Tax Exemption
The Tax Exemption Certificate is an important document and contains important
information concerning the calculated yield on the Bonds and a number of covenants and
obligations on the part of the City. This certificate should be retained as a part of the
City's permanent records. I will not attempt to summarize all of the matters which are
included in this certificate but I do want to point out some important ones.
Tax exemption is based in part upon the fact that the use of the facilities to be
acquired by the City with the proceeds will be for the benefit of the public and will not be
used in the private trade or business of any business or non-tax-exempt entity. The
properties acquired with the Bond proceeds must not be sold or diverted to any private or
nonpublic use unless the significance of that action is reviewed by bond counsel.

In addition, the Tax Exemption Certificate sets forth the best knowledge and belief
which you have as of today concerning the timely expenditure of the proceeds as the City
reasonably expects expenditures to occur. If for any reason the City finds it will be
prevented from expending the Bond proceeds fully within three years, that matter should
be referred to us.
These Bonds are also issued under the expectation that the City will be exempt
from the requirement to rebate arbitrage earnings to the United States Government since
you intend to spend the proceeds of the Bonds for construction purposes within two (2)
years of issuance and meet the other requirements of the two-year expenditure exemption
from the rebate provisions.
There are a number of other general promises and commitments by the City to
take or refrain from action, which are necessary to maintain the tax exemption of these
Bonds. You should recognize that these promises and commitments are required of the
City on an ongoing basis and that the possibility of some additional future action does
exist.
ContinuingLDisclosure Certificate
The Continuing Disclosure Certificate requires the City to provide annual financial
information and operating data to certain information repositories so long as the Bonds
are outstanding, and also to provide notice to those repositories if certain material events
occur which could impact the ability to pay principal and interest on the Bonds. The
information to be provided annually is for the most part the same sort of data which is
included in the Official Statement. The eleven (11) material events which must be
reported are detailed in the certificate, but other events which would be of concern to the
rating agencies or bondholders also should be considered for disclosure under the anti-
fraud provisions of the federal securities laws.
These disclosure requirements are ongoing and it will be important to designate an
appropriate contact person who will have a primary responsibility for preparing and
coordinating the filing of the annual financial information, operating data and any event
notices.
The penalties for violation of the rule fall ultimately on the issuer of the bonds,
because underwriters may be precluded from agreeing to underwrite or bid on bonds of
issuers who have not complied with their disclosure obligations. Failure to comply

therefore may result in fewer bids and ultimately no bids or the inability to secure an
underwriter for an issue.
Closing_Matters.
As you know, closing of this issue is scheduled to occur on or about November 4,
2008. At the time of closing, the "Purchaser's" copies of the above items and the original
Bonds will be delivered to the Purchaser of the Bonds in exchange for the agreed
purchase price. Our legal opinion also will be delivered to the Purchaser at that time.
Should you have any questions, or if we can be of any assistance in completing the
enclosed items, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Yours very truly,

Section 7 Issuance of Bonds in Book-Entry Form; Replacement Bonds.
(a) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Resolution regarding
registration, ownership, transfer, payment and exchange of the Bonds, unless the Issuer
determines to permit the exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in the Authorized
Denominations, the Bonds shall be issued as Depository Bonds in denominations of the
entire principal amount of each maturity of Bonds (or, if a portion of the principal amount
is prepaid, the principal amount less the prepaid amount); and such Depository Bonds
shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. Payment of semi-
annual interest for any Depository Bond shall be made by wire transferor New York
Clearing House or equivalent next day funds to the account of Cede & Co. on the
interest payment date for the Bonds at the address indicated in or pursuant to the
Representation Letter.
(b) With respect to Depository Bonds, neither the Issuer nor the Paying Agent
shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant or to any Beneficial Owner.
Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Issuer nor the Paying
Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the
records of DTC or its nominee or of any Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any
other person, other than DTC or its nominee, of any notice with respect to the Bonds,
(iii) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other
than DTC or its nominee, of any amount with respect to the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on the Bonds, or (iv) the failure of DTC to provide any information or
notification on behalf of any Participant or Beneficial Owner.
The Issuer and the Paying Agent may treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem
DTC or its nominee to be, the absolute owner of each Bond for the purpose of payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of all
other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with
respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever (except for the giving of
certain Bondholder consents, in accordance with the practices and procedures of DTC
as may be applicable thereto). The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the Bondholders as shown
on the Registration Books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent so paid. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Resolution to the contrary (including without limitation those provisions relating to
the surrender of Bonds, registration thereof, and issuance in Authorized
Denominations), as long as the Bonds are Depository Bonds, full effect shall be given to
the Representation Letter and the procedures and practices of DTC thereunder, and the
Paying Agent shall comply therewith.
-9-
(c) Upon (i) a determination by the Issuer that DTC is no longer able to carry
out its functions or is otherwise determined unsatisfactory, or (ii) a determination by
DTC that the Bonds are no longer eligible for its depository services or (iii) a
determination by the Paying Agent that DTC has resigned or discontinued its services
for the Bonds, if such substitution is authorized by law, the Issuer shall (A) designate a
satisfactory substitute depository as set forth below or, if a satisfactory substitute is not
found, (B) provide for the exchange of Depository Bonds for replacement Bonds in
Authorized Denominations.
(d) To the extent authorized by law, if the Issuer determines to provide for the
exchange of Depository Bonds for Bonds in Authorized Denominations, the Issuer shall
so notify the Paying Agent and shall provide the Registrar with a supply of executed
unauthenticated Bonds to be so exchanged. The Registrar shall thereupon notify the
owners of the Bonds and provide for such exchange, and to the extent that the
Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the owners, the Bonds will be
delivered in appropriate form, content and Authorized Denominations to the Beneficial
Owners, as their interests appear.
(e) Any substitute depository shall be designated in writing by the Issuer to
the Paying Agent. Any such substitute depository shall be a qualified and registered
"clearing agency" as provided in Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. The substitute depository shall provide for (i) immobilization of the
Depository Bonds, (ii) registration and transfer of interests in Depository Bonds by book
entries made on records of the depository or its nominee and (iii) payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds in accordance with and as such interests
may appear with respect to such book entries.
Section 8. Registratioh of Bonds; Appointment of Registrar; Transfer;
Ownership; Delivery; and Cancellation.
(a) Registration. The ownership of Bonds may be transferred only by the
making of an entry upon the books kept for the registration and transfer of ownership of
the Bonds, and in no other way. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is hereby
appointed as Bond Registrar under the terms of this Resolution and under the
provisions of a separate agreement with the Issuer filed herewith which is made a part
hereof by this reference. Registrar shall maintain the books of the Issuer for the
registration of ownership of the Bonds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds as provided in this Resolution. All Bonds shall be negotiable as provided in
Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code and Section 384.31 of the Code of Iowa,
subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the Bonds and in this
Resolution.
(b) Transfer. The ownership of any Bond may be transferred only upon the
Registration Books kept for the registration and transfer of Bonds and only upon
surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar together with an assignment duly
- 10-
executed by the holder or his duly authorized attorney in fact in such form as shall be
satisfactory to the Registrar, along with the address and social security number or
federal employer identification number of such transferee (or, if registration is to be
made in the name of multiple individuals, of all such transferees). In the event that the
address of the registered owner of a Bond (other than a registered owner which is the
nominee of the broker or dealer in question) is that of a broker or dealer, there must be
disclosed on the Registration Books the information pertaining to the registered owner
required above. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, a new fully registered Bond, of
any denomination or denominations permitted by this Resolution in aggregate principal
amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of such transferred
fully registered Bond, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same
date or dates shall be delivered by the Registrar.
(c) Registration of Transferred Bonds. In all cases of the transfer of the Bonds,
the Registrar shall register, at the earliest practicable time, on the Registration Books,
the Bonds, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
(d) Ownership. As to any Bond, the person in whose name the ownership of the
same shall be registered on the Registration Books of the Registrar shall be deemed
and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on
account of the principal of any such Bonds and the premium, if any, and interest thereon
shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal
representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge
the liability upon such Bond, including the interest thereon, to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(e) Cancellation. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be reissued
but shall be cancelled by the Registrar. All Bonds which are cancelled by the Registrar
shall be destroyed and a certificate of the destruction thereof shall be furnished
promptly to the Issuer; provided that if the Issuer shall so direct, the Registrar shall
forward the cancelled Bonds to the Issuer.
(f) Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any payment check representing
payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds is returned to the Paying Agent or if any
bond is not presented for payment of principal at the maturity or redemption date, if
funds sufficient to pay such principal of or interest on Bonds shall have been made
available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owner thereof, all liability of the
Issuer to the owner thereof for such interest or payment of such Bonds shall forthwith
cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of
the Paying Agent to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit
of the owner of such Bonds who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds
for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Resolution or on, or with respect
to, such interest or Bonds. The Paying Agent's obligation to hold such funds shall
continue for a period equal to two years and six months following the date on which
such interest or principal became due, whether at maturity, or at the date fixed for
-11-
redemption thereof, or otherwise, at which time the Paying Agent, shall surrender any
remaining funds so held to the Issuer, whereupon any claim under this Resolution by
the Owners of such interest or Bonds of whatever nature shall be made upon the Issuer.
(g) Registration and Transfer Fees. The Registrar may furnish to each owner, at
the Issuer's expense, one bond for each annual maturity. The Registrar shall furnish
additional bonds in lesser denominations (but not less than the minimum denomination)
to an owner who so requests.

any outstanding Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer
shall at the request of Registrar authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and
amount as the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and
substitution for such mutilated Bond to Registrar, upon surrender of such mutilated
Bond, or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with
the Registrar evidence satisfactory to the Registrar and Issuer that such Bond has been
destroyed, stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the
Registrar and Issuer with satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other
reasonable regulations as the Issuer or its agent may prescribe and paying such
expenses as the Issuer may incur in connection therewith.
Section 10. Record Date. Payments of principal and interest, otherwise than
upon full redemption, made in respect of any Bond, shall be made to the registered
holder thereof or to their designated agent as the same appear on the books of the
Registrar on the 15th day preceding the payment date. All such payments shall fully
discharge the obligations of the Issuer in respect of such Bonds to the extent of the
payments so made. Payment of principal shall only be made upon surrender of the
Bond to the Paying Agent.
Section 11. Execution Authentication and Delivery of the Bonds. Upon the
adoption of this Resolution, the Mayor and Clerk shall execute and deliver the Bonds to
the Registrar, who shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver the same to or upon order
of the Purchaser. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be
entitled to any right or benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly endorse and
