If the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms, it shall not be necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment. (i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated authenticating agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 1, as amended. 0) Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. 3.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City hereby appoints U.S. Bank National Association in St. Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and City Manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with U.S. Bank -8- National Association, as Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another • corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, such corporation shall be authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove any Registrar upon thirty (30)days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar shall deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar. 3.05. Redemption. Bonds maturing in the years 2009 through 2015 are payable on their respective stated maturity dates without option of prior payment, but Bonds maturing in 2016 and thereafter are each subject to redemption, at the option of the City and in whole or in part, and if in part, in the maturities selected by the City and, within any maturity, in$5,000 principal amounts selected by the Registrar by lot, on February 1, 2015 and on any date thereafter, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. At least thirty days prior to the date set for redemption of any Bond, the City shall cause notice of the call for redemption to be mailed to the Registrar and to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed, but no defect in or failure to give such mailed notice of redemption shall affect the validity of proceedings for the redemption of any Bond not affected by such defect or failure. The notice of redemption shall specify the redemption date, redemption price, the numbers, interest rates and CUSIP numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed and the place at which the Bonds are to be surrendered for payment, which is the principal office of the Registrar. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds or portions thereof shall cease to bear interest. Bonds in a denomination larger than $5,000 may be redeemed in part in any integral multiple of$5,000. The owner of any Bond redeemed in part shall receive without charge, upon surrender of such Bond to the Registrar, one or more new Bonds in authorized denominations equal in principal amount to be unredeemed portion of the Bond so surrendered. 3.06. Preparation and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the direction of the City Finance Director and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that all signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if he or she had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on such Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on each Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Finance Director shall deliver them to the Purchaser upon -9- payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price. 3.07. Use of Securities Depository; Book-Entry Only System. The provisions of this Section shall take precedence over the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 to the extent they are inconsistent therewith. (a) The Depository Trust Company("DTC") has agreed to act as securities depository for the Bonds, and to provide a Book-Entry Only System for registering the ownership interest of the financial institutions for which it holds the Bonds (the"DTC Participants"), and for distributing to such DTC Participants such amount of the principal and interest payments on the Bonds as they are entitled to receive, for redistribution to the beneficial owners of the Bonds as reflected in their records (the`Beneficial Owners"). (b) Initially, and so long as DTC or another qualified entity continues to act as securities depository, the Bonds shall be issued in typewritten form, one for each maturity in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of each maturity, shall be registered in the name of the securities depository or its nominee, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.07, and no Beneficial Owner shall have the right to receive a certificate of ownership or printed Bond. While DTC is acting as the securities depository, the Bonds shall be registered in the name of the DTC's nominee, CEDE & CO; provided that upon delivery by DTC to the City and the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE & CO., the words "CEDE & CO." in this Order shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. With respect to Bonds registered in the name of a securities depository or its nominee, the City and the Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or Beneficial Owner with respect to the following: (i) the accuracy of the records of any securities depository or its nominee with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or other person or any other person, other than DTC, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or(iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than DTC, of any amount with respect to the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The Registrar shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. So long as the Book-Entry Only System is in effect, no person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond. (c) Upon receipt by the City and the Registrar of written notice from the securities depository to the effect that it is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities under the Book-Entry Only System, the Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange Bonds of the initial series as requested by the securities depository in appropriate amounts, and whenever the securities depository requests the City and the Registrar to do so, the City and the Registrar shall cooperate with the securities depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice(i)to arrange for a substitute depository willing and able,upon reasonable and customary terms, to maintain custody of the Bonds, or(ii) to make available Bonds registered in whatever name or -10- names the Beneficial Owner registering ownership transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate, in accordance with clause(f) or clause(g)below, whichever is applicable. (d) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interests of the Beneficial Owner that they be able to obtain printed Bonds, the City may so notify the securities depository and the Registrar, whereupon the securities depository shall notify the Beneficial Owners of the availability through the securities depository of such printed Bonds. In such event, the City shall cause to be prepared and the Registrar shall issue, transfer and exchange the printed Bonds fully executed and authenticated, as requested by the securities depository in appropriate amounts and, whenever the securities depository requests, the City and the Registrar shall cooperate with the securities depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make available printed Bonds registered on the Bond Register in whatever name or names the Beneficial Owners entitled to receive Bonds shall designate, in accordance with clause (f) or clause(g)below, whichever is applicable. (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of a securities depository or its nominee, all payments of principal and interest on the Bond and all notices with respect to the Bond shall be made and given,respectively, to the securities depository. (f) In the event that the Book-Entry Only System established pursuant to this Section is discontinued, except as provided in clause(g), the Bonds shall be issued through the securities depository to the Beneficial Owners. (g) In the event of termination of the Book-Entry Only System, the City shall have the right to terminate, and shall take all steps necessary to terminate, all arrangements with the securities depository described herein, and thereafter shall issue, register ownership of, transfer and exchange all Bonds as provided in Section 3.03. Upon receipt by the securities depository of notice from the City,the securities depository shall take all actions necessary to assist the City and the Registrar in terminating all arrangements for the issuance of documents evidencing ownership interests in the Bonds through the securities depository. Nothing herein shall affect the securities depository's rights under clause (e) above. Section 4. Security Provisions. 4.01. 2008 Utilities Construction Fund. There is hereby created a special bookkeeping fund to be designated as the"2008 Utilities 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 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 the Utilities, as directed -I1- by the City Council,but any balance of such proceeds not so used shall be credited and paid to the Bond Fund. 4.02. 2008 Utilities 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 "2008 Utilities Bond Fund" (the "Bond Fund") to be used for no purpose other than the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and any additional obligations of the City payable therefrom pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof. If the balance in the Bond Fund is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on bonds payable therefrom, the City Finance Director shall nevertheless provide sufficient money from any other funds of the City which are available for that purpose, and such other funds shall be reimbursed from subsequent receipts of net revenues of the Utilities appropriated to the Bond Fund and, if necessary, from the proceeds of the taxes levied for the Bond Fund. The City Finance Director shall deposit in the Bond Fund the proceeds of all taxes levied and all other money which may at any time be received for or appropriated to the payment of such bonds and interest, including the net revenues of the Utilities herein pledged and appropriated to the Bond Fund, all collections of any ad valorem taxes levied for the payment of the Bonds, and all other moneys received for or appropriated to the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon. 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 February 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. Imposition of Charges; Additional Bonds. The City hereby covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, the City will impose and collect reasonable charges for the service, use and availability of the Utilities to the City and its inhabitants according to schedules calculated to produce net revenues which, will be sufficient to pay all principal and interest when due on the Bonds and all other obligations payable from the net revenues of the Utilities. Net revenues of the Utilities, to the extent necessary, are hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the payment of the principal of the Bonds and interest thereon; provided that nothing herein shall preclude the City from hereafter making further pledges and appropriations of net revenues of the Sewer and Water Utility or Storm Water Utility for the payment of additional obligations of the City hereafter authorized if the City Council determines before the authorization of such additional obligations that the estimated net revenues of the Utilities will be sufficient, together . with any other sources pledged to or projected to be used, for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and paid therefrom and such additional obligations. Such further pledges -12- and appropriations of said net revenues may be made superior or subordinate to or on a parity . with the pledge and appropriation herein made, as to the application of net revenues received from time to time. 4.04. Full Faith and Credit Pledged. 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 any other obligations payable from the Bond Fund, as such principal and interest comes due. 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 February 1 in any year the sum of the balance in the Bond Fund plus the available net revenues of the Utilities on hand and estimated to be received or before the end of the following calendar year is not sufficient with any ad valorem taxes heretofore levied in accordance with the provisions of this resolution, 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 4.04, 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 an amount at least 5% in excess of amount needed to make good the 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.

Certification of Proceedings. The officers of the City and the County • Auditor of Hennepin County 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. 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 Improvements shall at all times during the term of the Bonds be owned and maintained by the City and the City will not enter into any lease, use agreement, management agreement, or other agreement or 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.
