Section 2. Registration and Payment.
2.01. Registered Form. The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The interest
thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable by check or draft issued
by the Registrar described herein.
2.02. Dates: Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date
preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available for
payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or
made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the
date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of
the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds will be payable on February 1 and August 1 of each
year, commencing February 1, 2009, to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on
the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a business day.
2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent
and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the
Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in
which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of
transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a 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 will 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 that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange
the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal
amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by
the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
Resolution No. 2008-30 6
May 20, 2008
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer,
the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on
the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is
legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make
transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name a
Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and
interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon
the owner's order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to
the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a
transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed,
stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor
in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in
substitution for a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and
charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or
lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen
or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or
indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both.
the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be
cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the City. If the
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in
accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof
identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the
redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of each Bond to be
redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing
the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered
owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption
date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that
time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation,
Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Administrator are authorized to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of
the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by
law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City
agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City
reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor
Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the
Resolution No. 2008-30 7
May 20, 2008
successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before each
principal or interest due date, without further order of this Council, the City Administrator must transmit to
the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of
the City Administrator and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City
Administrator, provided that all signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the
originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be
such officer before the delivery of any Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and
sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding
such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit
under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by
the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on
different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication
on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When
the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Administrator will deliver the same
to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made
and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive Bonds one or
more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Section 3 with such changes as may
be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon the execution and delivery
of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and cancelled.
Section 3. Form of Bond.

be deposited in an separate construction fund (the "TIF Project Construction Fund") to be used solely to
defray expenses of the TIF Project and the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds prior to the
completion and payment of all costs of the TIF Project. When the TIF Project is complete and the cost
thereof paid, the TIF Project Construction Fund is to be closed and any balance therein is to be deposited in
the TIF Account of the Debt Service Fund.
4.02. Covenants Relating to Assessments. It is hereby determined that the Improvement Project
will directly and indirectly benefit abutting property, and the City hereby covenants with the holders from
time to time of the Bonds as follows:
(a) The City has caused or will cause the Assessments for the Improvement Project to be
promptly levied so that the first installment will be collectible not later than 2009 and will take all
steps necessary to assure prompt collection, and the levy of the Assessments is hereby authorized.
The City Council will cause to be taken with due diligence all further actions that are required for
the construction of each improvement financed wholly or partly from the proceeds of the
Improvement Bonds portion of the Bonds, and will take all further actions necessary for the final
and valid levy of the Assessments and the appropriation of any other funds needed to pay the
Improvement Bonds portion of the Bonds and interest thereon when due.
(b) In the event of any current or anticipated deficiency in Assessments, the City Council will
levy ad valorem taxes in the amount of the current or anticipated deficiency.
(c) The City will keep complete and accurate books and records showing: receipts and
disbursements in connection with the Improvement Project, Assessments levied therefor and other
funds appropriated for their payment, collections thereof and disbursements therefrom, monies on
hand and, the balance of unpaid Assessments.
(d) The City will cause its books and records to be audited at least annually and will furnish
copies of such audit reports to any interested person upon request.
4.03. Pledge of Taxes. The principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid in part from
Assessments, Tax Increment Revenues, and Taxes. It is determined that at least 20% of the cost of the
Improvement Project will be specially assessed against benefited properties and that 20% of the cost of
the TIF Project will be derived from Tax Increment Revenues. For the purpose of paying the principal of
and interest on the Bonds, there is levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the
taxable property in the City, which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of
other general taxes of the City. The Taxes will be credited to the Improvement Account of the Debt
Service Fund in the years and amounts provided in Exhibit B.
4.04. Certification to Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin County as to Debt
Service Fund Amount. It is hereby determined that the estimated collections of Assessments, Tax
Increment Revenues, and the foregoing Taxes will produce at least five percent in excess of the amount
needed to meet, when due, the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy herein
provided is irrepealable until all of the Bonds are paid, provided that at the time the City makes its annual
tax levies the City Administrator may certify to the Taxpayer Services Division Manager of Hennepin
County (the "Taxpayer Services Division Manager) the amount available in the Debt Service Fund to
pay principal and interest due during the ensuing year, and the Taxpayer Services Division Manager will
thereupon reduce the levy collectible during such year by the amount so certified.

City, and such other certificates, affidavits and transcripts as may be required to show the facts within their
knowledge or as shown by the books and records in their custody and under their control, relating to the

Section 6. Tax Covenant.
6.01. Tax -Exempt Bonds. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of
the Bonds 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 on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect at the
time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative
action within its power that may be necessary to ensure 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. No Rebate Required. (a) The City will comply with requirements necessary under the
Code to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under
Section 103 of the Code, including without limitation requirements relating to temporary periods for
investments, limitations on amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and the rebate
of excess investment earnings to the United States if the Bonds (together with other obligations
reasonably expected to be issued in calendar year 2008) exceed the small -issuer exception amount of
$5,000,000.
(b) For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage rebate
requirements, the City finds, determines and declares that the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt
bonds (other than private activity bonds) issued by the City (and all subordinate entities of 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.
6.03. Not Private Activity Bonds. The City further covenants not to use the proceeds of the
Bonds or to cause or permit them or any of them to be used, 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.
6.04. Qualified Tax -Exempt Obligations. In order to qualify the Bonds as "qualified tax-
exempt obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City makes the following
factual statements and representations:
(a) the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the Code;
(b) the City designates the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(c) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity
bonds that are not qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all subordinate
entities of the City) during calendar year 2008 will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar year 2008
have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
6.05. Procedural Requirements. The City will use its best efforts to comply with any federal
procedural requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designations made by this section.
Section 7. Book -Entry System; Limited Obligation of City.
7.01. DTC. The Bonds will be initially issued in the form of a separate single typewritten or
printed fully registered Bond for each of the maturities set forth in Section 1.03 hereof. Upon initial
issuance, the ownership of each Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, and its
successors and assigns ("DTC"). Except as provided in this section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.
7.02. Participants. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent will
Resolution No. 2008-30
May 20, 2008
16
have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions from time to
time for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository (the "Participants") or to any other person on
behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, including but not limited to any responsibility
or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Participant or any other person (other
than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown by the registration books kept by the Registrar), of any notice
with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Participant or any
other person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the
person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the holder
and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest with respect
to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes.
The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the
order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, and all
such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to
payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
No person other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar,
will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the
City Administrator of a written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., the words "Cede & Co.," will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of
such a notice, the City Administrator will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying
Agent.
7.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations (the "Representation Letter") which will govern payment of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or
Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all action
necessary for all representations of the City in the Representation letter with respect to the Registrar and
Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
7.04. Transfers Outside Book -Entry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the City
Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds that
they be able to obtain Bond certificate, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify the
Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City will issue, transfer
and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any other registered owner in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under
applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities depository is appointed, the City will issue and the
Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this resolution and the provisions hereof
will apply to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.
7.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the
contrary, so long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments with
respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and all notices with respect to the Bond
will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC's Operational Arrangements, as set
forth in the Representation Letter.

Section 8. Continuing Disclosure.
8.01. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the City to
comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate will not be considered an event of default with respect
to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate,
including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its
obligations under this section.
8.02. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. "Continuing Disclosure Certificate"
means that certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Administrator and
dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may be amended
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 9. Defeasance. When all Bonds (or all of either the Improvement Bonds or TIF
Bonds portion thereof) have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants, and other
rights granted by this resolution (with respect to the Improvement Bonds portion or the TIF Bonds
portion of the Bonds, as the case may be) to holders of the Bonds will cease, except that the pledge of the
full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the
Bonds will remain in full force and effect. The City may discharge all Bonds (or all of either the
Improvement Bonds portion or the TIF Bonds portion thereof) which are due on any date by depositing
with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full. If any Bond
should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit.
