The Bond Registrar, as paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds as shown on the bond register, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's 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. 2393459v1 (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, references to the Nominee hereunder shall refer to such new Nominee.

(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 fifteen 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/bond 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, make a notation of the reduction in principal amount on the panel provided on the Bond stating the amount so redeemed.

The City may terminate the services of the Depository with respect to the Bond if it determines that the Depository is 2393459v1 4 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 is willing to undertake the functions of the Depository hereunder 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 as being 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. To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 10, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.

In addition, the proceeds of the Bonds and money in the Debt Service Account shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 16. Coverage Test; Pledge of Net Revenues and Excess Net Revenues. It is hereby found, determined and declared that the net revenues of the System are sufficient in amount to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the 2005 Water Revenue Bonds and the 2006 Water Revenue Bonds and a sum at least five percent in excess thereof and together with the net revenues of the Storm Sewer System are sufficient to pay the System Portion of the 2003 Bonds and a sum at least five percent in excess thereof, and the net revenues of the System are hereby pledged on a parity with the Outstanding Bonds for the payment of the Bonds and shall be applied for that purpose, but solely to the extent required to meet the principal and interest requirements of the Bonds as the same become due. As used herein the term net revenues means the gross revenues derived by the City from the operation of the System, including all charges for service, use, availability, and connection to the System, and all monies received from the sale of any facilities or equipment of the System or any by-products thereof, less all normal, reasonable, or current costs of owning, operating, and maintaining the System. Excess net revenues of the System in excess of those required for the foregoing may be used for any proper purpose. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to preclude the City from making further pledges and appropriations of the net revenues of the System for the payment of other or additional obligations of the City, provided that it has first been determined by the City Council that the estimated net revenues of the System will be sufficient, in addition to all other sources, for the payment of the Bonds and such additional obligations and any such pledge and appropriation of the net revenues may be made superior or subordinate to, or on a parity with the pledge and appropriation herein. 17. Covenant to Maintain Rates and Charges. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, the City hereby covenants and agrees with the Holders of the Bonds that it will impose and collect charges for the service, use, availability and connection to the System at the times and in the amounts required to produce net revenues (together with other funds herein pledged) adequate to pay all principal and interest when due on the Bonds, the 2005 Water Revenue Bonds and the 2006 Water Revenue Bonds and, together with the net revenues of the Storm Sewer System, to produce net revenues adequate to pay all principal and interest when due on the System Portion of the 2003 Bonds and a sum at least five percent in excess thereof. Minnesota Statutes, Section 444.075, Subdivision 2, provides as follows: "Real estate tax revenues should be used only, and then on a temporary basis, to pay general or special obligations when the other revenues are insufficient to meet the obligations". 18. State Credit Enhancement Program. The City hereby ratifies and confirms its covenants in the resolution duly adopted on August 20, 2009, obligating itself to notify the Commissioner of Finance of the State of Minnesota of a potential default in payment of the Bonds and to use the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 446A.086 to guarantee the 2393459v1 14 payment of principal and interest on the Bonds. The Mayor and Administrator-Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to enter into an agreement with the Bond Registrar, who is the paying agent for the Bonds, or any department of the State of Minnesota required by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 446A.086. 19. 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 shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the net revenues of the System appropriated and pledged to the payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, together with other funds irrevocably appropriated to the Payment Account or the Debt Service Account, shall at any time be insufficient to pay the principal and interest when due, the City covenants and agrees to levy, without limitation as to rate or amount an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the City sufficient to pay such principal and interest as it becomes due. If the balance in the Payment Account or Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other accounts of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed without interest from the Payment Account or Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein. 20.

Negative Covenant as to Use of Bond Proceeds and Project. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to use the improvements financed by the Prior Bonds (the "Project"), or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred 2393459v1 1 5 payment arrangements for the cost of the Project, 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. 25.
