INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT Dated as of March 25, 1991 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT THIS INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT (the "Co- operation Agreement") dated as of March 25, 1991, by and among the home rule units of government duly organized and validly existing under the Constitution and the laws of the State of Illinois which have executed this Cooperation Agreement (each such home rule unit of government being referred to herein as a "Municipality" and all such home rule units of government being collectively referred to as the "Municipalities"); WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Section 10 of Article VII of the Constitution of the State of Illinois authorizes units of local government and school districts to contract or otherwise associate among themselves in any manner not prohibited by law or by ordinances, and to use their credit, revenues and other reserves to pay cash and to service debt related to intergovernmental activities; and WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act (Illinois Revised Statutes 1989, Chapter 127, Paragraph 741 et seq., as supplemented and amended) au- thorizes public agencies to exercise jointly with any other public agency in the State of Illinois any power, privilege or authority which may be exercised by such public agency individually; and WHEREAS, the Municipalities are each a unit of local government and a public agency of the State of Illinois; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Constitution of the State of Illinois, and particularly Article VII, Section 6(a) of the 1970 Constitution of the State of Illinois, Each Municipality has the power to issue its revenue bonds (the "Mortgage Revenue Bonds") for public purposes including the financing and purchase of mortgage loans or interests therein to finance the cost of residences for low and moderate income persons within its corporate boundaries, and to pledge to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such revenue bonds the payments made with respect to the mortgage loans purchased with and financed by the proceeds of such revenue bonds; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 146 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") bonds issued for the purposes described in the preceding paragraph may not be issued on a tax-exempt basis unless the aggregate principal amount of such bonds issued by any issuer is within such issuer's "volume cap" for the calendar year; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 146 of the Code and the relevant provisions of the Illinois Private Activity Bond Allocation Act (the "Bond Allocation Act") prior to a specified date each year, the "volume cap" of each Municipality is limited to a specified amount based on the most recent Bureau of the Census population estimate released prior to January 1 of that calendar year; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Bond Allocation Act and the current Guidelines and Procedures issued thereunder (the "Guidelines"), each Municipality may reallocate its volume cap to another Municipality; and WHEREAS, the Municipalities hereby find and determine that they cannot individually access the capital markets on favorable terms through the issuance of tax- exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds due to the limitations on the aggregate principal amount of such bonds which may be issued under each Municipality's "volume cap" au- thority; and WHEREAS, the Municipalities hereby find and determine that the pooling of all of the "volume cap" authority of each of the Municipalities for 1991 and the re- allocation of all of such authority to a single Municipality would permit that Municipality to issue tax-exempt Mortgage Revenue Bonds to finance owner-occupied residences for persons and families qualifying under Section 143 of the Code within the corporate boundaries of all of the Municipalities in an aggregate principal amount of sufficient size to adequately access the capital markets at favorable interest rates; and WHEREAS, to accomplish the foregoing, the Municipalities propose to reallocate their 1991 "volume cap" to the City of DeKalb, Illinois ("the Issuer") and the Issuer proposes to issue, sell and deliver its Illinois Home Rule Units Single Family Mort- gage Revenue Bonds, Series 1991 (the "Bonds") in order to obtain funds to finance the cost of owner-occupied residences for persons and families qualifying under Section 143 of the Code within the corporate boundaries of each of the Municipalities. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Municipalities hereby agree as follows: SECTION 1. Representations. Each Municipality represents as follows: (a) The Municipality (1) is a home rule unit of government and either a municipal corporation or county duly organized and existing under the laws of the State, (2) has full power and authority to enter into this Cooperation Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder and (3) by proper corporate action has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Cooperation Agreement. (b) Neither the execution and delivery by the Municipality of this Coopera- tion Agreement nor the consummation by the Municipality of the transactions contemplated hereby conflicts with, will result in a breach of or default under or will result in the imposition of any lien on any property of the Municipality pursuant to the terms, conditions or provisions of any statute, order, rule, regulation, Agreement or instrument to which the Municipality is a party or by which it is bound. (c) This Cooperation Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Municipality and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Municipality enforceable against the Municipality in accordance with its terms. (d) There is no litigation or proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of the Municipality threatened, against the Municipality, or to the knowledge of the Municipality affecting it, which would adversely affect the validity of this Co- operation Agreement or the ability of the Municipality to comply with its obliga- tions thereunder. (e) The population of the Municipality as set forth in the most recent census estimate released by the United States Bureau of Census prior to January 1, 1991 is as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Exhibit A further sets forth the Municipality's volume cap for calendar year 1991. -2- • (f) As of the effective date of this Cooperation Agreement with respect to each Municipality, the Municipality has not taken any action which would have the effect of using or authorizing the use of all or any portion of its 1991 volume cap pursuant to any (1) issuance of any "private activity bonds" (within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code), (2) election not to issue qualified mortgage bonds in order to issue mortgage credit certificates (as defined in the Code), (3) reallocation of any of its "volume cap" to any other entity, (4) carry forward to future years of any of its "volume cap", or (5) other action. (g) As of the effective date of this Cooperation Agreement, the "targeted areas", within the meaning of Section 143(j) of the Code (consisting of "qualified census tracts" and "areas of chronic economic distress" as described in Section 143(j)(2) and (3) of the Code), within the Municipality are as set forth in Exhibit B hereto. (h) On or prior to the effective date of this Cooperation Agreement with respect to each Municipality, the governing body of the Municipality conducted a public hearing with respect to the proposed issuance of the Bonds in conformance with the requirements of Section 147(f) of the Code. At such public hearing, all residents, taxpayers and other interested persons were given the opportunity to express their views with respect to the proposed issuance of the Bonds. Notice of such public hearing was duly published in a newspaper of general circulation in the Municipality at least 14 days prior to the date of such public hearing. The Mayor or President, as the case may be, or the governing body of the Municipality, as an "applicable elected representative" of the Municipality pursuant to Section 147(f) of the Code, has approved the issuance of the Bonds pursuant to said Section on or prior to the effective date of this Cooperation Agreement with respect to such Municipality. SECTION 2. Reallocation of Volume Cap. Each Municipality hereby agrees that, immediately upon the effectiveness of this Cooperation Agreement, it will re- allocate all of its 1991 volume cap as set forth in Exhibit A hereto to the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the requirements of the Bond Allocation Act and the Guide- lines in order that the Issuer may use its best efforts to issue the Bonds for the purposes set forth in Section 3 below. SECTION 3. Issuance of Bonds. The Issuer hereby agrees that it will use its best efforts to issue the Bonds in an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of its own 1991 volume cap set forth on Exhibit A hereto plus all volume cap reallocated to it pursuant to Section 2 above. The Bonds shall be issued solely for the purpose of fi- nancing mortgage loans for one to two family residences located within the corporate boundaries of the Municipalities for persons and families qualifying under Section 143 of the Code. The Bonds shall be issued in such series and classes, shall have such stated maturity or maturities, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity, shall be payable at such time or times and at such place or places, and shall have such other terms, all as shall be approved by ordinance of the governing body of the Issuer or specified in the trust indenture under which the Bonds are issued. The Issuer has complete discretion, as the issuer of the Bonds, to select the trustee, the master servicer, if any, and a compliance agent, if any, to serve in such capacities in connection with the Bonds. The proceeds of the Bonds may be used to finance mortgage loans or the acquisition of interests therein, as described above, to -3- fund reserves for the payment of debt service on the Bonds, to pay interest or debt service on the Bonds, to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds or for such other purposes related to the Bonds or the mortgage loans to be financed thereby as the Issuer deems necessary or desirable. Similarly the Issuer has complete discretion, as the issuer of the Bonds, to invest proceeds of the Bonds (pursuant to a guaranteed investment contract or otherwise), and to establish fees and compensation of the entities serving in capacities established in connection with the Bonds and the ongoing mortgage program established thereby. SECTION 4. Security for Bonds. The Bonds shall be limited obligations of the Issuer, secured solely by mortgage loans financed with Bond proceeds, by interests therein evidenced by obligations of the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or by obligations of lenders who will originate qualifying mortgage loans under the program, all as the Issuer, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Bonds may be supported by municipal bond insurance policies, letters of credit or other forms of credit enhancement as the Issuer shall determine. Under no circumstances shall the Bonds be a general obligation of the Issuer or of any Municipality nor shall they constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or any Municipality or a charge against the general credit or taxing power of the Issuer or any Municipality. SECTION 5. Restrictions on Allocation of Mortgage Loans. The documents under which the Bonds are issued (the "Bond Documents") shall provide that during an initial period commencing on the date of issuance of the Bonds and ending on December 31, 1991 (the "Municipal Reservation Period"), a pro rata share of the initial amount made available to finance mortgage loans or interests therein shall be reserved solely for the financing of mortgage loans for residences located within the corporate limits of each of the Municipalities, subject only to federal requirements under Section 143 of the Code (such as the "targeted area" requirements of Section 143(i) and (j) of the Code). Such pro rata share for any given Municipality shall approximately equal the amount of volume cap contributed by such Municipality to the issue divided by the initial aggregate principal amount of the Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Municipality may direct the Issuer to waive or relax the requirements of the preceding two sentences with respect to such Municipality by delivery of a written certificate signed by the Mayor, President or other authorized officer of the Municipality to that effect. After the Municipal Reservation Period, the Bond Documents may provide that Bond proceeds available to finance mortgage loans be used to finance loans originated on a first-come, first-served basis, without regard for location of the residence, subject only to federal requirements under Section 143 of the Code (such as "targeted area" requirements) which must be observed to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Bonds, and other reservations (such as reservations for builders and real estate brokers) which may be desirable in marketing the program. SECTION 6. Participating Lenders. The Bond Documents shall provide that during at least the Municipal Reservation Period, for every Municipality, there shall have been selected and be in place at least one participating lender who has agreed to use reasonable efforts to originate mortgage loans financed under the program within the corporate limits of that Municipality. SECTION 7. Appointment of Professionals. George K. Baum & Company shall serve as underwriter or placement agent for the Bonds. Chapman and Cutler shall serve as bond counsel in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. -4- SECTION 8. Failure to Issue Bonds. The Issuer agrees to use its best dfforts to issue Bonds for the purposes described herein in a timely manner, such that the 1991 volume cap of the Municipalities is not automatically ceded to the Governor's Office of the State of Illinois under the Bond Allocation Act and the Guidelines. All of the Municipalities acknowledge and agree that market conditions or other factors could make it impossible, uneconomic or undesirable for the Bonds to be issued and, accord- ingly, the Issuer will not be subject to any liability to the other parties hereto if Bonds are not issued. The Issuer will endeavor to keep the other Municipalities informed as to the ongoing status of the preparations for issuance of the Bonds. SECTION 9. Documents, Instruments and Opinions. Each Municipality agrees to enter into all such documents and instruments as shall be necessary or appro- priate in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, including without limitation closing certificates, disclosure representations, and all such other documents and instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Each Municipality acknowledges that it has caused its municipal attorney to review this Co- operation Agreement in order that he or she may render an opinion regarding its enforce- ability and related matters. SECTION 10. Absolute and Irrevocable Conditions; Amendment. All terms and conditions contained herein are intended to be absolute and irrevocable conditions hereof and are agreed to by the Municipalities. This Cooperation Agreement may not be effectively amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated without the written consent of all of the Municipalities, authorized by ordinances or resolutions adopted by their respective governing bodies; provided that after the issuance of the Bonds no such amendment shall adversely affect the interests of the owners of the Bonds. SECTION 11. Obligations Unconditional. The Municipalities shall have no right to terminate, cancel or rescind this Cooperation Agreement, it being the intent hereof that, subject to the following paragraph, each Municipality shall be absolutely and unconditionally obligated to perform all covenants contained in this Cooperation Agree- ment from and after the effective date hereof with respect to such Municipality. If the Issuer and its professional consultants are unable to obtain the commitments of participating lenders to originate mortgage loans in a given Municipality such that the requirements of Sections 5 and 6 hereof may be satisfied with respect to that Municipality, the Issuer shall take such lawful steps as are necessary to reallocate to such Municipality all or a portion, as the case may be, of its 1991 volume cap and, in the event of total reallocation to such Municipality, such Municipality shall no longer be a participant in the program established hereby or bound by the provisions of this Cooperation Agreement. SECTION 12. Notices. All notices, certificates or other communications hereunder shall be sufficiently given and shall be deemed given when delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the appropriate address set forth in Exhibit C hereto. A duplicate copy of each notice, certificate or other communication given hereunder to any Municipality shall also be given to the others. Any Municipality, by notice given hereunder, may designate a different or further address to which subsequent notices, certificates or other communications will be sent. SECTION 13. Binding Effect. This Cooperation Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Municipalities and their respective successors and assigns. -5- The Municipalities initially executing and delivering this Cooperation Agreement on or prior to March 25, 1991 acknowledge and agree that additional Illinois home rule units of government may execute and deliver this Cooperation Agreement after such date (but prior to the date that the Issuer enters into a purchase contract for the sale of the Bonds) and that this Cooperation Agreement shall be binding against such parties as if they had executed and delivered this Cooperation Agreement with the initial participating group of Municipalities. SECTION 14. Non-Discrimination. No person shall be illegally excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of the program which is the subject of this Cooperation Agreement on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, age, disability, handicapped status or national origin.

SECTION 15. Compliance with Laws. In performing any actions under this Cooperation Agreement, each Municipality shall comply with any and all applicable Federal and state statutes, rules and regulations and any and all ordinances and regulations of the Municipality pertaining to or regulating the provision of such actions, including those now in effect, or hereafter adopted and applicable hereto. SECTION 16. Assignability. No Municipality may assign or transfer any or all of its interest, duties or authority under this Cooperation Agreement. This Section 16 shall not be a limitation on the provisions of this Cooperation Agreement requiring reallocation of volume cap. SECTION 17. Access to Records. The Issuer shall permit each Municipality, or its authorized agent(s), access during normal business hours to the records of the Issurer as the Municipality shall deem necessary so as to verify the nature and scope of the actions being taken under this Cooperation Agreement as well as the status of the program described herein, but said authority shall not grant a right to inspect any records which are unrelated to the matters contemplated by this Cooperation Agreement. The Issuer shall cause the Trustee to maintain complete and accurate records with respect to the Bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof for the purposes contemplated by this Cooperation Agreement, which records shall be readily accessible for inspection and copying by officials of any Municipality. The Issuer shall cause the Trustee to provide open access free of charge to officials of any Municipality to such data and records. SECTION 18. Authority to Sign.

Severability. In the event any provision of this Cooperation Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Cooperation Agreement. SECTION 21. Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments. The Municipalities agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further instruments as may reasonably be required for carrying out the expressed intention of this Cooperation Agreement.

This Cooperation Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counter- part shall be an original and all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
