shall mean the person(whether a natural person, corporation, association,partnership,
trust, governmental unit, or other legal entity)in whose name a Bond is registered in the
Bond Register.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed by
the Holder thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or by an attorney duly
authorized by the Holder in writing,the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like
aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. At the option of the Holder of any Bond in a
denomination greater than$5,000, such Bond may be exchanged for other Bonds of
authorized denominations, of the same maturity and a like aggregate principal amount,
upon surrender of the Bond to be exchanged at the office of the Registrar. Whenever any
Bond is so surrendered for exchange the City shall execute and the Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver the Bonds which the Bondholder making the exchange is entitled
to receive.
(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered for payment, transfer or exchange shall
be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of. The Registrar shall
furnish the City at least once each year a certificate setting forth the principal amounts
and numbers of Bonds canceled and destroyed.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the
Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that
the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and
that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for
the refusal,in good faith,to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or
unauthorized.
(D Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in
whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the Bond Register as the absolute
owner of the Bond,whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of
receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest on the Bond and for
all other purposes; and all payments made to or upon the order of such Holder shall be
valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes,Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds (except
for an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond), the Registrar may impose a charge
4
upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like
amount,number,maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon
cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond
destroyed, stolen or lost,upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the
Registrar in connection therewith; and,in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost,
upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed,
stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an
appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it,in which
both the City and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to
the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to
the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost 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

direction of the City Clerk and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the
Mayor and the City Manager,provided that the 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 any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of
such Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,
the same as if such officer had remained in office until the date of delivery of such Bond.
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
the Bond, substantially in the form provided in Section 2.09,has been 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 any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been duly authenticated and
delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been prepared, executed and
authenticated,the City Manager shall deliver them to the Purchaser upon payment of the
purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore executed, and the Purchaser
shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.

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.

Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond register as being a registered

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 DTC's Operational Arrangements,
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.

substitute a new nominee in place of Cede &Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new
nominee in accordance with paragraph(e)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(e)hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect
6
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(e)hereof.

SECTION 3. GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2003D
CONSTRUCTION FUND. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the
City a separate fund designated the General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2003D
Construction Fund(the Construction Fund). To the Construction Fund there shall be credited
from the proceeds of the Bonds, exclusive of unused discount, accrued and capitalized interest, if
any, an amount equal to the estimated cost of the improvements. There shall also be credited to
the Construction Fund all special assessments collected with respect to the Projects until all costs
of the Projects have been fully paid. All proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the Construction
Fund will be expended solely for the payment of the costs of the improvements, and all
construction costs and expenses for the improvements shall be paid from the Construction Fund.
To the extent required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 429.091, subdivision 4,the City shall
11
maintain a separate account within the Construction Fund to record expenditures for each
improvement. The Finance Director shall maintain the Construction Fund until all costs and
expenses incurred by the City in connection with the construction of the improvements have
been paid. All special assessments on hand in the Construction Fund when terminated or
thereafter received, and any Bond proceeds not so transferred, shall be credited to the General
Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2003D Bond Fund.
SECTION 4. GENERAL OBLIGATION IMPROVEMENT BONDS, SERIES 2003D BOND
FUND. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the City a separate fund
designated the General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2003D Bond Fund(the Bond
Fund). Into the Bond Fund shall be paid(a)the amounts specified in Section 3 above, (b)
capitalized interest, accrued interest and unused bond discount,if any,received from the
Purchaser upon delivery of the Bonds, (c) any taxes collected pursuant to Section 6 hereof, and
(d) any other funds appropriated by the City Council for the payment of the Bonds. The money
on hand in the Bond Fund from time to time shall be used only to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds. If the balance on hand in the Bond Fund is at any time insufficient to pay
principal and interest then due on the Bonds, such amounts shall be paid from other money on
hand in other funds of the City,which other funds shall be reimbursed therefor when sufficient
money becomes available in the Bond Fund. The Bond Fund shall be maintained until the City
has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
There are hereby established two accounts in the Bond Fund, designated as the"Debt
Service Account" and the"Surplus Account." There shall initially be deposited into the Debt
Service Account upon the issuance of the Bonds the amount set forth in(b) above. Thereafter,
during each Bond Year(i.e., each twelve month period commencing on January 2 and ending on
the following January 1), as monies are received into the Bond Fund,the City Finance Director
shall first deposit such monies into the Debt Service Account until an amount has been
appropriated thereto sufficient to pay all principal and interest due on the Bonds through the end
of the Bond Year. All subsequent monies received in the Bond Fund during the Bond Year shall
be appropriated to the Surplus Account. If at any time the amount on hand in the Debt Service
Account is insufficient for the payment of principal and interest then due, 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. Investment earnings (and losses) on amounts from
time to time held in the Debt Service Account and Surplus Account shall be credited or charged
to said accounts.
If the aggregate 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 Surplus
Account in the Bond Fund when the balance therein is sufficient, and the City Council covenants
and agrees that it will each year levy a sufficient amount of ad valorem taxes to take care of any
accumulated or anticipated deficiency,which levy is not subject to any constitutional or statutory
limitation.

payment of the costs of the Projects, the City has done or will do and perform all acts and things
necessary for the final and valid levy of special assessments in an amount not less than 100%of
the cost of each of the improvements financed by the Bonds. The City estimates it will levy
12
special assessments in the aggregate principal amount of$4,305,000. It is estimated that the
principal and interest on such special assessments will be levied in 2003 and collected in the
years 2004-2024 in the amounts shown on Appendix I attached hereto. The principal of the
special assessments shall be made payable in annual installments,with interest as established by
this City Council in accordance with law on installments thereof from time to time remaining
unpaid. In the event any special assessment shall at any time be held invalid with respect to any
lot or tract of land, due to any error, defect or irregularity in any action or proceeding taken or to
be taken by the City or by this City Council or by any of the officers or employees of the City,
either in the making of such special assessment or in the performance of any condition precedent
thereto,the City hereby covenants and agrees that it will forthwith do all such further things and
take all such further proceedings as shall be required by law to make such special assessment a
valid and binding lien upon said property.
SECTION 6. PLEDGE OF TAXING POWERS. For the prompt and full payment of the
principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively come due,the full faith,
credit and unlimited taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged.
However,the City presently estimates that the special assessments described herein,together
with any other funds to be appropriated by the City to the Bond Fund,will be at least five percent
in excess of the amounts needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the
Bonds and therefore no ad valorem taxes are required to be levied at this time.
SECTION 7. DEFEASANCE. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as provided in this
Section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution to the Holders of the
Bonds shall cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are
due on any date by 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,it may nevertheless be
discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with
interest accrued from the due date 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 the
Registrar or with a bank qualified by law to act as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or
securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited for such purpose,bearing interest
payable at such times and at such rates and maturing or callable at the holder's option on such
dates as shall be required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or, if
notice of redemption as herein required has been irrevocably provided for,to an earlier
designated redemption date. Provided,however, that if such deposit is made more than ninety
days before the maturity date or specified redemption date of the Bonds to be discharged,the
City shall have received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit does
not adversely affect the exemption of interest on any Bonds from federal income taxation and a
written report of an accountant or investment banking firm verifying that the deposit is sufficient
to pay when due all of the principal and interest on the Bonds to be discharged on and before
their maturity dates or earlier designated redemption date.
SECTION 8. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS AND CONTINUING
DISCLOSURE.
8.01. General Tax Covenant. The City agrees with the registered owners from time to
time of the Bonds that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or
13
agents, any action that would cause interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income
of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended(the Code) and applicable
Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), and agrees 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. All proceeds of the Bonds deposited in the
Construction Fund will be expended solely for the payment of the costs of the Projects. The
Improvements are and will be owned and maintained by the City and available for use by
members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The City shall not enter into any
lease,management contract,use agreement, capacity agreement or other agreement with any
non-governmental person relating to the use of the Improvements, or any portion thereof, 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.
8.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Mayor and 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 certificate in accordance with
Section 148 of the Code, and applicable 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.
8.03. Arbitrage Rebate Exemption. The City acknowledges that the Bonds are subject to
the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The City covenants and agrees to retain
such records,make such determinations, file such reports and documents and pay such amounts
at such times as are required under said Section 148(f) and applicable Regulations to preserve the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, unless the
Bonds qualify for an exception from the rebate requirement pursuant to one of the spending
exceptions set forth in Section 1.148-7 of the Regulations and no "gross proceeds"of the Bonds
(other than amounts constituting a"bona fide debt service fund") arise during or after the
expenditure of the original proceeds thereof.
8.04. Reimbursement. The City certifies that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used
by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Projects which the City
paid or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the Bonds unless,with respect
to such prior expenditures,the City shall have made a declaration of official intent which
complies with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations;provided that this
certification shall not apply(i)with respect to certain de minimis expenditures,if any,with
respect to the Projects meeting the requirements of Section 1.150-2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or
(ii)with respect to "preliminary expenditures"for the Projects as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(2)
of the Regulations, including engineering or architectural expenses and similar preparatory
expenses,which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% of the"issue price"of the Bonds.
8.05 Continuing Disclosure. (a) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public
availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor and to permit
the Purchaser and other participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to
comply with amendments to Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the SEC under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12), relating to continuing disclosure (as in effect
and interpreted from time to time, the Rule), which will enhance the marketability of the Bonds,
14
the City hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of the Owners (as
hereinafter defined) from time to time of the Outstanding Bonds. The City is the only obligated
person in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for purposes of identifying the
entities in respect of which continuing disclosure must be made. The City has complied in all
material respects with any undertaking previously entered into by it under the Rule. If the City
fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved thereby, including the
Owners of any Outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear
necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of any agreement or covenant
contained in this section, including an action for a writ of mandamus or specific performance.
Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default
hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, in no event shall a default under this section constitute a default under the Bonds or under
any other provision of this resolution. As used in this section, Owner or Bondowner means, in
respect of a Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register
maintained by the Registrar or any Beneficial Owner (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such
Beneficial Owner provides to the Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar. As used herein, Beneficial Owner means, in
respect of a Bond, any person or entity which (i) has the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or
consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, such Bond (including persons or entities
holding Bonds through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (ii) is treated as the
owner of the Bond for federal income tax purposes.
(b) Information To Be Disclosed. The City will provide, in the manner set forth in subsection
(c) hereof, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the City, the following

data regarding the replacement operations. If the Disclosure Information is changed or this
section is amended as permitted by this paragraph (b)(1) or subsection (d), then the City shall
include in the next Disclosure Information to be delivered hereunder, to the extent necessary, an

conditions:

(d) Term; Amendments; Interpretation.
(1) The covenants of the City in this section shall remain in effect so long as any Bonds
are Outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations
of the City under this section shall terminate and be without further effect as of any
date on which the City delivers to the Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that, because of legislative action or final judicial or administrative actions or
proceedings, the failure of the City to comply with the requirements of this section
will not cause participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be
in violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange
17
Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory
thereof.
(2) This section (and the form and requirements of the Disclosure Information) may be

accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on certificates of the
City and others and the opinion may be subject to customary qualifications, to the
effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in connection with a
change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in
the identity, nature*or status of the City or the type of operations conducted by the
City, or(b)is required by, or better complies with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5)
of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied
with the requirements of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the primary
offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under
clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the
amendment or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii)
such amendment or supplement does not materially impair the interests of the
Bondowners under the Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the City agrees to provide,
contemporaneously with the effectiveness of such amendment, an explanation of the
reasons for the amendment and the effect, if any, of the change in the type of
