The Capital Fund and Debt Service Fund shall be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid. (i? C�ital Fund. To the Capital Fund there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, and less any amount paid for the Bonds in excess of $2,772,000. From the Capital Fund there shall be paid all costs and expenses of making the Improvements listed in paragraph 18, after they have been ordered in accordance with the Charter of the City, including the cost of any construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65 (including interest on the Bonds payable during the construction period); and the moneys in the Capital Fund shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the collection of taxes or special assessments herein covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the Improvements there shall remain any unexpended balance in the Capital Fund, the balance may be transferred by the Council to the fund of any other improvement instituted pursuant to the City's Charter or Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429, or used to pay the costs of any other purpose permitted by law, or transferred to the Debt Service Fund. All earnings on the Capital Fund shall be transferred to the Debt Service Fund, or may be retained in the Capital Fund. (ii) Debt Service Fund.

If moneys in the special account of the Debt Service Fund should ever be insufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds, the Bonds shall be paid from the Debt Service Fund or any other special account therein, and the Bonds are hereby made payable from the Debt Service Fund and any other special accounts therein for this purpose. Amounts drawn from the Debt Service Fund or any special account therein may be repaid with or without inCerest when moneys sufficient for such repayment are deposited in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund. The special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund sha11 be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from such special account in the Debt Service Fund as provided by law, or to pay any rebate due to the United States. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than five percent (Sg) of the proceeds of the Bonds. To this effect, any sums from time to time held in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service Fund (or any other City fund or account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then- applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard as to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restriotions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds of the Sonds and money in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Sonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code'� ) . 18. Assessments; Coveraae Test. The Citiy Council has heretofore determined, and does hereby determine, to proceed with the Improvements and special assessments with respect thereto 920770.2 34 ��- a�� 1 under the provisions of the Charter of the City, rather than the 2 provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. 3 It is hereby determined that no less than twenty 4 percent (20%) of the cost to the City of each Improvement 5 financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, 6 Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special 7 assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and 8 parcel of land benefitted by the Improvements. The City hereby 9 covenants and agrees that it wi11 let a11 construction contracts 10 not hereto£ore let within one year after ordering each 11 Improvement financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering the 12 Improvement specifies a different time limit £or the letting of 13 construction contracts and will do and perform, as soon as they 14 may'be done, all acts and thinqs necessary for the final and 15 valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any 16 such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any 17 lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or 18 irregularity, in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken 19 by the City or this Council or any of the City officers or 20 employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the 21 performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this 22 Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further 23 proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a 24 valid and binding lien upon such property. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with intereat on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum approximately one percent (1%) per,annum in excess of the net e£fective rate of interest on the Bonds: Improvement ' Collection Desianation Amount Levy Years Years Thomas/MacKubin Doswell/Chelmsford Bidwell/Congress Margaret/Arcade Railroad Island $ 550,000 600,000 470,000 970,000 210,000 1998-2017 1999-2018 for all for all TOTAL $2,800,000 46 The special assessments shall be such that if collected 47 in full they, together with estimated collections of other szo��o.z 3 5 � �-a`��l 1 2 3 a 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (S%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds in every year except the final year (2010). At the time the assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. • 19. Limit on S�ecial Assessments Pledged. The City Cour_cil hereby finds, determines and declares that the payment of the Bonds does not require the pledge of all the special assessments which may be levied with respect to the Improvements identi£ied in paragraph 18, and that it is necessary, proper and expedient to provide that payments and prepayments of special assessments in excess of the debt service requirements of the Honds be put to use for other purposes sooner than upon the termination of the Debt Service Fund. Only $2,800,000 original principal amount of the special assessments (which amount is the "Pledged Assessments"), and interest thereon, recognized in paragraph 18 of this Resolution (of which $560,000 are necessary prior to their scheduled receipt in order to pay debt service on the Bonds on April 1, 1999) are or shall be pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and payments of, or with respect to, such special assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited instead to a special account in the Capital Fund, and used for the purpose of paying any additional costs of the Improvements and the costs of oCher improvements approved by the City, as follows: (a) the first $560,000 of all prepayments of special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, (b) thereafter until such time as the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the P�edged Assessments or less, prepayments of any of the special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be treated as prepayments of the portion of the special assessments not pledged to the Bonds and shall be credited instead to said special account of the Capital Fund, and used as provided above, and (c) while the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or more, regular installment payments made on the Pledged Assessments only (not all of the special assessments) shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, and regular installment payments on that portion, if any, of the remaining assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited to said special account oP the Capital Fund, and used as provided above. 47 20. Tax Levv; Coveraae Test. If taxes are levied as 48 provided in the final part of paragraph 18, the tax levies shall 49 be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outistanding and 50 unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to szo��o.z 3 6 ������ reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by MinnesoCa Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 3 To provide moneys for payment of the principal and 4 interest on the Bonds due to be paid in 2010 there is hereby S levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct 6 annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls 7 and collected with and as part of other general property taxes in 8 the City for the years and in the amounts as follows: 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 Year of Tax Levy Year of Tax Collection Amount ��: 2009 $1,112,469 The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of special assessments and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent i5o) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 21. General Obliaation Pledcre.

If the balance in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund {as defined in paragraph 17 hereof) is ever insufficient to pay a11 principal and interest then due on the Bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, including the general fund of the City and the Debt Sezvice Fund and the special accounts therein, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the special account in the Debt Service Fund relating to the Bonds when a sufficient balance is available therein. 36 22.

If moneys in the special account of the Debt Service Fund should ever be insufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds, the Bonds shall be paid from the Debt Service Fund or any other special account therein, and the Bonds are hereby made payable from the Debt Service Fund and any other special accounts therein for this purpose. Amounts drawn from the Debt Service Fund or any special account therein may be repaid with or without inCerest when moneys sufficient for such repayment are deposited in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund. The special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund sha11 be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from such special account in the Debt Service Fund as provided by law, or to pay any rebate due to the United States. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than five percent (Sg) of the proceeds of the Bonds. To this effect, any sums from time to time held in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service Fund (or any other City fund or account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then- applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard as to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restriotions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds of the Sonds and money in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Sonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code'� ) . 18. Assessments; Coveraae Test. The Citiy Council has heretofore determined, and does hereby determine, to proceed with the Improvements and special assessments with respect thereto 920770.2 34 ��- a�� 1 under the provisions of the Charter of the City, rather than the 2 provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. 3 It is hereby determined that no less than twenty 4 percent (20%) of the cost to the City of each Improvement 5 financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, 6 Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special 7 assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and 8 parcel of land benefitted by the Improvements. The City hereby 9 covenants and agrees that it wi11 let a11 construction contracts 10 not hereto£ore let within one year after ordering each 11 Improvement financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering the 12 Improvement specifies a different time limit £or the letting of 13 construction contracts and will do and perform, as soon as they 14 may'be done, all acts and thinqs necessary for the final and 15 valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any 16 such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any 17 lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or 18 irregularity, in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken 19 by the City or this Council or any of the City officers or 20 employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the 21 performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this 22 Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further 23 proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a 24 valid and binding lien upon such property. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with intereat on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum approximately one percent (1%) per,annum in excess of the net e£fective rate of interest on the Bonds: Improvement ' Collection Desianation Amount Levy Years Years Thomas/MacKubin Doswell/Chelmsford Bidwell/Congress Margaret/Arcade Railroad Island $ 550,000 600,000 470,000 970,000 210,000 1998-2017 1999-2018 for all for all TOTAL $2,800,000 46 The special assessments shall be such that if collected 47 in full they, together with estimated collections of other szo��o.z 3 5 � �-a`��l 1 2 3 a 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (S%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds in every year except the final year (2010). At the time the assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. • 19. Limit on S�ecial Assessments Pledged. The City Cour_cil hereby finds, determines and declares that the payment of the Bonds does not require the pledge of all the special assessments which may be levied with respect to the Improvements identi£ied in paragraph 18, and that it is necessary, proper and expedient to provide that payments and prepayments of special assessments in excess of the debt service requirements of the Honds be put to use for other purposes sooner than upon the termination of the Debt Service Fund. Only $2,800,000 original principal amount of the special assessments (which amount is the "Pledged Assessments"), and interest thereon, recognized in paragraph 18 of this Resolution (of which $560,000 are necessary prior to their scheduled receipt in order to pay debt service on the Bonds on April 1, 1999) are or shall be pledged to the payment of the Bonds, and payments of, or with respect to, such special assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited instead to a special account in the Capital Fund, and used for the purpose of paying any additional costs of the Improvements and the costs of oCher improvements approved by the City, as follows: (a) the first $560,000 of all prepayments of special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, (b) thereafter until such time as the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the P�edged Assessments or less, prepayments of any of the special assessments recognized in paragraph 18 shall be treated as prepayments of the portion of the special assessments not pledged to the Bonds and shall be credited instead to said special account of the Capital Fund, and used as provided above, and (c) while the special assessments from time to time outstanding equal in original principal amount the Pledged Assessments or more, regular installment payments made on the Pledged Assessments only (not all of the special assessments) shall be credited to the Debt Service Fund, and regular installment payments on that portion, if any, of the remaining assessments in excess of the Pledged Assessments shall be credited to said special account oP the Capital Fund, and used as provided above. 47 20. Tax Levv; Coveraae Test.

The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 21. General Obliaation Pledcre. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund {as defined in paragraph 17 hereof) is ever insufficient to pay a11 principal and interest then due on the Bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, including the general fund of the City and the Debt Sezvice Fund and the special accounts therein, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the special account in the Debt Service Fund relating to the Bonds when a sufficient balance is available therein. 36 22.

The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Improvements, or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Improvements, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code. The City reasonably expects that no actions will be taken over the term of the Bonds that would cause them to be private activity bonds, and the average term of the Bonds is not longer than reasonably necessary for the governmental purpose of the issue. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be ��hedge bonds" within the meaning of Section 149(g) of the Code. 28 25.

If moneys in the special account of the Debt Service Fund should ever be insufficient to pay debt service on the Bonds, the Bonds shall be paid from the Debt Service Fund or any other special account therein, and the Bonds are hereby made payable from the Debt Service Fund and any other special accounts therein for this purpose. Amounts drawn from the Debt Service Fund or any special account therein may be repaid with or without inCerest when moneys sufficient for such repayment are deposited in the special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund. The special account relating to the Bonds in the Debt Service Fund sha11 be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from such special account in the Debt Service Fund as provided by law, or to pay any rebate due to the United States. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than five percent (Sg) of the proceeds of the Bonds. To this effect, any sums from time to time held in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service Fund (or any other City fund or account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then- applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard as to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restriotions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds of the Sonds and money in the Capital Fund or in such special account in the Debt Service Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Sonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code'� ) . 18. Assessments; Coveraae Test. The Citiy Council has heretofore determined, and does hereby determine, to proceed with the Improvements and special assessments with respect thereto 920770.2 34 ��- a�� 1 under the provisions of the Charter of the City, rather than the 2 provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. 3 It is hereby determined that no less than twenty 4 percent (20%) of the cost to the City of each Improvement 5 financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, 6 Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special 7 assessments to be levied against every assessable lot, piece and 8 parcel of land benefitted by the Improvements. The City hereby 9 covenants and agrees that it wi11 let a11 construction contracts 10 not hereto£ore let within one year after ordering each 11 Improvement financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering the 12 Improvement specifies a different time limit £or the letting of 13 construction contracts and will do and perform, as soon as they 14 may'be done, all acts and thinqs necessary for the final and 15 valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any 16 such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any 17 lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or 18 irregularity, in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken 19 by the City or this Council or any of the City officers or 20 employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the 21 performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and this 22 Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further 23 proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a 24 valid and binding lien upon such property. 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with intereat on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum approximately one percent (1%) per,annum in excess of the net e£fective rate of interest on the Bonds: Improvement ' Collection Desianation Amount Levy Years Years Thomas/MacKubin Doswell/Chelmsford Bidwell/Congress Margaret/Arcade Railroad Island $ 550,000 600,000 470,000 970,000 210,000 1998-2017 1999-2018 for all for all TOTAL $2,800,000 46 The special assessments shall be such that if collected 47 in full they, together with estimated collections of other szo��o.z 3 5 � �-a`��l 1 2 3 a 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (S%) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds in every year except the final year (2010). At the time the assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on the then-current estimated collections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1. • 19.
