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, lnterest 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 is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year,
commencing August 1, 2015, 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 such day is a business day.
2.03. Re ig stration. 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) Re ister. 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.
456211 v2 MNI CLI62 -50 4
(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.
(e) hnproper 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 any 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 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 terns 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.
456211 v2 MNl CL162 -50
2.04. Appointment of Initial Re 's tray. The City appoints U.S. Bank National Association, Saint
Paul, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager 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 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 Finance Director 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 Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager,
provided that those 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 a 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 Manager 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 EXHIBIT B attached hereto 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.
3.01. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form
set forth in EXHIBIT B.

which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany
each Bond.

issuance of the Bonds to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 5.04. Any balance remaining in the
Construction Fund after completion of the Project may be used for any other public use authorized by
law or credited to the Debt Service Fund or other City debt service funds, all in accordance with
Section 475.65 of the Act.
4.03. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest
on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City will
be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt Service Fund is ever insufficient to pay all
principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency will be
promptly paid out of monies in the general fund of the City which are available for such purpose, and such
general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Fund when a sufficient
balance is available therein.
4.04. Pledge of Taxes. 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 Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and amounts
as attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
4.05. Certification to Manager of Property Records and Taxation as to Debt Service Fund
Amount. It is hereby determined that the estimated collection of 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 Finance Director may certify to the Manager of Property
Records and Taxation of Anoka County, Minnesota (the "Manager of Property Records and Taxation ")
the amount available in the Debt Service Fund to pay principal and interest due during the ensuing year,
and the Manager of Property Records and Taxation will thereupon reduce the levy collectible during such
year by the amount so certified.

copy of this resolution with the Manager of Property Records and Taxation and to obtain the certificate
required by Section 475.63 of the Act.

authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the Official Statement prepared and circulated in

time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative

maintain the exclusion from gross income of the interest on the Bonds under Section 103 of the Code,

Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent will
have no responsibility or obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions from time to

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

to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, 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

hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.

seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations
under this section.

discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest
