(a) The City hereby accepts the offer of the PFA to purchase the General Obligation Water Revenue Note, Series 2024 (the "Note"), to be issued by the City in the original aggregate principal amount of $15,996,190 at the rate of interest set forth therein, and to pay therefor the par amount of the Note as provided below, and the sale of the Note is awarded to the PFA. Payment for the Note is to be disbursed in installments as eligible costs of the Project are reimbursed or paid, all as provided in the Project Loan Agreement. The terms set forth in this resolution relating to the Note are intended to be consistent with the provisions of the Project Loan Agreement, and to the extent that any provision in the Project Loan Agreement is in conflict with this resolution, the Project Loan Agreement shall control. (b) The Note is to be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $15,996,190, originally and nominally dated as of the date of delivery as a fully registered Note without coupons.

If an officer whose signature will appear on the Note ceases to be such officer before the delivery of the Note, such officer's signature will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. 2 Section 5. Delivery; Application of Proceeds. The Note when so prepared and executed will be delivered by the City Administrator to the PFA prior to disbursements pursuant to the Project Loan Agreement and the purchaser is not obliged to see to the proper application thereof. Section 6. Water Fund and Accounts. There shall be maintained a separate fund in the City treasury designated as the Water Fund (the "Water Fund"). The Finance Director and all municipal officials and employees concerned therewith will establish and maintain financial records of the receipts and disbursements of the municipal water system (the "Water System") in accordance with this resolution. There will be maintained in the Water Fund, in addition to any accounts previously created, the following three (3) separate accounts: (a) A Capital Account to which will be credited all proceeds from the sale of the Note. The Note is the only source of money to be credited to the Capital Account. It is recognized that the sale proceeds of the Note are received in reimbursement for costs expended on the Project or in direct payment of such costs, and that accordingly the money need not be placed in the Capital Account upon receipt but may be applied immediately to reimburse the source from which the expenditure was made. Money in the Capital Account is to be used solely for the purpose of paying for the cost of constructing the Project, including all costs enumerated in Section 475.65 of the Act, provided that such money may only be expended for costs and expenses which are permitted under the Project Loan Agreement. The PFA prohibits the use of proceeds of the Note to reimburse costs initially paid from proceeds of other obligations of the City unless otherwise specifically approved by the PFA. Upon completion of the Project and the payment of the costs thereof, any surplus is to be transferred to the Debt Service Account. (b) An Operation and Maintenance Account into which are to be paid all gross revenues and earnings derived from the operation of the Water System, including all charges for the service, use and availability of and connection to the Water System, when collected, and all money received from the sale of any facilities or equipment of the Water System or any byproducts thereof. From this account there will be paid all the normal, reasonable and current costs of operating, maintaining, and insuring the Water System, including salaries, wages, costs of materials and supplies, necessary legal, engineering and auditing services, and all other items that, by sound accounting practices, constitute normal, reasonable and current costs of operating and maintenance, but excluding any allowance for depreciation, extraordinary repairs and payments into any debt service account All money remaining in the Operation and Maintenance Account after paying or providing for the foregoing items constitutes, and is referred to in this resolution as, "net revenues." (c) A Debt Service Account into which are irrevocably pledged or credited (i) net revenues of the Water System in an amount sufficient, with other money, to pay the principal of and interest on the Note when due; (ii) all collections of taxes which may hereafter be levied for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note; (iii) all 3 investment earnings on money held in the Debt Service Account; (iv) any amounts transferred from the Capital Account; and (v) any other money which is properly available and is appropriated by the City Council to the Debt Service Account. The money in this account may be used only to pay or prepay the principal of the Note and to pay interest on the Note and any other obligations hereafter issued and made payable from this account, and to pay any rebate due to the United States with respect to the PFA Bonds in connection with the Note. (d) Excess net revenues not required for the purposes of the Water Fund may be used for any proper municipal purpose. No portion of the proceeds of the Note may 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 (i) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Note was issued, and (ii) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Note or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Note or any sums from time to time held in the Capital Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal of or interest on the Note) in excess amounts which under then applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield will not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by the arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. In addition, money in the Water Fund will 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 Note to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The City will observe the covenants of Sections 14, 15, 16, and 17 of this resolution and of Article 3 of the Project Loan Agreement with regard to the Water Fund. Section 7. Coverage Test; Pledge of Net Revenues; Excess Revenues. It is found, determined and declared that the net revenues of the Water System are sufficient in amount to pay one hundred five percent (105%) of the principal of and interest on the Note when due, and the net revenues of the Water System are pledged to the payment of the Note, but solely to the extent required to meet, with other pledged sources, one hundred five percent (105%) of the principal and interest requirements of the Note as the same become due. Section 8. Pledge to Produce Revenues. In accordance with the Act, the City hereby covenants and agrees with the holder of the Note that it will impose and collect charges for the service, use and availability of any connection to the Water System at the times and in the amounts required to produce net revenues adequate to pay all principal and interest when due on the Note. 4 Section 9. General Obligation Pledge. The full faith and credit and taxing powers of the City will be and are irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Note as the same respectively become due. If the net revenues of the Water System appropriated and pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the Note, together with other funds irrevocably appropriated to the Debt Service Account referred to in Section 6 hereof, are at any time insufficient to pay such principal and interest when due, the City covenants and agrees to levy, without limitation as to rate or amount, an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the City sufficient to pay such principal and interest as the same become due. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Note and any other obligations payable therefrom, the deficiency will be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and those other funds may be reimbursed, with or without interest, from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available in that account. Section 10. Certificate of Registration. The City Clerk is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the Manager of Property Records and Taxation of Anoka County, Minnesota (the "Manager of Property Records and Taxation"), together with such other information as the Manager of Property Records and Taxation may require, and to obtain the certificate of the Manager of Property Records and Taxation that the Note has been entered in the bond register of the Manager of Property Records and Taxation. Section 11. Project Loan Agreement. The Project Loan Agreement is approved in substantially the form presented to the City Council, and in the form executed is incorporated by reference and made a part of this resolution. The provisions of this resolution relating to the Note are intended to be consistent with the provisions of the Project Loan Agreement, and to the extent that any provision in the Project Loan Agreement is in conflict with this resolution as it relates to the Note, that provision controls. The execution and delivery of the Project Loan Agreement by the Mayor and the City Clerk is hereby authorized and ratified. The execution of the Project Loan Agreement by the appropriate officers is conclusive evidence of the approval of the Project Loan Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. The Project Loan Agreement may be attached to the Note, and must be attached to the Note if the holder of the Note is any person other than the PFA. Section 12. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the PFA, and to the attorneys approving the legality of the issuance of the Note, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the Note 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 Note 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, are to be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein. E Section 13. Electronic Signatures. The electronic signature of the Mayor, the City Administrator, the Finance Director, and/or the City Clerk to this resolution, the Project Loan Agreement, and any certificate authorized to be executed hereunder shall be as valid as an original signature of such party and shall be effective to bind the City thereto. For purposes hereof, (i) "electronic signature" means (a) a manually signed original signature that is then transmitted by electronic means or (b) a signature obtained through DocuSign or a similarly digitally auditable signature gathering process; and (ii) "transmitted by electronic means" means sent in the form of a facsimile or sent via the internet as a portable document format ("pdf") or other replicating image attached to an electronic mail or internet message. Section 14. Negative Covenants as to Use of Proceeds and Project. The City covenants not to use the proceeds of the Note or to use the Project, or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Project, in such a manner as to cause the Note to be a private activity bond within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. The City reasonably expects that no actions will be taken over the term of the Note that would cause it to be a private activity bond, and the average term of the Note is not longer than reasonably necessary for the governmental purpose of the issue. The City covenants not to use the proceeds of the Note in such a manner as to cause the Note to be a "hedge bond" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code. Section 15. Tax -Exempt Status of the Note; Rebate. The City will 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 Note, including without limitation (i) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments; (ii) limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the PFA Bonds; and (iii) the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States. Section 16. Tax -Exempt Status of the PFA Bonds; Rebate. The City, with respect to the Note, will 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 PFA Bonds, including without limitation (1) requirements relating to temporary periods for investments; (ii) limitations on amounts invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by the Code; and (iii) the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States. The City covenants and agrees with the PFA and holders of the Note that the investments of proceeds of the Note, including the investment of any revenues pledged to the Note which are considered gross proceeds of the PFA Bonds under the applicable regulations, and accumulated sinking funds, if any, will be limited as to amount and yield in such manner that the PFA Bonds will not be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and any regulations thereunder. On the basis of the existing facts, estimates and circumstances, including the foregoing findings and covenants, the City certifies that it is not expected that the proceeds of the Note will be used in such manner as to cause the PFA Bonds to be arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code and any regulations thereunder. The Mayor and the City Administrator will furnish a certificate to the PFA embracing or based on the foregoing certification at the time of delivery of the Note to the PFA. I Section 17. Not Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. The Note is not designated as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. Section 18. Reimbursement. The City may have incurred certain expenditures with respect to the Project that were financed temporarily from other sources but are expected to be reimbursed with proceeds of the Note. On June 24, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No.24-85, declaring the City's official intent to reimburse certain costs of the Project from proceeds of the Note (the "Declaration"). This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for purposes of the Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code. Section 19. Severability. If any section,l paragraph or provision of this resolution is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the validity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision will not affect any of the remaining provisions of this resolution. Section 20. Headings. Headings in this resolution are included for convenience of reference only and are not a part hereof, and do not limit or define the meaning of any provision hereof.
