii) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of section 1.148-1 (b) of the Treasury Regulations, and (iii) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of this Lease; (g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of this Lease or amounts treated as proceeds of this Lease, as may be necessary, so that the Lease does not otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings); (h) to deposit in the Rebate Fund for the benefit of the United States of America at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of this Lease), and no later than the fifth anniversary of such date of delivery, an amount that is at least equal to ninety percent (90%) of the "Excess Earnings," within the meaning of section 148(f) of the Code, and Lessee shall pay to the United States of America, not later than 60 days after this Lease has been paid in full, one hundred percent (100%) of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code; and (i) to maintain such records as will enable Lessor and Lessee to fulfill their respective responsibilities under this section and section 148 of the Code and to retain such records for at least six years following the final payment of principal and interest on this Lease. In order to facilitate compliance with the above subsections (h) and (i), a "Rebate Fund" shall be established by Lessee for the sole benefit of the United States of America, and such fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without

13

limitation Lessor. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose of compliance with section 148 of the Code. Lessor and Lessee understand that the term "proceeds" includes "disposition proceeds" as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of a refunding, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded notes expended prior to the Closing Date of this Lease. It is the understanding of Lessor and Lessee that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to this Lease, Lessor and Lessee will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of the interest component of the Rent Payments under section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated that impose additional requirements that are applicable to the Lease, Lessor and Lessee agree to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel, to preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of the Interest Component of the Rent Payments under section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, Lessor and Lessee hereby authorize and direct Lessor’s Representative and Lessee's Representative, respectively, to execute any documents, notes or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of Lessor and Lessee, which may be permitted by the Code, as are consistent with the purpose for the execution and delivery of the Lease. Section 5.5. Damage to or Destruction of Property. Upon the delivery of any Property to Lessee's installation site, Lessee shall bear the entire risk of loss, damage, theft or destruction of such Property from any and every cause whatsoever. No loss, damage, destruction, or other event shall release Lessee from the obligation to pay the full amount of Rent Payments or from any other obligation hereunder. Section 5.6. Allocation of, and Limitation on, Expenditures for the Property. Lessee covenants to account for the expenditure of lease proceeds and investment earnings to be used for the Property on their books and records by allocating proceeds to expenditures within 18 months of the later of the date that (a) the expenditure is made, or (b) the Property is acquired. The foregoing notwithstanding, Lessee shall not expend lease proceeds or investment earnings thereon more than 60 days after the earlier of (a) the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date of this Lease, or (b) the date this Lease is retired, unless Lessee obtains an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such expenditure will not adversely affect the status, for federal income tax purposes, of this Lease or the interest component of any Rental Payment. For purposes hereof, Lessee shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest component of any Rental Payment.

14

Section 5.7. Disposition of Property. Lessee covenants that the Property will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the receipt by Lessee of cash or other compensation, unless Lessee obtains an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect the status, for federal income tax purposes, of the interest component of any Rental Payment. For purposes of the foregoing, the portion of the Property comprising personal property and disposed in the ordinary course shall not be treated as a transaction resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes hereof, Lessee shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an opinion that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the excludability for federal income tax purposes from gross income of the interest component of any Rental Payment.

Before seeking to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in Lessor or its assignees by this Lease or by law, Lessor must first seek through a mandamus action to enforce the payment of the Rent Payments due hereunder by the levying of ad valorem taxes, without limit as to rate or amount. Section 8.3. No Waiver. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In the event 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 thereunder. In order to entitle Lessor to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article VIII, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article VIII or by law. ARTICLE IX: NO PREPAYMENT OF RENT PAYMNETS AND EXERCISE OF

PURCHASE OPTION AT END OF LEASE Section 9.1. No Optional Prepayment. The Rent Payment relating to this Lease may not be prepaid. Section 9.2. Exercise of Lessee’s Option to Purchase Property at End of Lease. Pursuant to the Act, Lessor grants to Lessee the right to purchase the Property at end of the Term of this Lease for $1. Lessee hereby exercises such option to purchase and Lessor hereby acknowledges receipt of $1 from Lessee and other valuable consideration.

THIS CERTIFIES THAT the registered owner specified above, or registered assigns, has an undivided interest in rights to receive certain Rent Payments by The Board of Education of the Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12, Counties of Bernalillo and Sandoval, New Mexico (the "Board") under a Lease Purchase Arrangement dated as of August 29, 2012 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Lease”) between George K. Baum & Company, Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc. and Stone & Youngberg, a Division of Stifel Nicolaus,, as lessor (the “Lessor”) and the Board as lessee (the “Lessee”). The interest of the owners of this Note is secured as provided in the Lease. As owners (the “Owners”) of the Notes, Series 2012 (the “2012 Note”), evidencing an undivided interest in the right to receive certain Rent Payments in the original aggregate principal amount of $13,000,000, Owners are entitled to receive Rent Payments consisting of principal and interest at set out in the Lease. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning assigned to them in the Lease. The Board on the faith, credit and behalf of Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12, Counties of Bernalillo and Sandoval, New Mexico (the "District"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the registered owner named above, or registered assigns, the principal amount hereof on the Maturity Date and to pay interest on the principal amount at the Interest Rate on February 1, 2013, and thereafter on each August 1 and February 1 of each year (the "Interest Payment Date") from the Series Date to its maturity. The principal of the Notes of the series of which this is one and interest due at maturity shall be payable to the registered owner thereof as shown on the registration books kept by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as "registrar/paying agent" (such entity and any successor thereto, the "Registrar/Paying Agent") for the Notes, upon maturity and upon presentation and surrender thereof at the principal offices of the

Registrar/Paying Agent. If any note shall not be paid upon such presentation and surrender at or after maturity, it shall continue to draw interest at the rate borne by the note until the principal thereof is paid in full. Payment of interest on the Note (other than at maturity) shall be made by check or draft mailed by the Registrar/Paying Agent (or by such other arrangement as may be mutually agreed to by the Registrar/Paying Agent and such registered owner), on or before each Interest Payment Date (or, if such Interest Payment Date is not a business day, on or before the next succeeding business day), to the registered owner thereof on the Record Date (defined below) at his address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar/Paying Agent. All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. The term "Record Date" as used herein with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall mean the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. The person in whose name any note is registered on any Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; but interest on any note which is not timely paid or duly provided for shall cease to be payable as provided above and shall be payable to the person in whose name such note is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the "Special Record Date") fixed by the Registrar/Paying Agent for the payment of any such overdue interest. The Special Record Date shall be fixed by the Registrar/Paying Agent whenever moneys become available for payment of overdue interest, and notice of any such Special Record Date shall be given not less than ten days prior thereto, by first-class mail, to the registered owners of the notes as of the fifth day preceding the mailing of such notice by the Registrar/Paying Agent, stating the Special Record Date and the date fixed for the payment of overdue interest. The series of Notes of which this note is one is limited to the total principal amount of $13,000,000 of like tenor except as to number, denomination, maturity date, and interest rate, issued by the Board for the purpose of acquiring technology equipment to the extent permitted by NMSA 1978 §§ 6-15A-3 (B) and 22-15A-2, The Technology for Education Act, under the authority of and in full conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State of New Mexico (including §§ 6-15-3 through 6-15-10 NMSA 1978, and acts amendatory and supplemental thereto), and pursuant to a resolution of the Board duly adopted and made a law of the District prior to the issuance of this note (the "Lease Purchase Arrangement Resolution"). The Registrar/Paying Agent will maintain the books of the District for the registration of ownership of the Notes. Upon the surrender for transfer of any note at the principal office of the Registrar/Paying Agent, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Registrar/Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver not more than three business days after receipt of the Note to be transferred in the name of the transferee or transferees a new note or notes in fully registered form of the same aggregate principal amount of authorized denominations, and of the same maturity, interest rate and series, bearing a number or numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. Notes may be exchanged at the principal offices of the Registrar/Paying Agent for an equal aggregate

principal amount of notes of other authorized denominations, and of the same maturity, series and interest rate. The Registrar/Paying Agent shall authenticate and deliver not more than three business days after receipt of the note to be exchanged a note or notes which the registered owner making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing a number or numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. Exchanges and transfers of notes as herein provided shall be without charge to the owner or any transferee, but the Registrar/Paying Agent may require the payment by the owner of any note requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The person in whose name any note shall be registered on the registration books kept by the Registrar/Paying Agent, shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of making payment thereof and for all other purposes except as may otherwise be provided with respect to payment of interest; and payment of or on account of either principal or interest on any note shall be made only to or upon the written order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed upon transfer of such note in the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations provided herein. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to discharge the liability upon such note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. If any note shall be lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Registrar/Paying Agent shall, upon receipt of the mutilated note and such evidence, information or indemnity relating thereto as it may reasonably require and as may be required by law, authenticate and deliver a replacement note or notes of a like aggregate principal amount of authorized denominations, and of the same maturity, interest rate and series, bearing a number or numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. If such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated note shall have matured, the Registrar/Paying Agent may pay such note in lieu of replacement. For the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on this note as aforesaid and for the levy and collection of taxes in accordance with the statutes authorizing the issuance of this note, the full faith and credit of the District is hereby irrevocably pledged. The Board has, by the Lease Purchase Arrangement Resolution, ordered the creation of an interest and sinking fund for the payment of the Notes. Such fund is to be held in trust for the benefit of the owner or owners of the Notes. It is hereby certified, recited and warranted that all the requirements of law have been complied with by the proper officials of the District in the issuance of this note; that the total indebtedness of the District, including that of this note, does not exceed any limit of indebtedness prescribed by the Constitution or laws of the State of New Mexico; that provision has been made for the levy and collection of annual taxes sufficient to pay the principal of and the interest on this note when the same becomes due. This note shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until the Registrar/Paying Agent shall have manually signed the note of authentication hereon.

The Board and the District covenant that they will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Notes in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary so that the Notes will not constitute arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The President, Secretary, Superintendent and any other officer of the District having responsibility for the issuance of the Notes shall give an appropriate note, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Notes, setting forth the reasonable expectations of the District regarding the amount and use of all the proceeds of the Notes, the facts, circumstances and estimates on which they are based, and other facts and circumstances relevant to the tax treatment of interest on the Notes.

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, the Board of Education of Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12, Counties of Bernalillo and Sandoval, New Mexico, constituting the governing board of the District, has caused the seal of the District to be hereto affixed and this note to be signed and executed with the manual or facsimile signature of the President of the Board and subscribed and attested with the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary of the Board, all as of the Series Date.

APPENDIX C

AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – JUNE 30, 2011


APPENDIX D

THE BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY SYSTEM


1

The Book-Entry-Only System Initially, DTC will be the securities depository for the Notes. The Paying Agent/Registrar will register all Notes in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) and provide DTC with one Note for each maturity.

DTC provided the following information. Neither the Financial Advisor nor the District can vouch for its accuracy or completeness. For further information, please contact DTC or view its website at www.dtc.org.

DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New Mexico and New York Uniform Commercial Codes, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. DTC was created to hold securities of its participants (the “DTC Participants”) and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of security certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations, some of whom (and/or their representatives) own DTC. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly (the “Indirect Participants”).

Purchases of the Notes under the book-entry system may be made only through brokers and dealers who are, or act through, DTC Participants. Each DTC Participant will receive a credit balance in the records of DTC in the amount of such DTC Participant’s ownership interest in the Notes. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of a Note (the “Beneficial Owner”) will be recorded through the records of the DTC Participant or the Indirect Participant. Beneficial Owners are to receive a written confirmation of their purchase providing certain details of the Notes acquired. Transfers of ownership interests in the Notes will be accomplished only by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by DTC Participants or Indirect Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners of the Notes will not receive nor have the right to receive physical delivery of the Notes, and will not be or be considered to be registered owners under the Note Resolution except as specifically provided in the Note Resolution in the event the book-entry system is discontinued.

SO LONG AS CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE OF DTC, IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE NOTES, REFERENCES IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE NOTES WILL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND WILL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS.

The District and the Registrar may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Notes registered in its name for the purpose of payment of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes, selecting Notes and portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners under the Note Resolution, register the transfer of Notes, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by registered owners and for all other purposes whatsoever, and will not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The District and the Registrar will not have any responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes under or through DTC or any DTC Participant, Indirect Participant or other person not shown on the records of the Registrar as being a registered owner with respect to: the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC, any DTC Participant or Indirect Participant regarding ownership interests in the Notes; the payment by DTC, any DTC Participant or Indirect Participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or interest or premium, if any, on the Notes; the delivery to any DTC Participant, Indirect Participant or any Beneficial Owner of any notice that is permitted or required to be given to registered owners under the Note Resolution; or any consent given or other action taken by DTC as a registered owner.

Neither DTC nor its nominee, Cede & Co., provides consents with respect to any security. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to the issuer of the securities for which it is acting as securities depository as soon as possible after the establishment of a “record date” by the issuer for purposes of soliciting consents from the holders of such securities. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s voting rights to those DTC Participants having such securities credited to their accounts on such record date.

Principal of and interest on the Notes will be paid to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of the Notes. Disbursement of such payments to the DTC Participants is the responsibility of DTC and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners of the Notes is the responsibility of the DTC Participants or the Indirect Participants. Upon receipt of any such payments, DTC’s current practice is to immediately credit the accounts of the DTC Participants in accordance with their respective holdings shown on the records of DTC. Payments by DTC Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners of the Notes will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with municipal securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant or Indirect Participant and not of DTC, the Registrar or the District, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements then in effect.

As long as the DTC book-entry system is used for the Notes, the Registrar will give any notice required to be given to registered owners of Notes only to DTC or its nominee. Any failure of DTC to advise any DTC Participant, of any DTC Participant to notify any Indirect Participant, or of any DTC Participant or Indirect Participant to notify any Beneficial Owner, of any such notice and its content or effect will not affect the validity of any action premised on such notice. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to DTC Participants, by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and by DTC Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from

2

time to time. Beneficial Owners may desire to make arrangements with a DTC Participant or Indirect Participant so that all communications to DTC that affect such Beneficial Owners will be forwarded in writing by such DTC Participant or Indirect Participant.

NEITHER THE DISTRICT NOR THE REGISTRAR WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO SUCH DTC PARTICIPANTS, OR THE PERSONS FOR WHOM THEY ACT AS NOMINEES, WITH RESPECT TO THE PAYMENTS TO OR THE PROVIDING OF NOTICE FOR THE DTC PARTICIPANTS, THE INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE NOTES.

For every transfer and exchange of a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes, a Beneficial Owner may be charged a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

DTC may determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to the Notes at any time by giving reasonable notice to the District or the Registrar at any time. In addition, if the District determines that (i) DTC is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes or (ii) continuation of the system of book-entry only transfers through DTC is not in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners of the Notes or of the District, the District may thereupon terminate the services of DTC with respect to the Notes. If for any such reason the system of book-entry transfers through DTC is discontinued, the District may within 90 days thereafter appoint a substitute securities depository that, in its opinion, is willing and able to undertake the functions of DTC upon reasonable and customary terms. If a successor is not approved, Note certificates will be delivered as described in the Note Resolution in fully registered form in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof in the names of the Beneficial Owners, Indirect Participants or DTC Participants.

In the event the book-entry system is discontinued, the persons to whom Note certificates are registered will be treated as registered owners for all purposes of the Note Resolution, including the giving to the District or the Registrar of any notice, consent, request or demand pursuant to the Note Resolution for any purpose whatsoever. In such event, the Notes will be transferred to such registered owners, interest on the Notes will be payable by check of the Paying Agent, as paying agent, mailed to such registered owners, and the principal and redemption price of all Notes will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent.

The foregoing material concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system is based on information furnished by DTC. No representation is made by the District or the Underwriter as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. Limited Book-Entry Responsibilities

While a book-entry-only system is used for the Notes, the Paying Agent/Registrar will send redemption and other notices only to DTC. Any failure of DTC to advise any DTC Participant, or of any DTC Participant to notify any Beneficial Owner, of any notice and its content or effect will not affect the validity of sufficiency of the proceedings relating to the Note redemption or any other action based on the notice.

The District and the Financial Advisor have no responsibility or liability for any aspects of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership of interests in the Notes.

The District and the Financial Advisor cannot and do not give any assurances that DTC will distribute payments to DTC Participants or that DTC Participants or others will distribute payments with respect to the Notes received by DTC or its nominees as the holder or any redemption notices or other notices to the beneficial holders, or that they will do so on a timely basis, or that DTC will serve and act in the manner described in this Official Statement.

APPENDIX E

FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION

.


August ____, 2012 Board of Education Albuquerque Public School District No. 12 Albuquerque, New Mexico We have acted as bond counsel to the Albuquerque Municipal School District No. 12 (the “District”) in connection with the issuance of its $13,000,000 General Obligation Educational Technology Notes (the “Notes”) dated August 29, 2012, with interest payable on February 1, 2013, and semi-annually thereafter on each August 1 and February 1, until maturity, and being Notes in registered form maturing on August 1 in the years 2013 through 2017, inclusive. We have examined the transcript of proceedings (the "Transcript") relating to the issuance of the law under authority of which the Notes were issued. Based on our examination, we are of the opinion that, under the law existing on the date of this opinion, subject to the provisions of federal bankruptcy law and other laws affecting creditors' rights and further subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity: 1. The Notes constitute legal, valid and binding general obligation debt of the District and the principal of and interest on the Notes, unless paid from other sources, are to be paid from the proceeds of the levy of ad valorem taxes on all property within the District subject to ad valorem taxes levied by the District, which taxes are unlimited as to rate or amount. 2. Assuming continuing compliance by the District with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and with the covenants contained in the Transcript regarding the use of the leased property, interest on the Notes is excluded from the gross income of the holders of the Notes for purposes of federal income taxation. Interest on the Notes is not treated as an item of tax preference for purposes of the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Failure of the District to comply with its covenants and with the requirements of the Code may cause interest on the Notes to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their date of issuance
