The Registrar and the City may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, if any, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under this resolution,registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Registrar nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through • DTC or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond register as being a registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of Bonds under this resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. So long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to such Bond, only to Cede& Co. in accordance with the Representation Letter, 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 interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance with paragraph (d)hereof. (c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may notify DTC and the Registrar,whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in • accordance with paragraph (d)hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and -13- • discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.

(d) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under paragraph (b) or(c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. In the event Bonds in the form of certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as owner of all the Bonds, or another securities depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions of this resolution shall also apply to all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of such Bonds in the form of bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such Bonds in the form of bond certificates. Section 4. Security Provisions. 4.01. 2000 State-Aid Street Construction Fund. There is hereby created a special bookkeeping fund to be designated as the "2000 State-Aid Street Construction Fund" (the "Construction Fund"),to be held and administered by the City Finance Director separate and apart from all other funds of the City. The City appropriates to the Construction Fund $938,600 of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. The Construction Fund shall be used solely to defray expenses of the Improvements, including but not limited to the transfer to the Bond Fund, created in Section 4.02 hereof, of amounts sufficient for the payment of interest, due upon the • Bonds prior to the completion of the Improvements and the payment of the expenses incurred by the City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Upon completion and payment of all costs of the Improvements, any balance of the proceeds of Bonds remaining in the Construction Fund may be used to pay the cost, in whole or in part, of any other improvements to state-aid streets in the City, as directed by the City Council,but any balance of such proceeds not so used shall be credited and paid to the Bond Fund. 4.02. 2000 State-Aid Street Bond Fund. So long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and any principal of or interest thereon unpaid, the City Finance Director shall maintain on its books and records a separate and special bookkeeping fund designated"2000 State-Aid Street Bond Fund"(the"Bond Fund") to be used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The City hereby appropriates to the Bond Fund the accrued interest on the Bonds and any amount in excess of$938,600 received from the Purchaser upon delivery of the Bonds, any amounts transferred to the Bond Fund pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof and from its account in the Municipal State-Aid Street Fund of the State of Minnesota, such amount as shall be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, on the dates and in the amounts as follows: • -14- • Principal Interest payable on Year Amount April 1 October 1 2001 $70,000 $36,153.75 $24,102.50 2002 70,000 24,102.50 22,457.50 2003 70,000 22,457.50 20,795.00 2004 70,000 20,795.00 19,115.00 2005 70,000 19,115.00 17,417.50 2006 70,000 17,417.50 15,702.50 2007 70,000 15,702.50 13,935.00 2008 70,000 13,935.00 12,167.50 2009 70,000 12,167.50 10,400.00 2010 65,000 10,400.00 8,710.00 2011 65,000 8,710.00 7,020.00 2012 65,000 7,020.00 5,297.50 2013 65,000 5,297.50 3,575.00 2014 65,000 3,575.00 1,787.50 2015 65,000 1,787.50 The Finance Director shall follow the procedure set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 162.18, Subdivision 4, for obtaining such funds. If at any time the moneys in the Sinking Fund should be insufficient to pay all principal and interest due on the Bonds, the Finance Director shall • nevertheless pay the same from any moneys on hand in the general fund of the City, and the moneys so used shall be restored to the general fund from the moneys next received by the City from the Construction or Maintenance Account in the Municipal State-Aid Street Fund of the State of Minnesota, which are not required for the payment of additional principal and interest. There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the "Debt Service Account" and the "Surplus Account." All money appropriated or to be deposited in the Bond Fund shall be deposited as received into the Debt Service Account. On each April 1, the City Finance Director shall determine the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account. If such amount is in excess of one-twelfth of the debt service payable from the Bond Fund in the immediately preceding 12 months, the City Finance Director shall promptly transfer the amount in excess to the Surplus Account. The City appropriates to the Surplus Account any amounts to be transferred thereto from the Debt Service Account as herein provided and all income derived from the investment of amounts on hand in the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on hand in the Debt Service Account is insufficient to meet the requirements of the Bond Fund, the City Finance Director shall transfer to the Debt Service Account amounts on hand in the Surplus Account to the extent necessary to cure such deficiency. 4.03. Pledge of Taxing Powers. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively become due, the full faith, credit and unlimited taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. However, it is estimated that the state-aid street allotments appropriated for the payment of such principal and • interest in Section 4.02 hereof will be not less than 5% in excess of such principal and interest when due, and accordingly no tax is levied at this time. However, if an actual or anticipated -15- • deficiency should arise in the receipt of such allotments, the City shall levy an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the City in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, in an amount sufficient to eliminate the actual or anticipated deficiency. Section 5. Defeasance. When any Bond has been discharged as provided in this Section 5, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of such Bonds shall cease, and such Bonds shall no longer be deemed outstanding under this Resolution. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bond which is due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, the City may nevertheless discharge its obligations with respect thereto by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit. 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 authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such times 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. Section 6. County Auditor Registration Certification of Proceedings, Investment of Money, Arbitrage, Official Statement and Fees. • 6.01. County Auditor 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 the County Auditor shall require, and to obtain from said County Auditors a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond 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 LLP, Bond Counsel to the City, 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. • -16- • 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and 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. The Improvements are public improvements available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The City will not enter into any lease, use agreement or other contract respecting the Improvements or security for the payment of the Bonds which would cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or"private loan bonds"pursuant to Section 141 of the Code. 6.04. Arbitrage Rebate. For purposes of complying with the requirements of Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code relating to the exemption of certain small governmental units from the rebate requirements of the Code, the City represents that: (i) the City is a governmental unit with general taxing powers; (ii) the Bonds are not"private activity bonds"as defined in Section 141 of the Code (Private Activity Bonds); • (iii) ninety-five percent of the net proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for the local governmental purposes of the City; and (iv) the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt bonds (other than Private Activity Bonds) issued by the City in calendar year in which the Bonds are to be issued is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000. Therefore,pursuant to the provisions of Section 148(f)(4)(C) of the Code, the City shall not be required to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of Section 148(f) of the Code. 6.05. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and the 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 certification in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code, and 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 the Code and Regulations. 6.06. 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 2000 it • does not reasonably expect to issue tax—exempt obligations which are not private activity bonds -17- • (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. 6.07. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated May 31, 2000,prepared and distributed on behalf of the City by Springsted Incorporated, is hereby approved. Springsted Incorporated is hereby authorized on behalf of the City to prepare and distribute to the Purchaser a supplement to the Official Statement listing the offering price, the interest rates, selling compensation, delivery date, the underwriters and such other information relating to the Certificates 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 40 copies of the Official Statement and such supplement.
