This certificate is being provided to the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") in connection with an application (the "Application") by \[*Name
of Applicant Issuer: *
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\] (the "Issuer")
to the IRS requesting an allocation of volume cap authority to issue
clean renewable energy bonds ("CREBs") under section 54 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). The CREBs are being issued to
make a loan to \[*Name of qualified borrower:
*\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ (the "Borrower"), to finance the costs
of certain clean renewable energy facilities described more particularly
in the Application (the "Project"). The undersigned hereby certifies as
follows:

1\. I am an independent, licensed engineer, duly qualified to practice
the profession of engineering under the laws of the State of
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, and I am not an officer or employee of the
Issuer or the Borrower.

2\. I have reviewed the Application for a CREBs volume cap allocation
(including the exhibits thereto) of the Issuer of even date herewith
describing the Project. To the best of my knowledge, information, and
belief, the Project will meet the requirements to be a "qualified
project" under section 54(d)(2)(A) of the Code and correspondingly a
"qualified facility" under section 45(d) of the Code, determined without
regard to section 45(d)(10) of the Code and without regard to any placed
in service date).

\[*(Include as appropriate)* To the best of my knowledge, information,
and belief, the Project is a qualified hydropower facility under section
45(d)(9)**\--**

a.  producing incremental hydropower production consisting only of
    efficiency improvements or additions to capacity that produce
    additional production as described in section 45(c)(8)(B) based on a
    methodology that would meet Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
    (FERC) standards. *or*

b.  that is a nonhydroelectric dam under section 45(c)(8)(C) and the
    facility, when constructed, will meet FERC licensing requirements
    and other applicable environmental, licensing and regulatory
    requirements.\]

3\. To the best of my knowledge, information and belief, the Project is
technically viable and when constructed will produce electricity.
