Section 2. Authorization and Terms of Bonds. To meet part of the estimated cost of the Refunding, there is hereby appropriated the sum of up to $180,000, to be derived from the proceeds of the bonds herein described. For the purpose of financing such appropriation, general obligation bonds of the City shall be issued and sold in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $180,000, shall each be designated "General Obligation Refunding Bond, Series 1993" (herein, the "bonds"), and shall be issuable in the denominations of $5,000 or any authorized integral multiple thereof. The bonds shall be membered consecutively from 1 upwards in order of their issuance and may bear such identifying numbers or letters as shall be useful to facilitate the registration, transfer and exchange of -3- bonds. Unless otherwise determined in an order to authenticate the bonds, each bond shall be dated as of the interest payment date next preceding the date of issuance thereof, except that (a) if such date of issuance shall be prior to the first interest payment date, each bond shall be dated as of or after December 1, 1993, and as of or before the date of issuance sale and delivery thereof, as the purchaser or purchasers thereof agree or accept, (b) if such date of issuance shall be an interest payment date, each bond shall be dated as of such interest payment date, or (c) if interest due on any bond shall not have been paid in full, then notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, such bond shall be dated as of the last date to which interest has been paid in full on such bond. The bonds shall bear interest at the rates and shall mature on December 1 of the years and in the respective principal amounts as follows: Principal Interest Year Amount Rate_ 1994 60,000 3.15% 1995 60,000 3.40% 1996 60,000 3.65% Each bond shall bear interest from its date, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and payable in lawful money of the United States of America on June 1, 1994, and semiannually thereafter on each December 1 and June 1 at the rates per annum herein set forth. The principal of and premium, if any, on the bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America upon presentation and surrender thereof at the principal office of The National Bank of Canton, in the City of Canton, Illinois, which is hereby appointed paying agent for the bonds (the "paying agent"). Interest on the bonds shall be payable on each interest payment date to the registered owners of record appearing on the registration books maintained by The National Bank of Canton, in -4- the City of Canton, Illinois, the bond registrar (the "bond registrar") on behalf of the City for such purpose, at the principal office of the bond registrar as of the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month next preceding the applicable interest payment date. Interest on the bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed to such registered owners at their addresses appearing on the registration books. The bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City, with the notice as herein provided, in inverse order of maturity on any interest payment date at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be so redeemed, plus accrued interest. 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. Notice of the redemption of bonds shall be mailed not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to the registered owners of bonds to be re- deemed at their last addresses appearing on the registration books thereof. 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, and if, on tie redemption date, moneys for payment of the redemption price of all the bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, together with interest to the redemption date, shall be available for such payment on such redemption date, and if notice of redemption shall have been mailed as set forth above (and notwithstanding -5- any defect therein or the lack of actual receipt thereof by any registered owner) then from and after the redemption date interest on such bonds or portions thereof shall cease to accrue and become payable. If there shall be drawn for redemption less than all of a bond, the City shall execute and the bond registrar shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such bond, without charge to the 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. The bond registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any bond after notice of the redemption of all or a portion thereof has been mailed. The bond registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any bond during the period from the fifteenth (15th) day of the month preceding any interest payment date to such interest payment date or during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the mailing of a notice of redemption which could designate for redemption all or a portion of such bond.

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 City 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 any member of the City Council or any officer or employee of the City (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.

Section 5. Transfer, Exchange and Registration. The bonds shall be negotiable, subject to the provisions for registration of transfer contained herein.

For every such exchange or registration of transfer of bonds, the City or the bond registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer. No other charge shall be made for the privilege of making such transfer or exchange. The provisions of the Illinois Bond Replacement Act shall govern the replacement of lost, destroyed or defaced bonds. The City and the bond registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name any bond shall be registered upon the registration books as the absolute owner of such bond, whether such bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, or interest thereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, and all such payments so made to any such registered owner or upon such registered owner's order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the City nor the bond registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Section 6. Bond Registrar and Paying Agent. The City covenants that it shall at all times retain a bond registrar and paying agent with respect to the bonds and shall cause to be -8- maintained at the office of such 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 them by this ordinance in a manner consistent with the standards, customs and practices of the municipal securities business. The City may enter into appropriate agreements with the registrar and paying agent in connection with the foregoing. 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 City 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 the bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent are the agents of the City 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 City may remove the bond registrar or paying agent at any time. In case at any time the bond registrar or paying agent shall resign or shall be removed or shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver, liquidator or conservator of the bond registrar, 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 City covenants and agrees that it will thereupon appoint a successor bond registrar or paying agent, as the case may be. The City shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of any such appointment made by it to each registered owner of bonds within twenty days after such -9- appointment. Any bond registrar or paying agent appointed under the provisions of this Section shall be a bank, trust company, national banking association or other qualified professional with respect to such matters, maintaining its principal office in the State of Illinois.
