Section 4. The financial plans for the refunding authorized by this resolution (collectively, 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 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 $7,795,000 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, whether federally taxable or tax-exempt, 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, whether federally taxable or tax-exempt, 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 Sections 90.00 and 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, subject to applicable statutory limitations imposed by Chapter 97 of the Laws of 2011 of the State, as the same become due and payable,. 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 Great Neck, 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.

All other matters pertaining to the terms, issuance and sale of the Refunding Bonds consistent with the provisions of Sections 90.00 and 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, if applicable, 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.

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.
