Attachment A maintained in the manner herein specified until all of the Bonds and any other General Obligation Tax Increment Revenue Bonds hereafter made payable from the Fund and issued for the Project, including any modifications or additions thereto, and the interest thereon have been fully paid. There shall be maintained in the Fund the following separate accounts to be designated the "Construction Account" and "Debt Service Account", respectively. (a) Construction Account. To the Construction Account there shall be credited the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, and less any amount paid for the Bonds in excess of the minimum bid. From the Construction Account there shall be paid all costs and expenses of the Project, including the cost of any construction contracts heretofore let and all other costs incurred and to be incurred of the kind authorized in Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.65. Moneys in the Construction Account shall be used for no other purpose except as otherwise provided by law; provided that the proceeds of the Bonds may also be used to the extent necessary to pay interest on the Bonds due prior to the anticipated date of commencement of the collection of the taxes herein levied or the receipt of Tax Increments. (b) Debt Service Account. There are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged to, and there shall be credited to, the Debt Service Account: (i) Tax Increments, in an amount sufficient, together with other sums herein pledged, to pay the annual principal and interest payments on the Bonds; (ii) any amount paid for the Bonds in excess of the minimum bid; (iii) any collections of all taxes herein or hereafter levied for the payment of the Bonds and interest thereon; (vi) all funds remaining in the Construction Account after completion of the Project and payment of the costs thereof; (vii) all investment earnings on funds held in the Debt Service Account; and (viii) any and all other moneys which are properly available and are appropriated by the governing body of the City to the Debt Service Account. The Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as provided by law. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acguire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly ar indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed far the purpose far which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under then-applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minar portion" made available under the federal arbitrage regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States ar any agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). 16 7172335v2
