Interest on the BANs shall be payable at maturity. It shall not be necessary for the City to repeat the procedures for the issuance of the 2016 Bonds as the procedures followed before the issuance of the BANs are for all purposes sufficient to authorize the issuance of the 2016 Bonds and to use proceeds thereof to repay the BANs. The principal of the BANs herein authorized is payable solely from proceeds received from the sale of the 2016 Bonds, and the interest thereon may be paid from such proceeds or from the Net Revenues or a combination thereof, and the proceeds received by the City from the sale of the 2016 Bonds and such Net Revenues are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the BANs.

The Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed to obtain the legal opinion as to the validity of the BANs from Barnes & Thornburg LLP. After the BANs shall have been properly executed, the Fiscal Officer shall be authorized to receive from the purchaser thereof payment for the BANs and to provide for delivery of the BANs to the purchaser. The City may receive payment for the BANs in installments. Proceeds received from the sale of the BANs shall be deposited in the funds set forth in Section 11 of this Ordinance. The Fiscal Officer is authorized to sell the BANs to any investor, and to work with the investor to facilitate the sale of the BANs. In any case any officer whose signature or a facsimile signature appears on the BANs shall cease to be such officer before delivery of the BANs, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such officer had remained in office until delivery of the BANs. Upon execution of the BANs by the Executive and attestation thereof by the City Clerk, the BANs shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the City. 28
