(iv) The City and the Registrar may treat as and deem the Depository to be the absolute owner of the Certificates for the purpose of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to the Certificates, 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 Certificates, and for all purpose whatsoever. The Registrar, as paying agent hereunder, shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Certificates only to or upon the Holder of the Holders of the Certificates 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 Certificates to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

The City or the 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.

(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 Certificate that the Beneficial Owners be able to obtain certificates for the Certificates, the Certificates 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 Certificates shall designate at that time, in accordance with paragraph 10.

There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts: 16. Capital Account. To the Capital Account there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Certificates. From the Capital Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of the acquisition of the Equipment including all costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65; and the moneys in the Capital Account shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Certificates may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Certificates due prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the collection of taxes herein levied. 17. Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (i) all taxes herein and hereafter levied for the payment of the Certificates; (ii) all funds remaining in the Capital Account after the payment of all costs of acquisition of the Equipment; (iii) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (iv) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account.

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 Certificates to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code "). 18. Tax Levy; Coverage Test. To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Certificates there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property in the City a direct annual ad valorem tax which shall be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general property taxes in the City for the years and in the amounts as follows: Year of Tax Levy Year of Tax Collection Amount 2013 -2020 2014 -2022 $ 12 4890731v1 Resolution No. 2012 -54 Page 13 The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Certificates, will produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Certificates. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Certificates are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 19. Defeasance. When all Certificates have been discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered holders of the Certificates shall cease. The City may discharge its obligations with respect to any Certificates which are due on any date by irrevocably depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full; or if any Certificate should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the 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 Certificates called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms, by depositing with the 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 Certificates, 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, without regard 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. 20. Compliance with Reimbursement Bond Regulations. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to establish and provide for the City's compliance with United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.150 -2 (the "Reimbursement Regulations ") applicable to the "reimbursement proceeds" of the Certificates, being those portions thereof which will be used by the City to reimburse itself for any expenditure which the City paid or will have paid prior to the Closing Date (a "Reimbursement Expenditure ").
