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 (1) 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 February 1, 2018, 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. 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) Re ig�ster. 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 fore 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. 500958v2 MNI CLI62 -53 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) 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 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 funlishing 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 ah-eady 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 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 500958v2 MNI CLI62 -53 5 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 thirty (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 the City 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.

Escrow Fund. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $8,625,228.35 will be deposited in a separate fund (the "Escrow Fund ") maintained by U.S. Bank National Association, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, acting as escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent ").

The Escrow Fund will be invested in securities maturing or callable at the option of the holder on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as will be required to provide sufficient funds, together with any cash or other funds retained in the Escrow Fund, to (i) pay the interest on the 2019 through 2038 maturities of the Prior Bonds to and including the Redemption Date; and (ii) pay on the Redemption Date the principal amount of the 2019 through 2038 maturities of the Prior Bonds.

The moneys in the Escrow Fund will be used solely for the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose, except that any surplus in the Escrow Fund may be remitted to the City, all in accordance with the Escrow Agreement between the City and the Escrow Agent. Any moneys remitted to the City upon termination of the Escrow Agreement will be deposited in the Debt Service Fund. 4.03. Prior Debt Service Fund. The debt service fund heretofore established for the Prior Bonds pursuant to the resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the Prior Bonds (the "Prior Resolution ") shall be terminated on the Redemption Date, following the redemption of the Prior Bonds, and all monies therein are hereby transferred to the Debt Service Fund herein created. 4.04. 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 Escrow Fund or 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 Escrow Fund or Debt Service Fund when a sufficient balance is available therein. 4.05. Pledge of Tax Levies. (a) To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, there is hereby 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. Such Taxes will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and in the amounts attached hereto as EXHIBIT C. (b) The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of investment earnings (and until the Redemption Date, of all amounts in the Escrow Fund) and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (5 %) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies will be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Section 475.61, subdivision 3 of the Act. 4.06. Cancellation of Prior Levy after Redemption Date. Following the payment in full of all outstanding principal of and interest on the Prior Bonds on the Redemption Date, the Finance Director is 500958v2 MNI CL162 -53 7 hereby directed to certify such fact to and request the Manager of Property Taxation and Records of Anoka County, Minnesota (the "Manager of Property Records and Taxation ") to cancel any and all tax levies made for the Prior Bonds pursuant to the Prior Resolution. 4.07. Certification to Manager of Property Records and Taxation as to Debt Service Fund Amount. It is determined that the estimated collection of the foregoing Taxes will produce at least five percent (5 %) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levy herein provided will be irrepealable until 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 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. 4.08. Certificate of Manager of Property Records and Taxation as to Registration.

The Reduction, after the inclusion of all authorized expenses of refunding in the computation of the effective interest rate on the Bonds, is adequate to authorize the issuance of the Bonds as provided by Section 475.67, subdivision 12 of the Act. 5.03. Proceeds Pledged to the Escrow Fund. As of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $8,559,429.35 are hereby pledged and appropriated and will be deposited in the Escrow Fund for the purposes of (i) paying interest on the 2019 through 2038 maturities of the Prior Bonds to and including the Redemption Date; and (ii) paying the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 through 2038 maturities of the Prior Bonds on the Redemption Date.
