The proceeds of the Series 2001 Bonds will be provided to the Trustee for deposit in the Acquisition Fund pursuant to the Indenture and used to finance all or a portion of the costs of acquisition, construction, improving and equipping of improvements to Rosenblatt Stadium located in southeastern Omaha, Nebraska (the "Project"), including reimbursing the City of Omaha for certain of its prior expenditures for the Project. The Series 2001 Bonds are Additional Bonds under the Indenture and will be ratably secured on a parity with the Corporation's $4,440,000 Lease Revenue Bonds (Rosenblatt Stadium Project) Series 1998A Bonds (the "Series 1998A Bonds") and its $3,940,000 Lease Revenue Bonds (Rosenblatt Stadium Project) Series 1998B Bonds (the "Series 1998B Bonds," and together with the Series 1998A Bonds, the "Series 1998 Bonds," and collectively with the Series 2001 Bonds, the "Bonds"), which were previously issued under the Indenture, by a pledge of the cash rents payable by the City of Omaha, Nebraska (the "City") under the Lease-Purchase Agreement dated as of.November 1, 1998, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease-Purchase Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001 (as amended, the "Agreement"), each by and between the Corporation and the City and assigned by the Corporation to the Trustee under the Indenture. The Trustee will receive such cash rentals and act as Paying Agent for the Series 2001 Bonds. THE CORPORATION The Corporation was incorporated on October 8, 1998 under the Nebraska Nonprofit Corporation Act, Sections 21-1901-21-19,177, R.R.S. Neb. 1997, as amended. The only purpose for which the Corporation was organized is to assist the City with the acquisition, 01-361723.01 construction, improving and equipping of stadium facilities within the geographical boundaries of the City of Omaha,Nebraska. The Corporation has three directors, who serve without compensation. Their names and principal occupations are as follows: Name and Office Occupation Gregory A. Peterson, President Assistant Planning Director for the City of Omaha Joseph A. Mangiamelli, Vice President Assistant to the Mayor of the City of Omaha , Secretary/Treasurer Public Events Manager for the City of Omaha The three directors named above hold office until death or resignation, in which case the City may designate a successor, but if the City does not designate a successor within 30 days after the death or resignation, the remaining directors shall appoint a successor. THE PROJECT The Corporation will use the proceeds of the Series 2001 Bonds to pay all or a portion of the costs of acquiring, constructing, improving and equipping the Project, including reimbursing the City for certain prior expenditures for the Project. The Project consists of improvements, including , to Rosenblatt Stadium, the site of the annual College World Series and the home of the Omaha Royals, a triple-A professional baseball club. The Project site is owned by the City, which is leasing the Project site to the Corporation under the Amended and Restated Site Lease Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001 (the "Lease") by and between the City and the Corporation for a term ending on November 1, 2021, at a rental of $10 per year, which was prepaid upon the delivery of the Bonds. See "THE LEASE." ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS Following are the estimated sources and uses of the Bond proceeds: Sources of Funds Bond Proceeds $ [7,600,000].00 Interest from November 1 to date of closing Total $ 01-361723.01 2 Uses of Funds Acquisition Fund Deposit $ Bond Fund Deposit Underwriter's Discount and Costs of Issuance Total $ SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2001 BONDS General The Corporation and the City have entered into the Agreement whereby the Corporation has leased the Project to the City for a period ending on November 1, 2021. Under the Agreement, the City is obligated to pay, semiannually, cash rentals equal in amount to the principal of and interest on the Bonds, which cash rental payments will be due in such amounts and at such times as to provide sufficient funds to meet the principal and interest payments on the Bonds as the same become due. The City is also obligated to provide insurance and pay any taxes, maintenance expenses and other miscellaneous expenses so that the cash rentals are net to the Corporation. See"THE AGREEMENT." The cash rentals due from the City will be assigned to and received by the Trustee for payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. Under Section 5.17 of the Home Rule Charter of the City of Omaha, 1956, as amended (the "City Charter"), the City is specifically authorized to enter into lease-purchase agreements, and, under Section 5.27 of the City Charter, the amount of any such lease-purchase agreement is not chargeable against the City's debt limit. The City's obligations under the Agreement are general obligations of the City payable from the City's General Fund each year of the lease-purchase term on the same basis as operating expenses and other contractual obligations of the City. The -Agreement is an unconditional obligation of the City and is not subject to annual renewal. The City is required to annually include in its General Fund budget appropriations for paying the lease-purchase obligations. The City's primary sources of General Fund revenues are: (a) A general property tax not exceeding $.6125 per $100 of actual taxable value plus certain other amounts more fully described under the caption "AUTHORITY TO LEVY TAXES" in Appendix B hereto. (b) A city sales and use tax of 1%2%. As described under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2001 BONDS—Changes to State Property Tax System," the City's levy is limited, with certain exceptions, to $.45 per $100 of actual taxable valuation effective July 1, 2001. The City's [2001] General Fund levy is $. per $100 of actual taxable valuation. See the captions "CITY OF OMAHA GENERAL FUND" and "AUTHORITY TO LEVY TAXES" in Appendix B for further details on the City's sources of revenue. 01-361723.01 3 The Bonds are payable from and secured solely by the cash rentals payable by the City. The Corporation has no assets other than the Project, or revenues other than such cash rentals. Section 13 of the Agreement contains the following provision: City agrees that no delay, failure or insufficiency, for any reason whatsoever (including, in particular, but without limitation, an insufficiency in the amount of Bond proceeds to pay the cost of the Project), in the acquisition, construction or operation of the Project, or any part thereof, shall entitle City to terminate this Agreement or operate in any way to suspend, abate or reduce the Rental Payments due or to become due under the terms of. . . this Agreement. Changes to State Property Tax System The State of Nebraska's system of assessing and taxing personal property for purposes of local ad valorem taxation for support of local political subdivisions, including the City, has been the subject in recent years of constitutional amendment, legislation and litigation the result of which has been to substantially resolve certain challenges to the validity of the tax system. However, the State of Nebraska's system of assessing and taxing real and personal property has continued to be the object of considerable controversy, legal challenges and legislative action. Governmental units in Nebraska may not adopt budgets for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 1998 in excess of 102.5% of the prior fiscal year's budget plus allowable growth (which includes increases in taxable valuation for such things as new construction and annexations). However, such budgetary limitations do not apply to;among other things, revenue pledged to retire bonded indebtedness or budgeted for capital improvements. Governmental units may exceed the budget limit for a given fiscal year by up to an additional 1% upon the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the governing body or in such amount as is approved by a majority vote of the electorate. Effective July 1, 1998, the property tax levies of incorporated cities and villages, such as the City, are limited to.a maximum of 450/$100 of taxable valuation (plus an additional 50/$100 to pay the municipality's share of revenue required under interlocal agreements). The levy limit does not apply to levies for preexisting lease-purchase contracts approved prior to July 1, 1998, to bonded indebtedness approved according to law and secured by a levy on property and to pay judgments. (The City's 2001 General Fund levy, exclusive of such unlimited levies, is _¢/$100 of taxable valuation.) A political subdivision may exceed its levy limitation for a period of up to five years by majority vote of the electorate. There can be no assurance that Nebraska's system of assessing and taxing real and personal property will remain substantially unchanged, given the possibility of further legislation and litigation. Such changes could materially and adversely affect the amount of property tax revenues the City and other local governments could collect in future years. The City does not believe, however, that the Nebraska Legislature would leave the City without adequate taxing resources to pay for its programs and meet its financial obligations, including the repayment of its bonds, lease-purchase obligations and other obligations, but not necessarily including tax allocation bonds, such as the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel will be rendered based on the law existing as of the date of issuance of the Bonds and in reliance upon general legal 01-361723.01 4 presumptions in favor of the constitutionality of statutes and upon the holdings of existing case law. There can be no assurance that Nebraska's system of assessing and taxing real and personal property will remain substantially unchanged, given the possibility of additional legislation, constitutional initiatives and referendums and litigation.. Such changes could materially and adversely affect the amount of property tax and other revenues the City could collect in future years. The City does not believe, however, that the Nebraska Legislature, subject to any constitutional restrictions, would leave the City without adequate taxing resources to pay for its programs and meet its financial obligations, including the repayment of its bonds, lease-purchase obligations and other obligations. The opinion of Bond Counsel will be rendered based on the law existing as of the date of issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds and in reliance upon general legal presumptions in favor of the constitutionality of statutes and upon the holdings of existing case law. Prospective Financial Commitments by the City The City anticipates that it will issue during 2001 approximately $[28.5] million of its redevelopment bonds and approximately $[21] million of various purpose (general obligation) refunding bonds. Capital Expenditures—Downtown In addition to its substantial annual citywide capital expenditures to reconstruct, rehabilitate and expand the City's infrastructure and physical assets, the City has recently undertaken many redevelopment projects in the 33-block downtown area in partnership with the private sector and providing for$1 billion in new construction. Of the many ongoing redevelopment projects involving major employers in downtown Omaha and the City, two major projects deserve attention: the First National Bank of Omaha and the Omaha World-Herald are engaged in separate but coordinated projects. To date, the City has approved a redevelopment agreement pursuant to which it has agreed to use lease-purchase and other available sources of financing to build two new parking garages serving the First National Bank's existing and new facilities and to provide related street and sewer improvements. Pursuant to the redevelopment agreement, the First National Bank has entered into a long-term lease of a substantial portion of the parking stalls. The bank is completing construction of its 40-story office tower and separate data center representing at least $265 million in private construction. The City has issued approximately $18,200,000 of special tax and lease-purchase bonds with respect to such parking facilities. The World-Herald's $135 million dollar facility is also under construction. The City is also committed to redeveloping its riverfront directly east of the Convention Center/Arena redevelopment. The City is, pursuant to a redevelopment plan approved by the City Council, developing into a public recreational space and restaurant development the remediated site of the former metals refining property [owned] by Asarco located on the west bank of the Missouri River 01-361723.01 5 immediately north of the downtown Heartland of America Park. Asarco has remediated the site pursuant to an agreement with the State of Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and the redevelopment agreement between the.City and Asarco. In addition, the City's agreement with Asarco includes a reconveyance provision and provides for the indemnification by Asarco of the City for environmental claims arising from the Asarco property, for a $1.5 million payment by Asarco to the City and for the acquisition by Asarco on behalf of the City of a $10 million insurance policy against future environmental claims. The City plans to take title and complete the redevelopment for an expected opening in 2002. The City administration and the Gallup Corporation ("Gallup") are proposing a 140 million dollar joint redevelopment plan. The Gallup University Riverfront Redevelopment Plan was submitted to the City Planning Board for its recommendation on December 6, 2000. The plan envisions the acquisition, clearance, environmental remediation, site preparation and complete redevelopment of an approximately 104-acre area located along the Missouri River immediately north of downtown Omaha, adjacent to Asarco park development and the City's new Convention Center/Arena redevelopment. The overall Redevelopment Plan consists of three (3) distinct elements: the Corporate Campus and its expansion area, the Miller Landing Park, and the Future Redevelopment Site. [To Be Updated] The keystone of this entire redevelopment effort is the commitment of Gallup to relocate and expand its corporate headquarters and management education facilities to this Omaha riverfront site located at the eastern gateway to the State of Nebraska. Over time, in a Series of phases, Gallup plans to develop a world class corporate campus on approximately 56 acres in the central portion of the plan area. The campus will consist of a Series of interconnected buildings including Gallup's corporate offices, Gallup University (The Management Education Complex), an extended stay lodging facility, a printing and mailing facility, and a child development center. Gallup anticipates that its total investment in the new campus facilities will exceed $80 million. In addition to creating an open, well-landscaped campus environment along the riverfront, the Gallup campus will also incorporate a portion of the Missouri Riverfront Trails System, providing a critical link between Asarco park development on the south through the Campus to the Miller Landing Park on the north. The Miller Landing Park consists of approximately 40 acres, most of which currently is owned by Douglas County. It is located immediately north of the proposed Gallup Campus and will be developed as a public recreation and open space and a headquarters building for the National Park Service in concert with the campus. The park will provide access to the river and incorporate a number of passive recreation facilities including an extensive trail system and river overlooks. The Future Redevelopment Site, consisting of approximately 13.5 acres, located south of the Gallup Campus presents another riverfront development opportunity. This site could be an ideal location for commercial and mid- to high-rise residential development. It will also be near the terminus of a proposed $17 million pedestrian bridge across the Missouri River. The City is also in negotiation with respect to the construction of an approximate 450-room convention headquarters hotel immediately adjacent to and connected to the Convention Center/Arena in support of the operation of that project. 01-361723.01 6 [ADDRESS EFFECTS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 EVENTS AND RELATED MILITARY ACTION] THE SERIES 2001 BONDS Description of the Series 2001 Bonds The Series 2001 Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of$[7,600,000], will be dated November 1, 2001, will be issued in fully registered form and will mature as set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement. Interest is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each year commencing May 1, 2002. Place of Payment The principal of the Series 2001 Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the principal corporate trust office of First National Bank of Omaha, as trustee and paying agent (the "Trustee"), in Omaha, Nebraska. Interest on the Series 2001 Bonds will be paid by wire transfer of the Trustee to the registered owner of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Series 2001 Bonds upon written notice by the registered owner given to the Trustee not later than the close of business on April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, or by check or draft mailed to the person in whose name a Series 2001 Bond is registered as of the April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, next preceding each interest payment date. Book-Entry Only System The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, will act as securities depository for the Series 2001 Bonds. The Series 2001 Bonds will be initially issued as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee). One fully registered Series 2001 Bond certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2001 Bonds and will be deposited with DTC. DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitiates the settlement among Participants (as defined hereinafter) of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants"). (Direct Participants and Indirect Participants are referred to herein collectively as the "Participants.") The Rules 01-361723.01 7 applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commmission. Purchases of the Series 2001 Bonds under the DTC system must be made in authorized denominations by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2001 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2001 Bond (a `Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct Participants' and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2001 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. For every transfer and exchange of beneficial ownership interests in the Series 2001 Bonds, DTC and the Participants may charge the Beneficial Owner a sum sufficient to pay any tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representating their ownershp interests in the Series 2001 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book entry for the Series 2001 Bonds is discontinued. SO LONG AS CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE FOR DTC, IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE SERIES 2001 BONDS, THE CITY AND THE PAYING AGENT WILL TREAT CEDE & CO. AS THE ONLY OWNER OF THE SERIES 2001 BONDS FOR ALL PURPOSES UNDER THE ORDINANCE (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED), INCLUDING RECEIPT OF ALL PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF, PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE SERIES 2001 BONDS, RECEIPT OF NOTICES AND VOTING. To facilitate subsequent transfers, the Series 2001 Bonds deposited by Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of the Series 2001 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC will have no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2001 Bonds. DTC's records will reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2001 Bonds are credited, which may or_may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time.to time. Redemption notices will be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Series 2001 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the Series 2001 Bonds. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the City, as issuer of the Series 2001 Bonds, as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns 01-361723.01 8 Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Series 2001 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on the Series 2001 Bonds will be made by the Paying Agent to 'DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on payment dates in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on a payment date. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in"street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee, the Corporation or any other party under the Indenture, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

UNDERWRITING Under a Bond Purchase Agreement (the "Bond Purchase Agreement") entered into by the Corporation and Kirkpatrick Pettis, as Underwriter (the "Underwriter"), the Series 2001 Bonds are being purchased at a price of % with respect to principal, plus accrued interest from November 1, 2001. The Bond Purchase Agreement provides that the Underwriter will purchase all of the Series 2001 Bonds if any are purchased. The obligation of the Underwriter to accept delivery of the Series 2001 Bonds is subject to various conditions contained in the Bond Purchase Agreement, including the absence of pending or threatened litigation questioning the validity of the Series 2001 Bonds or any proceedings in connection with the issuance thereof and • 01-361723.01 16 1 the absence of material adverse changes in the financial or business condition of the Corporation or the City. The Underwriter intends to offer the Series 2001 Bonds to the public initially at the offering prices set forth on the cover page of this Official Statement, which prices may subsequently change without any requirement of prior notice. The Underwriter reserves the right to join with dealers and other underwriters in offering the Series 2001 Bonds to the public. The Underwriter may offer and sell Series 2001 Bonds to certain dealers (including dealers depositing Series 2001 Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than the public offering price. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE The City has entered into an undertaking (the "Undertaking") for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the Series 2001 Bonds to send certain financial information and operating data to certain information repositories annually and to provide notice to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board or certain other repositories of certain events, pursuant to the requirements of Section (b)(5)(i) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) (the "Rule"). See "APPENDIX C—FORM OF LETTER AGREEMENT." The City inadvertently did not timely file a portion of its annual financial information and operating data for its fiscal year ended December 31, 1996 and, in accordance with its related undertakings and the Rule, filed with the information repositories a material event notice to such effect, together with the complete fiscal year 1996 financial information and operating data. The City now is in compliance with each of its undertakings under the Rule. A failure by the City to comply with the Undertaking will not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Agreement, although any bondholder will have any available remedy at law or in equity, including seeking specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under the Undertaking. Any such failure must be reported in accordance with the Rule and must be considered by any broker, dealer or municipal securities dealer before recommending the purchase or sale of the Bonds in the secondary market. Consequently, such a failure may adversely affect the transferability and liquidity of the Bonds and their market price. LITIGATION No litigation is pending or, to the knowledge of the Corporation, threatened in any court to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of any of the Series 2001 Bonds or in any way contesting or affecting the validity of the Series 2001 Bonds, the related resolution of the Corporation, the Agreement, the Indenture or the City's related ordinance, or contesting the powers or authority of the Corporation to issue the Series 2001 Bonds or to adopt the related resolution or of the City to execute and deliver the Agreement or pass its related ordinance. 01-361723.01 17 LEGAL MATTERS Tax Exemption In the opinion of Kutak Rock LLP, Bond Counsel, to be delivered at the time of original issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds, under existing laws, 'regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Series 2001 Bonds is (a) excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and (b) is not a specific item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Interest on the Series 2001 Bonds, however, will be included in the "adjusted current earnings" (i.e., alternative minimum taxable income as adjusted for certain items, including those items that would be included in the calculation of a corporation's earnings and profits under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")) of certain corporations, and such corporations are required to include in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income 75% of the excess of each such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses). The opinions set forth above are subject to continuing compliance by the City and the Corporation with their respective covenants regarding federal tax laws in the Ordinance and the Indenture. Failure to comply with such covenants could cause interest on the Series 2001 Bonds to be included in gross income retroactive to the date of issue of the Series 2001 Bonds. The accrual or receipt of interest on the Series 2001 Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax liability of certain recipients, such as banks, thrift institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, corporations (including S corporations and foreign corporations operating branches in the United States), Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefit recipients, or individuals who itemize deductions, among others. The nature and extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the recipients' particular tax status or other items of income or deduction. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any such consequences, and investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of purchasing or holding the Series 2001 Bonds. In Bond Counsel's further opinion, under the existing laws of the State of Nebraska, the interest on the Series 2001 Bonds is exempt from Nebraska state income taxation so long as it is exempt for purposes of the federal income tax. From time to time, there are legislative proposals in Congress that, if enacted, could alter or amend the federal tax matters referred to above or adversely affect the market value of the Series 2001 Bonds. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any such proposal might be enacted or whether if enacted, it would apply to bonds issued prior to enactment. Each purchaser of the Series 2001 Bonds should consult his or her own tax advisor regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding any pending or proposed federal tax legislation. 01-361723.01 18 Legal Opinions • Legal matters incident to the authorization and issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds are subject to the unqualified approving opinion of Kutak Rock LLP, Bond Counsel, a copy of whose approving opinion will be delivered with the Series 2001 Bonds. See "APPENDIX D— FORM OF OPINION OF BOND COUNSEL." Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by its counsel, Kutak Rock LLP. RATINGS Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("S&P"), have assigned the Series 2001 Bonds the ratings of " " and " ," respectively. Such credit ratings of the Series 2001 Bonds by Moody's and S&P reflect only the views of such credit rating agencies. An explanation of the significance of such credit ratings may be obtained from Moody's or S&P, as the case may be. There is no assurance that such credit ratings will continue for any given period of time or that they will not be reviewed or withdrawn entirely by such credit rating agencies, if in their judgment circumstances so warrant. Neither the City nor the Underwriter has undertaken any responsibility either to bring to the attention of the owners of the Series 2001 Bonds any proposed change in or withdrawal of such credit ratings or to oppose any such proposed revision. Any such downward change in or withdrawal of such credit ratings may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2001 Bonds.

Omaha is the hub of a vast transportation network leading to all parts of the nation and thus offers significant advantages to business and industry competing in regional and national markets. This fact is substantiated by the growth of population, employment and income during recent years. Area and Population The population of the five-county Omaha Metropolitan Statistical Area ("MSA"), comprising four Nebraska counties and one Iowa county,numbered 716,998 as of April 1,2000. As of April 1,2000,the population of the City of Omaha was 390,007.

In 2000, 3,814,440 passengers used Eppley Airfield, located less than 15 minutes driving time from downtown Omaha. Omaha is general headquarters for the Union Pacific Railroad. Five other mainline railroads and a terminal railway combine to make Omaha an important rail center. Two interstate highways (Interstate 80 and Interstate 29), five federal highways and seven state highways provide fast all-weather routes within Nebraska and to and from the rest of the nation. In addition, Interstate 480 (downtown spur)and Interstate 680(circumferential route)provide quick access to all parts of the metropolitan area. More than 85 motor common carriers haul freight to and from Omaha and all parts of the nation, making Omaha a major midwestern trucking center.

Several smaller bus lines operate between Omaha and points in Iowa and Nebraska. • 01-361723.01 Utility Services Residential, commercial and industrial electric service rates in Omaha historically have been below the national averages, according to reports of the Edison Electric Institute in its Statistical Yearbook of the Electrical Utility Industry. In addition to low rates,the Omaha Public Power District, a Nebraska political subdivision, assures its customers ample power with a net generating capability of 1,926,000 kW. The Metropolitan Utilities District ("MUD"), a Nebraska political subdivision, distributes natural gas and water in the Omaha area. Rates compare favorably with those prevailing in other metropolitan areas in the nation. Omaha has a plentiful water supply (Missouri River and Platte River wells) and a water system designed to the standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriter, with a current capacity of 218 million gallons a day. MUD's supply of natural gas is purchased wholesale from Northern Natural Gas Company. This supply is supplemented with peak-shaving storage facilities which can provide up to approximately 30% of peak demand. There have been no interruptions of natural gas service to firm commercial and residential customers and no interruptions are expected in the foreseeable future. MUD continues to add new natural gas customers. Education Omaha is an important educational center and is the location of Creighton University, the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. These institutions, together with three additional colleges located in Omaha, offer educational programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels, in law, and in the health professions:medicine,dentistry,nursing and pharmacy.

The current annexation policy is designed to create annual,balanced annexation packages and establish consistency from year to year. Such annexation packages combine areas with relatively high outstanding indebtedness in relation to assessed valuation with other areas that have a more positive financial picture. These balanced packages can then be added to the City without tax increase to cover retirement of the additional debt assumed by the City. Under this approach, Omaha has grown by approximately 53,000 people and 22 square miles as a result of annexations since 1980. 01-361723.01 B-3 OVERLAPPING DEBT Listed below are the political subdivisions which have the power to levy taxes and the amount of net bonded indebtedness of each,as of[September 1, 1999],applicable to the taxable property within the City of Omaha: %Applicable to $Amount Bonds Outstanding City of Omaha Applicable Douglas County' $19,590,000 81.11 $15,889,449 Omaha-Douglas Public Building Commission2 6,475,000 81.11 5,251,875 School District of Omaha' 52,145,000 90.31 47,092,149 School District of Ralston' 10,430,000 73.91 7,708,813 School District of Millard' 132,145,000 74.47 98,408,381 School District of Elkhorn' 24,250,000 .04 97,000 School District No.66 of Douglas County'Net Overlapping Bonded Debt 27,330,000 100.00 27,330,000 $202,650,667 'Douglas County,under various lease purchase agreements,is obligated to provide for annual rental payments.

The 1984 amendment to the City Charter authorized the appropriation at the close of any fiscal year for credit to the Cash Reserve Fund of any amount, or portion thereof, held as General Fund surplus. Income earned on amounts credited to the Cash Reserve Fund is retained in the fund. The maximum size of the Cash Reserve Fund was established at an amount equal to 4%of General Fund appropriations.

The 1998 year end transfer ordinance credited $250,000 to the Cash Reserve Fund,plus interest earnings of$208,994 increasing the balance as of December 31, 1998 to$3,656,394. • • 0 1-3 6 1 723.01 B-9 EXHIBIT E APPENDIX C FORM OF LETTER AGREEMENT • November , 2001 First National Bank of Omaha, as Trustee 16th and Dodge Streets Omaha,NE 68102 $[7,600,000] City of Omaha Stadium Facilities Corporation Lease Revenue Bonds (Rosenblatt Stadium Project) Series 2001 Ladies and Gentlemen: (a) This Letter Agreement is executed and delivered by the City of Omaha, Nebraska (the "City") and First National Bank of Omaha, as Trustee (the "Trustee") under that certain Indenture of Trust dated as of November 1, 1998, as amended and supplemented by that certain First Supplemental Indenture of Trust dated as of November 1, 2001 (collectively, the "Indenture"), for the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners of the $[7,600,000] City of Omaha Stadium Facilities Corporation Lease Revenue Bonds (Rosenblatt Stadium Project), Series 2001 (the "Series 2001 Bonds") and to facilitate compliance with Section(b)(5)(i) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) (the "Rule").

The Series 2001 Bonds have been issued under and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Nebraska and in accordance with (i) the provisions of a resolution (the "Resolution") adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation that authorized the issuance of the Bonds and the execution and delivery of the First Amendment to Lease-Purchase Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001, amending that certain Lease-Purchase Agreement dated as of November 1, 1998 (as amended, the "Agreement"), each by and between the Corporation and the City, the First Supplemental Indenture of Trust dated as of November 1, 2001, amending and supplementing the Indenture of Trust dated as of November 1, 1998 (as supplemented, the "Indenture"), each by and between the Corporation and First National Bank of Omaha, as trustee (the "Trustee"), the Amended and Restated Site Lease Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001 (the "Lease") between the Corporation and the City and the Bond Purchase Agreement dated November_, 2001 between the Corporation and Kirkpatrick Pettis (the "Underwriter"); and (ii) the provisions of Ordinance No. (the "Ordinance")passed by the City Council of the City on October [30], 2001, which Ordinance authorized the execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Lease and the Letter Agreement dated November 1, 2001 between the City and the Trustee and approved the Indenture and the terms of and the issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds. The Series 2001 Bonds have been issued to provide the funds for all or a portion of the cost of acquiring, constructing, improving and equipping improvements to Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska (the "Project"), including reimbursing the City for certain prior expenditures for the Project. The Project site is leased by the City to the Corporation pursuant to the Lease. Under the Agreement, the City will be granted possession of the Project and the right to acquire all of the Corporation's interest in and to the Project. The Corporation has covenanted in the Indenture to comply with all necessary restrictions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations thereunder (the "Code") to preserve the exclusion of interest on the 2001 Bonds from gross income for the purposes of federal income taxation. Noncompliance by the Corporation with such restrictions may cause the interest on the 2001 Bonds to be subject to federal income taxation retroactive to their date of issue. In connection with the issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds, we have examined the following: (a) the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Corporation; (b) the Resolution; (c) the Ordinance; (d) executed counterparts of the Agreement; (e) executed counterparts of the Indenture; (f) executed counterparts of the Lease; 0 1-3 61 723.01 D-2 executed counterparts of the Letter Agreement; (g) IP (h) the form of Bond No. R-1; and (i) such other proceedings, opinions, records, documents, Code provisions and statutes as we deemed necessary and appropriate in rendering this opinion. In connection with the issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds,we are of the opinion that: (1) The Corporation is a nonprofit corporation validly created and existing in the State of Nebraska. (2) The Corporation has the power to issue the Series 2001 Bonds for the purpose and in the manner and to apply the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2001 Bonds as set forth in the Indenture. (3) Each of the Agreement and the First Amendment to Lease-Purchase Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Corporation and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the City, represent valid and binding agreements of the Corporation and the City, enforceable in accordance with their terms. (4) Each of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture of Trust have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Corporation and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Trustee, represent valid and binding agreements of the Corporation and the Trustee, enforceable in accordance with their terms. (5) The Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Corporation and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the City, represents the valid and binding agreement of the Corporation and the City, enforceable in accordance with its terms. (6) The Series 2001 Bonds are in proper. form and have been executed by proper officers of the Corporation. The Series 2001 Bonds constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation payable, as to principal and interest, solely and only from the Rental Payments (as that term is defined in the Agreement) from the City's use of the Project. (7) The Rental Payments payable by the City under the terms of the Agreement are general obligations of the City and are payable from the City's General Fund each year of the term of the Agreement on the same basis as operating expenses and other contractual obligations of the City. Rental Payments are payable out of the funds of the City which may be raised, among other sources, by taxes levied by valuation on all the taxable property within the boundaries of the City and by sales taxes, subject to applicable taxing limitations. 01-361723.01 D-3 • • (8) The Agreement represents unconditional obligations of the City and is not subject to annual renewal. (9) The obligations of the parties and the enforceability of the provisions contained in the Agreement, the Indenture and the Lease relating to the parties may be subject to general principles of equity which permit the exercise of judicial discretion and are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally. (10) Assuming compliance by the Corporation with the covenant referred to in the fourth paragraph of this letter, interest on the 2001 Bonds is excluded from gross income for the purposes of federal income taxation and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. However, for certain corporations, interest on the 2001 Bonds is included in the "adjusted current earnings" (i.e., alternative minimum taxable income as adjusted for certain items, including those items that would be included in the calculation of a corporation's earnings and profits under Subchapter C of the Code), and such corporations are required to include in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income 75% of the excess of each such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses). Although the interest on the 2001 Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, the accrual or receipt of interest on the 2001 Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax liability of the recipient. The extent of these other 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 consequences. Purchasers of the 2001 Bonds, particularly purchasers that are corporations (including S corporations and foreign corporations operating branches in the United States), property or casualty insurance companies, banks, thrifts or other financial institutions, certain recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits or individuals who itemize deductions are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of purchasing or holding the 2001 Bonds. Interest on the 2001 Bonds is exempt from Nebraska state income taxation so long as it is exempt for purposes of the federal income tax. We express no opinion as to the title to, or the sufficiency in, the Agreement, the Indenture or the Lease or otherwise of the description of the Project or the priority of any liens, charges or encumbrances of the Project.
