Dear Paul, It was nice of you to meet with me, Gill Bahadur from AEG, Inc. and Joe Gaugush from the city. We discussed the above listed City of Palm Desert assessment district 94-2 improvement costs. All the required infrastructure improvements have been 100% completed and paid by the city. Because of our competitive bidding processes, you told me that there is surplus money left in the assessment district budget as explained below: ITEM I TOTAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT TO BE ACQUIRED = $ 94, 141 . 00 ITEM II TOTAL INCIDENTAL EXPENSES = $ 44, 643.00 ITEM III ADDITIONAL INTEREST RESERVE = $ 75, 474. 00 I Would like to request the city and the bond council i .e. Best, Best and Krieger to do the following: 1 . For Item Ic of the assessment report for acquisition of right of way I gave to the city 175, 678 square feet of land for the offsite public street construction of Hovley Lane, Eldorado Drive and Sandcastle Lane. I was reimbursed a total of $329, 908. 00, only $1 .88 per square foot. I know the appraised value for a finished lot is $10 . 22 per square foot. I ask you and the bond council to consider a fair market value of the unfinished land a price of $2 . 50 per square foot. I should receive the total reimbursement of $439, 195 . 00 for the acquisition of the right of way. So I expect to receive an additional check from the bond issuance for the balance of $109, 287 . 00 . 75 71),:Ah\1kVR WAY 1 I)FSGRT,(':A 1)"60 • 1'0 ROX 4689 I':A I_N 1)1aPk I.l':A��'?hl (619) W 5200 • FAX((,1,)) +.'S. 2 .

It should be fine to transfer the $75, 474 . 00 from the Improvement Fund to the Interest Reserve Fund. I thank you, Mr. Ray Diaz, Joe Gaugush from the city, Mr. John Brown from Best, Best and Krieger and Gill Bahadur from Advanced Engineering Group, Inc. for their assistance to complete this assessment district successfully.

Ms. Dawn Vincent - Stone & Youngberg LAW OFFICES OF BEST, BEST & KRIEL___t January 24, 1995 RECEIVED MEMORANDUM JAN 2 5 1995 DOMMDNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPAITTWWT TO: Ray Diaz and Paul Gibson CfTY OF PALM DESERT FROM: John E. Brown RE: City of Palm Desert Assessment District No. 94-2 (Sunterrace) This is intended as a follow-up to my memorandum of December 8, 1994. I have now had a chance to meet with Bob Varner and the Engineer of Work from Advance Engineering Group. They have more carefully reviewed the current status of the draw down of acquisition proceeds. I would recommend that we permit the contingency amount for the public improvements to be acquired to remain at $92,469 as approved in the original Engineer's Report, and that we apply that amount, where possible, to one or more of the items appearing in the street improvements section. For example, if the governmental agency fees and deposits in excess of the confirmed amount of $154,797 can be justified, then I would recommend that a significant portion of the contingency moneys be so apportioned. In addition, I have requested that the landowner and the Engineer of Work take a more careful look at the street improvements in Hovley Lane, El Dorado Drive and Sandcastle Lane as well as the existing improvements at Hovley Lane to determine whether justifications can be submitted by their contractor supporting all, or at least most, of the amounts set forth in the original Engineer's Report. With respect to the acquisition of right-of-way, the approved amount is $299,916. I have recommended that the landowner and the Engineer of Work confer with an appraiser and JES250474 LAW OFFICES OF BEST, BEST & KRIE�._.t submit supporting documentation justifying the acquisition of right-of-way in that amount. In addition, it seems to me that if a higher amount than $299,916 can be justified, that it may be possible to apply some or all of the contingency money to that item as well. There may be some savings realized in the incidental expenses category, and if so, I would recommend reapplying those moneys to any of the eligible improvements in Items 1, 2 or 3. Finally, with respect to the debt service reserve fund, Section III (Bond Issuance Costs) I would recommend that we retain the original approved amount of $183,200 and capitalize additional interest so as to hopefully assist the absorption of this particular assessment district.

Sewer and water facilities are substantially completed and the documents submitted more than adequately reflect actual costs incurred. The only items not completed with respect to sewer and water is the raising of the water valves and sewer manholes to finished asphalt grade.

Brown RE: City of Palm Desert Assessment District No. 94-2 (Sunterrace) — Pursuant to Paul Gibson's request, I have reviewed the request from Bob Varner for disbursement of the right-of-way acquisition amount included in the confirmed Engineer's Report. You will recall that Advanced Engineering Group prepared a detailed breakout of the methodology used to compute that value and indicated a value of $201,478.00. I've reviewed that matter and, at Paul Gibson's request, have done some additional research to come up with supporting documentation for that figure. You may recall that Advanced Engineering Group told me that they had simply taken the value for recent right-of-way acquisition in an adjacent assessment district and had slightly reduced it to $1.35 per square foot. I thought that perhaps the best starting point for valuation of the underlying fair market value of the land to be acquired for right-of-way is perhaps the appraisal report summary prepared by AAA Appraisal of Cathedral City, California. You will recall that that appraisal report summary is included in the Official Statement for this particular bond issue. The appraisal indicates that the area of the assessment district is calculated at 1,009,820.07 square feet. The lowest value attached to the land included within the assessment district in an "as if' Bulk Wholesale Value of the Finished Lots - CTC is JEB244391 LAW OFFICES OF BEST, BEST & KRIEGER $5,496,000. According to my calculations that works out to a fair market value of$5.44 per square foot. The figure used in the Engineer's Report to calculate the value of the underlying right-of-way is considerably discounted from that value,appropriately in my view, and the appraisal summary report would seem to support use of the $1.35 per square foot figure. Certainly in a condemnation context, the City would be required to pay considerably more than that for the fair market value of the underlying land. I have enclosed for your review and submission to the Bank of America an appropriate requisition to wire the money for the fair market value of the land to be acquired to Bob Varner's account.

This opinion is being rendered in connection with the sale to Stone & Youngberg (the "Underwriter") of the $1,832,000.00 City of Palm Desert, Assessment District No. 94-2 (Sunterrace) Limited Obligation Improvement Bonds (the "Bonds"). We have examined the following and such other instruments as we have deemed necessary: (i) applicable provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of California, (ii) Resolution No. 94-118 adopted by the City Council of the City on November 10, 1994 (the 'Resolution"), (iii) the Fiscal Agent Agreement between the City and Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association dated December 1, 1994 (the "Fiscal Agent Agreement"), (iv) the Bond Purchase Agreement between the City and Stone & Youngberg dated November 22, 1994 (the"Purchase Agreement"), (iv) the Prelimi- nary Official Statement dated November 14, 1994, and the Official Statement dated November 22, 1994 (together the"Official Statement"), and (v) the Bonds. Based upon such examination, we are of the opinion that: (i) The City is a municipal corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of California; (ii) the resolution of the City approving and authorizing the execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and approving the Official Statement was duly adopted at a meeting of the governing body of the LAW OFFICES OF BEST, BEST & KRIEGER Stone & Youngberg December 1, 1994 Page 2 City which was called and held pursuant to law and with all public notice required by law and at which a quorum was present and acting throughout; (iii) the Fiscal Agent Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the City, and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the City, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and by the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought; (iv) there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court, public board or body pending with respect to which the City has been served or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened against or affecting the City, which would adversely impact the City's ability to complete the transactions contemplated by the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the Bonds, to restrain or enjoin the collection of the Assessments, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement or the transactions described in and contemplated thereby wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the validity and enforceability of the Bonds or the Fiscal Agent Agreement or in which a final adverse decision could materially adversely affect the operations of the City; (v) the execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and the approval of the Official Statement and compliance with the provisions of the Fiscal Agent Agreement and hereof, under the circumstances contemplat- ed thereby, do not in any material respect conflict with or constitute on the part of the City a breach of or default under any agreement or other instrument to which the City is a party or by which it is bound or any existing law, regulation, court order or consent decree to which the City is subject which breach or default has or may have a material adverse effect on the ability of the City to perform its obligations under the Legal Documents; (vi) no authorization, approval, consent, or other order of any court or governmental body is required for the valid authorization, execution and delivery of the Fiscal Agent Agreement by the City and the approval by the City of the Official Statement or the consummation by the City of the transactions on its part contemplated in the Purchase Agreement and in the Official Statement, except such as have been obtained and except such as may BJS241314 LAW OFFICES OF BEST, BEST & KRIEGER Stone & Youngberg December 1, 1994 Page 3 be required under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Bonds by the Underwriter; (vii) the Acquisition Agreement between the City and the Developer relating to the acquisition and financing of the improvements to be financed with proceeds of the Bonds was duly authorized by the City and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, where necessary) constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the City enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, reorganiza- tion, insolvency, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and the application of equitable principles if equitable remedies are sought; and (viii) as of the date hereof, the information contained in the Official Statement under the captions "SUMMARY STATEMENT," "INTRODUC- TION," '"THE DISTRICT," "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS," "NO LITIGA- TION"and "APPENDIX C"(excluding therefrom statistical and financial data as to which no opinion is expressed) is true and correct and such information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated in the Official Statement or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading in any material respect.

The proceedings were taken pursuant to the Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Division 12 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California). The Bonds are issued pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California) and a resolution adopted by the City Council of the City of Palm Desert on November 10, 1994, (the 'Resolution"), and the Fiscal Agent Agreement between the City and Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association as the Fiscal Agent (the "Agreement"). The Bonds are designated United States of America, State of California, County of Riverside, Limited Obligation Improvement Bond, City of Palm Desert, Assessment District No. 94-2 (Sunterrace), and are bonds dated as of December 1, 1994, in the denomination of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, with the exception of one bond due in 1996 which may be an odd denomination. The Bonds bear interest from their date to their date of maturity, payable semiannually beginning March 2, 1995, and thereafter on BJS237454 LAW OFFICES OF BEST, BEST & KRIEGER Mayor and City Council City of Palm Desert December 1, 1994 Page 2 the second day of March and September of each year. The Bonds mature from September 2, 1995 through September 2, 2014, in the principal amounts prescribed in the Agreement. The Bonds are issued in fully registered form. The Bonds may be redeemed and paid in advance of maturity on the second day of March and September in each year by giving the notice provided by law and by paying the principal amount thereof together with a premium as provided in the Agreement. Based upon our examination, we are of the opinion that the proceedings have been taken in accordance with the law and Constitution of the State of California and that the Bonds, having been duly issued, executed and delivered in the manner provided by law, are regularly issued Bonds, and that the Bonds are secured by the monies in the redemption fund created pursuant to the Improvement Bond Act of 1915 and by the unpaid assessments made for the financing of the acquisition of the public improvements authorized by the Resolution of Intention. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), contains certain investment, rebate and related requirements which must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds for the interest on the Bonds to be and remain exempt from federal income taxation. Noncompliance with such requirements could cause the inter- est on the Bonds to be subject to federal income taxation retroactive to the date of issue of the Bonds. The City has covenanted in the Resolution of Issuance to comply with the requirements of the Code which are applicable to the Bonds. Assuming compliance by the City with the aforementioned covenants, we are of the opinion that the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions. We are further of the opinion that the interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes imposed by the State of California under present state income tax laws. We are further of the opinion that the interest on the Bonds is not a specific preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code. However, such interest received by corporations will be included in corporate adjusted current earnings, a portion of which may increase the alternative minimum taxable income of such corporations. Although the interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, the accrual or receipt of such interest may otherwise affect the total income tax liability of the recipient. The extent of these tax consequences will depend upon the recipient's particular tax status or other items of income or deduction. We express no opinion regarding any such tax consequences.

Applicable current federal law includes (i) Section 103 (b) and Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and (ii) Sections 1.148 and 1.150 of the Regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Regulations"). 2. The Bonds are being issued under and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of California, including the Improvement Bond Act of 1915, Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500) of the California Streets and Highways Code, a Fiscal Agent Agreement dated as of December 1, 1994 (the "Agreement") between the City and Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association, as fiscal agent, registrar and paying agent (the "Fiscal Agent"), and Resolution No. 94-118, adopted by the City Council of the City on November 10, 1994 (the 'Resolution"). 3.

BJS241462 4. The Project consists of (a) water and wastewater system improvements and facilities which have been constructed by and will be acquired from Robert B. Varner (the "Developer") and transferred to Coachella Valley Water District pursuant to an agreement between the City and the Developer (the "Acquisition Agreement") and an agreement among the City, the Developer and Coachella Valley Water District (the "Agreement for Acquisition, Conveyance and Operation of Water and Sanitary Sewer System Improvements"); and (b) roadway widening improvements which have been constructed by and will be acquired from the Developer and transferred to the City pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement.

The Development consists of phases two through four of a custom gated residential housing project known as the Sunterrace Project. Phase one of the Sunterrace Project is not part of the District and is not being assessed. The Development is planned to include 88 single family detached residential units with an average lot size of 11,475 square feet. B. The Bonds. 1. The receipts and disbursements with respect to the Bonds, including the Costs of Issuance and underwriting discount, are detailed as follows: SOURCES Principal Amount $ 1,832,000.00 Less Underwriter's Discount 54,960,00 ) Total Sources $ 1,777,040.00 USES Reserve Fund $ 183,200.00 Interest Account (1) 107,726.26 Costs of Issuance Fund 153,999.74 Improvement Fund $ 1,332,114.00 Total Uses $ 1,777,040.00 (1) Represents capitalized interest from December 1, 1994 through September 2, 1995. BJS241462 -2- 2. The principal amounts, interest rates, interest and principal payment dates, and debt service with respect to the Bonds are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. 3. Using the initial offering price as the "purchase price" the yield on the Bonds is 7.966913 percent. 4. The Agreement creates and establishes the following funds and accounts with respect to the Bonds: The Redemption Fund The Improvement Fund The Assessment Fund The Costs of Issuance Fund The Reserve Fund The Interest Account (1) The Assessment Prepayment Account (2) The Rebate Fund (1) This account is in the Redemption Fund. (2) This account is in the Assessment Fund. 5. The Redemption Fund, will be used primarily to achieve a proper matching of Assessment Revenues (as defined in the Agreement) and debt service on the Bonds within each Bond Year. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Assessment Revenues deposited in the Redemption Fund will be depleted at least once a year except for a reasonable carry-over amount, if any, which will not exceed the greater of (i) one year's earnings on such amounts during the preceding Bond Year, or (ii) one-twelfth of the annual debt service on the Bonds for the preceding Bond Year. 6. On the date of this certificate, there will be deposited in the Interest Account in the Redemption Fund from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds (i) the amount of $107,725.26, representing capitalized interest on the Bonds from December 1, 1994 through September 2, 1995. Such amounts will be applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds. 7. Proceeds of the sale of the Bonds in the amount of$153,999.74 will be deposited in the Costs of Issuance Fund and will be expended promptly for the payment of Costs of Issuance. Taking into account the services rendered in conjunction with the structuring and sale of the Bonds, the principal amount of the Bonds, the contingent nature of the fees paid and costs incurred by the City in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds, such costs of issuance are considered reasonable. 8. Proceeds of the sale of the Bonds in the amount of $183,200.00, an amount equal to the Reserve Requirement (as defined in the Agreement),will be deposited in the Reserve Fund. The Reserve Requirement is not greater than the lesser of: (i) maximum annual Debt Service on the Bonds, (ii) 125 percent of average annual Debt BJS241462 -3- Service on the Bonds, or (iii) 10 percent of the issue price (net of accrued interest) of the Bonds. The City has been advised by Stone & Youngberg, the underwriter of the Bonds (the "Underwriter"), in a certificate delivered at the closing with respect to the Bonds, that the Reserve Fund is reasonably required, is a vital factor in marketing the Bonds, and facilitates the marketing of the Bonds at interest rates comparable to those of other bonds of a similar type. 9. A binding obligation in an amount of not less than $100,000 to commence design, construction, furnishing and equipping of the Project will be entered into by the City within six months of the date of the delivery of the Bonds. As discussed in paragraph 4 of Section A above, the City has entered into an agreement with Coachella Valley Water District and the Developer with respect to the acquisition with proceeds of the Bonds of completed and existing water and wastewater system improvements and facilities and completed and existing roadway improvements. Acquisition and construction of the Project will proceed with due diligence to the completion thereof. The City understands that Coachella Valley Water District does not intend to sell or otherwise dispose of the its part of the Project prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds, except such minor parts or portions thereof as may be disposed of due to normal wear, obsolescence or depreciation in the ordinary course of business. The amount of the proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Improvement Fund and in the Interest Account representing capitalized interest on the Bonds on the date of this certificate and amounts to be deposited therein as provided in the Agreement, are expected to be fully expended to pay the costs of the Project and interest on the Bonds by July 31, 1995. 10. Other than the Assessment Fund,including the Assessment Prepayment Account therein, the Redemption Fund, including the Interest Account therein, and the Reserve Fund, there are no funds or accounts established pursuant to the Resolution, the Agreement or otherwise that are reasonably expected to be used to pay Debt Service on the Bonds or that are pledged as collateral for the Bonds and for which there is a reasonable assurance that amounts on deposit therein will be available to pay Debt Service on the Bonds if the City encounters financial difficulties. 11. The proceeds derived from the sale of the Bonds and the amounts on deposit in the aforementioned funds and accounts will be invested without regard to yield. However, the amount, if any, remaining on deposit in the Improvement Fund on December 1, 1997 will be invested at a yield that is not materially higher (i.e., 1/8 %) than the yield on the Bonds. 12. Moneys deposited in the Assessment Prepayment Account from Assessment Prepayments (as defined in the Agreement) will be transferred to the Redemption Fund, to the extent that the amount of Assessment Prepayments are to be utilized for the redemption of the Bonds. However, the portion of any Assessment Prepayment which relates to the prepayment of the portion of the Assessment levied on a lot or parcel which is security for Additional Bonds will be retained in the Assessment Prepayment Account until the Fiscal Agent receives an Officer's Certificate (as defined in BJS241462 -4- the Agreement) from the City instructing the Fiscal Agent to transfer the amount of deposit in the Assessment Prepayment Account to the Improvement Fund to be utilized for the construction of the Project. Such amounts will be invested at a yield that is not materially higher than the yield on the Bonds. C. Rebate Requirement 1. The City understands that Section 148(f) of the Code requires that an amount equal to the sum of (a) the excess of the aggregate amount earned on all Nonpurpose Investments over the amount that would have been earned if such Nonpurpose Investments had a yield equal to the yield on the Bonds, plus (b) any income attributable to the excess described in clause (a) be paid to the United States Treasury (the 'Rebate Requirement"). The City has covenanted in the Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code and hereby covenants to comply with the rebate requirements, as set forth in Sections 1.148-1 through 1.148-11 of the Regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, as amended from time to time, and any and all successor regulations (the 'Rebate Regulations") to the extent that the Rebate Regulations are applicable to the Bonds. Unless otherwise indicated, words and phrases used in this Section C with initial letters capitalized have the meanings given to them in the Rebate Regulations. 2. The City understands that pursuant to Section 148(f)(3) of the Code in order to avoid having the Bonds become arbitrage bonds the City is required to pay the Rebate Amount (as defined below), if any, to the United States Treasury at least once every five (5) years as provided in paragraph 3 below; that each such installment must be paid no later than 60 days after each of the computation dates identified in paragraph 3 below; and that the last installment of the Rebate Amount must be paid no later than 60 days after the last maturity of the Bonds is paid or redeemed and shall be in an amount sufficient to pay the remaining balance of the Rebate Amount, if any. 3. The City further understands that pursuant to Section 1.148(3)(0 of the Rebate Regulations the first installment of the Rebate Amount, if any, must be for a computation date that is not later than five (5) years after the Issue Date (Le., December 1, 1994); that subsequent installment payments of the Rebate Amount must be made for a computation date that is not more than five (5) years after the previous computation date for which an installment payment was made; that each installment payment of the Rebate Amount must be in an amount that, when added to the future value, as of the computation date, of previous installment payments of the Rebate Amount equals at least 90 percent of the Rebate Amount as of that date; and that for the final computation date, the final payment of the Rebate Amount must be in an amount which, when added to the to the future value of previous installment payments of the Rebate Amount, equals 100 percent of the Rebate Amount as of that date. The City elects to have the initial Bond Year with respect to the Bonds end on September 2, 1995. Accordingly, the first computation date for purposes of determining the Rebate Amount with respect to the first installment payment to the United States Treasury, if any, will be September 2, 1999, and, unless the Bonds are redeemed or otherwise prepaid on an earlier date, the last computation date for the final BJS241462 -5- payment to the United States Treasury with respect to the Rebate Amount will be September 2, 2014, the date of the redemption of the last maturity of the Bonds. 4. The City understands that the rebate requirement of the Rebate Regulations may be satisfied if the Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are allocated to expenditures for a governmental purpose of the Bonds (Le., acquisition and construction of the Project) in accordance with the following schedule (the "18-Month Expenditure Test"): (i) At least 15 percent within six months (the first spending period); (ii) At least 60 percent within 12 months (the second spending period); (iii) 100 percent within 18 months (the third spending period). The City further understands that in addition to satisfying the 18-Month Expenditure Test (i) the Rebate Requirement must be satisfied for all of the amounts which are excepted from Gross Proceeds as defined in paragraph 5 below, including amounts on deposit in the Redemption Fund (other than earnings on the Redemption Fund) and the Reserve Fund, and (ii) all of the Gross Proceeds of the Bonds must qualify for the initial temporary period under Section 1.148-2(e)(2) of the Rebate Regulations. The City under- stands that all of the Gross Proceeds of the Bonds qualify for the initial three-year temporary period pursuant to Section 1.148-2(e)(2) of the Rebate Regulations because, as discussed in paragraph 9 of Section B of this certificate, the net sale proceeds and investment proceeds of the Bonds are expected to be allocated to expenditures for the acquisition and construction of the Project within three years of the Closing Date, and the City expects to otherwise satisfy the requirements of that section. The City further understands that all of the spending periods in the 18- Month Expenditure Test commence on the Closing Date, and that the City will not fail to satisfy the spending requirement for the third spending period as a result of unspent amounts for Reasonable Retainage if the Reasonable Retainage is allocated to expenditures within 30 months of the Closing Date. For purposes of the definition of "Gross Proceeds" contained in paragraph 5 below, the City does not expect (i) that any amount of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other amount which is not expected to be Gross Proceeds of the Bonds as of the date of this certificate will become Gross Proceeds after the end of the third spending period, or (ii) that any amount of the proceeds of the Bonds will be spent for the repayment of any Grant. 5. The City further understands that for purposes of the 18-Month Expenditure Test, the following terms are defined in the Rebate Regulations as follows: "Grant" means a transfer for a governmental purpose of money or property to a transferee that is not a related party to or an agent of the transferor. The transfer must BJS241462 -6- not impose any obligation or condition to directly or indirectly repay any amount to the transferor. Obligations or conditions intended solely to assure expenditure of the transferred monies in accordance with the governmental purpose of the transfer do not prevent a transfer from being a grant. "Gross Proceeds" means the proceeds of the Bonds except the (i) amounts on deposit in the Redemption Fund; (ii) amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund, so long as the amount on deposit therein does not exceed the Reserve Requirement; (iii) amounts that, as of the Closing Date, are not reasonably expected to be Gross Proceeds but that become Gross Proceeds after the end of the third spending period; (iv) amounts representing sale or investment proceeds derived from payments under any Purpose Investment of the proceeds of the Bonds; and (v) amounts representing repayments of Grants financed by the Bonds. For purposes of determining compliance with the with the first two spending periods, the amount of investment proceeds included in Gross Proceeds of the Bonds will be determined based on the City's reasonable expectations on the Closing Date. "Purpose Investment" means an investment that is acquired to carry out the governmental purpose of the Bonds (Le., acquisition and construction of the Project). "Reasonable Retainage" means an amount not to exceed five percent of net sale proceeds of the Bonds as of the end of the third spending period, that is retained for reasonable business purposes relating to the construction financed with the proceeds of the Bonds. For example, reasonable retainage may include a retention to ensure or promote compliance with a construction contract in circumstances in which the retained amount is not yet payable, or in which the City reasonably determines that a dispute exists regarding completion or payment. 6. The City further understands that if the 18-Month Expenditure Test is not satisfied, the Rebate Requirement must be satisfied as provided in paragraphs 2 and 3 above. 7. The City further understands that the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund and the Costs of Issuance Fund will be subject to the Rebate Requirement regardless of whether the 18-Month Expenditure Test is satisfied. D. Miscellaneous 1. There are no other obligations of the City which (i) are issued at substantially the same time as the Bonds; (ii) are sold pursuant to a common plan of financing together with the Bonds; and (iii)will be paid out of substantially the same source of funds (or will have substantially the same claim to be paid out of substantially the same source of funds) as the Bonds. 2. No portion of the Bonds will constitute a private activity bond within the meaning of Section 141(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), the BJS241462 -7- average maturity of the Bonds is greater than five (5) years, and none of the interest rates on the Bonds vary during the term of the Bonds. I understand that as a consequence of the foregoing, investment earnings, if any, on the Redemption Fund (other than investment earnings on the amount on deposit in the Interest Account representing capitalized interest) will be excluded for the purposes of computation of the amount required to be rebated to the United States as referenced in paragraph 1 above without regard to the total amount of said earnings. I further understand that pursuant to Section 141 (a) of the Code, the Bonds would be "private activity bonds" if more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds would be used for any private business use, and if the payment of the principal of, or interest on, more than 10 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds was directly or indirectly secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use or payments in respect of such property, or was to be derived from payments (whether or not to the City) in respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for private business use. 3. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used as a substitute for other funds (replacement funds) which are otherwise expected to be available to be used as a source of financing for any part of the costs of the Project or for the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds, and which have been or will be invested in securities, obligations, annuity contracts or other investment-type property having a yield in excess of the yield on the Bonds. 4. Except as specified herein, no funds which have been or will be used to acquire, directly or indirectly, securities, obligations, annuity contracts or other investment-type property producing a yield in excess of the yield on the Bonds have been or will be pledged to the payment of Debt Service on the Bonds, and no transaction has been entered into, directly or indirectly, in connection with the Bonds involving the swap of fixed rate obligations for variable rate obligations or vice versa. 5. The transactions discussed in this certificate do not represent an exploitation of the difference between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates to gain a material financial advantage, and will not increase the burden on the market for tax-exempt obligations, in that the Bonds are not being issued in an amount greater than is necessary, nor are they being issued sooner, or to be outstanding longer than necessary. 6. The City has not been notified of any listing of it by the Internal Revenue Service as an issuer that may not certify its bonds. 7. To the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the facts recited above are correct, the expectations contained above are reasonable, and the covenants of the City made with respect to the investment of moneys as set forth in the Agreement and in this certificate are intended to constitute covenants on the part of the City on which Bond Counsel and the Owners of the Bonds are entitled to rely with respect to the exclusion from BJS241462 -8- gross income for purposes of federal income taxation of interest on the Bonds received by the Owners of the Bonds.

The Reserve Fund is established to provide security for payment of debt service on the Bonds over their term and to provide for the sale of the Bonds at marketable interest rates and is funded in the amount of$183,200.00, which amount is less than or equal to 10% of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, maximum annual debt service on the Bonds, or 125% of average annual debt service with respect to the Bonds. After an examination of the purposes for which the Reserve Fund has been established, we are of the opinion that the funding of the Reserve Fund is a vital factor in marketing the Bonds at interest rates comparable to those of other obligations of a similar type, and that the amount initially deposited in the Reserve Fund is reasonably required for the purposes for which the Reserve Fund has been established. A substantial number (more than ten percent) of each maturity of the Bonds have been initially offered to the public at the prices set forth on the cover of the Official Statement prepared in connection with the sale of the Bonds; consequently, the issue price of the Bonds is $1,832,000.00. The yield on the Bonds using an issue price of$1,832,000.00 is 7.976913%. Dated: December 1, 1994. STONE & YOUNGBERG By: Dawn Vincent BJS241243
