Code"), and the applicable regulations thereunder, in
such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage
bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the
Internal Revenue Code and the applicable regulations
thereunder.
-12-
(f) The COUNTY and the Authority will take or
abstain from taking, to the extent permitted by law all
\ actions reauired by the Internal Revenue Code and
regulations thereunder as may be necessary to retain
for the interest on the Bonds the exemption from direct
federal income taxation, including specifically all
actions and abstention from actions as required by the
Non-arbitrage and Tax Compliance Certificate and
related documents furnished in connection with the
Bonds.
11. In the event that it should be determined that for
any reason there are not sufficient funds to complete the
acquisition of the Project, or if repair, replacement or
alteration of the Project should be required to make the
Project useable for its originally intended purpose, and
additional funds become necessary therefor, it is agreed by
the parties hereto that this Contract may be supplemented or
amended to provide for the issuance of additional bonds by
the AUTHORITY to provide sufficient funds to complete,
repair, replace or alter the Project and also to increase
the Cash Rental by an amount fully sufficient to pay all
principal of and interest on the Bonds herein referred to
and such additional bonds when due.
In the event such determination of insufficient funds
should be made after the letting of contracts for
construction of the Project, but before completion thereof,
the AUTHORITY shall be authorized, on its own motion, to
-13-
issue such additional bonds as may be necessary to provide
sufficient funds to complete the Project or to make
necessary repairs, replacements or alterations therein, and
the Cash Rental to be paid by the COUNTY shall automatically
be increased by an amount fully sufficient to pay all
principal of and interest on the Bonds herein referred to
and such additional bonds when due. In the event any
additional bonds are issued, the duties and obligations of
the AUTHORITY and the COUNTY as expressed and set forth in
this Contract shall be applicable to such additional bonds
as well as the Bonds herein referred to, it being at all
times fully recognized and agreed that the Cash Rentals to
be paid by the COUNTY, as specified in Section 3 of this
Contract, shall be based upon the total amount of bonds
issued to pay the costs of the Project. Any such additional
bonds shall mature serially on May 1st and the Cash Rentals
coming due on April 1 and October 1, as shown in Section 3,
shall be increased by the principal amount of such
additional bonds maturing on said May 1st, plus the
additional interest payable thereon on May 1 and November 1.
All of the provisions of this Contract shall be applicable
to said increased amounts. Immediately upon the issuance of
such additional bonds, the AUTHORITY shall furnish and
supply the COUNTY documentation specifying the new schedule
of Bond payments and Cash Rentals, increased as herein
authorized, which shall be substituted and take the place of
the schedules herein specified. In the event additional
bonds are issued, all references herein to the Bonds shall
be deemed to include such additional bonds.
In lieu of the issuance of additional bonds, the
AUTHORITY and the COUNTY may enter into any other mutually
agreeable arrangement to meet increased costs or bring such
costs within the amount of funds available for construction
of the Project.
12. In the event, by reason of favorable construction
bids received, or for any other reason, it is not necessary
to issue the Bonds in the full amount presently anticipated,
the AUTHORITY shall be authorized, after consultation with
the COUNTY, to reduce the amount of Bonds to such lesser
principal amount as may be necessary to pay the cost of the
Project and also to reduce the Cash Rental of the COUNTY so
that the payments shall be sufficient to pay all principal
of and interest on the Bonds. All the provisions of this
Contract shall be applicable to said reduced amounts the
same as though such Bonds and Cash Rentals were originally
in said reduced amounts. In such event, the AUTHORITY shall
furnish and supply to the COUNTY documentation specifying
the new schedule of Bond Payments and Cash Rentals, reduced
as herein authorized, which shall be substituted and take
the place of the schedules herein specified.
13. After completion of the Project and payment of all
costs thereof, any unexpended balance remaining from the
proceeds of sale of Bonds and the amounts to be paid by the
COUNTY to the AUTHORITY pursuant to Section 1 above, shall
-15-
be used by the AUTHORITY, upon request made by resolution of
the Board of Commissioners of the COUNTY and with the
approval, if required, of the Michigan Department of
Treasury (or any successor agency thereto, if any), to the
extent required by law, for improvements or enlargement of
the Project or for any other projects of the AUTHORITY
leased to the COUNTY. Any balance remaining after such use
shall be applied to debt service requirements and Shall
reduce the next due Cash Rentals to the extent of such
application.
14. The AUTHORITY shall deliver possession of the
Project and the Site to the COUNTY simultaneously with
conveyance thereof by the COUNTY to the AUTHORITY, as
provided in Section 1(a) hereof. The Project shall be
completed not later than May 1, 1991, but in the event that
for any reason whatsoever the Project is not completed by
that date, the obligation of the COUNTY for the payment of
the Cash Rentals and other costs of the Project and the
performance of its other commitments under this Contract
shall in any event remain in full force and effect in order
to provide for the payment of principal of and interest on
the Bonds and other costs in connection therewith.
15. The COUNTY shall provide (a) liability insurance
to the extent necessary to protect the AUTHORITY and the
COUNTY against loss on account of damage or injury to
persons or property imposed by reason of the ownership of
the Project and the Site or resulting from any act of
-16-
omission or commission on the part of the AUTHORITY or the
COUNTY, their agents, officers and employees, in connection
with the operation, maintenance or repair of said Project
and the Site or the furnishing of any service to the COUNTY;
(b) casualty insurance against such risks and in such
amounts as are usually carried on projects of similar size
and nature; and (c) funds to pay the premium on a sufficient
fidelity bond from any person handling the funds of the
AUTHORITY.
16. Any funds received by the AUTHORITY or the COUNTY
from any insurance policies, or otherwise, because of
casualty or damage to the Project or the Site shall be used
promptly to restore the Project to a condition satisfactory
to the COUNTY. If such funds are not sufficient to so
restore the Project or the Site, the COUNTY may provide
sufficient additional funds therefor in such amounts as the
COUNTY and the AUTHORITY may agree upon, or the COUNTY and
the AUTHORITY may agree to issue additional bonds for such
restoration, in which event the provisions of Section 11
hereof with respect to additional bonds and increased Cash
Rentals shall apply. If in the judyt;Lent of the AUTHORITY,
concurred in by the COUNTY, the funds received from any
insurance policies, or otherwise, by the AUTHORITY or the
COUNTY shall be insufficient to restore the Project to a
condition satisfactory to the COUNTY and if additional
COUNTY funds are not made available or additional bonds are
not authorized to make proper restoration, then, in that
case, the AUTHORITY shall hold and/or invest the funds paid
to it by reason of such loss for the benefit of the holders
of the Bonds, and when upon receipt of sufficient Cash
Rentals from the COUNTY which, together with the proceeds of
the insurance and other available funds, will be sufficient
to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds, said moneys
shall be deposited by the AUTHORITY, in trust, for the
benefit of the bondholders and used to pay the principal and
interest on said Bonds as they mature.
17. The leasehold rights, duties and obligations of
the COUNTY as specified in this Contract shall not be
assigned nor sublet, in whole or in part, during the term of
this Contract or while any of the Bonds are outstanding and
unpaid, except to the extent that such assignment or
sublease benefits and serves a legitimate public purpose of
the COUNTY, in which event the COUNTY shall be authorized to
assign this Contract or sublet .the Project, the Site, or any
part thereof, but only to the extent and in the manner that
the COUNTY could assign or sublet if it were the owner of
the Project and the Site. In no event shall any assignment
or subletting relieve the COUNTY of its primary obligations
to pay the Cash Rentals and operation and maintenance costs
of the Project and the Site hereunder or perform any of its
other obligations hereunder.
18. The COUNTY shall have, and is hereby granted, the
right to require the AUTHORITY to release from the terms and
restrictions hereof any part of the Site, or any interest
-18-
therein. at any time and from time to time while the COUNTY
is not in default hereunder, without cost to the COUNTY,
provided that the COUNTY furnishes the AUTHORITY with
(a) A notice, in writing, containing an adequate
legal description of that portion of the Site with
respect to which such right is to be exercised,
together with a survey thereof; and
(b) A certificate signed by an engineer or
architect stating (i) that no part of the improvements
constituting the Project (other than sewer, water, gas,
electric and communication lines and other utilities,
and the like, which shall be specified in such
certificate) is located on the portion of the Site with
respect to which such right is enercised, and (ii) that
the severance of such portion of the Site will not
impair the operating utility or materially alter the
character of the Project or the balance of the Site.
From and after the consummation of any release effected
by the COUNTY pursuant to the provisions of this Section,
any reference herein to the Site shall be deemed to refer to
the real property described herein, and the buildings and
improvements thereon, less and except any portion or
interest therein released to the COUNTY under this Section
and any part theretofore released to the COUNTY under this
Section. No release effected by the COUNTY under the
provisions of this Section shall entitle the COUNTY to any

on all Bonds are paid in full or adequate funds are
available and held in trust for the benefit of the holders
of the Bonds for that purpose.
21. The COUNTY covenants and agrees that if before the
Bonds have been retired default shall at any time be made by
the COUNTY in payments of Cash Rentals or operation and
maintenance costs as herein required or in the performance
of any of its obligations hereunder, the AUTHORITY shall
-20-
have the right to use all the remedies provided by law to
correct said default, including those specifically set forth
in the Act and the ordinance or resolution to be enacted by
the AUTHORITY providing for the issuance of the Bends. In
the event of any such default, the holder or holders of the
Bonds may, to the extent permitted by law, exercise and
enforce the rights of the AUTHORITY hereunder.
22. The AUTHORITY and the COUNTY each recognize that
the Bonds are to be issued in anticipation of the Cash
Rentals to be paid by the COUNTY hereunder and that the
holders from time to time of the Bonds will have contractual
rights in this Contract, and it is, therefore, covenanted
and agreed by each of them that so long as any of the Bonds
shall remain outstanding and unpaid the provisions of this
Contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision
,
which would in any manner unfavorably affect either the
security of the Bonds or the prompt payment of principal or
interest thereon. The AUTHORITY and the COUNTY further
covenant and agree that they will each comply with their
respective duties and obligations under the terms of this
Contract promptly at the times and in the manner herein set
forth and will not suffer to be done any act which would in
any way impair the said Bonds, the security therefor, or the
prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. The
COUNTY may, in writing, waive strict compliance by the
AUTHORITY with the dates set out herein for the entering
into of final construction contracts and for completion of
-21-
the Project, and such dates may be altered upon mutual
agreement by the parties hereto.
23. Any notice necessary or proper to be given to any
of the parties hereto may be served in the following manner:
(a) If to the AUTHORITY, by delivering the same
to the Treasurer of the AUTHORITY;
(b) If to the COUNTY, by delivering the same to
the County Clerk or the County Clerk's deputy.
24. This Contract shall terminate on the payment in
full of all principal and interest on all the Bonds. When
the Bonds have been retired and the Contract terminated, the
AUTHORITY shall convey the Project and the Site to the
COUNTY, without consideration, by quit claim deed and
appropriate bills of sale in such form and manner as may be
approved by the County Attorney of the COUNTY. Upon
termination of this Contract in the manner set forth above,
the AUTHORITY shall promptly pay over to the COUNTY any and
all funds held by it pertaining to the aforesaid Bonds or in
any other manner relating to the Project.
25, The AUTHORITY covenants that the COUNTY upon
compliance with the terms of this Contract, shall and may
peacefully and quietly have and hold and enjoy the Project
and the Site for the term herein provided.
26. Nothing herein contained shall in any way be
construed to prevent additional financing under the
provisions of the Act, or any other law, for any of the
-22-

purposes set out in the Articles of Incorporation of the
AUTHORITY.

and assigns.
