25% Taxable 3.9698%
Finance Charge of the Certificates (Sum of all fees/charges paid to third parties): All Tax

Certificates, the true interest cost of the Certificates, the finance charges thereof, the amount
of proceeds received therefrom and total payment amount with respect thereto may differ
from such good faith estimates due to (a) the actual date of the sale of the Certificates being
different than the date assumed for purposes of such estimates, (b) the actual principal
amount of Certificates sold being different from the estimated amount used for purposes of
such estimates, (c) the actual amortization of the Certificates being different than the
amortization assumed for purposes of such estimates, (d) the actual market interest rates at
the time of sale of the Certificates being different than those estimated for purposes of such
the mix of tax exempt and taxable Certificates), or a combination of such factors. The actual
date of sale of the Certificates and the actual principal amount of Certificates sold will be
determined by the City based on the timing of the need for proceeds of the Certificates and
other factors. The actual interest rates borne by the Certificates will depend on market
interest rates at the time of sale thereof. The actual amortization of the Certificates will also
depend, in part, on market interest rates at the time of sale thereof. Market interest rates are
affected by economic and other factors beyond the control of the City.
