Interest shall be payable semi-annually and shall begin as specified in the Bond Resolution until maturity of the bonds and shall mature in accordance with the Debt Retirement Schedule set forth on EXHIBIT B to this Lease.

Michigan, do hereby certify as follows: 1. I am an officer of the County authorized to declare official intent of the County to reimburse expenditures made, prior to the issuance of debt, from the proceeds of said debt. 2. This Declaration relates to the following expenditures (the "Expenditures"): Amount General Purpose 3, The Expenditures are with respect to property (the "Property'') having: (A) the following general character, type or purpose: (B) the following size, quantity or cost: and (C) a reasonably expected economic life at least one (1) year. 4. F understand that a substantial deviation between the above description of the Property for which the Expenditures are being made and the actual Property which is acquired or constructed will invalidate this declaration of official intent with the result that any proceeds of tax-exempt debt which are used to reimburse for the Expenditures will not be deemed to have been expended upon such reimbursement. 5. The County intends to reimburse the Expenditures by incurring taxable or tax-exempt debt (the "Reimbursement Obligations"). 6. The expected source of funds that will be used to pay the Expenditures is as follows: issuance of up to $ of Building Authority Bonds by the Oakland County Building Authority. 7. The expected source of funds to be used to pay debt service on the Reimbursement Obligation is as follows: payment made by the Oakland County through the Oakland County General Fund. 8. This declaration of intent is consistent with the budgetary and financial circumstances of the County as of the date hereof in that there are no funds which are now or are reasonably expected to be, (A) allocated on a long-term basis, (B) reserved or (C) otherwise available pursuant to the County's budget, to pay the Expenditure. 9. The County does not have a pattern of failure to reimburse expenditures for which official intent has been declared in that at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all expenditures made after 3 , for which the County has declared an intent to reimburse from the proceeds of taxable or tax- exempt debt have been, or are expected to be, so reimbursed. 10. I acknowledge that in the event that the County fails to use the proceeds of Reimbursement Obligations issued within three (3) years of the date hereof to reimburse expenditures the same may adversely affect the ability of the County to use the proceeds of tax-exempt obligations in the future to reimburse for expenditures made prior to the issuance of such obligations. 11. 1 further acknowledge that unless the Expenditures constitute preliminary expenditures (in the nature of architect services and soil testing but excluding land acquisition) for the Property not in excess of ten percent (10%) of the expected cost of the project of which the Property constitutes a part, the Expenditures will be paid within not in excess of two (2) years following the date hereof or, as an alternative, this declaration of intent will be renewed. 12. 1 further acknowledge that it is expected that the proceeds of Reimbursement Obligations will be used for reimbursement of each Expenditure not later than (A) the date that is one (1) year after the date on which such Expenditure is paid or (B) the date that is one (1) year after the date on which the Property is placed in service. 13. I further acknowledge that I will assure that the allocation referenced in item 12 (A) will be evidenced by an entry on the records of the County maintained with respect to the Reimbursement Obligations, (B) will specifically identify the Expenditure being reimbursed, and (C) on the advice of the appropriate counsel will be sufficient to relieve the allocated proceeds of the Reimbursement Obligations covered by such entry from any restrictions under the relevant legal documents and applicable state law that apply only to unspent proceeds of Reimbursement Obligations. 14. 1 further acknowledge that I will assure that except as referenced in item 15 the proceeds of the Reimbursement Obligations that are used to reimburse the Expenditures will not be used, directly or indirectly, (A) to pay debt service on an issue of tax-exempt obligations, (B) to create or increase the balance in a sinking fund established for the payment of debt service on the Reimbursement Obligations or another issue of tax-exempt obligations of the County or to replace funds that have been, are being, or will be so used for reserve or replacement fund purpose, or (D) to reimburse any expenditures or any payment with respect to financing of an expenditure that was originally paid with proceeds of any tax- exempt obligations of the County to any person or entity other than the County. 15, I understand that item 14 does not prohibit the use of those proceeds of the Reimbursement Obligations that are used to reimburse the Expenditures for (A) deposit in a bona fide debt service fund (that is, a fund established to pay debt service on any tax-exempt obligation of the County, other than the Reimbursement Obligation, which is depleted annually except for a reasonable carry over amount not in excess of one (1) year's interest earnings on said fund or one-twelfth (1/12th) of annual debt service), (B) to pay current debt service coming due within the next succeeding one-year period on any tax-exempt obligation of the County, other than the Reimbursement Obligations, or (C) to reimburse for expenditures originally made from the proceeds of a tax-exempt obligation of the County which were not reasonably expected by the County, on the date of issue of such obligation, to be used for such expenditure. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this declaration of official intent this day of County Las.r1 -oak278 4 Resolution #15250 October 7, 2015 The Chairperson referred the resolution to the Finance Committee.
