VILLAGE OF LEMONT, ILLINOIS, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Authority, Purpose and Findings. This ordinance is adopted
pursuant to the Local Government Debt Reform Act, 30 Illinois Compiled Statutes
350, and the Tax Increment Allocation Redevelopment Act, 65 Illinois Compiled
Statutes 5/11 -74.4 (the "Redevelopment Act ") for the purpose of financing the
Village's share of the costs of the Main Street infrastructure improvements (the
"Project ") included in the Downtown Lemont Tax Increment Redevelopment Project
and Plan, dated March, 1991, and approved by Ordinance No. 690 of the Village of
Lemont, Illinois, adopted May 28, 1991.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 908, adopted by President and Board of Trustees
of the Village on September 25, 1995, and entitled: "Ordinance Authorizing the
Issuance of $1,500,000 Tax Increment Revenue Bonds of the Village of Lemont,
Illinois for the Purpose of Financing Redevelopment Project Costs," the Village
authorized the issuance of $1,500,000 tax increment revenue bonds pursuant to the
Redevelopment Act, for the purpose of financing the $1,500,000 estimated cost of
the Project.
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 909, adopted by said President and Board of
Trustees on September 25, 1995, and entitled: "Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance
of $1,500,000 General Obligation Alternate Bonds of the Village of Lemont, Illinois
for the Purpose of Financing Redevelopment Project Costs" (the "Authorizing
Ordinance ") the Village is authorized to issue $1,500,000 general obligation bonds for
the purpose of financing costs of the Project. Said general obligation bonds are
authorized to be issued as "alternate bonds" under Section 15 of the Local
Government Debt Reform Act and in lieu of the issuance of the revenue bonds
authorized by Ordinance No. 908. No bonds authorized by Ordinance No. 908 or
Ordinance No. 909 have been issued.
The Village determines that the costs of the Project are Redevelopment Project
Costs as defined in the Redevelopment Act. Pursuant to the Redevelopment Act, the
proceeds of sale of the bonds authorized by the Authorizing Ordinance are pledged to
pay such Redevelopment Project Costs. All bonds authorized pursuant to the
Authorizing Ordinance shall be payable from the portion of real property taxes
collected with respect to taxable real property in the Downtown Redevelopment
Project Area, designated by Ordinance No. 689 of the Village, adopted May 28, 1991,
that is paid to the Village Treasurer for deposit in the "1991 Lemont Downtown
Redevelopment Project Area Special Tax Allocation Fund" (the "Tax Allocation Fund ")
-2-
pursuant to Section 11- 74.4 -8 of the Redevelopment Act. Such tax receipts
constitute a "Revenue Source" within the meaning of Section 15 of the Local
Government Debt Reform Act and are herein called the "Revenue Source."
The Village determines to proceed with the financing of the Project by the
issuance of $1,400,000 of the $1,500,000 principal amount of general obligation
bonds authorized by the Authorizing Ordinance. In accordance with Section 5 of the
Local Government Debt Reform Act, this ordinance supplements the Authorizing
Ordinance.
Section 2. Authorization of Bonds. The sum of $1,400,000 is appropriated
to meet part of the estimated cost of the Project and the costs of issuance of the
bonds herein authorized, including bond insurance. For the purpose of financing said
appropriation, general obligation bonds of the Village (being the bonds authorized by
the Authorizing Ordinance) are authorized to be issued and sold in an aggregate
principal amount of $1,400,000, and shall be designated "General Obligation Tax
Increment Bonds, Series 1996 (Alternate Revenue Source)" (the "1996 Bonds ").
The 1996 Bonds are authorized and issued as "alternate bonds" pursuant to the
provisions of Section 15 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act and in lieu of the
issuance of revenue bonds pursuant to the Redevelopment Act. It is determined that
the Revenue Source will be sufficient to provide for or pay in each year to the final
maturity of the 1996 Bonds, an amount not Tess than 1.25 times debt service on all
(i) alternate bonds payable from such Revenue Source previously issued and
outstanding and (ii) the 1996 Bonds.
The determination of the sufficiency of the Revenue Source is supported by the
Independent Auditor's Report on Financial Statements regarding the financial
-3-
statements of the Village for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, which Report was
dated May 26, 1995 and prepared by Pandolfi, Topolski, Weiss & Co., Ltd., certified
public accountants.

denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof and may bear such
identifying numbers or letters as shall be useful to facilitate the registration, transfer

amounts thus advanced.
As soon as this ordinance becomes effective, a copy thereof certified by the
Village Clerk, which certificate shall recite that this ordinance has been duly adopted,
shall be filed with the County Clerk of Cook County, Illinois, the County Clerk of
DuPage County, Illinois and the County Clerk of Will County, Illinois, who are each

the same for collection on the tax books in connection with other taxes levied in said

years, in and by the Village for general corporate purposes of the Village, and in said

established by this ordinance, or otherwise held in trust for the payment of debt
service on the 1996 Bonds, together with the amount to be extended for collection
taking into account the proposed abatement, will be sufficient for the punctual

moneys in the 1996 Debt Service Fund or the 1996 Bond Proceeds Fund except in

federal income taxes to which interest on such 1996 Bond is subject on the date of
original issuance thereof.
The Village shall not permit any of the proceeds of the 1996 Bonds, or any
facilities financed with such proceeds, to be used in any manner that would cause any

of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
The Village shall not permit any of the proceeds of the 1996 Bonds or other
moneys to be invested in any manner that would cause any 1996 Bond to constitute
an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code

1996 Bonds as "qualified tax - exempt obligations" as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Village represents that the reasonably
anticipated amount of tax - exempt obligations that are required to be taken into
account for the purpose of Section 265(b)(3)(C) of the Code and will be issued by or
on behalf of the Village and all subordinate entities of the Village during 1996 does
not exceed $10,000,000. The Village covenants that it will not designate and issue
-20-
more than $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of tax - exempt obligations in the
year in which the 1996 Bonds are issued. For purposes of the two preceding
sentences, the term "tax- exempt obligations" includes "qualified 501(c)(3) bonds" (as

to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated events, if material.
The annual report shall be filed with each Nationally Recognized Municipal
Securities Information Repository and with the Illinois state information depository, if
any, within 180 days after the close of the Village's fiscal year. The information to
be contained in the annual report shall consist of the annual audited financial
statement of the Village and such additional information as noted in the Official
Statement under the caption "Continuing Disclosure." Each annual audited financial
statement will conform to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to
governmental units and will be prepared in accordance with standards of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board. If the audited financial statement is not
available, then an unaudited financial statement shall be included in the annual report
and the audited financial statement shall be filed within 30 days after it becomes
available.
The Village also covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the beneficial owners
of the 1996 Bonds, to provide timely notice to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
-21-
Board and to the Illinois state information depository, if any, of any failure of the
Village 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 1996 Bonds, 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 bonds; (7) modifications to
rights of bondholders; (8) bond calls; (9) defeasances; (10) release, substitution or

It is found and determined that the Village has agreed to the undertakings
contained in this Section in order to assist participating underwriters of the 1996
Bonds and brokers, dealers and municipal securities dealers in complying with
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The chief financial officer of the Village is
authorized and directed to do and perform, or cause to be done or performed, for or
on behalf of the Village, each and every thing necessary to accomplish the
undertakings of the Village contained in this Section for so long as Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5)
is applicable to the 1996 Bonds and the Village remains an "obligated person" under
the Rule with respect to the 1996 Bonds.
The undertakings contained in this Section may be amended by the Village upon
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 obligated person, or type of
business conducted, provided that (a) the undertaking, as amended, would have
-22-
complied with the requirements of Rule 15(c)2- 12(b)(5) at the time of the primary
offering, after taking into account any amendments or interpretations of the Rule, as
well as any change in circumstances and (b) in the opinion of nationally recognized
bond counsel selected by the Village, the amendment does not materially impair the
interests of the beneficial owners of the 1996 Bonds.
Section 17. Bond Registrar. The Village covenants that it shall at all times
retain a bond registrar with respect to the 1996 Bonds, that it will maintain at the
designated office of such bond registrar a place where 1996 Bonds may be presented
for payment and registration of transfer or exchange and that it shall require that the
bond registrar maintain proper registration books and perform the other duties and
obligations imposed upon the bond registrar by this ordinance in a manner consistent
with the standards, customs and practices of the municipal securities business.
The bond registrar shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations
imposed upon it by this ordinance by executing the certificate of authentication on
any 1996 Bond, and by such execution the bond registrar shall be deemed to have
certified to the Village that it has all requisite power to accept, and has accepted such
duties and obligations not only with respect to the 1996 Bond so authenticated but
with respect to all the 1996 Bonds. The bond registrar is the agent of the Village and
shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties except for its own
negligence or default. The bond registrar shall, however, be responsible for any
representation in its certificate of authentication on the 1996 Bonds.
The Village may remove the bond registrar at any time. In case at any time the
bond 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
-23-
the bond registrar, or of its property, shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall
take charge or control of the bond registrar or of its property or affairs, the Village
covenants and agrees that it will thereupon appoint a successor bond registrar. The
Village shall mail notice of any such appointment made by it to each registered owner
of 1996 Bonds within twenty days after such appointment. Any bond registrar
appointed under the provisions of this Section shall be a bank, trust company or
national banking association maintaining its principal corporate trust office in the State
of Illinois, the City of St. Louis, Missouri or the Borough of Manhattan, City and State
of New York.
Section 18. Book -Entry System. In order to provide for the initial issuance of
the 1996 Bonds in a form that provides for a system of book -entry only transfers, the
ownership of one fully registered 1996 Bond 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, as securities depository for the 1996
Bonds. The Village Administrator is authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the
Village such letters to, or agreements with, the securities depository as shall be
necessary to effectuate such book -entry system.
The Village may remove the securities depository at any time. In case at any
time the securities depository shall resign or shall be removed or shall become
incapable of acting, then the Village shall appoint a successor securities depository to
provide a system of book -entry only transfers for the 1996 Bonds, by written notice
to the predecessor securities depository directing it to notify its participants (those
persons for whom the securities depository holds securities) of the appointment of a
successor securities depository.
-24-
The Village may terminate the system of book -entry only transfers for the
bonds at any time, by written notice to the securities depository directing it to notify
its participants of the availability of bond certificates. In such event, the Village shall
issue and the bond registrar shall authenticate, register and deliver to the beneficial
owners of the 1996 Bonds, bond certificates in replacement of such beneficial
owners' beneficial interests in the 1996 Bonds, all as shown in the records maintained
by the securities depository.
Section 19. Defeasance and Payment of Bonds. (A) If the Village shall pay
or cause to be paid to the registered owners of the 1996 Bonds, the principal and
interest due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner stipulated
therein and in this ordinance, then the pledge of taxes, securities and funds hereby
pledged and the covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Village to the
registered owners and the beneficial owners of the 1996 Bonds shall be discharged
and satisfied.
(B) Any 1996 Bonds or interest installments appertaining thereto, whether
at or prior to the maturity or the redemption date of such 1996 Bonds, shall be
deemed to have been paid within the meaning of paragraph (A) of this Section if (1)
in case any such 1996 Bonds are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, there
shall have been taken all action necessary to call such 1996 Bonds for redemption and
notice of such redemption shall have been duly given or provision shall have been
made for the giving of such notice, and (2) there shall have been deposited in trust
with a bank, trust company or national banking association acting as fiduciary for
such purpose either (i) moneys in an amount which shall be sufficient, or (ii) "Federal
Obligations" as defined in paragraph (C) of this Section, the principal of and the
-25-
interest on which when due will provide moneys which, together with any moneys on
deposit with such fiduciary at the same time for such purpose, shall be sufficient, to
pay when due the principal of and interest due and to become due on said 1996
Bonds on and prior to the applicable redemption date or maturity date thereof.
(C) As used in this Section, the term "Federal Obligations" means (i) non -
callable, direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) non - callable and non -
prepayable, direct obligations of any agency of the United States of America, which
are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America as to full and timely
payment of principal and interest, (iii) non - callable, non - prepayable coupons or interest

of the Resolution Funding Corporation.

ordinance shall constitute a contract between the Village and the registered owners
of the 1996 Bonds. Any pledge made in this ordinance and the provisions, covenants
and agreements herein set forth to be performed by or on behalf of the Village shall
be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the owners of any and all of the
1996 Bonds. All of the 1996 Bonds, regardless of the time or times of their issuance,
shall be of equal rank without preference, priority or distinction of any of the 1996
Bonds over any other thereof except as expressly provided in or pursuant to this
ordinance. The Authorizing Ordinance and this ordinance shall constitute full authority
for the issuance of the 1996 Bonds and to the extent that the provisions of the
Authorizing Ordinance, as supplemented by this ordinance, conflict with the provisions
-26-
of any other ordinance or resolution of the Village, the provisions of the Authorizing
Ordinance as so supplemented, shall control. If any section, paragraph or provision
of this ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the
invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect
