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 1218477.1 4 1218477.1 premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

(vii) Ail 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 requestin9 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, 9ire the Depository notice of such special record date not less than 30 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 payin9 agency registrar agreement, shall agree to take any actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations. (x) In the case of a partial prepayment of a Bond, the Holder may, in lieu of surrendering the Bond for a Bond of a lesser denomination as Dr0vided in paragraph 6 hereof, make a notation of the reduction in principal amount on the panel provided on the Bond stating the amount so redeemed. (c) Termination of Book-Entry 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 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.

All of the proceeds, including all investment earnings thereon, of the Prior Bonds have heretofore been expended by the City for the uses and purposes for which the City issued said Prior Bonds. The balance in the debt service account heretofore established by the City for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Prior Bonds has been taken into account in appropriately sizing the Bonds, and some monies therein (including special assessments) are expected to be combined as of February 1, 2001, to the extent necessary, with the available proceeds of the Bonds in order to obtain a sum sufficient to accomplish the refunding and to pay the regularly scheduled debt service due on the Prior Bonds on said date; otherwise, the current and anticipated balances in said debt service account do not exceed and are not expected to exceed the aggregate amount of regularly scheduled debt service on the Prior Bonds which is payable on or before February 1, 2001, except only insofar as may be necessary to provide sufficient funds, together with the other monies available for such purposes, to provide for the payment of the debt service first coming due on the Bonds. The City has observed and complied with all of its obligations and covenants made by the City in connection with the issuance of the Prior Bonds. 5. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing August 1, 2001, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the respective rates per annum set forth opposite the maturity years as follows: Maturity Interest Maturity Interest Year Rate Year Rate 2002 % 2005 2003 2006 2004 2007 2008 6.

For the convenience and proper administration of the moneys to be borrowed and repaid on the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, and to make adequate and specific security to the Purchaser and registered owners from time to time of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, there is hereby created a special fund to be designated the General Obligation Improvement Refunding Bonds, Series 2000C, Fund" (the "Fund") to be administered and maintained by the City 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 Refunded Bonds and the Bonds herein authorized and the interest thereon shall have been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two separate accounts, to be designated the ,,Refunding Account" and the "Debt Service Account," respectively. (i) Refunding Account. The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less such proceeds of the Bonds (if any) as may be used to pay issuance expenses or hereinafter directed for deposit into the Debt Service Account, plus any other available municipal funds ("Other Funds"), if any, as may be required to adequately fund the Refunding Account to accomplish its purposes, together with all investment earnings on funds held in the Refunding Account, are hereby pledged and appropriated and shall be credited to the Refunding Account. The Refunding Account may be invested only in securities maturing or callable on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as shall be required to provide funds sufficient, together with any cash or other funds retained in the Refunding Account, and together with monies made available from the debt service account for the Prior Bonds, to pay all principal and interest due on the Prior Bonds on February 1, 2001, whether due thereon by virtue of regularly scheduled debt service or prior redemption. The moneys in the Refunding Account shall be used solely for the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose, except that any surplus in the Refunding Account shall be remitted to the City. Such Other Funds, if any, as may be required to fully fund the Refunding Account as described above are hereby appropriated for said purpose. (ii) Debt Service Account. To the Debt Service Account there are hereby pledged and irrevocably appropriated and there shall be credited: (1) all accrued interest and unused discount received upon delivery of the Bonds which is not then deposited into the Refunding Account; (2) any balance remaining on February 1, 2001, after payment thereon of all of the principal of and interest on all of the Prior Bonds, in the debt service account created for and allocated to the Prior Bonds pursuant to Section 4 of the Council's resolution adopted on June 1, 1992, in connection with the issuance of the Prior Bonds; (3) special assessments levied by the City for the Improvements, but only in such amounts as shall be necessary, together with other monies in the Debt Service Account and available for such purposes, to pay, when due, the principal of and interest on the Bonds; (4) all collections of any ad valorem taxes hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds; (5) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (6) any amounts received by the City upon termination of the Refunding Account. The foregoing funds are hereby pledged to the Debt Service Account, but only in such amounts and at such times as may be necessary, together with other available funds therein (and the same shall be used solely), to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due. 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 any applicable "minor portion" which may be available for the Bonds. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the 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 1218477.1 20 the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code" ) . 17. 105% Debt Service Coverage. It is hereby determined that the estimated collections of the revenues dedicated to the Debt Service Account pursuant to paragraph 16(ii) of this Resolution would 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 file a certified copy of this Resolution with the County Auditor of Sherburne County and obtain the certificate of said office required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63. 18. General Obligation Pledq~. 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. 19. Prior Bonds; Security. Until retirement and full payment of the Prior Bonds, all provisions heretofore made for the security thereof shall be observed by the City; provided, however, that the Council hereby finds and determines that the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds to be used to refund the Refunded Bonds, together with other funds available and appropri- ated to the Refunding Account for said purpose, will be sufficient, together with the earnings on the investment of such funds in the Refunding Account, to pay all principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds. 20. Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The Prior Bonds which mature in 2002 and thereafter shall be redeemed and prepaid on February 1, 2001, and the paying agent/registrar for the Prior Bonds is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of said redemption to be given to the owners of the Prior Bonds in the manner required by law and by the terms of the Prior Bonds. 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 Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as otherwise known to 1218477.1 21 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 Proceeds and 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 assessed with respect thereto, which it may now or in the future have with developers, contractors, owners, lessees, managers, or any other person or parties to the extent that such implementation, effectuation or enforcement would (individually or in the aggregate) cause the Bonds to become such "private activity bonds," and to said limited extent the City would and hereby does (solely for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds) disavow any and all such provisions, entitlements and enforcements which would or could become so offending. Without limitation of the foregoing, the City shall not enter into any lease, use agreement, management or operation contract or other agreement respecting the Improvements or any portion thereof which would adversely affect the exemption from federal income tax of the interest on 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, or do not otherwise qualify for available exceptions. 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 bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with, the City) during the 2000 calendar year is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f) (4) (D) of the Code. For purposes of substantiating the determination that the Bonds, being refunding bonds, are eligible for exception from rebate pursuant to the above, in particular because they meet the applicable requirements set out in Section 148(f) (4) (D) (v) of the Code, the City hereby represents and determines that (1) the Prior Bonds were issued in 1992 by the City, which was at that time and is now a governmental unit with general taxing powers; (2) the Prior Bonds were not private activity bonds under Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code, and the City qualified the Bonds within the ,,small-issuer" exception of Section 148(f) (4) (D) of the Code; (3) 95% or more of the net proceeds of the Prior Bonds were used for local governmental activities of the City; (4) the City, together with all issuers subordinate to or treated as one issuer with the City, did not issue in excess of $5,000,000 of bonds (other than private activity bonds) during calendar year 1992; (5) the average maturity date of the Bonds is not later than the average maturity date of the Refunded Bonds; and (6) none of the Bonds has a maturity date which is later than 30 years after the date on which the Prior Bonds were issued. 24. Desiqnation of Qualified Tax-Exempt Obliqations. The City hereby designates the Bonds (and hereby treats all $900,000 of the Bonds as "deemed designated" under Section 265(b) (3) (D) (ii) of the Code) as ,,qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b) (3) of the Code and further represents 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 2000 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 2000 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. The City is treating the entire $900,000 principal amount of the Bonds as ,'deemed designated" pursuant to the advice of Bond Counsel and the provisions of Section 265(b) (3) (D) (ii) of the Code by virtue of the facts (1) that the Prior Bonds were ~2~8¢??.~ 23 designated by the City as qualified tax-exempt obligations pursuant to Section 265(b) (3) of the Code; (2) that the Bonds, being current refunding obligations, are not taken into account for purposes of the 2000 $10,000,000 limit, (3) the average maturity of the Bonds is less than the average maturity of the Refunded Bonds; and (4) that no Bond has a maturity date which is more than 30 years after the date that the original qualified tax-exempt obligations (being the Prior Bonds) were issued. 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. No Continuinq Disclosure Undertakinq. The Council hereby finds that the Bonds are exempt from continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as recently amended and/or supplemented, because the Bonds are issued in the aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000. Consequently, the City is not covenanting to provide and will not provide annual financial information, notices of certain material events or any other disclosure or information which would otherwise be required by that Rule. 27. 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. 28. Headings. Headings in this Resolution are included for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision hereof.
