Section 2. Registration and Payment.

2.02. Dates l Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last
interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the
Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of
authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made
available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of
authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest
payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue.
The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year,
commencing August 1, 1997, to the registered owners of record thereof as of the
close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether
or not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent,
authenticating agent and paying agent (Registrar). The effect of registration and
the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as
follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate
trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the
registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly
endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed
by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the
DJK106782
CH135-34
registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds
of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the
transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of
any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest
payment date and until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the
registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one
or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as
requested by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will
be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed
by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented
to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond
until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate
instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer
is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in
good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or
unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat
the person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the
absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and
interest on the Bond and for all other purposes and payments so made to
registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or
sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge
upon the owner thereef for a transfer or exchange of Bonds, sufficient to
reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes
mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond
of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution
for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in
substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the
reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith;
and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the
Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen
or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar
of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount
satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the
Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar
will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be
given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has
already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it
is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for
redemption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given
by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail
(postage prepaid) not more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at
the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by
publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication
or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for
redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date,
provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of
payment at that time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints
American Bank National Association , St. Paul , Minnesota, as the init~a!
Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation
of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or
trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation
is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable
and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City
reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days' notice and upon the
appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must
deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must
deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal
or interest due date, without further order of this Council, the Finance Director
must transmit to the Registrar monies sufficient for the payment of all principal and
interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared
under the direction of the City Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the
signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that all signatures may be
printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose
signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such
officer before the delivery of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless
be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in
office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this
Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly
executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar.
Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same
representative. The executed certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive
evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When
the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager will
deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance
with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not
obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed
definitive Bonds one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form
set forth in Section 3 with such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one
maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon the execution and delivery of definitive
Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and cancelled.

DTC holds Bonds as securities depository (Participants) or to any other person on
behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, including but not
limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the
records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership
interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other

redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any other person, other than
a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Bond Registrar and the Paying

respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such
Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all principal of,
premiUm, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective
registered owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar,

interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other
than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the
Bond Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this
resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the City Manager of a written notice to the
effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co.,
the words **Cede & Co. ," will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt

Bond Registrar and Paying Agent.
7.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered
to DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (Representation Letter) which
shall govern payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and
notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or Bond Registrar
subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all
action necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation letter with
respect to the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with
at all times.
7.04. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event the City, by
resolution of the City Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the
persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond
certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants,
of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City will
issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other
registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. DTC may
determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time
by giving notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto
under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is
appointed, the City will issue and the Bond Registrar will authenticate Bond
certificates in accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof will apply
to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.
7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Resolution to the contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede &
Co., as nominee of DTC, payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bond and notices with respect to the Bond will be made and given,
respectively in the manner provided in DTC's Operational Arrangements, as set
forth in the Representation Letter.

out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the City to comply with the
Continuing Deisclosure Certificate is not to be considered an event of default with

necessary and_ appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by
court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this Section.
