Section 4. Use of Proceeds and Security Provisions. Section 4.01. Use of Proceeds and Escrow Account. The proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $ 213,065 together with investment income thereon, are irrevocably appropriated for the payment and redemption on February 1, 1994 of the principal amount of the Refunded Bonds. Until applied for such purpose such funds shall be held by the City in a separate escrow account. The accrued interest on the Bonds shall be deposited in the Sinking Fund created pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof. Section 4.02. General Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bond Sinking Fund.

Full Faith and Credit Pledged. The full faith and credit and taxing power of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. It is estimated that the tax increment from the District and other funds herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds will be collected in amounts not less than five percent in excess of the amounts needed to meet when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds and all other obligations of the City payable from tax increments from the District as required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61. Consequently, no ad valorem taxes are now levied to pay the Bonds or the interest to come due thereon, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, subdivision 2. 4.05. Additional Bonds. The City reserves the right to issue additional bonds payable from the Sinking Fund and tax increments to be derived from the District may be'used to finance costs of other projects to be undertaken in accordance with the Old Highway 8 (Walbon) Redevelopment Plan of the HRA or to refund bonds previously issued for such purpose. Section 5. Defeasance. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the Bonds shall cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the paying agent on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the paying agent a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bond called for redemption on any date when it is prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; provided that notice of the redemption thereof has been duly given as provided in Section 3.05. The City may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are general obligations of the United States or securities of United States agencies which are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such time and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, without reinvestment, to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date. • -12- Section 6. Registration, Certification of Proceedings, Investment of Moneys, Arbitrage, Interest Disallowance and Official Statement. 6.01. Registration. The City Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditors of Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, together with such other information as they shall require, and to obtain from each of such County Auditors a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on upon such Auditor's register as required by law. 6.02. Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County Auditors of Hennepin and Ramsey Counties are hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to Dorsey & Whitney, Bond Counsel, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and information as may be 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. 6.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Code and the Regulations • promulgated thereunder (the Regulations), as such are enacted or promulgated and in effect on the date of issue of the Bonds, and covenants to take any and all actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become subject to taxation under such Code and Regulations. 6.04. Arbitrage. The Mayor and City Manager being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and Sections 1.148 of the Regulations, stating the facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds which make it reasonable to expect that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of said Code and Regulations. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain such records, make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts at such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the Bonds qualify for the exception from the rebate requirement under Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code and no "gross proceeds" of • -13- the Bonds (other than amounts constituting a "bona fide debt service fund") arise during or after the expenditure of the original proceeds thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Finance Director is hereby authorized and directed to execute a Rebate Certificate, in the form prescribed by Bond Counsel, and the City hereby covenants and agrees to observe and perform the covenants and agreements contained therein, unless amended or terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof. 6.05. Interest Disallowance. The City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purpose of Section 265(b) of the Code relating to the disallowance of interest expenses for financial institutions. The City represents that in calendar year 1994 the City and all subordinate entities do not reasonably expect to issue tax-exempt obligations which are not private activity bonds (not treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds under Section 145 of the Code as private activity bonds for purposes of this representation) in an amount in excess of $10,000,000. 6.06. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated November 30, 1993, prepared and distributed on behalf of the City by Springsted Incorporated, is hereby approved. Springsted Incorporated, is hereby authorized of behalf of the City to prepare and distribute to the Purchaser a supplement to the Official Statement listing the offering price, the interest rates, other information relating to the Bonds required to be included in the Official • Statement by Rule 15c2-12 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Within seven business days from the date hereof, the City shall deliver to the Purchaser 15 copies of the Official Statement and such supplement. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and directed to execute such certificates as may be appropriate concerning the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of the Official Statement. Section 7. Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The City calls for redemption on February 1, 1994 all of the Refunded Bonds. The City Finance Director is authorized to take all steps necessary to redeem the Refunded Bonds on such date. Section 8. Severability.
