RESOLUTION NO. 2004-151
(b) Book Entrv Onlv Svstem. The Depository Trust Company, a limited
purpose trust Company organized under the laws of the State of New York or any of its
successors or its successors to its functions hereunder (the "Depository") will act as securities
depository for the Bonds, and to this end:
(i) The Bonds shall be initially issued and, so long as they remain in book entry
form only (the "Book Entry Only Period"), shall at all times be in the form of a separate
single fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds; and for purposes of
complying with this requirement under paragraphs 5 (with respect to redemption) and 10
(with respect to registration, transfer and exchange), Authorized Denominations for any
Bond shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry Only Period to the outstanding
principal amount of that Bond.
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond
register maintained by the U.S. Bank National Association in Saint Paul, Minnesota (the
"Bond Registrar") in the name of CEDE & CO., as the nominee (it or any nominee of the
existing or a successor Depository, the "Nominee").
(iii) With respect to the Bonds neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall have
any responsibility or obligation to any broker, dealer, bank, or any other financial
institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (the
"Participant") or the person for which a Participant holds an interest in the Bonds shown
on the books and records of the Participant (the "Beneficial Owner"). Without limiting
the immediately preceding sentence, neither the City, nor the Bond Registrar, shall have
any such responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of the
Depository, the Nominee or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the
Bonds, or (B) the delivery to any Participant, any Owner or any other person, other than
the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of
redemption, or (C) the payment to any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other
person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or (D) the consent given or other action taken
by the Depository as the Register Holder of any Bonds (the "Holder"). For purposes of
securing the vote or consent of any Holder under this Resolution, the City may, however,
rely upon an omnibus proxy under which the Depository assigns its consenting or voting
rights to certain Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date
identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
(iv) The City and the Bond Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to be
the absolute owner of the Bonds for the purpose of payment of the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to the Bonds, for the purpose of obtaining any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders for the purpose of registering transfers
with respect to such Bonds, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Bond Registrar, as
paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds only to or upon the Holder of the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the register,
and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-151
obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
(v) Upon delivery by the Depository to the Bond Registrar of written notice to
the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new Nominee in place of the
existing Nominee, and subject to the transfer provisions in paragraph 10 hereof (with
respect to registration, transfer and exchange), references to the Nominee hereunder shall
refer to such new Nominee.
(vi) So long as any Bond is registered in the name of a Nominee, all payments
with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all
notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, by the Bond
Registrar or City, as the case may be, to the Depository as provided in the Letter of
Representations to the Depository required by the Depository as a condition to its acting
as book-entry Depository for the Bonds (said Letter of Representations, together with any
replacement thereof or amendment or substitute thereto, including any standard
procedures or policies referenced therein or applicable thereto respecting the procedures
and other matters relating to the Depository's role as book-entry Depository for the
Bonds, collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Letter of Representations").
(vii) All transfers of beneficial ownership interests in each Bond issued in book-
entry form shall be limited in principal amount to Authorized Denominations and shall be
effected by procedures by the Depository with the Participants for recording and
transferring the ownership of beneficial interests in such Bonds.
(viii) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to the
Holders pursuant to this Resolution by the City or Bond Registrar with respect to any
consent or other action to be taken by Holders, the Depository shall consider the date of
receipt of notice requesting such consent or other action as the record date for such
consent or other action; provided, that the City or the Bond Registrar may establish a
special record date for such consent or other action. The City or the Bond Registrar shall,
to the extent possible, give the Depository notice of such special record date not less than
15 calendar days in advance of such special record date to the extent possible.
(ix) Any successor Bond Registrar in its written acceptance of its duties under
this Resolution and any paying agency registrar agreement, shall agree to take any actions
necessary from time to time to comply with the requirements of the Letter of
Representations.
(x) In the case of a partial prepayment of a Bond, the Holder may, in lieu of
surrendering the Bonds for a Bond of a lesser denomination as provided in paragraph 5
hereof (with respect to redemption), make a notation of the reduction in principal amount
on the panel provided on the Bond stating the amount so redeemed.
(c) Termination of Book-Entrv Onlv Svstem. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book-entry only system may be effected as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-151
(i) The Depository may determine to discontinue providing its services with
respect to the Bonds at any time by giving written notice to the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The City may terminate the
services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines that the Depository is
no longer able to carry out its functions as securities depository or the continuation of the
system of book-entry transfers through the Depository is not in the best interests of the
City or the Beneficial Owners.
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the Depository as provided in the
preceding paragraph, and if no substitute securities depository can be found which, in the
opinion of the City, is willing and able to assume such functions upon reasonable or
customary terms, or if the City determines that it is in the best interests of the City or the
Beneficial Owners of the Bond that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates
for the Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be registered in the bond register in the name of
the Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names the Holder of the Bonds
shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 10 hereof (with respect to
registration, transfer and exchange). To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are
designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 10 hereof (with
respect to registration, transfer and exchange), the Bonds will be delivered to the
Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of
paragraph 10 hereof (with respect to registration, transfer and exchange).
(d) Letter of Representations. The provisions in the Letter of Representations
are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of the resolution, and if and to the extent
any such provisions are inconsistent with the other provisions of this resolution, the provisions in
the Letter of Representations shall control.
3. Pumose. The Bonds shall provide funds to finance the acquisition,
demolition, clearance and site preparation in target redevelopment areas within the City's Tax
Increment Financing District No. 3 (the "Project"). Pursuant to a Tax Increment Pledge
Agreement (as hereinafter defined) certain tax increments derived from Tax Increment District
No. 3 (the "Tax Increments"), will be applied to the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon.
A form of the Tax Increment Pledge Agreement between the City and the Authority (the "Tax
Increment Pledge Agreement") providing for the pledge by the Authority of certain Tax
Increments derived from Tax Increment District No. 3 to the payment of the Bonds (the "Pledged
Tax Increments") has been presented to the City Council at this meeting and is hereby approved
in substantially the form presented. The estimated amount of Pledged Tax Increments hereof
exceeds 20% of the cost of the Project. The total cost of the Project, which shall include all costs
enumerated in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65, is estimated to be at least equal to the amount
of the Bonds.
4. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually on
February 1 and August 1 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing February
1, 2005, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, at the respective
rates per annum set forth opposite the maturity years as follows:

5. Redemption. All Bonds maturing in the years 2017 through 2020 shall be
subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2016, and on any
date thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of
the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in part, the City shall determine the maturities
and principal amounts within each maturity to be prepaid; and if only part of the Bonds having a
common maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall be
chosen in a random manner by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or portions thereof called for
redemption shall be due and payable on the redemption date, and interest thereon shall cease to
accrue from and after the redemption date. Mailed notice of redemption shall be given to the
paying agent and to each affected registered holder of the Bonds.
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a common maturity date, the Bond
Registrar prior to giving notice of redemption shall assign to each Bond having a common
maturity date a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the principal amount of such Bond. The
Bond Registrar shall then select in a random manner, using such method of selection as it shall
deem proper in its discretion, from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as many numbers as,
at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. The
Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were assigned numbers so selected; provided,
however, that only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond of a denomination of
more than $5,000 shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so
selected. If a Bond is to be redeemed only in part, it shall be surrendered to the Bond Registrar
(with, if the City or Bond Registrar so requires, a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the City and Bond Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his, her or its
attorney duly authorized in writing) and the City shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Bond, without service charge, a
new Bond or Bonds of the same series having the same stated maturity and interest rate and of
any authorized denomination or denominations, as requested by such Holder, in aggregate
RESOLUTION NO. 2004-151
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the
Bond so surrendered.
6. Bond Registrar. U.S. Bark National Association in Saint Paul, Minnesota,
is appointed to act as bond registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Bonds (the "Bond
Registrar"), and shall do so unless and until a successor Bond Registrar is duly appointed, all
pursuant to any contract the City and Bond Registrar shall execute which is consistent herewith.
The Bond Registrar shall also serve as paying agent unless and until a successor paying agent is
duly appointed. Principal and interest on the Bonds shall be paid to the registered holders (or
record holders) of the Bonds in the manner set forth in the form of Bond and paragraph 12 of this
resolution (with respect to interest payment and record date).
7. Form of Bond. The Bonds, together with the Bond Registrar's Certificate
of Authentication, the form of Assignment and the registration information thereon, shall be in

accounts, to be designated the "Capital Account" and "Debt Service Account", respectively.
(i) Capital Account. To the Capital Account there shall be credited the proceeds of
the sale of the Bonds, less accrued interest received thereon, and less any amount paid for the
Bonds in excess of $17,055,305. From the Capital Account there shall be paid the eligible costs
and expenses of the Project, including all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind
authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65; and the moneys in said account shall be used
for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the
Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the
receipt of Tax Increments.
(ii) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to,
and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (a) all accrued interest received upon
delivery of the Bonds; (b) all funds paid for the Bonds in excess of $17,055,305; (c) Pledged Tax
Increments received from the Authority pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, to pay the annual
principal and interest payments on the Bonds; (d) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter
levied in the event that the Pledged Tax Increments herein pledged to the payment of the
principal and interest on the Bonds are insufficient therefore; (e) all funds remaining in the
Capital Account after payment of the costs of the Project; (f) all investment earnings on funds
held in the Debt Service Account; and (g) any and all other moneys which are properly available
and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt
Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for
redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by
the City and made payable from said account as provided by law.
16. Tax Increments. The City hereby appropriates all Pledged Tax Increments
received by it pursuant to the Pledge Agreement to the Debt Service Account, which
appropriation shall continue until all of the Bonds and any additional bonds payable from the
Debt Service Account, are paid or discharged. The City hereby expressly reserves the right to
use the Tax Increments to finance costs set forth in the TIF Plan not financed hereby or to
finance costs of other projects to be undertaken from time to time within the Redevelopment
Project Area in accordance with the Redevelopment Plan and the TIF Plan, as they may from
time to time be amended.

revenues herein pledged are such that if collected in full they produce at least five percent (5%)

Bonds.

principal and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit
and taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the
Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds
and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other
funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed
with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available
therein.
19. Certificate of Registration. The Clerk is hereby directed to file a certified
copy of this resolution with the County Auditor of Hennepin County, Minnesota, together with
such other information as he or she shall require, and to obtain the County Auditor's Certificate
that the Bonds have been entered in the County Auditor's Bond Register.
20. Defeasance. When all Bonds have been discharged as provided in this
paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered
holders of the Bonds shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease. The City may discharge its
obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with
the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if
any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the
Bond Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date
of such deposit. The City may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable
Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by
depositing with the Bond Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment
thereof in full, provided that notice of redemption thereof has been duly given. The City may
also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of
law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow,
with a suitable banking institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or
securities described in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivision 8, bearing interest
payable at such times and at such rates and maturing on such dates as shall be required, subject
to sale and/or reinvestment, to pay all amounts to become due thereon to maturity or, if notice of
redemption as herein required has been duly provided for, to such earlier redemption date.
