2. Authorization of Project; Documents Presented. H B Associates
Limited Partnership, a Minnesota limited partnership (the "Borrower"), has pro-
posed to this Council that the City issue and sell its $1,265,000 City of Golden
Valley Economic Development Refunding Revenue Bonds (H B Associates Project),
Series 1992, in substantially the form set forth in the hereinafter -mentioned
Trust Indenture (the "Bonds") pursuant to the Act and loan the proceeds thereof
to the Borrower in order to refinance costs incurred in the acquisition,
construction and equipping of a commercial office facility of approximately
21,000 gross square feet at 4825 Olson Memorial Highway in the City (the

1992, between the City and the Borrower, whereby the City agrees to make a loan
to the Borrower of the gross proceeds of sale of the Bonds and the Borrower
agrees, subject to the terms and provisions thereof, to cause the Refunded bonds
to be refunded in full, and to pay amounts in repayment of the loan sufficient
to provide for the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds; and
(b) Trust Indenture (the "Trust Indenture") dated as of October
1, 1992, between the City and First Trust National Association, as Trustee,
authorizing the issuance of the Bonds and pledging certain revenues, including
those to be derived from the Loan Agreement, as security for the Bonds, and
setting forth proposed recitals, covenants and agreements relating thereto; and
(c) Guaranty Agreement (the "Guaranty") dated as of October 1,
1992, from Northwestern National Life Insurance Company (the "Guarantor") to the
Trustee, by which the Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees
payment of all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds (this
document not to be executed by the City); and
Resolution 92-75 - Continued October 20, 1992
(d) Bond Purchase Agreement (the "Bond Purchase Agreement"), by
and between Dain Bosworth Incorporated (the "Underwriter"), the Borrower, and
the City, providing for the purchase of the Bonds from the City by the
Underwriter and setting the terms and conditions of purchase; and
(e) Preliminary Official Statement and Final Official Statement,
(together the "Official Statement"), describing the offering of the Bonds, and
certain terms and provisions of the foregoing documents.
3. Findings. It is hereby found, determined and declared that:
(a) The Project, based upon information furnished by the
Borrower, constitutes a project authorized by and described in the Act.
(b) Pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, the City Council conducted a public hearing on October 20,
1992, on the issuance of the Bonds to refinance the Project, and the Project and
the issuance of the Bonds are hereby approved for purposes of said Section
147(f).
(c) There is no litigation pending or, to the best of its
knowledge, threatened against the City relating to the Project or to the Bonds,
the Loan Agreement, the Bond Purchase Agreement or the Trust Indenture or
questioning the organization, powers or authority of the City.
(d) The execution, delivery and performance of the City's obli-
gations under the Bonds, the Trust Indenture, the Bond Purchase Agreement and
the Loan Agreement do not and will not violate any charter provision, or any
order of any court or other agency of government of which the City is aware or
in which the City is a party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to
which the City is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or be
in conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse
of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instru-
ment.
(e) It is desirable that the Bonds be issued by the City upon
the terms set forth in the Trust Indenture, under the provisions of which the
City's interest in the Loan Agreement will be pledged to the Trustee as security
for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.
(f) The Loan Agreement provides for payments by the Borrower to
the Trustee for the account of the City of such amounts as will be sufficient to
pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due. The
Loan Agreement obligates the Borrower to pay or cause to be paid all costs of
operation and maintenance of the Project Facilities, including adequate
insurance, taxes and special assessments. A reserve fund for the Bonds has not
been deemed necessary to be established under the provisions of the Indenture in
connection with the issuance of the Bonds.
(g) Under the provisions of the Act, and as provided in the Loan
Agreement and Trust Indenture, the Bonds are not to be payable from nor charged
upon any funds other than amounts payable pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the
Guaranty and moneys in the funds and accounts held by the Trustee which are
pledged to the payment thereof; no owners of the Bonds shall ever have the right
Resolution 92-75 - Continued October 20, 1992
to compel the exercise of the taxing power of the City to pay any of the Bonds
or the interest thereon, nor to enforce payment thereof against any property of
the City (other than the City's interests in the Loan Agreement assigned to the
Trustee pursuant to the Indenture); the Bonds shall not constitute a charge,
lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, upon any property of the City (other
than the City's interests in the Loan Agreement assigned to the Trustee pursuant
to the Indenture); and each Bond issued under the Trust Indenture shall recite
that the Bond, including interest thereon, shall not constitute or give rise to
a charge against the general credit or taxing powers of the City.
4. Approval and Execution of Documents. The forms of Loan Agreement,
Trust Indenture, Bond Purchase Agreement and Guaranty referred to in paragraph
2, are approved. The Loan Agreement and Trust Indenture shall be executed in
the name and on behalf of the City by the Mayor and the City Clerk, or other
officers of the City, in substantially the form on file, but with all such
changes therein, not inconsistent with the Act or other law, as may be approved
by the officers executing the same, which approval shall be conclusively evi-
denced by the execution thereof, and then shall be delivered to the Trustee.
The Bond Purchase Agreement shall be signed on behalf of the City as provided
therein. Copies of all documents shall be delivered and filed as provided
therein.
5. Approval, Execution and Delivery of Bonds. The city shall proceed
forthwith to issue the Bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed
$1,265,000, in the form and upon the terms set forth in the Trust Indenture,
which terms are for this purpose incorporated in this resolution and made a part
hereof. Pursuant to the provisions of the Bond Purchase Agreement and subject
to the conditions therein set forth, the Underwriter has agreed to purchase the
Bonds at the purchase price set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, and said
purchase price is hereby found to be favorable and is hereby accepted. The
Mayor and City Clerk and other City officers are authorized and directed to pre-
pare and execute the Bonds as prescribed in the Trust Indenture and to deliver
them to the Trustee, together with a certified copy of this Resolution and the
other documents required by Section 2.08 of the Trust Indenture, for authen-
tication, registration and delivery to the Underwriter. As provided in the
Trust Indenture, each Bond shall contain a recital that it is issued pursuant to
the Act, and such recital shall be conclusive evidence of the validity and regu-
larity of the issuance thereof.
6. Official Statement. The City hereby consents to the circulation by
the Underwriter of the Official Statement in offering the Bonds for sale, and
the Official Statement is hereby "deemed final" for purposes of Rule 15c2-12 of
the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided, however, that the City has not
participated in the preparation of the Official Statement or independently
verified the information in the Official Statement and takes no responsibility
for, and makes no representations or warranties as to, the accuracy or complete-
ness of such information.
7. $10 Million Election. The City hereby elects that the $10 million
election with respect to the Bonds and certain capital expenditures for the
Project, as provided under Section 144(a)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of

tificates as may be required to show the facts appearing from the books and

furnished, shall constitute representations of the City as to the truth of all
statements contained therein.
