additional obligations, and accordingly the pledges and appropriations of Net Revenues to the payment of the respective portions of the Bonds pursuant to this Resolution are hereby made on a parity with any and all such prior pledges of Net Revenues. 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 (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5%) of the "Sale Proceeds" of the Bonds (being the "issue price" of the Bonds less accrued interest). To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Capital Account or Debt Service Account 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 said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. 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 federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 17. Assessments. It is hereby determined that no less than twenty percent (20%) of the cost to the City of the Chapter 429 Improvements financed hereunder within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 1(3), shall be paid by special assessments heretofore levied or to be levied hereafter against every assessable lot, piece and parcel of land benefitted by any of those Improvements. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will let all construction contracts not heretofore let within one (1) year after ordering each of said Improvements financed hereunder unless the resolution ordering said Improvement specifies a different time limit for the letting of construction contracts. The City hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the assessments or in the performance of any condition precedent thereto, the City and the Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. 1045757 22
