The City reserves the right to issue additional bonds payable from the Bond Fund as may be required to finance costs of the Improvements not financed hereby; provided that the City Council shall, prior to the delivery of such additional bonds, levy or agree to levy by resolution sufficient additional special assessments and ad valorem taxes, if any, which, together with other moneys or revenues pledged for the payment of said additional obligations, will produce revenues at least five percent(5%) in excess of the amount needed to pay when due the principal and interest on all bonds payable from the Bond Fund. The additional special assessments, ad valorem taxes and moneys or revenues so pledged, levied or agreed to be levied shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond Fund in the manner provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61. 4.04. Levy of Special Assessments. The City hereby covenants and agrees that for payment of the cost of each of the Improvements it will do and perform all acts and things necessary for the full and valid levy of special assessments against all assessable lots, tracts and parcels of land benefited thereby and located within the area proposed to be assessed therefor, based upon the benefits received by each such lot, tract or parcel, in an aggregate principal amount not less than twenty percent(20%) of the cost of the Improvements. In the event that any such assessment shall 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 proceeding taken or to be taken by -13- the City or this Council or any of the City's officers or employees, either in the making of such assessment or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this Council hereby covenant and agree that they will forthwith do all such further acts and take all such further proceedings as may be required by law to make such assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. The Council presently estimates that the special assessments shall be in the aggregate principal amount of$523,454 payable in not more than 15 installments, the first installment to be collectible with taxes during the year 2007, and that deferred installments shall bear interest at the rate of not less than 6.55%per annum from the date of the resolution levying said assessment until December 31 of the year in which the installment is payable. 4.05. Ad Valorem Taxes.

This tax shall be irrevocably appropriated to the Bond Fund as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid; provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61. 4.06.

The full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably • pledged for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and the interest on the Bonds, and the Bonds shall be payable from the Bond Fund in accordance with the provisions and covenants -14- contained in this resolution. It is estimated that the special assessments and ad valorem taxes levied and to be levied for the payment of the Improvements will be collected in amounts not less than five percent(5%) in excess of the annual principal and interest requirements of the Bonds. If the money on hand in the Bond Fund should at any time be insufficient for the payment of principal and interest then due, this City shall pay the principal and interest out of any fund of the City, and such other fund or funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient money is available to the Bond Fund. If on October 1 in any year the sum of the balance in the Bond Fund plus the amount of taxes and special assessments theretofore levied for the Improvements and collectible through the end of the following calendar year is not sufficient to pay when due all principal and interest become due on all Bonds payable therefrom in said following calendar year, or the Bond Fund has incurred a deficiency in the manner provided in this Section 4.06, a direct, irrepealable, ad valorem tax shall be levied on all taxable property within the corporate limits of the City for the purpose of restoring such accumulated or anticipated deficiency in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. 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 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 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.

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 -15- 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. 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 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.

If the amount on deposit therein ever exceeds the aggregate amount of principal and interest due and payable from the Bond Fund through the next following February 1 plus a reasonable carryover as permitted by the Regulations, such excess shall be used to prepay and redeem Bonds or be invested at a yield less than or equal to the yield on the Bonds, based upon their amounts, maturities and interest rates on their date of issue, computed by the actuarial method. The City reserves the right to amend -16- • the provisions of this Section at any time, whether prior to or after the delivery of the Bonds, if and to the extent that this Council determines that the provisions of this Section are not necessary in order to ensure that the Bonds are not"arbitrage bonds"within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and Regulations. 6.06. 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. 6.07. 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 2007 it does 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. 6.08.
