Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date. Resolution 87-24 - Continued February 3, 1987 and shall invest the funds so deposited in securities authorized for such purpose by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, subdivision 8, maturing on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as are required to provide funds sufficient, with cash retained in the escrow account, to pay when due the interest to accrue on the Refunded Bonds to their respective maturity dates or the dates designated for their earlier redemption and prepayment, and to pay the principal amount of each of the Refunded Bonds at maturity or at the date designated for the redemption and prepayment thereof. The Mayor and City Manager are hereby authorized to enter into an escrow agreement with said Bank establishing the terms and conditions for the escrow account in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67. Section 4. Sinking Fund and Tax Levies. 4.01. The Refunded Bonds are payable from the Storm Sewer Reserve Fund (the Fund) for Storm Sewer Improvment District - 1979 heretofore established on the books of the Issuer pursuant to Ordinance No. 601. Upon delivery of the Bonds, the Refunded Bonds, including interest thereon, will be payable primarily from the escrow account established pursuant to Section 3. Therefore, so long as the escrow account is maintained and payments are made as provided in the escrow agreement, the funds from time to time on hand in said Fund and originally pledged for payment of the Refunded Bonds will not be required for such purpose, and shall be made available for payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. 4.02. The Bonds shall be payable from said Storm Sewer Reserve Fund which shall be maintained on the books of the Issuer until the Bonds, and all interest thereon, are fully paid. An initial deposit of $9,469.03, representing accrued interest on the Bonds, unused bond discount and surplus funds, if any, shall be made into said Fund. Thereafter, the Issuer shall continue to levy and deposit therein, so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, an ad valorem tax in an amount equal to one mill on all taxable property in said District, all pursuant to the authority granted by Laws 1979, Chapter 303, and Ordinance No. 601 of the Issuer. It is estimated that the proceeds of said tax will produce sums not less than five percent in excess of the annual principal and interest requirements of the Bonds. However, the Issuer also recognizes and reaffirms its pledge of the full faith and credit of the Issuer to the payment of the Bonds and, in the event that said special levy does not prove sufficient to pay principal and interest on the Bonds, the Issuer will promptly levy additional taxes on all taxable property in the Issuer as necessary for such payment without limitation as to rate or amount. 4.03. In order to ensure compliance with Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), and applicable regulations, the Finance Director, upon allocation of any funds to the Storm Sewer Reserve Fund, shall ascertain the balance then on hand in the Fund pledged solely for the payment of the Bonds. If it exceeds the amount of principal and interest on the Bonds to become due and payable through February 1 next following, plus a reasonable carryover equal to 1/12th of the debt service due in the following bond year, said excess shall (unless an opinion is otherwise received from bond counsel) be used to prepay or purchase Bonds, or invested at a yield which does not exceed the yield on the Bonds calculated in accordance with said Section 148 (5.476%). Resolution 87-24 - Continued February 3, 1987 Section 5. Rebate to the United States. 5.01. The "Rebate Amount" is an amount equal to the sum of: (1) the excess of: (i) the aggregate amount earned from the date of issue of the Bonds on all Nonpurpose Obligations in which Gross Proceeds of the Bonds are invested (other than amounts attributable to the excess described in this clause) over, (ii) the amount that would have been earned if the yield on such Nonpurpose Obligations had been equal to the yield (determined on the basis of the issue price) on the Bonds plus (2) any income attributable to the excess described in Section 5.01(1) above (whether or not such income exceeds the yield on the Bonds). 5.02. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount earned on a Nonpurpose Obligation, any gain or loss on the disposition of a Nonpurpose Obligation shall be taken into account. In addition, if any Nonpurpose Obligation is retained after retirement of the Bonds, any unrealized gain or loss as of the date of retirement of the Bonds must be taken into account in calculating the aggregate amount earned on a Nonpurpose Obligation. 5.03. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount earned on a Nonpurpose Obligation in determining the Rebate Amount, any amount earned on the sinking fund established in Section 4.02 of this resolution (other than on any excess referred to in Section 4.03) shall not be taken into account if gross earnings on such fund for any Bond Year are less than $100,000. 5.04. At least once a year beginning on the date of issue of the Bonds and ending upon retirement of the last Bonds, the Finance Director will cause to be made a determination of the Rebate Amount. The first determination of the Rebate Amount shall be made on the date which is one year after the date of issue of the Bonds. The determination of the Rebate Amount for each succeeding year shall be made on the date which is one year after the date of the previous determination of the Rebate Amount. The determination of the Rebate Amount made each year shall be computed for the period beginning on the date of issue of the Bonds to the date on which the determination of the Rebate Amount is made. 5.05. Records of the determinations of the Rebate Amount shall be retained by the Finance Director until 6 years after the retirement of the Bonds. 5.06. At least once every five years beginning on the date of issue of the Bonds, the Finance Director, acting on behalf of the Issuer, shall make installment payments in an amount at least equal to 90 percent of the Rebate Amount. The first installment payment of the Rebate Amount shall be made no later than 30 days after the end of the 5 year period beginning on the date of issue of the Bonds. Each subsequent installment payment shall be made no later than 5 years after the previous payment was made. The last installment payment shall be made no later than 30 days after the day on which the last Bonds are redeemed or paid and shall be in an amount sufficient to pay the remaining balance of the Rebate Amount. Resolution 87-24 - Continued February 3, 1987 5.07. Each installment payment of the Rebate Amount shall be: ( i ) filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19255; (ii) accompanied by a copy of the Form 8038, if any, filed with respect to the Bonds; (iii) accompanied by a statement summarizing the determination of the Rebate Amount. 5.08. Each payment of the Rebate Amount shall be made from available funds of the Issuer. 5.09. To insure full compliance with the above provisions, the Issuer agrees not to make a "prohibited payment". A "prohibited payment" is a payment, or an agreement to pay, to a party other than the United States, an amount that is required to be paid to the United States by entering into a transaction that reduces the amount described in 5.01 above. Section 6. Tax Covenant; Arbitrage. 6.01. The Issuer covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds herein authorized, that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents, any action which would cause the interest payable on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations issued thereunder, in effect at the time of such action, and that it will take, or it will cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative actions within its powers which may be necessary to insure that such interest will not become subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds. 6.02. The Issuer certifies that the proceeds of the Refunded Bonds were expended for storm sewer improvements in the Issuer (the Improvements), which Improvements are owned by the Issuer and available for use by members of the general public on an equal basis. The Issuer will continue to own, operate and maintain the Improvements as public improvements, and will not take any action which would cause the Bonds to be considered "private activity bonds" or "private loan bonds" pursuant to Section 141 of the Code. 6.03. The Mayor and the City Manager being the officers of the City charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the purchaser an arbitrage certification in order to satisfy the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Section 7. Redemption of Refunded Bonds and Certification of Proceedings. 7.01. The Clerk is hereby authorized and directed forthwith to call for redemption and prepayment on their earliest redemption date all Refunded Bonds which by their terms are subject to redemption.

The officers of the Issuer and said County Auditor are authorized and directed to prepare and furnish to the purchasers of the Bonds, and to bond counsel, certified copies of all proceedings and records of the Issuer relating to the authorization and issuance of the Bonds and such other affidavits and certificates as may reasonably be required to show the facts relating to the legality and marketability of the Bonds as such facts appear from the officers' books and records or are otherwise known to them. All such certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore furnished, shall be deemed representations of the Issuer as to the correctness of all statements contained therein. Section 8. Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. In order to enhance the marketability of the Bonds, and since the Issuer does not reasonably expect to issue in excess of $10,000,000 of governmental and qualified 501(c)(3) bonds in calendar year 1987, the Bonds are hereby designated by the Issuer as "Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations" for the purposes of Section 265 of the Code relating to the proposed disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions.
