WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Authority has been incorporated by the County pursuant to Act 31 for the purpose
of acquiring, furnishing, equipping, owning, improving, enlarging, operating and maintaining a building or
buildings, automobile parking lots or structures, recreational facilities and stadiums, and the necessary
site or sites therefor, for the use of the County; and
WHEREAS, the County desires to undertake a project to construct, furnish, and equip a new

(the "Project"), and it is proposed that the Authority undertake the Project; and
WHEREAS, it is proposed that the Authority finance the total cost of the Project by the issuance of
building authority bonds payable from cash rental payments to be made by the County to the Authority
pursuant to this Lease and Act 31; and
WHEREAS, a description of the Project, and estimate of the period of usefulness thereof and an
estimate of the total cost of the Project, all as set forth on EXHIBIT A to this Lease, have been reviewed
and approved by the Board of Commissioners of the County; and
WHEREAS, in order to make possible the issuance of building authority bonds to finance all or a
portion of the total cost of the Project, it is necessary under Act 31 for the parties to enter into this Lease;
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL UNDERTAKINGS AND AGREEMENTS
SET FORTH BELOW, IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS LEASE AS
FOLLOWS:
1. Authorization and Issuance of Bonds. As soon as practicable after the effective date of
this Lease, the Authority shall proceed to authorize and issue one or more series of its building authority
bonds in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $15,450,000 (the "Bonds"), pursuant to and in
accordance with provisions of Act 31, for the purpose of constructing, furnishing and equipping the
Project. The Authority shall pledge for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds the
receipts from the cash rental payments described and required to be paid by the County pursuant to this
Lease. The Bonds of any series shall be dated November 1, 2015 or the first day of any later month in
2015 or 2016 and the final maturity may be at any time up to and including December 1, 2040 as the
Authority shall approve in the resolution authorizing issuance of the Bonds (the "Bond Resolution"). The
Bonds shall bear interest at a rate or rates that will result in a net interest cost not exceeding 6% per
annum. 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. Each date on which any payment of principal of and/or interest on any bond is
due is referred to herein as a "Bond Payment Date." The Bonds may be payable on the first day of a
different month, if necessary, to match rental income paid to the County.
The County and the Authority recognize and acknowledge that (a) such Debt Retirement
Schedule is based upon an assumed interest rate and date of issuance of the Bonds and upon assumed
Bond Payment Dates, all as set forth in EXHIBIT B, (b) the Bond Payment Dates will be specified in the
Bond Resolution, (c) the date and amount of each payment of cash rental required under this Lease will
be determined (subject to the limitations expressed in the preceding paragraph of this Section) when the
Bond Resolution is adopted by the Authority and the Bonds are sold, by application of the rate or rates of
interest (that will result in a net interest cost not exceeding 6% per annum) actually borne by the Bonds.
The Bonds may be sold subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the Authority with
such redemption premiums and upon such terms as shall be set forth in the Bond Resolution.
Upon receipt of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, all premium, capitalized interest, if any, and
accrued interest received from the purchaser or purchasers of the Bonds shall be transferred to a bond
and interest redemption fund, and the balance of such proceeds shall be deposited into an construction
fund, each of which shall be established by the Bond Resolution and maintained as a separate depository
account of the Authority. The money in the construction fund shall be used to pay costs of the Project,
and upon payment of all such costs, any excess money in the construction fund will be used as provided
in Section 4.
In the event that for any reason after the date upon which this Lease is executed, but before the
Bonds have been issued, it appears to the County and the Authority that the part of the Project to be paid
by bond proceeds can be constructed, furnished and equipped for less than $15,450,000, or the County
shall be able to make payment in advance on the cash rental payments payable pursuant to this Lease,
the Authority may reduce the amount of bonds to be issued in multiples of $5,000 and reduce the annual
maturities or the years of maturities as the County Treasurer shall direct.
2. Transfer of Title to and Completion of Project. The Authority owns the real property upon
which the project will be constructed, specifically, Parcel ID. Number: 13-24-227-001. The real property
is already leased to the County, The Authority shall construct, furnish, and equip the Project, which shall
be leased to the County pursuant to this lease. The plans, cost estimate and estimated period of
usefulness for the Project, all of which have been filed with the County Clerk and the Secretary of the
Authority, are hereby approved and adopted. The Project shall be implemented in substantial accordance
with such plans which are incorporated as part of (but not attached to) this Lease. No major changes in
such plans shall be made without the written approval first by the County and then by the Authority,
3. Increased Project Costs. In the event that it shall appear, upon determining the costs for
the constructing, furnishing and equipping of the Project and after issuance of the Bonds, that the Project
cannot be completed at the estimated cost, the Authority shall immediately notify the County. The County
may elect to pay the increased cost in cash to the Authority in which event the amount of such cash
payment shall be deposited in the construction fund for the Project and the Authority shall proceed to
construct, furnish and equip and complete the Project. In the alternative, the County and the Authority
may agree, by an amendment to this Lease, that additional bonds shall be issued by the Authority in an
amount sufficient to pay the increased Project costs. If, after the sale and issuance of the Bonds, it shall
become necessary to raise additional funds to pay for an increase in the Project costs and this Lease
cannot be amended to provide for the issuance of additional bonds, or if for any other reason additional
bonds cannot be issued, the County shall pay to the Authority in cash an amount which will be sufficient to
enable the Authority to complete the Project in accordance with the plans of the Project.
4. Funds Remaining After Completion. Any unexpended balance of the proceeds of the sale
of the Bonds remaining after completion of the Project may be used to improve or enlarge the Project
upon the approval of the Planning and Building Committee of the Board of Commissioners provided that
such use of the funds in the construction fund has been approved by the Municipal Finance Division of the
Michigan Department of Treasury, if necessary, and the County. Any unexpended balance not so used
shall be paid into the bond and interest redemption fund, and the County shall receive a credit against the
2
cash rental payments next due under this Lease to the extent of the moneys so deposited in the manner
provided in the Bond Resolution.
5. Insurance Requirements. The Authority shall require any contractor or contractors for the
Project to furnish all necessary bonds guaranteeing performance and all labor and material bonds and all
owner's protective, workers' compensation and liability insurance required for the protection of the
Authority and the County. Such bonds and insurance, and the amounts thereof, shall be subject to
approval of the County's Department of Risk Management on the advice of its counsel. The Authority also
shall require a sufficient fidelity bond from any person handling funds of the Authority.
6. Lease Term; Possession; Reconvevance. (a) The Authority does hereby lease the
Project, as described in Exhibit A, to the County for a term commencing on the effective date of this Lease
(determined as provided in Section 22) and ending on December 31, 2040, or such earlier or later date as
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, the fees and expenses of the paying agent
for the Bonds and all amounts owing hereunder have been paid in full, but in any event the term of this
Lease shall not exceed 50 years. Possession of the Project shall vest in the County upon the complete
execution of the Lease. At the end of the term of this Lease, the Authority shall convey to the County all of
its right, title and interest in and to the Project and any lands, easements or rights-of-way appertaining
thereto, and upon such conveyance, this Lease shall terminate, and the Authority shall have no further
interest in, or obligations with respect to, the Project.
(b) The County shall, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, acquire
and convey to the Authority all lands, buildings, tenements, hereditaments, easements and rights-of-way
necessary to enable the Authority to complete the Project in accordance with the plans.
7. Cash Rental; Pledge of Full Faith and Credit. The County hereby agrees to pay to the
Authority as cash rental for the Project such periodic amounts as shall be sufficient to enable the Authority
to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as such principal and interest shall become due, whether
at maturity or by redemption. For so long as any bonds are outstanding, the County shall pay to the
Authority, on the Bond Payment Date, an amount sufficient to pay the principal and/or interest due on the
Bonds on such Bond Payment Date.
The County hereby pledges its full faith and credit for the payment of the cash rental when due
and agrees that it will levy each year such ad valorem taxes as shall be necessary for the payment of such
cash rental, which taxes, however, will be subject to applicable constitutional and statutory limitations on
the taxing power of the County, and which shall not be in an amount or at a rate exceeding that necessary
to pay its contractual obligation pursuant to this Lease. If the County, at the time prescribed by law for the
making of its annual tax levy, shall have other funds on hand which have been set aside and earmarked
for payment of its obligations under this Lease for which a tax levy would otherwise have to be made, then
the tax levy shall be reduced by the amount of such other funds. Such other funds may be raised from
any lawful source. The obligation of the County to make such cash rental payments shall not be subject to
any set-off by the County nor shall there be any abatement of the cash rental payments for any cause,
including, but not limited to, casualty that results in the Project being untenantable.
8. Expenses of issuing and Payment of Bonds. The Authority shall pay from the proceeds of
the sale of any series of the Bonds all expenses incurred with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. The
County agrees to pay to the Authority, in addition to the cash rental provided for in Section 7, all expenses
incurred with respect to the issuance and payment of the Bonds, to the extent not so paid from the
proceeds from the sale of the Bonds. The obligation of the County to make such payments shall be a
general obligation of the County.
9. Preliminary Expenses of the County. Upon the sale of the Bonds, the County shall give
the Authority a full and complete accounting of the preliminary costs and expenses incurred on or before
that date by the County in connection with the Project, and the Authority shall thereupon reimburse the
3
County for such costs and expenses to the extent that such costs and expenses were included in the
portion of the total cost of the Project to be paid from bond proceeds.
10. Maintenance and Repairs. The County shall, at its own expense, operate and maintain
the Project and shall keep the same in good condition and repair. Operation and maintenance shall
include but not be limited to the following: the furnishing of all personnel, equipment and facilities; the
provision of all light, power, heat, water, sewerage, drainage and other utilities; and the furnishing of all
properties and services of whatever nature, as shall be necessary or expedient in the efficient and lawful
operation and maintenance of the Project. Premiums for insurance required to be carried upon or with
respect to the Project or the use thereof and taxes levied upon either party hereto on account of the
ownership or use of the Project, or on account of rentals or income from the Project, shall likewise be
deemed operation and maintenance expenses. The obligation of the County to pay all costs and
expenses of the operation and maintenance of the Project shall be a general obligation of the County.
11. Property Insurance and Insurance Proceeds. The County shall cause to be provided, at
no expense to the Authority, fire and extended coverage insurance in an amount which is at least equal to
the amount of bonds outstanding from time to time or to the amount of the full replacement cost of the
Project if that amount be less than the amount of bonds outstanding. In the event of the partial or total
destruction of the Project during or after construction, or if the Project is for any reason made unusable,
the cash rental payments provided in Section 7 shall continue unabated. In the event the insurance
proceeds are payable to the County, the County shall have the option to use the proceeds of insurance, in
the event of loss or damage to the Project, for the repair or restoration of the Project.
12. Liability Insurance. The County shall cause to be provided and maintained during the
term of this Lease adequate liability insurance or self insurance protecting the County and the Authority
against loss on account of damage or injury to persons or property, imposed by reason of the ownership,
possession, use, operation, maintenance or repair of the Project and the site of the Project, or resulting
from any acts of omission or commission on the part of the County or the Authority or their respective
officers or employees in the connection with the Project. Such insurance shall be made effective upon the
complete execution of this Lease.
13, No Unlawful Use Permitted. The Project shall not be used or permitted to be used in any
unlawful manner or in any manner which would violate the provisions of any contract or agreement
between the County or the Authority and any third party. To the extent permitted by law, the County shall
hold the Authority harmless and keep it fully indemnified at all times against any loss, injury or liability to
any persons or property by reason of the use, misuse or non-use of the Project or from any act or
omission in, on or about the Project. The County shall, at its own expense, make any changes or
alterations in, on or about the Project which may be required by any applicable statute, charter, ordinance
or governmental regulation or order and shall save the Authority harmless and free from all costs or
damages with respect thereto.
14. Alterations of Project. The County, in its sole discretion, may install or construct in or
upon, or may remove from the Project, any equipment, fixtures or structures, and may make any
alterations to or structural changes in, the Project as the County may desire in accordance with the
standing rules of the Board of Commissioners.
15, Right of Inspection. The Authority, through its officers, employees, or agents, may enter
upon the Project at any reasonable time during the term of this Lease for the purpose of inspecting the
Project and determining whether the County is complying with the covenants, agreements, terms and
conditions of this Lease.
16. Contractual Rights of Bondholders. Inasmuch as this Lease, and particularly the
obligation of the County to make cash rental payments to the Authority, provides the security for payment
of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, it is hereby declared that this Lease is made for the benefit of
4

the County, the Authority and the holders of the Bonds shall have all rights and remedies provided by law,
including in particular all rights and remedies provided by Act 31. The parties shall not do nor permit to be
done any act, including amending this Lease, that would impair the security of the Bonds or the rights of
the holders of the Bonds. An amendment of this Lease to authorize the issuance of additional bonds and
providing the payment of additional cash rentals for the payment of such bonds shall not be deemed to
impair the security of the Bonds or the rights of the holders of the Bonds.
17. Appurtenant Facilities. The site on which this Project is to be located includes or will
include roadways, walks, drives, parking areas and landscaping which are of benefit to and necessary to
the full use and enjoyment of the Project, the County shall maintain such appurtenant facilities in good
repair and condition. The appurtenant facilities shall be available to the users and occupants of the
Project.
18. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon,
the respective parties hereto and their successors and assigns, provided, however, that no assignment
shall be made in violation of the terms of this Lease nor shall any assignment be made which would impair
the security of the Bonds or the rights of the holders of the Bonds.

not issued by the Authority on or before December 31, 2018, the Project shall be abandoned, the County
shall pay from available funds all expenses of the Authority incurred to the date of abandonment, and
neither party shall have any further obligations under this Lease.

Lease shall be given by delivering the same, in the case of the County, to the County Clerk, and in the
case of the Authority, to any member of its Commission.
21. Changes in Law or Corporate Status. In the event there shall occur changes in the
Constitution or statutes of the State of Michigan which shall affect the organization, territory, powers or
corporate status of the County, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall be unaffected thereby insofar
as the obligation of the County to make the cash rental payments is concerned. The proceeds of any sale
or other liquidation of any interest of the County or the Authority in the Project are hereby impressed with a
first and prior lien for payment of any outstanding bonds or other obligations of the Authority incurred by
reason of the Project or any additions or improvements thereto.
22. Effective Date of Lease. This Lease shall become effective on the 61st day after

5
obligations hereunder and any failure by the County and the Authority to comply with the provision of this
Undertaking shall not be an event of default with respect to the Bonds).

APPENDIX III
I, the undersigned
FORM OF DECLARATION
OF OFFICIAL INTENT
of the County of Oakland, 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. I 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, (6) 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. I 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, I 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,
