We further certify that no controversy or litigation is pending, prayed or threatened involving the incorporation, organization, existence or boundaries of the City, or the titles of the aforesaid officers to their respective positions, or the proceedings incident to the authorization of the Bonds or in any way concerning the validity of the Bonds or the power and duty of the City to appropriate and apply the Net Revenues from the operation of the Municipal Electric Light and Power Plant and System of the City (the "Utility") to the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and that none of the proceedings incident to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds has been repealed or rescinded. We further certify that no appeal of the decision of the City Council to issue the Bonds has been taken to the district court. 4- DORSEY & WIETNEY LLP, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA 1% Ames/419370-28/FDC & Ltr We further certify that all meetings held in connection with the Bonds were open to the public at a place reasonably accessible to the public and that notice was given at least 24 hours prior to the commencement of all meetings by advising the news media who requested notice of the time, date, place and the tentative agenda and by posting such notice and agenda at the City Hall or principal office of the City on a bulletin board or other prominent place which is easily accessible to the public and is the place designated for the purpose of posting notices of meetings. The Bonds are payable from the Net Revenues of the Utility, which will be collected in the City's Electric Revenue Bond Sinking Fund and applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds on each January I and July I and principal of the Bonds on each January I (the 12-month period ending on each January I being herein referred to as a "Bond Year"); the Sinking Fund is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest payments within each Bond Year; the Sinking Fund will be depleted at least once each Bond Year except for a reasonable carryover amount not to exceed the greater of (i) the earnings on the fund for the immediately preceding Bond Year; or (ii) 1/12 of the principal and interest payments on the Bonds for the immediately preceding Bond Year; amounts on deposit in the Sinking Fund will be invested by the City without restriction as to yield for a period of 13 months after their date of deposit. We further certify that there are no other obligations of any kind now outstanding secured by or payable from the revenues to be derived from the operation of the Utility. We further certify as follows: I The estimated sources and uses of funds in connection with the Bonds are as follows: USES Purchase price of Bonds $ 7,561,998.12 Transfer from 1993 Bond Debt Service Fund $ 1,438,488.00 Transfer from 1993 Bond Reserve Fund) $ 1,986,010.00 $10,986,496.12 Deposit to Current Refunding Account $10,180,662.33 Costs of issuance $ 51,000.00 Reserve Fund for Refunding Bonds $ 752,500.00 Excess Proceeds $ 2,333.79 $10,986,496.12 2. The sales proceeds of the Bonds are $7,611,331.35 (the "Sales Proceeds"), the same being the Issue Price thereof. 3. The net sales proceeds of the Bonds are $6,858,831.35 (the "Net Sales Proceeds"), the same being the Sales Proceeds as determined in number 2 above -2- DORSEY & WMTNEY LLP, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA Arnes/419370-28/FDC & Ltr ($7,611,331.35), less the portion of such Sales Proceeds deposited into a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund ($752,500). 4. $6,756,164.33 of the Net Sales Proceeds has been deposited into a separate Refunding Account and, together with interest earnings thereon and other legally available funds of the City, will be applied to the redemption of the Refunded Obligations on the Redemption Date and, until so applied, will be invested by the City without restriction as to yield. 5. $51,000 of the Net Sales Proceeds will be disbursed to pay the issuance costs related to the issuance of the Bonds within 30 days of the date hereof. Until such time, the aforementioned amount may be invested without restriction as to yield. 6. $2,333.79 (excess proceeds) will be set aside and deposited into the City's Electric Revenue Bond Sinking Fund as provided in the Resolution and used to pay interest on the Bonds due on the first interest payment date. 7. (a) All of the original and investment proceeds of the Refunded Obligations have been expended for the purpose for which they were issued. (b) Not more than 50% of the proceeds of the Refunded Obligations were invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(6)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more (e.g., a four-year guaranteed investment contract or a Treasury Obligation that does not mature for four years). (c) Not more than 50% of the Net Sales Proceeds will be invested in nonpurpose investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(6)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more (e.g., a four-year guaranteed investment contract or a Treasury Obligation that does not mature for four years). 8. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds does not exceed 120% of the weighted average of the remaining reasonably expected economic life of the facilities originally financed by the Refunded Obligations. 9. To our best knowledge and belief, there are no facts, estimates or circumstances which would materially change the foregoing conclusions. On the basis of the foregoing, it is not expected that the Net Sales Proceeds will be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" under Section 148 of the Code and the regulations prescribed under that section. The City has not been notified of any listing or proposed listing of it by the Internal Revenue Service as a bond issuer whose arbitrage certifications may not be relied upon. We further certify that the original purchaser of the Bonds has advised the City that the reasonably expected reoffering price of the Bonds to the public is $7,611,331.35. -3- DORSEY & WFUTNEY LLP, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA Ames/419370-28/FDC & Ur IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto affixed our hands and the seal of the aforementioned City, as of October 15, 2002.
