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.

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 discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (d) hereof. (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.

If the balance in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay all interest and principal then due on all bonds payable therefrom, the payment shall be made from any fund of the City which is available for that purpose, subject to reimbursement from the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the Council covenants and agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount to take care of any accumulated or anticipated deficiency, which levy is not subject to any constitutional or statutory tax limitation. -11- 5.02.

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 Auditors shall require, and to obtain from each County Auditor a certificate that the Bonds have been entered on his bond register and the taxes described in Section 5.07 hereof have been levied as required by law. 7.02. 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. 7.03. Covenant. The City covenants and agrees with the registered owners 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 payable 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 are enacted or promulgated and in effect on the date of issuance 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 includable in gross income of the recipient under the Code and the Regulations. The facilities financed by the Bonds shall at all times during the term of the Bonds be owned and maintained by the City and the City shall not enter into any lease, use agreement, management agreement, capacity agreement or other agreement or contract with any nongovernmental person relating to the use of the facilities financed by the Bonds, or security for the payment of the Bonds which might cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or"private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code. 7.04. Arbitrage Rebate. It is hereby determined that the Bonds qualify for the "small issuer" exemption from arbitrage rebate set forth in Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code, as modified by Section 148(f)(4)(D)(v) of the Code since: -13- (i) the Prior Bonds qualified for the exception from arbitrage rebate provided by Section 148(f)(4)(D)(i) of the Code; (ii) the aggregate face amount of the Bonds does not exceed $5,000,000; (iii) the average maturity of the Bonds does not exceed the remaining weighted average maturity of the Prior Bonds; and (iv) no Bond has a maturity date which is later than the date which is 30 years after the earliest date the Prior Bonds were issued. Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of Section 148(f)(4)(D) 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 with respect to the Bonds. 7.05. Interest Disallowance. Each of the Prior Bonds is a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code, the average maturity date of the Bonds is not later than the average maturity date of the Prior Bonds refunded by the Bonds, the Bonds have a maturity date which is not later than the date which is 30 years after the earliest date the Prior Bonds were issued, and the aggregate face amount of the Bonds does not exceed $10,000,000. Therefore, pursuant to Section 265(b)(3)(D)(ii), the Bonds to the extent they do not exceed the principal amount of the Prior Bonds refunded by the Bonds are deemed designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b) of the Code relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions. The City hereby designates the principal amount of the Bonds in excess of the Prior Bonds refunded by 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 2011 it does not reasonable 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, excluding any tax-exempt obligations which are refundings of a "qualified tax-exempt obligation' which are not taken into account for this purpose under Section 265(b)(3)(D)(ii) of the Code. 7.06. Official Statement. The Official Statement relating to the Bonds, dated December 1, 2011, prepared and distributed on behalf of the City by Ehlers & Associates, Inc., is hereby approved. Ehlers & Associates, Inc., 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.
