For purposes of securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however, rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. (iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to be the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds, as shown on the Bond Registrar's bond register, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in book-entry form shall be limited in principal amount to authorized denominations and shall be effected by the Depository with the Participants for recording and transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds. (viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to the Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or the Bond Registrar with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such consent or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond Registrar may establish a special record date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond Registrar shall, to the extent possible, give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance thereof to the extent possible. (ix) Any successor Bond Registrar, in its written acceptance of its duties under this Resolution and any paying agency registrar agreement, shall agree to take any actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Blanket Letter of Representations. (c) Termination ofBook-Ent _ry Only System. Discontinuance of a particular Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows: (i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the services of the Depository with respect to the Bonds if the City determines that the Depository is no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the City. (ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the functions of the Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the City determines that it is in the best interests of the City that the Beneficial Owners be issued certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be registered in the name of the Nominee, but may be registered in 1581385vl 4 whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof. To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.

From the Capital Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of making the Improvements, including the cost of any construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65; and the moneys in said account shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the collection of taxes or special assessments levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the Improvements there shall remain any unexpended balance in the Capital Account, the balance (other than any special assessments) may be transferred by the Council to the fund of any other improvement instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429; and provided further that any special assessments credited to the Capital Account shall only be applied towards payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption of a resolution by the City Council determining that the application of the special assessments for such purpose will not cause the City to no longer be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. (ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (a) all collections of special assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially credited to the Capital Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or collected subsequent to the completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (b) $9,494.49 of the proceeds of the Bonds, to be used to pay the interest first coming due thereon; (c) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon; (d) all funds remaining in the Capital Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof, not so transferred to the account of another improvement; (e) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (f) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the Council to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Accbunt shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any ~ss~38Sv~ 17 premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as provided by law. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5%) of the "Sale Proceeds" of the Bonds (being the "issue price" of the Bonds less accrued interest). To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Capital Account or Debt Service Account 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 federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 17. Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost to the City of the Improvements financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1 (3), shall be paid by special assessments heretofore levied or to be levied hereafter against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by any of the Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let within one (1) year after ordering each Improvements financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering said 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 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 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. At the time all of the assessments are in fact levied the 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. · 18. Tax Levies. To provide moneys for payment of the principal of and interest on 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 tl~e amounts as follows: 1581385vl 18 Year of Tax Year of Tax Levy Collection Amount See Attached Levy The foregoing respective tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any 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. 19. 105% Debt Service Coverage. It is hereby determined and reasonably anticipated that the estimated collections of special assessments relating to the Improvements and the other revenues available to the Debt Service Account will produce at least 5% in excess of the amount needed to meet, when due, the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The City shall cause to be filed a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Auditor of Sherbume County and to obtain the certificate of said official required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63. 20. General Obligation Pledge. The full faith and credit and taxing powers of the City are hereby pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, and in the event of any current or anticipated deficiency of funds in the Debt Service Account of amounts needed to make any such payment, when due, the Council shall levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the City in the amount of such deficiency. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein. 21. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of the issuance of the Bonds, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the Bonds and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein. 22. Negative Covenant as to Use of Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the Improvements or to cause or permit the Improvements to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Improvements, in such a manner as (or to take any action or permit any other circumstance to exist or any action to be taken, the effect to which would be) to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. In particular, but without limitation, the City covenants to forebear the implementation, effectuation or enforcement of any and all contracts or other agreements respecting the Improvements or any property.benefitted thereby or Tax Levy Calculation For: Cib/of Elk River, Minnesota $1,255,000 General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2003A Dated Date: 12/9/2003 (2) (3) (4) (5) Levy Collect Pay Total Funds P & I Less: Less: Less: Net Tax Year Year Year P & I Available (1) x 105% Spec Assmts Spec Assmts Spec Assmts Levy Levy 2003 / 2004 / 2005 223,888.22 9,494.49 225,113.42 51,905 46,978 43,056 83,174.42 83,200 2004 / 2005 / 2006 255,280.00 268,044.00 50,063 45,311 41,472 131,198.00 131,200 2005 / 2006 / 2007 250,780.00 263,319.00 48,221 43,644 39,888 131,566.00 131,600 2006 / 2007 / 2008 120,717.50 126,753.38 46,379 41,977 38,304 93.38 100 2007 / 2008 / 2009 112,967.50 118,615.88 44,538 40,310 36,720 -2,952.13 0 2008 / 2009 / 2010 110,117.50 115,623.38 42,696 38,643 35,136 -851.63 0 2009 / 2010 / 2011 102,030.00 107,131.50 40,854 36,976 33,552 -4,250.50 0 2010 / 2011 / 2012 98,880.00 103,824.00 39,012 35,309 31,968 -2,465.00 0 2011 / 2012 / 2013 95,730.00 100,516.50 37,170 33,642 30,384 -679.50 0 2012 / 2013 / 2014 62,400.00 65,520.00 35,329 31,975 -1,784.00 0 Totals 1,432,790.72 9,494.49 1,494,461.04 436,167 394,765 330,480 333,049.04 346,100 (1) The following funds am available to pay a portion of the interest payment due August I, 2004: Unused Discount: $9,494.49 (2) Projected Special Assessment revenue based on $334,869 assessed at 5.50%.

Without limitation of the foregoing, the City does not currently have and shall not enter into any lease, use agreement, management or operation contract or other agreement respecting the Improvements which would adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest of the Bonds, taking into account and observing the requirements of Revenue Procedure 97-13 of the Internal Revenue Service and any similar or other applicable revenue procedures or guidelines relating to leases, management contracts and service contracts involving facilities financed with tax-exempt obligations. 23. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds; Rebate. The City shall comply with requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bonds, including without limitation (1) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (2) limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and (3) the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States if the Bonds (together with other obligations reasonably expected to be issued and outstanding at one time in this calendar year) exceed the small-issuer exception amount of $5,000,000. For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate requirements, the City hereby finds, determines and declares that (1) the Bonds are issued by a governmental unit with general taxing powers, (2) no Bond is a private activity bond, (3) ninety-five percent (95%) or more of the net proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for local governmental activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is entirely within the jurisdiction of the City), and (4) the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with, the City) during the 2003 calendar year is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code. 24. Designation of Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code and hereby determines that: (a) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with, the City) during calendar year 2003 will not exceed $10,000,000; and (b) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued or to be issued by the City during calendar year 2003 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements.which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this paragraph. 1581385vl 20 25. Defeasance. When any obligation of a Bond has been discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution to the registered owner of that Bond (with respect to the obligation thereof so defeased) shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may at any time discharge any or all of such obligation(s) with respect to any Bond, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing or regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, bearing interest payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates and in such amounts as shall be required and sufficient, subject to sale and/or reinvestment in like securities, to pay said obligation(s), which may include any interest payment on such Bond and/or principal amount due thereon at a stated maturity (or if irrevocable provision shall have been made for permitted prior redemption of such principal amount, at such earlier redemption date). 26. Compliance With Reimbursement Bond Regulations. With respect to the Improvements, the City has complied and will continue to comply with the "Reimbursement Regulations" provided in United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2. In particular, except where the following may not be required by said Regulations (e.g., with respect to certain "preliminary expenditures"), to the extent that any of the proceeds of the Bonds will be used to reimburse the City for a cost of the Improvements theretofore paid and temporarily financed by the City out of other City funds, prior to the initial payment thereof (or within applicable time limits thereafter) the City has made or will have made a duly qualifying statement of its official intent to bond for such costs (and the City will also make the written "reimbursement allocation" required by the Reimbursement Regulations); otherwise, the proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for initial payment, and not for such reimbursement, of costs of the Improvements. 27. Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. The Council hereby acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to continuing disclosure requirements under Rule 15c2-12(b)(5) (the "Rule") of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Consequently, on the date of actual issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City will execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking") whereunder the City will covenant to provide, or cause to be provided, annual financial information, including audited financial statements of the City, and notices of certain material events, as specified in the Undertaking. The proposed form of the Undertaking which has been submitted to the City for the Council's consideration is hereby approved, and the officers of the City are hereby authorized to execute and deliver that Undertaking in the proposed form or in such final form thereof reflecting such modifications thereof as are consistent with the Rule, requested by the original purchaser of the Bonds and acceptable to the City officials who shall execute the Undertaking (which consent shall be conclusively evidenced by their execution and delivery thereof). The Undertaking, as so executed and delivered by the City, shall be as much a part of this Resolution as if set forth in full herein and shall be for the benefit of the owners from time to time of the Bonds. 28. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Resolution. ~58~385v~ 21 29.
