</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">$360 - the rep agreed to this because the entire population of the County is 43,000 people.  </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br />
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">We will pay $20,000 for 2011-2012.   We serve a county population of 160,000.</span></font></div>

</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">I have my renewal right in front of me and it's for $14,770.  Our population is 35,000.</span></font></div>

</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">We serve a population of 50,000+ and I think we are paying at least $13,000. </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br />
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Our population served is similar to yours, 61,549, and last year we paid $8320 for this
database.  </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br />
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">I was given a quote of $5,250 for a population of 75,000.</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br />
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Another database was similar and less expensive, quoted a price of $8,000.  I told him to call
and see if they would bite for the same money and they did. </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br />
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">Our service area is a little over 45,000 - $5,483</span></font></div>

</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">And then WCDPL’s Final Price: </span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">$1,700 per year (after refusing their quote of $18,200, since we used to pay $1,250 per year
in 2007)</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt"><br />
</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style=" font-size:10pt">I guess that this is like shopping for a car, the price on the window is different from the price
they will quote, which is still different from the price you can really get in the end.</span></font></div>
