(iii) With respect to the Bonds neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall
have any responsibility or obligation to any broker, dealer, bank, or any other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the
"Participant") or the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds shown
on the books and records of the Participant (the "Beneficial Owner"). Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the Bond Registrar, shall have
any such responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of the
Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Owner or any other person, other than
the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of
redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or (D) the consent given or other action taken
by the Depository as the Registered Holder of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes of
securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however,
rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting
rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date
identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
(iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to
be the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers
with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as
paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and
all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's
obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to
the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place of the
existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10 hereof,
references to the Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee.
(vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all
notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the Bond
Registrar or City, as the case may be, to the Depository as provided in the Letter of
Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a condition to its acting
as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of Representations, together with any
replacement thereof or amendment or substitute thereto, including any standard
procedures or policies referenced therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures
and other matters relating to the Depository's role as book-entry Depository for the
Bonds, collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations").
(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in
book-entry form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and
shall be effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording and
transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds.
(viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to
the Holders pursuant to this resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of
receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such
consent or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond Registrar may establish a
special record date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond Registrar shall,
to the extent possible, give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of such special record date to the extent possible.
(ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under
this Resolution and any paying agencylbond registrar agreement, shall agree to take any
actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.
(x) In the case of a partial prepayment of a Bond, the Holder may, in lieu of
surrendering the Bonds for a Bond of a lesser denomination as provided in paragraph 5
hereof, make a notation of the reduction in principal amount on the panel provided on the
Bond stating the amount so redeemed.
(c) Termination of Book-Entry Only Svstem. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows:
(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with
respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the
services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines that the Depository is
no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the
system of book-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the
City or the Beneficial Owners.
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the
preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository is willing to undertake the
functions of the Depository hereunder can be found which, in the opinion of the City, is
willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or customary terms, or if the
City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the Beneficial Owners of the
Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Bonds, the Bonds
shall no longer be registered as being registered in the bond register in the name of the
Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds
shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof. To the extent that
the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with
paragraph 10 hereof, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.

(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of
paragraph 10 hereof.

proceeds with due diligence to completion and that any and all permits and studies required

legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable regulations ofthe City contained in any
agreement with the Bond Registrar, including regulations which permit the Bond Registrar to

authorized to negotiate and execute the terms of said agreement.

month of such Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date"). Any such interest not so
timely paid shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof as of the Regular

"General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series 2009A Fund" (the "Fund") to be administered
and maintained by the Manager as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds
maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund shall be maintained in the
manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid.
There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts:
(a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, plus any special
assessments levied with respect to the Improvements and collected prior to completion of the
Improvements and payment of the costs thereof. From the Construction Account there shall be
paid all costs and expenses of making the Improvements listed in paragraph 16, 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. Moneys in the Construction Account
shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the
proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due
prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the collection of taxes or special assessments
herein levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if upon completion of the
Improvements there shall remain any unexpended balance in the Construction Account, the
balance (other than any special assessments) shall be transferred by the Council to the Debt
Service Account or the fund of any other improvement instituted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes,
Chapter 429, and provided further that any special assessments credited to the Construction
Account shall only be applied towards payment of the costs of the Improvements upon adoption
of a resolution by the City Council determining that the application of the special assessments for
such purpose will not cause the City to no longer be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
(b) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to,
and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (i) all collections of special
assessments herein covenanted to be levied with respect to the Improvements and either initially
credited to the Construction Account and not already spent as permitted above and required to
pay any principal and interest due on the Bonds or collected subsequent to the completion of the
Improvements and payment of the costs thereof; (ii) all accrued interest received upon delivery
of the Bonds; (iii) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the
Bonds and interest thereon; (iv) all funds remaining in the Construction Account after
completion of the Improvements and payment of the costs thereof, not so transferred to the
account of another improvement; (v) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service
Account; and (vi) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by
the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account shall be
used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and
any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable
from said account as provided by law.
2331948vl
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 the lesser of five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000.
To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the
Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to
pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts
which under then-applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to
yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said
arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary
periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the
Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the
United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment
would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
16. Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty percent (20%) of
the cost to the City of each Improvement financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments to be levied
against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by any of the Improvements.
The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let
within one (1) year after ordering each Improvement financed hereunder unless the resolution
ordering the Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts.
The City hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform as soon as they may be
done all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in
the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or
parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be
taken by the City or the City Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the
making of the assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and
the City Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as may be
required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. The
special assessments have heretofore been authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required
by the conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, 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 interest on the declining balance of all such assessments at
the rates per annum not less than the rate per annum set forth opposite the collection years
specified below:
Improvement
Deshmation

Rate
2009-2018
2010-2019

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
2331948vl
required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 1.
17. Tax Levv: Coverage Test. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and
interest on the Bonds there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct
annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of
other general property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as follows:
Year of Tax Levv
Year of Tax Collection
Amount
2009-2018
2010-2019
See Attached
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 (5%) in excess ofthe 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.
18. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this paragraph,
all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holders of the
Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its obligations with
respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Bond
Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if any Bond
should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Bond
Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such
deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called
for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing
with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full,
provided that notice of redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may also at any time
discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or
hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a
suitable banking institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or
securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest
payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, without
regard to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to become due thereon to maturity or, if
notice of redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption
date.
19. Comoliance With Reimbursement Bond Regulations. The provisions of this
paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States
Treasury Regulations Section 1.150-2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations") applicable to the
"reimbursement proceeds" of the Bonds, being those portions thereof which will be used by the
City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the
Closing Date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure").
2331948vl
The City hereby certifies and/or covenants as follows:
(a) Not later than 60 days after the date of payment of a Reimbursement Expenditure,
the City (or person designated to do so on behalf of the City) has made or will have made a
written declaration of the City's official intent (a "Declaration") which effectively (i) states the
City's reasonable expectation to reimburse itself for the payment of the Reimbursement
Expenditure out of the proceeds of a subsequent borrowing; (ii) gives a general and functional
description of the property, project or program to which the Declaration relates and for which the
Reimbursement Expenditure is paid, or identifies a specific fund or account of the City and the
general functional purpose thereof from which the Reimbursement Expenditure was to be paid
(collectively the "Project"); and (iii) states the maximum principal amount of debt expected to be
issued by the City for the purpose of financing the Project; provided, however, that no such
Declaration shall necessarily have been made with respect to: (i) "preliminary expenditures" for
the Project, defined in the Reimbursement Regulations to include engineering or architectural,
surveying and soil testing expenses and similar prefatory costs, which in the aggregate do not
exceed 20% of the "issue price" of the Bonds, and (ii) a de minimis amount of Reimbursement
Expenditures not in excess of the lesser of $1 00,000 or 5% of the proceeds of the Bonds.
(b) Each Reimbursement Expenditure is a capital expenditure or a cost of issuance of
the Bonds or any of the other types of expenditures described in Section 1.150-2( d)(3) of the
Reimbursement Regulations.
(c) The "reimbursement allocation" described in the Reimbursement Regulations for
each Reimbursement Expenditure shall and will be made forthwith following (but not prior to)
the issuance of the Bonds and in all events within the period ending on the date which is the later
of three years after payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure or one year after the date on
which the Project to which the Reimbursement Expenditure relates is first placed in service.
(d) Each such reimbursement allocation will be made in a writing that evidences the
City's use of Bond proceeds to reimburse the Reimbursement Expenditure and, if made within 30
days after the Bonds are issued, shall be treated as made on the day the Bonds are issued.
Provided, however, that the City may take action contrary to any of the foregoing covenants in
this paragraph upon receipt of an opinion of its Bond Counsel for the Bonds stating in effect that
such action will not impair the tax-exempt status of the Bonds.
20. General Oblil!ation Pledl!e. 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 Debt
Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and
any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds
of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed with
or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein.
21. Continuinl! Disclosure. The City is the sole obligated person with respect to the
Bonds. The City hereby agrees, in accordance with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12 (the "Rule"),
2331948vl
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the
"Undertaking") hereinafter described to:
Provide or cause to be provided to each nationally recognized municipal securities
information repository ("NRMSIR") and to the appropriate state information depository ("SID"),
if any, for the State of Minnesota, through and including June 30, 2009 and thereafter to the
Electronic Municipal Market Access system at www.emma.msrb.org ("EMMA"), in each case as
designated by the Commission in accordance with the Rule, certain annual financial information
and operating data in accordance with the Undertaking. The City reserves the right to modify
from time to time the terms of the Undertaking as provided therein.
Provide or cause to be provided, in a timely manner, (i) through and including June 30,
2009 to each NRMSIR or to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board ("MSRB") and any
SID, and (ii) thereafter to EMMA, notice of the occurrence of certain material events with
respect to the Bonds in accordance with the Undertaking.
Provide or cause to be provided, in a timely manner, (i) through and including June 30,
2009 to each NRMSIR or to the MSRB and any SID and (ii) thereafter to EMMA, notice of a

in the Undertaking.
The City agrees that its covenants pursuant to the Rule set forth in this paragraph and in
the Undertaking is intended to be for the benefit of the Holders of the Bonds and shall be
enforceable on behalf of such Holders; provided that the right to enforce the provisions of these
covenants shall be limited to a right to obtain specific enforcement ofthe City's obligations under
the covenants.
The Mayor and Manager of the City, or any other officer of the City authorized to act in their
place (the "Officers") are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City the
Undertaking in substantially the form presented to the City Council subject to such modifications
thereof or additions thereto as are (i) consistent with the requirements under the Rule, (ii)
required by the Purchaser of the Bonds, and (iii) acceptable to the Officers.

to be filed with the County Auditor of Scott County, Minnesota, together with such other
information as the Auditor shall require, and there shall be obtained from the County Auditor a
certificate that the Bonds have been entered in the County Auditor's Bond Register, and that the
tax levy required by law has been made.

directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality ofthe
issuance of the Bonds, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the City relating to the
Bonds and to the financial condition and affairs of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates
and information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the

2331948vl
otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
24. Negative Covenant as to Use of Bond Proceeds and Improvements. 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.
25. Tax-Exemot Status of the Bonds: Rebate. The City shall comply with
requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross

amount of $5,000,000.
For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate

determines and declares that
(a) the Bonds are issued by a governmental unit with general taxing powers;
(b) no Bond is a private activity bond;

local governmental activities of the City (or of a governmental unit the jurisdiction of which is
entirely within the jurisdiction of the City); and
(d) the aggregate face amount of all tax exempt bonds (other than private activity
bonds) issued by the City (and all entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with the City)
during the calendar year in which the Bonds are issued and outstanding at one time is not
reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the meaning of Section 148(f)( 4 )(D) of the
Code.
26. Desilmation ofOualified Tax-Exemot Obli~ations. In order to qualify the Bonds
as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code, the
City hereby makes the following factual statements and representations:
(a) the Bonds are issued after August 7, 1986;
(b) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 ofthe Code;
(c) the City hereby designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for
purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code;
2331948vl
(d) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private
activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity bonds) which will
be issued by the City (and all entities treated as one issuer with the City, and all subordinate
entities whose obligations are treated as issued by the City) during this calendar year 2009 will
not exceed $30,000,000; and
(e) not more than $30,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during this calendar
year 2009 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b )(3) of the Code; and
(f) the aggregate face amount of the Bonds does not exceed $30,000,000.
The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements which may
apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this paragraph.
27. Severabilitv. If any section, paragraph or provision of this resolution shall be held
to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section,
paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this resolution.
