OFFERING CIRCULAR RATING: ONE (1) NEW ISSUE - BOOK-ENTRY ONLY Standard & Poor’s: “AA-” In the opinion of Special Tax Counsel, assuming compliance with certain tax covenants, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, the component of each Series 2013A Aggregate Lease Payment (as defined in the Master Lease Agreement which is defined herein below) designated as interest on Exhibit “B” to the Master Lease Agreement, and the allocable portion thereof distributable in respect of each Certificate, is excluded from gross income for Federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference within the meaning of Section 57(a) of the Code. However, see “TAX MATTERS” for a description of the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations and certain other Federal tax consequences of owning the Series 2013A Certificates. Special Tax Counsel is further of the opinion that, based upon the existing provisions of Section 31-7-10 of the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, interest distributable on the Certificates is exempt from all income taxes imposed by the State of Mississippi. See “TAX MATTERS” herein. $26,555,000 LEASE REVENUE CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION (MASTER LEASE PROGRAM SERIES 2013A) Evidencing Proportionate Interests in Lease Payments to be Made Pursuant to a Master Lease Purchase Agreement and the Equipment Schedules thereto made and entered into by and between THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI, represented by and acting through the State of Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration, as lessee, and FIRST SOUTHWEST LEASING COMPANY, as lessor Dated: Date of delivery Maturity Dates: as shown below The above-described Lease Revenue Certificates of Participation (Master Lease Program for Series 2013A) (the “Certificates”) are being delivered pursuant to a Trust Agreement dated as of October 10, 2013 (the “Trust Agreement”), made and entered into by and among First Southwest Leasing Company (“FirstSouthwest Leasing”), the State of Mississippi (the “State” or “Lessee”), represented by and acting through the State of Mississippi Department of Finance and Administration ( “DFA”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, Olive Branch, Mississippi, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
