In lieu of issuing a Certificate or Certificates for each maturity, a single certificate (or series of certificates) with a maturity of no later than the last maturity set forth above may be issued payable in annual installments corresponding to the above maturities, as provided in an Authenticating Order, and not otherwise. Each Certificate shall bear interest from the later of its dated date or the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid, calculated on the basis of a year of twelve 30 -day months.

(b) Redemption. With notice (no such notice being required for Term Certificates under (b)(ii) below) from the Municipality to the Certificate Registrar at least 45 days before the designated prepayment and redemption date (or lesser notice acceptable to the Certificate Registrar), the Certificates shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity from funds provided by the Municipality, at the times, in the manner, with the notice and with the effect set forth in this ordinance. The Certificates are subject to redemption as follows: (i) Optional Redemption. Certificates maturing on and after January 1 of the year provided in an Authenticating Order, shall be subject to optional redemption and prepayment, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Municipality, in any order of designated maturity, but in inverse order if none is designated, on any date, at a price of par, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption, as specified in an Authenticating Order. (ii) Sinking Fund Redemption. This paragraph (ii) shall apply only to the extent: (A) an Authenticating Order or (B) section (a) above or the applicable Certificate form in Exhibit A, shall specify any Term Certificates (the "Term Certificates "), and otherwise shall not apply. Certificates so specified as Term Certificates, if any, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in the principal amount on January 1 of the years so specified, but corresponding to the amounts specified above in Section 2(a), or otherwise as set forth in an Authenticating Order. At its option before the 45th day (or such lesser time acceptable to the Certificate Registrar) next preceding any mandatory sinking fund redemption date in connection with Term Certificates the Municipality by furnishing the Certificate Registrar and the Paying Agent an appropriate certificate of direction and authorization executed by the Village President or Village Treasurer may: (i) deliver to the Certificate Registrar for cancellation Term Certificates in any authorized aggregate principal amount desired; or (ii) furnish the Paying Agent funds for the purpose of purchasing any of such Term Certificates as arranged by the Municipality; or (iii) receive a credit (not previously given) with respect to the mandatory sinking fund redemption obligation for such Term Certificates which prior to such date have been redeemed and cancelled. Each such Certificate so delivered, previously purchased or redeemed shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof, and any excess shall be credited with regard to future mandatory sinking fund redemption obligations for such Certificates in chronological order, and the principal amount of Certificates to be so redeemed as provided shall be accordingly reduced. In the event Certificates being so redeemed are in a denomination greater than $5,000, a portion of such Certificates may be so redeemed, but such portion shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or any authorized integral multiple thereof. (iii) Procedure. The Municipality covenants that it will redeem Certificates pursuant to the redemption provisions applicable to such Certificates. Proper provision for redemption having been made, the Municipality covenants that the Certificates so selected for redemption shall be payable as at maturity. The Municipality shall, at least 45 days prior to an optional redemption date (unless a shorter time shall be satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar), notify the Certificate Registrar of any optional redemption date (which, if any, shall be specified in an Authenticating Order) and of the principal amount of Certificates to be redeemed (no such notice shall be required in the case of any mandatory sinking fund redemption of Term Certificates). In the event that less than all of the Certificates of a particular series or maturity are called for 3 redemption as aforesaid, as necessary, the particular Certificates or portions of Certificates to be redeemed shall be selected by lot not more than sixty (60) days or less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date by the Certificate Registrar by such method as the Certificate Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, that such method shall reasonably provide for the selection for redemption of Certificates or portions thereof so that any $5,000 Certificate or $5,000 portion of a Certificate or a maturity or due date shall be as likely to be called for redemption as any other such $5,000 Certificate or $5,000 portion. The Certificate Registrar shall promptly notify the Municipality in writing of the Certificates or portions of Certificates or a maturity or due date selected for redemption and, in the case of any Certificate selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Unless waived by the registered owner of Certificates to be redeemed, presentment for payment being conclusively such a waiver, notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Certificate Registrar on behalf of the Municipality by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to each registered owner of the Certificate or Certificates to be redeemed at the address shown on the Certificate Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by each such registered owner to the Certificate Registrar. All notices of redemption shall include at least the information as follows: (1) the identification of the particular Certificates to be redeemed; (2) the redemption date; (3) the redemption price; (4) if less than all of the Certificates of a particular maturity are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Certificates to be redeemed; (5) a statement that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Certificate or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after such date; and (6) the place where such Certificates are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the designated principal office of the Paying Agent. Prior to any redemption date, the Municipality shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Certificates or portions of Certificates which are to be redeemed on that date. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Certificates or portions of Certificates so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, together with accrued interest, and from and after such date (unless the Municipality shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Certificates or portions of Certificates shall cease to bear interest. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular registered owner of a Certificate shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to any other registered owner. Notice having been properly given, failure of a registered owner of a Certificate to receive such notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or the redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by a registered owner of a Certificate, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice shall be filed with`the Certificate Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Upon surrender of such Certificates for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Certificates shall be paid from available funds therefor by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. Interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for the partial redemption of any Certificate, there shall be prepared for the registered owner a new Certificate or Certificates of the same maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal. If any Certificate or portion of Certificate called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal, and premium, if any, shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Certificate or portion of Certificate so called for redemption. All Certificates which have been redeemed shall be marked cancelled by the Certificate Registrar and shall not be reissued. (c) Registration of Certificates. The Certificates shall be negotiable, subject to the provisions for registration of transfer, as applicable, and not otherwise contained herein: 4 (i) General.

Any fully registered Certificate or Certificates may be exchanged at the office of the Certificate Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Certificate or Certificates of the same series and maturity of other authorized denominations. The execution by the Municipality of any fully registered Certificate shall constitute full . and due authorization of such Certificate, and the Certificate Registrar shall thereby be authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Certificate. The Certificate Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Certificate during the period from the 15th day of the calendar month next preceding any interest payment date on such Certificate and ending on such interest payment date, nor to transfer or exchange any Certificate after notice calling such Certificate for prepayment has been mailed, nor during a period of 15 days next preceding mailing of a notice of prepayment and redemption of any Certificates. The person in whose name any Certificate shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Certificate shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or such registered owner's legal representative. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Certificate to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Municipality or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates exchanged in the case of the issuance of a Certificate or Certificates for the outstanding portion of a Certificate surrendered for redemption. The Village President or Village Treasurer may, in his or her discretion at any time, designate a bank with trust powers or trust company, duly authorized to do business as a registrar, paying agent, or both, to act in one or both such capacities hereunder, in the event the Village President or Village Treasurer shall determine it to be advisable. Notice shall be given to the registered owners of any such designation in the same manner, as near as may be practicable, as for a notice of redemption of Certificates, and as if the date of such successor taking up its duties were the redemption date. (ii) Book - Entry -Only Provisions. Unless otherwise provided in an Authenticating Order, the Certificates shall be issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Certificate for each of the maturities of the Certificates.

Without limiting the meaning of the foregoing, the Municipality and the Certificate Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the nominee, or any Depository Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Certificates, (b) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Certificate as shown in the Certificate Register, of any notice with respect to the Certificates, including any notice of redemption, or (c) the payment to any Depository Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Certificate as shown in the Certificate Register, of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Certificates.

At that time, the Municipality may determine that the Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a book -entry system, as may be acceptable to the Municipality, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the Municipality does not select such alternate book -entry system, then the Certificates may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of Certificates transferring or exchanging Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Certificate is registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Certificates and all notices with respect to such Certificates shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter. (d) Authenticating Order. Although the Certificates of each maturity or due date are authorized to mature and to bear interest at the rate or rates per annum, as set forth above, and have such other terms as herein provided, the Certificates are nevertheless hereby authorized to mature in other principal amounts (not exceeding the aggregate the principal amount set forth above) and to bear interest at such other rate or rates, be subject to redemption and have such other terms and provisions as either (i) the Village President shall certify in an Authenticating Order at . the time of delivery of the Certificates and payment therefor (with respect to which the term "Authenticating Order" shall mean, if at all, a certificate signed by the Village President, and attested by the Village Clerk, under the Municipality's seal, setting forth and specifying details of the Certificates, including but not limited to payment dates, other than as set forth above, denominations, interest rate or rates, interest and /or principal payment dates, aggregate principal amount (but not to exceed the principal amount set forth above), the principal and interest coming due in each applicable payment period, the issuance of Certificate instruments in installment form in lieu of serial form or in serial form in lieu of installment form, as the case may be, any nominal or nominee 6 party, optional and mandatory prepayment and redemption provisions, designation of a Paying Agent and /or Certificate Registrar and /or other fiscal agents, Certificate Purchasers or Underwriter, the issuer (the "Insurer ") of an insurance policy or other credit facility securing the Certificates (the "Policy), use of a tax escrow or intercept or other similar agreement in connection with any payment source (including general property tax receipts) for the Certificates (a "Tax Escrow Agreement ") with a tax escrow or intercept or other fiscal agent (a "Tax Escrow Agent "), capitalized interest, denominations, payment dates, installment form in lieu of serial form (and vice - versa), and investment restrictions, and full authority is hereby given to the Village President to certify and specify such terms, without any further action by the Corporate Authorities than this ordinance), or (ii) the Corporate Authorities in supplemental proceedings shall approve, in either case other than as specifically set forth in this ordinance.

Government securities shall be considered sufficient only if such investments are not redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the issuer thereof and mature and bear interest in such amounts and at such times as will assure sufficient cash to pay currently maturing interest and to pay principal and redemption premiums if any when due on the Certificates without rendering the interest on any Certificates taxable under the Code.
