10        (1) The issuance and sale of Bonds pursuant to this Act
11    is an economical and efficient method of providing

17    time to time with varying terms, features, and conditions
18    in order to enhance marketability and lower interest costs
19    incurred by the State. Subsection (a) of Section 6 of this
20    Act authorizes the sale and issuance, from time to time, of
21    Bonds in one or more series, in such principal amounts,
22    bearing interest at such fixed rates or variable rates, and

24    officers may fix and determine pursuant to the authority
25    delegated under this Act. Subsection (b) of Section 6 of

 

 

SB2218- 3 -LRB100 12689 HLH 27541 b

4    liquidity enhancement arrangements with financial
5    institutions, and participation in interest rate swaps or
6    guarantee agreements or other arrangements to limit
7    interest rate risk.
8        (3) The State's ability to issue Bonds from time to
9    time, without further action by the General Assembly, in
10    separate series, in various principal amounts and with
11    various interest rates, maturities, redemption provisions
12    and other terms will enhance the State's opportunities to
13    obtain such financing as needed, upon favorable terms.

15Bond Sale Order (hereinafter defined), and all as more
16particularly described in Section 11 of this Act, Bonds
17authorized pursuant to Section 2 of this Act shall be issued

17Forecasting and Accountability within 20 business days after

2directly or indirectly, to any third party for having promoted

SB2218- 7 -LRB100 12689 HLH 27541 b

1at such rate or rates, fixed or variable, and be dated as shall
2be fixed and determined by the Director in an order authorizing
3the issuance and sale of any series of bonds, which order shall
4be approved by the Governor and is referred to in this Act as a
5"Bond Sale Order"; provided, however, that interest payable at
6fixed rates shall not exceed that permitted in the Bond
7Authorization Act, as now or hereafter amended, and interest
8payable at variable rates shall not exceed the maximum rate
9permitted in the Bond Sale Order, notwithstanding the
10provisions of said Bond Authorization Act. Bonds issued under
11this Act shall be payable at such place or places, within or
12without the State of Illinois, and may be made registrable as
13to either principal only or as to both principal and interest,
14as shall be specified in the Bond Sale Order. Bonds may be made
15subject to redemption or subject to purchase and retirement or

17    All Bonds authorized under this Act shall be issued
18pursuant to a master trust indenture (the "Master Indenture")
19executed and delivered on behalf of the State by the Director.
20The Master Indenture shall be in substantially the form
21approved in the Bond Sale Order authorizing the issuance and
22sale of the initial series of Bonds issued under this Act. Such
23initial series of Bonds may, and each subsequent series of
24Bonds shall, also be issued pursuant to a supplemental trust
25indenture (each, a "Supplemental Indenture" and, together with
26the Master Indenture, each an "Indenture") executed and

 

 

SB2218- 8 -LRB100 12689 HLH 27541 b

1delivered on behalf of the State by the Director, each such
2Supplemental Indenture to be in substantially the form approved
3in the Bond Sale Order relating to such series. The Master
4Indenture and any Supplemental Indenture shall be entered into
5with a bank or trust company in the State of Illinois having
6trust powers and possessing capital and surplus of not less
7than $100,000,000. Such Indentures shall set forth the terms
8and conditions of the Bonds and provide for payment of and
9security for the Bonds, including the establishment and
10maintenance of debt service and reserve funds, and for other
11protections for holders of the Bonds, including without
12limitation, provisions relating to debt service coverage and
13the issuance of parity obligations. The term "reserve funds" as
14used in this Act shall include funds and accounts established
15under Indentures to provide for the payment of principal of and
16premium and interest on Bonds, to provide for the purchase,
17retirement or defeasance of Bonds, to provide for fees of
18trustees, registrars, paying agents, and other fiduciaries and

22contracts and indexing and remarketing agents' services.
23    In the case of any series of Bonds bearing interest at a
24variable interest rate ("Variable Rate Bonds"), in lieu of
25determining the rate or rates at which such series of Variable
26Rate Bonds shall bear interest and the price or prices at which

 

 

SB2218- 9 -LRB100 12689 HLH 27541 b

1such Variable Rate Bonds shall be initially sold or remarketed
2(in the event of purchase and subsequent resale), the Bond Sale
3Order may provide that such interest rates and prices may vary
4from time to time depending on criteria established in such
5Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
6limitation, references to indices or variations in interest
7rates as may, in the judgment of a remarketing agent, be
8necessary to permit Variable Rate Bonds of such series to be
9remarketed from time to time at a price equal to their
10principal amount (or compound accreted value in the case of
11original issue discount Variable Rate Bonds), and may provide
12for appointment of indexing agents and a bank, trust company,
13investment bank, or other financial institution to serve as
14remarketing agent in connection therewith. The Bond Sale Order
15may provide that alternative interest rates or provisions for
16establishing alternative interest rates, different security or
17claim priorities or different redemption or amortization
18provisions will apply during such times as Bonds of any series
19are held by a person providing credit or liquidity enhancement
20arrangements for such Bonds as authorized in subsection (b) of
21this Section 6.
22    (b) In connection with the issuance of any series of Bonds,
23the State may enter into arrangements to provide additional
24security and liquidity for such Bonds, including, without
25limitation, bond or interest rate insurance or letters of
26credit, lines of credit, bond purchase contracts, or other

 

 

SB2218- 10 -LRB100 12689 HLH 27541 b

1arrangements whereby funds are made available to retire or
2purchase Bonds, thereby assuring the ability of owners of the
3Bonds to sell, redeem, or receive payment at maturity for their
4Bonds. The State may enter into contracts and may agree to pay
5fees to persons providing such arrangements, but only under
6circumstances where the Director certifies that he or she
7reasonably expects the total interest paid or to be paid on the
8Bonds, together with the fees for the arrangements (being
9treated as if interest), would not, taken together, cause the
10Bonds to bear interest, calculated to their stated maturity, at
11a rate in excess of the rate which the Bonds would bear in the
12absence of such arrangements. Any bonds, notes, or other
13evidences of indebtedness issued pursuant to any such
14arrangements for the purpose of retiring and discharging
15outstanding Bonds shall constitute refunding Bonds under
16Section 12 of this Act. The State may participate in and enter
17into arrangements with respect to interest rate swaps or
18guarantees or financial futures contracts for the purpose of
19limiting or restricting interest rate risk; provided that such
20arrangements shall be made with or executed through banks
21having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 or
22insurance companies holding the highest policyholder rating
23accorded insurers by A.M. Best & Co. or any comparable rating
24service or government bond dealers reporting to, trading with,
25and recognized as primary dealers by a Federal Reserve Bank and
26having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000, or

 

 

SB2218- 11 -LRB100 12689 HLH 27541 b

1other persons whose debt securities are rated in the highest
2long-term categories by both Moody's Investors' Services, Inc.
3and Standard & Poor's Corporation. Agreements incorporating
4any of the foregoing arrangements may be executed and delivered
5by the Director on behalf of the State in substantially the
6form approved in the Bond Sale Order relating to such Bonds.
 
7    Section 7. Execution of Bonds. Bonds shall be signed by the
8Governor and attested by the Secretary of State under the
9printed facsimile seal of the State and countersigned by the
10State Treasurer by his manual signature or by his duly
11authorized deputy. If Bonds are issued in registered form
12pursuant to the Registered Bond Act, the signatures of the
13Governor, the Secretary of State, and the State Treasurer may
14be printed facsimile signatures. The Master Indenture or any
15Supplemental Indenture may also require that each Bond be
16authenticated by the manual signature of the trustee thereunder
17or of a registrar or paying agent. Unless Bonds are issued in
18fully registered form, interest coupons with facsimile
19signatures of the Governor, Secretary of State, and State
20Treasurer may be attached to the Bonds. The fact that an
21officer whose signature or facsimile thereof appears on a Bond,
22interest coupon, indenture, or agreement authorized under this
23Act no longer holds such office at the time the Bond, coupon,
24indenture, or agreement is delivered shall not invalidate such
25Bond, coupon, indenture or agreement.
