All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this resolution shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City. 1103602.1 12 All Bonds delivered in exchange for or upon transfer of Bonds shall be valid general obligations of the City evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this resolution, as the Bonds surrendered for such exchange or transfer. Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange of any Bond and any legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds. Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable regulations of the City contained in any agreement with the Bond Registrar, including regulations which permit the Bond Registrar to close its transfer books between record dates and payment dates. The Manager is hereby authorized to negotiate and execute the terms of said agreement. 11. Rights Upon Transfer or Exchange.

Any such interest not so timely paid shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof as of the Regular Record Date, and shall be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof at the close of business on a date (the "Special Record Date") fixed by the Bond Registrar whenever money becomes available for payment of the defaulted interest.

There is hereby established a special fund to be designated "General Obligation Bonds, Series 1999A Fund" (the "Fund") to be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid. The City's Sewer and Water Utility Fund and Sewer and Water Expansion Fund (collectively, the "Operation and Maintenance Account") heretofore established by the City shall continue to be maintained in the manner heretofore provided by the City. All moneys remaining after paying or providing for the items set forth in the resolution establishing the Operation and Maintenance Account shall constitute or are referred to as "net revenues" until the Water Improvement Portion of the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds have been paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts to which shall be credited and debited all income and disbursements of the System as hereinafter set forth. The Finance Director of the City and all officials and employees concerned therewith shall establish and maintain financial records of the receipts and disbursements of the System in accordance with this resolution.

(b) Debt Service Account. There shall be maintained two (2) separate subaccounts in the Debt Service Account to be designated the "Street Improvement Project Debt Service Subaccount" and the "Water Improvement Project Debt Service Subaccount".

(ii) Water Improvement Proiect Debt Service Subaccount. To the Water Improvement Project Debt Service Subaccount there shall be credited: (A) the net revenues of the System not otherwise pledged and applied to the payment of other obligations of the City, in an amount, together with other funds which may herein or hereafter from time to time be irrevocably appropriated to the account, sufficient to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61 for the payment of the principal and interest of the Water Improvement Portion of the Bonds of this issue; (B) a pro rata share of all accrued interest received upon delivery of the Bonds; (C) a pro rata share of any amount paid for the Bonds in excess of $4,212,450; (D) any collections of all taxes which may hereafter be levied in the event that the net revenues of the System and other funds herein pledged to the payment of the principal and interest on the Water Improvement Portion of the Bonds of this issue are insufficient therefore; (E) a pro rata share of all funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the Project and payment of the costs thereof; (F) all investment earnings on funds held in the Water Improvement Project Debt Service Subaccount; and (G) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Water Improvement Project Debt Service Subaccount.

To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction Account, Operation and Maintenance Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then-applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 16 Covenants Relatinq to the Street Improvement Portion of the Bonds. (a) Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost to the City of each Street Improvement financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by any of the Street Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let within one (1) year after ordering each Street Improvement financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering the Street Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts. The City hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform as soon as they may be done all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the City Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and the City Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. It is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with interest on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum not greater than the maximum permitted by law and not less than the rates per annum shown opposite their collection years specified below: 1103602.1 16 Improvement Collection Designation Amount Levy Years Years Rate (i) Project 97-1 $ 716,881 1998-2005 1999-2006 7.50% (97-1 a,97-1 b-2, 97-1 D) Gateway West (Phase I) (ii) Project 98-1 46,766 1998-2005 1999-2006 7.50 (Lake Lucy Road) (iii) Project 98-16 975,063 1999-2006 2000-2007 8.00 (Lake Drive West) (iv) Project 98-15 321,965 1999-2006 2000-2007 8.00 (Stone Creek Drive) TOTAL: $2,060,675 At the time the assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. (b) Tax Levy; Coverage Test. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Street Improvement Portion of the Bonds there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as follows: Year of Tax Year of Tax Levy Collection Amount 2000 2001 $59,938.29 2001 2002 56,462.03 2002 2003 56,615.22 2003 2004 56,479.73 2004 2005 56,239.19 2005 2006 55,904.19 2006 2007 55,485.13 2007 2008 50,698.50 The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of special assessments and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Street Improvement Portion of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (5%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Street Improvement Portion of the Bonds. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Street Improvement Portion of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 17 Covenants Relatinq to the Water Improvement Portion of the Bonds. (a) Excess Net Revenues. Net revenues in excess of those required for the foregoing may be used for any proper purpose. 1103602.1 17 (b) Sufficiency of Net Revenues.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the City from making further pledges and appropriations of the net revenues of the System for the payment of other or additional obligations of the City, provided that it has first been determined by the City Council that the estimated net revenues of the System will be sufficient in addition to all other sources, for the payment of the Water Improvement Portion of the Bonds herein authorized and such additional obligations and any such pledge and appropriation of the net revenues may be made superior or subordinate to, or on a parity with the pledge and appropriation herein. (c) Covenant to Maintain Rates and Charges. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, the City hereby covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds that it will impose and collect charges for the service, use, avail-ability and connection to the System at the times and in the amounts required to produce net revenues adequate to pay all principal and interest when due on the Water Improvement Portion of the Bonds and the Outstanding Bonds. Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, Subdivision 2, provides as follows: "Real estate tax revenues should be used only, and then on a temporary basis, to pay general or special obligations when the other revenues are insufficient to meet the obligations". 18 Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holders of the Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Bond Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full, provided that notice of redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable banking institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, without regard to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date. 19 Compliance With Reimbursement Bond Re.qulations. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the "reimbursement proceeds" of the Bonds, being those portions thereof which will be used by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the Closing Date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure"). 1103602.1 18 The City hereby certifies and/or covenants as follows: (a) Not later than 60 days after the date of payment of a Reimbursement Expenditure, the City (or person designated to do so on behalf of the City) has made or will have made a written declaration of the City's official intent (a "Declaration") which effectively (i) states the City's reasonable expectation to reimburse itself for the payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure out of the proceeds of a subsequent borrowing; (ii) gives a general and functional description of the property, project or program to which the Declaration relates and for which the Reimbursement Expenditure is paid, or identifies a specific fund or account of the City and the general functional purpose thereof from which the Reimbursement Expenditure was to be paid (collectively the "Project"); and (iii) states the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be issued by the City for the purpose of financing the Project; provided, however, that no such Declaration shall necessarily have been made with respect to: (i) "preliminary expenditures" for the Project, defined in the Reimbursement Regulations to include engineering or architectural, surveying and soil testing expenses and similar prefatory costs, which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% of the "issue price" of the Bonds, and (ii) a de minimis amount of Reimbursement Expenditures not in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of the Bonds. (b) Each Reimbursement Expenditure is a capital expenditure or a cost of issuance of the Bonds or any of the other types of expenditures described in Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the Reimbursement Regulations. (c) The "reimbursement allocation" described in the Reimbursement Regulations for each Reimbursement Expenditure shall and will 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 the later of three years after payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure or one year after the date on which the Project to which the Reimbursement Expenditure relates is first placed in service. (d) Each such reimbursement allocation will be made in a writing that evidences the City's use of Bond proceeds to reimburse the Reimbursement Expenditure and, if made within 30 days after the Bonds are issued, shall be treated as made on the day the Bonds are issued. Provided, however, that the City may take action contrary to any of the foregoing covenants in this paragraph 19 upon receipt of an opinion of its Bond Counsel for the Bonds stating in effect that such action will not impair the tax-exempt status of the Bonds. 20 Continuinq Disclosure.

The Mayor and Manager of the City, or any other officer of the City authorized to act in their place with "Officers" are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City the Undertaking in substantially the form presented to the City Council subject to such modifications thereof or additions thereto as are (i) consistent with the requirements under the Rule, (ii) required by the Purchaser of the Bonds, and (iii) acceptable to the Officers. 21 General Obligation Pledge.
