The financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement shall also provide that the obligations shall not be deemed or construed as creating an indebtedness of the state within the meaning of any provision of the state constitution or the laws of the state of Colorado concerning or limiting the creation of indebtedness by the state of Colorado and shall not constitute a multiple fiscal-year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation of the state within the meaning of section 20 (4) of article X of the state constitution. In the event the state of Colorado does not renew a financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement authorized in subsection (2) of this section, the sole security available to the seller shall be the property encumbered to secure the nonrenewed financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement or equivalent substitute collateral provided by the state.

The instruments shall not be notes, bonds, or any other evidence of indebtedness of the state within the meaning of any provision of the state constitution or the law of the state concerning or limiting the creation of indebtedness of the state and shall not constitute a multiple fiscal-year direct or indirect debt or other financial obligation of the state within the meaning of section 20 (4) of article X of the state constitution.

(f)

A financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement authorized in subsection (2) of this section may require the state to provide insurance; except that no insurance is authorized that would cause the annual financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation payment to exceed the annual rent costs of the state agencies prior to the financed purchase of an asset or certificate of participation agreement plus any rent projected to be received from nonstate lessees, adjusted as described in subsection (3)(b) of this section.
