SECTION 1. For the purpose of procuring funds to pay for the
cost of redevelopment and economic development in the Area, together with a
sum sufficient to pay the estimated cost of all expenses reasonably incurred in

including the total cost of all reasonable and necessary architectural, engineering,

Bonds, the City acting for and on behalf of the Redevelopment District, shall

issued in the name of the City, for and on behalf of the Redevelopment District

JL
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 2 -
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Bonds shall,
in compliance with all applicable laws, be initially issued and held in book -entry
form and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository
Trust Company without physical distribution of Bonds to the purchasers thereof.
The President of the Commission is hereby authorized to take such action as may
be necessary to provide for the Bonds to be issued in book - entry -only form,
including without limitation executing a Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations.
The Bonds shall mature semiannually on each February 1 and
August 1 beginning on August 1, 2004, or such later date as may be set forth in
the Issuer's Certificate, and thereafter on each February 1 and August 1 through
and including August 1, 2024, or such earlier final maturity date and in such
annual principal amounts set forth in the Issuer's Certificate.
A Registrar and Paying Agent (the "Registrar" or the "Paying
Agent" or in both such capacities as the "Registrar and Paying Agent ") shall be
appointed by the Controller. The Controller is hereby authorized to solicit and
receive proposals with regard to the services of a registrar and paying agent. The
Registrar and Paying Agent is hereby charged with and shall by appropriate
agreement undertake the performance of all of the duties and responsibilities
customarily associated with each such position, including without limitation
authenticating the Bonds. The Registrar shall keep and maintain at its principal
office books for the registration and for the transfer of the Bonds (the "Bond
Register "). The President of the Commission and the Controller are hereby
authorized and directed, on behalf of the Commission, to enter into such
agreements or understandings with the Registrar and Paying Agent as will enable
the Registrar and Paying Agent to perform the services required of a registrar and
a paying agent, and is authorized and directed to pay the Registrar and Paying
Agent for its services out of available funds.
The principal of and premium, if any, on the Bonds shall be
payable at the principal office of the Paying Agent for the Bonds. Interest on the
Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed or delivered to the registered owners
thereof at the address as it appears on the Bond Register as of the 15`h day of the
month immediately preceding the interest payment date or at such other address
as is provided to the Paying Agent in writing by such registered owners. All
payments on the Bonds shall be made in any coin or currency of the United States
of America which on the dates of such payments shall be legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts.
The Bonds shall bear an original date which shall be the first day
of the month in which the Bonds are sold (the "Original Date ") and each Bond
shall also bear the date of its authentication. Bonds authenticated on or before
July 15, 2004, shall be paid interest from the Original Date. Bonds authenticated
after July 15, 2004, shall pay interest from the interest payment date immediately
preceding the date of authentication of such Bonds unless the Bonds are
authenticated between the fifteenth day of the month preceding an interest
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 3 -
payment date and the interest payment date, in which case interest thereon shall
be paid from such interest payment date.
Each Bond shall be transferable or exchangeable only upon the
Bond Register by the registered owner thereof in person, or by his attorney duly
authorized in writing, upon surrender of such Bond together with a written
instrument of transfer or exchange satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by
the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon a
new fully registered Bond or Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount and
of the same maturity shall be executed and delivered in the name of the transferee
or transferees or the registered owner, as the case may be, in exchange therefor.
Bonds may be transferred or exchanged without cost to the registered owner,
except for any tax or governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the
exchange. The Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond
called for redemption or during the period from the fifteenth day of any calendar
month immediately preceding an interest payment date to such interest payment
date. The City, the Commission, the Registrar and the Paying Agent 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.
In the event any Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the
City may execute on behalf of the Redevelopment District and the registrar may
authenticate a new Bond of like date, maturity and denomination as that
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, which new Bond shall be marked in a manner
to distinguish it from the Bond for which it was issued; provided, that in the case
of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the
Registrar, and in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond there shall be first
furnished to the City and the Registrar evidence of such loss, theft or destruction
satisfactory to the City and the Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory to
them. In the event any such lost, stolen or destroyed Bond shall have matured,
instead of issuing a duplicate Bond, the City and the Registrar may, upon
receiving indemnity satisfactory to them, pay the same without surrender thereof.
The City and the Registrar may charge the owner of such Bond with their
reasonable fees and expenses in connection with the above. Every substitute
Bond issued by reason of any Bond being lost, stolen or destroyed shall, with
respect to such Bonds, constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the City,
acting for and on behalf of the Redevelopment District, whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Resolution, equally and proportionately with any and all other
Bonds duly issued hereunder.
The Registrar or the Paying Agent may at any time resign as
Registrar or Paying Agent by giving thirty (30) days' written notice to the
Commission and by first -class mail to each registered owner of Bonds then
outstanding, and such resignation will take effect at the end of such thirty (30)
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 4 -
days or upon the earlier appointment of a successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as
the case may be, by the Commission. Such notice to the Commission may be
served personally or be sent by registered mail. The Registrar or Paying Agent
may be removed at any time as Registrar or Paying Agent by the Commission, in
which event the Commission may appoint a successor Registrar or Paying Agent
as the case may be. The Commission shall notify each registered owner of Bonds
then outstanding by first -class mail of the removal of the Registrar or Paying
Agent. Notices to registered owners of 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 Bond Register. Any predecessor Registrar shall deliver all the
Bonds in its possession and the Bond Register to the successor Registrar and any
predecessor Paying Agent shall deliver all the cash in its possession to the
successor Paying Agent.
The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the City, acting for and
on behalf of the Redevelopment District, by the manual or facsimile signature of
the Mayor, countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Controller
and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the City Clerk, who shall
cause the official seal of the City to be impressed or a facsimile thereof to be
printed on each of the Bonds. Subject to the provisions for registration, the Bonds
shall be negotiable under the laws of the State of Indiana.
The Bonds shall be authenticated with the manual signature of an
authorized representative of the Registrar, and no Bonds shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under this
Resolution until the certificate of authentication on such Bond shall have been so
executed.
follows:
Section 2. Section 2 of the Bond Resolution is hereby amended to read as
SECTION 2.
(a) Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing on February 1,
2015, and thereafter are subject to redemption at the option of the Commission on
August 1, 2013, or any date thereafter, only in Authorized Denominations, as a
whole or in part from time to time (with the maturities and amounts of the Bonds
to be redeemed to be selected by the Commission), at face value plus interest
accrued on the Bonds so redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, and without
premium.
Unless waived by any holder of Bonds to be redeemed, official
notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Registrar on behalf of the
Commission identifying the Bonds, by mailing a copy of an official redemption
notice by registered or certified 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 shown on the Bond Register or
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 5 -
at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the
Registrar; provided, however, that failure to give such notice by mailing, or any
defect therein, with respect to any Bond shall not affect the validity of any
proceedings for the redemption of other Bonds.
All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state:
(1) the redemption date,
(2) the redemption price,
(3) if less than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed,
(4) 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, and
(5) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for
payment of the redemption price, which place of payment
shall be the place provided for the payment of the principal
of and premium, if any, on the Bonds.
Prior to any redemption date, the Commission 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 that date.
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 Commission shall default in the payment of the
redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest.
Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice,
such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. Bonds
redeemed in part may be exchanged for a Bond or Bonds of the same maturity in
Authorized Denominations equal to the remaining principal amount. In addition
to the foregoing notice, further notice may be given by the Registrar as it deems
appropriate by mail, publication or otherwise to registered securities depositories,
national information services or others containing the above information and such
further information as the Registrar may deem appropriate, 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 described.
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 6 -
(b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. At the option of the
purchaser for the Bonds, all or a portion of the Bonds may be aggregated into one
(1) or more term bonds payable from mandatory sinking fund redemption
payments (the "Term Bonds ") required to be made as set forth below. The Term
Bonds shall have a stated maturity or maturities on February 1 or August 1 of the
years 2005 through and including 2024, or such other years as may be set forth in
the Issuer's Certificate or as determined by the successful bidder.
In the event that the purchaser opts to aggregate certain Bonds into
Term Bonds, such Term Bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund
redemption prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, but without
premium, on February 1 and August 1 of each year and in the principal amounts
corresponding to and consistent with the maturity schedule for the Bonds set forth
in the Issuer's Certificate.
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall credit against the current
mandatory sinking fund requirement for a Term Bond of a particular maturity,
any Bonds of such maturity delivered to the Registrar and Paying Agent for
cancellation or purchased for cancellation by the Registrar and Paying Agent and
canceled by the Registrar and Paying Agent and not theretofore applied as a credit
against any mandatory sinking fund requirement. Each Bond so delivered or
purchased shall be credited by the Registrar and Paying Agent at 100% of the
IL principal amount thereof against the mandatory sinking fund redemption
requirements for the applicable Term Bond In order of mandatory sinking fund
redemption (or final maturity) dates determined by the Board, and the principal
amount of such Term Bond to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund
redemption dates by operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirements shall
be reduced accordingly; provided, however, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall
only credit Bonds against the mandatory sinking fund requirements to the extent
such Bonds are received on or before 45 days preceding the applicable mandatory
sinking fund redemption date.
The Registrar shall determine by lot (treating each $5,000 principal
amount of each Bond as a separate Bond for such purpose) the Bonds within a
Term Bond of a particular maturity to be redeemed pursuant to the mandatory
sinking fund redemption requirements on February 1 and August 1 of each year.
Notice of any such mandatory sinking fund redemption shall be
given in the same manner as notice of optional redemption is required to be given
pursuant to this Section 2 of this Resolution. If Bonds are to be redeemed by
optional redemption and mandatory sinking fund redemption on the same date,
the Registrar shall select by lot the Bonds for optional redemption before selecting
the Bonds by lot for the mandatory sinking fund redemption.
SBIMANI 158875v2 - % -
In the event any of the Bonds are issued as Term Bonds, the form
of the Bond set forth in Section 3 of this Resolution shall be modified
accordingly.
Any reference to payment of principal on the Bonds shall include
payment of scheduled mandatory sinking fund redemption payments described in
this Section 2.
follows:
Section 3. Section 3 of the Bond Resolution is hereby amended to read as
SECTION 3.
(a) The Bonds may be sold (i) at public sale in accordance with
I.C. 5 -3 -1, (ii) at a negotiated, private sale upon terms acceptable to the President
of the Commission and the Controller, or (iii) at a private sale to the Indiana Bond
Bank ( "the Bond Bank "). In no event shall the Bonds be sold at a purchase price
of less than ninety -nine percent (99%) of the par value of the Bonds or such
higher purchase price as may be set forth in the Issuer's Certificate. If the
President of the Commission and the Controller determine to proceed with a
negotiated sale of the Bonds, they shall set forth such determination in the Issuer's
Certificate. The President of the Commission and the Controller are hereby
authorized to enter into a bond purchase agreement for the sale of the Bonds on
the terms and conditions set forth therein, consistent with the provisions of this
Resolution.
(b) In the event that the Bonds are not sold via a negotiated
sale, prior to the sale of the Bonds, the Controller shall cause to be published a
notice of intent to sell bonds two times at least one week apart in the South Bend
Tribune, the Tri- County News, and the Court and Commercial Record. The
notice of such sale or a summary thereof may also be published in such other
publications, in the discretion of the Controller. The notice must state that any
person interested in submitting a bid for the Bonds may furnish in writing, at the
address set forth in the notice, the person's name, address, and telephone number,
and that any such person may also furnish a telex number. The notice must also
state: (1) the amount of the Bonds to be offered; (2) the denominations; (3) the
dates of maturity; (4) the maximum rate or rates of interest; (5) the place of sale;
and (6) the time within which the name, address and telephone number must be
furnished, which must not be less than seven (7) days after the last publication of
the notice. Each person so registered shall be notified of the date and time bids
will be received not less than twenty -four (24) hours before the date and time of
sale. The notification shall be made by telephone at the number furnished by the
person, and also by telex if the person furnishes a telex number. Such notice may
also include such other information as the Controller shall deem necessary. Such
notice shall also provide, among other things, that each bid shall be accompanied
by a certified or cashier's check or a financial surety bond in an amount equal to
one percent (1 %) of the principal amount of the Bonds to guarantee performance
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 8 -
on the part of the bidder. Such notice shall provide further that, if a financial
surety bond is used by the successful bidder, such bidder must submit the amount
of the financial surety bond in the form of a certified or cashier's check or a wire
transfer consisting of immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. (local
time) on the next business day following the award to the successful bidder by the
City. Such notice shall provide further that, in the event the successful bidder
shall fail or refuse to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds as soon as the
Bonds are ready for delivery, or at the time fixed in the notice of intent to sell,
then such amount deposited with the City shall become the property of the City
and shall be considered as the City's liquidated damages on account of such
default.
All bids for Bonds shall be sealed and shall be presented to the
Controller at the Controller's office, and the Controller shall continue to receive
all bids offered until the hour fixed for the sale of the Bonds, at which time and
place the Controller shall open and consider each bid. Bidders for the Bonds shall
be required to name the rate or rates of interest which the Bonds are to bear, not
exceeding seven percent per annum (or such lesser rate as the Controller, with the
advice of the financial advisor of the Commission, shall determine prior to the
publication of the notice of intent to sell). Such interest rate or rates shall be in
multiples of one - eighth (1/8) or one - twentieth (1/20) of one percent (1 %). Bids
specifying more than one interest rate shall also specify the amount and maturities
of the Bonds bearing each rate, and all Bonds maturing on the same date shall
,„r bear the same rate of interest. The interest rate on Bonds of a given maturity must
be at least as great as the interest rate on Bonds of any earlier maturity.
Subject to the provisions set forth below, the Controller shall
award the Bonds to the bidder offering the lowest net interest cost to the City, to
be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds from the date
thereof to their maturities and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, or
adding thereto the amount of any discount. No bid for less than ninety -nine
percent (99 %) of the par value of the Bonds (or such higher percentage of the par
value of the Bonds as the Controller, with the advice of the financial advisor to
the Commission, shall determine prior to the publication of the notice of intent to
sell), plus accrued interest at the rate or rates named to the date of delivery, will
be considered. The Controller shall have full right to reject any and all bids. In
the event no acceptable bid is received at the time fixed for the sale of the Bonds,
the Controller shall be authorized to continue to receive bids from day to day
thereafter for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, without readvertising,
pursuant to Indiana law.
(c) If sold to the Bond Bank, the Bonds shall be sold in such
denomination or denominations as the Bond Bank may request, and pursuant to a
purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement ") between the Commission and the
Bond Bank, hereby authorized to be entered into and executed by the President on
behalf of the Commission, and attested by the Controller, subsequent to the date
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 9 -
of the adoption of this Resolution. Such Purchase Agreement may set forth the
definitive terms and conditions for such sale, but all of such terms and conditions
must be consistent with the terms and conditions of this Resolution, including
without limitation, the interest rate or rates on the Bonds which shall not exceed
the maximum rate of interest for the Bonds authorized pursuant to this Resolution.
The Bonds sold to the Bond Bank shall be accompanied by all documentation
required by the Bond Bank pursuant to the provisions of Indiana Code 5 -1.5 and
the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, an approving opinion of
nationally recognized bond counsel, certification and guarantee of signatures and
certification as to no litigation pending, as of the date of delivery of the Bonds to
the Bond Bank, challenging the validity or issuance of the Bonds. In the event the
Controller determines to sell the Bonds to the Bond Bank, the submission of an
application to the Bond Bank and the entry by the Commission into the Purchase
Agreement and the execution of the Purchase Agreement on behalf of the
Commission by the President in accordance with this Resolution are hereby
authorized, approved and ratified.
(d) If the Bonds are sold at a public or private, negotiated sale
other than to the Bond Bank, the Bonds shall be offered and sold pursuant to an
Official Statement with respect to the Bonds (the "Official Statement "), to be
made available and distributed in such manner, at such times, for such periods and
in such number of copies as may be required pursuant to Rule 15c2 -12
promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Rule "). The Commission hereby authorizes the Controller to approve the form
of the Preliminary Official Statement upon the advice of counsel with such
approval to be conclusively evidenced by signature of the Controller thereon. The
Commission hereby authorizes the Controller to deem "final" the Preliminary
Official Statement, as of its date, in accordance with the provisions of the Rule,
subject to completion as permitted by the Rule, and the Commission further
authorizes the distribution of the deemed final Official Statement. The
Commission hereby authorizes and directs the Controller, upon the advice of the
counsel to place into final form and distribute and cause to be delivered the final
Official Statement in accordance with the Rule, and further authorizes the
Controller to execute the final Official Statement. The Commission covenants
and agrees that it will comply with and carry out the continuing disclosure
requirements of Section (b)(5) of the Rule. The Commission hereby authorizes
the Controller to approve a continuing disclosure contract and to execute the same
on the date the Bonds are issued.
Section 4. Section 5 of the Bond Resolution is hereby amended as follows:
SECTION 5.
(a) The Redevelopment District reserves the right to authorize
and issue additional bonds ('Parity Bonds "), payable out of the Tax Increment,
ranking on a parity with the Bonds authorized by this Resolution and payable
ratably from the Tax Increment for the purpose of raising money for future
SBWANI 158875v2 -10-
property acquisition, redevelopment and economic development in or serving the
Area. In the event any Parity Bonds are issued pursuant to this Paragraph
No. 5(a), the term "Bonds" in this Resolution shall, unless the context otherwise
requires, be deemed to refer to the bonds authorized to be issued by this
Resolution and such Parity Bonds. The authorization and issuance of Parity
Bonds shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:
(i) All interest and principal payments with respect to
all obligations payable from the Tax Increment shall be current to date
with no payment in arrears.
(ii) The balance in the Reserve Account shall equal the
Debt Service Reserve Requirement.
(iii) The Commission shall have received a certificate
prepared by an independent certified public accountant or an independent
financial consultant ( "Certifier ") certifying that the Tax Increment
estimated to be received in each succeeding year, adjusted as provided
below, is estimated to be equal to at least 125% of the principal and
interest requirements of all obligations of the Commission payable from
Tax Increment for each respective year during the term of the bonds with
respect to the Bonds and the Parity Bonds. In estimating the Tax
Increment to be received in any future year, the Certifier shall base his
calculation on assessed valuation actually assessed or to be assessed as of
the assessment date immediately preceding the issuance of the Parity
Bonds; provided, however, the Certifier shall adjust such assessed values
for the current and future reductions of real property tax abatements
granted to property owners in the Area. No increase in the Tax Increment
to be received in any future year shall be assumed which results from
projected inflation in property values.
(iv) The principal of said Parity Bonds shall be payable
semiannually on February 1 and August 1 and interest on said Parity
Bonds shall be payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 in years
in which principal and interest are payable.
The Commission shall approve and confirm the findings and estimates set forth in
the above - described certificate in any supplemental resolution authorizing the
issuance of the Parity Bonds.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, so long as any
of the Bonds are outstanding, no additional bonds or other obligations pledging
any portion of the Tax Increment shall be authorized, executed or issued by the
City acting for and on behalf of the Redevelopment District except such as shall
be made subordinate and junior in all respects to the Bonds, unless all of the
Bonds are redeemed and retired coincidentally with the delivery of such
additional bonds or other obligations, or, as provided in Section 15, funds
SBIMANI 158875v2 - 11 -
14
sufficient to effect such redemption are available and set aside for that purpose at
the time of issuance of such additional bonds.
Section 5. The Commission hereby acknowledges that the remaining terms
and provisions of the Bond Resolution remain in full force and effect.
Section 6. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect after its adoption
by the Commission.
