The Refunding Bonds described herein are hereby authorized to be sold in one or more refunding serial bond issues. The Public Improvement Refunding Bonds shall each be designated substantially "PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT REFUNDING (SERIAL) BOND" together with such series designation and year as is appropriate on the date of sale thereof, shall be of the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (except for any odd denominations, if necessary) not exceeding the principal amount of each respective maturity, shall be numbered with the prefix R-08 (or R with the last two digits of the year in which the Refunding Bonds are issued as appropriate) followed by a dash and then from 1 upward, shall be dated on such dates, and shall mature annually on such dates in such years, bearing interest semi-annually on such dates, at the rate or rates of interest per annum, as may be necessary to sell the same, all as shall be determined by the Village Treasurer pursuant to Section 4 hereof. It is hereby further determined that such Refunding Bonds may be issued in series. It is hereby further determined that such Refunding Bonds may be issued to refund all, or any portion of, the Refunded Bonds. Section 2. The Refunding Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity upon such terms as the Village Treasurer shall prescribe, which terms shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 53.00 (b) of the Local Finance Law. If less than all of the Refunding Bonds of any maturity are to be redeemed, the particular refunding bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by the Village by lot in any customary manner of selection as determined by the Village Treasurer. Notice of such call for redemption shall be given by mailing such notice to the registered owners not less than thirty (30) days prior to such date and as otherwise provided in Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-23856, as the same may be amended from time to time. Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the bonds so called for redemption shall, on the date for redemption set forth in such call for redemption, become due and payable, together with interest to such redemption date, and interest shall cease to be paid thereon after such redemption date. The Refunding Bonds shall be issued in registered form and shall not be registrable to bearer or convertible into bearer coupon form. In the event said Refunding Bonds are issued in non-certificated form, such bonds, when issued, shall be initially issued in registered form in denominations such that one bond shall be issued for each maturity of bonds and shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), which will act as securities depository for the bonds in accordance with the Book-Entry-Only system of DTC. In the event that either DTC shall discontinue the Book-Entry-Only system or the Village shall terminate its participation in such Book-Entry-Only system, such bonds shall thereafter be issued in certificated form of the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof (except for any odd denominations, if necessary) not exceeding the principal amount of each respective maturity. In the case non-certificated Refunding Bonds, principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable by check or draft mailed by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined) to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or to its nominee, Cede & Co., while the bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co. in accordance with such Book-Entry-Only System. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of the bonds at the principal corporate trust office of such Fiscal Agent. In the event said Refunding Bonds are issued in certificated form, principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds shall be payable by check or draft mailed by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined) to the registered owners of the Refunding Bonds as shown on the registration books of the Village maintained by the Fiscal Agent (as hereinafter defined), as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the calendar month or first business day of the calendar month preceding each interest payment date as appropriate and as provided in a certificate of the Village Treasurer providing for the details of the Refunding Bonds. Principal shall only be payable upon surrender of bonds at the principal corporate trust office of a bank or trust company or banks or trust companies located or authorized to do business in the State of New York, as shall hereafter be designated by the Village Treasurer as fiscal agent of the Village for the Refunding Bonds (collectively the "Fiscal Agent"). Refunding Bonds in certificated form may be transferred or exchanged at any time prior to maturity at the principal corporate trust office of the Fiscal Agent for bonds of the same maturity of any authorized denomination or denominations in the same aggregate principal amount. Principal and interest on the Refunding Bonds will be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. The Village Treasurer, as chief fiscal officer of the Village, is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an agreement or agreements containing such terms and conditions as she or he shall deem proper with the Fiscal Agent, for the purpose of having such bank or trust company or banks or trust companies act, in connection with the Refunding Bonds, as the Fiscal Agent for said Village, to perform the services described in Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, and to execute such agreement or agreements on behalf of the Village, regardless of whether the Refunding Bonds are initially issued in certificated or non-certificated form. The Village Treasurer is hereby further delegated all powers of this Village with respect to agreements for credit enhancement, derived from and pursuant to Section 168.00 of the Local Finance Law, for said Refunding Bonds, including, but not limited to the determination of the provider of such credit enhancement facility or facilities and the terms and contents of any agreement or agreements related thereto. The Refunding Bonds shall be executed in the name of the Village by the manual or facsimile signature of the Village Treasurer and the Village Clerk, and a facsimile of its corporate seal shall be imprinted thereon. In the event of facsimile signature, the Refunding Bonds shall be authenticated by the manual signature of an authorized officer or employee of the Fiscal Agent. The Refunding Bonds shall contain the recital required by subdivision 4 of paragraph j of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law and the recital of validity clause provided for in Section 52.00 of the Local Finance Law and shall otherwise be in such form and contain such recitals, in addition to those required by Section 51.00 of the Local Finance Law, as the Village Treasurer shall determine. It is hereby determined that it is to the financial advantage of the Village not to impose and collect from registered owners of the Refunding Bonds any charges for mailing, shipping and insuring bonds transferred or exchanged by the Fiscal Agent, and, accordingly, pursuant to paragraph c of Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, no such charges shall be so collected by the Fiscal Agent. Section 3. It is hereby determined that: (a) the maximum amount of the Refunding Bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to this resolution does not exceed the limitation imposed by subdivision 1 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; (b) the maximum periods of probable usefulness permitted by law at the time of the issuance of the Refunded Bonds for the objects or purposes for which the Refunded Bonds were issued is 30 years; (c) the last installment of the Refunding Bonds will mature not later than the expiration of the period of probable usefulness of each of the objects or purposes for which the Refunded Bonds were issued in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 1 of paragraph c of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; (d) the estimated present value of the total debt service savings anticipated as a result of the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, computed in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 2 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, with regard to the Refunded Bonds, is as shown in the Refunding Financial Plan described in Section 4 hereof. Section 4. The financial plan for the refunding authorized by this resolution (the "Refunding Financial Plan"), showing the sources and amounts of all moneys required to accomplish such refunding, the estimated present value of the total debt service savings and the basis for the computation of the aforesaid estimated present value of total debt service savings, are set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part of this resolution. The Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared based upon the assumption that the Refunding Bonds will be issued in one series to refund all of the Refunded Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,725,000, and that the Refunding Bonds will mature, be of such terms, and bear interest as set forth on said Exhibit A. This Board of Trustees recognizes that the Refunding Bonds may be issued in series, and for all of the Refunded Bonds or portions thereof, that the amount of the Refunding Bonds, maturities, terms, and interest rate or rates borne by the Refunding Bonds to be issued by the Village will most probably be different from such assumptions and that the Refunding Financial Plan will also most probably be different from that attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Village Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to determine the amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, whether one or more series will be issued, the date or dates of such bonds and the date or dates of issue, maturities and terms thereof, the provisions relating to the redemption of Refunding Bonds prior to maturity, whether the Refunding Bonds will be insured by a policy or policies of municipal bond insurance or otherwise enhanced by a credit enhancement facility or facilities, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by paragraph e of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law, and the rate or rates of interest to be borne thereby, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be issued having substantially level or declining annual debt service and all matters related thereto, and to prepare, or cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan for the Refunding Bonds and all powers in connection therewith are hereby delegated to the Village Treasurer; provided, that the terms of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, including the rate or rates of interest borne thereby, shall comply with the requirements of Section 90.00 or 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. The Village Treasurer shall file a copy of her or his certificate determining the details of the Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the Village Clerk not later than ten (l0) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein provided. Section 5. The Village Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to enter into an escrow contract or contracts (collectively the "Escrow Contract") with a bank or trust company, or with banks or trust companies, located and authorized to do business in this State as he shall designate (collectively the "Escrow Holder") for the purpose of having the Escrow Holder act, in connection with the Refunding Bonds, as the escrow holder to perform the services described in Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law. Section 6. The faith and credit of said Village of Liverpool, Onondaga County, New York, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same respectively become due and payable. An annual appropriation shall be made in each year sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such bonds becoming due and payable in such year. There shall be annually levied on all the taxable real property in said Village a tax sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on such Refunding Bonds as the same become due and payable. Section 7. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, including the premium, if any, but excluding accrued interest thereon, shall immediately upon receipt thereof be placed in escrow with the Escrow Holder for the Refunded Bonds to the extent required by law. Accrued interest, if any, on the Refunding Bonds shall be paid to the Village Treasurer to be expended to pay interest on the Refunding Bonds. Such proceeds as are deposited in the escrow deposit fund to be created and established pursuant to the Escrow Contract, whether in the form of cash or investments, or both, inclusive of any interest earned from the investment thereof, shall be irrevocably committed and pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds in accordance with Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, and the holders, from time to time, of the Refunded Bonds shall have a lien upon such moneys held by the Escrow Holder. Such pledge and lien shall become valid and binding upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow Holder for the Refunded Bonds in the escrow deposit fund shall immediately be subject thereto without any further act. Such pledge and lien shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the Village irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Section 8. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, so long as any of the Refunding Bonds shall be outstanding, the Village shall not use, or permit the use of, any proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds in any manner which would cause the Refunding Bonds to be an "arbitrage bond" as defined in Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, to the extent applicable, the Regulations promulgated by the United States Treasury Department thereunder. Section 9. In accordance with the provisions of Section 53.00 and of paragraph h of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, in the event the Refunded Bonds are refunded, the Village hereby elects to call in and redeem on July 15, 2016 all Refunded Bonds maturing on and after July 15, 2017. The sum to be paid therefor on such redemption date shall be the par value thereof plus the accrued interest to such redemption date. The Escrow Agent for the Refunding Bonds is hereby authorized and directed to cause notice of such call for redemption to be given in the name of the Village in the manner and within the times provided in the respective Refunded Bonds Resolution. Such notice of redemption shall be in substantially the form attached to the Escrow Contract. Upon the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, the election to call in and redeem the callable Refunded Bonds and the direction to the Escrow Agent to cause notice thereof to be given as provided in this paragraph shall become irrevocable, provided that this paragraph may be amended from time to time as may be necessary in order to comply with the publication requirements of paragraph a of Section 53.00 of the Local Finance Law, or any successor law thereto. Section 10. The Refunding Bonds shall be sold at private sale to the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (the “EFC") for purchase prices to be determined by the Village Treasurer, plus accrued interest from the date or dates of the Refunding Bonds to the date or dates of the delivery of and payment for the Refunding Bonds. Subject to the approval of the terms and conditions of such private sale by the State Comptroller as required by subdivision 2 of paragraph f of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, the Village Treasurer, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver a Project Finance Agreement for the Refunding Bonds in the name and on behalf of the Village providing the terms and conditions for the sale and delivery of the Refunding Bonds to the EFC. After the Refunding Bonds have been duly executed, they shall be delivered by the Village Treasurer to the EFC in accordance with said Project Finance Agreement upon the receipt by the Village of said purchase price, including accrued interest. Section 11. The Village Treasurer and all other officers, employees and agents of the Village are hereby authorized and directed for and on behalf of the Village to execute and deliver all certificates and other documents, perform all acts and do all things required or contemplated to be executed, performed or done by this resolution or any document or agreement approved hereby. Section 12. All other matters pertaining to the terms and issuance of the Refunding Bonds shall be determined by the Village Treasurer and all powers in connection thereof are hereby delegated to the Village Treasurer. Section 13. The validity of the Refunding Bonds may be contested only if: (a) Such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which said Village is not authorized to expend money, or (b) The provisions of law which should be complied with at the date of publication of this resolution are not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting such validity is commenced within twenty days after the date of such publication, or (c) Such obligations are authorized in violation of the provisions of the Constitution.
