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 Pa ment 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, 2019, to the registered owners of record 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, and will maintain, 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) Resister. 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.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized `I`ransfer. 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
544048v4 MNI CL162 -56
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 Chartres. 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 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
registered owners, 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, St.
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 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 monies 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 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
544048v4 MNI CL162 -56
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 Bonds. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form
set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Manager is authorized and directed to obtain a copy
of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and
cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond.

4.01. Debt Service Fund. The Bonds will be payable from the General Obligation Public
Facilities Refunding Bonds, Series 2018A Debt Service Fund (the "Debt Service Fund ") hereby created, and
the proceeds of the ad valorem taxes (the "Taxes ") hereinafter levied are hereby pledged to the Debt Service
Fund. The Debt Service Fund shall be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a
bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the
City. There is appropriated to the Debt Service Fund any amount over the minimum purchase price of the
Bonds paid by the Purchaser, to the extent designated for deposit in the Debt Service Fund in accordance with
Section 1.03 hereof.
4.02. Redemption Fund. All proceeds of the Bonds, less the appropriations made in
Section 4.01 hereof and the costs of issuance of the Bonds, will be deposited in a separate fund (the
"Redemption Fund ") to be used solely to redeem and prepay the Series 2009A Bonds. Any balance
remaining in the Redemption Fund after the redemption of the Series 2009A Bonds on the Redemption
Date shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund.
4.03. Prior Debt Service Fund. The debt service fund, and the accounts created within,
heretofore established for the Series 2009A Bonds pursuant to the resolution providing for the issuance
and sale of the Series 2009A Bonds (the "Prior Resolution ") shall be closed following the redemption of
the Series 2009A Bonds on the Redemption Date, and all monies therein shall be transferred to the Debt
Service Fund herein created, if applicable.
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 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
544048v4 MNI CL 162-56 7
general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Fund when a sufficient
balance is available therein.
4.05. Pledge of Taxes. For the purpose of paying of the principal of 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

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.
4.07. Cancellation of Prior Levies after Redemption Date. Following the payment in full of all
outstanding principal of and interest on the Series 2009A Bonds on the Redemption Date, the Finance

determined that based upon information presently available from the City's municipal advisor, the
issuance of the Bonds, a portion of which will be used to redeem and prepay the Series 2009A Bonds, is
consistent with covenants made with the holders of the Series 2009A Bonds and is necessary and
desirable for the reduction of debt service costs to the City.
5.02. Application of Proceeds of Bonds. It is hereby found and determined that the proceeds of
the Bonds deposited in the Redemption Fund, along with any other funds on hand in the debt service fund
established pursuant to the Prior Resolution, will be sufficient to prepay all of the principal of, interest on

are hereby authorized and directed to certify that they have examined the Official Statement prepared and
circulated in connection with the issuance and sale of the Bonds and that to the best of their knowledge

authorized and directed to furnish to the Purchaser at the closing such certificates as are required as a

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.
7.02. Rebate Exception.

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

544048v4 MNI CL162 -56 9
(b) For purposes of qualifying for the small issuer exception to the federal arbitrage
rebate requirements, the City finds, determines and declares that:
(i) the Series 2009A Bonds were each issued as part of an issue which was
treated as meeting the rebate requirements by reason of the exception for governmental
units issuing $5,000,000 or less of bonds;

maturity of the Series 2009A Bonds; and
(iii) no maturity of the Bonds has a maturity date which is later than the date
which is thirty (30) years after the date the Series 2009A Bonds were issued.
7.03. 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

7.04. Qualified Tax - Exempt Obligations. ions. 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 hereby 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 2018 will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(d) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during calendar year
2018 have been designated for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
7.05. 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 8. Book -Ent System. Limited Obligation of Cily.
8.01. 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 1.04 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.
8.02. 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 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
544048v4 MNI CL162 -56 10
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 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 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 Manager 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 Manager will
promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
