Meeting April A• MEETING OF THE MOUNT PROSPECT •A' Fiscal Impact Dollar Amount Budget Source Category NEW BUSINESS Type Ordinance The Village can refinance its existing debt if the market is offering lower interest rates for the new bonds. At those occasions, the Village can issue new bonds at a lower rate and payoff the old bonds originally issued at a higher rate. The process allows the Village to capture savings in terms of future interest payments. However, the Village can payoff originally issued bonds only on call dates. A call date is the date on which refunding of original bonds are allowed. Unlike home mortgages, the municipal bonds cannot be refinanced at any time. In addition, starting 2016, advanced refunding of tax-exempt bond is prohibited. Previously, many municipal agencies were advance -refunding the exempt bonds and there were multiple issues outstanding with a significant amount of overlap, where the newer bonds were issued way ahead of the call date and practically for a single 1 project. There were multiple bond issues outstanding where the IRS was losing income tax revenue due to tax-exempt status of bonds. Now, advanced refunding is only allowed within 90 days of the call date. If the refunding is done prior to 90 days of call date, the bonds will lose its tax-exempt status and the rate of interest can be much higher as well as the Village will be subject to a lawsuit from the bondholders. The Village had issued General Obligation Bonds totaling $9.8 million for flood control projects in 2013. The interest rate on these bonds range from 3.0% to 4.13%. These bonds have a call date of December 11 2022. As of today, $8,195,000 is outstanding in principal amount for these bonds. The current bond market is offering attractive rates. The Village issued water/sewer bonds in January 2022 and was able to get an effective rate of 2.14%. Since then, the interest rates have increased. If the Village issues new bonds today, the effective rate can be around 2.35% to 2.5%. The Federal Government has announced that they may be executing as many as seven rate increases in the prime rate. Due to current market conditions as well as expected rate increases, the refunding might not be as attractive as it is today. To overcome the compliance issues with the advanced refunding, as well as to capture the savings offered by the current market, the Village can approve an ordinance for refunding 2013 bonds with forward delivery and it is summarized as below: • Forward delivery approach will lock the interest rate as soon as possible, but it will allow us to wait until the current refunding window opens (From September 2, 2022 to December 1, 2022). • The approach will minimize the interest rate risk. The escrow period is much shorter with forward delivery and it also minimizes the negative arbitrage. If new bonds are issued on September 1 but the old bonds cannot be paid off before December 1, the bond proceeds stays in an escrow account for three months. If the bond proceeds stays in an escrow account for a longtime, it earns a very little interest while the outstanding bonds are accruing interest at a higher rate, which creates a negative arbitrage. With forward delivery, the timelines can be designed in a way that issuance of new bonds and paying off old bonds are coordinated and the bond proceeds do not have to sit in an escrow account for long time, which minimizes the negative arbitrage. • The approach will also be executed as a private placement (negotiated) rather than a competitive bidding. This approach will minimize the issuance costs and will not involve credit rating agencies. 2 • The approach will require a forward delivery premium up to 0.05% per month. The current rates will allow the Village to capture the debt service (interest) savings of $725,219. If the Village waits until the refunding window opens up (from September to December), the rates may go up by 50 basis points (effective rate of 2.85%), and the savings might be reduced from $725,219 to $443,219. With the forward delivery approach, the Village is expected to achieve an effective rate of 2.55% and capture interest savings of $613,319. The forward delivery approach is expected to generate additional savings of $170,100 in the interest costs. Alternatives 1.

The Village Treasurer, the Purchaser (as hereinafter defined) or a bank or trust company with an office located in the State of Illinois, the State of Minnesota or the State of Missouri, as set forth in the Bond Notification (the "Registrar" or "Paying Agent") is hereby appointed to serve as registrar and paying agent for the Bonds. The Registrar is hereby charged with the responsibility of authenticating the Bonds. The Mayor, the Treasurer of the Village (the "Village Treasurer"), and the Village Clerk of the Village (the "Village Clerk") are hereby authorized to enter into such agreements or understandings with the Registrar as will enable the institution to perform the services required of a registrar and paying agent. The Mayor and Village Treasurer are further authorized to pay such fees as the Registrar may charge for the services it provides as Registrar and Paying Agent, and such fees may be paid from the fund established to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds.

The Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond during the period beginning at the close of business on the -5- 4857-5745-9988.2 0 fifteenth (15th) day next preceding an interest payment date on such Bond and ending on such interest payment date, or after notice calling such Bond for redemption has been mailed, or during the fifteen (15) day period next preceding mailing of notice of redemption of any Bonds. The costs of such transfer or exchange shall be borne by the Village except for any tax or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange, which taxes or governmental charges are payable by the person requesting such transfer or exchange. The Village, the Registrar and the Paying Agent for the Bonds may treat and consider the person in whose name such Bonds are registered as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, including for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal thereof and interest due thereon. The Registrar and Paying Agent may at any time resign as registrar and paying agent upon giving 30 days' notice in writing to the Village and by first class mail to each registered owner of the Bonds then outstanding, and such resignation will take effect at the end of such 30 -day period or upon the earlier appointment of a successor registrar and paying agent by the Village. Any such notice to the Village may be served personally or sent by registered mail. The Registrar and Paying Agent may be removed at any time as registrar and paying agent by the Village, in which event the Village may appoint a successor registrar and paying agent for the Bonds. The Village shall notify each registered owner of the Bonds then outstanding by first class mail of the removal of the registrar and paying agent. Notices to the registered owners of the Bonds shall be deemed to be given when mailed by first class mail to the addresses of such registered owners as they appear on the registration books kept by the Registrar. Upon the appointment of any successor registrar and paying agent by the Village, the Mayor, the Village Treasurer or the Village Clerk are authorized and directed to enter into such M 4857-5745-9988.2 10 agreements and understandings with such successor registrar and paying agent as will enable the institution to perform the services required of a registrar and paying agent for the Bonds.

Any predecessor registrar and paying agent shall deliver all of the Bonds and any cash or investments in its possession with respect thereto, together with the registration books, to the successor registrar and paying agent. (b) Book Entry System. This subsection shall apply, if at all, as set forth in the Bond Notification. The Village has determined that it is beneficial to the Village to have the Bonds held by a central depository system pursuant to an agreement between the Village and The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("Depository Trust Company") and have transfers of the Bonds effected by book -entry on the books of the central depository system ("Book Entry System"). The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single authenticated fully registered Bond for the aggregate principal amount of each separate maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company. With respect to the Bonds registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, the Village and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any other holders or owners (including any beneficial owner ("Beneficial Owner")) of the Bonds with respect to (i) the accuracy of the -7- 4857-5745-9988.2 11 records of the Depository Trust Company, CEDE & CO., or any Beneficial Owner with respect to ownership questions, (ii) the delivery to any bondholder (including any Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository Trust Company, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any bondholder (including any Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than the Depository Trust Company, of any amount with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds except as otherwise provided herein. So long as the Bonds are registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, no person other than the Depository Trust Company shall receive an authenticated Bond evidencing an obligation of the Village to make payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds pursuant to this Ordinance. The Village and the Registrar and Paying Agent may treat as and deem the Depository Trust Company or CEDE & CO. to be the absolute bondholder of each of the Bonds for the purpose of (i) payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds; (ii) giving notices of redemption and other notices permitted to be given to bondholders with respect to such Bonds; (iii) registering transfers with respect to such Bonds; (iv) obtaining any consent or other action required or permitted to be taken of or by bondholders; (v) voting; and (vi) for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the Depository Trust Company, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to satisfy and discharge the Village's and the Paying Agent's obligations with respect to principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Upon delivery by the Depository Trust Company to the Village of written notice to the effect that the Depository Trust Company has determined to 4857-5745-9988.2 12 substitute a new nominee in place of CEDE & CO., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to consents, the words "CEDE & CO." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of the Depository Trust Company. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, all payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds and all notices with respect to such Bonds shall be made and given, respectively, to the Depository Trust Company as provided in a representation letter from the Village to the Depository Trust Company. Upon receipt by the Village of written notice from the Depository Trust Company to the effect that the Depository Trust Company is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of the Depository Trust Company hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable and customary terms, then the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the register of the Village kept by the Registrar in the name of CEDE & CO., as nominee of the Depository Trust Company, but may be registered in whatever naive or names the bondholders transferring or exchanging the Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. If the Village determines that it is in the best interest of the bondholders that they be able to obtain certificates for the fully registered Bonds, the Village may notify the Depository Trust Company and the Registrar, whereupon the Depository Trust Company will notify the Beneficial Owners of the availability through the Depository Trust Company of certificates for the Bonds. In such event, the Registrar shall prepare, authenticate, transfer and exchange certificates for the Bonds as requested by the Depository Trust Company and any Beneficial Owners in appropriate -9- 4857-5745-9988.2 13 amounts, and whenever the Depository Trust Company requests the Village and the Registrar to do so, the Registrar and the Village will cooperate with the Depository Trust Company by taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to (i) make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the fully registered Bonds of any Beneficial Owner's Depository Trust Company account or (ii) arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates for and evidencing the Bonds. If the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of the Depository Trust Company, the Registrar shall cause said Bonds to be printed in blank in such number as the Registrar shall determine to be necessary or customary; provided, however, that the Registrar shall not be required to have such Bonds printed until it shall have received from the Village indemnification for all costs and expenses associated with such printing. Section 5. Redemption. (a) Optional Redemption. If so provided in the Bond Notification, the Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the Village, from any available funds, in whole or in part, in integral multiples of $5,000, in any order of their maturity as determined by the Village (less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity to be selected by the Registrar and within any maturity by lot), on the date of redemption provided in the Bond Notification and on any date thereafter, at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the redemption date. (b) Mandatory Redemption. The Bonds may be subject to mandatory redemption as set forth in the Bond Notification. (c) General. For any such redemptions, the Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof The Village shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the - 10- 4857-5745-9988.2 14 Registrar), notify the Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount and maturity or maturities of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Bonds of a single maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot not more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date by the Registrar, by such method of lottery as the Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that such lottery shall provide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or portions of Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof. The Registrar shall promptly notify the Village in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Section 6. Redemption Procedure. For any such redemptions, unless waived by the registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of the call for any such redemption shall be given by the Registrar on behalf of the Village by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Registrar. All official notices of redemption shall state: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the redemption price, (iii) the identification by CUSIP numbers, if applicable, and maturity dates (and, in the case of partial redemption of Bonds within a maturity, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed, (iv) 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 and after said date, -11- 4857-5745-9988.2 15 (v) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the office maintained for such purpose by the Registrar, and (vi) such other information then required by custom, practice or industry standard. Prior to any redemption date, the Village shall deposit with the Registrar an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on such redemption date. Unless moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may, at the option of the Village, state that said redemption shall be conditioned upon the receipt of such moneys by the Registrar on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, the Village shall not redeem such Bonds, and the Registrar shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, 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 (unless the Village shall default in the payment of the redemption price) 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 redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by a registered owner of a Bond entitled to receive such notice either before or - 12- 4857-5745-9988.2 `F after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by registered owners shall be filed with the 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 said notice, such Bonds or portions being redeemed shall be paid by the Registrar at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for the payment of interest. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity in the amount of the unpaid principal, of like tenor, of authorized denominations, and bearing the same rate of interest. If any Bond or portion of a Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and premium, if any, shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Bond or portion of a Bond so called for redemption. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be canceled and destroyed by the Registrar and shall not be reissued. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the Registrar on behalf and at the expense of the Village as set out below, but no defect in said 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 notice of redemption plus (a) the CUSIP numbers 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. -13- 4857-5745-9988.2 17 Upon the payment of the redemption price of Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer. Section 7. Execution and Negotiability. Each of the Bonds shall be executed in the name of the Village by the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor, and the seal of the Village shall be affixed, imprinted, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Village Clerk. In case any officer whose signature or facsimile signature appears on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the Bonds, the signature of such officer shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. The Bonds shall have all of the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of Illinois, subject to the provisions for registration herein. The Bonds shall also be authenticated by the manual signature of the Registrar and no Bond shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the certificate of authentication thereon has been so executed. Section 8. Form of Bonds. The form and tenor of the Bond shall be substantially as follows, all blanks to be filled in properly prior to delivery: - 14- 4857-5745-9988.2 18 REGISTERED NO R-_ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA STATE OF ILLINOIS COUNTY OF COOK VILLAGE OF MOUNT PROSPECT GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BOND, SERIES 20 Interest Maturity Original Authentication Rate Date Date Date December 1, REGISTERED OWNER: [CEDE & CO.] PRINCIPAL SUM: REGISTERED CUSIP The Village of Mount Prospect, in Cook County, Illinois (the "Village"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner named above or registered assigns, the Principal Sum set forth above on the Maturity Date set forth above (unless this bond be subject to and be called for redemption prior to maturity as hereinafter provided), and to pay interest hereon (computed on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months) at the Interest Rate per annum stated above from the interest payment date to which interest has been paid next preceding the Authentication Date of this bond unless this bond is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day next preceding an interest payment date and on or before such interest payment date in which case it shall bear interest from such interest payment date or unless this bond is authenticated on or before the fifteenth (15th) day next preceding the first interest payment date, in which case it shall bear interest from the Original Date, until the principal is paid, which interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December I in each year, beginning on , 20_.

Nothing herein contained shall require the Village to make any such payment so long as the Village in good faith contests the validity of said claims. C. The Village will keep, or cause to be kept, proper books of record and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts of the Village, in which complete and correct entries will be made of all transactions relating to the Levied Taxes and the Bond Fund.

G. Once issued and while outstanding, the Bonds shall be and forever remain until paid or defeased the general obligation of the Village, for the payment of which its full faith and credit are pledged and shall be payable from the levy of the Levied Taxes. Section 20. Tax Covenants. In order to preserve the exclusion of interest on any Bonds, the interest on which is exempt from gross income for federal tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as existing on the date of issuance of the Bonds (the "Code") and as an inducement to purchasers of the Bonds, the Village represents, covenants and agrees that: (a) The facilities financed with the Bonds are available for use by members of the general public. Use by a member of the general public means use by natural persons not engaged in a trade or business. No person or entity, other than the Village or another state or local governmental unit, will use more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds or property financed by Bond proceeds other than as a member of the general public. No person or entity other than the Village or another state or local governmental unit own property financed by Bond proceeds or have actual or beneficial use of such property pursuant to a lease, a management or incentive payment contract, an arrangement such as a take -or -pay or output contract or any other type of arrangement that conveys other special legal entitlements and differentiates that person's or entity's use of such property from the use by the general public, unless such uses in the aggregate relate to no more than 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds. (b) No more than ten percent (10%) of the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds will be (under the terms of the Bonds, this Ordinance or any underlying arrangement), -30- 4857-5745-9988.2 34 directly or indirectly, (i) secured by any interest in property used or to be used for a private business use or payments in respect of such property or (ii) derived from payments (whether or not to the Village) in respect of such property or borrowed money used or to be used for a private business use. (c) No more than five percent (5%) of the Bond proceeds will be loaned to any entity or person other than a state or local governmental unit. No more than five percent (5%) of the Bond proceeds will be transferred, directly or indirectly, or deemed transferred to a nongovernmental person in any manner that would in substance constitute a loan of the Bond proceeds. (d) The Village reasonably expects, as of the date hereof, that it will comply with the covenants described in paragraph (a), (b) and (c) above during the entire term of the Bonds. (e) No more than five percent (5%) of the proceeds of the Bonds will be attributable to private business use as described in (a) and private security or payments described in (b) attributable to unrelated or disproportionate private business use. For this purpose, the private business use test is applied by taking into account only use that is not related to any government use of proceeds of the issue (Unrelated Use) and use that is related but disproportionate to any governmental use of those proceeds (Disproportionate Use). (f) The Village will not take any action nor fail to take any action with respect to the Bonds that would result in the loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal tax purposes nor will the Village act in any other manner which would adversely affect such status, and it will not make any investment or do any other act or thing during the period that the Bonds are outstanding which would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. -31- 4857-5745-9988.2 35 (g) The Village certifies that to the extent necessary to preserve the tax-exempt status of the Bonds it will rebate any arbitrage profits to the United States of America in accordance with Section 148(f) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. It shall be not an event of default under this Ordinance if interest on any Bond is not excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to any provision of the Code which is not currently in effect and in existence on the date of issuance of the Bonds. (h) The Village represents that the Bonds are not private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code. (i) These covenants are based solely on current law in effect and in existence on the date of delivery of such Bonds. The Village hereby authorizes the officials of the Village responsible for issuing the Bonds, the same being the Mayor, the Village Clerk and the Village Treasurer, to make such further covenants and certifications as may be necessary to assure that the use thereof will not cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds and to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. In connection therewith, the Village further agrees: (a) through its officers, to make such further specific covenants, representations as shall be truthful, and assurances as may be necessary or advisable; (b) to consult with counsel approving the Bonds and to comply with such advice as may be given; (c) to pay to the United States, as necessary, such sums of money representing required rebates of excess arbitrage profits relating to the Bonds as required pursuant to Section 148 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; (d) to file such forms, statements, and supporting documents as may be required and in a timely manner; and (e) if deemed necessary or advisable -32- 4857-5745-9988.2 36 by their officers, to employ and pay fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys, and other persons to assist the Village in such compliance. Section 21. Noncompliance with Tax Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Ordinance, the covenants and authorizations contained in this Ordinance (the "Tax Sections") which are designed to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income under federal law (the "Tax Exemption") need not be complied with if the Village receives an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that any Tax Section is unnecessary to preserve the Tax Exemption. Section 22. Registered Form. The Village recognizes that Section 149(a) of the Code requires the Bonds to be issued and to remain in fully registered form in order that interest thereon is exempt from federal income taxation for the Bonds. In this connection, the Village agrees that it will not take any action to permit the Bonds to be issued in, or converted into, bearer or coupon form. Section 23. Severability. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Ordinance shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Ordinance. Section 24. Publication. The Village Clerk is hereby authorized and directed to publish this Ordinance in pamphlet form and to file copies thereof for public inspection in his/her office. Section 25.
