Authorization; Award of Sale. 1.01. Authorization. The Authority and City of Mound (the "City") have heretofore approved the establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-2 (the "TIF District") pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.174 to 469.179, as amended (the "Tax Increment Act") within Development District No. 1 (the "Project"), and have adopted a tax increment financing plan for the purpose of financing certain improvements within the Project. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.178, the Authority is authorized to issue and sell its bonds or notes for the purpose of financing a portion of the public redevelopment costs of the Project. Such bonds or notes are payable from all or any portion of tax increment revenues derived from the T1F District and pledged to the payment of the bonds or notes. The Authority hereby finds and determines that it is in the best interests of the Authority that it issue and sell its Taxable Tax Increment Revenue Notes (MetroPlains Redevelopment Project), Series 2002, in a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3,210,000 (the "Notes") for the purpose of financing certain public costs of the Project. 1.02. Issuance, Sale, and Terms of the Notes. The Notes shall be issued in accordance with that certain Amended and Restated Contract for Private Redevelopment between the Authority and MetroPlains Development LLC (the "Redeveloper") dated January 8, 2002, as amended by the First Amendment thereto dated April 24, 2002 and approved under Section 8 hereof (the "Agreement"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Redeveloper has retained Miller Johnson Steichen Kinnard, Inc. (the "Placement Agent") to arrange the sale of the Notes. The Authority hereby authorizes issuance of the Notes in accordance with terms set forth in this resolution to the purchaser or purchasers designated by Placement Agent, at a price of par. The Notes shall be dated as of the date of delivery thereof and shall bear interest at the rate of interest per annum not to exceed 7.5 percent to the earlier of maturity or prepayment. If more than one Note is purchased, payment schedules will be prepared for each Note by prorating the payments based on the respective principal amounts of the Notes. This authorization to issue the Notes is effective without any additional action of the Board and shall be undertaken by the Executive Director on such date and upon the terms and conditions deemed reasonable by the Executive Director. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Executive Director is authorized to set the interest rate on the Notes (up to the maximum rate specified above), to approve changes in the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes (up to the maximum aggregate principal amount set forth in Section 1.01), in the terms of prepayment, the principal amounts subject to payment or prepayment, and the dates of payment or prepayment of the Notes, and the other terms of the Notes. The issuance and delivery of the Notes shall be conclusive evidence that the Executive Director has approved any changes to the forms of the Notes on file with the Authority on the date hereof. SJB-213025v2 MU195-14 1.03. Optional Prepayment. The Authority may elect on February 1, 2004 or any date thereafter (each an "Optional Redemption Date") to prepay the Notes in whole or in part. Any prepayment amount will be applied prorata among the appropriate outstanding Notes based on their outstanding principal amounts. If the Authority prepays any Note in part, the prepayment will be applied to the appropriate outstanding principal amounts of the Note in inverse order of principal installments due. Except in the case of deemed prepayments described in Section 4.04 hereof, twenty-five day's prior notice of any such prepayment shall be given by first-class mail by the Registrar to the registered owners of any Notes to be prepaid in whole or part. Upon notice having been so given, the Notes shall be due and payable at the stated prepayment date and price with accrued interest to the prepayment date, and upon such payment on the specified prepayment date, interest thereon shall cease to accrue after such prepayment date.

If funds in at least the amount of $20,000 are on deposit in the Prepayment Reserve Account on any permitted Optional Redemption Date, the Authority shall be deemed to have elected to prepay such Note, pursuant to Section 1.03 hereof, in the amount of the funds on deposit in the Prepayment Reserve Account on such Optional Redemption Date. Such prepayment shall be made in accordance with Section 1.03, except that no prior written notice to the Owner is required. 4.05. Investment of Funds.

SJB-213025vl 9 MU195-14 Section 7. Continuing Disclosure. The continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule") do not apply to the Notes, because the offering is exempt from such requirements under Section 15c2-12(d)(1)(i). Consequently, the Authority will not enter into any undertaking to provide continuing disclosure of any kind with respect to the Notes. Section 8. Contract Amendment Approved. The Authority approves the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Contract for Private Redevelopment between the Authority and the Redeveloper, and authorizes the Chair and Executive Director to execute that document in the form on file in City Hall, subject to modifications approved by such officials, whose execution of the document will be conclusive evidence of their approval.
