(h) The City expects to spend on costs of the Improvcments or costs of issuance of the Bonds hy ] anuary 31, 2008, all of the sale proceeds of the Bonds, except the amounts deposited in the Revolving Fund. (i) The Bonds are not "hedge bonds" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code. The City expects to spend not less than 85 percent of the sale proceeds of the Bonds within three years after the date hereof and less than 50 percent of the proceeds of the Bonds are invested in nonpurpose investments having a substantially guaranteed yield for four years or more. (j) Procceds of thc Bonds and investment income thereon to be used to fInance the costs of the improvements and pay costs of issuance of the Bonds will be invested for a temporary period pursuant to Section 1.148-2(e)(2) of the Regulations ending on the earlier of: (i) three years from the date hereof (April 26, 2009), or (ii) the date that the Improvements would be completed in the exercise of due diligence and all costs thereof promptly paid.

The City reasonably expects that during the term of the Bonds no private business use will be made of the Improvements and that no private payments or security will be made or furnished that would cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 ofthe Code and applicable Regulations. No proceeds of the Bonds are being or will be loaned to any nongovernmental person and the special assessments levied in respect of the Improvements meet the exception for tax assessment loans contained in Section 1.141-5( cl) of the Regulations. The City reasonably expects that the Bonds will not be private activity bonds within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. 4 . (1) No other obligations of the City (a) arc being issued at substantially the same time as the Bonds, (b) are being sold pursuant to the same plan of financing as the Bonds, and (c) are reasonably expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds (determined without regard to guarantecs from unrelated parties) as will be used to pay the Bonds, within the meaning of Section 1.150-1 (c) of the Rcgulations. (m) The yield of the Bonds, computed in accordance with Section 148 of the Code and applicable Regulations, is 4.379054% per annum. (n) The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable from the Special Improvement District No. 684 Fund (the "District Fund") of the City. The City expects to use only the District Fund to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The special assessments appropriated to the District Fund arc expected to produce amounts suffIcient to pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds when due. Whenever there will be money in the Principal and Interest Accounts in the District Fund on any interest payment date, after paying interest on all Bonds then due, either from the prepayment of special assessments levied on the benefitted property or from the transfer of surplus money from the Construction Account to the Principal Account, the Finance Director is required by law to call for redemption outstanding Bonds or principal installments thereof which, together with the interest thereon to the date of redemption, will equal the amount on hand in the Principal and Interest Accounts on that date. The Principal and Interest Accounts will be used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within each bond year and will be fully depleted at least once a year on July 1 in each bond year (the 12-month period ending on July 1), except for a reasonable carryover amount which is not expected to exceed the greater of (i) the earnings on money in the Principal and Interest Accounts for the preceding bond year or (ii) one-twelfth ofthc annual debt servicc on the Bonds in the preceding bond year. Consequently, the amounts on deposit in the Principal and Interest Accounts constitute a "bona fide debt service fund" for the Bonds within the meaning of Section 1.148-1(b) of the Regulations. Consequently, such amounts may be invested at an unrestrictcd yield for a temporary period of 13 months. (0) On the first day of each month commencing May 1, 2006, the Finance Director will detern1ine the amount on hand in the Principal and Interest Accounts in the District Fund. If any aUlOunt has been on deposit therein for a period longer than 13 months, such amount will not be invested at a yield greater than the yicld of the Bonds (4.379054%), except as provided in paragraph 5(t) hereof~ ifand to the extent such restriction is necessary to prevent the Bonds from heing arhitrage honds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations. (p) The City has established the Revolving Fund pursuant to Montana Code Annotated, Sections 7-12-4221 to 7-12-4229, as amended, to secure certain special improvement district bonds and warrants of the City, including the Bonds. The City shall deposit in the Rcvolving Fund proceeds ofthe Bonds in the amount of$68,843.45, and from proceeds of the prepayments on the improvements the amount of$10,556.55. The amount on deposit therein, atler giving effect to the deposit from the proceeds of the 5 . . Bonds and the prepayments, is $507,269. This amount secures special improvement district bonds and warrants of the City, including the Bonds, issued in the original aggregate principal amount of $6,884,869. Unless the Regulations otherwise require, the City will allocate amounts on hand in the Revolving Fund, as a commingled reserve fund as provided in Section 1.148- 6( e)( 6 )(i) of the Regulations, to outstanding issues of special improvement district honds or warrants secured thereby in proportion to their respective original principal amounts. The City shall reallocate funds on deposit in the Revolving Fund to outstanding issues of honds or warrants secured thereby upon the issuance or rctirement of a series of bonds or warrants secured thereby and, ifnot done otherwise, at least every three years. (q) The Rcvolving Fund is required for the marketability of the Bonds and constitutes a "reasonably required reserve" for the Bonds within the meaning of Section 148( d) of the Code and Section 1. 148-2(f) of the Regulations to the extent that the amount on deposit in the Revolving Fund allocahle to the Bonds (the "Reserve Amount") does not excecd the Reserve Limitation (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this paragraph (r), the "Reserve Limitation" is equal, as of the date of calculation, to the least of: (i) ten percent (10%) of the proceeds of the Bonds ($137,686.90); (ii) the maximum amount of principal and interest payable on the Bonds in the current or any future calendar year of the City (initially, $142,660.45), or (iii) 1250/.) of the average debt service on the Bonds payable in any calendar year of the City during the teml of the Bonds (initially, $118,276.37). Any portion of the Reserve Amount that is in excess of the Reserve Limitation shall not he invested at a yield in excess of the yield of the Bonds (4.379054%), except as permitted by paragraph Set) hereof. As of the date hereof, the Reserve Amount is $101,446.08. All ofthe Reserve Amount, determined as ofthe date hereof, may be invested at an unrestricted Yield pursuant to this paragraph 5(r). (r) Except as described in this Section 5, the City has not created or established, and does not expect to create or establish, any sinking or similar fund which is reasonahly expected to be used to pay debt service on the Bonds or which is pledged as collateral to secure the Bonds. No amounts in any other funds or accounts of the City are reserved tor or pledged to the payment of debt service on the Bonds or will he used to replace funds that will be used to pay debt service on the Bonds. (s) An aggregate amount not to exceed the "minor portion" amount for the Bonds ($68,843.45) may be invested pursuant to Section 148(e) of the Code without restriction as to yield. To the extent (i) the proeceds of the Bonds and investment income thereon in the Construction Account in the District Fund are invested beyond the date described in paragraph 5(j) hereof, (ii) an amount has heen on hand in the Principal and Interest Accounts for a period longer than 13 months and (iii) the Reserve Amount exceeds the Reserve Limitation described in paragraph 5(r) hereof~ such amounts in the aggregate may be invested up to the minor portion amount at a yield greater than the yield of the Bonds. 6 . . (t) The Bonds will not he outstanding longer than necessary, within the meaning of Section 1.148-1(c)(4) of the Regulations. The weighted average maturity of the Bonds (10.038 years) does not exceed 120 percent of the average reasonably expected economic life ofthe Improvements. Such average reasonably expected economic life is not less than 15 years. (u) The sale proceeds of the Bonds do not exceed the amount necessary to achieve the governmental purposes of the Bonds. No portion of the Bonds is issued solely for the purpose of investing such portion at a materially higher yield as less than a major portion. None of the proceeds ofthe Bonds will be used directly or indirectly to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire obligations with a yield that is materially higher than the Yield of the Bonds. (v) We have investigated the facts, estimates and circumstances surrounding the issuance of the Bonds, which are descrihed summarily in this Certificate. To the best of our knowledge and belief~ such facts, estimates and circumstances are correct and complete and the City's expectations as to future events, which are based thereon, are in all respects reasonable and made in good faith. To the extent that the expectations of the City are based upon estimates and representations made by others, including the Purchaser, we have examined such estimates and representations and consider them to be reasonable and correct. Any statements in this CertitIeate involving future events, whether or not expressly so stated, are intended as expectations of the City and not as rcpresentations of fact. On the basis of such facts, estimates and circumstances, it is expected that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a manner that would not cause the Bonds to be considered "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, and there are no present facts, estimates or circumstances which would change the foregoing conclusion. 6. The provisions of this Section 6 are intended to establish and provide for compliance by the City with Treasury Regulations, Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the "reimbursement proceeds" of the Bonds, being those proceeds which will be used hy the City to reimburse itself tor any expenditure with respect to the Improvements which the City paid or will have paid prior to the issuance of the Bonds (a "Reimbursement Expenditure"). The City hereby certifies and covenants as follows: (a) Except as hereinafter provided, on or before the date of payment of any Reimbursement Expenditure, the City made or will have made a written declaration of the City's offIcial intent (the "Declaration") which complies with the provisions of Section 1.150-2(d) and (e) of the Reimhursement Regulations. The Declaration need not cover, however, Reimbursement Expenditures: (i) to be paid or reimbursed from sources other than the Bonds, (ii) constituting "preliminary expenditures" (within the meaning of Section 1.150-2(t)(2) ofthe Regulations) f()r the Improvements, including engineering or architectural expenses and similar preparatory expenses, which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% ofthe "issue price" of the Bonds, (iii) in a "de minim us" amount (as defined 7 . , in Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations), i.e., $68,843.45; or (iv) Reimbursement Expenditures paid not more than 60 days before the date of the Declaration. (b) As of the date of the Declaration, no funds trom sources other than the Bonds were, or were reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside by thc City to provide financing for the Reimbursement Expenditure to he reimhursed from proceeds of the Bonds. (c) Each Reimbursement Expenditure to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds, other than costs of issuing the Bonds, is a capital expenditure (i.e., a cost that is properly chargeable to capital account (or would he with a proper election) under general federal income tax principles). (d) The "reimbursement allocation" described in the Reimbursement Regulations for each Reimbursement Expenditure to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds shall be made forthwith following (but not prior to) the issuance of the Bonds and in all events within the period ending on the date which is 18 months after the later of: (i) the date of payment of the Rcimbursement Expenditure or (ii) the Improvements are 1lrst placed in service or abandoned, but in no event more than three years after the Reimbursement Expenditure is paid. (c) Each such rc1mbursement allocation will be evidenced by an entry on the omcial books or records of the City maintained for and in connection with the Bonds and will specifIcally identify the actual prior Reimbursement Expenditure to be reimbursed from proceeds of the Bonds. (f) The City is unaware of any facts or circumstances which would cause it to question the reasonahleness or accuracy ofthis Section 6 or of the Declaration, or its compliance with any of the covenants herein contained. 7.
