No person should purchase any Series 2001 Bonds without carefully reviewing the
following information, which summarizes some, but not all, of the factors that should be
carefully considered before such purchase.
Source of Repayment upon Mandatory Tender Date
No source of funds is presently available for the payment of the purchase price of the
Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds upon the Mandatory Tender Date. The ability of the
Borrower to pay the purchase price of the Bonds upon the Mandatory Tender thereof depends
upon the ability of the Borrower to either refinance the Project at that time or to remarket the
Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds at a price equal to par. The ability of the Borrower to obtain
refinancing of the Project, or to remarket the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds, could be
adversely affected based on a number of factors that can not be known at this time,including
but not limited to: adverse regulatory changes affecting Project operations, regulatory
changes disallowing tax exempt financing of the Project, adverse market conditions, a
change in Project revenues or expenses, and other factors that cannot be known with
certainty at this time.
If such refinancing is not possible,or the remarketing of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt
Bonds does not result in proceeds equal to the par amount of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt
Bonds, and the Borrower does not have sufficient other funds for repayment of the Series
2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds, a default will occur on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds, in
which case the Trustee has the right to accelerate payment of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt
Bonds and exercise its rights and remedies under the Indenture,the Loan Agreement and the
Mortgages, including foreclosing the Mortgages.
Dependence on Project Revenues
The payment of principal of,premium,if any,and interest on the Series 2001 Bonds
is intended to be made solely from payments of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement are nonrecourse and are payable
only from the Collateral. (See "The Loan Agreement - Loan Payments" in Appendix A to
this Official Statement.) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, recourse will be
available only against the assets of the Borrower subject to the Mortgage and the Subordinate
Mortgage(i.e.the Project). The ground lessor's interest in the Ground Lease will not be
subordinate to the Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage.
The Borrower has no significant assets other than the Project and the revenues
derived therefrom. If the Project does not generate sufficient revenues from its operations,
it is unlikely the Borrower will have other resources to make payments under the Loan
Agreement necessary to pay in full all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Series 2001 Bonds when due. The ability of the Borrower to make Loan Repayments will
therefore depend on the ability of the Borrower to maintain sufficient tenant occupancy in
the Project and to charge and collect sufficient rents and other charges.
The adequacy of future revenues of the Project to provide for all Project operating
requirements, including payment of debt service,will be subject to various future events or
conditions which cannot be accurately predicted, and which may be beyond the control of
the Borrower,including,but not limited to,the risks of inadequate occupancy;increased real
estate taxes; increased operating, maintenance or repair costs; and an inability to maintain
or raise rental rates or other charges because of (i) inadequate incomes of tenants or
prospective tenants, (ii) insufficient tenant demand, (iii) new or existing competition from
other assisted living and senior housing facilities, including owner-occupied housing, (iv)
decline in the attractiveness of the Project's amenities or location, (v) inferior management
or maintenance, (vi) general or local economic conditions, (vii) requirements with respect
to the maintenance of the tax-exempt status of the Sponsor, or (viii) other factors. The
economic viability of the Project may be adversely affected by changes in, or compliance
with, applicable laws,regulations and tax rates. There can be no assurance that the cost of
operating the Project will not exceed gross revenue therefrom. Some senior-oriented rental
housing facilities have experienced delay or reduced lease-up following completion, lower
than expected revenues, or higher than expected costs, and in both the national and local
markets some of such facilities have experienced financing defaults. For information with
respect to prospective marketing and leasing activities to be undertaken in connection with
the Project, and potential tenants, see Appendix B under the heading "The Project."
Lack of Operating Experience; Property Management
The Borrower was created in 2001 and has no experience in the ownership and
operation of senior housing facilities such as the Project. (See"The Borrower" in Appendix
B to this Official Statement.)
The Borrower will enter into a Management Agreement (the "Management
Agreement") with Great Lakes Management Company, a Minnesota corporation (the "
Manager"). Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager will provide
management services regarding all phases of the operation of the Project. The term of the
Management Agreement is limited to five (5) years, with a two (2) year renewable term,
subject to earlier termination as set forth in the Management Agreement. The executive
offices of the Manager are located at 5000 Glenwood Avenue, Suite 150, Golden Valley,
Minnesota. (See"The Project Management"in Appendix B to this Official Statement.)Upon
expiration or earlier termination of the Management Agreement, if the Borrower is unable
to enter into a new management agreement with the Manager on mutually acceptable terms
or to attract a comparable replacement manager in a timely manner, the revenues of the
Borrower from the Project may be adversely affected.
Construction Risks
Construction of any project is subject to the risks of cost overruns, noncompletion
and delays due to a variety of factors, including, among other things, site difficulties,
necessary design changes or final detailing,labor strife,delays in and shortages of materials,
weather conditions, fire and casualty. Any delay in the completion of the Project could
materially adversely affect the timely receipt of revenues required to pay the Series 2001
Bonds.
The Borrower has entered into a contract for construction of the Project with Frana
and Sons, Inc., Hopkins, Minnesota,which contract includes a guaranteed maximum price
of$5,208,000 for the construction of the Project Facilities. In addition,Dunbar Development
Corporation,Minneapolis,Minnesota,has been retained to act as the project coordinator of
the Project. The Borrower has also entered into an agreement with Miller, Hanson,
Westerbeck, Berger, Inc.,Minneapolis, Minnesota for the design of the Project. However,
no assurance or guarantee can be given that, in the event of nonperformance under any
contract or agreement described herein, the Borrower will make the required payments
pursuant thereto.
Damage or Destruction
Although the Borrower will be required to obtain certain insurance as set forth in the
Loan Agreement,there can be no assurance that the Project will not suffer losses for which
insurance cannot be or has not been obtained or that the amount of any such loss, or the
period during which the Project cannot generate revenues, will not exceed the coverage of
such insurance policies.
The Ground Lease
The HRA, pursuant to the Ground Lease, has leased to the Borrower the land upon
which the Project and related facilities will be located. The term of the Ground Lease is for
approximately ninety-nine(99)years unless sooner terminated. The lease payments of$1.00
per year will be prepaid at the closing on the Series 2001 Bonds. The Ground Lease is a"net
lease"to the HRA with all costs or expenses required to be paid by the Borrower. The HRA
is required to give any notice of a default under the Ground Lease, a termination of the
Ground Lease or a matter on which the HRA may claim a default to the Trustee, as
mortgagee under the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, and the Trustee has an
opportunity to cure any default within certain time periods. A termination of the Ground
Lease will render the Mortgage Property valueless. The HRA has not subordinated its
interest in the Ground Lease to the Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage. The HRA has
no obligation or responsibility for payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. See
"The Ground Lease" in Appendix A.
Competition
Presently,the Project faces competition from existing facilities and is likely to face
additional competition in the future either as a result of new construction or the renovation
of existing facilities. Such competition may be based on prices, services, amenities and
facilities, location,reputation,affiliation or other factors. Currently,there are no restrictive
regulatory or similar barriers to entry into the senior housing industry. No assurance can be
given that occupancy or rental rates of the Project will not be adversely affected by future
competition. At this time, the Borrower is not aware of any pending developments within
the primary market area of the Project. (See"The Project-Market Area and Competition" in
Appendix B to this Official Statement.) No assurance can be given that occupancy of the
Project or the level of rents to be charged will not be adversely affected by the availability
of the other senior housing facilities in the Project's market area and elsewhere.
Liability under Loan Agreement; Value of Mortgaged Property
The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement to repay the Loan
(whether by acceleration or otherwise)are nonrecourse against the Borrower and are secured
only by the Collateral. (See "The Loan Agreement-Loan and Loan Repayments" in
Appendix A to this Official Statement.) The Sponsor has no obligation under the Loan
Agreement and has not guaranteed the Borrower's obligations thereunder. Attempts to
foreclose under the Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage may be met with protracted
litigation and/or bankruptcy proceedings, which proceedings cause delays. (See
"ENFORCEABILITY OF OBLIGATIONS" herein.) Thus, there can be no assurance that
upon the occurrence of a default under the Loan Agreement, the Trustee will be able to
obtain possession of the Project and generate revenue therefrom in a timely fashion.
Furthermore,there can be no assurance that the Project,if sold upon default under the Loan
Agreement and foreclosure of the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, would realize
an amount sufficient to pay all outstanding Series 2001 Bonds, any outstanding Additional
Bonds and accrued interest.
Foreclosure as a Remedy
In the event of foreclosure under the Mortgage to pay the Senior Bonds,any proceeds
thereof will be used to pay the Senior Bonds. The Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage
constitute liens on the leasehold interest of the Borrower in the land on which the Project is
located and is subject to the Ground Lease. The Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage
also grant security interests in and assignments of all rents, revenues and profits of the
Project and the Trustee, as leasehold mortgagee, could, in the event of default under the
Series 2001 Bonds,pursue remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code. Foreclosure of
a leasehold mortgage,such as the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage,would only result
in the ability of the Trustee or its assigns to occupy the land on which the Project is located
in accordance with the terms of the Ground Lease. No fee title interest in such land could
be received under foreclosure.
Leasehold mortgage foreclosures in Minnesota are governed by statute and permit two
alternative methods, "by action" or"by advertisement." The latter is normally utilized since
it is slightly faster, less expensive and does not have the same tendency to invite contest as
does foreclosure by action. The process is normally initiated by the publication,recordation
and service of a notice of foreclosure. This notice must include all relevant information on
the mortgage loan and the secured premises as well as a statement of the time and place of
sale and the time allowed by law for redemption by the mortgagor. This notice must then be
published in a legal newspaper each week for six consecutive weeks. Service of the notice
on the mortgagor and any other affected party must be completed at least four weeks prior
to the designated date of the foreclosure sale. Compliance with the above publication and
service of notice requirements within the prescribed time limitations is essential to the
validity of the mortgage foreclosure sale.
Prior to the foreclosure sale,the mortgagor has the right to reinstate the mortgage and
prevent foreclosure by curing all defaults on a current basis and by paying attorney's fees and
out-of-pocket disbursements to the extent permitted by statute. If the mortgage is not
reinstated, the foreclosure sale is held in the sheriff's office in the county in which the real
estate being foreclosed is located. Although anyone can bid at a foreclosure sale,the normal
result of the foreclosure sale is that the lender bids in the debt without competing bidders,
and purchases the mortgaged property from the defaulting borrower through the sheriff,
subject to the rights of the borrower and subsequent creditors to redeem.
The holding of such foreclosure sale starts the period of redemption running. The
period of redemption will normally be six months but can be as long as twelve months.
During the period of redemption, the mortgagor normally retains the right to remain in
possession of the mortgaged property without making mortgage payments or paying real
estate taxes(subject to the mortgagee's rights to the assignment of leases and rents). During
the period of redemption, the mortgagor has the right to pay off the entire indebtedness,
including full principal, accrued interest, any amounts reasonably paid by the mortgagee to
preserve the security,and attorney's fees and disbursements to the extent allowed by statute.
If a receiver is appointed under the assignment of rents provision of a mortgage, such
receiver will collect all rents and revenues during the foreclosure proceedings. See "The
Mortgage -- Assignment of Leases and Rents" in Appendix A.
After the period of redemption expires,the mortgagee is entitled to possession of the
premises, but may have to bring an unlawful detainer proceeding to enforce its possessory
rights, and a proceeding subsequent in the case of Torrens property to perfect its title to the
mortgaged property.
It is not unusual, therefore, for a mortgagee to be delayed for up to 10 months or
longer from the date of initiation of the mortgage foreclosure proceeding until it realizes its
possessory rights.
Reliance on the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage as a Remedy
The Borrower will execute the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage on the
Project in favor of the City to secure the Borrower's obligations pursuant to the Loan
Agreement. The City will assign its interest in the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage
to the Trustee. Because the Borrower has limited financial assets other than the Project, if
there is a default under the Indenture, the primary remedy of the Trustee is to foreclose on
the real and personal property security granted pursuant to the Mortgage and the Subordinate
Mortgage. Under certain circumstances, such as a payment default on a series of Bonds,the
Trustee has the right to foreclose on the Borrower's leasehold interest in the land on which
the Project is located and to pursue remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code with
respect to the Project. All amounts collected upon foreclosure of the Project pursuant to the
Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage are to be used to pay certain costs and expenses
incurred by, or otherwise related to, the foreclosure, the performance of the Trustee and/or
the beneficiary under the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage,and then to pay amounts
owed under the Indenture in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.
Any valuation of the Project is based on future projections of income, expenses and
capitalization rates throughout the term of the Ground Lease. Additionally,the value of the
Project will at all times be dependent upon many factors beyond the control of the Borrower,
such as changes in general and local economic conditions, changes in the supply of or
demand for competing properties in the same locality,and changes in real estate and zoning
laws or other regulatory restrictions. A material change in any of these factors could
materially change the value of the Project. Any weakened market condition may also depress
the value of the Project. Any reduction in the market value of the Project will adversely
affect the security available to the owners of the Series 2001 Bonds. There is no assurance
that the amount available upon foreclosure of the Project after the payment of foreclosure
costs will be sufficient to pay the amounts owed by the Borrower on the Series 2001 Bonds.
In the event of foreclosure,it is unlikely that the Project could be sold at 100%of its
estimated fair market value since the Ground Lease may have an adverse effect on value.
Except as described below, the Series 2001 Bonds will have available, under certain
circumstances described herein, the remedy of foreclosure of the Mortgage and the
Subordinate Mortgage in the event of a default(after giving effect to any applicable grace
periods,and subject to any legal rights which may operate to delay or stay such foreclosure,
such as may be applicable in the event of the Borrower's bankruptcy),there are substantial
risks that the exercise of such a remedy will not result in recovery of sufficient funds to pay
amounts due on the Series 2001 Bonds.
In the event that a leasehold mortgage is actually foreclosed,then,in addition to the
customary costs and expenses of operating and maintaining the Project,the party or parties
succeeding to the interest of the Borrower in the Project(including the Trustee on behalf of
Bondholders)could be required to bear certain associated costs and expenses,which could
include: the cost of complying with federal, state or other laws, ordinances and regulations
related to the removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances, the cost of
complying with laws, ordinances and regulations related to health and safety, and the
continued use and occupancy of the Project;such as the Americans with Disabilities Act;and
costs associated with the potential reconstruction or repair of the Project in the event of any
casualty or condemnation.
Enforceability of Remedies
The Series 2001 Bonds are payable from the Loan Repayments to be made by the
Borrower under the Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Mortgage, the Senior Bonds are
secured by a first leasehold mortgage lien on,first security interest in,and an assignment of
leases and rents of,the Mortgaged Property and,pursuant to the Subordinated Mortgage,the
Subordinate Bonds are secured by a second leasehold mortgage lien on, a second security
interest in,and an assignment of leases and rents of,the Mortgaged Property. The practical
realization of any recovery upon a default will depend upon the exercise of various remedies
specified by the Indenture, the Mortgage, the Subordinate Mortgage and the Loan
Agreement. These and other remedies may,in many respects,require judicial actions,which
are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existing law,the remedies specified in the
Indenture,the Mortgage, the Subordinated Mortgage and the Loan Agreement may not be
readily available or may be limited. A court may decide not to order the specific
performance of the covenants contained in those documents. The various legal opinions to
be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series 2001 Bonds will be qualified as to
the enforceability of the various legal instruments by limitations imposed by state and federal
laws,rulings and decisions affecting remedies and by bankruptcy,insolvency,reorganization,
moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights.
If the Borrower were to file a petition under the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978,as
amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), the Bankruptcy Code would limit the ability of the
Trustee to exercise rights in the collateral under the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage.
If the Borrower were to file a plan of reorganization, such plan could include provisions
modifying or altering the rights of creditors, including the Bondholders. Among other
conditions, any such plan, in order to be confirmed, would have to be determined by the
bankruptcy court to be in the best interests of creditors and feasible, and either be accepted
by creditors of each class impaired thereby, or, if not so accepted,be determined to be fair
and equitable and not to discriminate unfairly in favor of any class of claims or interests.
Notwithstanding that repayment of the Series 2001 Bonds is secured by assignments of rents
and leases of and liens on the Mortgaged Property, a bankruptcy of the Borrower could
impose significant risks of delay, limitation or modification of the Bondholders' rights
against the Borrower. These risks include,without limitation,the risk that the interest rates
on and repayment and other terms of the Series 2001 Bonds could be modified in bankruptcy
proceedings,and, if the value of the collateral for the Series 2001 Bonds, as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction,is less than the full amount due on the Series 2001 Bonds,
the Series 2001 Bonds may not be repaid in full.
Termination or Reduction of Tax Increment Assistance
Under certain circumstances as discussed herein under "TAX INCREMENT
ASSISTANCE,"the Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority's ongoing tax increment
assistance with respect to the Project Facilities may terminate or be reduced. Such
termination or reduction could adversely affect the ability of the Borrower to make its Loan
Repayments with respect to debt service on the Series 2001 Bonds. Also,the tax increment
assistance ends approximately 12 years before the final maturity of the Series 2001 Bonds.
Uncontrollable Factors. The amount of tax increment assistance to be received in
each year is dependent on(i)the extent to which the Project is taxable,(ii)the market value
of the Project, (iii) the aggregate amount by which that market value, after applying the
applicable "class rate" ratios for the various parcels of property, results in an incremental
increase in current taxable value ("current tax capacity") over the original taxable value
("original tax capacity")of the property,(iv)the aggregate rate of property tax levies imposed
by the applicable taxing jurisdictions,which is included in the calculations of tax increment
on the Project(collectively,the"tax capacity rate"or"local tax rate"),and(v)changes in law
which affect any of the foregoing factors.
Changes in Law. Changes in State law through legislative enactment, judicial
interpretation or administrative ruling, may reduce the maximum amount of property tax
levies by taxing jurisdictions,substitute alternative revenue sources for property taxes to pay
for government services, expand the circumstances under which property ceases to be
taxable, adversely affect market value,limit the taxable value of property or otherwise shift
the burden of paying property taxes between various types of property, or modify remedies
for collecting taxes, resulting in a reduction in the tax increment assistance. Such changes
may include constitutional and statutory limitations on the rate of property taxation, the
growth in the taxable valuation of property and the percentage of the market value of
property subject to taxation.
Income Restrictions
In order to qualify for the tax increment assistance,the Borrower is required to lease
at least 20% of the units in the Project to tenants whose incomes do not exceed 50%of the
median gross income for the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, adjusted for family
size. These limitations on tenant incomes may in the future limit the revenues which can be
generated by the Project, which must be sufficient to pay operating costs of the Project and
to pay principal of and interest on the Series 2001 Bonds. In the event that Project revenues
are not sufficient to pay operating costs of the Project and to pay principal of and interest on
the Bonds, the Borrower would be in default under the Loan Agreement, and such default
could result in an acceleration of the Series 2001 Bonds. See "TAX INCREMENT
ASSISTANCE."
Financial Forecast
The forecasted financial statements prepared by the Borrower and examined by
Virchow, Krause & Co., LLP, Minneapolis, Minnesota, are based upon assumptions made
by the Borrower. No assurance can be given that the results described in the financial
forecast will be achieved,or that there has been no change in underlying considerations since
the date of the financial forecast. The Borrower does not intend to issue additional forecasts
and, accordingly, there are risks inherent in using the financial forecast in the future as it
becomes outdated. The financial forecast is only for the years ending December 31, 2001
through 2006 and does not cover the entire period during which the Series 2001 Bonds may
be outstanding.
No guaranty can be made that the financial forecast will correspond with the results
actually achieved in the future because there is no assurance that actual events will
correspond with the assumptions made by management of the Borrower. For example, the
financial forecasts make certain assumptions as to demand for senior housing facilities and
anticipated rent increases during the forecast period. These assumptions have been the
subject of a market study. Inevitably, the Borrower's actual future operations and financial
condition will differ from those projected, and actual future events and conditions will differ
from those assumed by the Borrower. Such differences may be material and adverse. Actual
operating results may be affected by many factors, including, but not limited to, increased
costs, lower than anticipated revenues (as a result of insufficient occupancy, low rental
rates, concessions or otherwise), taxes, changes in demographic trends, changes in the
housing industries and local and general economic conditions. The financial forecast, which
appears in Appendix C should be read in its entirety
Market Study
The ultimate success of the Project and the future sufficiency of revenues to timely
pay all debt on the Series 2001 Bonds and Operating Expenses is dependent on the existence
of adequate tenant demand for units in the Project at anticipated rental rates. The speed at
which the Project's units are initially filled following completion is critical, as well as
maintenance of the long-term occupancy levels of the Project. The projections of the
Project's cash flow set forth in Appendix C hereto assume certain periods for the Project's
initial fill-up, rental rates and occupancy levels. Such assumptions, in turn, are based on
recommendations from Maxfield Research,Inc. ("Maxfield")who prepared a market study
for the Project(the "Market Study"). According to Maxfield, the recommendations in the
Market Study reflect a conclusion by Maxfield that an immediate need exists for the
recommended facilities, without the expression of an opinion as to long-term need. See
Appendix B under the heading"The Project-Market Area and Competition"and Appendix
D for a summary of the Market Study.
The revenue assumptions of the Borrower in the projections of operations are based
on the recommendations contained in the Market Study. Further, the Borrower believes
Maxfield is experienced and reputable in its field. Nevertheless, the conclusions of the
Market Study reflect only the opinions of Maxfield and are no guarantee that actual demand
exists or will continue to exist to support the assumptions of the Borrower. ACTUAL
LEASE-UP AND OCCUPANCY OF THE PROJECT FACILITIES IN THE FUTURE
WILL VARY FROM CONCLUSIONS IN THE MARKET STUDY,WHICH VARIANCE
MAY BE MATERIAL AND ADVERSE. IF, AMONG OTHER THINGS, INITIAL
LEASE-UP OF THE PROJECT FACILITIES IS MATERIALLY SLOWER OR RENTAL
RATES ARE MATERIALLY LESS THAN ASSUMED BY THE SELLER AND THE
BORROWER BASED ON THE MARKET STUDY,REVENUES WILL BE LESS THAN
PROJECTED, AND PERHAPS MATERIALLY LESS.
Risks of Subordinate Bonds '
THE SUBORDINATE BONDS ARE SPECULATIVE SECURITIES AND ARE
SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RISKS. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OF
SUBORDINATE BONDS SHOULD MAKE SUCH INVESTIGATIONS AND OBTAIN
SUCH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION DIRECTLY FROM THE BORROWER AND
OTHERS AS THEY DEEM ADVISABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THEIR
EVALUATION OF THE SUITABILITY OF THE SUBORDINATE BONDS FOR
INVESTMENT.
BEFORE PURCHASING ANY OF THE SUBORDINATE BONDS,
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS AND THEIR PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE ABOVE AND THE
FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS,WHICH ARE NOT MEANT TO BE AN EXHAUSTIVE
LISTING OF ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE
SUBORDINATE BONDS. THE ORDER OF PRESENTATION OF THESE RISK
FACTORS DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE ORDER OF THEIR
IMPORTANCE. POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR
WITH THIS ENTIRE OFFICIAL STATEMENT INCLUDING THE APPENDICES
HERETO IN ORDER TO MAKE A JUDGMENT AS TO WHETHER THE
SUBORDINATE BONDS ARE AN APPROPRIATE INVESTMENT.
PURCHASE OF THE SUBORDINATE BONDS WILL CONSTITUTE AN
INVESTMENT SUBJECT TO A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK,INCLUDING THE RISK OF
NONPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST AND SEVERELY LIMITED
REMEDIES AND SECURITY.
General
THE SUBORDINATE BONDS ARE SECURED BY A SUBORDINATE LIEN ON
THE PROJECT WHICH IS WHOLLY SUBORDINATE TO THE MORTGAGE
SECURING THE SENIOR BONDS. SO LONG AS THE SENIOR BONDS REMAIN
OUTSTANDING,THE TRUSTEE'S ABILITY TO EXERCISE REMEDIES UNDER THE
SUBORDINATE MORTGAGE IS SEVERELY LIMITED. A DEFAULT WITH RESPECT
TO THE SENIOR BONDS DOES NOT, EXCEPT UNDER CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES, CONSTITUTE A DEFAULT ON THE SUBORDINATE BONDS,
AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO THE TRUSTEE AND THE SUBORDINATE
BONDHOLDERS IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT ON THE SUBORDINATE BONDS
ARE SEVERELY LIMITED.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinate Bonds is and shall be subordinate in
right of payment to the prior payment in full of all the indebtedness evidenced by the Senior
Bonds to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture. The Subordinate Bonds are
and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to the liens, terms, covenants and
conditions of the Senior Bonds. The rights and remedies of the holder and each subsequent
holder of the Subordinate Bonds under the Indenture are subject to the restrictions and
limitations set forth in the Indenture. Nothing in the Indenture shall be construed to prohibit
current payment of amounts due with respect to the Subordinate Bonds if all payments then
currently due under the Senior Bonds have been made.
The obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement securing the Subordinate
Bonds are nonrecourse as to the Borrower, and as such are limited to the assets of the
Borrower(which consist solely of the Project and which are subject to the Mortgage), and
the amounts held in the funds and accounts(other than the Rebate Fund) established under
the Indenture. Future revenues and expenses of the Borrower and the Project are subject to
conditions which may change in the future to an extent that cannot be determined at this
time.
No representations or assurances can be made that Revenues will be realized by the
Borrower in the amounts necessary and at the times required to make any payments with
respect to, or in amounts sufficient to pay, the principal of and interest on the Subordinate
Bonds or that the Trustee, upon taking of remedial action under the Indenture and the Loan
Agreement, will be able to realize amounts sufficient for such purpose. The remedies
available to the Trustee in the event of a default in connection with the Subordinate Bonds
are severely limited. See "—Risks of Subordination" below.
Risks of Subordination
The obligation of the Borrower to make payments under the Loan Agreement with
respect to the Subordinate Bonds and the enforcement of remedies under the Subordinate
Mortgage are subject to substantial limitations imposed by the Indenture,which limitations
may affect the timely and ultimate payment of principal of and interest on the Subordinate
Bonds.
The Trustee may not exercise any remedies upon an Event of Default with respect to
the Subordinate Bonds unless the Senior Bonds are paid in full, and any action taken by the
Trustee to enforce the Subordinate Mortgage shall be subject to the provisions of the
Mortgage.
Because the Subordinate Bonds will be secured by a second lien that is subordinate
and junior to the Mortgage, the proceeds from any liquidation, insurance or condemnation
proceedings with respect to the Project will be available to satisfy the outstanding balance
of the Subordinate Bonds only to the extent that the claims of the mortgagee under the
Mortgage have been satisfied in full,including any related foreclosure costs. In addition,the
Trustee as subordinate mortgagee may not foreclose on the Project unless it forecloses
subject to the Mortgage, in which case it must either pay the entire amount due on the
Mortgage at or prior to the foreclosure sale or undertake the obligation to make payments on
the Mortgage in the event the Borrower is in default thereunder. The Trustee will not have
any other source of funds to satisfy the Mortgage or make payments due on the Mortgage.
An overall decline in the residential real estate market, the general condition of the
Project, or other factors, could adversely affect the value of the Project such that the
outstanding balance of the Subordinate Bonds, together with that of the Senior Bonds,
exceeds the value of the Project. A decline in the value of the Project would affect the
interest of the Trustee as subordinate mortgagee in the Project before having any effect on
the interest of the senior mortgagee, and could cause the Trustee's interest in the Project, as
subordinate mortgagee, to be extinguished.
Maintenance of Sponsor's Tax-Exempt Status
The exclusion of interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds from gross income
for federal income tax purposes depends on,among other things,the continued status of the
Sponsor as a nonprofit charitable organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code
("501(c)(3) Organization"). The Sponsor's counsel, Christoffel & Elliott, P.A., St. Paul,
Minnesota,on the date of issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds,will deliver its opinion that the
Sponsor is a 501(c)(3)Organization. The Sponsor submitted an application for and obtained
recognition from the Internal Revenue Service of its status as a 501(c)(3) organization.
However, such status might be revoked, and perhaps retroactively, for material
noncompliance with factual representations made in the Sponsor's application. A revocation
of tax-exempt status or a tax penalty could result if the Internal Revenue Service found that
there has been private inurement to any individual or for-profit entity as a result of the
transactions contemplated in this Official Statement. Any such revocation likely would
render the interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds includable in federal gross income
and would cause a mandatory redemption of all Series 2001 Bonds.
Tax Exemption
The tax-exempt status of the interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds is
conditioned upon the Borrower and the Sponsor complying with the requirements of the Act,
the Code,as amended,and applicable Treasury Regulations as they relate to the Series 2001
Tax-Exempt Bonds. Failure of the Borrower to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Loan Agreement, the Indenture and other documents as described herein may result in the
loss of the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds retroactive
to the date of issuance of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds. (See "TAX EXEMPTION"
herein.) Holders of Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds will not receive any additional interest
to compensate them for federal income taxes,interest and penalties which may be assessed
with respect to such interest. The Series 2001 Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption
upon a Determination of Taxability,at a redemption price equal to par,plus accrued interest,
and unless the Borrower delivers to the Trustee a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that the Determination of Taxability was not caused by an action taken or not taken by
the Borrower,plus a premium equal to 3%of the principal amount of the Series 2001 Bonds
to be redeemed. There can be no assurance that sufficient money would be available in such
event to redeem the Series 2001 Bonds. Further, there can be no assurance that a
Determination of Taxability will follow promptly the events which give rise to the
Determination of Taxability, so that tax obligations may accrue for substantial periods
preceding the redemption of Series 2001 Bonds upon a Determination of Taxability. If
interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds should become includable in gross income for purposes
of federal income taxation,the market for and value of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds
would be adversely affected. (See "TAX EXEMPTION" herein.)
Lack of Secondary Market
The Underwriter expects to effect secondary market trading in the Series 2001 Bonds.
However,the Underwriter will not be obligated to make a market in the Series 2001 Bonds
or purchase Series 2001 Bonds upon request. It is not expected that an active trading market
for the Series 2001 Bonds will develop and,particularly because the Series 2001 Bonds are
unrated, liquidity of the Series 2001 Bonds may be limited. Adverse developments,
including insufficient cash flow from the Project Facilities,may have an unfavorable effect
upon the price for the Series 2001 Bonds in the secondary market or upon a Bondholder's
ability to sell the Series 2001 Bonds.
Absence of Rating
The Series 2001 Bonds have not received a credit rating from any organization
engaged in the business of publishing such ratings. Typically,unrated bonds lack liquidity
in the secondary market compared to rated bonds. As a result of the foregoing, the Series
2001 Bonds are believed to bear interest at higher rates than would prevail for bonds with
comparable maturities and redemption provisions that have investment grade ratings.
Nevertheless, Series 2001 Bonds should not be purchased by any investor who, because of
financial condition,investment policies or otherwise,does not desire to assume,or have the
ability to bear, the risks inherent in an investment in the Series 2001 Bonds.
Other Factors
An investment in the Series 2001 Bonds, involves a substantial element of risk. In
order to identify risk factors and make an informed investment decision,potential investors
should be thoroughly familiar with this entire Official Statement in order to make a judgment
as to whether the Series 2001 Bonds are an appropriate investment. Purchasers of the Series
2001 Bonds, particularly purchasers that are corporations (including S corporations and
foreign corporations operating branches in the United States of America), property or
casualty insurance companies, banks, thrifts or other financial institutions or certain
recipients of Social Security benefits, are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the tax
consequences of purchasing or holding the Series 2001 Bonds.
Summary
The foregoing is intended only as a summary of certain risk factors attendant to an
investment in the Series 2001 Bonds. In order for potential investors to identify risk factors
and make an informed decision,potential investors should be thoroughly familiar with this
entire Official Statement and the appendices hereto.

Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard,Inc.will serve as Remarketing Agent will respect
to the remarketing of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt bonds.
Book-Entry Only System
The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, will act as securities
depository for the Series 2001 Bonds. The Series 2001 Bonds will be issued as fully-
registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee).
One fully registered Series 2001 Bond certificate will be issued for each of the maturities in
the aggregate principal amount of each such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC.
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking
Law,a"banking organization"within the meaning of the New York Banking Law,a member
of the Federal Reserve System,a"clearing corporation"within the meaning of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code,and a"clearing agency"registered pursuant to the provisions of
Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that its
participants ("Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among
Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants' accounts, thereby
eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. "Direct Participants"
include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and
certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the
New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc. and the National
Association of Securities Dealers,Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others
such as securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies that clear through or
maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly
("Indirect Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Purchases of the Series 2001 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or
through Direct Participants,which will receive a credit for the Series 2001 Bonds on DTC's
records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2001 Bond
("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants'
records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their
purchase, but Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing
details of the transaction,as well as periodic statements of their holdings,from the Direct or
Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.
Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2001 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries
made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners
will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Series 2001 Bonds,
except in the event that use of the book- entry system for the Series 2001 Bonds is
discontinued.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2001 Bonds deposited by Participants
with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co. The
deposit of Series 2001 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co.
effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial
Owners of the Series 2001 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct
Participants to whose accounts such Series 2001 Bonds are credited,which may or may not
be the Beneficial Owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of
their holdings on behalf of their customers.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants,by
Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect
Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject
to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the Series 2001 Bonds
within a maturity are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of
the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede&Co.will consent or vote with respect to Series 2001 Bonds.
Under its usual procedures,DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to the City as soon as possible
after the applicable record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or
voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Series 2001 Bonds are
credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).
So long as Cede & Co. is a record owner of the Series 2001 Bonds, Cede & Co.
shall be entitled to all applicable voting rights and to receive the full amount of all
distributions payable with respect thereto. DTC will treat any Participant having Series 2001
Bonds credited to its DTC accounts as entitled to the full benefits of ownership of such
Series 2001 Bonds. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence,DTC will treat
any Participant having Series 2001 Bonds credited to its DTC accounts as entitled to receive
distributions(and voting rights,if any)in respect of Series 2001 Bonds,and to receive from
DTC certificates evidencing Series 2001 Bonds.
Principal,premium, if any, and interest payments on the Series 2001 Bonds will be
made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the payable date
in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason
to believe that it will not receive payment on the payable date. Payments by Participants to
Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is
the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
"street name,"and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC,the City,the
Borrower or the Trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in
effect from time to time. Payment of principal,premium, if any, and interest to DTC is the
responsibility of the Trustee,disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants shall be
the responsibility of DTC,and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall
be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to
the Series 2001 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the City or the Trustee.
Under such circumstances,in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained,
physical Series 2001 Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. Further,the Borrower
may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a
successor securities depository). In that event, physical Series 2001 Bonds will be printed
and delivered.
The foregoing description concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system is based
solely on information provided by DTC, and neither the City, the Borrower nor the
Underwriter takes responsibility for the accuracy thereof and no representation is made
herein as to the accuracy or completeness of such information.
The City, the Borrower and the Trustee cannot and do not give any assurances that
DTC, DTC Participants, Direct Participants or Indirect Participants will distribute to the
Beneficial Owners(i)payments of interest,principal or premium,if any,with respect to the
Series 2001 Bonds,(ii)certificates representing ownership interest in or other confirmation
of ownership interest in the Series 2001 Bonds, or(iii) redemption or other notices sent to
DTC or Cede& Co., its nominee, as the registered owner of the Series 2001 Bonds, or that
they will do so on a timely basis or that DTC, DTC Participants, Direct Participants or
Indirect Participants will act in the manner described in this Official Statement. The current
"Rules" applicable to DTC are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
the current"Procedures"of DTC to be followed in dealing with DTC Participants are on file
with DTC.
BENEFICIAL OWNERS WILL NOT RECEIVE PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF
SERIES 2001 BONDS AND WILL NOT BE RECOGNIZED BY THE TRUSTEE AS
OWNERS THEREOF, AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS WILL BE PERMITTED TO
EXERCISE THE RIGHTS OF OWNERS ONLY INDIRECTLY THROUGH DTC AND
THE PARTICIPANTS.
Payments Upon Abandonment of Book-Entry Only System
In the event that the book-entry-only system described above is no longer used with
respect to the Series 2001 Bonds, interest on the Series 2001 Bonds will be payable to the
persons whose names appear on the registration books of the Trustee as Holders thereof as
of the fifteenth day of the month next preceding an Interest Payment Date (each a "Record
Date")by check or draft mailed by first-class mail,postage prepaid,on the Interest Payment
Date to such Owner at his or her address as it appears on the registration books. However,
at the written request of an Owner of at least $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Series 2001 Bonds filed with the Trustee prior to any Record Date, interest on
such Series 2001 Bonds is to be paid to such Owner by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account in the continental United States designated in such written
request. Principal of and redemption premium, if any, are payable upon presentation and
surrender of the Series 2001 Bond at the maturity or the prior redemption thereof at the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee.
Transfer and Exchange Upon Abandonment of Book-Entry Only System
In the event that the book-entry-only system described above is no longer used,upon
receipt by the Trustee of the outstanding Series 2001 Bonds, new Series 2001 Bonds are to
be authenticated and delivered in such denominations(of$5,000 and multiples thereof)and
registered as provided in the Indenture. Thereafter,the registration of any Series 2001 Bond
may be transferred upon the registration books by the person in whose name it is registered,
in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Series 2001 Bond for
cancellation, accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer in
a form acceptable to the Trustee. The City shall thereupon execute and the Trustee
authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Series 2001 Bond or Series 2001 Bonds of
like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Any Series 2001 Bond may be exchanged for an
equal aggregate principal amount of Series 2001 Bonds of any authorized denominations at
the option of the Owner thereof upon the surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust
office of the Trustee. The City and the Trustee will not be required to register any such
transfer of or to exchange any Series 2001 Bond after the mailing of notice calling such
Series 2001 Bond for redemption has been given or during the 15 days preceding the giving
of any notice of redemption.
Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen Series 2001 Bonds
If any mutilated Series 2001 Bond is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,loss or theft of any Series 2001 Bond
and there is delivered to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Trustee to save the City and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Trustee that such Series 2001 Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,the City shall
execute and upon the City's request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of such mutilated,destroyed,lost or stolen Series 2001 Bond,a new Series 2001
Bond of like tenor,principal amount,stated maturity and interest rate,bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Series 2001 Bond has become
or is about to become due and payable,the Trustee may,instead of issuing a new Series 2001
Bond, pay such Series 2001 Bond.
Upon the issuance of any new Series 2001 Bond as described under this section,the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses(including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee, the City and the Borrower) connected therewith.
SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2001 BONDS
Limited Obligations; No Pledge of Taxing Authority
The Series 2001 Bonds are special,limited revenue obligations of the City and do not
constitute an indebtedness, a pecuniary liability, a moral or general obligation or a loan of
the credit of the City or a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or equitable, against the City's
property,general credit or taxing powers. Principal of,premium,if any, and interest on the
Series 2001 Bonds are payable solely out of (i) the revenues derived from the Loan
Repayments made to the City by the Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement,(ii)amounts
available therefor in the Debt Service Reserve Fund with respect to the Senior Bonds and
other funds held under the Indenture,and(iii)under certain circumstances,amounts realized
upon the sale or other disposition of the Mortgaged Property under the Mortgage and the
Subordinate Mortgage. The right of the City to receive Loan Repayments under the Loan
Agreement will be pledged and a security interest therein granted by the City to the Trustee
as security for the payment of the Series 2001 Bonds.
Neither the State of Minnesota nor any political subdivision thereof shall in any
event be liable for the payment of the principal of, premium,if any, or interest on the
Series 2001 Bonds or the performance of any pledge,mortgage,obligation or agreement
of any kind whatsoever that may be undertaken by the City. Neither the Series 2001
Bonds nor any of the agreements or obligations of the City contained in the Indenture
or the Loan Agreement shall be construed to constitute(a)an indebtedness of the State
of Minnesota,the City or any other political subdivision of the State within the meaning
of any constitutional or statutory limitations,or(b)a general or moral obligation of the
City.
Loan Repayments; Assignment of Loan Agreement
Under the Indenture, the City has pledged its interest in the Loan Agreement
(including the amounts payable thereunder to the City by the Borrower,but excluding certain
rights to payment of fees, expenses and indemnification)to the Trustee to secure the Series
2001 Bonds. The amounts payable under the Loan Agreement as Loan Repayments are
payable directly to the Trustee and will be sufficient, if paid promptly and in full, to make
all repayments of principal of and premium,if any,and interest on Outstanding Series 2001
Bonds as the same become due,at maturity,upon redemption and prepayment or otherwise.
The Trustee will be authorized to exercise the rights of the City and to enforce the
obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement is a
nonrecourse obligation of the Borrower and the obligations of the Borrower to make Loan
Repayments thereunder are secured solely from the Collateral. Upon any occurrence of an
Event of Default, recourse will be available only against the assets of the Borrower subject
to the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage. (See "The Loan Agreement" in Appendix
A to this Official Statement.)
Rate Covenant; Retention of Management Consultant
The Borrower shall operate the Project, subject to applicable requirements or
restrictions imposed by law, such that Net Revenues Available for Debt Service in each
calendar quarter,commencing with the calendar quarter ending September 30,2003,will be
at least 110% of Maximum Debt Service Requirements during such calendar quarter. The
foregoing is subject to the qualification that if requirements necessary for the Sponsor to
maintain its status as a 501(c)(3) Organization, or applicable state or federal laws or
regulations, or the rules and regulations of agencies have jurisdiction, shall not permit the
Borrower to produce the foregoing level of Net Revenues Available for Debt Service, then
the Borrower shall, in conformity with the then prevailing requirements, laws, rules or
regulations, maintain the maximum permissible level.
If for any two consecutive calendar quarters ending on or after December 31, 2003,
Net Revenues Available for Debt Service are less than 110%of Debt Service Requirements
for such periods, then the Borrower will promptly employ an Independent Management
Consultant to review and analyze the financial reports required to be made by the Borrower
and inspect the Project, its operation and administration.
Revenue Fund
Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, on or before the 15th day of each calendar
month (or if such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), the
Borrower is required to deposit with the Trustee all Monthly Net Project Revenues and all
Tax Increment Revenues. Upon receipt, the Trustee shall deposit such amounts in the
Revenue Fund. After the Completion Date,all investment income from any fund or account
created herein, shall be deposited upon receipt in the Revenue Fund to the extent not
otherwise directed in the Indenture. On each Monthly Transfer Date of each calendar month
during and after which any portion of the Project is placed in use, the Trustee shall transfer
amounts in the Revenue Fund(first from investment income deposited therein and then from
other amounts)to the following funds and accounts,the amounts set forth in the Indenture,
in the following priority: (a) first,to the Rebate Fund; (b) second,to the Trustee to pay any
unpaid due and owing Ordinary Trustee Fees and Expenses; (c) third, to the Taxes and
Insurance Fund; (d) fourth,to the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund; (e) fifth,
to the Debt Service Reserve Fund; (f) sixth,commencing in November,2003,to the Repair
and Replacement Fund; (g) seventh, to the Operating Reserve Fund; (h) eighth, to the
than from Project Revenues;(i)ninth,to the Subordinate Debt Service Account of the Bond
Fund; (j-i) tcntl ninth, to the Manager, the Subordinated Management Fee; and (Ici)
elcverrthtenth, to the Surplus Fund, all remaining amounts in the Revenue Fund.
Debt Service Reserve Fund
On the date of issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds, from proceeds of the Series 2001
Bonds, an amount equal to $579,438* will be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Fund
created pursuant to the Indenture. Investment earnings on amounts held in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund are to be deposited in the Revenue Fund provided that the balance in the Debt
Service Reserve Fund equals the Debt Service Reserve Requirement. Amounts held in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund may be used by the Trustee to pay principal of or interest on the
Senior Bonds if amounts available therefor in the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond
Fund are insufficient for such purpose. On any date on which amounts in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund are less than the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, the amount of such
deficiency shall be transferred first, from amounts in the Surplus Fund, second, from
amounts in the Subordinate Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund, and third, from
amounts in the Repair and Replacement Fund. In the event that following such transfers
amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Fund remain less than •
Debt Service Reserve Fund. An$285,000,then an Event of Default shall occur at the end of
such period if the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund is below$285,000.,
If the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Fund exceeds the Debt Service Reserve
Requirement, the excess is to be transferred to the Revenue Fund. Amounts in the Debt
Service Reserve Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments as defined in the Indenture.
Repair and Replacement Fund
The Trustee shall maintain a Repair and Replacement Fund established under the
Indenture. Under the Loan Agreement, commencing in November, 2003, the Trustee will
transfer amounts in the Revenue Fund to the Repair and Replacement Fund in an amount
equal to the Monthly Repair and Replacement Deposit, initially $775. All investment
income from funds on hand in the Repair and Replacement Fund are to be deposited in the
Revenue Fund. Under certain circumstances,moneys in the Repair and Replacement Fund
may be transferred to the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund to make payments
on the Senior Bonds.
Subject to conditions imposed by the Indenture, amounts held in the Repair and
Replacement Fund are to be disbursed by the Trustee as directed by the Borrower to pay or
reimburse the Borrower for payment of any costs of capital improvements or extraordinary
items of maintenance with respect to the Project Facilities(See"The Indenture"in Appendix
A to this Official Statement). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, amounts in the
Repair and Replacement Fund are pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Series 2001 Bonds.
Surplus Fund
The Trustee is to maintain a Surplus Fund under the Indenture. All investment
income from funds on hand in the Surplus Fund are to be credited to the Revenue Fund.
The Trustee shall also deposit into the Surplus Fund all other amounts required to be
deposited into the Surplus Fund under the Indenture or the Loan Agreement.
In the event of shortfalls in such funds and accounts, amounts in the Surplus Fund
shall be withdrawn for transfer to the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund,to the
Taxes and Insurance Fund,to the Debt Service Reserve Fund,to the Repair and Replacement
Fund, to the Operating Reserve Fund and to the Subordinate Debt Service Account of the
Bond Fund.
So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) all reports of
the Borrower required to be provided to the Trustee under Section 6.02 of the Loan
Agreement have been so provided, and (iii) all deposits described in Section 5.01 of the
Indenture to the Taxes and Insurance Fund, the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond
Fund, the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Repair and Replacement Fund, the Operating
Reserve Fund and the Subordinate Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund are current(or
credit for such deposits shall have been given in accordance herewith for other amounts in
such funds), and (iv) any loan to the Borrower for replacement of the initial letter of credit
deposited to the Operating Reserve Fund has been repaid,then on December 1 each year,the
Trustee shall apply all moneys in the Surplus Fund for the following purposes in the
following priority, provided in no case shall such an application reduce amounts in the
Surplus Fund below the Surplus Fund Requirement:
(a) First, fifty percent (50%) of such moneys to the redemption of Subordinate
Bonds; and;
(b) Second, to the Borrower.
Operating Reserve Fund
On the date of the issue of the Series 2001 Bonds, the Trustee shall deposit in the
Operating Reserve Fund moneys or a bank letter of credit equal to the Operating Reserve
Requirement ($250,000). Thereafter, the Trustee shall deposit thereinto the Operating
Reserve Fund(i)all rental income and fees arising from the operation of the Project Facilities
and received on or before April 1,2003, and(ii)the amounts transferred from the Revenue
Fund, until such deposits equal the Operating Reserve Requirement. As amounts are
deposited therein, the stated amount of the bank letter of credit will be reduced by a
corresponding amount, and the Trustee will release such portion of the bank letter of credit
from the Trust Estate. If the rental income and the transfers from the Revenue Fund do not
equal the Operating Reserve Requirement and are not sufficient to fully replace the bank
letter of credit on April 1,2003,the Manager shall loan the difference to the Borrower,who
shall transfer the proceeds of the loan to the Trustee for deposit to the Operating Reserve
Fund. Such loan shall bear simple interest at nine percent(9%)and shall be repaid out of the
Surplus Fund, to the extent that funds are available. Repayments of this loan shall be made
prior to any distributions to the Borrower or redemptions of Subordinate Bonds.
Commencing April 1,2003,the Trustee shall deposit to the Operating Reserve Fund
any Loan Repayments and other funds in the Revenue Fund as provided in the Indenture as
necessary to maintain or restore the balance : . . : _ • . therein to the
Operating Reserve Requirement. If the Operatiiig Rcsen.e Fund is funded on the Date of

in the event amounts on deposit in the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund are
insufficient and(ii)Operating Expenses(including deposits to the Taxes and Insurance Fund
and the Repair and Replacement Fund). Amounts in the Operating Reserve Fund shall be
valued in the manner and at the times as provided for the Debt Service Reserve Fund in the
Indenture. Investment earnings from the Operating Reserve Fund in excess of the Operating
Reserve Requirement shall be transferred to the Revenue Fund.
Upon final payment, redemption or defeasance of all Series 2001 Bonds and the
satisfaction of all obligations under the Loan Agreement, and so long as there is no default
ongoing under the Loan Agreement,the Mortgage or the Indenture,then upon the release of
this Indenture the Trustee shall remit all amounts on deposit in the Operating Reserve Fund
to the Borrower(including the release of any bank letter of credit in its entirety).
Mortgage and Subordinate Mortgage
Under the Mortgage,the Borrower will grant the City a first leasehold mortgage lien
on, a security interest in, and an assignment of leases and rents of the Mortgaged Property.
As security for the Senior Bonds the City will assign,without recourse,all its interest in the
Mortgage to the Trustee. The Mortgaged Property includes,in general,the leasehold interest
in the land, the buildings and the furniture, fixtures and equipment and other tangible
property owned by the Borrower and located at the Project. The Borrower may, subject to
the Ground Lease, under certain circumstances, obtain a release from the lien of the
Mortgage of a portion of the Mortgaged Property. (See, "The Mortgage" in Appendix A to
this Official Statement.) The lien of the Mortgage is subject to Permitted Encumbrances,
which include liens for taxes and special assessments not yet delinquent, and may include
noninterfering utility and access easements or other encumbrances. In the event taxes or
special assessments are not paid, liens for said unpaid amounts would be prior to the lien of
the Mortgage. The Subordinate Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, securing the Series
2001C Bonds, is expressly subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and may not be enforced
so long as the Senior Bonds are Outstanding.
The Project will be specifically constructed for senior housing purposes. As a
consequence, in the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgage, the number of entities which
might purchase or lease the Mortgaged Property would be limited, and the sale price or
rentals would thus be adversely affected. (See"BONDHOLDERS' RISKS -Enforceability
of Remedies").
Defeasance
Upon certain terms and conditions specified in the Indenture,the Series 2001 Bonds
or portions thereof will be deemed to be paid and the security provided in the Indenture and
the Loan Agreement may be discharged prior to maturity or redemption thereof upon the
provision for payment of such Series 2001 Bonds in the manner set forth in the Indenture.
In that case,such Series 2001 Bonds will be secured solely by the cash or securities deposited
with the Trustee.
Additional Indebtedness
Subject to the consent of a majority of Holders, the Borrower may incur additional
indebtedness relating to the Project or other senior housing or health care facilities in the
future only upon satisfying certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and the
Indenture. Such indebtedness may be secured on a parity with the Senior Bonds or the
Subordinate Bonds and, if secured on a parity,would be payable on a parity with the Senior
Bonds or the Subordinate Bonds,as the case maybe,and secured by a mortgage lien,security
interest and assignment of rents relating to the Project on a parity with that of the Mortgage
or the Subordinate Mortgage, as the case may be. (See "The Loan Agreement - Special
Covenants" in Appendix A to this Official Statement.)
TAX INCREMENT ASSISTANCE
The Orono Housing and Redevelopment Authority(the"HRA")has agreed to provide
certain tax increment revenues generated by the Project to the Borrower in the form of a tax
increment revenue note of the HRA with an expected amount equal to 90%of the estimated
taxestax increment to be paid during the term of the Note which includes an interest rate of
7.0%(the "Note"). The Note provides for semiannual payments in August and February of
each year from August 1,2002 through February 1,2024,payable solely from 90%of the tax
increment generated by the Project in the preceding six-month period. The payments are
reduced if 90%of the actual tax increment produced by the Project(from property taxes paid
by the Borrower)in the preceding six-month period is less than the stated payment amount.
The Note payments are critical for the achievement of the debt service coverage set forth in
the Financial Forecast set forth in Appendix C.
As a condition to the tax increment assistance, the Borrower will have certain
obligations relating to the Project under the Development Agreement,dated as of November
1, 2001 among the City, the HRA and the Borrower (the "Development Agreement").
Among other things, the Development Agreement requires the Borrower to execute a
Regulatory Agreement,which imposes tenant income restrictions relating to twenty percent
(20%) of the units in the Project as described herein in Appendix B - "THE PROJECT -
Tenant Income Limitations."
In the event of a default by the Borrower with respect to its obligations under the
Development Agreement,which includes completion of construction of the Project,the HRA
may,among other remedies,terminate its payments to the Borrower under the Note,which
could adversely affect the Borrower's ability to make its debt service payments with respect
to the Series 2001 Bonds.
The Note has been assigned to the Trustee(and the Trustee's successors and assigns).
In the event of a foreclosure on the Project, continued receipt of Note payments by the
Trustee or any purchaser in a foreclosure sale is contingent upon continued compliance with
the provisions of the Development Agreement.
THE CITY
The City is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of
Minnesota,duly authorized and existing under and pursuant to the Constitution and the laws
of the State of Minnesota. The City will have no responsibility with respect to the
management and operation of the Project. The City has not been requested to participate in

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Borrower has no operating history and currently owns no significant assets and
has no liabilities. Consequently, no historical financial statements of the Borrower are
included in this Official Statement.
The Borrower has prepared forecasted financial statements for its fiscal years ending
December 31, 2001 to 2006, which have been examined by Virchow, Krause & Co., Inc.,
independent certified public accountants, whose report with respect thereto is included as
Appendix C hereto. As stated in the report of Virchow, Krause & Co., Inc., there will
usually be differences between forecasted and actual results, because events and
circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and those differences may be material.
Therefore, the actual results achieved during the forecast period may vary materially from
those forecast.
LITIGATION
There is no controversy or litigation of any nature pending or threatened restraining
or enjoining the issuance,sale,execution or delivery of the Series 2001 Bonds,or in any way
contesting or affecting the validity of the Series 2001 Bonds or any proceedings of the City
or the Borrower or the Sponsor taken with respect to the issuance or sale thereof,the pledge
or application of any moneys or security provided for the payment of the Bonds, the
existence or powers of the City, the Borrower or the Sponsor or the title of any officers of
the City, the Borrower or the Sponsor to their respective offices.
ENFORCEABILITY OF OBLIGATIONS
On the date of issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds, Faegre & Benson LLP, as Bond
Counsel, shall deliver its opinion, dated the date thereof, that the Series 2001 Bonds, the
Loan Agreement and the Indenture are valid and legally binding special,limited agreements
of the City. Christoffel & Elliott, P.A., St. Paul, Minnesota, will issue its opinion to the
effect that the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Subordinate Mortgage, the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement and the Ground Lease are valid and legally binding agreements of the
Borrower. The foregoing opinions will be generally qualified to the extent that the
enforceability of the respective instruments may be limited by laws,decisions and equitable
principles affecting remedies and by bankruptcy or insolvency or other laws,decisions and
equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally or creditors' rights against public
instrumentalities.
While the Series 2001 Bonds are secured or payable pursuant to the Indenture, the
Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage, the practical realization of
payment from any security will depend upon the exercise of various remedies specified in
the respective instruments. These and other remedies are dependent in many respects upon
judicial action,which is subject to discretion and delay. Accordingly,the remedies specified
in the above documents may not be readily available or may be limited. (See
"BONDHOLDERS' RISKS-Enforceability of Remedies.")
TAX MATTERS
Tax Exemption
In the opinion of Faegre&Benson LLP,as Bond Counsel, assuming compliance by
all parties with the covenants in the Loan Agreement and the Indenture,interest on the Series
2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds is not includable in gross income for purposes of federal income
taxation or in taxable income of individuals, estates and trusts for purposes of Minnesota
income taxation under present laws,regulations,rulings and decisions. Interest on the Series
2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds is not an item of tax preference required to be included in the
computations of "alternative minimum taxable income" for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals under Section 55 of the Code or Minnesota
alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals,trusts and estates. Interest on the Series
2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds is includable in "adjusted current earnings" for purposes of the
computation of"alternative minimum taxable income" of corporations under Section 55 of
the Code and is subject to the Minnesota franchise tax imposed upon corporations,including
financial institutions, measured by taxable income and the alternative minimum tax base.
Ownership of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds will result in disallowance of a deduction
for a portion of the interest expense of a "financial institution" under Section 265(b) of the
Code. No opinion as to any other federal or state tax consequences caused by the receipt or
accrual of interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds or arising from ownership of the
Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds will be expressed in the opinion of Bond Counsel. In
rendering this opinion, Faegre & Benson LLP will rely upon certificates provided by the
Borrower as to the nature, use, cost and useful life of the Project, the application of the
proceeds of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds and other matters relating to the exclusion
of the interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds from gross income for purposes of
federal and Minnesota income taxation.
Certain sections of the Code impose continuing requirements that must be met after
the issuance of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds in order for interest thereon to be and
remain not includable in gross income for purposes of federal and Minnesota income
taxation. Noncompliance with such requirements may cause the interest on the Series 2001
Tax-Exempt Bonds to be includable in gross income for purposes of federal and Minnesota
income taxation,either prospectively or retroactive to the date of issuance of the Series 2001
Tax-Exempt Bonds. These requirements include, but are not limited to (1)provisions that
prescribe that the proceeds of the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds and certain other amounts
are subject to yield and other investment restrictions and(2)provisions that require certain
investment earnings to be rebated on a periodic basis to the Treasury Department of the
United States. The Loan Agreement and the Indenture contain provisions (the "Tax
Covenants"), including covenants of the City and the Borrower pursuant to which, in the
opinion of Bond Counsel, such requirements can be satisfied. Assuming compliance with
the Tax Covenants and on the basis of the certifications to be furnished at closing and
existing law,Faegre&Benson LLP will render the legal opinion described in the preceding
paragraph. If a Determination of Taxability occurs, the Series 2001 Bonds are subject to
mandatory redemption.
Related Federal and Minnesota Tax Considerations
Interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds may be includable in the income of
a foreign corporation for purposes of the branch profits tax imposed by Section 884 of the
Code. In the case of an insurance corporation subject to the tax imposed by Section 831 of
the Code,the amount which otherwise would be taken into account as losses incurred under
Section 832(b)(5)of the Code must be reduced by an amount equal to fifteen percent of the
interest to be paid on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds that is received or accrued during
the taxable year. Section 86 of the Code requires recipients of certain social security and
railroad retirement benefits to take into account interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt
Bonds in determining the taxability of such benefits. Passive investment income,including
interest on the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds, may be subject to federal income taxation
under Section 1375 of the Code for an S corporation that has Subchapter C earnings and
profits at the close of the taxable year if greater than twenty-five percent of its gross receipts
is passive investment income. Section 265 of the Code denies a deduction for interest on
indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds,
and Minnesota law similarly denies a deduction of or such interest expense in the case of
individuals,estates and trusts. Indebtedness may be allocated to the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt
Bonds for this purpose even though not directly traceable to the purchase of the Series 2001
Tax-Exempt Bonds. Federal and Minnesota laws also restrict the deductibility of other
expenses allocable to the Series 2001 Tax-Exempt Bonds.
THE FOREGOING IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AN EXHAUSTIVE DISCUSSION
OF COLLATERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING FROM RECEIPT OF INTEREST
ON THE SERIES 2001 BONDS. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS OR BONDHOLDERS
SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO COLLATERAL
TAX CONSEQUENCES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE
DETERMINATION OF GAIN OR LOSS ON THE SALE OF A SERIES 2001 BOND,THE
CALCULATIONS OF ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX LIABILITY,THE INCLUSION
OF SOCIAL SECURITY OR OTHER RETIREMENT PAYMENTS IN TAXABLE
INCOME, THE DISALLOWANCE OF DEDUCTIONS FOR CERTAIN EXPENSES
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SERIES 2001 BONDS AND THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX
RULES IN STATES OTHER THAN MINNESOTA.
Bank Qualified Obligations
The City has designated the Series 2001A Bonds and the Subordinate Bonds as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, relating
to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes,
interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.
Tax Considerations for Series 2001B Bonds
In the opinion of Faegre & Benson LLP, as Bond Counsel, interest on the Series
2001B Bonds is subject to federal and state income taxation. This Official Statement does
not purport to discuss the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or sale of the Series
2001B Bonds. Purchasers of the Series 2001B Bonds are urged to consult with their tax
advisors as to the tax consequences pertaining to the Series 2001B Bonds, such as the
consequences of a sale,transfer,redemption or other disposition of the Series 2001 B Bonds
prior to stated maturity, and as to other applications of federal, state, local or foreign tax
laws.

other transactions with each other or with any affiliates of any of them,and no assurance can
be given that there are or will be no past or future relationships or transactions between or

In addition,the Indenture permits the Trustee and its officers and directors to acquire
and own or become the pledgee of Series 2001 Bonds and otherwise deal with the City and
the Borrower in the same manner, to the same extent and with like effect as though it were
not Trustee under the Indenture.

provided in the Indenture; thereafter amounts shall be deposited in the Bond Fund as
provided in Section 5.01 of the Indenture. In addition, any Loan Repayments paid to the
Trustee by the Borrower shall be deposited in the Senior Debt Service Account,together with
any other amounts permitted to be deposited therein on behalf of the Borrower and delivered

payment of principal of Senior Bonds when due at maturity or upon sinking
fund redemption;
SECOND: For transfer to the Taxes and Insurance Fund to restore any

THIRD: Upon direction by the Borrower, to purchase outstanding Senior
Bonds at purchase prices not exceeding par plus accrued interest,but only to
the extent amounts therein are sufficient to pay all principal of and interest

credit which will be given as against such payments for such purchase of
Senior Bonds.
(b) On the Date of Issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds, proceeds of the
Subordinate Bonds shall be deposited in the Subordinate Debt Service Account to the extent
provided in the Indenture; thereafter amounts shall be deposited in the Subordinate Debt
Service Account as provided in Section 5.01 of the Indenture. In addition, any Loan
Repayments paid to the Trustee by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement shall be

permitted to be deposited therein on behalf of the Borrower and delivered to the Trustee for
such deposit. On the Monthly Transfer Date, if amounts in the Subordinate Debt Service
Account are not sufficient to pay in full the monthly interest requirements on the Subordinate
Bonds, the amount of such deficiency, to the extent of available funds, shall by transferred

The moneys and investments in the Subordinate Debt Service Account are
irrevocably pledged and shall be used by the Trustee., from time to time, to the extent

Replacement Fund and the Operating Reserve Fund, in such order.
Optional Redemption Fund
The Trustee shall deposit into the Optional Redemption Fund all amounts deposited
for the payment of amounts due upon a redemption of outstanding Bonds(other than because
of mandatory sinking fund redemption),and as may be required by any provision of the Loan
Agreement or the Indenture.
Amounts on deposit to the credit of the Optional Redemption Fund shall be used,
first, to make up deficiencies in the Senior Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund (to the
extent described in Section 5.02(a) of the Indenture) and, second, for the payment of
principal of or, premium, if any, and interest on Bonds as a result of the redemption of
outstanding Bonds at the request or direction of the Borrower pursuant to Article III or,at the
request of the Borrower, for the purchase of outstanding Bonds on the market at prices not
exceeding the redemption price on the next available date for redemption.
Debt Service Reserve Fund
On the Date of Issuance, the Debt Service Reserve Requirement shall be deposited
to the Debt Service Reserve Fund, and thereafter amounts shall be deposited to the Debt
Service Reserve Fund as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee shall also deposit into the
Debt Service Reserve Fund all installments of Loan Repayments or portions thereof required
and all other amounts required to be deposited to the Debt Service Reserve Fund under the
Loan Agreement.
On any date on which amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Fund are less than the
Debt Service Reserve Requirement,the amount of such deficiency(to the extent of available
funds and after any transfers required to be made to the Senior Debt Service Account of the
Bond Fund or the Taxes and Insurance Fund)shall be transferred: first,from amounts in the
Surplus Fund; second,from amounts in the Subordinate Debt Service Account of the Bond
Fund; and third, from amounts in the Repair and Replacement Fund. Notwithstanding the
obligation to maintain the Debt Service Reserve Requirement,it shall not constitute an Event

Reserve Requirement,provided that the balance of the Debt Service Reserve Fund is equal
to at least$285,000.
Each investment credited to the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall mature or be
callable at the option of the holder within three (3)years. In computing the amount in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund, investments credited thereto shall be valued at face value if
purchased at par or at the amortized value if purchased at other than par;provided,however,
that such investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund are required to be valued only on
each November 1. "Amortized value,"when used with respect to an obligation purchased at
a premium above or at a discount below par,means the value as of any given time obtained
by dividing the total premium or discount at which such obligation was purchased by the
number of days remaining to maturity for such obligation at the date of such purchase and
by multiplying the quotient thus calculated by the number of days having passed since such
purchase; and (1) in the case of an obligation purchased at a premium by deducting the
product thus obtained from the purchase price,and(2)in the case of an obligation purchased
at a discount by adding the product thus obtained to the purchase price. Valuation on any
particular date shall include the amount of interest then earned or accrued to such date on any
moneys or investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund.
The funds and investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund are irrevocably pledged
to and shall be used by the Trustee, from time to time, as may be required, for the payment
of principal of,premium(if any)on and interest on the Senior Bonds as and when the same
shall become due and payable, and to that end, amounts shall be transferred to the Senior
Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund as provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture.

Fund exceed the Debt Service Reserve Requirement, at the request of the Borrower, the
Trustee shall transfer the excess to the Revenue Fund.
Amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Fund also shall be applied to pay the last
principal due on outstanding Senior Bonds;provided that with respect to any issue of Bonds,
the amount by which the Debt Service Reserve Requirement increased as of the Date of
Issuance of the Senior Bonds shall be applied to pay the final maturing principal of such
Bonds, but only to the extent that the amount remaining in the Debt Service Reserve Fund
immediately after such payment is not less than the Debt Service Reserve Requirement for
any Bonds remaining outstanding hereunder immediately after such payment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee, in its discretion, and based upon an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the exclusion from gross income of interest on the
Tax-Exempt Bonds shall not be adversely affected thereby, is authorized to use funds and
investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund to pay the amount of any rebate due the
United States in respect of any Bonds under Section 148 of the Code if the Borrower shall
have failed to pay or provide for the payment thereof under Section 4.01(d) of the Loan
Agreement.

requirement of Section 6.13 of the Loan Agreement and submitting all necessary forms and
reports required by Section 6.02 of the Loan Agreement),the Mortgage or the Indenture,(ii)
there is a deficiency in any of the funds or accounts described above,or(iii)a loan has been

credit of any fund or account established under the Indenture shall, upon request by the

which may be purchased from the Trustee or from any of its Affiliates. To the extent the
Trustee receives no investment instructions from the Authorized Borrower Representative,
amounts in the funds and accounts created under the Indenture shall be invested in the
Trustee's "AAA" rated treasury money market fund. Investments so made shall be deemed
at all times to be a part of the respective account or fund,but may from time to time be sold
or otherwise converted into cash, whereupon the proceeds derived from such sale or
conversion shall be credited to such Account or Fund. Any interest accruing on and any
profit realized from such investment shall be credited to the respective account or fund
except as otherwise provided in the Indenture. Any investments purchased with amounts on
deposit in any account or fund under the Indenture may be exchanged for cash or investments
of equal value credited to any other account or fund. The Trustee shall redeem or sell,at the
best price obtainable, any investments so made, whenever it shall be necessary to do so in
order to provide moneys to meet any payment from the respective account or fund. Neither
the Trustee nor the City shall be liable for any loss resulting from any such investment, nor
from failure to preserve rights against endorsers or other prior parties to instruments
evidencing any such investment. Monies credited to any account or fund maintained under
the Indenture which are uninvested pending disbursement or receipt of proper investment
directions or as directed under the Indenture,may be deposited to and held in a non-interest

the Trustee or with any bank affiliated with the Trustee, without the pledge of securities to
or other collateralization of such deposits accounts.

but solely to the extent of amounts from Loan Repayments,revenues derived from the Loan
Agreement or other amounts derived from the Trust Estate, including amounts received
under the Mortgage,the Subordinate Mortgage,and Net Proceeds;provided that neither such
payment obligations nor any of the agreements or obligations of the City relating thereto shall
be construed to constitute a general or moral obligation or an indebtedness of the City or
constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability or be a charge against the general credit or
taxing powers of the City.
Events of Default
Each of the following events is hereby defined as, and is declared to be and to
constitute, an "Event of Default":
(a) Any nonpayment when due of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any outstanding Senior Bonds (whether due at maturity or upon
redemption, declaration or otherwise); or
(b) Any nonpayment when due of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any Senior Indebtedness other than Senior Bonds(whether due at maturity
or upon redemption, declaration or otherwise); or
(c) Any failure in the due and timely performance of any of the other
covenants,conditions, agreements and provisions contained in the Senior Bonds or
in the Indenture, or in any indenture supplemental hereto to be performed, and such
default shall have continued for a period of sixty days after written notice,specifying
such default and requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the
Borrower by the Trustee, or if such notice is given to the Trustee and the Borrower
by Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of
outstanding Senior Bonds; or
(d) The occurrence and continuation of any "Event Default"
ve t of as that
term is defined in the Loan Agreement or the occurrence of any acceleration of
Senior Indebtedness because of a default or nonperformance or noncompliance by the
Borrower under any document governing such indebtedness.
Default in the due and punctual payment of any interest on or principal of any
Outstanding Subordinate Bonds shall also constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any remedies upon an
Event of Default with respect to the Subordinate Bonds set forth unless the Senior Bonds are
no longer Outstanding Bonds.
Remedies on Default
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, and upon written
request of Holders of twenty-five percent(25%)in aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Senior Bonds, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing delivered to the Borrower declare the
principal of all Senior Bonds hereby secured then outstanding and the interest accrued
thereon immediately due and payable,and such principal and interest shall thereupon become
and be immediately due and payable: subject,however,to the right of a Majority of Holders.,
by written notice to the Borrower and to the Trustee, to annul such declaration and destroy
its effect at any time if all covenants with respect to which default shall have been made shall
be fully performed or made good, and all arrears of interest upon all outstanding Senior
Bonds and the reasonable expenses and charges of the Trustee,its agents and attorneys shall
be paid, or the amount thereof shall be paid to the Trustee for the benefit those entitled
thereto.
In any case of Default or breach of any of the covenants and conditions of the
Indenture, or to protect the Trust Estate, the Trustee, anything contained to the contrary
notwithstanding and without any request from any holder of Senior Bonds(subject,however.,
to the provisions of Section 8.06 of the Indenture), may take such action or actions for the
enforcement of its rights and the rights of the holders of Senior Bonds and the rights of the
City under the Loan Agreement as due diligence, prudence and care would require and to
pursue the same with like diligence, prudence and care.
Upon the happening and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, and
shall upon the written request of Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Senior Bonds, proceed forthwith by suit or
suits at law or in equity or by any other appropriate remedy to enforce payment of the Senior
Bonds, to enforce application to such payment of the funds, revenues and income
appropriated thereto by the Indenture and by the Senior Bonds,to enforce remedies under the
Loan Agreement, to foreclose enforce the Mortgage and/or enforce the provisions of the
Mortgage and any such other appropriate legal or equitable remedy as the Trustee, being
advised by counsel, shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of its rights or any
of the rights of the holders of Senior Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing,the Trustee need
not proceed upon any such written request of such Bondholders, as aforesaid, unless such
Bondholders shall have offered to the Trustee surety and indemnity satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby.
For as long as any Senior Bonds are outstanding, neither the Trustee nor any holder
of the Subordinate Bonds shall take any action or remedies hereunder in the event of default
in payment of the Subordinate Bonds or other Events of Default relating to the Subordinate
Bonds.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and upon the filing of a suit or other
commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and the Holders
of Bonds under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the
appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate and of the revenues, issues,
payments and profits thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court
making such appointment shall confer.
Power of Majority of Bondholders
Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,a Majority of Holders shall
have the right,at any time,by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered
to the Trustee,to direct the method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken under
the Indenture,the Loan Agreement,the Mortgage,and the Subordinate Mortgage;provided
that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law and
that the Trustee shall be indemnified as provided in the Indenture.
Limitation on Suits by Bondholders
No Holder of any Bond shall have any right to institute any suit,action or proceeding
in equity or at law for the enforcement of the Indenture, or for the execution of any trust or
for any other remedy under the Indenture or under the Loan Agreement, Mortgage or the
Subordinate Mortgage,unless either(a)such action shall be approved by Holders of not less
than fifty-one percent (51%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding, or (b) a
Default has occurred of which the Trustee has been notified or of which it is deemed to have
notice,the Trustee shall have failed to take action in respect thereof and the Holders of one-
fourth (1/4) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding under the Indenture shall
have(i)made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered it reasonable opportunity
either to proceed to exercise the powers granted under the Indenture or to institute such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name; and (ii) offered to the Trustee indemnity as
provided under the Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing,no one or more Holders of the
Bonds shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect,disturb,or prejudice the lien
of the Indenture,the Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage by their action or to enforce any
right thereunder except in the manner provided therein and in the Indenture, and that all
proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner
provided in the Indenture and for the equal benefit of the Holders of all Bonds outstanding
under the Indenture.
Nothing in the Indenture contained shall,however, affect or impair the right of any
Bondholder,which is absolute and unconditional,to enforce and bring suit for the payment
of the principal of and interest on any Bond at and after the maturity thereof to the respective
Holders thereof at the time and place in said Bonds expressed,in accordance with the terms
of the Bonds.
Waiver by Bondholders
The Trustee,upon the written request of a Majority of Holders,shall waive any Event
of Default under the Indenture and its consequences, except an Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of the Bonds at the date of maturity specified therein; provided.,
however, that an Event of Default caused by the nonpayment of interest on any Series of
Bonds shall not be waived unless, prior to such waiver, all arrears of such interest, and all
expenses of the Trustee shall have been paid or shall have been provided for by deposit with
the Trustee of a sum sufficient to pay the same. In case of any such waiver, the City, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights
under the Indenture respectively. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Default or any Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Concerning the Trustee
The Trustee,prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all
such Events of Default as may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. The Trustee shall during the
existence of any such Event of Default(which has not been cured)exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise,as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his or her own affairs. None of the provisions contained in the Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur individual financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall
have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity
against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Trustee and its officers and directors may acquire and own, or become the
pledgee of,Bonds and otherwise deal with the City or the Borrower in the same manner and
to the same extent and with like effect as though it were not Trustee.
Except for the initial Trustee,and any successor or assign to such Trustee,there shall
at all times be a trustee under the Indenture which shall be an association or a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or any State thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital,
surplus and undivided profits of at least Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.13 of the
Indenture summarized in this Appendix, and another association or corporation is eligible,
the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section
8.16 of the Indenture.
In case at any time the Trustee shall resign or shall be removed or otherwise shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or if a public supervisory office shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs, a vacancy shall forthwith and
ipso facto be created in the office of such Trustee under the Indenture, and a successor may
be appointed by a Majority of Holders by an instrument or instruments in writing filed with
the Trustee and executed by such Bondholders,notification thereof being given to the City,
but until a new Trustee shall be appointed by the Bondholders as authorized under the
Indenture, the City shall, subject to the provisions, appoint a Trustee to fill such vacancy.
After any such appointment by the City, it shall cause notice of such appointment to be
mailed within 30 days of such appointment to the Holders of all outstanding Bonds,but any
new Trustee so appointed by the City shall immediately and without further act be
superseded by a Trustee appointed in the manner above provided by a Majority of Holders
whenever such appointment by said Bondholders shall be made.
If, in a proper case,no appointment of a successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to
the foregoing provisions within six months after a vacancy shall have occurred in the office
of Trustee, the Holder of any Bond secured by the Indenture or any retiring Trustee may
apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Said court may
thereupon, after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint
a successor Trustee.
Discharge of Lien
If the Borrower shall
(a) pay or cause to be paid the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds at the time and in the manner stipulated therein and in the
Indenture, or
(b) provide for the payment of principal and premium, if any, of the
Bonds and interest thereon by depositing with the Trustee at or at any time before
maturity amounts sufficient either in cash or in Government Obligations (not
callable, except at the option of the holder thereof), the principal and interest on
which when due and payable(or redeemable at the option of the holder thereof)and
without consideration of any reinvestment thereof shall be sufficient,to pay the entire
amount due or to become due thereon for principal and premium,if any,and interest
to maturity of all said Bonds outstanding, or
(c) deliver to the Trustee(1)proof satisfactory to the Trustee that notice
of redemption of all of the outstanding callable Bonds not surrendered or to be
surrendered to it for cancellation has been given or waived as provided in Article III
of the Indenture, or that arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee have been made
insuring that such notice will be given or waived, or (2) a waiver of such notice of
redemption signed by the holders of all of such outstanding Bonds, and in any such
case, deposit with the Trustee before the date on which such Bonds are to be
redeemed,as provided in said Article III,the entire amount of the redemption price.,
including accrued interest and premium, if any, either in cash or in Government
Obligations(not callable,except at the option of the holder thereof)in such aggregate
face amount, bearing interest at such rates and maturing or being callable at the
option of the holder thereof on such dates as shall be sufficient to provide for the
payment of such redemption price on the date such Bonds are to be redeemed, and
on such prior dates when principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds is due
and payable, or
(d) surrender to the Trustee for cancellation all Bonds for which payment
is not so provided.,
and shall also pay all other sums due and payable under the Indenture and under the Loan
Agreement by the Borrower,provided that if Bonds are to be defeased under either paragraph
(b) or (c) above, an opinion of Bond Counsel shall be rendered to the Trustee to the effect
that the tax-exempt status of interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds shall not be impaired thereby
and a written report from an Independent certified public accounting firm shall be delivered
to the Trustee in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee verifying the sufficiency of
the cash and Government Obligations to pay all principal, interest and redemption price
described above, then and in that case, all the Trust Estate shall revert to the Borrower and
the entire estate, right, title and interest of the Trustee and of the registered owners of the
Bonds in respect thereof shall thereupon cease,determine and become void;and the Trustee
in such case,upon the cancellation of all Bonds for the payment of which cash or securities
shall not have been deposited in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture,shall,upon
receipt of an opinion of Bond Counsel as to compliance with conditions precedent,and at its
cost and expense, execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of the Indenture
and surrender to the Borrower all cash and deposited securities, if any (other than cash or
securities for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon),which shall then be held under
the Indenture as a part of the Trust Estate.
When there shall have been deposited at any time with the Trustee in trust for the
purpose, cash or non-callable Government Obligations the principal and interest on which
shall be sufficient to pay the principal of any Bonds (and premium, if any) when the same
become due, either at maturity or otherwise, or at the date fixed for the redemption thereof
and to pay all interest with respect thereto at the due dates for such interest or to the date
fixed for redemption,for the use and benefit of the Holders thereof,then upon such deposit
all such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security of the Indenture
except the right to receive the funds so deposited and such rights of transfer and exchange
of Bonds as are provided in the Indenture, and such Bonds shall be deemed not to be
outstanding under the Indenture; and it shall be the duty of the Trustee to hold the cash and
securities so deposited for the benefit of the Holders of such Bonds,and from and after such
date,redemption date or maturity, interest on such Bonds shall cease to accrue.
Supplemental Indentures
The City,upon resolution,and the Trustee from time to time and at any time,subject
to the conditions and restrictions in the Indenture, may enter into such indentures
supplemental to the Indenture without the consent of any Bondholder for any one or more
of the following purposes:
(a) To correct the description of any property pledged by the Indenture
or intended so to be, or to assign, convey, pledge or transfer and set over unto the
Trustee, subject to such liens or other encumbrances as shall be therein specifically
described, additional property or properties of the Borrower for the equal and
proportional benefit and security of the Holders of all Bonds, at any time issued and
outstanding under the Indenture,subject,however,to the provisions hereinabove set
forth with respect to extended Bonds;
(b) To evidence removal or appointment of any trustee or paying agent
under the Indenture;
(c) To cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision
contained in the Indenture or in any supplemental indentures which may be defective
or inconsistent with any other provision contained in the Indenture or in any
supplemental indenture;
(d) To modify,eliminate and/or add to the provisions of the Indenture to
such extent as shall be necessary to effect the qualification of the Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as then amended, or under any similar Federal statute
hereafter enacted, and to add to the Indenture such other provisions as may be
expressly permitted by said Trust Indenture Act of 1939, excluding, however, the
.rovisions referred to in Section 316 a 2 of said Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
(e) To permit the issuance of Additional Bonds.
A Majority of Holders shall have the right, from time to time, to consent to and
approve the execution of indenture or indentures supplemental to the Indenture:PROVIDED,
HOWEVER,that nothing shall permit or be construed as permitting,without the consent of
the Holders of all outstanding Bonds, (a) an extension of the maturity of any Bond issued
under the Indenture,or(b)a reduction in the principal amount of any Bond or the redemption
premium or the rate of interest thereon, or (c) the creation of a lien upon or a pledge of
revenues ranking prior to or on a parity with the lien or pledge created by the Indenture and
the Mortgage (except as provided in the Indenture), or (d) a preference or priority of any
Bond or Bonds over any others, or(e)a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds required to consent to supplemental indentures,amendments to the Loan Agreement
or amendments to the Mortgage,or(f)a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds required to waive an Event of Default: PROVIDED FURTHER, that nothing in the
Indenture contained shall permit or be construed as permitting, without the consent of the
holders or creditors of all outstanding Subordinated Debt,the elimination of any consent of
a holder or creditor of Subordinated Debt to any modification to the Indenture, the Loan
Agreement or the Subordinate Mortgage.
Whenever there shall be delivered to the Trustee a resolution of Bondholders adopted
at a Bondholders' meeting approved by, or an instrument or instruments purporting to be
executed by Majority of Holders,which resolution or instrument or instruments shall refer
to the proposed supplemental indenture and shall specifically consent to and approve the
execution thereof, thereupon, the City and the Trustee may execute such supplemental
indenture without liability or responsibility to any Holder of any Bond,whether or not such
Holder shall have consented thereto.
If a Majority of Holders at the time of the execution of such supplemental indenture
shall have consented to and approved the execution thereof as provided in the Indenture,no
Holder of any Bond shall have any right to object to the execution of such supplemental
indenture,or to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein or the operation
thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or
restrain the Trustee or the City from executing the same or from taking any action pursuant
to the provisions thereof.
Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,a supplemental indenture
under Article XI of the Indenture which adversely affects the rights of the Borrower under
the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Subordinate Mortgage or the Indenture, so long as
the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage and the Subordinate Mortgage are in effect, shall not
become effective unless and until the Borrower shall have consented to the execution and
delivery of such supplemental indenture.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture, no Supplemental Indenture
shall be executed until the Trustee has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
such execution will not cause interest on any Tax-Exempt Bonds to be included in gross
income for federal income tax purposes
Amendments to the Loan Agreement and Other Documents
The City and the Trustee may,without the consent of or notice to the Bondholders,
consent to any amendment,change or modification of the Loan Agreement,the Mortgage or
the Subordinate Mortgage as may be required(i)by the provisions of the Loan Agreement,
the Mortgage,the Subordinate Mortgage or the Indenture,(ii)for the purpose of curing any
ambiguity or formal defect or omission, or(iii)in connection with any other change therein
which, in the judgment of the Trustee, is not to the prejudice of the Trustee (unless waived
by the Trustee), the Holders of the Bonds or the holders or creditors of any Subordinated
Debt. In determining whether or not an amendment, change, or modification does or does
not require the consent of bondholders, the Trustee may conclusively rely on an Opinion of
Counsel.
Except for the amendments, changes or modifications as provided in Section 12.01
of the Indenture, neither the City nor the Trustee shall consent to any other amendment,
change or modification of the Loan Agreement,the Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage
without the written approval or consent of a Majority of Holders given and procured as
described in this paragraph; provided, however, that no such amendment, change or
modification shall ever affect the unconditional obligation of the Borrower to make Loan
Repayments as they become due and payable. If a Majority of Holders at the time of the
execution of any such amendment, change or modification shall have consented to and
approved the execution thereof as provided in the Indenture, no Holder of any Bond shall
have any right to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein, or in the
operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to
enjoin or restrain the Trustee, the City or the Borrower from executing the same or from
taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.
Amendments May Not Reduce Loan Repayments
Under no circumstances shall any amendment to the Loan Agreement,the Mortgage
or the Subordinate Mortgage, without the consent of the Holders of all Bonds outstanding
affected thereby: (i) reduce the aggregate amount of Loan Repayments payable under the
Loan Agreement,or allow any installment of Loan Repayments to be paid subsequent to the
time needed for the payment of principal of,premium,if any, and interest on the Bonds, (ii)
modify any of the provisions of the Loan Agreement to eliminate the requirement that the
Trustee consent to every amendment thereto; or (iii) release from the lien of the Mortgage

Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage.
Additional Requirements for all Amendments
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Indenture,(i)no amendment to the Loan
Agreement, the Mortgage, or the Subordinate Mortgage shall be executed until the Trustee
has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such execution will not cause
interest on any Tax-Exempt Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax
purposes, and (ii) promptly after execution, a copy of the executed amendment shall be
delivered to each other Holder who shall have requested of the Trustee to receive such copy.

occurred and exists under the Loan Agreement,upon any sale of all or substantially all
of the Project Facilities in accordance with Sections 5.02 and Section 6.04 of the Loan

equipment causes damage to buildings, the Borrower shall restore or repair such damage at
its expense. The Trustee shall execute and deliver as provided in the Indenture such releases
or other documents (if any) as the Borrower may properly request in connection with any
action taken by the Borrower in conformity with the provisions summarized above with

under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured against
by similar businesses, including (without limiting the generality of the
foregoing) fire and extended coverage in an amount not less than 100% of the
full insurable replacement value of the Project Facilities, but any such policy
may have a deductible amount of not more than$10,000. No policy of insurance
shall be so written that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum
coverage required by the preceding sentence, by reason of co-insurance
provisions or otherwise, without the prior consent thereto in writing by the
Trustee (based on a report of an Independent Consultant). The term "full
insurable replacement value" shall mean the actual replacement cost of the
Project Facilities (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of

Trustee as their respective interests may appear and shall contain standard
mortgage clauses which provide for Net Proceeds of insurance resulting from
claims per casualty thereunder to the Project Facilities which are less than
$250,000 for loss or damage covered thereby to be made payable directly to the
Borrower, and Net Proceeds from such claims which are equal to or in excess
of$250,000 to be made payable directly to the Trustee. The Net Proceeds of
such insurance required by this paragraph (a) with respect to the Project
Facilities shall be applied as provided in Sections 5.10 and 5.11 of the Loan
Agreement.

insured.
(c) Business interruption insurance covering actual losses in gross
operating earnings of the Borrower resulting directly from necessary
interruption of business caused by damage to or destruction of real or personal
property constituting part of the Project Facilities(for a period of at least twelve
months commencing 30 days after such damage or destruction),less charges and
expenses which do not necessarily continue during the interruption of business,
for such length of time as may be required with the exercise of due diligence and
dispatch to rebuild,repair or replace such properties as have been damaged or
destroyed, with limits equal to at least 100% of the maximum principal and
interest scheduled to be due on all Senior Indebtedness and all Bonds for any
current or subsequent Fiscal Year.

completed value, with delayed completion coverage, collapse coverage, and
special cause of loss coverage. In addition, any general contractor shall
maintain with respect to the work insurance for liability and worker's
compensation no less in coverage than is required by the Loan Agreement with
respect to the Borrower.
(e) Such other insurance,including workers'compensation insurance
respecting all employees of the Borrower, in such amount as is customarily
carried by like organizations engaged in like activities of comparable size and
liability exposure;provided that the Borrower may be self-insured with respect
to all or any part of its liability for workers' compensation.
(f) In addition to the foregoing, all insurance coverage carried by or
on behalf of the Borrower with respect to the Project Facilities and its
operations shall be evaluated at least once every five years by the Insurance
Consultant, who shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee a report as to the
Insurance Consultant's recommendations for any changes in the then current
insurance coverage required so that such insurance coverage is no less than the
coverage which is customary for like organizations and businesses,including in
such evaluation the particular risks insured, the amount of insured loss
coverage, and exclusions from coverage. Thereafter, the Borrower shall
promptly procure the any recommended additional insurance coverage.
Damage or Destruction
The Borrower agrees to notify the Trustee immediately in the case of damage
to, or destruction of, the Project Facilities or any portion thereof, resulting from fire
or other casualty, estimated to exceed $100,000 in amount, which notice shall be
followed as promptly as practicable by a description of the damage or destruction,the
estimated costs to repair the same, and the sources of funds expected to be utilized in
the repair or replacement of the Project Facilities. In the event that the Net Proceeds
for such damage shall not exceed $250,000 and no Default has occurred and is
continuing,the Net Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrower,who shall forthwith repair,
reconstruct and restore the Project Facilities to substantially the same condition and
value as existed prior to the event causing such damage and,to the extent necessary to
accomplish such repair, reconstruction and restoration, the Borrower will apply the
Net Proceeds to the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof.
If a Default has occurred and is continuing,all Net Proceeds shall be deposited
with the Trustee for application in accordance with the Indenture. In the event the
Project Facilities or any portion thereof is destroyed by fire or other casualty and Net
Proceeds exceed $250,000, all Net Proceeds shall be deposited with the Trustee for
credit to the Insurance and Award Account, unless the Borrower shall notify the
Trustee of the Borrower's election to redeem all then redeemable outstanding Bonds
as hereinafter provided, in which case all Net Proceeds shall be deposited in the
Optional Redemption Fund for redemption of Bonds available to be redeemed because
of such destruction or casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Proceeds from
business interruption insurance shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund as a portion
of Monthly Net Project Revenues.
If Net Proceeds from the damage or destruction is estimated to exceed$250,000,
then the Borrower shall within 60 days after such damage or destruction elect one of
the following two options by written notice of such election to the Trustee: (a) the
Borrower may elect to repair, reconstruct and restore the damaged Project Facilities;
provided that the Borrower certifies in writing to the Trustee that such repair,
reconstruction or restoration is reasonably expected to be completed within twelve(12)
months after the damage or destruction, or (h) in the event that the Borrower shall
deliver to the Trustee a written estimate by an Independent person qualified to express
such opinion (including an Independent licensed architect) that that the Project
Facilities cannot be rebuilt,restored or replaced within 12 months from the date of the
destruction of damage, all outstanding Series 2001 Bonds (and all other outstanding
Bonds redeemable because of such any event) shall be redeemed in whole on the next
Interest Payment Date for the Series 2001 Bonds occurring at least 45 days after the
date of the notice given as to exercise of this Option (b), and the Net Proceeds shall be
deposited in the Optional Redemption Fund and shall be applied for that purpose. In
such event, the applicable outstanding Bonds shall be redeemed at par plus accrued
interest,and redemption shall be effected pursuant to the provisions of,in the manner,
and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If the Net Proceeds of insurance,
together with all amounts then held by the Trustee under the Indenture available to
redeem or retire the applicable Bonds,shall be insufficient to so redeem the applicable
outstanding Bonds (including and expenses of redemption), the Borrower shall pay
such deficiency to the Trustee as a Loan Repayment; and the Net Proceeds of
insurance,together with such Loan Repayment and amounts held by the Trustee under
the Indenture, shall be applied to such redemption of the Bonds.
Condemnation
If any portion of the Project Facilities or any material portion thereof becomes
subject to any eminent domain or condemnation proceeding, the Borrower shall give
prompt notice thereof to the Trustee. In the event that the Net Proceeds for such event
shall not exceed $250,000 and no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Net
Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrower, who shall forthwith repair, reconstruct and
restore the Project Facilities to substantially the same condition and value as existed
prior to the event causing such damage and,to the extent necessary to accomplish such
repair,reconstruction and restoration,the Borrower will apply the Net Proceeds to the
payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof.
If a Default has occurred and is continuing, all Net Proceeds shall be deposited
with the Trustee for application in accordance with the Indenture. If Net Proceeds
from the condemnation exceed $250,000, all Net Proceeds shall be deposited with the
Trustee for credit to the Insurance and Award Account, unless the Borrower shall
notify the Trustee of the Borrower's election to redeem all then redeemable outstanding
Bonds as provided in the Loan Agreement, in which case all Net Proceeds shall be
deposited in the Optional Redemption Fund for redemption of Bonds available to be
redeemed because of such event.
If Net Proceeds will exceed $250,000, then the Borrower shall within 60 days
after such condemnation elect one of the following two options by written notice of such
election to the Trustee: (a)the Borrower may elect to use the Net Proceeds of the award
made in connection with such condemnation or taking for additions, repairs and
improvements to the Project Facilities to restore or replace the Project Facilities to
substantially the same condition and value as existed prior to the event; provided that
the Borrower certifies in writing to the Trustee that such additions, repairs and
improvements are reasonably expected to be completed within twelve(12)months after
the condemnation or taking, or (b) in the event that the Borrower shall deliver to the
Trustee a written estimate by an Independent person qualified to express such opinion
(including an Independent licensed architect)that that the Project Facilities cannot be
rebuilt, restored or replaced within 12 months from the date of the condemnation or
taking by eminent domain,all outstanding Series 2001 Bonds(and all other outstanding
Bonds redeemable because of such event) shall be redeemed in whole on the next
Interest Payment Date for the Series 2001 Bonds occurring at least 45 days after the
date of the notice given as to exercise of this Option (b),and the Net Proceeds shall be
deposited in the Optional Redemption Fund and shall be applied for that purpose. In
such event, the applicable outstanding Bonds shall be redeemed at par plus accrued
interest,and redemption shall be effected pursuant to the provisions of,in the manner,
and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
If the Net Proceeds of condemnation,together with the amount then held by the
Trustee under the Indenture available to redeem the Bonds shall be insufficient to
redeem the Bonds(including principal,accrued interest,and expenses of redemption),
the Borrower shall pay such deficiency to the Trustee as a Loan Repayment, and the
Net Proceeds of condemnation,together with such Loan Repayment and amounts held
by the Trustee under the Indenture shall be applied to such redemption of the Bonds
at the earliest possible date.

refunding Outstanding Bonds, (ii) refinancing outstanding Senior Indebtedness, (iii)
financing or refinancing the design, acquisition, construction, development and equipping
of Improvements,or(iv)financing or refinancing the design,construction and equipping of
Improvements. The Borrower may incur Senior Indebtedness in amounts which are

Indebtedness,to fund a reserve fund for the payment of such Senior Indebtedness(or related
Bonds)and to fund interest payable on such Senior Indebtedness for a period of time not to
exceed six months beyond the completion of construction of any Improvements, but only

shall: (A) state the general purpose for which such Senior Indebtedness is to
be incurred; (B) describe the Improvements to be financed or refinanced
thereby or the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded thereby or the outstanding
Senior Indebtedness to be refinanced thereby, as the case may be; (C) state

or dates thereof and the interest rate or rates with respect thereto; and (D)
state that the proposed Senior Indebtedness, together with any other funds
available to and committed or reserved by the Borrower for use in connection
with such financing, refinancing or refunding, which other funds shall be
identified as to amount and source, is not less than the amount required to
acquire and construct the Improvements and to place the same in service, to
refund the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded or to refinance the outstanding
Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, and to pay all fees, expenses and
financing costs,including required reserves and funded interest,in connection
therewith;
(ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the Borrower to the effect that all
conditions precedent specified in the Loan Agreement for incurring such
Senior Indebtedness have been satisfied;
(iii) a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the
incurrence of the Senior Indebtedness will cause interest on any Tax-Exempt
Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes; and
(iv) a written report of an independent certified public accountant
(which accountant and report are acceptable to the Trustee) stating that the
Historical Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Fiscal Year immediately
preceding the incurring of such Senior Indebtedness for which financial
statements reported upon by independent certified public accountants are
available was not less than 1.20:1; and (b) a written Consultant's report
(which report is acceptable to the Trustee) to the effect that the Projected
Debt Service Coverage Ratio of the Company for each of the next five (5)
succeeding Fiscal Years is not less than 1.20:1; provided that such report
shall include forecast statement of financial position (income statement),
statements of revenues and expenses and statements of changes in financial
position for such Fiscal Year and a statement of the relevant assumptions
upon which such forecasted statements are based,which financial statements
must indicate that sufficient revenues and cash flow could be generated to pay
the operating expenses of the Project and the debt service on the Borrower's
other existing Indebtedness during such Fiscal Year.
(b) The Borrower shall not incur any Senior Indebtedness to refund
Outstanding Bonds or other Senior Indebtedness unless, in addition to the filing of
the items described in paragraph(a) above:
(i) there shall be filed with the Trustee a report of an Independent
accountant to the effect that the proceeds of the Senior Indebtedness,together
with any other funds deposited with the Trustee for such purpose,will be not
less than an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and the redemption
premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be refunded and the interest
which will become due and payable thereon on or prior to the redemption
date or stated maturity thereof, or that the principal of and interest on
Government Obligations purchased from such proceeds or from other funds
provided by the Borrower and deposited in trust with the Trustee, which
Government Obligations do not permit redemption thereof at the option of
the issuer,when due and payable(or redeemable at the option of the holder)
will without reinvestment provide, together with any other moneys which
shall have been deposited irrevocably with the Trustee for such purpose,
sufficient moneys to pay such principal, redemption premium, if any, and
interest; and
(ii) there shall be filed with the Trustee an opinion of Bond
Counsel to the effect that the incurring of such Senior Indebtedness and the
refunding of Bonds or other Senior Indebtedness with the proceeds thereof
will not cause interest on any Tax-Exempt Bonds to be included in gross
income for federal income tax purposes.
(c) Any additional Senior Indebtedness may be secured by the Mortgage
on parity with the Bonds,but the additional Senior Indebtedness shall not be secured
by any amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Fund (except any Additional Bonds
payable from such Senior Indebtedness would be secured by the Debt Service
Reserve Fund);provided,however,that the Borrower shall not secure nor attempt to
secure such Senior Indebtedness with an interest in the property secured under the
Mortgage except in accordance with the terms of an agreement satisfactory to the
Trustee.
(d) Any default under any agreement for repayment of Senior Indebtedness
shall be a default under the Loan Agreement and there shall be included in any
agreement for repayment of such Senior Indebtedness a provision that any default
under the Loan Agreement shall be a default under such agreement. In addition,any
agreement for repayment of such Senior Indebtedness shall include a provision that,
prior to exercising any remedies upon a default by the Borrower under such
agreement, the holder or holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
representing such holders) shall cooperate with the Trustee to the end that the
interests of such holder or holders and the Bondholders shall be equally protected.
Subordinate Debt. The Borrower may incur such Subordinate Debt as in the
Borrower's judgment may be deemed expedient for the payment of working capital so long
as the consent thereto is obtained from a majority by principal amount of the holders of then
outstanding Subordinate Debt(other than holders of Subordinate Debt to be fully repaid from
proceeds of the new Subordinate Debt) and prior notice thereof is given to a Majority of
Holders; provided however, that the terms thereof shall expressly provide that such
Indebtedness is payable only from Net Revenues Available for Subordinate Debt Service so
long as any Senior Bonds are outstanding, and any lien securing the Indebtedness and all
rights of payment and enforcement shall be subordinated to the payment of outstanding
Senior Bonds, enforcement of rights in respect thereof and the lien of the Subordinate
Mortgage, as evidenced by an agreement between the holder of such Subordinate Debt and
the Trustee (consented to by the Borrower).
Continuing Disclosure. The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will comply with
and carry out all of the provisions ofthe Continuing Disclosure Agreement. Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Loan Agreement, failure of the Borrower to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default;however,the
Trustee may (and, at the request of any Participating Underwriter (as defined in the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement) or the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%)
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, shall), or any Bondholder or

thirty (30) days after notice and if the Borrower has taken all action reasonably possible to
remedy such Default within such thirty day period, the Default shall not become an Event

diligently proceed to remedy such Default and in accordance with any directions or
limitations of time made by the Trustee(except for a payment default under Section 4.07(c)
of the Loan Agreement). The Borrower agrees, however, to use its best efforts to remedy
with all reasonable dispatch any cause or causes preventing the Borrower from carrying out

proceeding;provided,however,that nothing in the Loan Documents shall limit the Trustee's
ability to exercise any right or remedy that it may have with respect to any property pledged
or granted to the City or the Trustee, or both of them, or to exercise any right against the
Borrower Parties or any other person or entity on account of any damage caused by fraud or
intentional misrepresentation by the Borrower or any intentional damage of the property

covenant to indemnify the City,the Trustee,or any other Holder,wherever contained in the
Loan Agreement,and(ii)the Borrower's covenants contained in the Loan Agreement which
shall result in a Determination of Taxability. The limit on the Borrower's liability set forth
in the provisions described in this and the preceding paragraph shall not, however, be
construed, and is not intended in any way,to constitute a release, in whole or in part,of the
Borrower's obligations under any Loan Document or a release, in whole or in part, or an
impairment of the lien and security interest of any Loan Document upon any Collateral, or
to preclude the Trustee from foreclosing the Mortgage or the Subordinate Mortgage in case
of any Event of Default or enforcing any other right of the City or the Trustee or to alter,
limit or affect the liability of any person or party who may at any time guarantee,or pledge,
grant or assign its assets or collateral as security for, the obligations of the Borrower under

obligation of the City, payable solely from the revenues pledged to the payment
thereof pursuant to the Indenture and the Loan Agreement,and that the Bonds do not

agreed, under the Loan Agreement, to indemnify the City and each of its officers,

The Project is located on an approximately 4.04 acre site in Orono, Minnesota.
Direct access to the Project will be via Highway 12 and Brown Avenue. The access drive
from Highway 12 splits, providing access to both the proposed Project and the office
building. The drive from Brown Avenue provides access to the Project from that street.
The Project is located on the eastern edge of Orono,which is on the western end of
downtown Long Lake, a small commercial center serving the local area. The Project will
have access to and from the overall Twin Cities Metropolitan Area and its freeway system
due to its frontage on Highway 12. Highway 12 becomes Interstate-394 at the interchange
with Interstate-494, five miles east of the Project. From there, the rest of the Twin Cities'
freeway system is accessible.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation plans to improve the capacity of
Highway 12 through the construction of a by-pass through Long Lake and Orono. The plan
calls for a two-lane controlled by-pass to be located two blocks south of the existing road.
The highway by-pass project is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2004. The impact of
the highway reroute is significant,as the daily traffic count passing in front of the Project will
be greatly reduced.
The Project is surrounded to the east and west predominantly by strip highway
development,ranging from auto and truck repair to retail/service uses. Single-family homes
are found to the north of the Project, situated on large, wooded lots.
Construction of Project Facilities
Construction of the Project is expected to commence in November, 2001 and is
expected to be completed on or about November 1, 2002 (with the exception of certain
seasonal punch-list construction items). Frana and Sons, Inc., Hopkins, Minnesota, is the
general contractor and is responsible for the completion of the Project. Miller, Hanson,
Westerbeck, Berger, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, is the architect for the Project.

Appraisal Value
Harvey Swenson,MAI,of Commercial Appraisal&Consulting Group,of Roseville,
Minnesota,has prepared an appraisal of the market value of the Project as of completion and
stabilized occupancy(the"Appraisal"). The appraiser reconciled the values from the income,
sales comparison and replacement cost approaches and estimated the fair market value of the
Project, assuming that the improvements to be financed with proceeds of the Series 2001
Bonds are completed, an"as completed and stabilized" fair market value of$8,200,000.00,
and assuming the issuance of the Series 2001 Bonds. The appraiser assigned an "as is"
market value to the currently vacant land of$837,000. A copy of the Appraisal may be
obtained from the Underwriter, Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard, Inc., 5500 Wayzata
Boulevard,Suite 1450,Minneapolis,Minnesota 55416,during the term of the offering of the
Series 2001 Bonds.
The conclusion as to an estimated market value is solely the expression of an opinion
by the appraiser and is no guarantee that upon sale the estimated market value would be
realized. In the event of a forced sale it is likely that the estimated market value would not
be realized The appraised value assumes a price negotiated on a voluntary sale basis, with
a reasonable time in which to determine a buyer and the terms of sale, and does not account
for any reduction in value which might occur in the event of a forced sale in connection with
an event of default. The estimated market value also does not take into account the costs
associated with any sale(such as real estate agent or legal fees), which would reduce the net
proceeds from the sale actually realized by the seller. Also, the fair market value of the
property may vary significantly over time. Finally, the appraised value of property has been
known to vary from appraiser to appraiser, and sometimes significantly.
Environmental Assessment
At the request of the Borrower,EnPro Assessment Corp of St. Paul, Minnesota has
prepared a Phase I Environmental Assessment Report,dated November 8,2000,of the land
on which the Project Facilities are being constructed in conformance with the scope and
limitations of ASTM Practice E1527-00. An environmental report generally involves the
review of historical aerial photographs and real estate records to discover the prior use of the
site and an on-site inspection to discover any open hazardous environmental conditions.
Such studies are aimed at assessing the presence or likely presence of any hazardous
substances or petroleum products on a property under conditions that indicate an existing
release, a past release or a material threat of a release of any hazardous substances or
petroleum products into structures on the property or into the ground,groundwater or surface
water of the property. There can be no assurances as to the ultimate level of protection, if
any, provided by the environmental report or any determination based thereon.
The assessment revealed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions in
connection with the Project. A copy of the Phase I Environmental Assessment Report may
be obtained from the Underwriter, Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard, Inc., 5500 Wayzata
Boulevard,Suite 1450,Minneapolis,Minnesota 55416,during the term of the offering of the
Series 2001 Bonds.

proceedings,documents and certifications furnished to us by public officials and officials of the
Borrower, Wedum, the Trustee, and the Issuer without undertaking to verify such facts by
independent investigation. We have relied on representations of the Borrower and Wedum as
to the application of the proceeds of the Bonds and the nature,use,cost and economic life of the
Project Facilities(as defined in the Loan Agreement)financed by the Bonds.We also have relied
upon the opinion of Christoffel &Elliott, P.A. of even date herewith to the effect that, subject
to the matters set forth in the opinion: (i)the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage, the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement, the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Disbursing Agreement, the
Development Agreement and the Ground Lease(collectively,the"Borrower Documents")have
each been duly authorized,executed and delivered by the Borrower and each constitutes a valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower, (ii)the Borrower is a limited liability company whose
sole member, Wedum, is a nonprofit corporation and an organization described in Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") whose income is
exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, (iii) the Borrower will be
disregarded as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7701 of the
Code and,accordingly,Wedum will be treated as the owner of the Project Facilities for federal
income tax purposes, and (iv) performance by the Borrower of its obligations under the
Borrower Documents will not violate or conflict with existing laws. We have also relied on title
insurance commitments as to the title to the Project Facilities,without examining the records of
the Borrower or original title records or abstracts of title.
By this opinion we assume no responsibility and render no opinion as to the correctness
or completeness of any information contained in the Official Statement used in connection with
the offer or sale of the Bonds.
Based on our examination,we are of the opinion, as of the date hereof, as follows:
1. The Issuer is a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of
Minnesota, and pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 462C, as amended (the "Act"), the
Issuer is authorized to issue the Bonds,to loan the proceeds thereof to the Borrower,to execute
and deliver the Loan Agreement,the Indenture and the Development Agreement and to assign
the Mortgage to the Trustee.
2. The Loan Agreement, the Indenture, the Development Agreement and the
Assignment of Mortgage are each a valid and binding instrument of the Issuer, enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms.
3. The Bonds have been duly authorized,executed and delivered by the Issuer and
are valid and binding special, limited obligations of the Issuer. The Bonds are secured by an
assignment of loan repayments payable by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement that are
scheduled to be sufficient(if timely paid in full)to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
when due, and by the pledge of the funds and investments held by the Trustee under the
Indenture for payment or security for such Bonds. Payment of the loan repayments is secured
by the Mortgage.
4. Assuming compliance by all parties with the covenants in the Loan Agreement
and the Indenture, interest on the Bonds is not includable in gross income for purposes of
Federal income taxation or in taxable income of individuals, estates and trusts for purposes of
Minnesota income taxation under present laws regulations,rulings and decisions.Interest on the
Bonds is not an item of tax preference required to be included in the computation of"alternative
minimum taxable income" for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax applicable to
individuals under Section 55 of the Code or Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to
individuals,trusts and estates. Interest on the Bonds is includable in"adjusted current earnings"
for purposes of the computation of"alternative minimum taxable income"of corporations under
Section 55 of the Code and is subject to the Minnesota franchise tax imposed upon corporations,
including financial institutions, measured by taxable income and the alternative minimum tax
base. The Bonds are not arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. The
Bonds are"private activity bonds"within the meaning of Section 141(a)and"qualified 501(c)(3)
bonds" within the meaning of Section 145 of the Code. We express no opinion as to any other
federal or state tax consequences caused by the receipt or accrual of interest on the Bonds or
arising from ownership of the Bonds.
5. In connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the City has adopted a housing
program which is sufficient for purposes of the Act and is consistent with the City's housing
plan.
6. The Issuer has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for
purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
It should be understood that the rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability
of the Bonds, the Indenture and the Borrower Documents may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and by equitable principles, whether considered at law or in equity.

supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our
attention or any changes in law or facts that may hereafter occur.
