On,December 31, 1978, the City requested from each bank, savings and loan association and
mortgage banking company having an office in the City (or doing a substantial and continuous
mortgage lending business in the City) an expression of interest in participating in the Program. Based
upon responses to this inquiry, on February 7, 1979, the City delivered to,�42,,financial institutions a
copy of the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement, the enforceability of which is not being
passed upon by any counsel, constitutes an offer by the Originator to the City to originate and sell
yualified Mortgage Loans to the City in the aggregate principal amount stated therein and within the
time period described below.The various Purchase Agreements have been executed by the Originators
and will be accepted by the City upon the sale of the Bonds.The acceptance by the City can be for the
total principal amount of Mortgage Loans requested by the Originator or for such lesser amount as the
City (with the advice and counsel of the Program Administrator) may determine. With the executed
Purchase Agreement, each Originator has submitted to the City a commitment fee(the"Commitment
Fee") equal to 1°%of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loans requested in the Purchase Agreement
to be sold to the City by such Originator. To the extent that the City reduces the principal amount of
such Mortgage Loans prior to acceptance of any Purchase Agreement, a proportionate amount of the
*Estimated; amounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.

r
Y Commitment Fee is refunded to the Originator. On the date of issuance of the Bonds, the Commitment
Fees will be deposited in t,he Mort�age I.oan Fund established under the Indenture.�
Each Originator is required to apply separately for Mortgage Loans that will be used to finance the
purchase of newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated Homes in designated Redevelopment
Areas (the "Redevelopment Mortgage Loans"). The City has received executed copies of the Yurchase
Agreements from 23 financial institutions, under which such institutions have requested to originate
and sell Mortgage Loans in the total aggregate principal amount o�f$76,3�60,000�, of which $9,91U,000
was for R,edevelopment Mortgage Loans.To the extent that Redevelopment Mortgage Loans can�not e
committed, or closed and delivered within the time periods described under the caption "Special
Provisions for Redevelopment Areas", such Originator will be required to originate "standard"
Mortgage Loans in the same principal amount.
The City expects to accept Purchase Agreements for the principal amount of Mortgage Loans set
forth below, which is not in excess of$3,405,000 for any one Originator, subject only to the delivery of
A
the Bonds.

1'he lndenture requires that there be in existence, on the date of issuance and delivery of the
Bonds, Purchase Agreements under which Originators shall be obligated to originate and sell to the
City Mortgage Loans at an aggregate price at least equal to the amount of Bond proceeds and
C;ommitment Fees reserved for that purpose and to be deposited in the Mortgage Loan Fund.
As more fully described herein under the caption"The Originators and Servicers",the Originators
have furnished the City with information showing that during the 12 month period from approximately
January 1, 1978 to December 31, 1978, they originated approximately$129,828,900 aggregate principal
'Estimated; amounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.
7
amoune of single-family residential mortgage loans within the City.The total amount of Bond proceeds
reserved for the purchase of Mortgage Loans and subject to comm�ments with the Originators under
the Yurchase Agreements is $41,71Q,000'. '1'o t.he extent not expended for the purchase of Mortgage
I,oans, amounts so reserved may be used to redeem Bonds at par (see the information herein under the
caption "The Bonds — Redemption — Special Redemption — From Undisbursed Proceeds"). The
eff�ect of such redemption on the Program is discussed under the caption "Security for the Bonds —
Program Assumptions".
Until 1976, Minnesota law restricted the maximum yield on mortgage loans to 8`i��per annum.The
statute was subsequently superceded by a law which limited the interest and yield on mortgage loans
(other than those insured or guaranteed by an agency of the federal government) to a rate which floats
each month at approximately two percentage points above the then applicable long-term U.S.
Government bond rate. Presently, the maximum interest rate on such mortage loans is 10-1/4°�, per
annum. The superceding statute expires on July 31, 1979, and, unless new legislation is enacted, loans
committed to mortgagors thereafter must not exceed 8�io per annum. Under the Program, Mortgage
Loans are required to bear interest at a rate in excess of 8`,i� per annum, and will be r�quired to be
committed by the Originators to prospective mortgagors subsequent to the time such superceding
statute is scheduled to expire. If the statute is not reenacted or extended by July 31, 1979, the
Originators will by necessity be required to make only Mortgage Loans thereafter which are FHA
insured or VA guaranteed, or otherwise not subject to the 8`� limitation.
Detivery of Mortgage Loans
1'he Purchase Agreements provide different time requirements for the making and tender for
purchase of the Mortgage Loans, depending upon whether the Mortgage Loans is made for the purpose
of financing existin�, newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated Homes. Each Purchase
Agreement, provides that �he Originator will commit to make all Mortgage Loans used to 1'inance the
purchase of an existing Home within six months from the date specified in a notice to be given by the
City or the Program Administrator to each Originator(currently estimated to be April 5, 1979), to close
all such Mortgage Loans within nine inonths from the date of such notification, and to deliver all such --_-
Mortgage Loans to the Program Administrator for examination prior to purchase within 45 days of the
date of closing of each Mortgage Loan. With respect to Mortgage Loans used to finance the purchase of
newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated Homes, the Purchase Agreements require the
Originator to commit to make such Mortgage Loans within six months of the above-referred-to
notification date, to close all such Mortgage Loans within 12 months from of the date of such
notification and to deliver all such Mortgage Loans to the Program Administrator for examination
prior to purchase within 45 days of the date of closing of each such Mortgae Loan. A newly constructed
Home is one,for which construction has been compteted after the above-referred-to notification date
and in which the mortgagor will be the first owner-occupant; and a substantially rehabilitated Home
means one in whic� the amount expended for such rehabilitation, per living unit of the Home, is at
least equal to the lesser of 50°0 of the sale price of the Home or$15,000, for first time occupancy by the
mortgagor in after-rehabilitated condition. Different provisions as to time periods apply to Mortgage
Loans made to finance the purchase of Homes in Redevelopment Areas, as more fully set forth is herein
under the caption "Special Yrovisions for Redevelopment Areas." In order to be eligible for purchase
by the City, each Mortgage Loan must satisfy the requirements set forth below under the caption"The
Mortgage Loans."
The Originator is permitted (to the extent permitted by law) to charge each mortgagor or the seller
of the Home an origination fee not in excess of 1°� (or, in the case of newly constructed Homes, 2°r'o) of
the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan. All Mortgage Loans are to be purchased by the City at
�heir then outstanding principal amount, plus or minus accrued interest, plus an amount equal to 1°�0
of the original principal amount.The 1%Commitment Fee originally paid to the City by the Originator
at the time of execution of the Purchase Agreement is to be retained by the City (regardless of
performance by the Originator under the Purchase Agreement) and deposited with the Trustee in the
Mortgage Loan Fund, estabtished under the Indenture, at the time of delivery of the Bonds, and will be
used, together with Bond proceeds deposited therein, to purchase Mortgage Loans.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Originator must represent and warrant, amon� other
thin�;s, that upon defivery of, and with respect to, each Mort�a�;e Loan:
(1) the Mortgage is a valid First lien on the property constituting the Home;
(2) there is in effect a mortgagee's policy of title insurance on the Home;
(3) the mortgagor is not then in default under the terms of the Mortgage Loan;
(4) the property has not been damaged, destroyed or condemned;
(5) 'I'he Home meets minimum health and safety code regulations established by the City or
suf'f'icient amounts have been deposited in escrow to assure the same;
(G) the Originator has no knowledge of any circumstances or conditions with respect to the
MorlgaKe, or the Home, or the mortKagor or his credit standing that could be reasonably expected
lo cause prudent private investors in Che secondary market to regard the Mortgage Loan as an
unacceptable investment, cause lhe Mortgage Lvan to become delinyuent, or adversely aff'ect the
valtie or marketability of the Mortgage Loan; and
(7) the Mortgage Loan meets all of the eligibility reyuirements set forth below Under the
caption "�I'he Mortgage Le>ans".
'1'he Yurchase Agreement states thaf, in the event Lhe Originator def'aults thereunder, or in the
event that any representation or warranty made by the Originator with respect to any Mortgage Loan
is found to be untrue in any material respect, the 'I'rustee is permitted to, among other things, tender
such Mortgage Loan to the Originator f'or repurchase or seek consequential damages. In addition, if the
nri�in�t��r has not committed Lo make, within fuur months f'r���m the date of'detivery of ti�e Bonds, at,
least 50'���ol'the principal am��unt of the Mortgage Loans required to be originated and delivered under
the Yurchase Agreement, the Program Administrator (with the consent of the City) may, at its
discrekion, reduce the remaininK principal amount of Mortga�e Loans to be delivered thereunder and
ui�y reallocate such remaining ob(igation to another Originator or Originators upon substantially
similar terms and conditions. Among other remedies retained by the City, the Trustee and the
1'roKram Administrator in case of a default under the provisions of' the Purchase Agreement, the
commitment by the original Originator may be assigned to another Originator in which case the time
periods relating to the commit,ment, closing and delivery of Mortgage Loans, as described above, for
the new Originator will be extended accordingly in most cases, and the commitment period (beginning
with the dale specified in the notice) will commence on the date of the assignment to such other
OriKinator.
'I'he Mortgage Loans wi11 be serviced by�12_financial institutions,�l l of'which are also Originators,
for a monthly fee of 1./12th of'3/S of 1`:0 of the then outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loans
so serviced. Further inf'ormation concerning servicing, including the principal amount of Mortgage
Loans expect.ed to be serviced by each Servicer, is included herein under the caption "The Originators
and Servicers" — "'I'he Servicers." In consideration of its responsibility to review each Mortgage Loan
to assure its eligibility For purchase, the Program Administrator will be paid an amount equal to 3/8ths
of 1';� oF the original principal amount of each such Mortgage Loan (from the Cost of Issuance Fund
estttblished under the Indenture); and for performing its ongoing duty of supervising compliance with
the Servicing Agreemments, the Program Administrator will be paid monthly an amount equal to
1/12th of 1/8th of the then outstanding principal amount of s�ch Mortgage Loans (� from the Revenne
Fund established under the Indenture).

THE CITY
The City is a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota organized and existing under and
pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota. Pursuant to Chapter 260, Laws of
Minnesota for 1975, and the Ordinance, the City is authorized to finance housing, acquire residential
mortgage loans and issue revenue bonds for such purposes.
The City is governed by Mayor Ueorge Latimer and a seven member City Council elected at large
each for Cerms of two years. �l'he City had a population of 310,U00, according to the 1970 census, and
presently has a population of approximately 278,000, according to the 1978 estimate by the
Metropolitan Couneil.
In 1976, the City of St. Yaul created a new city department entitled the Department of Planning
and Economic Development which includes the Divisions of Planning, Economic Development,
Community Development, and Renewal. The City has designated th�Renewal Division, to assist in
th�formulation, implementation, monitoring and/or review of the Program. The Renewal Division has
a staE'f o a�ppr z mately 83 persons, and is the administrative and policy formulating staff for all of the
City's housing programs.
'1'he llepartment of Planning and Economic Development will have the primary responsibility to
recomcnend to the Mayor and City Council the initial allocation of mortgage commitment(s) to the
10
Originators, and will recommend the 13uilder-Developer Commitments I'or the Redevelopment Areas.
Further, the Department wi monitor the mortgage lending activities of the Originators under the
Program as well providing ongoing general review of the Program.
The Rehabilitation Section of the Renewal Division (which presently has a staff'of 35 persons) will
assist, upon request, individual buyers or sellers of Homes that will be, or are planned to be,
substantially rehabilitated (and the purchase of which will be f'inanced under the Yrogram.)
The Department of Finance and Management Services, among its other functions, will submit
Officer Certificates, when appropriate, as required by the Indenture and will assist the Department of
Planning and Economic Development in monitoring and reviewing the Programs.
'I'he City has no experience in the origination and servicing of residential mortgage loans, except in
areas of grant and residential mortgage loan programs relating to the rehabilitation of existing housing
and in the redevelopment of economically depressed residential areas.
Pursuant to the Program Administration Agreement, the Yrogram Administrator is required to aid
and assist the City in implementing the Program. It is anticipated that the City will have no direct
respousibility with respect to the origination or servicing of the Mortgage Loans(except with respect to
the a(location or reallocation of MortgaKe Loan commit,ments to Originators and the ap�roval of'
Huilder-Developer Commitments in Redevelopment Areas) nor with respect Lo the collection, transi'er
of payment of' any monies in connection therewith. Under the terms of the Purchase and Servicing
Agreements the Trustee has a direct right of enforcement as a party thereto and the City is not liable to
the Trustee or the Bondholders for any action or inaction on the part of' the other parties to such
Agreements. The Ordinance provides that the Mayor of the City shall coordinate the Program with
other publicaily aided f'inancing programs administered by federal, state, regional or local agencies to
the end that the City may achieve the optimum benefit f'rom all such housing f'inance programs.
THE MORTGAGE LOANS
Gcneral: Sturcture of Portfolio
Each Mort.�;a�e (,,c�t�n will consist of' a note secured by a first lien (subject to cerLain permitted
encumbrances) on the real estate and fixtures const.ituting the Home located within the geographical
boundaries of the City. The maximum principal amount of each Mortgage Loan is limited as set forth
below under the caption "'Phe Mortgagors". The purchase price of a Home is not limited under the
Program. 'I'he adjusted annual income of the mortgagors is limited (except with respect to
Redevelopment Mortgage Loans) to $22,000 f'or existing single-family Homes and $27,500 for newly
constructed or substantially rehabilitated single-family Homes, as more f�ully described herein under
the caption "The Mortgagors".
'1'he Purchase Agreements and the Indenture provide that of the portfolio of Mortgage Loans to be
acyuired from the proceeds of the Bonds, at least 90��o must be made to finance single family Homes
(including townhouse or condominium units) and not more than 10�s� may be made for duplexes and
three and f'our-family dwellings. Each Mortgage Loan will be payable in substantially equal monthly
payments of principal and interest on the first day of each month, although the Mortgage Loan is not
considered delinquent if payment is made prior to the 15th day of the month. Each Mortgage Loan is
reyuired to be amortized over a period of 30 years unless FHA, VA, the PMI or the Originator requires a
(esser period due to the projected economic life of the Home.
Each Mortgage Loan is required to bear interest at a rate of %o, which is °io higher than the net
interest cost on the Bonds (which interest cost reflects underwritersidiscount but not other costs of
issuance of the Bonds). This rate was established considering debt service requirements with respect to
the Bonds, annual servicing fees of 3/8 of l�io of the outstanding principal balance on each Mortgage
Loan, the payment of premiums on the mortgage pool insurance policy and the special hazard
insurance policy, paying an annual administrative fee to the Program Administrator and the City,
each in an amount equal to 1/8th of 1°r'o of the then outstanding principal amount of Mortgage I.oans,
and the funding of the Accumulation Reserve Fund established under the Indenture over a number of
11
�
years (see the information herein under the captions "lnsurance — Mortgage Yool lnsurance Yolicy",
"Insurance — Special Hazard Insurance Policy" and "Security for the Bonds — Yrogram
Assumptio.ns").
Security for the Mortgage Loans
Each Mortgage I,oan will be an unconditional obligation of'the mortgagor, secured by a first lien
on the real est.at.e and fixtures constituting the Home (subject to certain permitted encumbrances).
'1'he mortgage interest c>f Che 'l'rustee in the Home is required to be insured by title insurance
evidencing that the Trustee's senior lien on the Home has been perfected. Under the Mortgage Loan,
each mortgagor will be obligated to escrow with the Servicer each month one-twelfth of' the yearly
mortgage and hazard insurance premiums and real estate taxes.
The Mortgagors
Except in the case of Redevelopment Mortgage Loans(which are described below), the mortgagors
will be persons of low and moderate income. This means, under present regulations adopted by the
City (and present reyuirements under the Purchase Agreements) that the maximum adjusted annual
income of the mortgagor's household, at the time application for the Mortgage Loan is made, cannot
exceed $22,000 for existing Homes and $27,500 for newly constructed or substantially rehabilitated
Homes. Adjusted annual income means gross annual income from all sources (and before taxes or
withholding) of afl members of the family living in the Home, but excluding certain allowable
amounts, including, but not limited to, $750 each for the f'irst and second adult resident of the Home
and $500 for each additional resident; $750 of income received by any adult resident other than the
primary wage earner; $750 for child care expenses; income from any resident (other than the primary
income recipient) who is under 18 years of age or a f'ull-time student; non-recurring income; and, any
amount paid for extraordinary medical expenses.
Utider the Yrogram, at the time the application f'or a Mortgage Loan is made, the applicant-
mortgagor must either (i) have been turned down, for reasons of aff'ordability, by a lending institution
for a mortgage loan in the same amount, or (ii) the monthly payment c�f'principal, interest, taxes and __
insurance (and condominium association f'ees, if'applicable) on the loan applied for at the then-current
convenlional interest rat,es (as determined by the Program Administrator from time to time) must
exceed 1/5th of� the applicant-mortgagor's adjusted monthly gross income.
Because this is the first residential home mortgage program of the City, it is not possible to predict
the average adjusted gross income of the mortgagors, the average purchase price of' a Home or the
percentage of Homes which will be two, three or four-family structures.
'I'he maximum principal amount of'a Mortgage Loan (except in cases of'Redevelopment Mortgage
l,oans, as described below) is (i) $50,000 in the case of an existing single-family Home (or$60,000 if the
Home is newly constructed or substantially rehabilit.ated), (ii) $72,000 in the case of a two-family
Hotne, (iii) $90,0O0 for a three-family Home, and (iv) $108,000 for a four-family home. 'I'here are no
restxictions on the purchase price of a Home. The mortgagor-owner must occupy at least one unit in a
rnult.i-unit Home as his or her primary residence and is permitted to rent or lease the other one, two or
ttuee units.
Special Provisions for Redevelopment Areas
Redevelopment Areas are those areas of the City where it has been determined that, given a
number of interrelatec�p�ysical, social and economic conditions, intervention by the City is considered
desireable to reverse such conditions. The City, through its Housing and Redevelopment Authority,
has been involved in extensive urban renewal and neighborhood development activities. The City has
, attempted to alleviate the ecanomically depressed conditions of certain areas through rehabilitation of
housing, and the installation of public improvements in, such areas. For the past fifteen years the City
has undertaken a f'inancial commitment to such activities. Such efforts appear to have achieved a
reversal of the depressed conditions in a number of neighborhoods. The City, pursuant to state
legislative authority, is currently involved in the marketing of development opportunities within such
Redevelopment Areas, rather than actively undertaking such redevelopment itself. This joint public
and private effort provides�a means ofAeffecting neighborhood redevelopment and rehabilitation.
12
�
Under the Program, certain Originators have requested, and the City expects to allocate, certain
sums (a "R,edevelopment Mortgage Loan Commitment") to be committed by the Originator to a
private builder-developer (a "Builder-Developer Commitment") to finance the purchase of newly
const.ruct.ed or substfintially rehabilitated�H� o� mes in such Ftedevelopment Areas. 'I'he Indenture
provides, however, that such Kedevelopment Mortgage Loan Commitments, in the aggregate, may not
exceed 20�'� of the Bond proceeds deposited in the Mortgage Loan Fund. Upon completion of such
construction or substantial rehabilitation by the builder-developer, the Originator will make
Redevelopment Mortgage Loans to mortgagors enabling such mortgagors to purchase such Homes.
Because the delivery and sale of Redevelopment Mortgage Loans furthers the eff'orts of the City to
redevelop and rehabilitate such Redevelopment Areas, the Program imposes no income limitations
upon mort�agors applying tbr Redevelopment Mortgage Loar�s, although the maximum mortgage
amount for a single-family dwelling unit purchased with a Redevelopment Mortgage Loan is $85,000,
and f'or two, three and f'our-unit dwellings is $102,000, $127,5(�, and $153,000, respectively.
In the event that an Originator has not secured a Builder-Developer Commitment within two
months from the commencement of the commitment period, the Originato�unless notified to the
contrary by the City, shall become obligated to deliver and sell to the City an amount equal to its
Redevelopment Mortgage Loan Commitment (less any amounts actually committed to builder-
developers) in additional "standard" Mortgage Loans; provided, however, that the City, at its option,
and wit.h the consent of the Originator, may reallocate such Buiider-Developer Commitment to
another Redevelopment Area, or may assign such Commitrnent to another Originator for use in the
same or another Redevelopment Area. To the extent that a builder-developer f'ails to complete the
construction or substantial rehabilitation and sale of Homes within the applicable time limits (as set
forth in the Purchase Agreement), the Originator is required to deliver and sell to the City additional
"standard" Mortgage Loans in an amount eyual to the amount of' such Builder-Developer
Commit�.men�but the time limits relating to�the commitment, closing and detivery of such"standard"
Mortgage I,oans (as described under the caption "�I'he Pro�ram"="Delivery of Mortgage Loans") will
co►nmence on the date of' def'auit by the�builder-developer. Accordingly, the purchase of Mortgage
Loans by the Cit.y may be delayed up to�months from the date of delivery of the Bonds. �
F:tigib(e and Qualified Mortgage Loans
Each Purchase Agreement sets f'orth the requirements f'or the Mortgage Loans, in order to make
such Mortgflge I,oans"yualified" thereunder, and each Originator and each Mortgage Loan is required
to comply with the provisions thereof'. 'I'he Indenture sets forth the criteria under which a Mortgage
Loan is "eligible" for purchase under the Program, which criteria includes some, but not all, of the
requirements for a "qualified" Mortgage Loan under the Purchase Agreements (see the information
herein under the caption "Summary of the Indenture — Eligible Mortgage Loans"). Under the
Program's delivery procedure, each Mortgage Loan must be delivered to the Program Administrator
for review prior to purchase by the City, together with documentation supporting the conclusion that
such Mortgage Loan conforms t.o the requirements of the Purchase Agreement. However, if the
Originator discloses, or the Program Administrator discovers, that the Mortgage Loan does not, in any
particular respect conf'orm to such requirements, such Mortgage Loan may nevertheless be purchased,
provided that the Program Administrator certifies to the Trustee that, to the best of its knowledge and
belief(i) the defect does not materially impair the underlying security for the Mortgage Loan, and (ii)
such Mortgage Loan remains "eligible" because it conforms to the requirements of the Indenture, as
set fbrth herein under the caption "Summary of the Indenture — Eligible Mortgage Loans".
Demand for Mortgage Loans
'I'h� Ramsey County Department of Property Taxation compiles statistics on the sales of
residential housing within the City of Saint Paul. These statistics are based upon certificates of value

197J (assuming a 10''�� inf7aLion factor) would have sold for approximately �45,000 in 1978. If the
demand for Mortgage Loans 1979 were consistent with the County's historical statistics for 1977 or
1978, as shown abcwe, and were limited to loans of$45,0(� or less, such demand f'or Mortgage Loans,
would be aE�proximately �77,510,8�8 and $46,211,075, respectively. Because of various factors, all
mortKagors of low and moderate income purchasing Homes for$50,000 or less in 1979 and 1980 will not
request Nlortgage Loans and, accordingly, the "demand" for such Mortgage Loans will probably not
equa( these respective amounts. Under the Yrogram, $41,710,000 is being reserved for the purchase of
the Mortgage Loans. The inf7ation percentage for Homes from 1977 to 1978 was approximately 16`�
according to the County's figures and 205�� according to the MLS figures set forth below.
'1'he Multiple Listing Service of the Greater Saint Paul Area Board of Realtors ("MLS") also has
co►npiled data on such sales. MLS is an association,the members of which are many (but not all) of the
real estate agents in the Saint Paul area. Because many individuals sell their homes themselves or
through agents which are not members of MLS, the MLS statistics do not ref7ect the total number of
sales within the City. 'I'he MI,S data shows the following:

'1'he total sales price f'or all houses, as shown in the three tables above, includes the purchaser's
eyuity and thus is higher than the total principal amount of mortgage loans made to finance the
purchase af such dwelling units.
As discussed above, the 21 Originators originated approximately $129,828,900 principal amount of
single-f'amily residEntial mort�age loans in the City during the year 1978, according to statistics
14
�
supptied by such Originators. A portion of such mortgage loans would not qualify under the Program as
described above (see the information herein under the caption "The Originators and Servicers").
The total amount of Bond proceeds reserved for the purchase of Mortgage Loans and subject to
commitments with the Originators under the Purchase Agreements is $41,710,000. To the extent not
expended for the purchase of Mortgage Loans, amounts so reserved may be used on April 1, 1980,
October 1, 1980 or April 1, 1981, and must be used on October 1, 1981, to redeem Bonds at par (see the
information herein under the caption "The Bonds — Redemption — Special Redemption — From
Undisbursed Proceeds"). For more information relating to the overall effect on the Program if
substantial amounts of Bond proceeds deposited in the Mortgage Loan Fund are not used to purchase
Mortgage Loans, see the information herein under the caption "Security for the Bonds — Program
Assumptions". The current lawful maximum conventional mortgage loan interest rate in Minnesota is
10-1/4�;� for the month of February (see the information regarding usury considerations under the
caption "The Program — Commitments to Originate Mortgage Loans") and the current maximum
FHA and VA mortgage loan interest rate is 9-1/2��0. Mortgage loans in Minnesota are presently being
made at or close to these rates (plus discount points).The Indenture requires that the Mortgage Loans
bear interest at a rate of `;�. To the extent that the interest rate on market rate mortgage loans
decreases or below-market interest rate mortgage loans are made available by other public bodies, it
could have an adverse effect on the demand for the Mortgage Loans.
Foreclosure Laws
Mortgage foreclosures in Minnesota are governed by statute and permit two alternative methods,
"by action" or "by advertisement". The latter is normally utilized since it is slightly faster, less
expensive and does not have the same tende:icy to invite contest as does foreclosure by action. The
process is normally initiated by the publication, recordation and service of'a notice of foreclosure. This
notice must. include all relevant inf'ormat.ion on the mortgage loan and the secured premises as well as a
statement of the time and place of sale and the time allowed by law for redemption by the mortgagor.
'I'his notice must then be published in a legal newspaper each week for six consecutive weeks. Service of'
the notice on the mortgagor and any other aff'ected party must be completed at least four weeks prior to —
the designated date of the foreclosure sale. Compliance with the above publication and service of notice
requirements within the prescribed time limitations is essential to the validity of the mortgage
foreclosure sale.
Prior to the f'oreclosure sale, the mortgagor has the right to reinstate the mortgage and prevent
f'oreclosure by curing all defaults on a current basis and by paying attorney's fees and out-of-pocket
disbursements to the extent permitted by statue. If the mortgage is not reinstated, the foreclosure sale
is held in the sherriff"s office in the county in which the real estate being foreclosed is located. Although
anyone can bid at a foreclosure sale, the normal result of the foreclosure sale is that the lender bids in
the debt without competing bidders (and under the Servicing Agreements, the Servicer is required to
do so), and purchases the mortgaged property from the defaulting borrower through the sheriff, subject
to the rights of the borrower and subsequent creditors to redeem.
The holding of such foreclosure sale starts the period of redemption running. The period of
redemption will normally be six months but can be as long as twelve months. During the period of
redemption, the mortgagor normally retains the right to remain in possession of the mortgaged
property without making mortgage payments or paying real estate taxes. During the period of
redemption, the mortgagor has the right to pay off the entire indebtedness, including full principal,
accrued interest, any amounts reasonably paid by the mortgagee to preserve the security, and
attorney's fees and disbursements to the extent allowed by statue.
After the period of redemption expires, the mortgagee is entitled to possession of the premises,but
may have to bring an unlawful detainer proceeding to enforce its possessory rights, and a proceeding
subsequent in the case of Torrens property to perfect its title to the mortgaged property.
It is not unusual, therefore, for a mortgagee to be delayed for up to 10 months from the date of
initiation of the mortgage foreclosure proceeding until it realizes its possessory rights.

-�
Prepayments Generally
The serial maturities and mandatory sinking fund installments for the Bonds have been
established generally on the basis of scheduled receipts of normal principal payments on the Mortgage
Loans and certain other revenues, and do not assume any prepayments on such Mortgage Loans (see
the information herein under the caption "Security for the Bonds — Program Assumptions"). The
Bonds are redeemable, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date at par plus accrued interest
f'rom, among other sources, prepayments of Mortgage Loans (see the information herein under the
caption "The Bonds — Redemption — Special Redemption — From Prepayments") and it is
anticipated that a substantial portion of the Bonds will be redeemed prior to their respective
maturities as a result of the prepayment of Mortgage Loans. Prepayments of Mortgage Loans may not
Ue used to make or purchase new Mortgage Loans and such prepayments are required to be deposited
directly into the Special Redemption Account and applied to the redemption of Bonds. The Program
provides that (i) each Mortgage Loan is assumable in case the Home is sold prior to final maturity
whether or not the purchaser of the Home is a person of low or moderate income, other than two, three
and four-family Homes which require that the person assuming the Mortgage Loan be of low or
moderate income, and(ii)each Mortgage Loan is prepayable at any time without premium or penalty.
Assuming no prepayments, one-half of the original principal amount of an 8-1/2°o thirty-year,
level payment mortgage loan will be paid in approximately 22-1/2 years from the date of origination of
the mortgage loan. However, a number of factcrs, including general economic conditions, mortgage
market interest rates and homeowner mobility, will affect the level of actual prepayments to be
ex��erienced with respect to the Mortgage Loans and, therefore, the average life of the Bonds.The rate
at which mortgage loans are prepaid fluctuates as a result of a number of factors, including interest
rates. Rising interest rates tend to discourage origination of new loans and prepayment of existing
loans and, in particular, existing loans at lower interest rates. 'I'his is, however, somewhat offset by a
high rate of inflation, which increases the purchase price of the dwelling and therefore increases the
down payment (or other means of financing) required of the purchaser if the mortgage loan is to be
assumed. The difficulty in predicting prepayments of the Mortgage Loans is increased because they
may f'rom time to time be at interest rates below then existing market rates and will be fully _
assumable.
The FHA has published projections based on its nationwide experience during the period from
1957 through 1976 relating to single-f'amily mortgage loans insured under Section 203(b) of the
National Housing Act at various interest rates with original maturities of 30 years. Such mortgage
loans are not limited to mortgagors of low and moderate income, nor is the purchase price of the
residential units limited as provided in the Program. Such projections indicate that, while some of such
mortgage loans remain outstanding until scheduled maturity, a pool of such 30-year single-family
mortgages is likely to have an average life of approximately 14-1/2 years. The FHA has compiled
similar statistics for Minnesota(but not solely for the City of Saint Paul) for the same period.The FHA
projections based on this Minnesota experience indicate that the average life of such a pool of Section
203(b) insured loans in Minnesota is likely to be approximately 13.9 years. Assuming that all of the
Mortgage Loans would have been originated concurrently, the aggregate remaining principal balances
of the Mortgage Loans at the end of the 12th year following origination would be: (i) approximately
86`'0 of the original aggregate principal balances if no prepayments are made, (ii) approximately 58°�o if
the actual prepayment experience parallels the FHA national prepayment projections, and (iii)
approximately 55°� if the actual prepayment experience parallels the FHA Minnesota prepayment
projections.
However, because of, among other factors, the increased mobility of homeowners, the prepayment
experience has tended to be more rapid in recent years than the FHA experience would indicate. For
instance, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency has, since 1974, operated a single-family mortgage
purchase program similar to the Program, but having a somewhat lower maximum income eligibility
and not limited to the City. In the first three years of its program, the Minnesota Housing Finance
Agency has�experienced prepayments of mortgage loans at a rate approximately 225°io times more
rapid than the rate projected by FHA on the basis of figures from 1957 to 2973.
16
._ �. '
�
In addition, a recent manual published by the GNMA Mortgage Backed Securities Dealers
Association states that, although the oldest GNMA mortgage pools have existed for only 7 years and
are not limited as to sales price or income restrictions,some of them are prepaying at a rate in excess of
300�'� of FHA experience. Another recent study indicates that prepayment experience under
participation certificates issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC")
secpred by pools of conventional mortgage loans outstanding 4 years or more has been approximately
200�'� of the FHA prepayment rate. In the offering of its Guaranteed Mortgage Certificates, FHMLC
guarantees to the holders that a certain percentage of the principal of'such Certificates will be paid in
each year, regardless of whether the pool of 30-year conventional mortgages which forms the security
for such Certif'icates pays and prepays as rapidly as that assumed in establishing the principal
repayments on the Certificates. The principal repayment schedule for a recent f'inancing guarantees
that the maximum average weighted life of the Certificates will be not more than 8.6 years.
As more fully explained herein under the caption "Security f'or the Bonds — Program
Assumptions", based upon the assumptions outlined therein, the Revenues of the Program are
expected to exceed debt service on the Bonds, together with other required deposits, if the average life
of the Mortgage Loans is not less than six years, which is the case if'prepayments do not exceed 3�20`%��of
t he FHA Minnesota experience and �133g°� of the FHA national experience described above.
llelinquency and Foreclosure Experience '
According to the innesota Housing Finance Agency, as of December 31, 1978, approximately
3.3`'� of' the mortgage loans purchased by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency and then
outstanding under their single family program which commenced in 1974 were over 60 days delinyuent,
1.8�'� of the mortgage loans purchased under the singte family program which commenced in 1977 were
over 60 days deliquent and 0.3�'� of the mortgage loans purchased under the single family program
which commenced in 1978 were over 60 days delinquent. In addition as of December 31, 1978, 171oans
representin� approximately 0.42`'� of' the principal amount of the mortgage loans initially purchased
under the former program had been f'oreclosed or were then in the rocess of'f'oreclosure. As stated
ear ier, t e mortgage loans purchased y t e Minnesota Housing Finance Agency are secured by
residential housing units throughout the State of Minnesota and are not limited to the City. In
addition, under the current Minnesota Housing Finance Agency programs, the adjusted gross annual
income of the mortgagor may not exceed �16,000 and the purchase price f'or a single-family dwelling
w�it ►nay not exceed $37,500 (while the limitations for the City's Program exceed those �gures).
The same FHA tables ref'erred to above under the caption"Prepayments Generally"project that,
on the basis of the national experience from 1957 through 1977, the percentage of mortgage loans in
such a pool likely to give rise to mortgage insurance claims over the thirty-year life of the mortgage
loans is approximately 7.14`:�:; on the basis of the FHA Minnesota experience during the same period,
the projected ultimate mortgage insurance claim rate is approximately 3.0%.
SECURITY FOR THE BONDS
Limited Obligations
The Bonc�s are special obligations of the City paya6le solely frorra the Reuenues described below,
are not a general or rrcoral o6ligation of the City and do not constitute a charge against the general
credit or taxing power o�the City, the Courety of Ramsey or the State of Minnesota. Neither the City,
the County nor the State o/'Minnesota or any political subdiuision thereof shall 6e liable on the Borcds,
and the Borcds are not a de6t o�the City, the County or the State or any political subdivision thereof.
Mortgage Reserve Fund
The Indenture establishes a Mortgage Reserve Fund and a Requirement therefor which is to be
funded from Bond proceeds. The Mortgage Reserve R.equirement, as of any particular date of
computation, is an amount equal to one percent (1°�0) of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loans
then outstarrding. Revenues (other than the payments and prepayments of Mortgage Loans), to the
extent available and needed to restore it to its Requirement, are deposited to the credit of the Mortgage
17
�
Reserve Fund after payment of the Program Administrator's and Trustee's fees, current debt service on
the Bonds and restoring the Debt Service Reserve Fund to its Requirement, if necessary. Accordingly,
to the extent that the Mortgage Reserve Fund does not maintain its Requirement, it is not a default
under the Indenture.
Amounts on deposit in the Mortgage Reserve Fund will be used, if necessary, to (i) pay debt
service on the Bonds to the extent amounts are not available in the Bond Fund, and not otherwise
available in the Accumulation Reserve Fund (see the information herein under the caption "Security
f'or the Bonds — Flow of Funds"), (ii) transfer to the Bond Fund the cumulative amount not otherwise
paid on Mortgage Loans in default to the extent amounts on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve
Fund are not suff'icient to do so, and (iii) pay maintenance, preservation and foreclosure expenses
attributable to a Home subject to a Mortgage Loan in default (and not otherwise available in the
Accumulation Reserve Fund).
Debt Service Reserve Fund
The Indenture establishes a Debt Service Reserve Fund and a Requirement therefor which will be
f'unded from Bond proceeds at the time of issuance of the Bonds. The Debt Service R.eserve Fund
Requirement is $6,000,000*. The Debt Service Reserve Requirement therefore remains constant
Chrough the life of the Bonds; the Bonds assumed to have been issued for the purpose of funding the
Debt Service Reserve Fund are scheduled to mature in the year 2011, and are assumed to be paid from
amounts then on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund; and it is anticipated that amounts on
deposit in the Debt Service R.eserve Fund will be invested at rates at least equal to the net interest rate
on the Bonds (see the information herein under the caption "Security for the Bonds — Program
Assumptions").
Amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund may only be used to pay principal and
interest on the Bonds to the extent a de�ciency exists in the Bond Fund on any principal or interest
payment date (and only if such def'iciency cannot be restored f'rom other Funds and Accounts,
including the Mortgage Reserve Fund, as set forth below under the caption "Security for the Bonds —
Def'iciencies in the Bond Fund"). To the extent that the Debt Service Reserve Fund is ever below its –
Reyuirement, the def'iciency is to be restored from the next available Revenues of'the Program (after
payment of then current debt service on the Bonds and payment of Program Administrator's and
Trustee's fees).
Accumulation Reserve Fund
The Indenture establishes an Accumulation Reserve Fund and a Requirement therefor. The
Reyuirement is$300,000*, and is to be funded from Revenues of the Program (after paying current debt
service on the Bonds and payment of the Program Administrator's and Trustee's fees, restoring the
Uebt Service Reserve and Mortgage R,eserve Funds to their respective Requirements, if necessary, and
paying to the City an annual administrative fee equal to��1/8th of l�o of the then outstanding principal
amount of Mortgage Loans). Accordingly, during the period of accumulation and thereafter, to the
extent the Accumulation Reserve Fund does not maintain its Requirement, it is not a default under the
Indenture. In addition all excess Revenues of the Program (following {i) the deposit to all other Funds
and Accounts/�a�nd,(ii) the redemption of Bonds until the Asset�T�est (as hereinafter defined) is me�t are
tc� be deposited to the Accumulation Reserve Fund, even to the extent that said Fund exceeds its
Reyuirement, subject to the right of the City to withdraw such amounts(in excess of$300,000*) for the
purpose of' paying any out-of'-pocket expenses incident to the Program (which excludes internal
administrative costs) or redeeming any Bonds (then subject to optional redemption), and the further
riKht of the City to withdraw any amounts for any purpose authorized by the Act once the total amount
on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve, Mortgage Reserve and Accumulation Reserve Funds are at .
least eyual to�5.T0T�'b of all then Outstanding Bonds. Amounts on deposit in the Accumulation Reserve
Fund are available to pay debt service on the Bonds and to pay maintenance, foreclosure and
preservation expenses attributable to a Home subject to a Mortgage Loan in default.
*Estimated; �mounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.
' 18
. �
Flow of Funds
1'he Indenture provides for an essentially "closed-end" Program; that is, the Revenues of the
Program are generally trapped in the flow-of-funds circuit held by the Trustee to the extent necessary
and available to pay current debt service, to accumulate or restore the various Funds and Accounts to
their respective Requirements, to pay the premiums on the mortgage pool insurance policy and the
special hazard insurance policy, to pay the Program Administrator and the City each an annual
administrative fee eyUal to 1/8 of 1�'� of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding
and redeeming Bonds until the Asset Requirement (as def'ined below) is met. Only after this is
accomplished and certain other conditions are met will monies flow out of the circuit (as described
above under the sub-caption"Accumulation Reserve Fund"). Amounts drawn out of the circuit by the
City are not pledged to, nor form any security for, the payments of principal of or interest on the Bonds.
Prepayments of Mortgage Loans (including amounts attributable to the principal of a defaulted
Mortgage I,oan or the disposition of'a Home subject to a defaulted Mortgage Loan, af'ter payment of
relaled costs) are deposited directly into the Special Redmption Account and used to redeem bonds
(see the information herein under the caption "The Bonds — Redemption — Special Redemption —
From Prepayments"). Payments of scheduled principal of the Mortgage Loans are deposited directly
into the Principal Account and, together with amounts deposited therein as described in clause (ii)
below, are to be used to pay the scheduled principal of the Bonds, through serial maturities and
mandatory sinking fund installments.
All other Revenues (including interest payments on Mortgage Loans and investment income on
amounts on deposit in various Funds and Accounts) are required to be deposited in the Revenue Fund.
Amounts on deposit in the Revenue Fund will be used monthly to pay the 1/8 of l��o annual fee of the
Program Administrator, the f'ees of the Trustee and the monthly premiums on the mortgage pool
insurance policy and special hazard insurance policy. Semiannually, on or prior to each interest.
payment date, amounts on deposit in the Revenue Fund are to be withdrawn and applied, to the extent
available, as follows:
(i) to the Interest Account, an amount equal to the interest to be paid on the Bonds on their _
next interest payment date (April 1 or October 1);
(ii) to the Yrincipal Account or Sinking Fund Account, whichever is applicable, an amount
equal to one-half of the principal and sinking fund installments to be paid on the Bonds on their
next. principal installment date (April 1), less any amount already on deposit in the Principal
Account, as described above;
(iii) to the Debt Service Reserve Fund, any amount required to restore such Fund to its
Requirement ($6,000,000*),
(iv) to the Mortgage Reserve Fund, any amount required to restore such Fund to its
Requirement (1`�0 of the principal amount of Mortgage Loans then outstanding);
(v) except to the extent set forth below, to the City, an amount equal annually to�1/8�th of 1<<�
c�f' the principal amount of Mortgage Loans outstanding three months prior to such� date;
(vi) to the Accumulation Reserve Fund, unless and until the amount on deposit therein is at
least equal to its Requirement ($300,000*);
(vii) to the Special Redemption Account (to be used to redeem Bonds) until and unless the
unpaid principal amount of' all Mortgage Loans, together with amounts on deposit in all Funds
and Accounts (other than the Revenue Fund, the Interest Account, the Capitalized Interest Fund
and the Accumulation Reserve Fund) is at least equal to the then outstanding principal amount of
�Bonds�and thereafter,
(v� i� to the Accumulation Reserve Fund.
*Estimated; amounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.
19
�
� The Indentur�provides that the�1_/�8_t�h of 140 of the principal amount of Mortgage Loans to be paid
�o the City pursua►3t to clause (v) a� will e re uce i an to t e extent necessary to pay any
subsequent Program Administrator (should Banco Mortgage Company default under the Program
Administration Agreement) an annual fee (other than f'or the origination of Mortgage Loans) in excess
of 1/8th of 1°io of the then unpaid principal amount of Mortgage Loans, after taking into account
available monies in the Accumulation Reserve Fund in excess of its Requirement.
Deficiencies in the Bond Fund
In case amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund are insuf'f'icient to pay debt service on the Bonds on
any interest or principal payment date, the Trustee is required to withdraw amounts then on deposit in
the Accumulation Reserve Fund, the Mortga�e Reserve Fund, the Optional Redemption Account, the
Special Itedemption Account or the Debt Service Reserve Fund (in the order listed and to the extent
not available f'rom the previously mentioned Fund or Account) and deposit such amounts in the Bond
Fund.
Program Assumptions
The serial maturities and mandatory sinking fund installments of the Bonds have been
esiablished on the basis of the following facts and assumptions:
(i) the purchase by the Authority of$41,710,000* aggregate principal amount of'30-year sell'-
amortizing Mortgage Loans, with equal monthly payments of' principal and interest over their
term, such purchases assumed to be made in various principal amounts during the 13 month
period from June 1, 1979, through July 1, 1980;
(ii) the Mortgage Loans will bear interest at a rate approximately 1`,'��� above the net interest
rate on the Bonds; will be purchased at a price eyual to 101�;� of their original principal amount;
and the 1�'� Commitment Fees paid by the Originators will be deposited in the Mortgage Loan
Fund and applied, together with Bond proceeds deposited therein to purchase the Mortgage
Loans;
(iii) the maturit,ies and sinking fund installments of the �3onds assumed to have been issued
for the purpose of purchasing Mortgage Loans have been established on the basis of scheduled
payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans (assuming no prepayments), resulting in
substantially "level debt service" payments on such Bonds;
(iv) the Bonds assumed to have been issued f'or the purpose of providing f'unds to pay costs of'
issuance, underwriters' discount and capitalized interest and to fund the Mortgage Reserve Fund
(totaling $2,290,000*) are scheduled to mature on the same"level debt service" basis as the Bonds
referred to in clause (iii) above, and it has been assumed that the debt service on such Bonds will
be paid from the interest rate differential between the Bonds and the Mortgage Loans and from
the investment income on the various Funds and Accounts established under the Indenture,
except that the principal of the Bonds assumed to have been issued to f'und the Mortgage Reserve
Fund are assumed to be paid from the amounts by which the Mortgage Reserve Fund Requirement
is reduced as a result of' the payment and prepayment of principal on the Mortgage Loans;
(v) the Bonds assumed to have been issued for the purpose of f'unding the Debt Service
Reserve Fund ($6,000,000*) have been scheduled to mature on April l, 2011, and that amounts on
deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund at that time will be sufficient to pay such Bonds;
(vi) the YroKram Administrator and the City each will be paid an annual administrative f'ee
equal to 1/8 of 1`��� of' the principal amount of Mortgage Loans outstanding from time to time;
(vii) revenues of the Program will fund the Accumulation Reserve Fund to its Requirement
(eyual to $300,000*), which are assumed to be used during the period of accumulation and
t hereaft-er to E�ay mortga�e fvreclosure costs and si►nilar expenses in an annual amount assurtied lo
be 1/lOth of 1','<<of the original principal amount of Mortgage Loans terminating in each year, and,
*Estimated; amounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.
20
, E
accordingly, amounts eyual to the declining Mortgage Keserve H,equirement are assumed to
remain on deposit in the Mortgage Reserve Fund;
(viii) losses of principal and interest resulting from any def'ault on the Mortgage Loans,
exceedin� the amount of insurance and resale recoveries, are assumed not to exceed the amount
referred to in clause (vii);
(ix) the Trustee will pay aggregate annual premiums equal to .153<< of'the principal amount
of'Mortgage Loans outstanding from time to time for mortgage pool insurance and special hazard
insurance (see the information herein under the captions "Insurance — Mortgage Yool Insurance
Yolicy" and "Insurance — 5pecial Hazard Insurance Policy");
(x) amounts on deposit in the Mortgage Loan Fund are assumed to be invested at a rate of
10�'� until disbursed to purchase Mortgage Loans as set forth in clause (i) above; amounts
constituting capitalized interest are assumed to be invested, at a rate of 10"�, until such time as
they are assumed to be used or transferred; amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund
($6,000,000*) are assumed to be invested at a rate of 8-1/2`'��until April 1, 2011;amounts on deposit
in the Mort�age Reserve Fund are assumed to be invested at a rate of 6-1/2�%� to the various dates
on which its Requirement will be reduced; amounts on deposit in the Accumulation H,eserve Fund
are assumed to be invested at a rat;e of'6-1/2`'�� unless and until disbursed as assumed in clause(vii)
above; amounts colistituting the payment and prepayment ot' principal and interest on the
Mortgage Loans are assumed to be invested on the 15th day of' each month f'ollowing assumed
receipl, at a rate o(':"i`��� w�til applied semi-annut�lly to t.he princi��al ��r reclemption ��I', and interest
un, Che 13onds; and it. is assumed that all amounts in the Accumulation I�eserve �'und in excess oE'
$300,000 are to be withdrawn by the City and not available f'or the Program; and
(xi) excesses of assumed Nevenues over assumed debt service on the Bonds in each year
(constitutin� primarily the interest diff'erential between the Mortgage I.oans and investments and �
lhe 13onds as described above) will be used in such year I'irst to pay the Program Administrator,
the City and the '1'rustee their respective fees and to make the contemplated t.ransfer to the
Accumulation Reserve Fund, as described in clause (vii) above, and then to redeem Bonds until
such �i►ne as the unpaid principal amount of Mortgage Loans then outstanding, plus all amounts
then on deposit in the Principal Account, Sinking Fund Account, Debt Service Reserve Fund,
Mortgage Reserve Futtd, Mort�age Loan Fund and Redemption Fund, is at least equal to the
pri�lcipal amounts of k3onds then outsl,anding (the "Asset '['est").
On the basis of the above assumptions, even if, due to rapid prepayment of Mortgage Loans, the
average life of the portfolio of Mortgage Loans is as short as six years (equal to,��320�i� of the Minnesota
FHA prepayment experience and 338�'� of the FHA national prepayment experience — see the
inf'ormation herein under the eapt�on "The Mortgage Loans — Prepayments Generally"), the
anticipated Revenues available for debt service will exceed anticipated debt service on the Bonds in
each year; the Accumulation Reserve Fund will be funded to its full R,equirement by of ; and
the Asset Test (as described above) will be satisfied by of . The purpose of the Asset Test is to
determine at what time all of the "assets" of the Program (being the unpaid principal amount of
Mortgage Loans then outstanding plus amounts on deposit in the Principal Account, Sinking Fund
Account, Debt Service Reserve Fund, Mortgage Reserve Fund, Mortgage Loan Fund and Redemption
Fund) will be eyual to the principal amount of all Bonds then outstanding.The Asset Test, theref'ore, is
not indicative of the price at which the "assets" of the Yrogram may be sold on the open market. he
time at which the Asset Test is met is a function of the various projections assumed in the Program�ut
varies particularly dependin� upon the assumed prepayment rate and, therefore, the assumed average
tif'e of the Mortgage Loans. The more rapid the prepayment assumption, the longer it takes to meet the
Asset 'I'est. Until the Asset 'I'est has been met, the Bondholders assume the risk that if the Mortgage
Loans prepay in excess ofi320"i�� of the Minnesota FHA prepayment experience and_338°io of the
national FHA prepayment experience, resulting in an average life of less than six years, there may be
insufficient I'unds available to pay all of the Bonds and interest thereon.
*EsCimaLed; amounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.
21
To the extent that the Bond proceeds deposited in the Mortgage Loan Fund are not used to
purchase Mortgage Loans (as described herein under the caption"The Mortgage Loans"), the effect on
the Asset Test is the same as if the same amount of Mortgage Loans were purchased and then
immediately prepaid, which would reduce the average life of the Mortgage Loan portfolio and increase
the risk to the Bondholders.The importance of the average life of the Mortgage Loans is that, to a great
extent, the approximately 1°�o interest rate differential between the Mortgage Loans and the Bonds is
assumed to be used to pay debt service on that amount of Bonds the proceeds of which are to be used to
�ay costs of issuance, underwriters' discount and capitalized interest ($1,872,900*). To the extent not
so invested in Mortgage Loans or invested in Mortgage Loans prepaid at an early date (and used to
redeem Bonds), the percentage difference between the "assets" of the Program and the principal
amount of outstanding Bonds becomes greater and the interest rate differential between the
unanticipated smaller portfolio of Mortgage Loans and the Bonds may be insufficient to pay debt
service on the Bonds.
Among other reasons for the non-delivery of Mortgage Loans may be (i) the decrease in the total
arnount of housing units sold in the City in 1979 and 1980,or in the number of housing units sold within
the restrictions outlined earlier (see the information herein under the caption "The Mortgage Loans—
Demand f'or Mortgage Loans"); (ii) the inability of a particular Originator to fulfill its obligation to
originate Mortgage Loans under the Purchase Agreement (see the information herein under the
captions "The Program — Commitments to Originate Mortgage Loans" and "The Originators and
Servicers"); (iii) a decline in the interest rates for conventional mortgages to such an extent that they
are substantially the same as, or lower than, the interest rate required for the Mortgage Loans; or (iv)
the availability of below-market interest rate mortgages from other public bodies, including the
Minnesota Housinh Finance Agency.
Accordingly, the payment of debt service on the Bonds will be jeopardized if, among other things,
(1) the assumptions set forth in clauses (i) through (xi) above are not realized, or (2) the prepayments
(including foreclosures) of the Mortgage Loans are such that the average life of the portfolio of such
Mortgage Loans is reduced to less than six years (see the information herein under the caption "The
Mortgage Loans — Prepayments Generally"}, or (3) a substantial portion of the amount deposited in —
t.he Mortgage Loan Fund ($41,710,000*) is not used to purchase Mortgage Loans (see the information
herein under the caption "The Mortgage Loans — Demand for Mortgage Loans").
THE BONDS
Interest; Maturity; Place of Payment
The Bonds will be dated April 1, 1979 and will bear interest from that date, payable on April 1 and
October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 1979,until maturity or prior redemption.The Bonds
will mature on April 1 in the years and amounts, and bear interest at the rates per annum, set forth on
the cover page of this Of'ficial Statement, and will be subject to prior redemption as hereinafter stated
(see the inf'ormation herein under the caption "The Bonds — Redemption").
'I'he principal of, premium, if any, and interest on coupon Bonds not registered as to principal will
be payable at the principal corporate trust off'ice of , Saint Paul,
Minnesota, or its successor, or, at the option of the holder, at the principal corporate trust office of
, New York, New York, or its successor, as Paying Agents. The principal of
f'ully registered Bonds or Bonds registered as to principal only will be payable at the principal corporate
trust office of , Saint Paul, Minnesota, or its successor as
�I'rustee, and the interest on fully registered Bonds will be payable by check or draft mailed to the order
of the owner of such Bond by the Trustee at his last address as shown on the registration books
rnaintained by the Trustee.
*Estimated; amounts to be determined upon the sale of the Bonds.
22
Form of Bonds; Registration; Replacement
The Bonds may be issued as Bonds in coupon f'orm, registrable as to principal only, in the
denomination of$5,000 or as fully registered Bonds without coupons in denominations of$5,000, or an
integral multiple of $5,000.
The Bonds may be registered, transferred or exchanged, upon presentation or surrender, as the
case may be, at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee upon payment of a charge sufficient
to reimburse the City or the Trustee for any tax, fee or other governmental charges imposed in
connection therewith as provided by the Indenture.
No Additional Bonds
Additional bonds are not permitted to be issued under the Indenture. The City covenants in the
Indenture that it will not create or permit the creation of or issue any obligations or create any
additional indebtedness which will be secured by a charge or lien on the Revenues or will be payable
from any of the Funds or Accounts established by or pursuant to the Indenture. The City may,
however, issue other obligations under other programs (some of which may be substantially similar to
the Program), but such obligations will not be secured by the Mortgage Loans or Revenues of the
Program and will not be security for or on a parity with the Bonds.
Redemption
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as follows:
Mandatory Sirzking Fund Redemptiorc. The Bonds maturing on April 1, 2011 (the"Term Bonds")
are subject to mandatory redemption in part by lot on April 1, 2001, and on each April 1 thereafter from
amounts on deposit in the Sinking Fund Account in the principal amounts set forth below at a
redemption price equal to their principal amount plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption
and without premium:
April 1 April 1

2005 2,615,000 2011 (final maturity) 6,000,000
2006 2,840,000
Amounts of annual installments shown on the table above (other than the final installment to be
paid on April 1, 2011) are subject to reduction as a result of Term Bonds redeemed through the Special
Redemption Account as provided below under the sub-caption "Special Redemption". 'Po the extent
that Term Bonds have been previously called for redemption in part from the Special Redemption
Account, each such installment (other than the final installment to be paid an April l, 2011) shall be
reduced by the amount obtained by multiplying the principal amount of such Bonds so called for
redemption by the ratio which each such Sinking Fund Installment bears to the total aggregate
installments remaining unpaid (less an amount equal to the final installment to be paid on April 1,
2011) and by rounding each such reduction to the nearest $5,000 multiple.
Uptional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on and after April 1, 1990, are subject to redemption
prior to maturity from the Optional Redemption Account, at the option of the City, in whole or in part
on any interest payment date on or after April 1, 1989, in inverse order of maturity and by lot within a
maturity, at the redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) indicated

Pursuant to the Indenture, upon determination by the Trustee that available sums on hand with
the Trustee in all Funds and Accounts established by the Indenture are sufficient to redeem all of the
outstanding Bonds(and such Bonds are then subject to redemption), the Trustee is required to transfer
such available sums to the Optional R.edemption Account and shall redeem all outstanding Bonds on
the next interest payment date at the applicable redemption price set forth above.
Special Redemption.:
(A) From Un.disbursed 1'roceed.s. The Bonds are subject to redemption at the option of the City
on April 1, 1980, October 1, 1980, and April 1, 1981, and are subject to mandatory redemption on
October 1, 1981, at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption
and without premium, in amounts not exceeding the amount of Bond proceeds and Commitment Fees
on deposit in the Mortgage Loan Fund which have not been committed to purchase Mortgage Loans 45
days prior to each such redemption date and transferred to the Special Redemption Account.
(B) From Prepayments. The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption from the Special
Redemption Account on any interest payment date at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued —
interest to the date fixed for redemption and without premium, in amounts not exceeding the amounts
received from time to time by the Trustee and deposited in the Special Redemption Account
constituting prepayments of principal of Mortgage Loans, the proceeds of sale of Mortgage Loans or
Revenues relating to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, af'ter payment of related costs.
(C) From Other Sources. The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption from the Special
Redemption Account on any interest payment date at the principal amount thereof, plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption and without premium, in an amount not exceeding the total
amount of Revenues deposited in the Special Redemption Account, until the total amount of unpaid
principal on the Mortgage Loans, together with amounts on deposit in all Funds and Accounts
established by the Indenture (other than the R,evenue Fund, the Interest Account, the Capitalized
Interest Fund and the Accumulation Reserve Fund), is equal to the principal amount of Bonds then
outstanding, as more fully described herein under clause (vii) of the caption"Security for the Bonds—
Flow• of Funds".
The`redemption of Bonds from the Special Redemption Account as set forth in clauses(B) and(C)
above is qualified to the extent that if all or part of such amounts (constituting prepayments of
Mortgage Loans or other Revenues until the Asset Test is met) which would otherwise be applied to the
redemption of Bonds on such interest payment date may be invested in permitted Investments at a
yield exceeding the yield on the Bonds and maturing before the next interest payment date, such
amounts shall be so invested until such next interest payment date, but for no longer period, and then
vsed to redeem Bonds.
If less than all the Bonds are to be redeemed pursuant to the Special R,edemption Account, such
Bonds shall be selected and redeemed on a reasonably proportionate basis from among all the then
existing maturities of the Bonds (excluding, however, the principal installment due on Term Bonds in
the year 2011), and by lot within such maturity, such basis to be determined and effectuated as nearly
24
ti
as practicable by the Trustee by multiplying the total amount of moneys available to redeem Bonds on
the dnte�xed for redemption by the ratio which the principal amount of all Bonds outstanding in each
maturity (except, with respect to the final maturity, an amount equal to the Debt Service R,eserve
Reyuirement is to be subtracted) bears to the principal amount of all Bonds then outstanding (less an
amount equal to the Debt Service Reserve Requirement), provided that Bonds shall be redeemed only
in integral multiples oF $5,0(�.
The purpose of establishing the redemption of the Bonds from the Special Redemption Account in
the manner set forth above (together with the credits to the required Sinking Fund Installments as set
forth above) is to assure that the remaining maturities and Sinking Fund Installments on the Bonds
(issued for the purpose of financing the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and remaining outstanding
after such redemption) corresponds to the scheduled payment of principal of the Mortgage Loans
remaining outstanding.
Notice and Manner oj Redemption. After selection of the Bonds to be redeemed, the Trustee is
required to give notice, of the redemption of the Bonds, which notice is to specify the redemption date
and the place or places where amounts due upon such redemption will be payable and, if less than all of
the Bonds are to be redeemed, the letters and numbers or other distinguishing marks of such Bonds so
to be redeemed, and, in the case of a fully registered bond to be redeemed in part only,such notice shall
also specify the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
Notice of the redemption of Bonds is required to be published at least once not less than 25 days
prior to the scheduled redemption date in financial newspapers printed in the English language, one of
which is circulated in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area and the other in the Borough of
Manhattan, City and State of New York. The Trustee is also required to mail a copy of such notice,
postage prepaid, not less than 20 days before such redemption date, to the registered owner of any
Bond all or a portion of which is to be redeemed, at such owner's last address, if any, appearing upon
the registry books, but failure so to mail any such notice will not be a condition precedent to or affect
the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of Bonds.

1NSUKANCE
Mortgage Loans acquired f'rom I3ond proceeds may be insured by FHA, guaranteed by VA, insured
by PMI or uninsured under certain circumstances. Uninsured conventional Mortgage Loans are
required to have an ori�inal principal balance not in excess of 75`�0 of(i) the purchase price paid by the
Mortgagor, �r (ii) the appraised value of the Home, whichever is less.
'1'he fo(lowing description of certain mortgage insurance programs is only a brief'outline and does
not purport to summarize or describe all of the provisions of these programs. For a more complete
description of the terms of these programs, reference is made to the provisions of the insurance and
guaranty contract.s embodied in the regulations of FHA and VA, respectively, and of the regulations,
master insurance contracts and other such information of the various Private Mortgage Insurers.
Morfgage Loans purchased under the Program are not limited by the Indenture to the f'ollowing
programs, and it. is possible that insurance benef'its under other Federal or private programs relating to
the Mortga�e I.oans could have diff'erent terms.
Federal Housing Administration Single Family Mortgage Insurance Programs
The National HousinK Act of 1934, as amended, authorizes a wide variety of FHA mortgage
insurance programs, which differ in some respects depending primarily upon whether the mortgaged
premises contain five or more dwelling units or less than five such units and whether the premises are
designed for occupancy by low and moderate income families. The FHA imposes loan-to-value ratio
limitations and other requirements on all single family mortgage loans it insures. Under the Section
'l03(b) program, which is the most widely used FHA insurance program, FHA insures mortgage loans of
up tu 35 years duration fbr the purchase of one-to-four family dwelling units. Loans insured under the
Section 203(b) program must bear interest at a rate not exceeding the maximum rate established by

INSURANCE
Mortgage Loans acquired from Bond proceeds may be insured by FHA,guaranteed by VA, insured
by PMI or uninsured under certain circumstances. Uninsured conventional Mortgage Loans are
required to have an original principal balance not in excess of 75%of(i) the purchase price paid by the
Mortgagor, or (ii) the appraised value of the Home, whichever is less.
The following description of'certain mortgage insurance programs is only a brief outline and does
not purport to summarize or describe all of the provisions of these programs. For a more complete
description of the terms of these programs, reference is made to the provisions of the insurance and
guaranty contracts embodied in the regulations of FHA and VA, respectively, and of'the regulations,
master insurance contracts and other such information of the various Private Mortgage Insurers.
Mortgage Loans purchased under the Program are not limited by the Indenture to the following
programs, and it is possible that insurance bene�ts under other Federal or private programs relating to
the Mortgage Loans could have different terms.
Federal Housing Administration Single Family Mortgage Inaurance Programs
The National Housing Act of 1934, as amended, authorizes a wide variety of FHA mortgage
insurance programs, which differ in some respects depending primarily upon whether the mortgaged
premises contain �ve or more dwelling units or less than five such units and whether the premises are
designed for occupancy by low and moderate income families. The FHA imposes loan-to-value ratio
limitations and other requirements on all single family mortgage loans it insures. Under the Section
203(b) program,which is the most widely used FHA insurance program, FHA insures mortgage loans of
up to 35 years duration for the purchase of one-to-four family dwelling units. Loans insured under the
Section 203(b) program must bear interest at a rate not exceeding the maximum rate established by
the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") which is in effect at the time a

mortgage loan is made (currently 9'/z°lo).The mortgage loans may not exceed 97%of the first$25,000 of
the property's appraised value plus 95°l0 of the balance thereafter, up to a $6Q,000 maximum,for a one-
family residence.
The regulations governing all of the FNA programs under which the Mortgage Loans may be
insured provide that insurance benefits are payable either upon foreclosure (or other acquisition of
pc�ssession) and conveyance of the mortgaged premises to HUD or upon assignment of the defaulted
mortgage loan to HUD. Assignment is allowed only with HUD approval. With respect to the
assignment of mortgaged premises containing less than �ve dwelling units to HUD, mortgagees must
first make a determination as to whether or not the default is caused by a circumstance or set of
circumstAnces beyond the mortgagor's control, which ternporarily renders the family �nancially
unable to cure the delinyuency within a reasonable time or make full mortgage payments. If a
determination is made that the default is caused by such circumstances, HUD must be requested to
accept assignment and must have rejected the request for the mortgagee to initiate foreclosure
proceedings. 1'he FHA insurance that may be provided under these programs upon conveyance of the
mortgaged premises to HLJD is equat to 99�1�of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan,
plus interest, as explained below, and certain additional costs and expenses.
Under some of the FHA insurance programs,insurance claims are paid by HUD in cash, unless the
mortgage holder specifically requests payment in debentures issued by HUD. Under others, HUD has
the option, at its discretion, to pay insurance claims in cash or in such debentures. The current HUD
policy, subject to change at any time, is to make insurance payments on single family mortgage loans
in cash, with respect to all programs covering such units as to which it has discretion to determine the
form of insurance payment.
Should HUD debentures be issued in satisfaction of FHA insurance claims, they will bear interest
from the date of issue, payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year at the rate in effect
as of the day the commitment was issued, or as of the date the mortgage was endorsed for insurance,
whichever rate is higher. The HUD debenture interest rate is lower than the required interest rate on
the Mortgage Loans.
When entitlement to insurance beneFts results from foreclosure (or other acquisition of
possession) and conveyance, the insurance payment is computed as of the date of default by the
mortgagor, which, under HUU regulations, will occur no less than 60 days after due date of a mortgage
payment, and the mortgage holder generally is not compensated for mortgage interest accrued and
unpaid prior to that date. Under such circumstances, the amount of insurance benefits generally paid
by FHA is equal to the unpaid principal amount of the mortgage loan, adjusted to reimburse the
mortgagee for certain tax, insurance and similar payments made by it and to deduct certain amounts
received or retained by the mortgagee after default, plus reimbursement not to exceed 2/3 of the
mortgagee's f'oreclosure costs. When entitlement to insurance bene�ts results from assignment of the
mortgage loan to HUD, the insurance payment is computed as of the date of the assignment and
includes full compensation for mortgage interest accrued and unpaid to the assignment date. The
regulations under all insurance programs de��ribed above provide that the insurance payment itself
shall bear interest from the date of default, or, where applicable, the date of assignment, to the date of
payment of the claim at the same interest rate as the applicable HUD debenture interest rate
determined in the manner set forth above.
When any property to be conveyed to HUD or subject to a mortgage to be assigned to HUD has
been damaged by �re, earthquake, flood or tornado, it is required, as a condition to payment of an
insurance claim, that such property be repaired by the mortgage holder prior to such conveyance or
assignment.
'I'o obtain title to and possession of the property upon foreclosuree,the trustee and the servicer will
pursue its rights under the power of sale contained in the Mortgage subject to the constraints imposed
by applicable State law(discussed above) and by HUD.The HUD Management Mortgagee Letter 76-9
reyuires that, absent the consent of the mortgagor, at least three full monthly installments be due and
unpaid under the mortgage before the mortgagee may initiate any action lending to foreclosure of the
28
�
mortgage. This Letter also requires that, absent the consent of the mortgagor, at least three full
monthly installments be due and unpaid under the mortgage before the mortgagee may initiate any
action leading to foreclosure of the mortgage. This Letter also required to face-to-face conference
between the mortgagee and the mortgagor in an effort to cure the delinquency without foreclosure. In
any case, where the mortgagor has voluntarily abandoned the mortgaged property, the mortgagee may
initiate foreclosure without adhering to the procedures for assignment set forth in the Letter.
Veterans Administration Guaranty Program
The Serviceman's Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended, permits a veteran (or, in certain
instances, his or her spouse) to obtain a mortgage loan guaranty by the VA covering mortgage financing
of the purchase of a one-to-four family dwelling unit at interest rates permitted by the VA. The
program has no mortgage loan limits, requires no down payment from the purchaser and permits the
guaranty of mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years. The maximum guaranty that may be issued
by the VA under this program is the lesser of 60°�of the original principal amount of the mortgage loan
or$25,000. The liability on the guaranty is reduced or increased pro rata with any reduction or increase
in the amount of the indebtedness, but in no event will the amount payable on the guaranty exceed the
amount of the original guaranty. Notwithstanding the dollar and percentage limitations of the
guaranty, a mortgage holder will ordinarily suffer a monetary loss only where the difference between
the unsatisfied indebtedness and the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of a mortgaged premises is greater
than the original guaranty as adjusted. The VA may, at its option and without regard to the guaranty,
make full payment to a mortgage holder of unsatis�ed indebtedness on a mortgage upon its assignment
to the VA.
Private Mortgage Insurance Programs
Under the Indenture, all qualified Mortgage Loans insured by a qualified Private Mortgage
Insurer must have insurance coverage on that portion of the Mortgage Loan in excess of 75°�0 of the
appraised value at which time the coverage may be cancelled.
A qualified Private Mortgagee Insurer is either (1) Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation, (2)
Verex Assurance, Inc., (3) Ticor Mortgage Insurance Company, (4) PMI Mortgagee Insurance
Corporation or (5) United Guaranty Corporation, (6) Tiger I.M.I. Inc., (7) American Mortgage
Company or (8) any other insurer approved which is qualified or approved to provide insurance on
mortgages eligible for purchase by either the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the participation of which in the Program will
not result in a lowering of the ratings on the Bonds.
Both the FNMA and the FHLMC require approval of private mortgage insurance companies
before mortgages insured by those companies are eligible for puchase by them. The FNMA eligibility
requirements currently specify a$5,000,000 minimum capitalization, a 25:1 risk ratio, and a number of
other less forinal conditions designed to insure the competence and stability of the Private Mortgage
Insurer.
The FHLMC eligibility requirements (currently under revision) provide that (a) an insurer must
limit its business activities to the underwriting of residential mortgagee guaranty insurance, which
insurance shall be written to insure only a fully amortized note, bond or other evidence of
indebtedness; (b) not more than 10�% of en insurer's mortgage insurance risk may be represented by
mortgage insurance covering property, other than real property improved by a building or buildings
designed for occupancy by one to four families; (c) an insurer shall not insure mortgages secured by
properties in a single housing tract of contiguous tracts where the insurance risk applicable thereto is in
excess of 10°0 of its policyholders' surplus; (d) no insurer shall have more than 20��'0 of its total
insurance in force in any one Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, nor may any combination of
insurance in force in any one state exceed 60°l0 of its total insurance in force; and (e) an insurer shall
limit its insurance risk with respect to each insured loan to a maximum of 25°io of the entire
indebtedness of the insured.
29
,
Prior to insuring a loan for any mortgage lender, such mortgage lender must be investigated and
evaluated by the insurer in the areas of(a) quality of underwriting ability, (c) net worth and quality of
assets and (d) ability and past performance of servicing staff and adequacy of servicing procedures. A
report with respect to each lender, demonstrating that the investigation and evaluation have been
made, must be retained by the insurer.
The FHLMC also requires the private mortgage insurer to meet the following financial
requirements: (a) polic�•holder's surplus must be maintained at not less than $5 million, of which et
least S3 million shall be represented by capital stock and capital surplus, �f which no less than
S1,?�0,000 shall be represented by fully paid and nonassessable stock; (b) an insurer shall maintain an
unearned premium reserve computed on a monthly pro rata basis; if a greater unearned premium
reserve is required by the state where the insurer is licensed, then such greater requirement shall be
met; (c) an insurer shall establish and maintain a contingency reserve in an amount equal to 50�7o of
earned premiums; (d) an insurer shall maintain a loss reserve for claims incurred, but not reported,
including estimated losses on insured mortgages which have resulted in the conveyance of property
which remains unsold, mortgages in the process of foreclosure or mortgages in default for four or more
months; (e) an insurer shall maintain no less than 85°r'o of its total assets in the form of marketable
securities or other highly liquid investments which qualify as insurance company investments under
the laws and regulations of the state of its domicile; and (f) an insurer shall not at any time have total
insurance risk outstanding in excess of twenty-five times its policyholders' surplus; and (g) losses in
excess of the following limitations may be grounds for disqualification or suspension: (1) aggregate
losses in any two consecutive years in excess of 35%c of the aggregate earned premium for those two
years or (2) an average of the ratio of incurred losses to earned premium computed on any annual basis
exceeding 35°r'o for any two consecutive years. Approved private mortgage insurers must file quarterly
and annual reports with the FHLMC.
Private mortgage insurance policies with respect to Qualified Mortgage Loans presently contain
provisions substantially as follows: (a) the Private Mortgage Insurer must pay a claim, including
unpaid principal, accrued interest and certain expenses, within sixty days of presentation of the claim
by the Mortgage Lender; (b) for a Mortgage Lender to present a claim,the Mortgage Lender must have �
acquired, and tendered to the Private Mortgage Insurer, title to the property, free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances, including any right of redemption by the Mortgagor; and (c) when a claim is
presented, the Private Mortgage Insurer will have the option of paying the claim in full, taking title to
the property and arranging for its sale, or of paying the insured percentage of the claim and allowing
the insured Mortgage Lender to retain title to the property.
Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy
At or prior to the delivery of the Bonds, a Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy will be issued by Verex
Assurance, Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin ("Verex"). 'I'he policy will provide insurance coverage on the
full amount of any loss realized as a result of default in payments by a mortgagor on every Mortgage
Loan foreclosed (af�ter payment by VA or the PMI, if any), subject to a limitation on aggregate claims
of lOSo of the original principal amount of all of the Mortgage Loans.The Policy will cover all Mortgage
Loans purchased under the Program other than those to be insured by FHA.The Trustee has agreed in
the Indenture to use its best ef'forts to maintain the mortgage pool insurance policy with Verex or
another Qualified Insur�r which affords comparable protection to the Verex Policy, provided that the
premiums therefor will be affordable in light of the projected cash flow of the Program.
Under the Verex Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy, it is a condition to payment of a claim on any
Mortgage I.oan that the insured on the Policy advance hazard insurance premiums and, as necessary,
real estate taxes, property sales expenses and foreclosure costs (including court costs and reasonable
attorneys fees). In the event of default by the mortgagor, if there is any physical loss or damage to the
property from any cause, whether by accidental means or otherwise, it is a condition to payment of a
claim on the Mortgage Loan that the insured on the Policy restore the property to its condition at the
time of the issuance of'the Policy (reasonable wear and tear excepted). Therefore, the Policy does not
provide coverage against hazard loss.
30
The Policy de6nes an "approved sale" as (i) a sale of the Home acquired because of a default by
the mortgagor and to which Verex has given prior approval, or (ii) a foreclosure or trustee's sale of't�
property to a third party at a price exceeding the maximum amount specified by Verex to be bid by the
Servicer on behalf of the Trustee. A loss payable under the Policy with respect to each individual claim
is computed to be the sum of (a) the amount of unpaid principal balance at the time of an approved
sale of the Home, plus (b) the amount of the accumulated delinquent interest computed to the date of
cl�im settlement (but excluding applicable late charges and penalty interest), plus (c) the amount of
advances made by the insured and referred to in the preceding paragraph, less the net proceeds upon
an approved sale of the Home. In lieu of the foregoing, Verex, at its option, may pay the insured the
amounts referred to in (a) (b) t�nd (c) above and receive from the insured good and merchantable title
to the Home.
Claims for losses must be�led with Verex within 60 days after the insured has conveyed title to the
Home pursuant to an approved sale, and Verex then has 30 days from the date of �ling to pay the
claim.
Premiums on the Policy will be paid from amounts on deposit in tihe Revenue Fund. Such
premiums are payable on or before the 25th day of each month and failure to pay any such premium
within 10 business days after receipt of notice from Verex that the same is due and payable will
terminate the Policy. The premiums for the Policy are fixed as a percentage of the total principal
amount of Mortgage Loans insured, at a rate of .118°l0. Mortgage Pool insurance coverage will not be
obtained for Mortgage Loans insured by FHA; to the extent, therefore, that the portfolio of Mortgage
Loans actually acquired includes FHA insured Mortgage Loans, the cost of the pool insurance prorated
over the entire portfolio will be less than .118°io. If the aggregate recoveries under the Policy reach the
Policy Limits (10°�0 of the aggregate original principal amount of Mortgage Loans), coverage under the
Policy will be exhausted and further losses due to foreclosure will be borne by the Program and result in
a drain on Revenues.
� Standard Hazard Insurance on Homes
Each Mortgage Loan must contain covenants relating to insurance of the Home. The coverage J
must include all fire and extended coverage risks customarily insured against in the geographical area
in which the Home is located. The insurance policy must provide, as a minimum, fire and extended
coverage insurance on a repiacement cost basis in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (a) the
maximum insurable value of'the Home, or (b) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, but
in any case at least equal to that required to comply with co-insurance provisions. Such insurance must
be in effect on the date of delivery of the Mortgage Loan;the coverage provided thereby must meet the
requirements, if applicable, of FHA, VA or the PMI; and the deductible clause must not exceed$250.
Each Hazard insurance policy must be written by an insurance carrier licensed or authorized by law to
transact business within the State of Minnesota, and the policy must contain a standard mortgage
clause naming the Trustee as mortgagee and providing notice to the Servicer or the Trustee at least 10
days in advance of the effective date of any reduction in coverage or cancellation of the policy.
Hazard insurance coverage varying from that described above will be considered on a case by case
basis by the Yrogram Administrator upon request from the Originator.The mortgagor will be required
to escrow hazard insurance premiums on a monthly basis with the Servicer, and the Servicer will be
responsible for assuring that such insurance is in force and effect.
In general, a standard form of fire and extended coverage policy covers physical damage to or
destruction of the improveinents on the property by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm, hail,
riot, strike and civil commotion, subject to the conditions and exclusions particularized in each policy.
Although policies relating to different Mortgage Loans may be issued by different insurance companies
and, therefore, may have minor differences in coverage, the basic terms typically exclude physical
damage resulting from the following: enemy attack by armed forces, invasion, insurrection, rebellion
revolution, civil war, usurped power, floods, animals, earth movement, nuclear reaction, dry rot,
rodents, and in some cases, vandalism. In addition, such policies typically exclude losses while the
hazard is increased by any means within the control or knowledge of the insured, while the hazard is
31
l
increased by any means within the cntrol or knowledge of the insured, while the premises are vacant or
unoccupied beyond a period of 60 consecutive days, or as a result of explosion. Where property is
located in a designated flood area, flood insurance will be required.
In addition to requiring the rnortgagor to carry the insurance described above, the Homes securing
the Mortgages will be covered by a special hazard insurance policy, as more fully described herein
under the caption "Insurance — Special Hazard Insurance Policy".
Special Hazard Insurance Policy
At or prior to the delivery of the bonds, a Special Hazard Insurance Policy will be issued by
I�uritan Insurance Company of Stanford, Connecticut ("Puritan"). The Policy will provide insurance
coverage against all risks of direct physical loss which constitute "actual loss sustained" (as defined
below) in the event that the security of the insured under the Policy has become impaired by peril
(other than those perils excluded from the Policy as outlined below) and default by the mortgagor has
occurred and the insured has obtained good and merchantable title to the property,or in the event that
losa has occurred as a result of physical damage to a Home acquired by the insured through foreclosure
by a peril not excluded as described below. In the Indenture, the Trustee has agreed to use its best
ef'forts to maintain a special hazard pool insurance policy with Puritan or another Quali�ed Insurer
which affords comparable protection to the Puritan Policy, provided that the premiums therefor will be
affordable in light of the projected cash flow of the Program.
The liability of Puritan under the Policy is limited to loss, in the aggregate, of l��o of the initial
total principal balance of Mortgage Loans. In addition, Policy coverage does not include the following:
(i) infidelity, conversion or other dishonest act on the part of the insured, or its agents or
employees;
(ii) hostile or warlike action, insurrection, rebellion, revolution, civil war, usurped power and
other similar perils; and
(iii) nuclear reaction, nuclear radiation or radioactive contamination; _
In addition, under the Policy, there is required to be maintained on each Home fire insurance and
extended coverage in an amount at least equal to the less of (a) the maximum insurable value of the
Home or (b) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. If such coverage is not maintained
and a loss occurs which would have been covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, then the
claim will be reduced by the amount such fire and extended policy would have covered. However, if
loss to the insured occurs due to operation of the coinsurance provisions of the fire and extended
coverage policy, these coinsurance clause losses shall be recoverable under the Policy.
The term "actual loss sustained" means the lesser of (i) the cost of repair, or (ii) the unpaid
principal balance on a Mortgage Loan at the time of acquisition of a Home by foreclosure, plus accrued
interest to the settlement date (excluding late charges and penalty interest), plus advances, lesa any
net proceeds, if any, from the approved sale of the Home.
If'the insured and Puritan fail to agree as to the amount of the claim, upon demand of either, the
amount of the claim is to be determined by an independent appraiser. Claims are to be paid by Puritan
within 30 days following submiseion of proof of loss. When loss occurs to a Home, the insured is
required to use reasonable means to protect the Home from further loss, and any further covered loss
due to t.he insured's failure to so protect the Home shall not be recoverable under the Policy.
Premiums on the Policy are to be paid from the Revenue Fund. The preinium is to be paid in
installments calculated at the fixed yearly rate of .035��, applied to the total principal balances of
Mortgage Loans outstanding at the beginning of each year. Failure to pay the premium within 10
business days after receipt by the insured of notice of such failure, will result in termination of coverage
of the Policy.
32
w
The Insurers
The Mortgage Pool Insurance Policy will be issued by Verex Assurance, Inc. ("Verex"). Verex is a
Wisconsin corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greyhound Corporation and has its principal
off'ices in Madison, Wisconsin. Verex is principally engaged in the business of insuring mortgage loans
on residential properties against default in payment by the mortgagor. Such mortgage insurance is
offered to approved lending institutions in all 50 states. As of December 31, 1978, Verex reported
insurance in force covering approximately $8.2 billion of residential mortgages. Also as of such date,
Verex reported total assets of approximately $119 million, capital and surplus aggregating $27 million
and statutory contingency reserves of $56 million, resulting in total policyholders' reserves of'
approximately $8�million.
'I'he Speci�l Hazard [nsurance Policy will be issued by Yuritnn Insurance Company ("Puritan").
Puritan is a Connecticut corporation, has its principal offices in Stamford, Connecticut, and is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Credit Company, which in turn is wholly-owned by
General Electric Company. I'uritan is a multi-line property and casualty insurance company, which
writes insurance on both a direct and a reinsurance basis. As of December 31, 1977, Puritan reported
total assets of approximately $49.3 million and policyholders' surplus of approximately $19.7 million.
The Special Haaard Insurance Policy will be reinsured through a major reinsurance company (the
"Reinsurer"),(The Reinsurer will reinsure 90°io of the risk to Puritan, and will also issue a 1005� "cut
through" enc�orsement to the insured; this means that the Reinsurer will pay 100°,�0 of all benefits
payable under the policy to the insured, if Puritan is unable to do so. As of December 31, 1977, the
Reinsurer reported total assets of approximately $1.6 biltion and policyholders' surplus of
approximately $302.7 million.
Errors and Omissions Insurance
Under tihe Servicing A�reement, each Servicer is required to use its best efforts to maintain, or to
require the mortgagor to maintain, the standard hazard insurance reyuired under the Indenture in
effect on all Homes as long as the Bonds are outstanding. In addition, each Servicer is obligated to
perform its servicing duties in a manner which will preserve all claims against insurers. If a Servicer -
fails to perform these or certain other obligations due to an error or ommission of its officers or
employees, coverage will be provided by an errors and omissions insurance policy reyuired to be
maintained by each Servicer.

In April, 1978, the Minnesota Housing Finance A�ency sold a series of obligations, approximately
�,131,000,000 of which was to be used throughout the State of Minnesota to purchase 6-3/4�io mortgage
loans guaranteed by VA, insured by FHA or PM1, or uninsured and secured by one, two, three or four
f'ami(y residential dwellings. Under this prc�gram, eligible mortgagors include persons whose adjusted
grass annual income does not exceed $16,000 and the purchase price of an existing single family unit
cannot exceed $37,500. A substantial portion of these f'unds were made available to mortgage lending
institutions which make loans in the Saint Paul metropolitan area. Some of the Originators are also

The Servicers
The City intends to contract with private financial institutions to act as Servicers f'or all of the
Qualified Mortgage Loans. The Originators may execute a Servicing Agreement relating to the
servicing of each Qualified Mortgage Loan which they originate and sell to the City.��1��2 �nancial
insLitutions�(11_of which are Originators) have entered into such Servicing Agreem�en�s. Banco
Mortgage Company, one of the Servicers, is also acting as Program Administrator of the Program. In
addition, Banco Mortgage Company is an affiliate of Northwest Bancorporation. ne other�Servicer,
Northwest.ern National Bank of St. Pau�s also an atI'iliate of' Narthwest Bancorporation.
Each of the financial institutions requesting to service Qualified Mortgage Loans was asked to
supply certain information to the City concerning the total principal amount of mortgage loans it was
servicing for its own account and for others as of January 31, 1979. Such inf'ormation is summarized

The Mortgage Servicing Agreement requires the Servicer, among other things, to (a) collect and
deposit with the Trustee all principal and interest payments and prepayments of the Qualified
Mortgage Loans less the Servicer' Fee, (b) collect and deposit in specified escrow accounts, the
amounts paid monthly by mortgagors for taxes and hazard and mortgage insurance premiums, (c) pay
when due all taxes, special assessments and hazard and mortgage insurance premiums, and (d) assure
that the Home is insured against fire and other hazards.
Each Servicer represents that it is approved to service FHA insured or VA guaranteed and
privately insured or uninsured mortgages for the Federal National Mortgage Association and/or the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. As compensation for servicing, the Servicer will receive a
monthly f'ee equal to 1/12th of 3/8ths of 1�%,of the principal amount of the Quali�ed Mortgage Loans so
serviced. This f'ee is to be deducted monthly by the Servicer from the portion of the Quali�ed Mortgage
Loan payment representing interest. All amounts constituting principal and interest payments on the

(2) Default in the due and punctual payment of the principal of any Bond, whether at the

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or
in equity to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds then outstanding,
including enforcement of any rights of the City under the Program Administrntion Agreement, or any
Purchase Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. The Trustee may take such action with respect to
the Mortgage Loans as the'I'rustee shall deem necessary or appropriate and in the best interest of the
Bondholders, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loans, including the sale of part or all thereof.Upon
the occurrence of an event of default the Trustee may also declare the principal of all Bonds to be due

declaration the Bonds will remain payable solely from Revenues. Consequently, there may not be
sufficient funds available to pay the Bonds in full either at the time of such declaration or later.

aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding and indemnified as provided in the Indenture,
the 'I'rustee shall be obligated to exercise such one or more of the rights and powers conferred by the
Indenture, as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most expedient in the interests of the
Bondholders.

right, at any time during the continuance of an event of default, by an instrument or instruments in
writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time, method and place of conducting all
proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of the
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or any other proceedings thereunder, provided that such
