payment date, said note shall be dated as of a date to be established by the subsequent action of
the City Council, (b) if such date of issuance shall be an interest payment date, said note shall be
dated as of such interest payment date, or (c) if interest due on said note shall not have been paid
in full, then, notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, said note shall be dated as of the

principal amount thereof to be redeemed shall be $5,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and the
note registrar shall assign each note of such maturity a distinctive number for each $5,000
principal amount of such note and shall select by lot from the numbers so assigned as many
numbers as, at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the principal amount of such notes to be
redeemed. The notes to be redeemed shall be the notes to which were assigned the numbers so
selected, provided that only so much of the principal amount of each note shall be redeemed as
shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected.
Notice of the redemption of notes shall be mailed not less than 30 days nor more than
60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to the registered owners of notes to be
redeemed at their last addresses appearing on said registration books. The notes or portions
thereof specified in said notice shall become due and payable at the applicable redemption price
on the redemption date therein designated, and if, on the redemption date, moneys for payment
of the redemption price of all the notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, together with interest
to the redemption date, shall be available for such payment on said date, then from and after the
redemption date interest on such notes or portions thereof shall cease to accrue and shall become
payable. If there shall be drawn for redemption less than all of a note, the City shall execute and
the note registrar shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such note, without charge
to the owner thereof, for the unredeemed balance of the note so surrendered, notes of like
maturity and of the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof.

any notes shall cease to hold such office before the issuance of the notes, such notes shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the person whose signature, or
a facsimile thereof, appears on such notes had not ceased to hold such office. Any note may be

Section 6. Transfer, Exchange and Registry. The notes shall be negotiable, subject to
the provisions for registration of transfer contained herein. Each note shall be transferable only
upon the registration books maintained by the City for that purpose at the office of the note
registrar, by the registered owner thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing,
upon surrender thereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the note
registrar and duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the
surrender for transfer of any such note, the City shall execute and the note registrar shall
authenticate and deliver a new note or notes registered in the name of the transferee, of the same
aggregate principal amount, maturity and interest rate as the surrendered note. Notes, upon
surrender thereof at the office of the note registrar, with a written instrument satisfactory to the
note registrar, duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of notes of the same maturity and
interest rate and of the denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof.
For every such exchange or registration of transfer of notes, the City or the note registrar
may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge
7
required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by
the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the
privilege of making such exchange or transfer. No other charge shall be made for the privilege
of making such transfer or exchange.
The note registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any note after notice of
the redemption of all or a portion thereof has been mailed. The note registrar shall not be
required to transfer or exchange any note during a period of 15 days next preceding the mailing
of a notice of redemption that could designate for redemption all or a portion of such note.
The City and the note registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name any note
shall be registered upon the registration books as the absolute owner of such note, whether such
note shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest thereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, and all
such payments so made to any such registered owner or upon his order shall be valid and
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such note to the extent of the sums or sums so
paid, and neither the City nor the note registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In order to provide for the initial issuance of the notes in a form that provides for a
system of book-entry only transfers, the ownership of one fully registered note for each maturity
in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity shall be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as a nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC").
In the event that the City determines that the system of book-entry only transfers through DTC
(or a successor securities depository) is not in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners (as
hereinafter defined) of the notes or is burdensome to the City, the City may notify DTC,
whereupon DTC will notify the DTC Participants (as hereinafter defined) of the availability
through DTC of note certificates. In such event, the City shall issue and the note registrar shall
authenticate, transfer and exchange note certificates as requested by DTC of like principal
amount, series and maturity, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof to the
identifiable Beneficial Owners, in replacement of such Beneficial Owners' beneficial interests in
the notes. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term "Beneficial Owners" shall mean (a) those
persons for whom DTC was created to hold their securities ("DTC Participants"), and (b)the
persons for whom the DTC Participants acquire interests in the notes as nominees.
Section 7. Note Registrar. The City has contracted with and designated Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., Chicago, Illinois, to serve as fiscal agent pursuant to Section 67.10(2), Wisconsin
Statutes, and as note registrar. The City covenants that it maintain at the designated office of
such note registrar a place where notes may be presented for payment and registration of transfer
or exchange and that it shall require that the note registrar maintain proper registration books and
perform the other duties and obligations imposed upon it by this resolution in a manner
consistent with the standards, customs and practices of the municipal securities business.
The note registrar shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon
it by this resolution by executing the certificate of authentication on any note, and by such
execution the note registrar shall be deemed to have certified to the City that it has all requisite
power to accept, and has accepted, such duties and obligations not only with respect to the note
so authenticated but with respect to all the notes. The note registrar is the agent of the City and
shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties except for its own negligence
or default. The note registrar shall, however, be responsible for any representation in its
certificate of authentication on the notes.
The City may remove the note registrar at any time. In case at any time the note registrar
shall resign or shall be removed or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver, liquidator or conservator of the note registrar, or of its
property, shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall take charge or control of the note
registrar or of its property or affairs, the City covenants and agrees that it will thereupon appoint
a successor note registrar. The City shall mail notice of such appointment made by it to each
registered owner of notes within 20 days after such appointment. Any successor note registrar
appointed under the provisions of this Section, other than the Finance Director, shall be a bank,
trust company or national banking association maintaining its principal corporate trust office in
the State of Wisconsin, the City of Chicago, Illinois, or the Borough of Manhattan, City and
State of New York.
Section 8. Sale of Notes. The notes shall be advertised for sale by the City Clerk in the
manner provided herein, and the City Clerk is authorized to circulate an Official Statement
prepared by R.V. Norene & Associates, Glenview, Illinois, and an Official Notice of Sale.
When the notes shall have been sold, this Council will adopt the proceedings to award the
notes, fix the interest rates thereon in accordance with the bid accepted, and levy taxes to meet
principal thereof and interest thereon at maturity as required by law.
Section 9. Application and Investment of Note Proceeds. Following the sale of the
notes, the City Manager and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute and deliver
the notes to the purchasers thereof upon payment therefor; and the principal proceeds from the
sale of the notes shall be used only for the purposes and in the manner required by law and by
this resolution. The proceeds may be invested in the manner permitted by law, subject to the
restrictions contained in the next succeeding section.
Section 10. Tax Covenants.
(a) The City shall not take, nor omit to take, any action that is lawful and
within its power to take, which action or omission would cause interest on any note to
become subject to federal income taxes in addition to federal income taxes to which
interest on such note is subject on the date of issuance thereof.
(b) The City shall not permit any of the proceeds of the notes, or any facilities
financed with such proceeds, to be used in any manner that would cause any note to
constitute a "private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").
(c) The City shall not permit any of the proceeds of the notes or other moneys
to be invested in any manner that would cause any note to constitute an "arbitrage bond"
within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
(d) The City shall comply with the provisions of Section 148(0 of the Code
relating to the payment of certain investment earnings at periodic intervals to the
United States of America; provided, however, that such payment shall not be required to
the extent the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel (which
opinion may be given in reliance upon a ruling or rulings of the Internal Revenue
Service) to the effect that such payment is not necessary to preserve the exemption from
federal income taxes of interest on the notes.
Section 11. Continuing Disclosure. For the benefit of the beneficial owners of the
notes, the City covenants and agrees to provide an annual report containing certain financial
information and operating data relating to the City. The annual report shall be filed with each
Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Repository and with the Wisconsin
state information depository, if any, within 180 days after the close of the City's fiscal year. The
Annual Report may be submitted as a single document or as separate documents comprising a
package. The City may include the information described below by cross-reference from official
statements of debt issues of the City, which have been submitted to each Nationally Recognized
Municipal Securities Information Repository and with the Wisconsin state information
depository, if any, and are available from the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The
information to be contained in the annual report shall consist of the annual audited financial
statement of the City for the most recently completed prior fiscal year and such additional
information as noted in the official statement relating to the notes under the caption "Continuing
Disclosure." Each annual audited financial statement will conform to generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to governmental units prepared in accordance with standards of
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
The City also covenants and agrees for the benefit of the beneficial owners of the notes to
provide timely notice to each Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information
Repository and to the Wisconsin state information depository, if any, of any failure of the City to
file any such annual report within the 180-day period and of the occurrence of any of the
following events with respect to the notes, if material: (1)principal and interest payment
delinquencies; (2) non-payment related defaults; (3) unscheduled draws on debt service reserves
reflecting financial difficulties; (4)unscheduled draws on credit enhancements reflecting
financial difficulties; (5) substitution of credit or liquidity providers, or their failure to perform;
(6) adverse tax opinions or events affecting the tax-exempt status of the notes; (7) modifications
to fights of noteholders; (8)note calls; (9)defeasances; (10)release, substitution or sale of
property securing repayment of the notes; and (11) rating changes.

Section in order to assist participating underwriters of the notes and brokers, dealers and
municipal securities dealers in complying with Securities and Exchange Commission
Rule 15c2-12 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The chief financial
officer of the City is authorized and directed to do and perform, or cause to be done or
performed, for or on behalf of the City, each and every thing necessary to accomplish the
undertakings of the City contained in this Section for so long as said Rule 15c2-12 is applicable
to the notes and the City remains an "obligated person" under the Rule with respect to the notes.
10
Notwithstanding any other provisions in this resolution to the contrary, failure of the City
to perform any covenant in this Section 11 shall not constitute an event of default hereunder;
however, any noteholder may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including
seeking mandamus or specific performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its
obligations under this Section 11.
The City may amend the provisions of this Section 11 and any provision of this
Section 11 may be waived, if:
(a) such amendment or waiver is made in connection with a change in
circumstances that arises from a change in legal requirements, change in law or change in
the identity, nature or status of the City, or the activities conducted at the financed
facilities;
(b) the undertaking herein, as amended or waived, would have complied with
the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule") at the time of the primary
offering of the notes, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the
Rule, as well as any change in circumstances; and
(c) the amendment or waiver (i)does not materially impair the interests of
noteholders, as determined by an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel expert in
federal securities laws acceptable to the City, or (ii) is approved by the affirmative vote of
noteholders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes
at the time such consent is given.

explain, in narrative form, the reasons for the amendment or waiver and the impact of the change
on the type of financial information being provided.
