Registrar (with, if the City or Bond Registrar so requires, a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the

surrendered.

Fund shall be maintained in the manner herein specified until
all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully
paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two (2) separate
accounts, to be designated the "Construction Account" and
"Debt Service Account", respectively.
(i) Construction Account. To the Construction Account
there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds,
less accrued interest received thereon, and less any amount
paid for the Bonds in excess of $1,039,000, and less
capitalized interest in the amount of $ (together
with interest earnings thereon and subject to such other
adjustments as are appropriate to provide sufficient funds to

assessments levied with respect to the Improvements and
collected prior to completion of the Improvements and payment
of the costs thereof. From the Construction Account there
shall be paid all costs and expenses of making the
Improvements, including the cost of any construction contracts
heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred
of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65;
and the moneys in said account shall be used for no other
purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the
proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary
to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date
of commencement of the collection of taxes or special assess -
18
s
ments herein levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided
further that if upon completion of the Improvements there
shall remain any unexpended balance in the Construction
Account, the balance (other than any special assessments) may
be transferred by the Council to the fund of any other
improvement instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
429; and provided further that any special assessments
credited to the Construction Account shall only be applied
towards payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption
of a resolution by the City Council determining that the
application of the special assessments for such purpose will
not cause the City to no longer be in compliance with
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
(ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably
appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited to,
the Debt Service Account: (a) all collections of special
assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the
Improvements and either initially credited to the Construction
Account and not already spent as permitted above and required
to pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or
collected subsequent to the completion of the Improvements and
payment of the costs thereof; (b) all accrued interest
received upon delivery of the Bonds; (c) all funds paid for
the Bonds in excess of $1,039,000; (d) capitalized interest in
the amount of $ (together with interest earnings
thereon and subject to such other adjustments as are
appropriate to provide sufficient funds to pay interest first
coming due on the Bonds); (e) any collections of all taxes
herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and
interest thereon; (f) all funds remaining in the Construction
Account after completion of the Improvements and payment of
the costs thereof, not so transferred to the account of
another improvement; (g) all investment earnings on funds
held in the Debt Service Account; and (h) any and all other
moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by
the Council to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service
Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest
and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other
general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the
City and made payable from said account as provided by law.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall 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 (1) for a
reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for
the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in
19
addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser
of five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000.
To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from
time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service
Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay
principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable
therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then -applicable
federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard
to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the
applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage
regulations on such investments after taking into account any
applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made
available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in
the Fund shall 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 Bonds to be "federally
guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the
federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") .
17. Assessments. It is hereby determined that no
less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost to the City of the
Improvements financed hereunder within the meaning of
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be
paid by special assessments heretofore levied or to be levied
hereafter against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of
land benefited by any of the Improvements. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that it will let all construction
contracts not heretofore let within one (1) year after
ordering each Improvement financed hereunder unless the
resolution ordering the Improvement specifies a different time
limit for the letting of construction contracts. The City
hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and
perform as soon as they may be done, all acts and things
necessary for the final and valid levy of such special
assessments, and in the event that any such assessment 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 proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the
Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in
the making of the assessments or in the performance of any
condition precedent thereto, the City and the Council will
forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings
as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and
binding lien upon such property.
I
At the time all of the assessments are in fact
levied the Council shall, based on the then -current estimated
collections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any
ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that
the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
18. Tax Leyyi Coverage Test. To provide moneys for
payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds there is
hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a
direct annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the
tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general
property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as
follows:
Year of Tax Year of Tax
Levy Collection Amount
The tax levies shall be irrepealable so 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, Subdivision 3.
19. 105% Debt Service Coverage. It is hereby
determined that the estimated collections of special
assessments relating to the Improvements and the foregoing ad
valorem tax levies will produce at least 5% in excess of the
amount needed to meet, when due, the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, and that no tax levy is needed at this time.

payment, when due, the Council shall levy ad valorem taxes on
all taxable property in the City in the amount of such
deficiency. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is
ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due
on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the
deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of
the City which are available for such purpose, and such other
funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt
Service Account when a sufficient balance is available
therein.
