(c) Book Entry Only System. The Depository Trust Company, a limited purpose
trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its successors or its
successors to its functions hereunder(the "Depository")will act as securities depository for the
Bonds, and to this end:
(i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book entry form
only(the 'Book Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of
complying with this requirement under paragraphs 5 and 10 Authorized
Denominations for any Bond shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry
Only Period to the outstanding principal amount of that Bond.
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond
register maintained by the Bond Registrar(as hereinafter defined) in the name of
CEDE& CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the existing or a successor
Depository, the "Nominee").
(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
4
59136341
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,
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 fifteen 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 agency/bond registrar agreement, shall agree to take
any actions necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the
Letter of Representations.
(d) Termination of Book-Enja Only System. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows:
5
5913634v1
(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 10. To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are
designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 10, the
Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (d) shall limit or restrict the provisions of paragraph
10.
(e) Letter of Representations. The provisions in the Letter of Representations are
incorporated herein by reference and made a part of the resolution, and if and to the extent any
such provisions are inconsistent with the other provisions of this resolution, the provisions in the
Letter of Representations shall control.
3. Purpose. The Utility Portion of the Bonds shall provide funds to finance the
Utility Improvements. The Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds shall provide funds to finance
the construction of the Tax Abatement Project. The Utility Improvements and the Tax
Abatement Project are herein referred to together as the Project. The total cost of the Project,
which shall include all costs enumerated in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65, is estimated to
be at least equal to the amount of the Bonds. The City covenants that it shall do all things and
perform all acts required of it to assure that work on the Project proceeds with due diligence to
completion and that any and all permits and studies required under law for the Project are
obtained.
4. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually on February 1 and
August 1 of each year(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing February 1, 2023,
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, at the respective rates per
annum set forth opposite the maturity years as follows:
6
5913634v1

5. Redemption. All Bonds maturing on February 1, 2032 and thereafter, shall be
subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2031, and on any
date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of
the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in part, the maturities and the principal
amounts within each maturity to be redeemed shall be determined by the City; and if only part of
the Bonds having a common maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be
prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or portions thereof called for
redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest thereon shall cease to
accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption shall be given to the
paying agent and to each affected registered Holder of the Bonds not more than sixty (60) days
and not fewer thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a common maturity date, the Bond
Registrar prior to giving notice of redemption shall assign to each Bond having a common
maturity date a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal amount of such Bond. The
Bond Registrar shall then select by lot, using such method of selection as it shall deem proper in
its discretion, from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as many numbers as, at $5,000 for
each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. The Bonds to be
redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided,however,
that only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond of a denomination of more than
$5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected. If
a Bond is to be redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to the Bond Registrar(with, if the
City or Bond Registrar so requires, a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
City and Bond Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly
authorized in writing) and the City shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds
having the same stated maturity and interest rate and of any Authorized Denomination or

be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing.

governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange of any Bond and any
legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.

to negotiate and execute the terms of said agreement.

and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond.

Interest Payment Date by check or draft mailed to the person in whose name the Bond is

month next preceding 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 Record Date, and shall be payable to the person who is the Holder thereof at the
close of business on a date (the "Special Record Date") fixed by the Bond Registrar whenever
money becomes available for payment of the defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record
Date shall be given by the Bond Registrar to the Holders not less than ten days prior to the

shall be delivered by the Clerk to the Purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price, and the
Purchaser shall not be obliged to see to the proper application thereof.

"General Obligation Bonds, Series 2022A Fund" (the "Fund") to be administered and maintained
by the Clerk 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

5913634v1
specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have been fully paid. The Operation and
Maintenance Account heretofore established by the City for the Water System shall continue to
be maintained in the manner heretofore provided by the City. The Operation and Maintenance
Account heretofore established by the City for the Sanitary Sewer System shall continue to be
maintained in the manner heretofore provided by the City. (The Operation and Maintenance

Sewer System are referred to together herein as the "Operation and Maintenance Accounts".) All
moneys remaining after paying or providing for the items set forth in the resolution(s)
establishing the Operation and Maintenance Account shall constitute and are referred to as "net
revenues"until the Utility Portion of the Bonds have been paid. In such records there shall be
established accounts of the Fund for the purposes and in the amounts as follows:
(a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the
proceeds of the sale of the Bonds. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs
and expenses of the Project, 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 herein levied or covenanted to be levied; and provided further that if
upon completion of the Project there shall remain any unexpended balance in the Construction
Account,the balance shall be transferred to the Debt Service Account.
(b) Debt Service Account. There shall be maintained two separate subaccounts in the
Debt Service Account to be designated the "Utility Improvements Debt Service Subaccount" and
the "Tax Abatement Project Debt Service Subaccount". There are hereby irrevocably
appropriated and pledged to,and there shall be credited to the separate subaccounts of the Debt
Service Account:
(i) Utility Improvements Debt Service Subaccount. To the Utility Improvements
Debt Service Subaccount there shall be credited: (A)the net revenues of the
System not otherwise pledged and applied to the payment of other obligations of
the City, in an amount,together with other funds which may herein or hereafter
from time to time be irrevocably appropriated to the Utility Improvements Debt
Service Subaccount, sufficient to meet the requirements of Minnesota Statutes,
Section 475.61 for the payment of the principal and interest of the Utility Portion
of the Bonds; (B) any collections of all taxes which may hereafter be levied in the
event that the net revenues of the System and other funds herein pledged to the
payment of the principal and interest on the Utility Portion of the Bonds are
insufficient therefore; (C) a pro rata share of all funds remaining in the
Construction Account after completion of the Project and payment of the costs
thereof; (D)all investment earnings on funds held in the Utility Improvements
Debt Service Subaccount; and(E) any and all other moneys which are properly
available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Utility
Improvements Debt Service Subaccount. The Utility Improvements Debt Service
Subaccount shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premium
for redemption of the Utility Portion of the Bonds and any other general
15
5913634v1
obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from
said subaccount as provided by law
(ii) Tax Abatement Project Debt Service Subaccount. To the Tax Abatement Project
Debt Service Subaccount there is hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged,
and there shall be credited(A) Tax Abatements in an amount sufficient to pay the
annual principal and interest payments on the Tax Abatement Portion of the
Bonds; (B) available City funds(together with interest earnings thereon and
subject to such other adjustments as are appropriate to provide sufficient funds to
pay interest on the Improvement Portion of the Bonds on or before February 1,
2023); (C)a pro rata share of all funds remaining in the Construction Account
after completion of the Project and payment of the costs thereof, (D)all
investment earnings on funds held in the Tax Abatement Project Debt Service
Subaccount; and(E)any and all other moneys which are properly available and
are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Tax Abatement Project
Debt Service Subaccount. The Tax Abatement Project Debt Service Subaccount
shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for
redemption of the Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds.
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.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. Covenants Relating to the Utility Portion of the Bonds.
(a) Sufficiency of Net Revenues. It is hereby found, determined and declared that the
net revenues of the System are sufficient in amount to pay when due the principal of and interest
on the Utility Portion of the Bonds and the Outstanding Utility System Bonds and a sum at least
five percent in excess thereof. The net revenues of the Sanitary Sewer System are sufficient to
pay when due the principal and interest on the Outstanding Sanitary Sewer Bonds and a sum at
least five percent in excess thereof. The net revenues of the System are hereby pledged on a
parity lien with the Outstanding Utility System Bonds and the Outstanding Sanitary Sewer
Bonds and shall be applied for that purpose,but solely to the extent required to meet,together
with other pledged sums, the principal and interest requirements of the Utility Portion of the
16
59136340
Bonds as the same become due. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the City
from making further pledges and appropriations of the net revenues of the System for the
payment of other or additional obligations of the City, provided that it has first been determined
by the City Council that the estimated net revenues of the System will be sufficient in addition to
all other sources, for the payment of the Utility Portion of the Bonds and such additional
obligations and any such pledge and appropriation of the net revenues may be made superior or
subordinate to, or on a parity with the pledge and appropriation herein.
(b) Excess Net Revenues. Net revenues in excess of those required for the foregoing
may be used for any proper purpose.
(c) Covenant to Maintain Rates and Charges. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes,
Section 444.075, the City hereby covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds that it will
impose and collect charges for the service, use, availability and connection to the System at the
times and in the amounts required to produce net revenues adequate to pay all principal and
interest when due on the Utility Portion of the Bonds. Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075,
Subdivision 2,provides as follows: "Real estate tax revenues should be used only, and then on a
temporary basis, to pay general or special obligations when the other revenues are insufficient to
meet the obligations."
17. Covenants Relating to the Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds.
(a) Tax Abatements; Use of Tax Abatements. The Council has adopted the
Abatement Resolution and has thereby approved the Tax Abatements, including the pledge
thereof to the payment of principal and interest on the Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds. As
provided in the Abatement Resolution, the estimated total amount of the Tax Abatements, if
received as estimated for the full maximum term thereof, is $375,000 and therefore the principal
and interest amount of the Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds does not exceed the maximum
projected amount of the Tax Abatements. The Council hereby confirms the Abatement
Resolution, which is hereby incorporated as though set forth herein.
(b) Coverage Test. The Tax Abatements are such that if collected in full they will
produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and
interest payments on the Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds.
(c) General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of
and interest on the Tax Abatement Portion of 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 Abatement Debt Service Subaccount is ever insufficient to pay all principal
and interest then due on the Tax Abatement Portion of the Bonds payable therefrom, the
deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other accounts of the City which are available for
such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed without interest from the Abatement Debt
Service Subaccount when a sufficient balance is available therein.
18. General Obligation Pledge. 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 net revenues of the
17
59136341
System appropriated and pledged to the payment of principal and interest on the Utility Portion
of the Bonds, together with other funds irrevocably appropriated to the Utility Improvements
Debt Service Subaccount herein established, shall at any time be insufficient to pay such
principal and interest when due, the City covenants and agrees to levy, without limitation as to
rate or amount an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the City sufficient to pay such
principal and interest as it becomes due. 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.
19. 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.
20. Compliance 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").
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
18
59136341
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$100,000 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 not later than three years after the later of(1)the date of the
payment of the Reimbursement Expenditure, or(ii) 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.
21. Certificate of Registration. A certified copy of this resolution is hereby directed
to be filed in the offices of the Director of Resident and Real Estate Services of Hennepin
County, Minnesota, together with such other information as the Director shall require and to
obtain the County Director's Certificate that the Bonds have been entered in the County
Director's Bond Register.
22. Continuing 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"),
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:
(a) to provide or cause to be provided to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board,
by filing at www.emma.msrb.org, (i) at least annually, its audited financial statements for the
most recent fiscal year, and(ii)notice of the occurrence of certain events with respect to the
Bonds in not more than ten (10)business days after the occurrence of such event, in accordance
with the Undertaking; and
(b) 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
19
5913634v1
covenants shall be limited to a right to obtain specific enforcement of the City's obligations under
the covenants.
The Mayor and Clerk 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.
23. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are hereby authorized and
directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the legality of the
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
Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under their custody and control or as
otherwise known to them, and all such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any
heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited therein.
24. Negative Covenant as to Use of Bond Proceeds and Project. The City hereby
covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the Project, or to cause or permit them
to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Project, 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-Exempt Status of the Bonds; Rebate. The City shall comply with
requirements necessary under the Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross
income under Section 103 of the Code of the interest on the Bonds, including without limitation
(1)requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (ii) limitations on amounts
invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and (iii)the rebate of excess investment
earnings to the United States if the Bonds (together with other obligations reasonably expected to
be issued and outstanding at one time in this calendar year) exceed the small issuer exception
amount of$5,000,000.
For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate
requirements for governmental units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds, the City hereby finds,
determines and declares that(i) the Bonds are issued by a governmental unit with general taxing
powers; (ii)no Bond is a private activity bond; (iii)ninety five percent or more of the net

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.

as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the

not exceed $10,000,000;
