listed in each Schedule in accordance with this Agreement and that Schedule for the Lease Term for the Lease of which that Schedule is a part. The Lease
Term for each Lease may be continued at the end of the Original Term or any Renewal Term for an additional Renewal Term; provided, however, that at
the end of the Original Term and at the end of each Renewal Term, Lessee shall be deemed to have continued that Lease for the next Renewal Term unless
Lessee shall have terminated that Lease pursuant to Section 4.05 or Section 5.04. The terms and conditions during any Renewal Term shall be the same
as the terms and conditions during the Original Term, except that the Rental Payments shall be as provided in the Schedules. Lessor hereby covenants to
provide Lessee during the Lease Term with quiet use and enjoyment of the Equipment, and Lessee shall during the Lease Term peaceably and quietly have
and hold and enjoy the Equipment, without suit, trouble or hindrance from Lessor, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
Section 3.02. Continuation of Lease Term. Lessee currently intends, subject to Section 4.05, to continue the Lease Term for each Lease through the Original
Term and all of the Renewal Terms and to pay the Rental Payments hereunder. Lessee reasonably believes that legally available funds in an amount sufficient
to make all Rental Payments during the Lease Term for each Lease can be obtained. The responsible financial officer of Lessee shall do all things lawfully
within his or her power to obtain and maintain funds from which the Rental Payments may be made, including making provision for the Rental Payments to the
extent necessary in each proposed annual budget submitted for approval in accordance with applicable procedures of Lessee and to exhaust all available
reviews and appeals in the event such portion of the budget is not approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision whether or not to budget or appropriate
funds or to extend a Lease for any Renewal Term is solely within the discretion of the then current governing body of Lessee.
Section 3.03. Return of Equipment on Termination. Upon expiration or earlier termination of any Schedule under any provision of this Agreement at a time
when Lessee does not exercise its option to purchase the Equipment described in that Schedule under the provisions of this Agreement, Lessee shall deliver,
bed in that Schedule to Lessor in the same condition as existed at the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and
tear expected, packaged or otherwise prepared in a manner suitable by shipment by truck or rail common carrier at a location specified by Lessor.

the execution and delivery of any Schedule, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor the following:

(c) All documents, including financing statements, affidavits, notices and similar instruments, in form satisfactory to Lessor, which Lessor deems
necessary or appropriate at that time;
(d) Such other items, if any, as are set forth in such Schedule or are reasonably required by Lessor.

documentation or information Lessor may request in connection with Lessor's review of any proposed Schedule. Such documentation may include, without
limitation, documentation concerning the Equipment and its contemplated use and location and documentation or information concerning the financial status
of Lessee and other matters related to Lessee.
ARTICLE IV. RENTAL PAYMENTS
Section 4.01. Rental Payments to Constitute a Current Expense of Lessee. Lessor and Lessee understand and intend that the obligation of Lessee to pay
Rental Payments hereunder shall constitute a current expense of Lessee and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of Lessee in contravention of
any applicable constitutional or statutory limitations or requirements concerning the creation of indebtedness by Lessee, nor shall anything contained herein
constitute a pledge of the general tax revenues, funds or monies of Lessee.
Section 4.02. Payment of Rental Payments. Lessee shall pay Rental Payments, from any and all legally available funds, in lawful money of the United
States of America, exclusively to Lessor or, in the event of assignment by Lessor, to its assignee, in the amounts and on the dates set forth in each Schedule.
Rental Payments shall be in consideration for Lessee's use of the Equipment during the applicable year in which such payments are due. The Rental
Payments will be payable without notice or demand at the office of Lessor (or such other place as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing). If any
Rental Payment or other sum payable under any Schedule is not paid when due, Lessee shall pay to Lessor accrued interest on such delinquent amount
from the date due thereof until paid at the lesser of 18% or the maximum rate allowed by law. In the event that it is determined that any of the interest
~ 5 ~MuniStd
components of Rental Payments may not be excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor promptly
after any such determination and on the date of each Rental Payment thereafter an additional amount determined by Lessor to compensate Lessor for the
loss of such excludability (including without limitation, compensation relating to interest expense, penalties or additions to tax), which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 4.03. Interest and Principal Components. A portion of each Rental Payment is paid as, and represents payment of, interest, and the balance of
each Rental Payment is paid as, and represents payment of, principal. Each Schedule will set forth the interest component and the principal component of
each Rental Payment during the Lease Term.
Section 4.04. Rental Payments to be Unconditional. The obligations of Lessee to make payment of the Rental Payments required under this Article IV and
other sections hereof, and to perform and observe the covenants and agreements contained herein, shall be absolute and unconditional in all events, except
as expressly provided under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any dispute between Lessee and Lessor, any Vendor or any other dispute between Lessee
and Lessor, any Vendor or any other person, Lessee shall make all payments of Rental Payments when due and shall not withhold any Rental Payments
pending final resolution of such dispute, nor shall Lessee assert any right of set-off or counterclaim against its obligation to make such payments required
under this Agreement. Lessee's obligation to make Rental Payments during the Original Term or the then-current Renewal Term for each Schedule shall
not be abated through accident or unforeseen circumstances.
Section 4.05. Non appropriation. Lessee is obligated only to pay such Rental Payments under this Agreement (and any additional amounts due hereunder,
if applicable) as may lawfully be made from funds budgeted and appropriated for that purpose during Lessee's then current fiscal year. Should Lessee fail
to budget, appropriate or otherwise make available funds to pay Rental Payments under a Lease following the then current Original Term or Renewal Term,
that Lease shall be deemed terminated at the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term. Lessee agrees to deliver written notice to Lessor of
such termination at least 60 days prior to the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term, but failure to give such written notice shall not extend
the term beyond such Original Term or Renewal Term.
ARTICLE V. TITLE TO EQUIPMENT; SECURITY INTEREST; OPTION TO PURCHASE
Section 5.01. Title to the Equipment. Upon acceptance of the Equipment by Lessee, title to the Equipment and any and all additions, repairs, replacements
or modifications shall vest in Lessee, subject to the rights of Lessor under this Agreement; provided that title to the Equipment that is subject to any Lease
shall thereafter immediately and without any action by Lessee vest in Lessor, and Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of that Equipment to
Lessor, upon (a) any termination of that Lease other than termination pursuant to Section 5.04, or (b) the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to
that Lease. It is the intent of the parties hereto that any transfer of title to Lessor pursuant to this Section shall occur automatically without the necessity of
any bill of sale, certificate of title or other instrument of conveyance. Lessee shall, nevertheless, execute and deliver any such instruments as Lessor may
request to evidence such transfer.
Section 5.02. Security Interest. To secure the payment of all Lessee's obligations under this Agreement, Lessee grants to Lessor a security interest
constituting a first lien on (i) the Equipment and on all additions, attachments, accessions, that are considered to be an integral part of the equipment, and
substitutions thereto, and on any proceeds there from, and (ii) the acquisition fund established under any Escrow Agreement entered into in connection
therewith. Lessee agrees to execute such additional documents, in form satisfactory to Lessor, which Lessor deems necessary or appropriate to establish
and maintain its security interest in the Equipment. Lessee hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code in
connection with the security interest granted hereunder.
Section 5.03. Personal Property. Lessor and Lessee agree that the Equipment is and will remain personal property and will not be deemed to be affixed to
or a part of the real estate on which it may be situated, notwithstanding that the Equipment or any part thereof may be or hereafter become in any manner
physically affixed or attached to real estate or any building thereon. Upon the request of Lessor, Lessee will, at Lessee's expense, furnish a waiver of any
interest in the Equipment from any party having an interest in any such real estate or building.
Section 5.04. Option to Purchase. Lessee shall have the option to purchase Lessor's interest in all (but not less than all) of the Equipment described in any
Schedule, upon giving written notice to Lessor at least 60 (but not more than 180) days before the date of purchase, at the following times and upon the
following terms:
(a) On the date of the last Rental Payment set forth in that Schedule (assuming this Agreement is renewed at the end of the Original Term and each
Renewal Term), if the Agreement is still in effect on such day, upon payment in full to Lessor of the Rental Payments and all other amounts then
due under that Schedule plus One Dollar;
(b) On the last day of the Original Term or any Renewal Term then in effect, upon payment in full to Lessor of the Rental Payments and all other
amounts then due under that Schedule plus the then applicable Purchase Option Price set forth in that Schedule; or
(c) In the event of substantial damage to or destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Equipment listed in that Schedule on the day specified
in Lessee's written notice to Lessor of its exercise of the purchase option upon payment in full to Lessor of the Rental Payments and all other
amounts then due under that Schedule, including, without limitation, interest accrued to the date of payment, plus the then applicable Purchase
Option Price set forth in that Schedule.
ARTICLE VI. DELIVERY, MAINTENANCE; MODIFICATION; TAXES; INSURANCE AND OTHER CHARGES
Section 6.01. Delivery, Installation and Acceptance of Equipment. Lessee shall order the Equipment, cause the Equipment to be delivered and installed
at the locations specified in the Schedules and pay any and all delivery and installation costs in connection therewith. When the Equipment listed in any
Schedule has been delivered and installed, Lessee shall immediately accept such Equipment and evidence said acceptance by executing and delivering to
Lessor an Acceptance Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.
Section 6.02. Location; Inspection. Once installed, no item of the Equipment will be moved from the location specified for it in the Schedule on which that
item is listed without Lessor's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor shall have the right at all reasonable times during regular
business hours to enter into and upon the property of Lessee for the purpose of inspecting the Equipment.
Section 6.03. Maintenance of Equipment by Lessee. Lessee agrees that at all times during the Lease Term Lessee will, at Lessee's own cost and expense,
maintain, preserve and keep the Equipment in good repair, working order and condition, and that Lessee will from time to time make or cause to be made
all necessary and proper repairs, replacements and renewals. Lessor shall have no responsibility in any of these matters, or for the making of improvements
or additions to the Equipment. Lessee shall not make material modifications to the Equipment without the prior consent of Lessor.
Section 6.04. Liens, Taxes, Other Governmental Charges and Utility Charges. Lessee shall keep the Equipment free of all liens, charges and encumbrances
except those created by this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement contemplate that the Equipment will be used for a governmental or proprietary
purpose of Lessee and, therefore, that the Equipment will be exempt from all taxes presently assessed and levied with respect to personal property. In the
event that the use, possession or acquisition of the Equipment is found to be subject to taxation in any form (except for income taxes of Lessor), Lessee will
pay, as the same respectively come due, all taxes and governmental charges of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be lawfully assessed or levied
against or with respect to the Equipment and any equipment or other property acquired by Lessee in substitution for, as a renewal or replacement of, or a
modification, improvement or addition to the Equipment, as well as all gas, water, steam, electricity, heat, power, telephone, utility and other charges incurred
in the operation, maintenance, use, occupancy and upkeep of the Equipment; provided that, with respect to any governmental charges that may lawfully be
paid in installments over a period of years, Lessee shall be obligated to pay only such installments as have accrued during the Lease Term. Lessee will
take no action that will cause the interest portion of any Rental payment to become includable in gross income of the recipient for purposes of federal income
taxation under the Code, and Lessee will take, and will cause its officers, employees and agents to take, all affirmative action legally within its power to
prevent such interest from being includable in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation under the
d with respect to this Agreement is dependent upon the interest component of each Rental Payment being
~ 6 ~MuniStd
Section 6.05. Provisions Regarding Insurance. At its own expense, Lessee shall maintain (a) casualty insurance insuring the Equipment against loss or
damage by fire and all other risks covered by the standard extended coverage endorsement then in use in the State, and any other risks reasonably required
by Lessor, in an amount at least equal to the replacement cost of the Equipment, (b) liability insurance that protects Lessor from liability in all events in form
and amount satisfactory to Lessor and (c) workers' compensation coverage as required by the laws of the State; provided that, with Lessor's prior written
consent, Lessee may self-insure against the risks described in clauses (a) and (b); provided further that, if Lessor provides such consent Lessee shall provide
to Lessor information with respect to such self-insurance program as Lessor may request from time to time. All insurance proceeds from casualty losses
shall be payable as hereinafter provided. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor certificates evidencing such coverage throughout the Lease Term. All such casualty
and liability insurance shall be with insurers that are acceptable to Lessor, shall name Lessor as a loss payee and an additional insured, respectively, and
shall contain a provision to the effect that such insurance shall not be canceled or modified materially without first giving written notice thereof to Lessor at
least 30 days in advance of such cancellation or modification. All such casualty insurance shall contain a provision making any losses payable to Lessee
and Lessor as their respective interests may appear.
Section 6.06. Advances. In the event Lessee shall fail to maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Agreement or shall fail to keep the Equipment
in good repair and operating condition, Lessor may (but shall be under no obligation to) purchase the required insurance and pay the premiums on the same
or may make such repairs or replacements as are necessary and provide for payment thereof; and all amounts so advanced therefore by Lessor shall
constitute additional rent for the then-current Original Term or Renewal Term, and Lessee covenants and agrees to pay such amounts so advanced by
Lessor with interest thereon from the date advanced until paid at the rate of 18% per annum or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, whichever is
less.
ARTICLE VII. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION: USE OF NET PROCEEDS
Section 7.01. Risk of Loss. Lessee is responsible for the entire risk of loss of or damage or destruction to the Equipment. No such loss, damage or
destruction shall relieve Lessee of any obligation under this Agreement or any Lease.
Section 7.02. Damage, Destruction and Condemnation. If (a) the Equipment listed on any Schedule or any portion thereof is destroyed, in whole or in part,
or is damaged by fire or other casualty or (b) title to, or the temporary use of, the Equipment or any part thereof shall be taken under the exercise of the
power of eminent domain by any governmental body or by any person, firm or corporation acting pursuant to governmental authority, Lessee and Lessor
will cause the Net Proceeds of any insurance claim or condemnation award to be applied to the prompt replacement, repair, restoration, modification or
improvement of that Equipment, unless Lessee shall have exercised its option to purchase that Equipment pursuant to Section 5.04. Any balance of the
Net Proceeds remaining after such work has been completed shall be paid to Lessee.
Section 7.03. Insufficiency of Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the cost of any replacement, repair, restoration, modification
or improvement referred to in Section 7.02, Lessee shall either complete such replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement and pay any
costs thereof in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds, unless Lessee, pursuant to Section 5.04, purchases Lessor's interest in the Equipment destroyed,
damaged or taken and any other Equipment listed in the same Schedule. The amount of the Net Proceeds, if any, remaining after completing such repair,
restoration, modification or improvement or after purchasing Lessor's interest in the Equipment shall be retained by Lessee. If Lessee shall make any
payments pursuant to this Section, Lessee shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefore from Lessor nor shall Lessee be entitled to any diminution
of the amounts payable under Article IV.
ARTICLE VIII. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; VENDOR'S WARRANTIES; USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
Section 8.01. Disclaimer of Warranties. LESSEE HAS SELECTED THE EQUIPMENT AND THE VENDORS. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE VALUE, DESIGN, CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR FITNESS FOR USE OF THE EQUIPMENT, OR WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT THERETO. In no
event shall Lessor be liable for an incidental, indirect, special or consequential damage in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the existence,
furnishing, functioning or Lessee's use of any item or products or service provided for in this Agreement.
Section 8.02. Vendor's Warranties. Lessor hereby irrevocably appoints Lessee its agent and attorney-in-fact during the Lease Term, so long as Lessee
shall not be in default hereunder, to assert from time to time whatever claims and rights, including warranties of the Equipment, which Lessor may have
against the Vendor of the Equipment. Lessee's sole remedy for the breach of such warranty, indemnification or representation shall be against the Vendor
of the Equipment, and not against Lessor, nor shall such matter have any effect, whatsoever on the rights and obligations of Lessor with respect to this
Agreement, including the right to receive full and timely payments hereunder. Lessee expressly acknowledges that Lessor makes, and has made no
representation or warranties whatsoever as to the existence or availability of such warranties of the Vendor of the Equipment.

operation of each item of the Equipment) with all laws of the jurisdictions in which its operations involving any item of Equipment may extend and any
legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body exercising any power or jurisdiction over the items of the Equipment; provided, however, that Lessee
may contest in good faith the validity or application of any such law or rule in any reasonable manner which does not, in the opinion of Lessor, adversely
affect the title of Lessor in and to any of the items of the Equipment or its interest or rights under this Agreement.
Section 8.04. Essential Nature of the Equipment. Lessee confirms and affirms that the Equipment is essential to the function of Lessee and the services
provided to its citizens, that there is an immediate need for the Equipment which is not temporary or expected to diminish in the foreseeable future, and that
Lessee will use substantially all the Equipment for the purpose of performing one or more governmental or proprietary functions consistent with the
permissible scope of its authority.

whole or in part to one or more assignees by Lessor at any time subsequent to its execution. Lessee hereby agrees to maintain a written record of each
such assignment in form necessary to comply with Section 149(a) of the Code. No such assignment shall be binding on Lessee until it has received written
notice from Lessor of the assignment disclosing the name and address of the assignee. Lessee agrees to execute all documents, including chattel mortgages
or financing statements that may be reasonably requested by Lessor or any assignee to protect its interests in the Equipment and in this Agreement. Lessee
shall not have the right to and shall not assert against any assignee any claim, counterclaim, defense, set-off or other right Lessee may from time to time
have against Lessor.

stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period, Lessor will not unreasonably withhold its consent to an extension of such
time if corrective action is instituted by Lessee within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected;
(c) Any statement, representation or warranty made by Lessee in or pursuant to that Lease or its execution, delivery or performance shall prove to
have been false, incorrect, misleading or breached in any material respect on the date when made;
(d) Any provision of that Lease shall at any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding on Lessee, or shall be declared to be null and void, or
the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by Lessee or any governmental agency or authority if the loss of such provision would

Section 10.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default under any Lease exists, Lessor shall have the right, at its sole option without any
further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:
(a) By written notice to Lessee, declare all Rental Payments and other amounts payable by Lessee under that Lease to the end of the then current
Original Term or Renewal Term to be due;
(b) With or without terminating that Lease, Lessor may, upon 5 days written notice to Lessee, enter the premises where any Equipment that is subject
to that Lease is located and retake possession of that Equipment or require Lessee at Lessee's expense to promptly return any or all of the
Equipment to the possession of Lessor at such place within the United States as Lessor shall specify, and sell or lease the Equipment or, for the
account of Lessee, sublease the Equipment, continuing to hold Lessee liable for the difference between (i) the Rental Payments and other amounts
payable by Lessee under that Lease plus the then-applicable Purchase Option Price for that Equipment and (ii) the net proceeds of any such sale,
leasing or subleasing (after deducting all expenses of Lessor in exercising its remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation all
expenses of taking possession, storing, reconditioning and selling or leasing the Equipment and all brokerage, auctioneers' and attorneys' fees)
lity under this subparagraph (b) shall not exceed the Rental Payments and other amounts otherwise due
under that Lease plus the remaining Rental Payments and other amounts payable by Lessee under that Lease to the end of the then current
Original Term or Renewal Term; and
(c) Lessor may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under that Lease or as the owner of
any or all of the Equipment that is subject to that Lease.
In addition, whenever an Event of Default exists with respect to any Rental Payment required by a particular Schedule or with respect to any other payment,
covenant, condition, agreement, statement, representation or warranty set forth in that Schedule or applicable to that Schedule or the Equipment listed
therein, Lessor shall have the right, at its sole option without any further demand or notice, to take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:

by Lessee under this Agreement to the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term to be due;
(e) With or without terminating that Schedule, Lessor may, upon 5 days written notice to Lessee, enter the premises where the Equipment listed in
that Schedule is located and retake possession of that Equipment or require Lessee at Lessee's expense to promptly return any or all of that
Equipment to the possession of Lessor at such place within the United States as Lessor shall specify, and sell or lease that Equipment or, for the
account of Lessee, sublease that Equipment, continuing to hold Lessee liable for the difference between (i) the Rental Payments payable by
Lessee pursuant to that Schedule and other amounts related to that Schedule or the Equipment listed therein that are payable by Lessee hereunder
plus the then applicable Purchase Option Price for that Equipment, and (ii) the net proceeds of any such sale, leasing or subleasing (after deducting
all expenses of Lessor in exercising its remedies under this Agreement, including without limitation all expenses of taking possession, storing,
reconditioning and selling or leasing such Equipment and all brokerage, auctioneers' and attorneys' fees) provided that the amo

remaining Rental Payments and other amounts payable by Lessee under that Schedule to the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal
Term; and
(f) Lessor may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to enforce its rights under that Schedule, this Agreement
with respect to that Schedule and the Equipment listed therein.
In addition to the remedies specified above, Lessor may charge interest on all amounts due to it at the rate of 10% per annum or the maximum amount
permitted by law, whichever is less. The exercise of any such remedies respecting any such Event of Default shall not relieve Lessee of any other liabilities
under any other Schedules, this Agreement related to any other Schedule or the Equipment listed therein.
Section 10.03. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to Lessor by this Article is intended to be exclusive and every such remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this lease. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right and power may be exercised from time to
time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Lessor or its assignee.
. If Lessee should default under any of the provisions hereof and Lessor should employ
attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of moneys or for the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the
part of Lessee contained in this Agreement, Lessee agrees, to the extent it is permitted by law to do so, that it will, if assessed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, pay to Lessor the reasonable fees of those attorneys and other reasonable expenses so incurred by Lessor.
Section 10.05. Application of Moneys. Any net proceeds from the exercise of any remedy hereunder (after deducting all expenses of Lessor in exercising
such remedies including without limitation all expenses of taking possession, storing, reconditioning and selling or leasing Equipment and all brokerage,

that Schedule, then to amounts due pursuant to that Schedule and other amounts related to that Schedule or that Equipment.
(b) If such remedy is exercised with respect to more than one Schedule, Equipment listed in more than one Schedule or rights under the Agreement
related to more than one Schedule, then to amounts due pursuant to those Schedules pro rata.

OPINION OF LESSEE'S COUNSEL

Community First National Bank
215 S. Seth Child Road
Manhattan, KS 66502
Re: Lessee: City of Rosemount
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As legal counsel to City of Rosemount (the "Lessee"), I have examined (a) an executed counterpart of a certain Master Equipment Lease
Purchase Agreement, dated as of 1/28/2020, and Exhibits thereto by and between Community First National Bank (the "Lessor") and
Lessee, Schedule of Equipment No. 01, dated 1/2/2020, and a certain Escrow Agreement dated as of 1/28/2020, (collectively, the
which, among other things, provides for the lease with option to purchase by the Lessee
of certain property listed in the Schedule (the "Equipment"); (b) an executed counterpart of the ordinances or resolutions of Lessee which,
among other things, authorizes Lessee to execute the Agreement and (c) such other opinions, documents and matters of law as I have
deemed necessary in connection with the following opinions.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the following opinions:
(2) Lessee is a public body corporate and politic, duly organized and existing under the laws of the State, and has a substantial amount
of the following sovereign powers: (a) the power to tax, (b) the power of eminent domain, and (c) police power;
(3) Lessee has the requisite power and authority to lease the Equipment with an option to purchase and to execute and deliver the
Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Agreement;
(4) The Agreement and the other documents either attached thereto or required therein have been duly authorized, approved and
executed by and on behalf of Lessee and the Agreement and other documents either attached thereto or required therein are the
valid and binding obligations of Lessee enforceable in accordance with their terms;
(5) The authorization, approval and execution of the Agreement and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the transactions
contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all open meeting laws, public bidding laws and all other applicable
state or federal laws; and
(6) There is no proceeding pending or threatened in any court or before any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal that,
if adversely determined, would adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or the security interest of Lessor
or its assigns, as the case may be, in the Equipment.
(7) The signatures of the officers which appear on the Agreement are true and genuine; I know said officers and know them to hold the
offices set forth below their names.
(8) No further approval, consent or withholding of objection is required from any federal, state or local governmental authority with
respect to the entering into or performance by the Lessee of the Lease and the transaction contemplated thereby.
(9) The Equipment leased pursuant to the Agreement constitutes personal property and when subjected to use by Lessee will not be or
become fixtures under applicable law.
(10) The Lessee is a political subdivision within the meaning of Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended and the
related regulations and rulings.
(11) The leasing of the Equipment pursuant to the Agreement is exempt from all sales and use taxes against either the Lessor or the
Lessee during the term of the Lease pursuant to the Agreement and the Equipment will be exempt from all state and local personal
property or other ad valorem taxes.
All capitalized terms herein shall have the same meanings as in the foregoing Agreement unless otherwise provided herein. Lessor, its
successors and assigns, and any counsel rendering an opinion on the tax-exempt status of the interest components of the Rental Payments
are entitled to rely on this opinion.

As legal counsel to City of Rosemount (the "Lessee"), we have examined (a) an executed counterpart of a certain
Master Equipment Lease Purchase Agreement, dated as of 1/28/2020, and Exhibits thereto by and between
Community First National Bank (the "Lessor") and Lessee, Schedule of Equipment No. 01, dated 1/2/2020, and a
certain Escrow Agreement dated as of 1/28/2020, (collectively, the “Agreement”) by and between Lessor and Lessee,
which, among other things, provides for the lease with option to purchase by the Lessee of certain property listed in the
Schedule (the "Equipment"); (b) an executed counterpart of the ordinances or resolutions of Lessee which, among
other things, authorizes Lessee to execute the Agreement and (c) such other opinions, documents and matters of law
as we have deemed necessary in connection with the following opinions.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the following opinions:
(1) Lessee’s true and correct name is City of Rosemount.

has a substantial amount of the following sovereign powers: (a) the power to tax, (b) the power of eminent

(3) Lessee has the requisite power and authority to lease the Equipment with an option to purchase and to execute
and deliver the Agreement and to perform its obligations under the Agreement;

terms;
(5) The authorization, approval and execution of the Agreement and all other proceedings of Lessee relating to the
transactions contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all open meeting laws, public
bidding laws and all other applicable state or federal laws; and
(6) To the actual knowledge of Mary Tietjen and Jenny Boulton, the only attorneys at Kennedy & Graven, Chartered
who have given substantive legal representation to the Lessee in connection with the matters described herein,
there is no proceeding pending or threatened in any court or before any governmental authority or arbitration
board or tribunal that, if adversely determined, would adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the

(7) The signatures of the officers which appear on the Agreement are true and genuine; we know said officers and
know them to hold the offices set forth below their names.
(8) No further approval, consent or withholding of objection is required from any federal, state or local governmental

contemplated thereby.
