reasonable time after execution of construction contracts and delivery
of the County bonds; and (g) do all other things required of said
Board under the provisions of Act 185,
4. The Township shall pay to the County the cost of
acquiring the system. The term "cost" as used herein shall be
construed to include all items of cost of the type set forth on
Exhibit "B" and any other items of cost of a similar nature as may
be set forth in any revision of said Exhibit "B" agreed to by the
parties hereto, incurred by the County in acquiring and constructing
the project. The cost of the project will be represented by one or
more series of bonds to be issued by the County as provided in
paragraph 3 in the aggregate principal amount not to exceed the
said cost, or any portion thereof, as determined or estimated at the
time or times of such issuance. The Township covenants and agrees
to remit its principal and interest payments on said bonds so issued
and the paying agent fees and other charges to service said bonds
(herein called "bond service charges"), as hereinafter provided.
The annual principal maturities of the bonds to be issued are set
forth on Exhibit "C" which is attached hereto and by this reference
is made a part hereof.
-5-
Immediately upon the issuance of said bonds by the County
to finance the cost of the project, or any part thereof, the Board
shall notify the Township, by written communication addressed to its
treasurer, of the schedule of payments of the principal of and
interest on the bonds so issued and of the bond service charges to
be paid by it, The Township hereby covenants and agrees, not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any principal of or
interest on such bonds, to remit to the County sufficient funds to

issued by the County to construct and complete the project, or any
part thereof, whether issued at one time or more than one time
It is assumed that the aggregate principal amount of all bonds
issued will represent the cost of the project. If funds are
available from the Township or any other source to pay the said
cost, or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of bonds, then
the obligation of the Township shall be adjusted and limited
accordingly. If the Township shall fail to make any of such
payments when due, the amount thereof shall be subject to a penalty
of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) for each month or fraction
thereof that the same remains unpaid after the due date.
5. The Township may pay in advance of maturity all or any
part of an annual installment due the County, (I) by surrendering
to the County, bonds issued hereunder of a like principal amount
maturing in the same calendar year, with all future due interest
coupons attached thereto, or (2) by payment in cash of the principal
amount of bonds to be called plus all interest to the first day on
which such amount of bonds can be called and the amount of premium
and charges necessary to call such amount of bonds on such date
-6-

bonds shall be used to redeem County bonds prior to maturity or to •
purchase County bonds on the open market, and in such event the
bonds so retired shall be cancelled and the obligations of the
Township shall be reduced by the principal amount of the bonds so
retired, which reduction shall be applied upon the Township's
installment payment for the year of maturity of the bonds so .
retired. As an alternative, any surplus in the construction account
derived from any source may be used at the request of the Township
and with the consent of the Board and of the County, all expressed
by resolution, to improve, enlarge or extend the system or any
section . thereof.
7. If the proceeds of the sale of the original . bonds to
be issued by the County to finance the project, or any part thereof,
are for any reason insufficient to complete the same in accordance
with the plans and specifications therefor, the Board shall, if
necessary, submit to the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County a
resolution providing for the issuance of additional bonds in an
amount necessary to provide funds to complete the project in which
event the duties and obligations of the Board and the Township as
expressed and set forth in this agreement shall be applicable to
such additional issue of bonds as well as the original issue, it
being at all times fully recognized and agreed that tha payments
to be made by the Township, in the manner specified in paragraph 5
of this agr,eem,,T,:nt, shall be based upon the aggregate amount of the
bonds outstanding. In lieu of the issuance of such additional bonds,

its negotiable bonds as set forth in paragraph 3 hereof, to defray
the estimated cast of the project, which bands shall be issued
under the authorization provided in paragraph (1), subparagraph (b),
Section 11 of said Act"185, Public Acts of Michigan, 1957, as
amended.

with disbursement to the Township of funds . derived from the state
under the applicable provisions of the statutes of the state and
returnable Co the Township pursuant to such ,provisions, or any other
funds payable to the Township, is hereby authorized by the Township
to withhold sufficientfunds (but in no event in an amount in excess
of 25% of the amount of default) derived from such funds returnable
to the Township as may be lawful and as may be needed to correct
such default, and to pay said sums so withheld to the Board to apply

proper proportionate share of the contractual obligation of the
Township to the County, and of the contractual right of the Township

is taken, one designated by the governing body of the new munici-
pality or the municipality annexing such territory, and one independent
registered engineer appointed by the Dcard. Each municipality shall
appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being
-12-

fail to appoint its representative within the time above provided,
then the Board may proceed without said recommendation. If the
committee shall not make its recommendation within forty-five (45)
days after its appointment or with any extension thereof by the Board,
then the Board may proceed without such recommendation. In the

tion of the third member of the committee, any member of the Board
who is also an official of either affected municipality shall be
disqualified to act or vote. If territory in the Township not served

1957, as amended, and secured by the full faith and credit pledge
of the Township to the making of its payments as set forth in this
agreement, will have contractual rights in the agreement, and it is
therefore covenanted and agreed by the parties hereto that so long

visions of this agreement shall not be subject to any alteration or
revision which would in any manner affect either the security of
the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon.
The Township and the County further covenant and agree that they will
each comply promptly with their respective duties and obligations
-137
under the terms of this agreement at the times and in the manner
herein set forth, and will not suffer to be done any act which would

to the security of any such bonds shall be deemed to be for the benefit
the holders of the said bonds.

of Oakland County, and by the Board of Commissioners of Oakland County,
and when duly executed by the authorized officers of the Township and
of the Board of Public Works. This agreement shall terminate forty
(40) years from the date of this agreement or on such earlier date
as shall be mutually agreed: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that it shall not be
terminated by mutual agreement or at any time when the Township is in
default hereunder or at any time prior to the payment in full of the
principal of and interest on the County bonds together with all paying
agent fees and other charges pertaining to said bonds. This agreement
may be executed in several counterparts. The provisions of this
agreement .shall be in full force and effect and binding upon the
