The Bonds will be issued only in fully registered form. The interest thereon and, upon surrender of each Bond, the principal amount thereof, is payable by check or draft issued by the Registrar described herein. 2.02. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available for payment, unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available for payment, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case the Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue. The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2012, to the registered owners of record as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month, whether or not that day is a business day. 2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect thereto are as follows: (a) Re ig ster. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged. (b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until that interest payment date. (c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the Registrar will authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing. (d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange will be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City. (e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is 392123v1 MNI MN190-140 3 satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized. (0 Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner's order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. (g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange. (h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment. (i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of any proceeding for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time. 2.04. Appointment of Initial Registrar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation, Roseville, Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Administrator 392123v1 MNI MN190-140 4 are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days' notice and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or before each principal or interest due date, without further order of this Council, the City Finance Director must transmit to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due. 2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds will be prepared under the direction of the City Administrator and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Administrator, provided that those signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of a Bond, that signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on a Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Administrator will deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not obligated to see to the application of the purchase price. 2.06. Temporary Bonds. The City may elect to deliver in lieu of printed definitive Bonds one or more typewritten temporary Bonds in substantially the form set forth in Section 3 with such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than one maturity in a single temporary bond. Upon the execution and delivery of definitive Bonds the temporary Bonds will be exchanged therefor and cancelled. Section 3. Form of Bond. 3.01. The Bonds will be printed or typewritten in substantially the form as attached hereto as EXHIBIT B. 3.02. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to obtain a copy of the proposed approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is to be complete except as to dating thereof and cause the opinion to be printed on or accompany each Bond. 392123v1 MNI MN190-140 5 Section 4. Bonds; Security; Escrow. 4.01. Funds and Accounts. For the convenience and proper administration of the moneys to be borrowed and repaid on the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, and to provide adequate and specific security for the Purchaser and holders from time to time of the Bonds and Refunded Bonds, there is hereby created a special fund to be designated the Refunding Bonds, Series 2011 A Debt Service Fund (the "Fund") to be administered and maintained by the Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds maintained in the official financial records of the City. The Fund will be maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Refunded Bonds have been paid and until all of the Bonds and the interest thereon will have been fully paid. There will be maintained in the Fund two separate accounts, to be designated the Escrow Account and Debt Service Account. (a) Escrow Account. The Escrow Account will be maintained as an Escrow Account (the "Escrow Account") with U.S. Bank National Association in St. Paul, Minnesota, which is a suitable financial institution within the State, whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, whose combined capital and surplus is not less than $500,000 and said financial institution is hereby designated escrow agent (the "Escrow Agent") for the Escrow Account. All proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be received by the Escrow Agent and applied to fund the Escrow Account, to pay costs of issuing the Bonds or to fund the Debt Service Account. Proceeds of the Bonds not used to pay costs of issuance or to fund the Debt Service Account are hereby irrevocably pledged and appropriated to the Escrow Account, together with all investment earnings thereon. The Escrow Account will be invested in securities maturing or callable at the option of the holder on such dates and bearing interest at such rates as will be required to provide sufficient funds, together with any cash or other funds retained in the Escrow Account, to pay when due the interest to accrue on each Bond to and including February 1, 2013 (the "Redemption Date"), and to pay when due on the Redemption Date the principal amount of each of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding. From the Escrow Account there will be paid (i) all interest paid on, or to be paid on, or to accrue on, the Bonds to and including the Redemption Date, and (ii) the principal of the Refunded Bonds due by reason of redemption on the Redemption Date. The Escrow Account will be irrevocably appropriated to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds until the proceeds of the Bonds therein are applied to prepayment of the Refunded Bonds. The moneys in the Escrow Account will be used solely for the purposes herein set forth and for no other purpose, except that any surplus in the Escrow Account may be remitted to the City, all in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (hereafter defined) by and between the City and the Escrow Agent. Any moneys remitted to the City upon termination of the Escrow Agreement will be deposited in the Debt Service Account. (b) Debt Service Account. To the Debt Service Account there is hereby pledged and irrevocably appropriated and there will be credited: (i) any balance remitted to the City upon the termination of the Escrow Agreement; (ii) any balance remaining on 392123vl MNI MN190-140 February 2, 2013, in the Debt Service Fund created by the City Council resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of the Refunded Bonds (the "Prior Resolution"); (iii) any collections of all taxes hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon; (iv) all investment earnings on funds in the Debt Service Account; (v) after the Redemption Date, all taxes collected after the Redemption Date, pursuant to levies made in the Prior Resolution which levies will not be cancelled except as permitted by Section 475.61, Subdivision 3 of the Act; net revenues of the municipal sewer and water and storm sewer systems; tax increments resulting from increases in the taxable value of real property in a tax increment financing district in the City; and all special assessments pledged to the repayment of the Refunded Bonds in the Prior Resolution; (vi) Bond proceeds in the amount of $2,708.34; and (vii) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the City Council to the Debt Service Account. The amount of any surplus remaining in the Debt Service Account when the Bonds and interest thereon are paid will be used as provided in Section 475.61, Subdivision 4 of the Act. 4.02. Findings. It is hereby found and determined that based upon information presently available from the City's financial advisers, the issuance of the Bonds will result in a reduction of debt service cost to the City on the Refunded Bonds, such that the present value of such debt service or interest cost savings (the "Reduction") is at least 3.00% of the debt service on the Refunded Bonds. The Reduction, after the inclusion of all authorized expenses of refunding in the computation of the effective interest rate on the Bonds, is adequate to authorize the issuance of the Bonds as provided by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.67, Subdivisions 12 and 13. 4.03. Bona Fide Debt Service Account. The moneys in the Debt Service Account will be used solely to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds or any other bonds hereafter issued and made payable from the Fund. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds will 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 (i) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued, and (ii) in addition to the above, in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Fund (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 the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard as to yield will 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 will 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"). 4.04. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers 392123v1 MNI MN190-140 7 of the City will be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Escrow Account or 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 will be promptly paid out of monies in the general fund of the City which are available for such purpose, and such general fund may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Escrow Account or Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein. 4.05. Cancellation of Prior Levy After Redemption Date. It is hereby determined that upon the deposit of Proceeds and Funds in the Escrow Account (as such terms are defined in Section 5 hereof), an irrevocable appropriation to the debt service fund for the Refunded Bonds maturing after the Redemption Date will have been made within the meaning of Section 475.61, subdivision 3 of the Act and the City Administrator is hereby authorized and directed to certify such fact to and request the County Auditor/Treasurer to cancel any and all tax levies for taxes payable in 2014 and thereafter made by the resolution authorizing and approving the Refunded Bonds. 4.06. Pledge of Tax Levies. (a) To provide moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds maturing after the Redemption Date, there is hereby levied a direct annual irrepealable ad valorem tax upon all of the taxable properly in the City which will be spread upon the tax rolls and collected with and as part of other general taxes of the City. Such tax will be credited to the Debt Service Fund above provided and will be in the years and in the amounts as follows (year stated being year of collection): Year L yy (See EXHIBIT C) (b) The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of investment earnings (and until the Redemption Date, all amounts in the Escrow Account) and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies will be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3, as amended. 4.07. Filing. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the County Auditor/Treasurer of Wright County and to obtain the certificate required by Section 475.63 of the Act. 4.08. Prior Resolution Pledges. The pledges and covenants of the City made by the Prior Resolution relating to the tax increments and improvements financed, the ownership, protection of and other particulars governing the operation and financial management of the municipal water and 392123vl MINI N N190-140 8 sewer and storm sewer plant and system and the improvements thereto, the levy and collection of special assessments against property specially benefited by local improvements financed by the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds are restated and confirmed in all respects. The provisions of the Prior Resolution are hereby supplemented to the extent necessary to give full effect to the provisions of this resolution. Section 5. Refunding; Findings; Redemption of Refunded Bonds. 5.01. As of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $10,963,134.06 are hereby pledged and appropriated and will be deposited in the Escrow Account. 5.02. It is hereby found and determined that the Proceeds available and appropriated to the Escrow Account will be sufficient, together with the permitted earnings on the investment of the Escrow Account, to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds through the Redemption Date, and to pay at maturity or redemption all of the principal of and redemption premium (if any) on the Refunded Bonds. 5.03. Securities purchased from the monies in the Escrow Account will be limited to securities specified in Section 475.67, Subdivision 8 of the Act. Ehlers & Associates, Inc., as agent for the City of Monticello is hereby authorized and directed to purchase for and on behalf of the City of Monticello and in its name, appropriate securities to fund the Escrow Account. Upon the issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the securities so purchased will be deposited with the Escrow Agent and held pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and the Resolution. 5.04. The Refunded Bonds maturing on February 1, 2013 and thereafter will be redeemed and prepaid on the Redemption Date. The Refunded Bonds will be redeemed and prepaid in accordance with their terms and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Notice of Call for Redemption attached hereto as EXHIBIT D which terms and conditions are hereby approved and incorporated herein by reference. The Registrar for the Refunded Bonds is authorized and directed to send a copy of the Notice of Redemption to each registered holder of the Refunded Bonds. 5.05. Escrow Agreement. On or prior to the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, the Mayor and the City Administrator are hereby authorized and directed to execute on behalf of the City an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with the Escrow Agent in substantially the form now on file with the City Administrator. All essential terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement including payment by the City of reasonable charges for the services of the Escrow Agent, are hereby approved and adopted and made a part of this resolution, and the City covenants that it will promptly enforce all provisions thereof in the event of default thereunder by the Escrow Agent. 3921230 MNI MN190-140 9 Section 6.

Section 7. Tax Covenant. 7.01. The City covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds that it will not take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect at the time of such actions, and that it will take or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative action within its power that may be necessary to ensure that such interest will not become subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, as presently existing or as hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds. 7.02.

Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond will be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, and its successors and assigns ("DTC"). Except as provided in this section, all of the outstanding Bonds will be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. 8.02.

Section 9. Continuing Disclosure. 9.01. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.
