         representations and warranties contained in the Letter of Transmittal
         that are to be made with respect to the undersigned as a beneficial

         Exchange Notes due 2009 and the 6.927% Senior Secured Exchange

         undersigned in the ordinary course of business of the undersigned, (ii)
         the undersigned is not participating, does not intend to participate,
         and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate,
         in the distribution of the Exchange Securities, (iii) if the
         undersigned is a resident of the State of California, it falls under
         the self-executing institutional investor exemption set forth under
         Section 25102(i) of the Corporate Securities Law of 1968 and Rules
         260.102.10 and 260.105.14 of the California Blue Sky Regulations, (iv)
         if the undersigned is a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,

         Securities Act of 1972, Section 102.111 of the Pennsylvania Blue Sky
         Regulations and an interpretive opinion dated November 16, 1985, (v)
         the undersigned acknowledges and agrees that any person who is a
         broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
         amended (the "Exchange Act"), or is participating in the Exchange Offer
         for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Securities must comply
         with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
         Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with a secondary
         resale transaction of the Exchange Securities or interests therein
         acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of
         the Commission set forth in certain no-action letters, (vi) the
         undersigned understands that a secondary resale transaction described
         in clause (v) above and any resales of Exchange Securities or interests
         therein obtained by such holder in exchange for Initial Securities or
         interests therein originally acquired by such holder directly from
         MidAmerican Funding should be covered by an effective registration
         statement containing the selling security holder information required
         by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the
         Commission and (vii) the undersigned is not an "affiliate," as defined

         request by MidAmerican Funding, the undersigned will deliver to
         MidAmerican Funding a legal opinion confirming its representation made
         in clause (vii) above. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer (whether
         or not it is also an "affiliate") that will receive Exchange Securities
         for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the undersigned
         represents that the Initial Securities to be exchanged for the Exchange
         Securities were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities
         or other trading activities, and acknowledges that it will deliver a
         prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection
         with any resale of such Exchange Securities; however, by so
         acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, the undersigned does not
         and will not be deemed to admit that is an "underwriter" within the
         meaning of the Securities Act;

                  (b) to agree, on behalf of the undersigned, as set forth in
         the Letter of Transmittal; and

                  (c) to take such other action as necessary under the
         Prospectus or the Letter of Transmittal to effect the valid tender of
         such Initial Securities.
