(ii) Sinking Fund Redemption. Bonds specified as Term Bonds (the "Term Bonds"),
if any, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in the principal amount on the date in

Bonds the Issuer by furnishing the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent an appropriate
certificate of direction and authorization executed by the Village President or Village

Term Bonds which prior to such date have been redeemed and cancelled. Each such Bond 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 Bonds in such order or from such due dates as the Issuer
specifies (but in chronological order, if there is no specification) and the principal amount of
Bonds to be so redeemed as provided shall be accordingly reduced. In the event Bonds being so
redeemed are in a denomination greater than $5,000, a portion of such Bonds may be so
redeemed, but such portion shall be in the principal amount of$5,000 or any authorized integral
multiple thereof.
(iii)Procedure. In the event of the redemption of less than all the Bonds of like
maturity, the aggregate principal amount thereof to be redeemed shall be $5,000 or an integral
multiple thereof and the Bond Registrar shall assign to each Bond of such maturity a distinctive
number for each $5,000 principal amount of such Bond 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 Bonds to be redeemed. The Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were
assigned numbers so selected; provided that only so much of the principal amount of each Bond
shall be redeemed as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it and so selected.
-9-
The Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to
pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on the
redemption date, together with interest to such redemption date, prior to giving any notice of
redemption. With notice at least forty-five (45) days before the redemption date (or lesser notice
acceptable to the Bond Registrar, and with no such notice being required under(ii) above) to the
Bond Registrar by the Issuer, notice of the redemption of Bonds shall be given by first class mail
not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such
redemption to the registered owners of Bonds to be redeemed at their last addresses appearing on
such registration books. The Bonds or portions thereof specified in such notice shall become due
and payable at the applicable redemption price on the redemption date therein designated,
together with interest to the redemption date. If there shall be drawn for redemption less than all
of a Bond, the Issuer shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, upon
the surrender of such Bond, without charge to the registered owner thereof, for the unredeemed
balance of the Bond so surrendered, Bonds of like maturity and of the denomination of$5,000 or
any authorized integral multiple thereof.
All notices of redemption shall include at least the information as follows: (1)the
redemption date; (2)the redemption price; (3) if less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are
to be redeemed, the identification and, in the case of partial redemption of the Bonds, the
respective principal amounts of the Bonds to be redeemed; (4) a statement that on the redemption
date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof
called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from such date; and (5) the
place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place
of payment shall be the designated principal office of the Paying Agent.
Notice of redemption having been so given, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to
be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price
therein specified, and from and after such date such Bonds or portions of Bonds 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 Bond shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other registered owners. Notice having been properly given, failure of a
registered owner of a Bond 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 Bond, either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice shall be filed, if at all, with the
Bond 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 Bonds for redemption in accordance
with such notice, such Bonds shall be paid 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.
In addition to the foregoing notice set forth above, further notice shall be given by
the Bond Registrar on behalf of the Issuer as set out below, but no defect in such further notice
nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the
effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. Each further
notice of redemption given hereunder shall contain the information required above for an official
-10-
notice of redemption plus (a) the CUSIP number of all Bonds being redeemed; (b) the date of
issue of the Bonds as originally issued; (c) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being
redeemed; (d) the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (e) any other descriptive
information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed.
Each further notice of redemption shall be sent at least thirty (30) days before the
redemption date to registered securities depositories then holding any of the applicable series of
Bonds and to one or more national information services, chosen in the discretion of the Bond
Registrar, if at all, that disseminate notices of redemption of obligations such as the Bonds.
Upon the payment of the redemption price of Bonds being redeemed, each check
or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall identify the Bond or Bonds, or portion
thereof, being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.
If any Bond or portion of Bond 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 Bond or portion of such Bond so called
for redemption. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the
Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued.
Section 4. Execution and Authentication. Each Bond shall be executed in the
name of the Issuer by the manual or authorized facsimile signature of its Village President and
the corporate seal of the Issuer, or a facsimile thereof, shall be thereunto affixed, impressed or
otherwise reproduced or placed thereon and attested by the manual or authorized facsimile
signature of its Village Clerk. Temporary Bonds, preliminary to the availability of Bonds in
definitive form, shall be and are hereby authorized and approved.
In case any officer whose signature, or a facsimile of whose signature, shall
appear on any Bond shall cease to hold such office before the issuance of such Bond, such Bond
shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the person whose
signature, or a facsimile thereof, appears on such Bond had not ceased to hold such office. Any
Bond may be signed, sealed or attested on behalf of the Issuer by any person who, on the date of
such act, shall hold the proper office, notwithstanding that at the date of such Bond such person
may not hold such office. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any Bonds against the
Village President or any member of the President and Board of Trustees or any officer or
employee of the Issuer(past, present or future) who executes the'Bonds, or on any other basis.
Each Bond shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication executed manually by
the Bond Registrar. No Bond shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this ordinance or
shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose until such certificate of authentication shall have
been duly executed by the Bond Registrar. Such certificate of authentication shall have been
duly executed by the Bond Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication
upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and
delivered under this ordinance. The certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to
have been executed by the Bond Registrar if signed by an authorized officer of the Bond
-11-
Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication
on all of the Bonds issued hereunder.
Section 5. Registration of Bonds and Book-Entry. The Bonds shall be
negotiable, subject to the provisions for registration of transfer contained herein and related to
book-entry only registration.
(a) General. This subsection (a) is subject to the provisions of subsection (b)
concerning book-entry only provisions. The Issuer shall cause books (the "Bond Register") for
the registration and for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this ordinance to be kept at the
principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar, which is hereby constituted and appointed
the Bond Registrar of the Issuer. The Issuer is authorized to prepare, and the Bond Registrar
shall keep custody of, multiple Bond blanks executed by the Issuer for use in the issuance from
time to time of the Bonds and in the transfer and exchange of Bonds.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the principal corporate trust office of
the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar and duly executed by the registered owner or
such owner's attorney duly authorized in writing, the Issuer shall execute and the Bond Registrar
shall authenticate, date and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully
registered Bond or Bonds of the same series and maturity of authorized denominations, for a like
aggregate principal amount. Any fully registered Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at the office
of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Bond or Bonds of the same series
and maturity of other authorized denominations. The execution by the Issuer of any fully
registered Bond shall constitute full and due authorization of such Bond, and the Bond Registrar
shall thereby be authorized to authenticate, date and deliver such Bond.
The person in whose name any Bond 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 Bond 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 Bond to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the
Issuer or the Bond 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 Bonds
exchanged in the case of the issuance of a Bond or Bonds for the outstanding portion of a Bond
surrendered for redemption.
The Village President or Village Administrator 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 bond registrar, paying agent, or both, to act in one or both such capacities
hereunder, in the event the Village President or Village Administrator or Village Treasurer shall
determine it to be advisable. Notice shall be given to the registered owners of any such
-12-
designation in the same manner, as near as may be practicable, as for a notice of redemption of
Bonds, and as if the date of such successor taking up its duties were the redemption date.
(b) Book-Entry-Only Provisions. Unless otherwise set forth in a Bond Order,
the Bonds shall be issued in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond of each series for
each of the maturities of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond may
be registered in the Bond Register therefor in a street name (initially "Cede & Co.") of a
securities depository (the "Depository"), initially The Depository Trust Company, New York,
New York ("DTC"), or any successor thereto, as nominee of the Depository. The outstanding
Bonds from time to time may be registered in the Bond Register in a street name, as nominee of
the Depository. As required, the Village President or Village Administrator or Village Treasurer
each is authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer such letters to or agreements
with the Depository as shall be necessary to effectuate such book-entry system (any such letter or
agreement being referred to herein as the "Representation Letter"). Without limiting the
generality of the authority given to the Village President or Village Administrator or Village
Treasurer with respect to entering into such Representation Letter, it may contain provisions
relating to (a) payment procedures, (b) transfers of the Bonds or of beneficial interest therein, (c)
redemption notices and procedures unique to the Depository, (d) additional notices or
communications, and (e) amendment from time to time to conform with changing customs and
practices with respect to securities industry transfer and payment practices.
With respect to Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of a nominee
of the Depository, the Issuer and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to
any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which the Depository holds Bonds from
time to time as securities depository (each such broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution
being referred to herein as a "Depository Participant") or to any person on behalf of whom
such a Depository Participant holds an interest in the Bonds, i.e., an "indirect participant" or a
"beneficial owner". Without limiting the meaning of the foregoing, the Issuer and the Bond
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 Bonds, (b) the delivery to any Depository Participant or any other person, other
than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to
the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (c) the payment to any Depository Participant
or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of
any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds.
As long as the Bonds are held in a book-entry-only system, no person other than
the nominee of the Depository, or any successor thereto, as nominee for the Depository, shall
receive a Bond certificate with respect to any Bonds. Upon delivery by the Depository to the
Bond Registrar of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a
new nominee in place of the prior nominee, and subject to the provisions hereof with respect to
the payment of interest to the registered owners of Bonds as of the close of business on the
fifteenth (1 5th) day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next preceding the
applicable interest payment date, the reference herein to nominee in this ordinance shall refer to
such new nominee of the Depository.
-13-
In the event that (a) the Issuer determines that the Depository is incapable of
discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (b) the
agreement among the Issuer, the Bond Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Depository evidenced
by the Representation Letter shall be terminated for any reason or (c) the Issuer determines that it
is in the best interests of the beneficial owners of the Bonds that they be able to obtain
certificated Bonds, the Issuer shall notify the Depository and the Depository Participants of the
availability of Bond certificates, and the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in
the Bond Register in the name of a nominee of the Depository. At that time, the Issuer may
determine that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor
depository operating a book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the Issuer, or such
depository's agent or designee, and if the Issuer does not select such alternate book-entry system,
then the Bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of Bonds
transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Bond is
registered in the name of a nominee of the Depository, all payments with respect to principal of
and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given,
respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter.
(c) Limit. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to exchange or transfer any
Bond during the period from the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month next preceding any
interest payment date to such interest payment date or during the period of fifteen (15) days next
preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption which could designate all or a part of any Bonds
for redemption, or after such mailing.
Section 6. Bond Registrar and Paving Agent. With respect to this ordinance
and the Bonds the Bond Registrar shall be Amalgamated Bank of Chicago, through its
designated trust office in Chicago, Illinois and the Paying Agent shall be Amalgamated Bank of
Chicago, through its designated corporate trust office in Chicago, Illinois. The Issuer covenants
that it shall at all times retain a Bond Registrar and Paying Agent with respect to the Bonds and
shall cause to be maintained at the office of such Bond Registrar a place where Bonds may be
presented for registration of transfer or exchange, that it will maintain at the designated office of
the Paying Agent a place where Bonds may be presented for payment, that it shall require that
the Bond Registrar maintain proper registration books and that it shall require the Bond Registrar
and Paying Agent to perform the other duties and obligations imposed upon each of them by this
ordinance in a manner consistent with the standards, customs and practices concerning municipal
securities. The Issuer may enter into appropriate agreements with any Bond Registrar and any
Paying Agent in connection with the foregoing, including as follows:
(a) to act as Bond Registrar, authenticating agent, Paying Agent and transfer
agent as provided herein;
(b) to maintain a list of the registered owners of the Bonds as set forth herein
and to furnish such list to the Issuer upon request, but otherwise to keep such list
confidential;
-14-
(c) to cancel and/or destroy Bonds which have been paid at maturity or
submitted for exchange or transfer;
(d) to give notices of redemption of Bonds to be redeemed;
(e) to furnish the Issuer at least annually a certificate with respect to Bonds
cancelled and/or destroyed; and
(f) to furnish the Issuer at least annually an audit confirmation of Bonds paid,
Bonds outstanding and payments made with respect to interest on the Bonds.
In any event,the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall comply with (a) - (f)above.
The Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall signify their acceptances of the duties
and obligations imposed upon them by this ordinance. The Bond Registrar by executing the
certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have certified to the Issuer that it
has all requisite power to accept, and has accepted, such duties and obligations, not only with
respect to the Bond so authenticated but with respect to all of the Bonds. The Bond Registrar
and Paying Agent are the agents of the Issuer for such purposes and shall not be liable in
connection with the performance of their respective duties except for their own negligence or
default. The Bond Registrar shall, however, be responsible for any representation in its
certificate of authentication on the Bonds.
The Issuer may remove the Bond Registrar or Paying Agent at any time. In case
at any time the Bond Registrar or Paying Agent shall resign (such resignation to not be effective
until a successor has accepted such role) 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 Bond Registrar or Paying Agent, or of its property, shall be appointed, or if any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Bond Registrar or Paying Agent or of their respective
properties or affairs, the Issuer covenants and agrees that it will thereupon appoint a successor
Bond Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be. The Issuer shall mail or cause to be mailed
notice of any such appointment made by it to each registered owner of Bonds within twenty (20)
days after such appointment. Any Bond Registrar or any Paying Agent appointed under the
provisions of this Section 7 shall be a bank, trust company or other qualified professional with
respect to such matters, authorized to exercise such functions in the State of Illinois.
Section 7. Alternate Bonds; General Obligations. The Bonds are and
constitute Alternate Bonds under the Local Government Debt Reform Act, anticipated to be
payable from Pledged Revenues applicable to each series of Bonds and from applicable Pledged
Taxes. Under and pursuant to Section 15 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act, the full
faith and credit of the Issuer are hereby irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds; the Bonds shall be direct and general
obligations of the Issuer; and the Issuer shall be obligated to levy ad valorem taxes upon all the
taxable property within the Issuer's corporate limits, for the payment of the Bonds and the
interest thereon, without limitation as to rate or amount (such ad valorem taxes being the
"Pledged Taxes" related to each series of Bonds).
-15-
Pledged Revenues are hereby determined by the Corporate Authorities to be
sufficient to provide for or pay in each year to final maturity of each series of Bonds all of the
following: (1) the debt service on all Outstanding revenue bonds payable from Pledged
Revenues, (2) all amounts required to meet any fund or account requirements with respect to
such Outstanding revenue bonds, (3) other contractual or tort liability obligations, if any, payable
from such Pledged Revenues, and (4) in each year, an amount not less than 1.25 times debt
service of all (i) Alternate Bonds payable from such Pledged Revenues previously issued and
outstanding, and (ii) Alternate Bonds payable from such Pledged Revenues proposed to be
issued, including the Bonds. Applicable Pledged Revenues shall be and are hereby determined
by the Corporate Authorities to provide in each year an amount not less than 1.25 times debt
service (as defined in Section 2 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act) of Alternate Bonds
payable from such enterprise sources previously issued and outstanding, of which there are none,
and Alternate Bonds proposed to be issued. The determination of the sufficiency of the Pledged
Revenues is supported by reference to the most recent audit of the Issuer, which is for a Fiscal
Year ending not earlier than 18 months previous to the time of issuance of the Bonds or
otherwise as demonstrated in an applicable report. If for any reason such qualification is later
not shown by such audit in connection with Series 2014B (none is required with respect to Series
2014A), a "report" under Section 15 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act is authorized.
Such conditions enumerated need not be met for that amount of debt service (as defined in
Section 2 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act) provided for by the setting aside of
proceeds of bonds or other moneys at the time of the delivery of such bonds. The Pledged
Revenues are hereby determined by the Corporate Authorities to provide in each year all
amounts required to meet any fund or account requirements with respect to this ordinance, any
contractual or tort liability obligations, if any, payable from the applicable Pledged Revenues,
and an amount not less than 1.25 times debt service (as defined in Section 2 of the Local
Government Debt Reform Act) of all of the Outstanding Bonds, payable from such Pledged
Revenues.
Section 8. Form of Bonds. Unless Bonds in typewritten form are accepted or in
any contract for the sale of the Bonds the underwriter or underwriters of the Bonds shall agree to
accept typewritten or other temporary Bonds preliminary to the availability of, or in lieu of,
Bonds in printed form, the Bonds shall be prepared in compliance with the National Standard
Specifications for Fully Registered Municipal Securities prepared by the American National
Standards Institute, and in any event shall be in substantially the following form [provided,
however, that reordering of paragraphs and appropriate insertions, deletions and modifications in
the form of the Bonds may be made, including as to the custom of printing Bonds in part on the
front and back of certificates, and as applicable to a particular series, in appropriate forms
prepared by Bond Counsel, not inconsistent herewith]:

Section 9. Levy and Extension of Taxes. For the purpose of providing the
money required to pay and secure the interest on the Bonds when and as the same falls due and
to pay and discharge the principal thereof as the same shall mature, there shall be levied upon all
the taxable property within the Issuer's corporate limits in each year while any of the Bonds shall
be Outstanding, a direct annual tax sufficient for that purpose for each series of Bonds and there
is hereby authorized to be levied upon all of the taxable property within the Issuer's corporate
limits, in addition to all other taxes, the direct annual taxes, in the amounts for each year
(constituting Pledged Taxes), commencing not before levy year 2014 and ending not later than
levy/tax year 2025, as shall be specified in applicable Bond Orders.
To the extent lawful, interest or principal coming due at any time when there shall
be insufficient funds on hand to pay the same shall be paid promptly when due from current
funds on hand in advance of the collection of the taxes herein levied; and when such Pledged
Taxes shall have been collected, reimbursement shall be made to such fund or funds from which
such advance was made in the amounts thus advanced.
As soon as this ordinance becomes effective, a copy thereof, certified by the
Village Clerk of the Issuer, which certificate shall recite that this ordinance has been duly
adopted, shall be filed with the County Clerks of Cook, DuPage and Will Counties, Illinois, who
are hereby directed to ascertain the applicable rates percent required to produce the aggregate
taxes authorized to be levied in the years as authorized above, and specified in applicable Bond
Orders, and to extend the same for collection on the tax books in connection with other taxes
levied in each of such years, in and by the Issuer for general corporate purposes of the Issuer, and
in each of such years such annual taxes shall be levied and collected in like manner as taxes for
general corporate purposes for each of such years are levied and collected and, when collected,
such taxes shall be used solely for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the
applicable Bonds herein authorized as the same become due and payable.
The Issuer covenants and agrees with the registered owners of each series of
Bonds that so long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding, the Issuer will not cause the
abatement of the foregoing taxes and otherwise will take no action or fail to take any action
which in any way would adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to levy and collect the
foregoing Pledged Taxes unless and to the extent there then shall be moneys irrevocably and
timely on deposit therefor in the Pledged Subaccount or of the applicable Debt Service Accounts
established under Section 11. The Issuer and its officers will comply with all present and future
applicable laws in order to assure that the foregoing Pledged Taxes will be levied, extended and
collected as provided herein and deposited in the applicable Debt Service Accounts established
in Section 11 below to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Whenever the conditions
for abatement above in this paragraph have been satisfied, the Corporate Authorities shall duly
direct the abatement of the applicable Pledged Taxes for the year with respect to which such
Pledged Taxes have been levied, to the extent so satisfied, and appropriate certification of such
abatement shall be timely filed with the County Clerks in connection with such abatement. If for
any reason there is abatement of such levy of taxes and the failure thereafter to pay debt service
in respect of such abatement, the additional amount, together with additional interest accruing,
shall be added to the tax levy in the year of, or the next year following, such failure.

purchase price for applicable Bonds for funding each applicable Refunding Account,
underwriting discounts, Insurer's Policy or Policies and for other costs of issuance directly paid
by the Underwriter for the Bonds.
Each Official Statement in connection with Bonds shall be and is hereby

Underwriter in the offering and sale of Bonds. Each Preliminary Official Statement is hereby
authorized to be supplemented and completed to constitute a final Official Statement under Rule
15c2-12. The Issuer is authorized to cooperate with the Underwriter in connection with
compliance by the Underwriter with Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission

directed to do and perform, or cause to be done or performed for or on behalf of the Issuer, each
and every thing necessary for the issuance of the Bonds, including the proper execution, delivery

Section 11. Revenue Fund. Upon the issuance of any of the Bonds, the Issuer
shall continue to be operated as a municipality on a Fiscal Year basis. All of the Pledged
Revenues when received by the Village Treasurer or other financial officer of the Issuer
receiving Pledged Revenues, subject to any prior lien or pledge, shall be set aside as and when
received and shall be deposited in a separate fund and in an account in a bank to be designated or
continued, as the case may be, by the Corporate Authorities, which fund is hereby created and
established or, as applicable, continued, as the Issuer's "Revenue Fund" (the "Fund"), which
shall constitute a trust fund for the sole purpose of carrying out the covenants, terms, and
-23-
conditions of this ordinance, including, without limitation, the establishment therein of the
"Bond and Interest Account" (within which there shall be a Junior Debt Service Account (and
therein a separate subaccount identified for each series of Bonds) with respect to Junior Bonds
(i.e., the Bonds) and may be a Senior Debt Service Account with respect to Senior Bonds), the
"Depreciation Account" and the "Surplus Account".
There shall be credited and paid into the Revenue Fund, on or before the business
day next preceding the first day of each month, by the Village Treasurer or other appropriate
financial officer of the Issuer, without any further official action or direction other than this
ordinance, in the order in which such Accounts are hereinafter mentioned, subject to the
requirements of any account having a prior claim, all moneys in the Fund in accordance with the
following provisions (provided that receipts of Pledged Taxes for debt service shall be credited
or deposited directly into a separate subaccount under(a) or(b) below, as applicable):
(a) Senior Debt Service Account: After any initial deposit required by Section
12, there shall be deposited and credited to the Senior Debt Service Account and held, in cash
and investments, a fractional amount (not less than 1/6) of the interest becoming due on the next
succeeding interest payment date on all Outstanding Senior Bonds and also a fractional amount
(not less than 1/12) of the principal becoming due (or subject to mandatory redemption) on the
next succeeding principal maturity date of all of the Outstanding Senior Bonds until there shall
have been accumulated and held in cash and investments in such Account on or before the month
preceding such interest payment date or principal maturity date, or both, an amount sufficient to
pay such principal or interest, or both.
In computing the fractional amount to be set aside each month in such Senior
Debt Service Account, the fraction shall be so computed that a sufficient amount will be set aside
in such Senior Debt Service Account and will be available for the prompt payment of such
principal of and interest on all Outstanding Senior Bonds and shall be not less than one-sixth
(1/6) of the interest becoming due on the next succeeding interest payment date and not less than
one-twelfth (1/12) of the principal becoming due (or subject to mandatory redemption) on the
next succeeding principal payment date on all Outstanding Senior Bonds until there is sufficient
money in such Senior Debt Service Account to pay such principal or interest, or both.
Credits into such Senior Debt Service Account may be suspended in any Bond
Year at such time as there shall be a sufficient sum held in cash and investments in such Account
to meet principal and interest requirements in such Account for the balance of such Bond Year,
but such credits shall again be resumed at the beginning of the next Bond Year. All moneys in
such Senior Debt Service Account shall be used only for the purpose of paying interest and
principal and applicable premium on Outstanding Senior Bonds.
(b) Junior Debt Service Account: After any initial deposit required by Section
12, there shall be deposited and credited to the Junior Debt Service Account and held, in cash
and investments, a fractional amount (not less than 1/6) of the interest becoming due on the next
succeeding interest payment date on all Outstanding Junior Bonds and also a fractional amount
(not less than 1/12) of the principal becoming due (or subject to mandatory redemption) on the
next succeeding principal maturity date of all of the Outstanding Junior Bonds until there shall
-24-
have been accumulated and held in cash and investments in such Account on or before the month
preceding such interest payment date or principal maturity date, or both, an amount sufficient to
pay such principal or interest, or both.
In computing the fractional amount to be set aside each month in such Junior Debt
Service Account, the fraction shall be so computed that a sufficient amount will be set aside in
such Junior Debt Service Account and will be available for the prompt payment of such principal
of and interest on all Outstanding Junior Bonds and shall be not less than one-sixth (1/6) of the
interest becoming due on the next succeeding interest payment date and not less than one-twelfth
(1/12) of the principal becoming due (or subject to mandatory redemption) on the next
succeeding principal payment date on all Outstanding Junior Bonds until there is sufficient
money in such Junior Debt Service Account to pay such principal or interest, or both.
Credits into such Junior Debt Service Account may be suspended in any Bond
Year at such time as there shall be a sufficient sum held in cash and investments in such Account
to meet principal and interest requirements in such Account for the balance of such Bond Year,
but such credits shall again be resumed at the beginning of the next Bond Year. All moneys in
such Junior Debt Service Account shall be used only for the purpose of paying interest and
principal and applicable premium on Outstanding Junior Bonds.
(c) Depreciation Account: There shall next be paid into the Depreciation
Account, after the required payments have been made into the accounts above referred to, the
sums from time to time as the Corporate Authorities direct, and thereafter no additional
payments shall be made into such Account except that when any money is paid out of such
Account, monthly payments into such Account shall be made in the amounts from time to time
as the Corporate Authorities direct.
The moneys in the Depreciation Account shall be used to pay the cost of such
replacements and repairs to the Project as may be necessary from time to time for the continued
effective and efficient operation of the Project. Each expenditure to be made from such Account
to pay the cost of necessary replacement and repairs to the Project, as above provided for, shall
be made only after the Corporate Authorities of the Issuer have certified that such expenditure is
necessary to the continued effective and efficient operation of the Project. If necessary, the
moneys in such Account may be applied to prevent or remedy a default in the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Bonds authorized hereunder. When any amount is withdrawn from
such Account and applied as provided in this paragraph (b), the amount so applied shall be added
to the amount to be thereafter paid into such Account until full reimbursement to such Account
has been made.
This ordinance does not specify any required Depreciation Account funding.
(d) Surplus Account: All moneys remaining in the Fund, after crediting the
required amounts to the respective Accounts above, and after making up any deficiency in the
Accounts above, shall be credited to the Surplus Account and then, such surplus shall be used, if
at all, for one or more of the following purposes, without any priority among them:
-25-
(1) For any authorized general or specific corporate purpose for which, as
applicable, General Sales Taxes and/or revenue Sharing Receipts and/or Incremental
Taxes may be lawfully expended; or
(2) For the purpose of calling and redeeming Outstanding bonds payable from
applicable Pledged Revenues; or
(3) For the purpose of paying principal and interest and applicable premium on
any subordinate bonds or obligations for which, as applicable, General Sales Taxes
and/or Revenue Sharing Receipts and/or Incremental Taxes may be lawfully expended;
or
(4) For any other lawful purpose for which General Sales Taxes and/or Revenue
Sharing Receipts and/or Incremental Taxes may be lawfully expended, including the
purchase of outstanding bonds at a price of not to exceed par plus any premium and
accrued interest.
(e) Investments: Money to the credit of any Debt Service Account may be
invested from time to time by the Issuer's Treasurer in (i) interest-bearing bonds, notes, or other
direct full faith and credit obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations
unconditionally guaranteed as to both principal and interest by the United States of America, or
(iii) certificates of deposit or time deposits of any bank or savings and loan association, as
defined by Illinois laws, provided such bank or savings and loan association is insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or a successor corporation to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation and provided further that the principal of such deposits are secured by a
pledge of obligations as described in clauses (d) (i)and (d)(ii) above in the full principal amount
of such deposits, or otherwise collateralized in such amount and in such manner as may be
required by law. Such investments may be sold from time to time by the Village Treasurer as
funds may be needed for the purpose for which such Accounts have been created. Other
investments shall be in Qualified Investments in accordance with applicable law.
All interest on any funds so invested shall be credited to the applicable Account of
the Fund and is hereby deemed and allocated as expended with the next expenditure or
expenditures of money from the applicable Account of the Fund.
Moneys in any of such accounts shall be invested by the Issuer's Village
Treasurer, if necessary, in investments restricted as to yield, which investments may be in U.S.
Treasury Securities - State and Local Government Series, if available, and to such end the
Issuer's Treasurer shall refer to any investment restrictions covenanted by the Issuer or any
officer thereof as part of the transcript of proceedings for the issuance of the Bonds, and to
appropriate opinions of counsel.
(f) Bona Fide Debt Service Fund: Moneys preliminary to deposit in subsection
(a) or (b) above and used to abate taxes under Section 9 above, which if deposited into the
applicable Debt Service Account would disqualify the Debt Service Account for applicable
Bonds as a "bond tide debt service fund" shall be held in a separate subaccount for each tax-
-26-
exempt series of Bonds (the "Pledged Subaccount") of the applicable Debt Service Account
and the investment yield thereon yield restricted and subject to yield reduction payments.
Section 12. Bond Proceeds Account. Except for accrued interest received on
the sale of the Bonds, and an amount of Bond proceeds or other Issuer funds sufficient to pay
initial interest on applicable Bonds as provided in applicable Bond Orders, which shall be
deposited upon issuance of the Bonds into an applicable Debt Service Account, and proceeds
applied by the Underwriter to issuance costs, which is hereby authorized and for which the
Underwriter shall receive a credit against the sale price of the Bonds, all remaining proceeds
derived from the sale of the Bonds (exclusive of accrued interest) shall be deposited in or
credited to the "Bond Proceeds Account" (within which there shall be separate subaccounts for
proceeds of Series 2014A and Series 2014B Bonds), which is hereby established as a special
account of the Issuer. Moneys in the Bond Proceeds Account shall be used for the purposes
specified in Section 3 of this ordinance (that is, the costs of Refundings) and for the payment of
costs of issuance of the Bonds, but may hereafter be reallocated and used for other lawful
purposes in accordance with applicable law. Before any such reallocation shall be made, there
shall be filed with the Village Clerk of the Issuer an opinion of Evans, Froehlich, Beth &
Chamley, Champaign, Illinois, or other nationally recognized Bond counsel ("Bond Counsel")
to the effect that such reallocation is authorized and will not adversely affect the tax-exempt
status of the Bonds under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Moneys in the Bond Proceeds Account shall be withdrawn from time to time as needed for the
payment of costs and expenses incurred by the Issuer in connection with the Refundings and for
paying the fees and expenses incidental thereto. Moneys shall be withdrawn from any depositary
in connection with such funds from time to time by the Village Treasurer or other appropriate
financial officer of the Issuer only upon submission to such officer of the following (which shall
not apply to funding Refunding Accounts or issuance costs for Bonds):
A duplicate copy of the order signed by the Village President or Village
Administrator, or such other officer(s) as may from time to time be by law
authorized to sign and countersign orders of the Issuer, stating specifically the
purpose for which the order is issued and indicating that the payment for which
the order is issued has been approved by the Corporate Authorities.
Within sixty(60) days after completion of any applicable project (generally anticipated only with
respect to minor excess proceeds), the Village President or Village Administrator, shall certify to
the Corporate Authorities the fact that the applicable project has been completed, and after all
costs have been paid, the Village President or Village Administrator shall execute a completion
certificate and file it with the Village Treasurer and in the records of the Issuer certifying that the
applicable project has been completed and that all costs have been paid; and, if at that time any
funds remain in the Bond Proceeds Account, the same shall be applied for other authorized
improvements to the applicable project or such officer shall credit such funds to the applilcable
Debt Service Account, as the Corporate Authorities direct.
Section 13. Issuance of Additional Bonds. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Issuer reserves the right to issue:
-27-
(a) Parity Bonds without limit provided that Pledged Revenues as applicable
to a particular series of Bonds as determined as hereinbelow set out shall be sufficient to
provide for or pay all of the following: (i) debt service on all Outstanding bonds payable
from such Pledged Revenues computed immediately after the issuance of any proposed
Parity Bonds, (ii) all amounts required to meet any fund or account requirements with
respect to such Outstanding bonds, (iii) other contractual or tort liability obligations then
due and payable, if any, and (iv) an additional amount not less than 0.25 times debt
service (as provided in Section 15 of the Local Debt Reform Act) on such of the
Alternate Bonds as shall remain Outstanding bonds after the issuance of the proposed
Parity Bonds. Such sufficiency shall be calculated for each year to the final maturity of
such Alternate Bonds which shall remain Outstanding after the issuance of the proposed
Parity Bonds. The determination of the sufficiency of the applicable Pledged Revenues
shall be supported by reference to the most recent audit of the Issuer, which audit shall be
for a Fiscal Year ending not earlier than eighteen (18) months previous to the time of
issuance of the proposed Parity Bonds.
If such audit shows the particular Pledged Revenues to be insufficient,
then the determination of sufficiency may be made the following way:
The determination of sufficiency of the Pledged Revenues may be
supported by the report of an independent accountant or feasibility analyst, the
latter having a national reputation for expertise in such matters, and with no other
involvement in an applicable Prior Project or new project, demonstrating the
sufficiency of the Pledged Revenues and explaining by what means they will be
greater than as shown in the audit.
The reference to and acceptance of an audit, an adjusted statement of the
Pledged Revenues, or a report, as the case may be, and the determination of the
Corporate Authorities of the sufficiency of the Pledged Revenues shall be
conclusive evidence that the conditions of this Section 13(a) have been met and
that the Parity Bonds are properly issued hereunder; and no right to challenge
such determination is granted to the registered owners of the Bonds.
(b) Bonds or other obligations payable from Pledged Revenues subordinate to
the lien of applicable Senior Bonds or Junior Bonds which remain Outstanding after the
issuance of such bonds or other obligations.
Section 14. Arbitrage Rebate. The Issuer shall comply with the provisions of
Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to the rebate of
certain investment earnings (and yield reduction payments) at periodic intervals to the United
States of America to the extent that there shall have been filed with the Village Clerk of the
Issuer an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such compliance is necessary to preserve the
exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Series 2014A
Bonds under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. There is hereby
created a separate and special account within the Fund known as the "Rebate Account" (within
which there shall be separate subaccount for the Series 2014A Bonds), into which there shall be
-28-
deposited as necessary investment earnings to the extent required so as to maintain the tax-
exempt status of the interest on the Bonds under Section 148(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. All rebates, special impositions, yield reduction payments or other payments
or taxes for such purpose payable to the United States of America (Internal Revenue Service)
shall be payable from applicable excess earnings or other sources which are to be deposited into
the Rebate Account.
Yield Reduction Payments in connection with the Pledged Subaccount under
Section 11 above for the Series 2014A shall be determined and paid, as the case may be, in a
manner similar to arbitrage rebate under this Section 14.
Section 15. Investment Regulations. All investments shall be in Qualified
Investments, unless otherwise expressly herein provided. No investment shall be made of any
moneys in each applicable Debt Service Account or the Bond Proceeds Account, with respect to
the Series 2014A Bonds, except in accordance with the tax covenants and other covenants pants set
forth in Section 16 of this ordinance. All income derived from such investments in respect of
moneys or securities in any fund or account shall be credited in each case to the fund or account
in which such moneys or securities are held.
Any moneys in any fund or account that are subject to investment yield
restrictions may be invested in United States Treasury Securities, State and Local Government
Series, pursuant to the regulations of the United States Treasury Department, Bureau of Public
Debt. The Issuer's Village Treasurer and agents designated by such officer are hereby
authorized to submit on behalf of the Issuer subscriptions for such United States Treasury
Securities and to request redemption of such United States Treasury Securities.
Section 16. Non-Arbitrage and Tax-Exemption. One purpose of this Section
16 is to set forth various facts regarding the Series 2014A Bonds (and "Bonds" in this Section
16 means just the Series 2014A Bonds, unless the context of use clearly indicates both series are
addressed) and to establish the expectations of the Corporate Authorities and the Issuer as to
future events regarding the Bonds and the use of Bond proceeds. The certifications and
representations made herein and at the time of the issuance of the Bonds are intended, and may
be relied upon, as certifications and expectations described in Section 1.148-0 et seq. of the U.S.
Treasury Regulations dealing with arbitrage and rebate (the "Regulations"). The covenants and
agreements contained herein and at the time of the issuance of the Bonds are made for the benefit
of the registered owners from time to time of the Bonds. The Corporate Authorities and the
Issuer agree, certify, covenant and represent as follows:
(a) The Bonds of each series are being issued to refinance costs of the related
Prior Projects and related costs and expenses, and all of the amounts received upon the
sale of the Prior Bonds, plus all investment earnings thereon (the "Proceeds"), were
needed for the purpose for which the related Prior Bonds were issued. There are no
unspent Proceeds of either of the series of Prior Bonds. Bond Proceeds are to be
immediately applied to the Refundings of Prior Bonds.
-29-
(b) The Issuer entered into, or within six months from the date of issue of
2005 Prior Bonds entered into, binding contracts or commitments obligating it to spend at
least 5%of the proceeds of such 2005 Bonds for the 2005 Project. The work of acquiring
the 2005 Project timely commenced and proceeded with due diligence to completion
within 2 years of issuance of the 2005 Bonds, at which time all of the Proceeds for the
2005 Project were spent. There are no unspent 2005 Bond Proceeds.
(c) The Issuer has on hand no funds which could legally and practically be
used for the Refundings which are not pledged, budgeted, earmarked or otherwise
necessary to be used for other purposes. Accordingly, no portion of the Proceeds of the
Series 2014A Bonds will be used (i) directly or indirectly to replace funds of the Issuer or
any agency, department or division thereof that could be used for the 2005 Bond
Refunding, or (ii) to replace any proceeds of any prior issuance of obligations by the
Issuer. No portion of Series 2014A Bonds is being issued solely for the purpose of
investing the Proceeds at a Yield higher than the Yield on the Bonds. For purposes of
this Section, "Yield" means that yield (that is, the discount rate) which when used in
computing the present worth of all payments of principal and interest to be paid on an
obligation (using semi-annual compounding on the basis of a 360-day year) produces an
amount equal to the purchase price of the applicable series of the Bonds, including
accrued interest, and the purchase price of 2014A Bonds is equal to the first offering
price at which more than 10% of the principal amount of each maturity of 2014A Bonds
is sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations
acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers).
(d) All principal proceeds of each series the Bonds, net of amounts authorized
under Section 12, will be deposited in an applicable and identifiable Refunding Account
and used to pay costs of the Refundings and costs of issuance of Bonds, and any accrued
interest and premium received on the delivery of the Bonds will be deposited in an
applicable and identifiable subaccount of the applicable Debt Service Account and used
to pay the first interest due on the Bonds. Earnings on the investment of moneys in any
fund or account or subaccount will be credited to that fund or account. Other project
costs, and issuance costs of applicable Bonds, will be paid directly from other proceeds or
from the applicable Bond Proceeds Account, and no other moneys are expected to be
deposited therein. Interest on and principal of the Bonds will be paid from the applicable
Debt Service Account. Except as provided in any applicable Refunding Agreement, no
Proceeds will be used more than thirty (30) days after the date of issue of the Series
2014A Bonds for the purpose of paying any principal or interest on any other issue of
bonds, notes, certificates or warrants or on any installment contract or other obligation of
the Issuer or for the purpose of replacing any funds of the Issuer used for such purpose.
Series 2014B Bond proceeds will be applied to refund 2005 Bonds.
(e) Each applicable Debt Service Account (except the Pledged Subaccount for
Series 2014A) is established to achieve a proper matching of revenues and earnings with
debt service in each year. Other than any amounts held to pay principal of matured
Bonds that have not been presented for payment, it is expected that any moneys deposited
in the applicable Debt Service Account (other than the Pledged Subaccount for Series
-30-
2014A) will be spent within the 12-month period beginning on the date of deposit
therein. Any earnings from the investment of amounts in the Junior Debt Service
Account (other than the Pledged Subaccount for Series 2014A) will be spent within a
one-year period beginning on the date of receipt of such investment earnings. Other than
any amounts held to pay principal of matured Bonds that have not been presented for
payment, it is expected that the Junior Debt Service Account (other than the Pledged
Subaccount for Series 2014A) will be depleted at least once a year, except for a
reasonable carryover amount not to exceed the greater of(i) one-year's earnings on the
investment of moneys in the applicable Debt Service Account (except the Pledged
Subaccount for Series 2014A), or (ii) in the aggregate one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual
debt service on applicable Bonds.
(f) Other than the applicable Debt Service Account, no funds or accounts,
including the Depreciation Account, have been or are expected to be established, and no
moneys or property have been or are expected to be pledged (no matter where held or the
source thereof) which will be available to pay, directly or indirectly, Bonds or restricted
so as to give reasonable assurance of their availability for such purposes. No property of
any kind is pledged to secure, or is available to pay, obligations of the Issuer to any credit
enhancer or liquidity provider.
(g) (i) All amounts on deposit in an applicable Bond Proceeds Account or
Debt Service Account and all Proceeds, no matter in what funds or accounts deposited
("Gross Proceeds"), to the extent not exempted in (ii) below, and all amounts in any
fund or account pledged directly or indirectly to the payment of each series of the Bonds
which will be available to pay, directly or indirectly, the Bonds or restricted so as to give
reasonable assurance of their availability for such purpose contrary to the expectations set
forth in (f) above, shall be invested at market prices and at a Yield not in excess of the
Yield on the Bonds plus, after the 3-year temporary period for any amounts for any new
project improvements or work, 1/8 of 1%.
(ii) The following may be invested without Yield restriction:
(A) amounts invested in obligations described in Section 103(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (but not specified
private activity bonds as defined in Section 57(a)(5)(C) of the Code), the
interest on which is not includable in the gross income of any registered
owner thereof for federal income tax purposes ("Tax-Exempt
Obligations");
(B) amounts deposited in a Debt Service Account that are
reasonably expected to be expended within thirteen (13) months from the
deposit date and have not been on deposit therein for more than thirteen
(13)months;
(C) amounts, if any, in a Bond Proceeds Account to be applied
to any new project prior to the earlier of completion (or abandonment) of
-31-
such improvements or three (3) years from the date of issue of such
Bonds;
(D) an amount not to exceed the lesser of$100,000 or 5% of
Bond proceeds;
(E) all amounts for the first thirty (30) days after they become
Gross Proceeds (e.g., date of deposit in any fund or account securing the
Bonds); and
(F) all amounts derived from the investment of the Proceeds
for a period of one (1) year from the date received.
(h) Subject to (q) below, once moneys are subject to the Yield limits of(g)(i)
above, such moneys remain Yield restricted until they cease to be Gross Proceeds.
(i) As set forth in Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended, the Issuer is not excepted from the required rebate of arbitrage profits on the
Bonds, and although the Issuer is a governmental unit with general taxing powers, none
of the Bonds is a "private activity bond" as defined in Section 141(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all the net proceeds of the Bonds are to be used
for the local government activities of the Issuer, the aggregate face amount of all tax-
exempt obligations (and excluding "private activity bonds" as defined in Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) issued by the Issuer and all subordinate entities
thereof(of which there are none) during the applicable calendar year of issuance of the
Bonds, is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000, but if exceeded the Issuer will
comply with Section 148(0(2) of the Code. As provided in Section 14 the Pledged
Subaccount for the Series 2014A Bonds is subject to yield restriction and yield reduction
payments.
(j) None of the Proceeds of Series 2014A will be used, directly or indirectly,
to replace funds which were used in any business carried on by any person other than a
state or local governmental unit.
(k) The payment of the principal of or the interest on the Bonds will not be,
directly or indirectly (A) secured by any interest in (i) property used or to be used for a
private business use by any person other than a state or local governmental unit, or (ii)
payments in respect of such property, or(B) derived from payments (whether or not by or
to the Issuer), in respect of property, or borrowed money, used or to be used for a private
business use by any person other than a state or local governmental unit.
(I) None of the Series 2014A Proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, to
make or finance loans to persons other than a state or local governmental unit.
(m) No user of the 2012A Project, other than a state or local government unit,
will use the 2012A Project on any basis other than the same basis as the general public,
-32-
and no person other than a state or local governmental unit will be a user of the Project as
a result of (i) ownership, or (ii) actual or beneficial use pursuant to a lease or a
management or incentive payment contract, or(iii) any other similar arrangement.
(n) Beginning on the 15th day prior to the Series 2014A Bond sale date, the
Issuer has not sold or delivered, and will not sell or deliver, (nor will it deliver within 15
days after the date of issuance of the Series 2014A Bonds) any other obligations pursuant
to a common plan of financing, which will be paid out of substantially the same source of
funds (or which will have substantially the same claim to be paid out of substantially the
same source of funds) as such Series 2014A Bonds or will be paid directly or indirectly
from Series 2014A Proceeds.
(o) No portion of the 2012A Project is expected to be sold or otherwise
disposed of prior to the last maturity of the Series 2014A Bonds.
(p) The Issuer has not been notified of any disqualification or proposed
disqualification of it by the Internal Revenue Service as a bond issuer which may certify
bond issues under Section 1.148-0 et seq. of the Regulations.
(q) The Yield restrictions contained in (g) above or any other restriction or
covenant contained herein (including in Section 11(e)) need not be observed and may be
changed if the Issuer receives an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such non-
observance or change will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on Bonds
to which applicable Bonds otherwise are entitled.
(r) The Issuer acknowledges that any changes in facts or expectations from
those set forth herein may result in different Yield restrictions or rebate requirements
from those set forth herein and that Bond Counsel should be contacted if such changes do
occur.
(s) The Corporate Authorities have no reason to believe the facts, estimates,
circumstances and expectations set forth herein are untrue or incomplete in any material
respect. On the basis of such facts, estimates, circumstances and expectations, it is not
expected that the Series 2014A Proceeds or any other moneys or property will be used in
a manner that will cause the Series 2014A Bonds to be private activity bonds, arbitrage
bonds or hedge bonds within the meaning of Sections 141, 148 or 149(g) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and of applicable regulations. To the best of the
knowledge and belief of the Corporate Authorities, such expectations are reasonable, and
there are no other facts, estimates and circumstances that would materially change such
expectations.
The Issuer also agrees and covenants with the owners of the Bonds from time to time outstanding
that, to the extent possible under Illinois law, it will comply with all present federal tax law and
related regulations and with whatever federal tax law is adopted and regulations promulgated in
the future which apply to the Series 2014A Bonds and affect the tax-exempt status of such
Bonds.

Village President, Village Administrator, Village Clerk and Village Treasurer of the Issuer, to
make such further filings, covenants, certifications and supplemental agreements as may be
necessary to assure that the Project, each series of the Bonds and related proceeds will not cause
any of the Bonds to be private activity bonds, arbitrage bonds or hedge bonds and to assure that
the interest on each series of the Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income
tax purposes. In connection therewith, the Issuer and the Corporate Authorities further
agree: (a) through the officers of the Issuer, to make such further specific covenants,
representations as shall be true, correct and complete, and assurances as may be necessary or
advisable; (b) to consult with Bond Counsel approving each series of the Bonds and to comply

and pay fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys, and other persons to assist the Issuer in such

compliance with this ordinance. The Issuer is authorized to enter into and give effect to each
applicable Refunding Agreement to refund and retire applicable Prior Bonds. Call of the
designated Prior Bonds to be refunded is authorized.

owners of the Outstanding Bonds, so long as there are any Outstanding Bonds (as defined
herein), as follows:

to maintain the right to receive and apply the applicable Pledged Revenues and Pledged
Taxes in the manner contemplated by this ordinance, and such Pledged Revenues shall
not be less than as shall be required under Section 7 hereof and under Section 15 of the
Local Government Debt Reform Act to maintain the Bonds as Alternate Bonds.
(b) The Issuer covenants that it will, while any of the Bonds shall remain
outstanding, apply sufficient applicable Pledged Revenues to provide for or pay each of

requirements with respect to the Bonds or any other bonds payable from Pledged
Revenues; (3) any other contractual or tort liability obligations, if any, payable from such
Revenues; and (4) in each year, an amount not less than 1.25 times the debt service for all
(i) Alternate Bonds payable from Pledged Revenues, including the Bonds Outstanding;
and (ii) Alternate Bonds proposed to be issued and payable from Revenues. In the event
such coverages are not maintained, the Issuer shall engage a feasibility analyst or other
similarly qualified financial consultant to make an appropriate written report with
recommendations to achieve such coverages. A copy of such report shall be sent upon
request to the Underwriter.
-34-
(c) The Issuer will make and keep proper books and accounts (separate and
apart from all other records and accounts of the Issuer), in which complete entries shall
be made of all transactions relating to the Pledged Revenues, and hereby covenants that
within 120 days following the close of each Fiscal Year, it will cause the books and
accounts related to the Pledged Revenues to be audited by independent certified public
accountants. Such audit will be available for inspection by the registered owners of any
of the Bonds. Upon availability, upon request the Issuer will send to the Underwriter a
copy of such audit and of its general audit in each year. Each such audit, in addition to
whatever matters may be thought proper by the accountants to be included therein, shall,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, include the following:

statement of the amount held in each of the accounts under this
ordinance.
(ii) The amount and details of all Outstanding bonds.
(iii) The accountant's comments regarding the manner in which the
Issuer has carried out the accounting requirements of this
ordinance (including as to the Alternate Bond status of the Bonds)

Reform Act, and the accountant's recommendations for any
changes.
(d) The Issuer will keep its books and accounts in accordance with generally
accepted fund reporting practices for local government entities and enterprise funds;
provided, however, that the monthly credits to each applicable Debt Service Account
shall be in cash, and such funds shall be held separate and apart in cash and investments.
For the purpose of determining whether sufficient cash and investments are on deposit in
such accounts under the terms and requirements of this ordinance, investments shall be
valued at the lower of the cost or market price on the valuation date thereof, which
valuation date shall be not less frequently than annually.
(e) The Issuer will take no action in relation to the Pledged Revenues or the
Pledged Taxes which would unfavorably affect the security of any of the Outstanding
Bonds or the prompt payment of the principal and interest thereon.
(0 The Issuer carry fidelity bonds on officers and employees as required by
applicable law and will carry insurance on Prior Project facilities of the kinds and in the
amounts which are usually carried by private parties operating similar properties,
covering such risks as shall be recommended by a competent consulting engineer or
insurance consultant employed by the Issuer for the purpose of making such
recommendations. All moneys received for any loss under such insurance policies shall
be deposited in a separate subaccount of the Depreciation Account and used in making
good the loss or damage in respect of which they were paid, either by repairing the
property damaged or making replacement of the property destroyed, and provision for
-35-

the loss.
The proceeds derived from any and all policies for workers' compensation or public
liability shall be paid into a separate subaccount of the Operation and Maintenance
Account and used in paying the claims on account of which they were received.
(g) The owner of any Bond may proceed by civil action to compel
performance of all duties required by law, this ordinance and the Disclosure Agreement.
(h) The Issuer will comply with the special covenants concerning Alternate
Bonds as required by Section 15 of the Local Government Debt Reform Act and Section
15 of this ordinance.
(i) After their issuance, the Bonds shall be incontestable by the Issuer, to the
extent lawful.
Section 19. Ordinance to Constitute a Contract. The provisions of this
ordinance shall constitute a contract between the Issuer and the owners of each series of the
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 Issuer shall be for the equal benefit, protection
and security of the owners of any and all of the Bonds. All of the Bonds of each series,
regardless of the time or times of their issuance, shall be of equal rank without preference,
priority or distinction of any of the Bonds of each series over any other thereof except as
expressly provided in or pursuant to this ordinance. This ordinance and the Preliminary
Ordinance shall constitute full authority for the issuance of the Bonds, and to the extent that the
provisions thereof conflict with the provisions of any other ordinance or resolution of the Issuer,
the provisions of this ordinance and the Preliminary Ordinance shall control.
