As may be requested by the Purchaser, one or more term Bonds may be issued having mandatory

Book Entry Only System. 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:
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 and 10 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.
Res. 2004 -16 Page 3
Upon initial issuance, ownership of the Bonds shall be registered in a bond register maintained
by the Bond Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in the name of CEDE & CO., as the nominee (it or
any nominee of the existing or a successor Depository, the "Nominee ").
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.
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
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.
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, references to the Nominee hereunder
shall refer to such new Nominee.
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 ").
Res. 2004 -16 Page 4
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.
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.
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.
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, make a notation of the
reduction in principal amount on the panel provided on the Bond stating the amount so
redeemed.
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:
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.
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 hereof. To
the extent that the Beneficial Owners are designated as the transferee by the Holders, in
accordance with paragraph 10 hereof, the Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial Owners.
Nothing in this subparagraph (c) shall limit or restrict the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof.
The provisions in the Letter of Representations are incorporated herein by referenced 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.
Res. 2004 -16 Page 5
Purpose. The Bonds shall finance the Refunding. It is hereby found, determined and declared
that the Refunding is pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67 and shall result in a
reduction of debt service cost to the City. Pursuant to a Tax Increment Pledge Agreement dated
October 1, 1998, previously entered into between the Authority and the City, tax increments
derived from the Tax Increment Districts (the "Tax Increments ") have been pledged to the
payment of the Prior Bonds. Pursuant to a Tax Increment Pledge Agreement dated March 23,
2004 (the "Pledge Agreement ") to be entered into between the Authority and the City, Tax
Increments will now be pledged to the payment of the Bonds.
Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each
year (each, an "Interest Payment Date "), commencing August 1, 2004, 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:
Maturity Year Interest Rate
2005 %
2006
2007
2008
2009
2010
2011
2012
Redemption. Bonds maturing on February 1, 2010, and thereafter, shall be subject to redemption
and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2009, 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, those Bonds remaining unpaid which have the latest
maturity date shall be prepaid first; 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 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.
Mailed notice of redemption shall be given to the paying agent and to each affected registered
holder of the Bonds at least thirty days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
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 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 and Bond
Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in
Res. 2004 -16 Page 6
writing) and the City shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of the Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds having the same
stated maturity and interest rate and of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations, as
requested by the Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered..
Bond Registrar. U.S. Bank 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. 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 in paragraph 12 of this resolution.

typewritten) and shall be executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the
City Manager and be sealed with the seal of the City; provided, however, that the seal of the City
may be a printed (or, at the request of the Purchaser, photocopied) facsimile; and provided

of the Mayor and the City Manager. Such temporary bonds shall, upon the printing of the
definitive bonds and the execution thereof, be exchanged therefor and cancelled.

representative of the Bond Registrar. Certificates of Authentication on different Bonds need not
be signed by the same person. The Bond Registrar shall authenticate the signatures of officers of
the City on each Bond by execution of the Certificate of Authentication on the Bond and by
inserting as the date of registration in the space provided the date on which the Bond is
authenticated, except that for purposes of delivering the original Bonds to the Purchaser, the
Bond Registrar shall insert as a date of registration the date of original issue, which date is March
23, 2004. The Certificate of Authentication so executed on each Bond shall be conclusive
evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution.
Registration; Transfer; Exchange. The City will cause to be kept at the principal office of the
Bond Registrar a bond register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Bond
Registrar may prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall provide for the registration of Bonds and the
registration of transfers of Bonds entitled to be registered or transferred as herein provided.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, the City
shall execute (if necessary), and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate, insert the date of
registration (as provided in paragraph 9) of, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Bonds of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations of a
like aggregate principal amount, having the same stated maturity and interest rate, as requested
by the transferor; provided, however, that no Bond may be registered in blank or in the name of
"bearer" or similar designation.
At the option of the Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any Authorized
Denomination or Denominations of a like aggregate principal amount and stated maturity, upon
surrender of the Bonds to be 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
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
