<br />proceeds of, and within 90 days after issuance of, the Notes, and represents that all other
<br />conditions are met for treating the amount of the Notes equal to the face amount thereof as
<br />"qualified tax-exempt obligations" and as not to be taken into account under subparagraph (D) of
<br />Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, without necessity for further designation, by reason of
<br />subparagraph (D)(ii) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. Further, the Village represents and
<br />covenants that, during any time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Notes as
<br />"qualified tax-exempt obligations", it has not formed or participated in the formation of, or
<br />benefited from or availed itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph (C) or
<br />(D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and will not form, participate in the formation of, or benefit
<br />from or avail itself of, any such entity. The Village further represents that the Notes are not being
<br />issued as part of a direct or indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots of tax-exempt
<br />obligations of different issuers.
<br />The amount of the Notes (such amount being based on the issue price of the Notes as
<br />determined under the Code) in excess of the face amount thereof are hereby designated as
<br />"qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In that
<br />connection, the Village hereby represents and covenants that it, together with all its subordinate
<br />entities or entities that issue obligations on its behalf, or on behalf of which it issues obligations, in
<br />or during the calendar year in which the Notes are issued (i) have not issued and will not issue
<br />tax-exempt obligations designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section
<br />265(b)(3) of the Code, including the aforesaid amount of the Notes, in an aggregate amount in
<br />excess of $10,000,000 and (ii) have not issued, do not reasonably anticipate issuing, and will not
<br />issue, tax-exempt obligations (including the aforesaid amount of the Notes, but excluding
<br />obligations, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in Section 145 of the Code, that are
<br />private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code and excluding refunding obligations
<br />that are not advance refunding obligations as defined in Section 149(d)(5) of the Code) in an
<br />aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000, unless the Village first obtains a written opinion of
<br />nationally recognized bond counsel that such designation or issuance, as applicable, will not
<br />adversely affect the status of the Notes as "qualified tax-exempt obligations". Further, the Village
<br />represents and covenants that, during any time or in any manner as might affect the status of the
<br />Notes as "qualified tax-exempt obligations", it has not formed or participated in the formation of,
<br />or benefitted from or availed itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph
<br />(C) or (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and will not form, participate in the formation of, or
<br />benefit from or avail itself of, any such entity. The Village further represents that the Notes are
<br />not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots of
<br />tax-exempt obligations of different issuers.
<br />The Director of Finance, as the fiscal officer, or any other officer of the Village having
<br />responsibility for issuance of the Notes is hereby authorized (a) to make or effect any election,
<br />selection, designation, choice, consent, approval, or waiver on behalf of the Village with respect to
<br />the Notes as the Village is permitted or required to make or give under the federal income tax
<br />laws, including, without limitation thereto, any of the elections provided for in Section
<br />148(f)(4)(C) of the Code or available under Section 148 of the Code, for the purpose of assuring,
<br />enhancing or protecting favorable tax treatment or status of the Notes or interest thereon or
<br />assisting compliance with requirements for that purpose, reducing the burden or expense of such
<br />compliance, reducing the rebate amount or payments of penalties, or making payments of special
<br />amounts in lieu of making computations to determine, or paying, excess earnings as rebate, or
