Accordingly the Village covenants not to enter into or enforce any agreements with any taxpayers, including, specifically, the Developer, that would modify the obligations of such taxpayers under general law without an opinion of Bond Counsel that such agreement or enforcement will not adversely affect the tax - exempt status of interest on any Note or other financing instruments issued on a tax - exempt basis for federal income tax purposes. In the event that any Note is issued on a tax - exempt basis, no provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, written or oral, will be enforced for the benefit of the holders of the Note or other financing instruments or in any way to increase revenues available to pay debt service on the Note or other financing instruments SIGNATURES TO FOLLOW 12 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have duly executed this Agreement pursuant to all requisite authorizations as of the date first above written.
