(The petitioner's estimate of actual value must be Included.) Attach additional sheets if necessary. Xerox asserts that pursuant to Sec.39-1-103(13)C.R.S.(1999)its leased copier and electronic reproduction equipment and accessories on lease to third parties should be valued at its manufacturing cost,including installation and delivery charges. The current method of valuation uses Xerox's effective average selling price,for new equipment,which does not reflect the proper use of the cost method mandated in Colorado. A test case to determine the appropriate methodology was filed as a protest appeal for tax year 1999 and filed in Arapahoe County District Court at Case Number 99CV2990. Motions for summary judgment and Briefs were filed in April of 2001. The court has not yet issued its decision. This abatement request is filed to protect Xerox's right to receive refunds for 1999,pending a ruling in the test case.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80633 RE: Xerox Corporation Abatement Dear Sir or Madame: In late December, 2001 Xerox Corporation filed a Petition for Abatement and Refund for its 1999 personal property taxes. As we explained at that time, this was a protective filing while the company awaits a decision from the Arapahoe County District Court. Xerox is still waiting for that decision. As the Board did not set a hearing within six months, Xerox deems the County to have denied the abatement at the expiration of the six months, on or about June 28, 2002. Thank you. Xerox will file an appeal to the board of Assessment Appeal to preserve its record and a right to an eventual refund should the test case on manufacturer's cost be decided in its favor. If you have any questions, please call. Thank you for your cooperation. Very truly yours, Norman H. Wright NHW:dpc C: Xerox Corporation MayanJi. �t/tzsclufl Attorney At Law 6 So.

Box 758 Greeley, CO 80633 RE: Xerox Corporation Abatement Appeal Dear Sir or Madame: As indicated by our earlier correspondence to you, Xerox Corporation has filed appeals to the Board of Assessment Appeals for the 1999 abatement petition denial. Consistent with case involving other counties,we have requested that the Board not set these for hearing until after the Arapahoe District Court case is finally concluded. If this procedure is not acceptable, please give me a call to discuss alternative arrangements. However, we think keeping the matter in abeyance pending the conclusion of the test case with the Division of Property Taxation is the most efficient way to resolve this. Thank you.

Weld County Dear Sirs: Last week I filed a number of Board of Assessment Appeals Petitions and directed correspondence concerning the request by Xerox Corporation for abatement of a portion of its 1999 personal property taxes. As a part of that package, a letter dated July 25, 2002 referenced a failure to hold a hearing within the six month limit. As to your county, the letter should have referenced the lack of an order within that time frame. This was a mass filing, customized for a great number of counties. Of course, Weld County did set a hearing in May, for which hearing Xerox waved appearance and requested an administrative denial. We understand that denial was still in process pending information from the DPT. The record should reflect that Weld County did grant a hearing and I apologize to the Board and affected County officials for the inaccurate reference. Very truly yours, Norman H.
