the Village pursuant to the provisions of Sections 90.00 and 90.10 of the Local Finance
Law (the “Refunding Bonds”), it being anticipated that the amount of Refunding Bonds

The proposed principal amounts and dates of maturity of such Refunding Bonds are set

Section 2. It is hereby determined pursuant to Section 90.10 that:
(a) the maximum amount of the Refunding Bonds authorized to be issued pursuant

(c) the last installment of the Refunding Bonds will mature not later than expiration

changes in market interest rates;
Section 3. (a) The Village Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to enter into
an escrow contract (the “Escrow Contract”) with a bank or trust company located and
authorized to do business in the State of New York as the Village Treasurer shall
designate (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. In addition, the Escrow Contract may
include a forward supply or purchase contract or agreement as part thereof or as a
separate agreement for the provision of acquiring obligations of the United States of
America or unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of America or other
obligations or instruments qualified under Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law or may
be necessary for the completion of the Refunding Financial Plan. The Escrow Contract
shall contain such terms and conditions as shall be necessary or required, including terms
and conditions required for the completion of the Refunding Financial Plan, including
provisions for the Escrow Holder, without further authorization or direction from the Board
of Trustees of the Village, except as otherwise provided therein, including, without
limitation, (i) to make all required payments of principal, interest and any redemption
premiums to appropriate paying agents with respect to the Refunded Bonds, (ii) to pay
costs and expenses incidental to the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, including the
development of the Refunding Financial Plan, and of executing and performing the terms
and conditions of the Escrow Contract by the Escrow Holder, (iii) at the appropriate time or
times, to cause to be given on behalf of the Village in the manner provided by law the
notice of redemption authorized to be given pursuant to Section 7 hereof, and (iv) to invest
the moneys held by the Escrow Holder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Contract and
consistent with the provisions of the Refunding Financial Plan. The Escrow Contract shall
be irrevocable and shall constitute a covenant with the owners of the Refunding Bonds.
(b) The proceeds, inclusive of any premium, from the sale of the Refunding Bonds,
immediately upon receipt, shall be placed in escrow by the Village with the Escrow Holder
pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Contract. All moneys held by the Escrow Holder shall
be invested only in direct obligations of the United States of America, in obligations the
principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by the United States of
America or in obligations or instruments qualified under Section 90.10 of the Local Finance
Law, which obligations or instruments shall mature or be subject to redemption at the
option of the Escrow Holder not later than the respective dates when such moneys will be
required to make payments in accordance with the Escrow Contract and the Refunding
Financial Plan. Any such moneys remaining in the custody of the Escrow Holder after the
performance in full of the Escrow Contract by the Escrow Holder shall be returned to the
Village and shall be applied by the Village Treasurer to the payment of the principal of or
interest on the Refunding Bonds then outstanding, to the payment of any amounts
required to be paid to the United States of America in connection with the refunding of the
Refunding Bonds or to the payment of or reimbursement for the costs of issuance or other
administrative costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Refunding Bonds. In
connection with the investment of moneys held by the Escrow Holder under the Escrow
Contract, the Village Treasurer is authorized to execute on behalf of the Village any
forward purchase or supply contract for the purchase or supply of the securities described
in this subsection (b) at a date subsequent to the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as is
needed to accomplish the purposes of the Refunding Financial Plan.
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, is set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof. The
Refunding Financial Plan has been prepared based upon the assumption that the
Refunding Bonds will be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $3,755,000 and will
mature, be of such terms, and bear such interest as set forth in the Refunding Financial
Plan. The Board of Trustees of the Village recognizes that the principal amount of the
Refunding Bonds, the series, maturities, terms, interest rate or rates borne by the
Refunding Bonds, the provisions for redemption thereof prior to maturity and whether or
not all of the Refunding Bonds will be insured, and the resulting present value savings are
likely to vary from such assumptions and that the Refunding Financial Plan will likely vary
from that attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Village Treasurer is hereby authorized and
directed to determine the principal amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, the series
and designation or designations thereof, the time or times of the sale thereof, the
maturities and terms thereof, the provisions relating to the redemption of the Refunding
Bonds prior to maturity, if any, the rate or rates of interest to be borne thereby, whether or
not the Refunding Bonds will be insured in whole or in part or uninsured, and to prepare, or
cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan, all in accordance herewith, and all
powers in connection therewith may be exercised by 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 90.10 of the Local Finance Law.
The Village Treasurer shall file a copy of a certificate determining the details of the
Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the Village Clerk within ten
(10) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein provided.
Section 5. The faith and credit of the Village 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 the Refunding Bonds becoming due and payable in
such year. To the extent that the same are not paid from other sources, there shall be
annually levied on all the taxable real property in the Village a tax sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same become due and payable,
subject to applicable statutory limitations imposed by Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011 of
the State.
Section 6. Proceeds from the sale of the Refunding Bonds, including any accrued
interest and, together with interest earned thereon, which shall be required for the payment
of the principal of and interest on the Refunded Bonds, including any redemption or call
premiums, in accordance with the Refunding Financial Plan, shall be irrevocably
committed and pledged to such purpose and the owners of the Refunded Bonds shall
have a lien upon such moneys and the investments thereof held by the Escrow Holder.
The pledge and lien provided by this resolution shall become valid and binding upon the
issuance of the Refunding Bonds and the moneys and investments held by the Escrow
Holder shall immediately be subject thereto without any further act. Such pledge and lien
shall be valid and binding against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract,
equity, at law or otherwise against the Village irrespective of whether such parties have
notice thereof. Neither this resolution, the Escrow Contract, nor any other instrument
relating to such pledge and lien, needs to be filed or recorded.
Section 7. In accordance with the terms of the Refunded Bonds and the provisions
of Section 53.00 and of paragraph (h) of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, the
Village hereby elects to call in and redeem each Refunded Bond, which the Village
Treasurer shall determine to be refunded at the earliest call date available. The sum to be
paid therefor on such redemption date shall be the par value thereof plus the redemption
premium, if any, and the accrued interest to such redemption date. The Escrow Holder 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 issuance
proceedings for the Refunded Bonds. 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 Refunded Bonds and the direction to the Escrow Holder
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 notice requirements of paragraph (a) of Section 53.00 of the Local
Finance Law, or any successor law thereto. It is hereby determined that with respect to the
series of Refunded Bonds to be called in and redeemed as provided in this Section 7, it is
to the financial advantage of the Village not to charge, impose and collect or receive from
registered owners of the Refunded Bonds mailing, shipping, insurance or other similar
charges in connection with such redemption or calls. Accordingly, pursuant to paragraph
(c) of Section 70.00 of the Local Finance Law, no such charges shall be so charged,
collected or received by the Chief Fiscal Officer, as fiscal agent.
Section 8. The Refunding Bonds shall be sold at a public sale using a notice of
sale, or at the election of the Village Treasurer, at a private sale by negotiation, in either
case to a purchaser (the “Purchaser”) for a purchase price to be determined by the Village
Treasurer, plus accrued interest from the date of the delivery of and payment for the
Refunding Bonds, subject to the approval of the terms and conditions of such sale by the
State Comptroller as may be required by subdivision 2 of paragraph f of Section 90.10 of
the Local Finance Law. If sold at a public sale, the Village Treasurer is hereby authorized
to conduct such public sale in accordance with the provisions of the Local Finance Law
and all other applicable statutes and regulations, and to make all final decisions with
respect to or arising out of such public sale. After the Refunding Bonds have been duly
executed, they shall be delivered by the Village Treasurer to the Purchaser in accordance
with the notice of sale or a purchase contract between the Village and the Purchaser,
which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Village Treasurer.
Section 9. The Board of Trustees of the Village hereby appoints the law firm of The
Law Offices of Jeffrey E. Storch, of New York, New York, as bond counsel in connection
with the issuance and sale of the Refunding Bonds. The Board of Trustees of the Village
hereby appoints the firm of Capital Markets Advisors, LLC of Hopewell Junction, New
York, as financial advisor in connection with the issuance and sale of the Refunding
Bonds. The Board of Trustees of the Village is hereby authorized to appoint an Escrow
Holder, as that term is referred to herein, at a future date.
Section 10. Each of the Refunding Bonds authorized by this resolution shall contain
the recital of validity prescribed by Section 52.00 of the Local Finance Law and the
Refunding Bonds shall be general obligations of the Village, payable as to both principal
and interest by a general tax upon all the taxable real property within the Village, subject to
applicable statutory limitations imposed by Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011 of the State.
Section 11. The Village Treasurer, pursuant to Sections 50.00, 90.00, 90.10 and
168.00 of the Local Finance Law, 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, including to correct or amend the documents and certificates
authorized to complete the transactions contemplated by this resolution.
Section 12. All other matters pertaining to the terms, issuance and sale of the
Refunding Bonds consistent with the provisions of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law
shall be determined by the Village Treasurer and the powers in connection therewith not
otherwise heretofore delegated thereto are hereby delegated to the Village Treasurer.
Section 13. The Village Treasurer is further authorized to take such actions and
execute such documents as may be necessary to ensure the continued status of the
interest on the Refunding Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”) and, if applicable, to designate the Refunding Bonds authorized by this resolution
as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” in accordance with Section 265 of the Code.
Section 14. For the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners from time to time
of the obligations, the Village agrees, in accordance with and as an obligated person with
respect to the obligations under, Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Rule”), to provide or
cause to be provided such financial information and operating data, financial statements
and notices, in such manner, as may be required for purposes of the Rule. In order to
describe and specify certain terms of the Village’s continuing disclosure agreement for that
purpose, and thereby to implement that agreement, including provisions for enforcement,
amendment and termination, the Village Treasurer is authorized and directed to sign and
deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Village, the commitment authorized by
subsection 6(c) of the Rule (the “Commitment”), to be placed on file with the Village Clerk,
which shall constitute the continuing disclosure agreement made by the Village for the
benefit of holders and beneficial owners of the obligations in accordance with the Rule,
with any changes or amendments that are not inconsistent with this resolution and not
substantially adverse to the Village and that are approved by the Village Treasurer on
behalf of the Village, all of which shall be conclusively evidenced by the signing of the
Commitment or amendments thereto. The agreement formed collectively by this
paragraph and the Commitment, shall be the Village’s continuing disclosure agreement for
purposes of the Rule, and its performance shall be subject to the availability of funds and
their annual appropriation to meet the costs the Village would be required to incur to
perform thereunder. The Village Treasurer is further authorized and directed to establish
procedures in order to ensure compliance by the Village with its continuing disclosure
agreement, including the timely provision of information and notices. Prior to making any
filing in accordance with the agreement or providing notice of the occurrence of any
material event, the Village Treasurer shall consult with, as appropriate, the Village Attorney
and bond counsel or other qualified independent special counsel to the Village. The
Village Treasurer, acting in the name and on behalf of the Village, shall be entitled to rely
upon any legal advice provided by such Village Attorney or bond counsel or other qualified
independent special counsel in determining whether a filing should be made.
Section 15. When this refunding bond resolution takes effect, the Village Clerk shall
cause the same, or a summary thereof, to be published together with a notice in
substantially the form prescribed by Section 81.00 of the Local Finance Law in The
Gazette, a newspaper having a general circulation in the Village. The validity of the
Refunding Bonds authorized by this bond resolution may be contested only if such
obligations are authorized for an object or purpose, or class of object or purpose, for which
the Village is not authorized to expend money, or the provisions of law which should have
been complied with as of the date of publication of this bond resolution, or such summary
thereof, were not substantially complied with, and an action, suit or proceeding contesting
such validity is commenced within twenty (20) days after the date of such publication, or if
such obligations are authorized in violation of the provisions of the Constitution of the State
of New York.
Section 16. In the absence or unavailability of the Village Treasurer, the Deputy
Village Treasurer is hereby specifically authorized to exercise the powers delegated to the
Village Treasurer.
Section 17. The Village hereby determines that the issuance of the Refunding
Bonds is a Type II action that will not have a significant effect on the environment and,
therefore, no other determination or procedures under the State Environmental Quality
Review Act (“SEQR”) are required.
Section 18. This bond resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by
the Board of Trustees of the Village.
