The amount of principal and interest due and payable as a result of a mandatory prepayment, extraordinary mandatory redemption, or optional prepayment pursuant to Sections 10(a), (b) and (c), respectively, shall be paid (i) in case the entire unpaid balance of the principal of the TIFIA Loan is to be prepaid, upon presentation and surrender of such TIFIA Bond which evidences the obligation to repay such TIFIA Loan, to the Trustee, and (ii) in case only part of the unpaid balance of principal of the 'TIFIA Loan is to be prepaid, the TIFIA Lender may make

Maximum Principal Amount:
[I] THE CITY OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (the "Borrower") for value received, promises to pay to the United States Department of Transportation, acting by and through the Federal Highway Administrator, or its assigns (the "TIFIA Lender" and "Registered Owner"), the lesser of (x) the Maximum Principal Amount set forth above and (y) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all disbursements (the "Disbursements") made by the TIFIA Lender (such lesser amount, together with any interest that is capitalized in accordance with the provisions of the TIFIA Loan Agreement referred to below, being hereinafter referred to as the "Outstanding TIFIA Loan Balance"), together with accrued and unpaid interest (including, if applicable, interest at the TIFIA Default Rate, as defined in the TIFIA Loan Agreement) on the Outstanding TIFIA Loan Balance and all fees, costs and other amounts payable in connection therewith, all as more fully described in the below-referenced TIFIA Loan Agreement. This bond is one of a duly authorized Series of bonds of the Borrower designated "Motor Fuel Tax Revenue 'TIFIA Bonds" (the "TIFIA Bond(s)"), in the aggregate principal amount of $98,660,000 issued pursuant to the home rule powers of the Borrower and under and pursuant to the Motor Fuel Tax Revenue Bonds General Ordinance of the Borrower duly adopted on November 28, 1990, as amended from time to time (the "General Ordinance"), and a 2013 Series and Supplemental Ordinance adopted on March 13, 2013 (the "2013 Series Ordinance" and, together with the General Ordinance, the "Ordinances"). As provided in the General Ordinance, Bonds (as defined below) of the Borrower may be issued from time to time pursuant to Series Ordinances in one or more series, in various principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, and, subject to the provisions of the General Ordinance, may otherwise vary. Proceeds derived from the issuance of the TIFIA Bond(s) will be used for the purposes described in the TIFIA Loan Agreement. Each Disbursement made by the TIFIA Lender to the

Borrower pursuant to the TIFIA Loan Agreement and each prepayment made on account of the Outstanding TIFIA Loan Balance, shall be recorded by or on behalf of the TIFIA Lender and endorsed on the grid attached hereto as Appendix One in accordance with the terms of the TIFIA Loan Agreement, which is hereby made a part hereof. The principal hereof shall be payable in the manner and at the place provided in the TIFIA Loan Agreement in accordance with Appendix Two, as revised from time to time in accordance with the TIFIA Loan Agreement, until paid in full. Such Appendix Two shall be revised or completed by or on behalf of the TIFIA Lender in accordance with the terms of the TIFIA Loan Agreement. Payments hereon are to be made in accordance with Sections 9 and 10 of the TIFIA Loan Agreement as the same become due. Principal of and interest on this TIFIA Bond shall be paid in funds available on or before the due date and in any lawful coin or currency of the United States of America which at the date of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
[2] The TIFIA Bond has been executed under and pursuant to a TIFIA Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the TIFIA Lender and the Borrower (the "TIFIA Loan Agreement") and is issued to evidence the obligation of the Borrower under the TIFIA Loan Agreement to repay the loan made by the TIFIA Lender and any other payments of any kind required to be paid by the Borrower under the TIFIA Loan Agreement or the other TIFIA Loan Documents referred to therein. Reference is made to the TIFIA Loan Agreement for all details relating to the Borrower's obligations hereunder. All capitalized terms used in this bond and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the TIFIA Loan Agreement and the Ordinances, as applicable.
[3] The TIFIA Bond is issued in fully registered form in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000. Subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Ordinances, TIFIA Bond in fully registered form may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of TIFIA Bonds in fully registered form of other Authorized Denominations.
[4] The interest payable on this TIFIA Bond on each interest payment date (computed on the outstanding TIFIA Loan Balance from time-to-time on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as appropriate, for the actual number of days elapsed) will be paid to the person in whose name this TIFIA Bond is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month next preceding the interest payment date. The principal of and redemption price, if any, of and interest on this TIFIA Bond (and the interest payable on any redemption of this TIFIA Bond other than on an interest payment date) are payable in the manner and at the place provided in the TIFIA Loan Agreement.
[5] This TIFIA Bond shall be subject to mandatory prepayment and extraordinary mandatory redemption in accordance with the TIFIA Loan Agreement.
This TIFIA Bond shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Borrower in whole or in part (and, if in part, the principal installments and amounts thereof to be redeemed are to be determined in accordance with the TIFIA Loan Agreement); provided, however, such redemption shall be at such premium and in such amounts as provided in the TIFIA Loan Agreement.

[6] This TIFIA Bond is a legal, valid and binding limited obligation of the Borrower payable solely from Motor Fuel Tax Revenues which lawfully may be used for the purpose of payment of Municipal Indebtedness (as defined in the General Ordinance), certain Additional City Revenues (as defined in the 2013 Series Ordinance) or from certain other moneys and securities held by the Trustee under the Ordinances. The TIFIA Bond(s) do not constitute an indebtedness of the Borrower within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or limitation of indebtedness. Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the Borrower, the State of Illinois or any political subdivision of the State of Illinois is pledged to the payment of the principal, redemption price, or interest on the TIFIA Bond(s).
[7] The outstanding Series 1993 Bonds, the outstanding Series 2003 Bonds, the outstanding Series 2008 Bonds, and the TIFIA Bond, together with other Bonds that may be issued in the future under the General Ordinance on a parity with the TIFIA Bond (collectively, the "Bonds'"), are payable as to principal, redemption price, and interest from Motor Fuel Tax Revenues of the Borrower which lawfully may be used for the purpose of payment of Municipal Indebtedness, from certain Additional City Revenues or from certain other moneys and securities held by the Trustee under the Ordinances.

Reference is made to the Financing Documents for other covenants and declarations of the Borrower and other terms and conditions upon which this TIFIA Bond has been issued, which terms and conditions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if fully set forth herein. The Borrower unconditionally covenants that it will keep and perform all of the covenants ofthis TIFIA Bond and the Financing Documents.
[8] Pursuant to the General Ordinance, the Borrower has established a Debt Service Fund and Debt Service Reserve Fund with respect to Bonds issued under the General Ordinance. The Borrower has established a TIFIA Bond(s) Account in the Debt Service Fund, which is to be used for paying the principal of and interest on the TIFIA Bond. The Borrower has established a TIFIA Debt Service Reserve Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund for the sole benefit of the holders of the TIFIA Bond.
[9] The Borrower has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders from time to time of Bonds all Motor Fuel Tax Revenues received by the Borrower that are to be collected by the Illinois Department of Revenue that may lawfully be used for the payment of Municipal Indebtedness, as well as Additional City Revenues. For the benefit of the holders of Bonds, the Borrower has pledged, assigned and granted to the Trustee a first lien on and first security interest in all Motor Fuel Tax Revenues and Additional City Revenues received that lawfully may be so used for payment in full of principal and redemption price of, and interest on all such Bonds, as such amounts become due and payable, whether by the terms of such Bonds or as provided in the General Ordinance or the Series Ordinance applicable to such Bonds or, in the case of the TIFIA Bond, the TIFIA Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Ordinances and the TIFIA

Loan Agreement, the Borrower has provided for deposit requirements in the TIFIA Bond(s) Account of the Debt Service Fund and the TIFIA Debt Service Reserve Account of the Debt Service Reserve Fund.
[10] This TIFIA Bond is transferable, as provided in the Ordinances, only upon the books of the Borrower kept for that purpose at the designated corporate trust office of the Trustee in Chicago, Illinois, by the registered owner of this TIFIA Bond in person, or by the owner's agent duly authorized in writing. Upon the surrender of this TIFIA Bond, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the registered owner or the owner's agent authorized in writing, and upon the payment of any charges prescribed in the Ordinances, a new registered TIFIA Bond, in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, shall be issued to the transferee as provided in the Ordinances. The City and the Trustee may deem and treat the registered owner as the absolute owner of this TIFIA Bond (whether or not this TIFIA Bond shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of principal of this TIFIA Bond and the redemption price, if any, and interest due on this TIFIA Bond and for all other purposes, and neither the City nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the City nor the Trustee shall be obligated to make any exchange or transfer of this TIFIA Bond during the period from any record date to the next interest payment date on the TIFIA Bonds or to make any such transfer or exchange of this TIFIA Bond if this TIFIA Bond is proposed to be redeemed after its selection by the Trustee for redemption.
[11] Any delay on the part of the TIFIA Lender in exercising any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, and any waiver granted with respect to one default shall not operate as a waiver in the event of any subsequent default.
[12] It is certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions, and things required by law to exist, to have happened, and to have been performed precedent to and in connection with the issuance of this TIFIA Bond, did exist, have happened, and have been performed in due time, form, and manner as required by law. This TIFIA Bond is issued with the intent that the federal laws of the United States of America shall govern its construction to the extent such federal laws are applicable and the internal laws of the State of Illinois shall govern its construction to the extent such federal laws are not applicable.
[13] This TIFIA Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been signed manually by the Trustee.

REQUISITION PROCEDURES
This Exhibit D sets out the procedures which the Borrower agrees to follow in submitting Requisitions for the disbursement of TIFIA Loan proceeds to pay directly for, or reimburse the Borrower for, Eligible Project Costs incurred in connection with the Project. Section 1 sets out the manner in which Requisitions are to be submitted and reviewed. Sections 2 through 4 set out the circumstances in which the TIFIA Lender may reject or correct Requisitions submitted by the Borrower or withhold a disbursement. The Borrower expressly agrees to the terms hereof, and further agrees that (i) the rights of the TIFIA Lender contained herein are in addition to (and not in lieu of) any other rights or remedies available to the TIFIA Lender under the TIFIA Loan Agreement, and (ii) nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the rights of the TIFIA Lender to take actions including, but not limited to, administrative enforcement action and actions for breach of contract against the Borrower if it fails to carry out its obligations under the TIFIA Loan Agreement during the term thereof.
Section 1. General Requirements. All requests by the Borrower for the disbursement of TIFIA Loan proceeds shall be made by electronic mail or overnight delivery service by submission to the TIFIA Lender, in accordance with Section 35 of the Agreement, of a Requisition, in form and substance satisfactory to the TIFIA Lender and completed and executed by a duly authorized representative of the Borrower. The form of Requisition is attached as Appendix One to this Exhibit D. Supporting documentation should be submitted with the requisition.
The TIFIA Lender agrees to promptly send to the Borrower in accordance with Section 35 of the Agreement, an acknowledgement of receipt of each Requisition in the form attached as Appendix Two to this Exhibit D setting forth the date of receipt by the TIFIA Lender of such Requisition and setting forth the Business Day on which disbursement will be made absent denial by the TIFIA Lender. All disbursement requests must be received by the TIFIA Lender at or before 5:00 P.M. (EST) on or before the 15th day of the month preceding such month for which a disbursement is requested, or the next succeeding Business Day if such 15th day is not a Business Day. If a Requisition is approved by the TIFIA Lender, the TIFIA Lender will notify the Borrower of such approval and of the amount so approved.
Section 2. Rejection. A Requisition may be rejected by the TIFIA Lender if it is:
  1. submitted without signature;
  2. submitted under signature of a Person other than a Borrower's Authorized Representative;
  3. submitted after prior disbursement of all proceeds of the TIFIA Loan; or
  4. submitted without adequate documentation of Eligible Project Costs incurred or paid. Such documentation shall include detailed invoices for costs incurred or paid.
 
D-1
 
 
 
 
PHOENIX/647206
 
 
The TIFIA Lender will notify the Borrower of any Requisition so rejected, and the reasons therefor. Any Requisition rejected for the reasons specified in (a) or (b) above must be resubmitted in proper form in order to be considered for approval. If a Requisition exceeds the balance of the TIFIA Loan proceeds remaining to be disbursed, the request will be treated as if submitted in the amount of the balance so remaining, and the TIFIA Lender will so notify the Borrower.
Section 3. Correction. A Requisition containing an apparent mathematical error will be corrected by the TIFIA Lender, after telephonic notification to the Borrower, and will thereafter be treated as if submitted in the corrected amount. The TIFIA Lender will confirm correction of the error, to the Borrower, in writing.
Section 4. Withholding. The TIFIA Lender shall be entitled to withhold approval of any pending or subsequent requests for the disbursement of TIFIA Loan proceeds if:
  1. the Borrower
    1. fails to pay any principal or interest on the TIFIA Loan when the same is due and payable; or
    2. applies TIFIA Loan proceeds for purposes other than payment of, or reimbursement for, Eligible Project Costs which have been the subject of an approved disbursement request hereunder; or
    3. knowingly takes any action, or omits to take any action, amounting to fraud or violation of any applicable federal or local criminal law, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; or
    4. An Event of Default under the TIFIA Loan Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing;
  1. the Borrower
    1. fails to construct the Project in a manner consistent with plans, specifications, engineering reports or facilities plans previously submitted to and approved by the TIFIA Lender, or with good engineering practices, where such failure prevents or materially impairs the Project from fulfilling its intended purpose, or prevents or materially impairs the ability of the TIFIA Lender to monitor compliance by the Borrower with applicable federal or local law pertaining to the Project, or with the terms and conditions of the TIFIA Loan Agreement; or
    2. fails to observe or comply with any applicable federal or local law, or any term or condition of the TIFIA Loan Agreement; or
    3. fails to deliver documentation evidencing Eligible Project Costs claimed for disbursement at the times and in the manner specified by the TIFIA Loan Agreement; and such failure continues for a period of more than thirty (30)
 
D-2
 
 
PHOENIX/647206
 
 
days following written notice from the TIFIA Lender to the Borrower, the TIFIA Lender shall be entitled to withhold, from any Requisition received after such thirty (30) day period has expired, and until such failure is cured or corrected, an amount determined by the TIFIA Lender (in its sole discretion) to be adequate for the cure or correction of such failure, which amount shall be stated in such notice; provided, that if the nature of the failure is such that it cannot reasonably be cured or corrected within such thirty (30) day period, the TIFIA Lender shall not withhold any disbursement by reason of such failure if the Borrower commences cure or correction within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently completes such cure or correction within a further reasonable time period.
The foregoing notwithstanding, if, as of the date of such notice from the TIFIA Lender, the balance of the TIFIA Loan proceeds remaining to be disbursed is less than the amount determined by the TIFIA Lender to be adequate for the cure or correction of such failure, the TIFIA Lender may immediately withhold all further disbursement of TIFIA Loan proceeds until such failure is cured or corrected within the time period specified by the preceding paragraph.

Riverwalk Project Oversight Agreement
 
 
 
/. Background and Introduction
Congress has charged the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) with administering the Federal-Aid Highway Program (FAHP) under Title 23 of the United States Code (U.S.C), and in compliance with Federal law and regulations. The City of Chicago (City) intends to secure a loan under the TIFIA program, which is established in 23 U.S.C. Section 601 through 609, and the project eligibility is based on Title 23. To access the Federal assistance under the TIFIA program, the City must implement the Wacker Drive Reconstruction project (Project) and, as a part of the Project, the Chicago Riverwalk Expansion project (Riverwalk Project) in compliance with federal law and regulations, and this agreement establishes how that will be accomplished. The following Agreement formalizes the roles and responsibilities of the FHWA and the City to address how the federal TIFIA funding will be administered on the Riverwalk Project.
 
 
 
 
 
//. Intent and Purpose of Agreement
The FHWA and the City, acting by and through its Department of Transportation ("CDOT") enter into this Agreement, effective as of June 12, 2013, for the purpose of administering the TIFIA funds to be provided to the City for the Riverwalk Project. In addition to defining the Title 23 roles and responsibilities of the FHWA and CDOT, this Agreement defines methods of oversight, control documents, and performance measures, which will be used to efficiently and effectively deliver the Riverwalk Project to be carried out by the City pursuant to this Agreement.
This Agreement provides basic policy concepts and approaches, and incorporates specific procedures and requirements to be used by the FHWA and CDOT in the delivery of the Riverwalk Project. The sequencing of specific requirements CDOT must comply with for the Riverwalk Project is listed in Appendix A, Sequencing of Certain Key Direct Recipient Requirements. Specific procedures CDOT will follow are provided in manuals, policy statements, bulletins, standards, rules and regulations, and other publications which will be listed in Appendix B, City Policies, Procedures and Standards, as they are reviewed and approved by the FHWA.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the FHWA retains overall stewardship responsibility for federal funds invested in the Project, does not preclude the FHWA's right to access and review Federal aid projects at any time, and does not replace the provisions of Title 23, U.S.C.

  1. Applicable Law
The principal statutory and regulatory basis for development, administration, and oversight of Federal-aid projects are Title 23, U.S.C, transportation and appropriations acts, and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), in particular titles 23 and 49 of the CFR. For purposes of this Agreement, and Riverwalk Project to be carried out by CDOT pursuant to the terms and conditions herein, these authorities shall apply to CDOT, and CDOT shall comply with all applicable requirements therein. In addition, CDOT shall comply with all applicable Federal law not codified in titles 23 or 49, U.S.C. and CFR including but not limited to the Clean Air Act; the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and other related environmental laws and statutes; the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970; and the Civil Rights Act of1964 and related statutes.
  1. FHWA and CDOT Roles and Responsibilities
  1. FHWA
The FHWA, in cooperation with CDOT, will provide stewardship and full oversight of the Riverwalk Project to be administered by CDOT, through general actions and concurrences in its day-to-day activities, as described in Section V, Methods of Stewardship/Oversight. Each of these activities furthers program integrity and facilitates maximum public benefit.
  1. CDOT
CDOT will be responsible for the day-to-day planning, environmental, design, right-of-way, procurement, and construction; these responsibilities include activities such as environmental field studies, design calculations, right-of-way acquisition, environmental reports, design reports, plans, specifications and engineering packages, consultant selection, construction contract advertisement, bid analysis, construction contract award with appropriate concurrences, construction contracts administration, construction materials testing, progress payments, and any other Riverwalk Project delivery duties associated with the full delivery of the Riverwalk Project progressed under the Agreement herein.
 
CDOT will also be responsible for demonstrating that it is adequately staffed and suitably equipped to undertake and complete the Riverwalk Project work, have adequate Riverwalk Project delivery systems in place, and sufficient accounting controls to properly manage such Federal funds progressed under this Agreement as described in Appendix A, Sequencing of Certain Key Direct Recipient Requirements. CDOT shall provide a full-time employed City engineer to be responsible for and in charge of the Riverwalk Project carried out pursuant to this Agreement.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
F-3
 
 
V. Methods of Stewardship/Oversight
The Federal-aid program administered by the FHWA is a procedurally based program. That is, it is the expectation of the FHWA that a recurring recipient of Federal funds establishes procedures that it will use in the development of each and every project. In this manner, a recipient's project delivery practices become predictable and are measured by the FHWA against these established procedures to determine Federal-aid eligibility. CDOT will submit procedures to the FHWA for review and approval as a condition for Federal funding. Once each procedure is approved, it will be added to Appendix B as a control document.
The FHWA will utilize the following techniques in carrying out its project specific duties when applicable:
  1. Providing technical assistance through phone calls and E-mail exchanges with CDOT personnel.
  2. Participating in project meetings with the CDOT to discuss specific planning, environmental, design, right-of-way, procurement, and/or construction issues.
  3. Reviewing draft environmental, design, Right-of-Way, procurement, and construction packages associated with the progression of the Riverwalk Project through the project development process and providing comments back to the CDOT.
  4. Issuing Riverwalk Project approvals.
  5. Conducting construction inspections and documenting the results of these inspections via. written reports.
  6. Review documentation for TIFIA reimbursement
  7. Deployment of new technologies.
 
 
VI. Control Standards
CDOT will comply with the provisions of 23 U.S.C, 23 CFR, and 49 CFR, and all other applicable federal requirements as appropriate. To the extent that Federal requirements are not inconsistent with CDOT procedures, CDOT may rely on those procedures, laws, regulations, standards, and directives to develop the Riverwalk Project. CDOT will demonstrate they have financial management systems that meet the standards contained in 49 CFR Part 18.20. CDOT will develop the Riverwalk Project in accordance with the standards and guides identified in 23 CFR Part 625, as well as other FHWA policies identified in the Federal Register, and/or CDOT policies, procedures and standards approved by the FHWA. CDOT policies, procedures and standards are provided in manuals and guidance as identified in Appendix B. Additions to Appendix B will occur as additional policies and guidance are developed, in consultation with FHWA, and implemented by CDOT.

VII. Performance Measures and Annual Report
  1. CDOT and FHWA shall jointly develop performance measures to evaluate the delivery of the Riverwalk Project to be carried out pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties shall develop the performance measures which shall be incorporated herein as Appendix C no later than \ September 20.2013   .1 Thereafter, the Parties shall develop a baseline for each of the performance measures by [ December 20. 2013   1 which shall be incorporated in Appendix C.
  2. The Parties shall prepare an annual report on the performance measures. The first report shall be due r September 19, 2014 1.
 
 
VIII. Implementation
The pertinent CDOT policies and procedures for accomplishing the intent of this Agreement will be identified, developed, reviewed, and approved on an as-needed basis. This Agreement will take effect as of the effective date stated in Section 1.
The FHWA and CDOT agree to periodic reviews of this Agreement to reflect changes in Federal or State of Illinois laws, regulations, and requirements. Changes may continually occur to the contents of the documents referenced in Appendix B, and acknowledging that policy and guidance updates developed and implemented by CDOT program areas are made in consultation with FHWA, changes to the contents of the documents in Appendix B will not require an updated Agreement. Addition and deletion of documents to Appendix B will be automatically incorporated into the signed Agreement as amendments through written correspondence between CDOT and FHWA. Other changes to the Agreement will require an updated version of the Agreement and the approval of the authorized signatories.
This agreement establishes oversight for the TIFIA funded project. Provided no conflict with federal requirements is created, the agreement does not preclude CDOT from using other sources of funding which may need to address requirements associated with the other funding sources
This Agreement shall terminate on the Substantial Completion Date for the Riverwalk Project, although after termination, the Riverwalk Project will remain subject to federal requirements defined in the CFR and TJSC

United States Department of Transportation Washington, D.C.
Amalgamated Bank of Chicago, as trustee One West Monroe Street, 3rd Floor Chicago, Illinois 60603
 
Wc have served as bond counsel in connection with the issuance of a Motor Fuel Tax Revenue TIFIA Bond (Wacker Drive Reconstruction Project including the Chicago Riverwalk Expansion: TIFIA - 2013-1004A) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $98,660,000, plus accrued interest (the 'TIFIA Bond") of the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "City"), dated June 12.2013.
We have examined a certified copy of the record of proceedings of the City, together with various accompanying certificates, pertaining to the issuance by the City of the TIFIA Bond. The record of proceedings includes the City's Motor Fuel Tax Revenue Bonds General Ordinance, adopted by the City Council of the City on November 28, 1990, as amended and supplemented (the "Original Ordinance"), including as amended and supplemented by the 2013 Series and Supplemental Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of Motor Fuel fax Revenue Bonds, 2013 Series and Motor Fuel Tax Revenue TIFIA Bond(s) and Certain Amendments to the General Ordinance, adopted by the City Council of the City on March 13, 2013 (the "2013 Series Ordinance" and, together with the Original Ordinance, the "General Ordinance"), and the related Determination Certificate (being the same as the TIFIA Loan Agreement, as defined below) executed by a duly authorized officer of the City, together providing for the issuance of the TIFIA Bond, and certificates of officers of the City, the Illinois Department of Transportation and the purchaser of the TIFIA Bond as to various factual matters. Regarding questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon such certificates without undertaking to verify the representations and certifications contained in those certificates by independent investigation.
The TIFIA Bond is issued to evidence a loan from the United States Department of Transportation (the "TIFIA Lender") to the City for the purpose of providing funds with which to pay and reimburse expenditures for Eligible Project Costs paid or incurred by the City in connection with the Project. Capitalized terms used in this opinion which are not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the General Ordinance and in the TIFIA Loan Agreement dated as of June 12, 2013 (the "TIFIA Loan Agreement"), by and between the TIFIA Lender and the City.
Based upon this examination, we are of the opinion that under existing law:
 
H-2
 
 
 
 
PHOENIX/647206
 
  1. The City had the legal right and power to adopt the General Ordinance. The General Ordinance has been duly and lawfully adopted by the City, is in full force and effect and is valid and binding upon the City. The 2013 Series Ordinance conforms to the requirements of the Original Ordinance.
  2. The TIFIA Bond is a valid and legally binding limited obligation of the City as provided in the General Ordinance and is entitled to the benefits of the General Ordinance. The TIFIA Bond has been duly and validly authorized and issued in accordance with law and is in accordance with the General Ordinance.
  3. The TIFIA Bond has been legally issued and constitutes a valid limited obligation of the City payable solely from Pledged Revenues, as provided in the General Ordinance except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the TIFIA Lender may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion.
  4. The General Ordinance establishes, for the benefit of the TIFIA Lender, as the Bondholder of the TIFIA Bond, the TIFIA Lien and such TIFIA Lien is in full force and effect and is not subordinate or junior to any other Liens in respect of the Pledged Revenues.
  5. The City has all requisite legal power and authority to conduct its activities and to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the TIFIA Bond and the General Ordinance (together, the "Financing Documents").
  6. The execution and delivery by the City of, and the performance of its respective obligations under, the Financing Documents have been duly authorized.
  7. No authorization, consent or other approval of, or registration, declaration or other filing with, any governmental authority of the United States or of the State of Illinois is required for the City to execute and deliver the Financing Documents, or perform its obligations thereunder or to be eligible to receive from the State of Illinois the Motor Fuel Tax Revenues and to deposit and use the Motor Fuel Tax Revenues as required by the General Ordinance, which has not been obtained and is in full force and effect.
  8. The execution and delivery by the City of, and compliance with the provisions of, the Financing Documents do not (i) violate the laws of the United States or the State of Illinois or (ii) to the best of our knowledge, after reasonable investigation and inquiry, conflict with or constitute a breach of or default under any material agreement or other instrument known to this firm to which the City is a party, any court order, consent decree, statute, rule, regulation or any other law to which the City presently is subject to or by which the Project or the Pledged Revenues are subject or bound to.
  9. All appropriations by the City Council of the City required for the issuance of the TIFIA Bond and the use of Pledged Revenues as required under the General Ordinance and under the TIFIA Loan Agreement have been duly and lawfully made.
 
H-3
 
 
 
 
PHOENIX/647;06
 
  1. The City has complied with the requirements of Illinois law to lawfully pledge and use Motor Fuel Tax Revenues as required by the terms of the General Ordinance and the TIFIA Loan Agreement.
  2. To the best of our knowledge after reasonable investigation and inquiry, there is no pending or proposed legislation that could have a Material Adverse Effect on the collections of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues by the State or transfer thereof to the City or the amount thereof to be received by the City.
  3. The City is not entitled to claim governmental immunity in a breach of contract action initiated by the TIFIA Lender under the TIFIA Loan Agreement or the TIFIA Bond.
  4. The rights of the TIFIA Lender to be entitled to the rights of a Bondholder for all purposes under the General Ordinance, all as set forth in Article XI of the Original Ordinance, arc valid security rights of the TIFIA Lender as provided in the General Ordinance, enforceable under State law without any further action by the City or any other party.
The rights of the holder of the TIFIA Bond and the enforceability of provisions of the TIFIA Bond and the General Ordinance may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights. Enforcement of provisions of the TIFIA Bond or the General Ordinance by an equitable or similar remedy is subject to general principles of law or equity governing such a remedy, including the exercise of judicial discretion whether to grant any particular form of relief.
This opinion is based upon facts known or certified to us and laws in effect on its date and speaks as of that date. The opinions stated in this letter are expressions of professional judgment based upon such facts and law and are not a guaranty of a result if the validity of the TIFIA Bond is challenged. Wc have not undertaken any obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may come to our attention after the date of this opinion or any changes in law that may occur after that date.
Respectfully submitted,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
This opinion is given to you in connection with the issuance by the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "City") of its Motor Fuel Tax Revenue TIFIA Bond (Chicago Riverwalk Expansion Project: TIFIA - 20I3-I004A) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $98,660,000, plus accrued interest (the "TIFIA Bond") of the City of Chicago, Illinois (the "City"), dated June 12, 2013 which is being issued pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the City Council of the City on November 28, 1990, as amended and supplemented, including as amended and supplemented by the 2013 Series and Supplemental Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of Motor Fuel Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2013 and Motor Fuel Tax Revenue TIFIA Bond(s) and Certain Amendments to the General Ordinance, adopted by the City Council of the City on March 13, 2013 (collectively, the "General Ordinance"), and the related TIFIA Determination Certificate executed by a duly authorized officer of the City.
 
The TIFIA Bond is issued to evidence a loan from the United States Department of Transportation (the "TIFIA Lender") to the City, for the purpose of providing funds with which to pay or reimburse expenditures for Eligible Project Costs paid or incurred by the City in connection with the Project. All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the General Ordinance and the TIFIA Loan Agreement dated June 12, 2013 (the "TIFIA Loan Agreement"), by and between the City and the TIFIA Lender.
 
In connection with the issuance of the TIFIA Bond, I have caused to be examined a certified copy of the record of proceedings of the City Council of the City pertaining to the issuance of the TIFIA Bond by the City, a certified copy of the General Ordinance and executed counterparts of the following documents:
  1. the TIFIA Loan Agreement;
  2. the TIFIA Bond;
  3. the Principal Project Contracts that have been executed (the "Principal Project Documents");
 
H-5
 
 
 
PHOENIX/647206
 
 
(d)     the License Agreements; and
 
(e)     such other documents and records as were deemed necessary to enable me to render this opinion.
 
On the basis of such examination and review of such other information, records and documents as was deemed necessary or advisable, I am of the opinion that:
  1. The City is a home rule unit of local government duly organized and existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of Illinois with full legal power and authority, among other things, to adopt the General Ordinance, to authorize, issue and deliver the TIFIA Bond and to execute the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Principal Project Documents and the License Agreements and to perform its obligations thereunder.
  2. The TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Principal Project Documents and the License Agreements have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and the General Ordinance have been duly adopted by, the City, and assuming the due execution and delivery by the other parties thereto as appropriate, such instruments constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the City, in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors' rights or remedies and the availability of equitable remedies generally.
  3. Compliance with the provisions of the TIFIA Bond, the General Ordinance, the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Principal Project Documents and the License Agreements does not conflict in a material manner with, or constitute a material breach of, or material default (with due notice or passage of time or both) under, any applicable law, administrative regulation, court order or consent decree of the State of Illinois or any department, division, agency, or instrumentality thereof or of the United States or any ordinance, agreement or other instrument to which the City is a party or is otherwise subject or by which the Project or the Pledged Revenues are subject or bound.
  4. All approvals, consents and orders of and filings with (except, if any, with respect to state "blue sky" laws or securities laws) any Governmental Authority, board, agency or commission having jurisdiction which would constitute conditions precedent to the performance by the City of its obligations under the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the General Ordinance, the Principal Project Documents, the License Agreements and the TIFIA Bond, or to operate and use the Project, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
  5. There is no litigation or proceeding pending, or to my knowledge after reasonable investigation and inquiry, threatened, materially affecting the City with respect to the Project or the Pledged Revenues, or seeking to restrain or enjoin the issuance
 
H-6
 
 
 
PIIOKNIX/647206
 
 
or delivery of the TIFIA Bond, or contesting the validity or enforceability of the TIFIA Bond, the General Ordinance, the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Principal Project Documents or the License Agreements, or contesting the powers of the City or its authority with respect to the TIFIA Bonds, the General Ordinance, the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Principal Project Documents or the License Agreements.
  1. To my knowledge after reasonable investigation and inquiry, there is no pending or proposed legislation that could have a Material Adverse Effect on the collections of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues by the State or transfer thereof to the City or the amount thereof to be received by the City.
  2. All funds comprising the Pledged Revenues have been lawfully appropriated by the City for the uses authorized under the General Ordinance and the TIFIA Loan Agreement.
  3. To my knowledge after reasonable investigation and inquiry, the City is not in breach or default, nor has any event occurred or condition exist which with due notice or passage of time or both could constitute a default, under the General Ordinance, the TIFIA Loan Agreement or the TIFIA Bond.
 
The statements contained herein are made in an official capacity as Corporation Counsel of the City and not personally and no personal responsibility shall derive from them. Furthermore, the only opinions that are expressed are the opinions specifically set forth herein, and no opinion is implied or should be inferred as to any other matter or transaction.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such terms in the General Ordinance.
PLEDGE OF SECURITY
Section 204 of the General Ordinance provides that, for the benefit of the registered owners from, time to time of any Bonds, the Borrower pledges, assigns and grants to the Trustee a first lien on and first security interest in all Motor Fuel Tax Revenues which may lawfully be used to pay Municipal Indebtedness and certain other moneys and securities held by the Trustee under the General Ordinance for payment in full of the principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds, as such amounts become due and payable. Under current State law, the Use of Motor Fuel Tax Funds Act requires that twenty-five percent of the Motor Fuel Tax Revenues received by the Borrower in each year be expended solely for reconstruction, maintenance, repair or improvement of the Borrower's non-arterial residential streets. Consequently, under current State law, twenty-five percent of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues received by the Borrower in any year will be unavailable to pay Municipal Indebtedness, including the TIFIA Bond. The amount of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues available from year to year is subject to annual appropriation by the Illinois General Assembly.
In addition to the pledge of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues as described above, the 2013 Series Ordinance amended Section 204 of the General Ordinance to allow for the pledge of Additional City Revenues pursuant to any Series Ordinance. Under Section 103(1) of the 2013 Series Ordinance, the Borrower has pledged, assigned and granted to the Trustee a first lien on and first security interest in all Additional City Revenues held by the Trustee under the 2013 Series Ordinance for the payment in full of the principal, Redemption and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds, as such amounts become due and payable.
As such, registered owners of any Bonds issued and Outstanding under the General Ordinance have a claim for payment of principal, Redemption and Purchase Price, if any, of and interest on such Bonds solely from (i) Additional City Revenues, (ii) Motor Fuel Tax Revenues which may lawfully be used by the Borrower to pay Municipal Indebtedness, and (iii) certain other moneys and securities held by the Trustee pursuant to the General Ordinance.
FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS
Section 601 of the General Ordinance establishes an Additional City Revenues Fund to be maintained by the Trustee and, while the TIFIA Bond is Outstanding, requires the Borrower to pay to the Trustee for deposit therein all Additional City Revenues received by the Borrower. Section 601 of the General Ordinance also establishes a Motor Fuel Tax Revenue Fund to be maintained by the Trustee and, while any Bonds are Outstanding, requires the Borrower to pay to the Trustee for deposit therein all Motor Fuel Tax Revenues received by the Borrower.
Section 602 of the General Ordinance creates a Debt Service Fund to be maintained by the Trustee and used to pay the debt service on Bonds. Separate accounts in the Debt Service Fund are required to be established for each Series of Bonds. Section 603 of the 2013 Series Ordinance establishes a TIFIA Bonds Account in the Debt Service Fund for the TIFIA Bond.

Section 606 of the General Ordinance establishes a Debt Service Reserve Fund to be maintained by the Trustee as additional security for Bonds issued under the General Ordinance and permits the Borrower to establish a separate account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund for each Series of Bonds. Section 605 of the 2013 Series Ordinance establishes a TIFIA Debt Service Reserve Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund for the TIFIA Bond. In connection with the issuance of any Series of Bonds, Section 604(6) of the General Ordinance requires an amount of funds to be deposited in the Debt Service Reserve Account for any such Series in an amount not less than the Reserve Requirement for such Series. The Reserve Requirement is the amount, if any, provided in the related Series Ordinance. The Reserve Requirement for the TIFIA Bond will be funded in the amount and at the time as set forth in Section 15(n) of this Agreement. If any Series of Bonds is secured by amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund in an account relating to such Series of Bonds, such amounts secure only that Series of Bonds, and do not secure, and are not be available to pay the principal and interest on any other Bonds.
Section 603 of the General Ordinance establishes in the Debt Service Fund a separate Rebate Account with respect to each Series of Bonds that are issued as tax-exempt. Section 604(6) of the General Ordinance requires that there be deposited in the Debt Service Fund to the credit of the Rebate Accounts, after there are no deficiencies in any of the other accounts in the Debt Service Fund or the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the amounts as shall be required to be held available for rebate to the United States of America with respect to each such Series of Bonds. Amounts on deposit in the Rebate Account for any Series of Bonds do not secure the Bonds.
Pursuant to Section 601 of the General Ordinance, upon receipt of Additional City Revenues, the Trustee is required to deposit monthly into the Debt Service Fund such amounts from the Additional City Revenues Fund as provided for in the General Ordinance. Under Section 604(6) of the General Ordinance, any amounts of Additional City Revenues in the Debt Service Fund in excess of the required deposits (other than in any Rebate Accounts created under it) are required to be transferred to the Debt Service Reserve Fund each month until the amount in each Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund equals the Reserve Requirement for such Account. After that, any remaining amounts of available Additional City Revenues are used to make, to the extent required, deposits into the Rebate Accounts. After the deposits to the Rebate Accounts have been made, if there remains any excess amount of available Additional City Revenues, such excess Additional City Revenues are then paid by the Trustee to the Borrower, or upon the Borrower's direction.
Once the Trustee has applied all of the Additional City Revenues as described above, if the Additional City Revenues are not sufficient to make all of the required deposits, the Trustee is required, pursuant to Section 602 of the General Ordinance, to deposit all amounts in the Motor Fuel Revenue Fund to the credit of the Debt Service Fund in order to make up any deficiency in the monthly deposit requirements for each Series of Outstanding Bonds, including the TIFIA Bond. As was the case with the Additional City Revenues, under Section 604(6) of the General Ordinance, any amounts of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues in the Debt Service Fund in excess of the required deposits (other than in any Rebate Accounts created under it) are required to be transferred to the Debt Service Reserve Fund each month until the amount in each Account in the Debt Service Reserve Fund equals the Reserve Requirement for such Account. After that, any remaining amounts of available Motor Fuel Tax Revenues are used to make, to the extent

required, deposits into the Rebate Accounts. After the deposits to the Rebate Accounts, excess amounts of Motor Fuel Tax Revenues, if any, are then paid by the Trustee to the Borrower, or upon the Borrower's direction.
As noted above, any excess Additional City Revenues and/or Motor Fuel fax Revenues which remain after all of the monthly deposits that are required to be made by the Trustee to the Funds and Accounts described above will be paid by the Trustee to the Borrower, or at the Borrower's direction, and be available for any lawful purpose.
Notwithstanding the Borrower's ability to expend such excess Additional City Revenues and/or Motor Fuel Tax Revenues for any lawful purpose, while the TIFIA Bond is Outstanding, the Borrower will apply such excess Additional City Revenues and/or Motor Fuel Tax Revenues to the prepayment/redemption of the TIFIA Bond as follows: First, the Borrower will be required to make a mandatory prepayment of the TIFIA Bond in an amount equal to the Additional City Revenues received minus the amount necessary to make all required debt service payments on the TIFIA Bond. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain non-payment type defaults as set forth in Section 18(a)(3) of the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Borrower is required to effect an extraordinary mandatory redemption of the TIFIA Bond and pay all amounts owed under the TIFIA Loan Agreement from excess Additional City Revenues and/or Motor Fuel Tax Revenues.
Upon the payment, prepayment or redemption (whether optional, mandatory or extraordinary mandatory redemption) of the TIFIA Bond in full, and the repayment of any other amounts owed under the TIFIA Loan Agreement, the Additional City Revenues will no longer be pledged for the payment of the Bonds.
