The Fund shall continue to be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the e 276396.1 15 - Bonds and any other bonds hereafter made payable from said Fund have been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two (2) separate accounts, to be designated the "Capital Account" and "Debt Service Account", respectively. e (i) Capital Account. To the Capital Account there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less such amounts thereof as shall be deposited into the Debt Service Account pursuant to paragraph 16(ii) below, plus any special assessments levied with respect to the Improvements and collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof. 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, the costs of issuing the Bonds 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 cQvenanted 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) all accrued interest received upon delivery of the Bonds plus the amount paid for the Bonds in excess of $1,529,850, all to be used to pay the interest first coming due thereon; (c) all collections of any 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 e 276396.1 16 e 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 Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any 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 "issue price" of the Bonds or $100,000. 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 or any Additional Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b} of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). e 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 e1} 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 Councilor e 276396.1 17 e e e 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 col- lections 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. 105% Debt Service Coveraqe. 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, and accordingly no ad valorem tax levy is required at this time. The City Clerk is directed to file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Auditor of Sherburne County and to obtain the certificate of said official required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63. 19. General Obliqation Pledqe. 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. 20. 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. 276396.1 18 e 21. 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 to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. 22. Ta~-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 and to the extent that the Bonds do not qualify for available exceptions.

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). 25. 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 1.103-18, and any successor regulations as may be applicable, including 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 with respect thereto the City will 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. 26. Severability.
