(2) Reserve Account. All money in each of the accounts in the Allocation Fund shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds and shall be applied, used and withdrawn only for the purposes authorized in this Section 5. The proceeds of the Allocation Fund shall be deposited with a legally qualified depositor or depositories for funds of the City as now provided by law and shall be segregated and kept separate and apart from all other funds of the City and may be invested in accordance with the provisions of IC 5 -13 -1 and any acts amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto. (a) Bond Principal and Interest Account. There shall be set aside within the Allocation Fund and deposited in the Bond Principal and Interest Account an amount of money which, together with any money contained therein, is equal to the aggregate amount of the interest becoming due that calendar year payable on all outstanding Bonds and the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds becoming due and payable on the next principal payment date. No deposit need be made into the Bond Principal and Interest Account if the amount contained therein is at least equal to the aggregate amount of the interest becoming due and payable on all outstanding Bonds during that calendar year and the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds maturing by their terms on the next succeeding principal payment date. All money in the Bond Principal and Interest Account shall be used and withdrawn solely for the purpose of paying the interest on and the principal of the Bonds as it shall become due and payable to the extent it is required therefor (including accrued interest on any Bonds purchased or redeemed prior to maturity). (b) Reserve Account. There shall be set aside from the Allocation Fund and deposited in the Reserve Account an amount of money that shall be required to maintain the Reserve Account in the full amount of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement (as defined below). No deposit need be made in the Reserve Account so long as there shall be on deposit therein a sum equal to the lesser of fifteen percent (15 %) of the original issuance price of the Bonds or the average annual principal and -14- interest payments on the outstanding Bonds (the "Debt Service Reserve Requirement "). All money in the Reserve Account shall be used and withdrawn by the City solely for the purpose of making deposits into the Bond Principal and Interest Account, in the event of any deficiency at any time in such account, or for the purpose of paying the interest on or principal of or redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds in the event that no other money is lawfully available therefor, except that so long as there is no default hereunder any amount in the Reserve Account in excess of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement shall be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and deposited in the General Account. Money in the Reserve Account shall also be available to make the final payments of interest and principal on the Bonds. (c) The remaining amounts in the Allocation Fund shall accumulate in the General Account of the Allocation Fund and be available to: (1) Pay the principal of and interest on any obligations (including the Bonds) payable solely from allocated tax proceeds which are incurred by the Redevelopment District for the purpose of financing or refinancing the redevelopment of that Allocation Area; (2) Restore the debt service reserve for bonds (including the Bonds) payable solely or in part from allocated tax proceeds in the Allocation Area; (3) Pay the principal of and interest on bonds payable from allocated tax proceeds in the Allocation Area and from the special tax levied under IC 36- 7- 14 -27; or (4) Pay the principal of and interest on bonds issued by the City to pay for local public improvements in the Allocation Area, to reimburse the City for expenditures made by City for local public improvements (which include buildings, parking facilities, and other items described in IC 36- 7- 14- 25.1(a)) within the Allocation Area, or for rentals paid by City for a building or parking facility within that Allocation Area under any lease entered into IC 36 -1 -10. -15- provided however, that if further uses of property tax proceeds allocated to the Allocation Fund are authorized or permitted by amendment to the Act, including IC 36- 7- 14 -39, those uses shall also be authorized or permitted for property tax proceeds allocated to the Allocation Fund; and (d) When the money in the Allocation Fund is sufficient to pay when due all principal and interest on bonds described in subdivisions (1), (3) and (4) of subsection (c), and is not needed for the other purposes described in subsection (c), money in the Allocation Fund in excess of that amount (the "Excess Funds ") shall be paid to the Controller and presented to the County Treasurer who shall, during the time a part of the Allocation Area is located in an enterprise zone created under IC 4- 4 -6.1, deposit such Excess Funds in a special fund created for the enterprise zone and when no part of the Allocation Area is located in an enter- prise zone then the Excess Funds shall be deposited in the funds for the respective taxing units entitled thereto. The Tax Increment, other than the Excess Funds, shall be irrevocably pledged for the purposes set forth in this Section 5. SECTION 6. 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 for the purpose of raising money for future property acquisition or redevelop- ment in the Allocation Area. In the event any Parity Bonds are issued pursuant to this Section 6, the term "Bonds" in this Resolution shall 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: (a) All interest and principal payments with respect to all bonds payable from the Tax Increment shall be current to date in accordance with the terms thereof with no payment in arrears. (b) The balance in the Reserve Account shall equal the Debt Service Reserve Requirement.

In estimating the Tax Increment to be received in any future year, the Controller, independent certified public accountant, or independent financial consultant, as the case may be, 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 (a) the Certifier shall adjust such assessed values for the future effects of the reduction of real property tax abatements granted to property owners in the Allocation Area, and (b) in the case of improvements, or portions thereof, to real property under construction, if the Certifier reasonably believes that the improvement or portion thereof will be substantially completed at the time of the issuance of the Parity Bonds, the Certifier shall base his calculation on the assessed valuation estimated to be assessed as of the assessment date immediately subsequent to the issuance of the Parity Bonds. No increase in the Tax Increment to be received in any future year shall be assumed that results from projected inflation in property values or projected increases in property tax rates. 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. SECTION 7. Proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds shall be deposited as follows: 1. All accrued interest and unused discount received at the time of the delivery of the Bonds and any premium received at the time of delivery of the Bonds shall be placed in the Bond Principal and Interest Account; 2. An amount equal to the lesser of Five Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Dollars ($535,000) or the Debt Service Reserve Requirement shall be deposited in the Reserve Account; and 3.

SECTION 8. Proceeds of the Redevelopment District (South Bend Central Development Allocation Area) Capital Fund shall be deposited with a legally qualified depository or depositories for funds of the City as now provided by law and shall be segregated and kept separate and apart from all other funds of the City and may be invested in accordance with the provisions of IC 5 -13 -1 and any acts amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto. The proceeds in the Redevelopment District (South Bend Central Development Allocation Area) Capital Fund shall be expended only for the purpose of paying the cost of property acquisition and redevelopment in the Allocation Area, together with expenses incidental thereto and expenses in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Any balance or balances remaining in the Redevelopment District (South Bend Central Development Allocation Area) Capital Fund after the completion of property acquisition and redevelopment in the Allocation Area which are not required to meet unpaid obligations incurred in connection with the property acquisition and redevelopment in the Allocation Area and issuance of the Bonds, shall be deposited into the Bond Principal and Interest Account and used solely for the purposes of that account. SECTION 9. As soon as can be done after the adop- tion of this Resolution, the President and the Secretary of the Commission are hereby directed to deliver on behalf of the Commission a certified copy of this Resolution to the Controller. As soon as can be done after the passage of this Resolution, the Secretary of the Commission shall give notice of determination to issue bonds as required by IC 6- 1.1 -20 -5, by publishing said notice once each week for two weeks in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri- county News and by posting said notice in three public places in the Redevelopment District. SECTION 10. Except as provided in Section 11, below, prior to the sale of the Bonds, the Controller shall cause to be published a notice of such sale two times, at least one week apart, in the South Bend Tribune and Tri- County News. The notice may also be published in Credit Markets, a financial journal published in the City and State of New York, in the Indianapolis Commercial, a financial journal published in the City of Indianapolis, Indiana, and /or other newspapers at the discretion of the Controller. The date fixed for the sale shall not be earlier than fifteen (15) days after the first such publications and not earlier than three (3) days after the second of such publications in the South Bend Tribune and the Tri- county News. The Bond sale notice shall state the time and place of sale, the purpose C ": M' for which the Bonds are being issued, the total amount thereof, the maximum rate of interest thereon, the time and place of payment, the terms and conditions on which the bids will be received and the sale made, and such other information as the Controller shall deem necessary. The notice of said sale shall not, however, be published prior to the expiration of the period during which taxpayers may file objecting peti- tions pursuant to IC 6- 1.1 -20 -5. In the event an objecting petition or petitions are filed by taxpayers under the provi- sions of IC 6- 1.1 -20 -5, then the Bond sale notice shall not be published unless and until the State Board of Tax Commissioners shall issue its order approving the issuance of the Bonds. In the event it shall be determined by the State Board of Tax Commissioners, or otherwise, that the whole amount of the Bonds herein authorized shall not be issued, then the Controller shall be authorized to advertise and sell a lesser amount of Bonds. The Bonds not issued shall be an amount for each maturity set out in Section 1 that is in Authorized Denominations and most closely repre- sents a pro rata reduction for each maturity. Bidders for the Bonds shall be required to name the rate or rates of interest which the Bonds are to bear, not exceeding the maximum rate hereinabove fixed, and such interest rate or rates shall be in multiples of 1/8 or 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 bear the same rate. No rate for any maturity shall be more than one percent (1%) lower than any prior rate. Subject to provisions contained below, the Controller shall award the Bonds to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost to be determined by computing the total interest on all of the Bonds from the date thereof to the date of their maturities and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any or adding thereto the amount of any discount, if any. No bid for less than ninety -seven percent (97 %) of the par value of the Bonds, and accrued interest at the rate named to the date of delivery, shall be considered. If no acceptable bid is received at the time fixed for the sale of the Bonds, then the sale may be continued from day to day for a period not to exceed Thirty (30) days without readvertising. During the continuation of the sale, no bid shall be accepted which offers an interest cost which is equal to or higher than the best bid received at the time fixed for the sale in the Bond sale notice. The acceptability of a bid is within the sole discretion of the Controller. SECTION 11. Instead of proceeding with an adver- tised public sale, as provided in Section 10, above, the Controller in his discretion may sell the Bonds by private negotiated sale, as provided by IC 36- 7- 14- 25.1(8). However, -19- r. . . the Controller may not sell the Bonds at a price less than, and at an interest rate higher than, the minimum price and the maximum interest rate, respectively set forth herein. SECTION 12. The Controller is hereby authorized and directed to obtain a legal opinion as to the validity of the Bonds from Baker & Daniels, bond counsel, of Indianapolis, Indiana, and to furnish such opinion to the purchaser of the Bonds. The cost of said opinion shall be considered as part of the costs incidental to these proceedings and shall be paid out of the proceeds of the Bonds. SECTION 13. Any Bonds issued under this Resolution may be initially issued in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds. The temporary Bonds may be printed, litho- graphed or typewritten, shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the South Bend Redevelopment Commission, shall be in fully registered forms and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Resolution as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed, sealed and attested by the Mayor and Controller in substan- tially the same manner as provided in Section 1 hereof. If temporary Bonds are issued, definitive Bonds will be executed and furnished without delay and thereupon the temporary Bonds may be surrendered for cancellation at the principal office of the Registrar and the Registrar shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds of the same interest rates and maturities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as definitive Bonds issued hereunder. SECTION 14. The Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the Bonds with his manual or facsimile signature and the Controller is hereby authorized and directed to have the definitive Bonds prepared, attest the Bonds with his manual or facsimile signature, and cause the seal of the City to be impressed or a facsimile thereof to be printed on the Bonds, all in the form and manner herein provided. In case any officer whose signature appears on the Bonds shall cease to hold that office before the delivery of the Bonds, the signa- ture shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until the delivery of the Bonds. After the Bonds shall have been properly executed, the Controller shall deliver the same to the Treasurer of St. Joseph County, ex officio Treasurer of the City and shall take his receipt therefor; and upon the consummation of the sale of the Bonds, the Controller shall then certify to the Treasurer the amount which the purchaser is to pay for the same together with the name and address of the purchaser; thereupon, said Treasurer shall be authorized to receive from the purchaser the amount -20- t. o so certified by the Controller and to deliver the Bonds to such purchaser and take the purchaser's receipt for the Bonds. If the Treasurer of St. Joseph County is not available, then the Controller shall deliver the Bonds to the purchaser, and deliver the proceeds to the Treasurer of St. Joseph County. SECTION 15. No action shall be taken that would impair the tax exemption for interest on the Bonds provided by Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended (the "Code "). In particular, and without limiting the foregoing, the proceeds of the Bonds shall not be used or invested in any manner that will cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Code. So long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding, no action shall be taken or authorized that will cause the Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of such Section 103(c) and Treasury Regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, including Treasury Regulation Sections 1.103 -13, 1.103 -14 and 1.103 -15 as they presently exist or may from time to time be amended, supple- mented, or revised. SECTION 16. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Resolution shall be held to be invalid or unenforce- able for any reason, the invalidity or unenforceability of such section, paragraph or provision shall not affect any of the remaining provisions of this Resolution. SECTION 17. All resolutions and orders, or parts thereof, in conflict with the provisions of this Resolution, are, to the extent of such conflict, hereby repealed, and this Resolution shall be in immediate effect from and after its adoption. SECTION 18. If the date for making any payment or the last date for performance of any act or the exercising of any right, as provided in the Resolution, shall be a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions in the City are typically closed, such payment may be made or act performed or right exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday or a day on which such banking institutions are typically closed, with the same force and effect as if done on the nominal date provided in this Resolution, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such nominal date. • owners and at as sha hereof a part SECTION 19.

Any act done pursuant to a modification or amendment so consented to shall be binding upon all the owners of the Bonds and shall not be deemed an infringement of any of the provisions of this Resolution or of the Act, and may be done and performed as fully and freely as if expressly permitted by the terms of this Resolution, and after such consent relating to such specified matters has been given, no owner shall have any right or interest to object to such action or in any manner to question the propriety thereof or to enjoin or restrain the Commission or any officer thereof from taking any action pursuant thereto. If the Commission shall desire to obtain any such consent, it shall cause the Registrar to mail a notice, postage prepaid, to the respective owners of the Bonds at their addresses appearing on the registration books held by the Registrar. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental resolution and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the office of the Registrar for inspection by all owners of the Bonds. The Registrar shall • not, however, be subject to any liability to any owners of the Bonds by reason of its failure to mail the notice described in this Section 19, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental resolution when consented to and approved as provided in this Section 19. -22- 'F. 6 • V , Whenever at any time within one year after the date of the mailing of such notice, the Commission shall receive an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the owners of the Bonds of not less than sixty percent (60%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding (exclusive of Bonds, of any, owned by the Commission or the City), which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed suplemental resolution described in such notice, and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption thereof in substantially the form of the copy thereof referred to in such notice as on file with the Registrar, thereupon, but not otherwise, the Commission may adopt such supplemental resolution in substantially such form, without liability or responsibility to any owners of the Bonds, whether or not such owner shall have consented thereto. Upon the adoption of any supplemental resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Section 19, this Resolution shall be, and be deemed to be, modified and amended in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Resolution shall thereafter be deter- mined, exercised and enforced hereunder, subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments.
