Page 2 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
(b) Book Entry Only System. Midwest Securities Trust Company, a limited
purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of Illinois,
or any of 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 6
and 11 of this Resolution, authorized denominations for each maturity of Bonds
shall be deemed to be limited during the Book Entry Only Period to the
outstanding principal amount of that maturity. While in such book entry form,
the Bonds are sometimes hereinafter referred to as being in "Book Entry Only
Form."
(ii) Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a
bond register maintained by the Bond Registrar appointed pursuant to paragraph
7 of this Resolution in the name of KRAY & 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 to 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
Beneficial 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 registered owner 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
1 1 •.
' Page 3 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
upon the Holder or the Holders of the Bonds, as shown on the Bond Registrar's
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.
(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 11 hereof, 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 the City, as the case may be, to the
Depository as provided in the Depository Letter Agreement required by the
Depository as a condition to its acting as book -entry Depository for the Bonds
(said Depository Letter Agreement, 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, are collectively hereinafter referred to as the "Depository Letter
' Agreement ").
(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 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 the 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 thereof 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 Depository Letter Agreement.
(x) In the case of a partial prepayment of a Bond, the Holder may, in lieu of
surrendering the Bond for a Bond of a lesser denomination as provided in
paragraph 6 hereof, make a notation of the reduction in principal amount on
the panel provided on the Bond stating the amount so redeemed.

' Page 4 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
(c) Termination of Book -Entry Only System. Discontinuance of a particular
Depository's services and termination of the book -entry only system may
be effected as follows:
(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
Bonds if the City 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.
(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 that the Beneficial Owners be issued certificates
for the Bonds, the Bonds shall no longer be registered 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 11 hereof.
To the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by
' the Holders, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof, the Bonds will be
delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
(iii) Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions
of paragraph 11 hereof.
(d) Depository Letter Agreement. The Mayor and City Manager are authorized
to execute in the name of the City the Depository Letter Agreement in
substantially the form on file in the offices of the City. In the event
of the disability or the resignation or other absence of the Mayor or
City Manager, such other officers of the City who may act in their
behalf shall without further act or authorization of the City do all
things and execute all instruments and documents required to be done or
to be executed by such absent or disabled officials. The provisions in
the Depository Letter Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and
made fully a part of this Resolution to the same extent as if set forth
in full herein, and if and to the extent that any provisions of this
Resolution are inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions of the
Depository Letter Agreement, the provisions in the Depository Letter
Agreement shall control.
4. Purpose: Temporary Bonds: Certain Covenants Respectine Pavment of Bonds.
The Bonds shall provide moneys for a current refunding of the City's Prior
Bonds. It is hereby found, determined and declared that such refunding is
' necessary or desirable for the reduction of debt service cost to the City
and /or the adjustment of the maturities of the Prior Bonds in relation to the
sources for their repayment and will result in a reduction of debt service
1:
' Page 5 -- Resolution No: 70 - 1995
cost to the City. All of the proceeds, including all investment earnings
thereon, of the Prior Bonds have heretofore been expended by the City for the
uses and purposes for which the City issued said Prior Bonds. The balance in
the debt service account heretofore established by the City for the payment of
the principal of and interest on the Prior Bonds has been taken into account
in appropriately sizing the Bonds, and some monies therein are expected to be
combined as of December 1, 1995, to the extent necessary, with the available
proceeds of the Bonds in order to obtain a sum sufficient to accomplish the
refunding and to pay the regularly scheduled debt service due on the Prior
Bonds on said date; otherwise, the current and anticipated balances in said
debt service account do not exceed and are not expected to exceed the
aggregate amount of regularly scheduled debt service on the Prior Bonds which
is payable on or before December 1, 1995, except only insofar as may be
necessary to provide sufficient funds, together with the other monies
available for such purposes, to provide for the payment of the debt service
first coming due on the Bonds. The City has observed and complied with all of
its obligations and covenants made by the City in connection with the issuance
of the Prior Bonds.
In addition to the Bonds being general obligations of the City, certain tax
increments derived from certain tax increment financing districts within
Redevelopment Project No. 1 of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and
for the City of Fridley, Minnesota, as provided in the Tax Increment Pledge
Agreement described in paragraph 24 of this Resolution, shall be pledged to
the payment of the Bonds. The Bonds are being issued as "temporary bonds"
within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subdivision 5,
pursuant to which the City is required and hereby covenants to issue (to the
extent that the principal of and interest on the Bonds cannot be paid, when
due, from receipts of such tax increment or other funds appropriated and
pledged for such purposes) long -term bonds (the "Definitive Bonds ") in such
amount as shall be required to provide sufficient revenues for such debt
service purposes, and the provisions of said Subdivision 5 (including the
rights therein prescribed of the owners of the Bonds) are hereby incorporated
into this Resolution to the same extent as though set forth in full at this
point. The estimated collection of the above described tax increments is not
less than 208 of the cost of the Project which was financed through the
issuance of the Prior Bonds.
5. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest at the rate of 4.108 per annum,
and interest shall be payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1 of each
year (each, an "Interest Payment Date "), commencing May 1, 1996, calculated on
the basis of a 360 -day year consisting of twelve 30 -day months.
6. Redemption. The Bonds shall be subject to redemption and prepayment at
the option of the City on May 1, 1996, and on any date thereafter at a price
of par plus accrued interest to date of redemption. Redemption may be in
whole or in part, and if only part, the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall be
' chosen by lot 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. Published
109
' Page 6 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
notice of redemption shall in each case be given if and to the extent required
by applicable law, and mailed notice of redemption shall be given to the
paying agent and to each affected registered owner of the Bonds.
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds, the Bond Registrar, prior to giving
notice of redemption, shall assign to each Bond a distinctive number for each
$5,000 of the principal amount of such Bond. The Bond Registrar shall then
select by lot, 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 or Bond Registrar duly
executed by the registered owner thereof or by the registered owner's
attorney, duly authorized in writing) and the City shall execute (if
necessary) and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to the
registered owner 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 registered
' owner, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered.
7. Bond Registrar. First Trust National Association, in St. 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. The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be
paid to the registered owners (or record owners) of the Bonds in the manner
set forth in the form of Bond and paragraph 13 of this Resolution.
8. 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 substantially the following form:

exchanged at the principal office of the Bond Registrar. Whenever any Bonds
are so surrendered for exchange, the City shall execute (if necessary), and
the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of registration of, and
deliver the Bonds which the registered owner making the exchange is entitled
to receive.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or transfer provided for in this
Resolution shall be promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar and thereafter
disposed of as directed by the City.
All Bonds delivered in exchange for or upon transfer of Bonds shall be valid
general obligations of the City evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the
same benefits under this Resolution, as the Bonds surrendered for such
exchange or transfer.

endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner
thereof or the registered owner's attorney duly authorized in writing.
The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection with the transfer or exchange
of any Bond and any legal or unusual costs regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable regulations of the City
contained in any agreement with the Bond Registrar, including regulations
which permit the Bond Registrar to close its transfer books between record
dates and payment dates.
12. Rights Upon Transfer or Exchange. Each Bond delivered upon transfer of
or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry all the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Bond.
13. Interest Payment: Record Date. Interest on any Bond shall be paid on
each Interest Payment Date by check or draft mailed to the person in whose
name the Bond is registered on the registration books of the City maintained
by the Bond Registrar and at the address appearing thereon at the close of
business on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month preceding such
Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date "). Any such interest not so
timely paid shall cease to be payable to the person who is the registered
owner thereof as of the Regular Record Date, and shall be payable to the
person who is the registered owner thereof at the close of business on a date
(the "Special Record Date") fixed by the Bond Registrar whenever money becomes
available for payment of the defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record
Date shall be given by the Bond Registrar to the registered owners not less

and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
15. Delivery: Application of Proceeds. The Bonds when so prepared and
executed shall be delivered by the City Finance Director to the Purchaser upon
receipt of the purchase price, and the Purchaser shall not be obliged to see
to the proper application thereof.
16. Fund and Accounts. There is hereby created a special fund to be
designated the "General Obligation Temporary Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1995A
Fund" (the "Fund ") to be administered and maintained by the City as a
bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the
official financial records of the City. The Fund shall be maintained in the
manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon have
been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund two separate accounts,
to be designated the "Refunding Account" and "Debt Service Account,"
respectively.
' (i) Refunding Account. The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, less such
proceeds of the Bonds (if any) as may be used to pay issuance expenses or
hereinafter directed for deposit into the Debt Service Account, plus any other
available municipal funds ( "Other Funds "), if any, as may be required to
adequately fund the Refunding Account to accomplish its purposes, together
with all investment earnings on funds held in the Refunding Account, are
hereby pledged and appropriated and shall be credited to the Refunding
Account. The Refunding Account may be invested only in securities maturing or
callable on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as shall be required
to provide funds sufficient, together with any cash or other funds retained in
the Refunding Account, and together with monies made available from the debt
service account for the Prior Bonds, to pay all principal and interest due on
the Prior Bonds on December 1, 1995, whether due thereon by virtue of
regularly scheduled debt service or prior redemption. The moneys in the
Refunding Account shall be used solely for the purposes herein set forth and
for no other purpose, except that any surplus in the Refunding Account shall
be remitted to the City. Such Other Funds, if any, as may be required to
fully fund the Refunding Account as described above are hereby appropriated
for said purpose.
(ii) Debt Service Account. To the Debt Service Account there are hereby
pledged and irrevocably appropriated and there shall be credited: (1) all
accrued interest and unused discount received upon delivery of the Bonds which
' is not then deposited into the Refunding Account; (2) any balance remaining on
December 1, 1995, after payment thereon of all of the principal of and
interest on all of the Prior Bonds, in the debt service account created for
and allocated to the Prior Bonds pursuant to paragraph 15 of the Council's
121
' Page 18 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
Resolution, adopted on November 23, 1992, in awarding the sale and setting the
terms of the Prior Bonds; (3) the tax increments (the "Tax Increment ")
received by the City pursuant to the Tax Increment Pledge Agreement referred
to in paragraph 24 of this Resolution, but only in such amounts as shall be
necessary, together with other monies in the Debt Service Account and
available for such purposes, to pay, when due, the principal of and interest
on the Bonds; (4) all collections of any ad valorem taxes hereafter levied for
the payment of the Bonds; (5) all investment earnings on funds held in the
Debt Service Account; and (6) any amounts received by the City upon
termination of the Refunding Account. The foregoing funds are hereby pledged
to the Debt Service Account, but only in such amounts and at such times as may
be necessary, together with other available funds therein (and the same shall
be used solely), to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly
to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used
directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except for an
available and reasonable "temporary period" until such proceeds are needed for
the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and for any available "minor
portion." To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to
time held in the Refunding Account and Debt Service Account (or any other City
account which will be used to pay principal and interest to become due on the
' Bonds) in excess of amounts which under then - applicable federal arbitrage
regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a
yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by the arbitrage
regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable
"temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal
arbitrage regulations. In addition, the proceeds of the Bonds and money in
the Fund 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, and regulations, rulings and decisions
thereunder (the "Code ").
17. 1058 Debt Service Coverage. It is hereby determined that the Tax
Increments will be in the principal amount of at least 208 of the cost of the
Project being refinanced through the issuance of the Bonds and that the
estimated collections of Tax Increments, together with the proceeds of any
Definitive Bonds (as described in paragraph 4 of this Resolution) required to
be issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, Subdivision 5, will
produce at least 58 in excess of the amount needed to meet, when due, the
principal of and interest on the Bonds. The City Clerk is directed to file a
certified copy of this Resolution with the office of Anoka County Property
Records & Taxation and to obtain the certificate of said office required by
Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63.
18.
General
Obligation Pledge.
The full faith
and credit and taxing powers
of
the City are
hereby pledged
to the payment of
the principal of and interest
on
the Bonds,
and in the event
of any current or
anticipated deficiency of
122
' Page 19 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
funds in the Debt Service Account of amounts needed to make any such payment,
when due, the Council shall levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in
the City and /or issue Definitive Bonds in such amounts as may be necessary to
rectify such deficiency. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever
insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds, 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. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are hereby authorized
and directed to prepare and furnish to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys
approving the legality of the issuance of the Bonds, certified copies of all
proceedings and records of the City relating to the Bonds and to the financial
condition and affairs of the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and
information as are required to show the facts relating to the legality and
marketability of the Bonds as the same appear from the books and records under
their custody and control or as otherwise known to them, and all such
certified copies, certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore
furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City as to the facts recited
therein.
' 20. Negative Covenant as to Use of Project. The City hereby covenants not to
use the proceeds of the Bonds or the Project or to cause or permit the same to
be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of
the Project, and the City represents that the proceeds of the Prior Bonds were
not used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds or the Prior Bonds to be
"private activity bonds" within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through
150 of the Code.
21. Tax - Exempt Status o t e Bonds :_Rebate: Certain Previous 1995 Bond Issues
of the City. The City shall comply with requirements necessary under the Code
to establish and maintain the exclusion from gross income under Section 103 of
the Code of the interest on the Bonds, including without limitation (1)
requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, (2) limitations on
amounts invested at a yield greater than the yield on the Bonds, and (3) the
rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States to the extent that
the Bonds do not qualify in whole or in part for an exception thereto. In
view of the provisions of Section 148(f)(4)(D)(v) of the Code, the City does
not expect to qualify the Bonds as exempt from arbitrage rebate on the basis
of the $5,000,000 "small issuer" exception thereto.
The City is aware that the proceeds of the Bonds may qualify, in whole or in
part, for
other arbitrage rebate exceptions, e.g., the
6 month expenditure
exception,
and the officers of the City have been and
are hereby authorized to
make such
available elections in connection therewith
which they may deem
desirable
or necessary.
22. Designation
of Oualified Tax - Exempt Obli at ons.
In order to qualify the
Bonds as "qualified

obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(d) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax - exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being
private activity bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all
entities subordinate to, or treated as one issuer with, the City) during
calendar year 1995 will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(e) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued or to be issued by the
City during calendar year 1995 have been designated for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.

requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by
this paragraph.
23. Defeasance. When any obligation of a Bond has been discharged as
provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by
this Resolution to the registered owner of that Bond (with respect to the
obligation thereof so defeased) shall, to the extent permitted by law, cease.
The City may at any time discharge any or all of such obligation(s) with
respect to any Bond, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter
authorizing or regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow,
with a suitable institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for this
purpose, cash or securities which are backed by the full faith and credit of
the United States of America, bearing interest payable at such times and at
such rates and maturing on such dates and in such amounts as shall be required
and sufficient, subject to sale and /or reinvestment in like securities, to pay
said obligation(s), which may include any interest payment on such Bond and /or
principal amount due thereon at a stated maturity (or if irrevocable provision
shall have been made for permitted prior redemption of such principal amount,
at such earlier redemption date).

hereby approves and authorizes the Mayor and City Manager to execute that
certain Tax Increment Pledge Agreement, dated as of November 1, 1995,
respecting the Bonds, which Agreement has been presented to the Council for
its consideration and which is between the City and the Housing and
' Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley, Minnesota, with such
modifications, if any, as such officers shall approve, as evidenced by their
execution and delivery thereof. The Tax Increment Pledge Agreement, as
124
' Page 21 -- Resolution No. 70 - 1995
actually executed and delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds,
is hereby made fully a part of this Resolution to the same extent as though
set forth in full herein at this point, and the representations and covenants
made therein with respect to the tax exemption of the interest of the Bonds
are hereby ratified and confirmed by the City for the benefit of the owners of
the Bonds.
25. Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. The Council hereby acknowledges that
the Bonds are subject to continuing disclosure requirements under Rule 15c2-
12(b)(5) (the "Rule ") of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

City will execute and deliver a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the
"Undertaking ") whereunder the City will covenant to provide, or cause to be
provided, annual financial information, including audited financial statements
of the City, and notices of certain material events, as specified in the

the City for the Council's consideration is hereby approved, and the officers
of the City are hereby authorized to execute and deliver that Undertaking in
the proposed form or in such final form thereof reflecting such modifications
thereof as are consistent with the Rule, requested by the original purchaser
of the Bonds and acceptable to the City officials who shall execute the
Undertaking (which consent shall be conclusively evidenced by their execution
and delivery thereof). The Undertaking, as so executed and delivered by the
City, shall be as much a part of this Resolution as if set forth in full
herein and shall be for the benefit of the owners from time to time of the
Bonds.
26. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Resolution
shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or
unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any
of the remaining provisions of this Resolution.
27. Headings. Headings in this Resolution are included for convenience of
reference only and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision
hereof.
