which have resulted in this Agreement are the following:
(a) The Village of Elk Grove Village, Illinois is a municipality and a home

State of Illinois and as such home rule unit has duly adopted Ordinance Number 1486, as
supplemented and amended (the "Enabling Ordinance"), authorizing and empowering the
Village to issue its revenue bonds for the purpose of financing the cost of the acquisition,
construction, reconstruction, improvement, equipping and extension of "projects" (as
defined in the Enabling Ordinance) in order to relieve conditions of employment and to
encourage economic development within the Village.
(b) The Company proposes to commence construction of offices and show-
rooms in, and renovation of offices and showrooms in, an existing building and acquisition
and installation of equipment therein, to be owned and used by the Company as an office,
showroom and distribution facility (the "Project") and to be located in the Village of Elk
Grove Village, Illinois. The Company wishes to obtain satisfactory assurance from the
Village that the proceeds from the sale of the revenue bonds of the Village will be made
available to finance the cost of the Project.
(c) The Village is authorized pursuant to the Enabling Ordinance to enter
into agreements with respect to projects and the financing thereof through the issuance

Ordinance, to issue and sell its revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000 (the
"Bonds") to pay costs of the Project and costs incidental to the issuance of the Bonds.
(e) The Village considers that the financing by the Village of the cost of
the Project on behalf of the Company will promote and further the purposes of the
Enabling Ordinance.
(g) The Bonds shall be limited obligations of the Village payable solely

M That it will cooperate with the Company in finding a purchaser or
purchasers for the Bonds, and if satisfactory purchase arrangements can be made, the

financing of the Project, all as shall be authorized by law and mutually satisfactory to
the Village and the Company; provided however, that any Bonds issued shall be within the
limits stated in Section 103(n) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended.

will provide that the Village will use the proceeds of the Bonds to loan to the Company to
be used to finance the Project and the aggregate payments (i.e., the amounts to be paid
by the Company and used by the Village to pay the principal of, interest and redemption
premium, if any, on the Bonds) payable under the instruments whereby the Project shall
be financed, shall be such sums as shall be sufficient to pay the principal of, interest and
redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds as and when the same shall become due and
payable. '
(d) That it will take or cause to be taken such other acts and adopt such
further proceedings as may be required to implement the aforesaid undertakings or as it
may deem appropriate in pursuance thereof.
