The Municipalities by way of compliance with Section 29, Article VII, Michigan Constitution of 1963, consent and agree to the establishment and location of the Project within their corporate boundaries and to the use by the County of their streets, highways, alleys, lands, rights-of-way or other public places for the purpose and facilities of the Project and any improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof, and the Municipalities further agree that, in order to evidence and effectuate the foregoing agreement and consent, they will execute and deliver to the County such grants of easement, right-of-way, license, permit or consent as may be requested by the County. 2. The Project shall consist of the sewage disposal system facilities as described and specified in the preliminary plans set forth in Exhibit A, which is hereunto attached and is made a part hereof, and which preliminary plans are on file with the County Agency and are approved and adopted. The Project shall be acquired and constructed substantially in accordance with said preliminary plans and in accordance with final plans and specifications to be prepared and -3- submitted by the consulting engineers, but variations therefrom that do not materially change the location, capacities or overall design of the Project, and that do not require an increase in the total estimated cost of the Project, may be permitted on the authority of the County Agency. Other variations or changes may be made if approved by the County Agency and by resolution of the governing body of each Municipality and if provisions required by paragraph 5 hereof are made for payment or financing of any resulting increase in the total estimated cost. The estimate of the cost of the Project and the estimate of the period of usefulness thereof as set forth in Exhibit B are approved and adopted. 3. The County Agency shall take or cause to be taken all actions required or necessary, in accordance with Act 342, to procure the issuance and sale of bonds by the County, in one or more series, in whatever aggregate principal amount is necessary to finance that portion of the cost of the Project which is in excess of the cash payments to be made by Bloomfield Hills as provided in paragraph 6 hereof. Such bonds shall be issued in anticipation of, and be payable primarily from, the payments to be made by Bloomfield Township to the County as provided in this contract, and shall be secured secondarily, if so voted by the Board of Commissioners of the County, by a pledge of the full faith and credit of the County, and the said bonds shall be payable in annual maturities the last of which shall be not more than forty years from the date thereof. 4. The County Agency shall proceed to take construction bids for the Project and, subject to the sale and delivery of County bonds and receipt of the cash payments to be made under this contract by Bloomfield Hills, enter into construction contracts with the lowest responsible bidder or bidders, procure from the contractors all necessary and proper bonds, cause the Project to be constructed within a reasonable time, and do all other things required by this contract and the laws of the State of Michigan. The County Agency may, in its sole discretion, retain the services of a third-party engineering firm to perform contract administration of the Project, and payment for such services shall be the responsibility of the Municipalities as part of -4- the cost of the Project as described in paragraph 6 hereof All certificates for required payments to contractors shall be approved by the consulting engineers before presentation to the County Agency and the latter shall be entitled to rely on such approval in making payments. 5. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Project for any reason, or if the actual cost of the Project shall exceed the estimated cost, whether as the result of variations or changes made in the approved plans or otherwise, then the County Agency shall not be obligated to pay such increased or excess cost unless the governing body of each Municipality shall have adopted a resolution approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not available from other sources) shall be defrayed by the issuance of increased or additional bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the Municipalities to the County in the manner hereinafter provided; provided, however, that the adoption of such resolutions by the governing bodies of the Municipalities shall not be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the County if the County previously has issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay part of the cost of the Project and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the County) to pay such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the Project according to the plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be sold. 6. The Municipalities shall pay to the County their respective shares of the cost of the Project. The Municipalities hereby acknowledge that, except as may be pledged by the County for payment of bonds as described in paragraph 3 hereof or as may be advanced by the County pursuant to paragraph 13 hereof, no County general funds shall be appropriated or pledged pursuant to this contract or for the Project. The County's role in the Project is strictly limited to that set forth in Act 342, and the Municipalities shall be solely responsible for all administration, finance and construction costs (including attorney fees and all dispute resolution -5- costs), and all costs of operation and maintenance of the Project. The cost of the Project is hereby allocated to the Municipalities in accordance with the percentages and amounts set forth in Exhibit B. That portion of the cost of the Project representing the costs of issuing the bonds, including County administrative costs relating to the bonds (collectively "Issuance Costs"), shall be paid by Bloomfield Township as hereinafter provided. Bloomfield Hills shall pay its share of the cost of the Project (less Issuance Costs) to the County in cash on the date that the proceeds of the bonds are received by the County from the purchaser thereof. The balance of the cost of the Project (including Issuance Costs) will be defrayed by the issuance of the County bonds as provided in paragraphs 3 and 5 hereof. Bloomfield Township covenants and agrees to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds and all paying agency and transfer fees and other expenses and charges (including the County Agency's administrative expenses) that are payable on account of the bonds (such fees, expenses and charges being herein called "bond service charges"). The Municipalities covenant and agree to pay all costs and expenses relating to lawsuits as described in paragraph 18 hereof and all items of cost described in paragraph 7 hereof. Such payments of Bloomfield Township shall be made to the County in annual installments, which shall be due and payable at least thirty days prior to each interest payment date specified in the County bonds. Such annual installments shall commence on the date that interest (other than capitalized interest) or principal first becomes payable on the bonds, and the aggregate amount of the installments shall be at least sufficient to pay all principal and interest on the bonds, all bond service charges payable on account of the bonds and all other costs described in this paragraph. The County Agency, within thirty days after delivery of the County bonds to the purchaser, shall furnish the treasurer of Bloomfield Township with a complete schedule of the principal of and interest on the bonds, and the County Agency also, at least thirty days before each payment is due, shall advise the treasurer of Bloomfield Township of the amount payable to the County on such date. If Bloomfield Township fails to make any payment to the County when due, the same shall be subject to a penalty of 1% thereof for each month or fraction thereof that such amount remains unpaid after due. Failure of the County Agency to -6- furnish the schedule or give the notice as above required shall not excuse Bloomfield Township from the obligation to make payments when due. The foregoing obligations shall apply to all bonds issued by the County to defray the cost of the Project. Payments shall be made by Bloomfield Township when due whether or not the Project has then been completed or placed in operation. 7. The County Agency is hereby authorized, but not required, to utilize County personnel for the administration of the Project. The Municipalities agree that the costs of contract administration, auditing and financial services shall be part of the cost of the Project for purposes of paragraph 6 hereof, whether such services are provided by County personnel or third parties. In the case of County personnel, the costs attributed to the Project shall include the allocable share of such personnel's salary and fringe benefits to the Project as determined by the County Agency. 8. Bloomfield Township may pay in advance of maturity all or any part of its installment due the County on the bonds by surrendering to the County bonds issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year or by paying to the County in cash the principal amount of any County bonds that are subject to redemption prior to maturity, plus all interest thereon to the first date upon which such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all applicable call premiums and bond service charges, and in such event the County Agency shall call said bonds for redemption at the earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof so prepaid shall be deemed to be the installments or parts thereof falling due in the same calendar year as the maturity dates of the bonds surrendered or called for redemption. 9. The proceeds of sale of the bonds shall be used solely and only to pay that portion of the cost of the Project allocable to Bloomfield Township, and after completion thereof and payment of all costs in connection therewith, any surplus remaining from the sale of the bonds -7- shall be (i) used to purchase the bonds on the open market or (ii) retained by the County Agency as a reserve for payment of the bond principal and interest maturities next falling due, and in such event the contract obligations of Bloomfield Township in respect to such bonds or such maturities shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so purchased or of said reserve, said reduction in case of the purchase of bonds to be applied as to year in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so purchased. Any bonds so purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, such surplus may be used, on request of Bloomfield Township and approval by the Board of Commissioners of the County, to extend, enlarge or improve the System or to acquire and construct additional sewage disposal system improvements and facilities to serve Bloomfield Township. 10. Each Municipality, pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act 342, hereby pledges its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract (which obligations, in the case of Bloomfield Hills, are limited to making a single cash payment to the County as provided in paragraph 6 hereof ) and, subject to applicable constitutional, statutory and charter tax limitations, each year shall levy a tax in an amount that, taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections; provided, however, that if at the time of making its annual tax levy, the Municipalities shall have on hand in cash other funds (or to its credit in the hands of the County), including special assessment funds and sewage disposal system revenues, that have been set aside and pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. The governing body of Bloomfield Township each year, at least 90 days prior to the final date provided by law or charter for the making of the annual tax levy, shall submit to the County Agency a written statement setting forth the amount of its obligations to the County that become due and payable under this contract prior to the time of the next following year's tax -8- collections, the amount of the funds that Bloomfield Township has or will have on hand or to its credit in the hands of the County that have been set aside and pledged for payment of said obligations to the County and the amount of the taxes next proposed to be levied for the purpose of raising money to meet such obligations. The County Agency promptly shall review such statement and, if it finds that the proposed tax levy is insufficient, it shall so notify the governing body of Bloomfield Township. The County Agency agrees to use any Bloomfield Township's funds on hand with the County Agency, to the extent available, to make Bloomfield Township's payments due on this contract as directed by Bloomfield Township. Bloomfield Township hereby covenants and agrees that it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be required by the County Agency. 11. In the event that a Municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the County Agency at the times herein specified the amounts herein required to be paid, the state treasurer or other official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to the Municipality pursuant to the Michigan constitution is authorized hereby to withhold sufficient funds to make up any default or deficiency in funds. In the event the County is required to advance any money by reason of its pledge of full faith and credit on the bonds to be issued to finance the acquisition and construction of the Project on account of the delinquency of Bloomfield Township, the County Treasurer shall notify the state treasurer to deduct the amount of money so advanced by the County from any unrestricted moneys in the state treasurer's possession belonging to Bloomfield Township and to pay such amount to the County. In addition to the foregoing, the County shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law to enforce the obligations of the Municipalities to make payments in the manner and at the times required by this contract. It is specifically recognized by Bloomfield Township that the payments required to be made by it pursuant to the terms of this contract are to be pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds to be issued by the County, and Bloomfield Township covenants and agrees that it will make its required payments to the County promptly -9- and at the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the Project herein contemplated is actually completed or placed in operation; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall limit the obligation of the County to perform in accordance with the covenants contained herein. 12. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in either of the Municipalities shall impair in any manner the obligations of this contract or affect the obligations of the Municipalities hereunder. In the event that all or any part of the territory of either Municipality is incorporated as a new city or village or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another municipality, the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed shall assume the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligations (including the pledge of full faith and credit) of such Municipality, which proper proportionate share shall be fixed and determined by the County Agency and shall be binding upon all parties concerned unless, within sixty (60) days after such incorporation or annexation becomes effective, the governing body of the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed and the governing body of such Municipality shall by mutual agreement and with the written approval of the County Agency fix and detettaine such proper proportionate share. The County Agency, prior to making such determination, shall receive a written recommendation as to the proper proportionate share from a committee composed of one representative designated by the governing body of such Municipality, one designated by the governing body of the new municipality or the municipality incorporating or annexing such territory and one independent registered engineer appointed by the County Agency. Each governmental unit shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so by the County Agency and within a like time the County Agency shall appoint the engineer third member. If any such representative (other than the appointee of the County Agency) is not appointed within the time above provided, then the County Agency may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee shall not make the recommendation within forty-five (45) -10- days after its appointment or within any extension thereof by the County Agency, then the County Agency may proceed without such recommendation. 13. The County may advance funds, if approved by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of the members-elect of its Board of Commissioners (as required by Section 8 of Act 342) for administrative expenses, including engineering, legal and consulting expenses, incurred by the County Agency in the performance of its duties and powers authorized by Act 342 and for purposes of obtaining maps, plans, designs, specifications, cost estimates, rights-of-way and permits for the Project. In such event, and to avoid paying interest on the advance, the Municipalities shall, not later than two years after the date of adoption of the resolution of the County Board of Commissioners approving such advance, reimburse the County for their respective shares of the amount of any such advance; provided, however, that (i) the County Board of Commissioners may extend the due date of such reimbursement by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of its members-elect and (ii) the respective obligation of each Municipality shall be reduced to the extent that County bonds are issued and the proceeds thereof are used to reimburse the County for such advances. The obligations of the Municipalities to pay the amounts set forth in this paragraph are full faith and credit obligations as described in paragraph 10 hereof. The County shall have all rights and remedies provided by this contract and Act 342 and otherwise pursuant to law to enforce the obligations of the Municipalities described in this paragraph. In the event that either Municipality fails to reimburse the County for an advance made pursuant to this paragraph when due, such Municipality shall pay to the County interest on such unreimbursed amount from the date of such advance to the date of repayment at the interest rate prevailing on six-month United States Treasury Bills on the date of adoption of the resolution of the County Board of Commissioners approving the advance, to be compounded quarterly. 14. If County bonds are not sold to finance the acquisition and construction of any portion of the Project within three years from the date of this contract through no fault of the County or if the Project is abandoned for any reason, the Municipalities shall pay, or reimburse the County for the payment of, all engineering, legal and other costs and expenses incurred by the County Agency in connection with the Project in the percentages set forth in Exhibit B and the Municipalities shall be entitled to all plans, specifications and other engineering data and materials. The provisions of this paragraph may be waived or extended, either before or after the expiration of the three year period, by resolution of each of the governing bodies of the Municipalities and the Board of Commissioners of the County. 15. After completion of the Project the operation and maintenance of the Project shall be in accordance with applicable agreements between the County and the Municipalities. 16. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the System is to serve the Municipalities and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between the County Agency and the Municipalities. The responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the System and/or providing such additional facilities as may be needed shall be that of the Municipality wherein such property is located and such Municipality shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the County, any such necessary additional facilities. The County shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. 17. The County shall have no obligation or responsibility for providing facilities except as herein expressly provided with respect to the acquisition and construction of the Project or as otherwise provided by contract. The Municipalities shall have the authority and the responsibility to provide such other facilities and shall have the right to expand the facilities of the System by constructing or extending sewers or related facilities, connecting the same to the -12- System, and otherwise improving the System. It is expressly agreed, nevertheless, that no such connection shall be made to the System and no improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof shall be made without first securing a permit therefor from the County. Any such permit may be made conditional upon inspection and approval of new construction by the County. 18. The parties hereto agree that the costs and expenses of any lawsuits or Claims (as hereinafter defined) arising directly or indirectly out of this contract or the construction or financing of the Project, to the extent that such costs and expenses are chargeable against the County or the County Agency, shall be deemed to constitute a part of the cost of the Project and shall be paid by the Municipalities in the same manner as herein provided with respect to other costs of the Project. In the event of such litigation or claims, the County Agency shall consult with the Municipalities and shall retain legal counsel agreeable to the County and the Municipalities to represent the County; provided that if the County and the Municipalities cannot agree as to such representation within a reasonable time, the County Agency shall exercise its discretion as to the retention of such counsel. In this contract, "Claims" means any alleged losses, claims, complaints, demands for relief or damages, liability, penalties, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, reimbursement for reasonable attorney fees, witness fees, court costs, investigation expenses, litigation expenses, amounts paid in settlement, and/or other amounts or liabilities of any kind which are imposed on, incurred by, or assessed against the County, County Agency or Municipalities, or for which the County, County Agency or Municipalities may become legally and/or contractually obligated to pay or defend against, whether direct, indirect or consequential, whether based upon any alleged violation of the federal or the State constitution, any federal or State statute, rule, regulation, or any alleged violation of federal or State common law, whether any such claims are brought in law or equity, tort, contract, or otherwise, and/or whether commenced or threatened. This paragraph shall not apply to a lawsuit instituted by either of the Municipalities to enforce their respective rights under this contract. -13- 19. All powers, duties and functions vested by this contract in the County shall be exercised and perfotuted by the County Agency, for and on behalf of the County, unless otherwise provided by law or in this contract. 20. The parties hereto recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds to be issued by the County under the provisions of Act 342, and secured by the full faith and credit pledge of Bloomfield Township to the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds as set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract, and it is therefore covenanted and agreed that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the provisions of this contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision that would affect adversely either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon. The right to make changes in this contract, by amendment, supplemental contract or otherwise is nevertheless reserved insofar as the same do not have such adverse effect. The parties hereto further covenant and agree that they each will 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 that would impair in any way the contract of said bonds, the security therefor or the prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is declared hereby that the terms of this contract and of any amendatory or supplemental contract and any contract entered into pursuant hereto, insofar as they pertain to said bonds or to the payment of the security thereof, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds. 21. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this contract for any reason shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, but this contract shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 22. This contract shall become effective after its execution by each party hereto and the expiration of 45 days after the date of publication of the notice required by Section 5b of Act 342; provided, however, that if, within the 45-day period, a proper petition is filed with the Clerk of either Municipality in accordance with the provisions of Section 5b of Act 342, this contract shall not become effective until approved by the vote of a majority of the electors residing in such Municipality qualified to vote and voting thereon at a general or special election. This contract shall teiminate forty (40) years from its date or on such earlier date when the Municipalities are not in default hereunder and the principal, interest and bond service charges on the bonds issued as hereinabove described and all other amounts owed by the Municipalities to the County hereunder are fully paid and discharged. This contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing herein contained, however, shall require the County to finance the Project if it is unable to sell the bonds to finance the same. This contract may be executed in any number of counterparts. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this contract to be executed and delivered by the undersigned, being duly authorized by their respective governing bodies.

THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PREMISES AND THE COVENANTS OF EACH OTHER, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE as follows: 1. The parties hereto approve and agree to the acquisition, construction and financing of the Project as herein provided, under and pursuant to Act 342. The Municipalities by way of compliance with Section 29, Article VII, Michigan Constitution of 1963, consent and agree to the establishment and location of the Project within their corporate boundaries and to the use by the County of their streets, highways, alleys, lands, rights-of-way or other public places for the purpose and facilities of the Project and any improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof, and the Municipalities further agree that, in order to evidence and effectuate the foregoing agreement and consent, they will execute and deliver to the County such grants of easement, right-of-way, license, permit or consent as may be requested by the County. 2. The Project shall consist of the sewage disposal system facilities as described and specified in the preliminary plans set forth in Exhibit A, which is hereunto attached and is made -3- a part hereof, and which preliminary plans are on file with the County Agency and are approved and adopted. The Project shall be acquired and constructed substantially in accordance with said preliminary plans and in accordance with final plans and specifications to be prepared and submitted by the consulting engineers, but variations therefrom that do not materially change the location, capacities or overall design of the Project, and that do not require an increase in the total estimated cost of the Project, may be permitted on the authority of the County Agency. Other variations or changes may be made if approved by the County Agency and by resolution of the governing body of each Municipality and if provisions required by paragraph 5 hereof are made for payment or financing of any resulting increase in the total estimated cost. The estimate of the cost of the Project and the estimate of the period of usefulness thereof as set forth in Exhibit B are approved and adopted. 3. The County Agency shall take or cause to be taken all actions required or necessary, in accordance with Act 342, to procure the issuance and sale of bonds by the County, in one or more series, in whatever aggregate principal amount is necessary to finance that portion of the cost of the Project which is in excess of the cash payments to be made by Auburn Hills, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield as provided in paragraph 6 hereof. Such bonds shall be issued in anticipation of, and be payable primarily from, the payments to be made by Bloomfield Township to the County as provided in this contract, and shall be secured secondarily, if so voted by the Board of Commissioners of the County, by a pledge of the full faith and credit of the County, and the said bonds shall be payable in annual maturities the last of which shall be not more than forty years from the date thereof. 4. The County Agency shall proceed to take construction bids for the Project and, subject to the sale and delivery of County bonds and receipt of the cash payments to be made under this contract by Auburn Hills, Bhmingham, Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield, enter into construction contracts with the lowest responsible bidder or bidders, procure from the -4- contractors all necessary and proper bonds, cause the Project to be constructed within a reasonable time, and do all other things required by this contract and the laws of the State of Michigan. The County Agency may, in its sole discretion, retain the services of a third-party engineering firm to perform contract administration of the Project, and payment for such services shall be the responsibility of the Municipalities as part of the cost of the Project as described in paragraph 6 hereof. All certificates for required payments to contractors shall be approved by the consulting engineers before presentation to the County Agency and the latter shall be entitled to rely on such approval in making payments. 5. In the event that it shall become necessary to increase the estimated cost of the Project for any reason, or if the actual cost of the Project shall exceed the estimated cost, whether as the result of variations or changes made in the approved plans or otherwise, then the County Agency shall not be obligated to pay such increased or excess cost unless the governing body of each Municipality shall have adopted a resolution approving such increase or excess and agreeing that the same (or such part thereof as is not available from other sources) shall be defrayed by the issuance of increased or additional bonds in anticipation of increased or additional payments agreed to be made by the Municipalities to the County in the manner hereinafter provided; provided, however, that the adoption of such resolutions by the governing bodies of the Municipalities shall not be required prior to or as a condition precedent to the issuance of additional bonds by the County if the County previously has issued or contracted to sell bonds to pay part of the cost of the Project and the issuance of the additional bonds is necessary (as determined by the County) to pay such increased, additional or excess costs as are essential to completion of the Project according to the plans as last approved prior to the time when the previous bonds were issued or contracted to be sold. 6. The Municipalities shall pay to the County their respective shares of the cost of the Project. The Municipalities hereby acknowledge that, except as may be pledged by the -5- County for payment of bonds as described in paragraph 3 hereof or as may be advanced by the County pursuant to paragraph 13 hereof, no County general funds shall be appropriated or pledged pursuant to this contract or for the Project. The County's role in the Project is strictly limited to that set forth in Act 342, and the Municipalities shall be solely responsible for all administration, fmance and construction costs (including attorney fees and all dispute resolution costs), and all costs of operation and maintenance of the Project. The cost of the Project is hereby allocated to the Municipalities in accordance with the percentages and amounts set forth in Exhibit B. That portion of the cost of the Project representing the costs of issuing the bonds, including County administrative costs relating to the bonds (collectively "Issuance Costs"), shall be paid by Bloomfield Township as hereinafter provided. Auburn Hills, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield shall pay their respective shares of the cost of the Project (less Issuance Costs) to the County in cash on the date that the proceeds of the bonds are received by the County from the purchaser thereof. The balance of the cost of the Project (including Issuance Costs) will be defrayed by the issuance of the County bonds as provided in paragraphs 3 and 5 hereof. Bloomfield Township covenants and agrees to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds and all paying agency and transfer fees and other expenses and charges (including the County Agency's administrative expenses) that are payable on account of the bonds (such fees, expenses and charges being herein called "bond service charges"). The Municipalities covenant and agree to pay all costs and expenses relating to lawsuits as described in paragraph 18 hereof and all items of cost described in paragraph 7 hereof. Such payments of Bloomfield Township shall be made to the County in annual installments, which shall be due and payable at least thirty days prior to each interest payment date specified in the County bonds. Such annual installments shall commence on the date that interest (other than capitalized interest) or principal first becomes payable on the bonds, and the aggregate amount of the installments shall be at least sufficient to pay all principal and interest on the bonds, all bond service charges payable on account of the bonds and all other costs described in this paragraph. The County Agency, within thirty days after delivery of the County bonds to the purchaser, shall -6- furnish the treasurer of Bloomfield Township with a complete schedule of the principal of and interest on the bonds, and the County Agency also, at least thirty days before each payment is due, shall advise the treasurer of Bloomfield Township of the amount payable to the County on such date. If Bloomfield Township fails to make any payment to the County when due, the same shall be subject to a penalty of 1% thereof for each month or fraction thereof that such amount remains unpaid after due. Failure of the County Agency to furnish the schedule or give the notice as above required shall not excuse Bloomfield Township from the obligation to make payments when due. The foregoing obligations shall apply to all bonds issued by the County to defray the cost of the Project. Payments shall be made by Bloomfield Township when due whether or not the Project has then been completed or placed in operation. 7. The County Agency is hereby authorized, but not required, to utilize County personnel for the administration of the Project. The Municipalities agree that the costs of contract administration, auditing and financial services shall be part of the cost of the Project for purposes of paragraph 6 hereof, whether such services are provided by County personnel or third parties. In the case of County personnel, the costs attributed to the Project shall include the allocable share of such personnel's salary and fringe benefits to the Project as determined by the County Agency. 8. Bloomfield Township may pay in advance of maturity all or any part of its installment due the County on the bonds by surrendering to the County bonds issued hereunder of a like principal amount maturing in the same calendar year or by paying to the County in cash the principal amount of any County bonds that are subject to redemption prior to maturity, plus all interest thereon to the first date upon which such bonds may be called for redemption, and plus all applicable call premiums and bond service charges, and in such event the County Agency shall call said bonds for redemption at the earliest possible date. The installments or parts thereof so prepaid shall be deemed to be the installments or parts thereof falling due in the same calendar year as the maturity dates of the bonds surrendered or called for redemption. 9. The proceeds of sale of the bonds shall be used solely arid only to pay that portion of the cost of the Project allocable to Bloomfield Township, and after completion thereof and payment of all costs in connection therewith, any surplus remaining from the sale of the bonds shall be (i) used to purchase the bonds on the open market or (ii) retained by the County Agency as a reserve for payment of the bond principal and interest maturities next falling due, and in such event the contract obligations of Bloomfield Township in respect to such bonds or such maturities shall be reduced by the principal amount of bonds so purchased or of said reserve, said reduction in case of the purchase of bonds to be applied as to year in accordance with the year of the maturity of the bonds so purchased. Any bonds so purchased shall be cancelled. In the alternative, such surplus may be used, on request of Bloomfield Township and approval by the Board of Commissioners of the County, to extend, enlarge or improve the System or to acquire and construct additional sewage disposal system improvements and facilities to serve Bloomfield Township. 10. Each Municipality, pursuant to the authorization of Section 5a of Act 342, hereby pledges its full faith and credit for the prompt and timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract (which obligations, in the case of Auburn Hills, Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills and West Bloomfield, are limited to making a single cash payment to the County as provided in paragraph 6 hereof) and, subject to applicable constitutional, statutory and charter tax limitations, each year shall levy a tax in an amount that, taking into consideration estimated delinquencies in tax collections, will be sufficient to pay its obligations under this contract becoming due before the time of the following year's tax collections; provided, however, that if at the time of making its annual tax levy, the Municipality shall have on hand in cash other funds (or to its credit in the hands of the County), including special assessment funds and sewage disposal system revenues, -8- that have been set aside and pledged or are otherwise available for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the time of the next tax collection, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. The governing body of Bloomfield Township each year, at least 90 days prior to the final date provided by law or charter for the making of the annual tax levy, shall submit to the County Agency a written statement setting forth the amount of its obligations to the County that become due and payable under this contract prior to the time of the next following year's tax collections, the amount of the funds that Bloomfield Township has or will have on hand or to its credit in the hands of the County that have been set aside and pledged for payment of said obligations to the County and the amount of the taxes next proposed to be levied for the purpose of raising money to meet such obligations. The County Agency promptly shall review such statement and, if it finds that the proposed tax levy is insufficient, it shall so notify the governing body of Bloomfield Township. The County Agency agrees to use any Bloomfield Township's funds on hand with the County Agency, to the extent available, to make Bloomfield Township's payments due on this contract as directed by Bloomfield Township. Bloomfield Township hereby covenants and agrees that it will thereupon increase its levy to such extent as may be required by the County Agency. 11. In the event that a Municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the County Agency at the times herein specified the amounts herein required to be paid, the state treasurer or other official charged with the disbursement of unrestricted state funds returnable to the Municipality pursuant to the Michigan constitution is authorized hereby to withhold sufficient funds to make up any default or deficiency in funds. In the event the County is required to advance any money by reason of its pledge of full faith and credit on the bonds to be issued to finance the acquisition and construction of the Project on account of the delinquency of Bloomfield Township, the County Treasurer shall notify the state treasurer to deduct the amount of money so advanced by the County from any unrestricted moneys in the state treasurer's possession belonging to Bloomfield Township and to pay such amount to the County. In -9- addition to the foregoing, the County shall have all other rights and remedies provided by law to enforce the obligations of the Municipalities to make payments in the manner and at the times required by this contract. It is specifically recognized by Bloomfield Township that the payments required to be made by it pursuant to the terms of this contract are to be pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on bonds to be issued by the County, and Bloomfield Township covenants and agrees that it will make its required payments to the County promptly and at the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the Project herein contemplated is actually completed or placed in operation; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall limit the obligation of the County to perform in accordance with the covenants contained herein. 12. No change in the jurisdiction over any territory in any of the Municipalities shall impair in any manner the obligations of this contract or affect the obligations of the Municipalities hereunder. In the event that all or any part of the territory of any Municipality is incorporated as a new city or village or is annexed to or becomes a part of the territory of another municipality, the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is armexed shall assume the proper proportionate share of the contractual obligations (including the pledge of full faith and credit) of such Municipality, which proper proportionate share shall be fixed and determined by the County Agency and shall be binding upon all parties concerned unless, within sixty (60) days after such incorporation or annexation becomes effective, the governing body of the municipality into which such territory is incorporated or to which such territory is annexed and the governing body of such Municipality shall by mutual agreement and with the written approval of the County Agency fix and determine such proper proportionate share. The County Agency, prior to making such determination, shall receive a written recommendation as to the proper proportionate share from a committee composed of one representative designated by the governing body of such Municipality, one designated by the governing body of the new municipality or the municipality incorporating or annexing such territory and one independent registered engineer appointed by the County Agency. Each -10- governmental unit shall appoint its representative within fifteen (15) days after being notified to do so by the County Agency and within a like time the County Agency shall appoint the engineer third member. If any such representative (other than the appointee of the County Agency) is not appointed within the time above provided, then the County Agency may proceed without said recommendation. If the committee shall not make the recommendation within forty-five (45) days after its appointment or within any extension thereof by the County Agency, then the County Agency may proceed without such recommendation. 13. The County may advance funds, if approved by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of the members-elect of its Board of Commissioners (as required by Section 8 of Act 342) for administrative expenses, including engineering, legal and consulting expenses, incurred by the County Agency in the performance of its duties and powers authorized by Act 342 and for purposes of obtaining maps, plans, designs, specifications, cost estimates, rights-of-way and petinits for the Project. In such event, and to avoid paying interest on the advance, the Municipalities shall, not later than two years after the date of adoption of the resolution of the County Board of Commissioners approving such advance, reimburse the County for their respective shares of the amount of any such advance; provided, however, that (i) the County Board of Commissioners may extend the due date of such reimbursement by resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of its members-elect and (ii) the respective obligation of each Municipality shall be reduced to the extent that County bonds are issued and the proceeds thereof are used to reimburse the County for such advances. The obligations of the Municipalities to pay the amounts set forth in this paragraph are full faith and credit obligations as described in paragraph 10 hereof. The County shall have all rights and remedies provided by this contract and Act 342 and otherwise pursuant to law to enforce the obligations of the Municipalities described in this paragraph. In the event that any Municipality fails to reimburse the County for an advance made pursuant to this paragraph when due, such Municipality shall pay to the County interest on such unreimbursed amount from the date of such advance to the date of repayment at the interest rate prevailing on six-month United States Treasury Bills on the date of adoption of the resolution of the County Board of Commissioners approving the advance, to be compounded quarterly. 14. If County bonds are not sold to finance the acquisition and construction of any portion of the Project within three years from the date of this contract through no fault of the County or if the Project is abandoned for any reason, the Municipalities shall pay, or reimburse the County for the payment of, all engineering, legal and other costs and expenses incurred by the County Agency in connection with the Project in the percentages set forth in Exhibit B and the Municipalities shall be entitled to all plans, specifications and other engineering data and materials. The provisions of this paragraph may be waived or extended, either before or after the expiration of the three year period, by resolution of each of the governing bodies of the Municipalities and the Board of Commissioners of the County. 15. After completion of the Project the operation and maintenance of the Project shall be in accordance with applicable agreements between the County and the Municipalities. 16. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the System is to serve the Municipalities and not the individual property owners and users thereof, unless by special arrangement between the County Agency and the Municipalities. The responsibility of requiring connection to and use of the System and/or providing such additional facilities as may be needed shall be that of the Municipality wherein such property is located and such Municipality shall cause to be constructed and maintained, directly or through the County, any such necessary additional facilities. The County shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities other than those designated in paragraph 2 hereof. 17. The County shall have no obligation or responsibility for providing facilities except as herein expressly provided with respect to the acquisition and construction of the -12- Project or as otherwise provided by contract. The Municipalities shall have the authority and the responsibility to provide such other facilities and shall have the right to expand the facilities of the System by constructing or extending sewers or related facilities, connecting the same to the System, and otherwise improving the System. It is expressly agreed, nevertheless, that no such connection shall be made to the System and no improvements, enlargements or extensions thereof shall be made without first securing a permit therefor from the County. Any such petmit may be made conditional upon inspection and approval of new construction by the County. 18. The parties hereto agree that the costs and expenses of any lawsuits or Claims (as hereinafter defined) arising directly or indirectly out of this contract or the construction or financing of the Project, to the extent that such costs and expenses are chargeable against the County or the County Agency, shall be deemed to constitute a part of the cost of the Project and shall be paid by the Municipalities in the same manner as herein provided with respect to other costs of the Project. In the event of such litigation or claims, the County Agency shall consult with the Municipalities and shall retain legal counsel agreeable to the County and the Municipalities to represent the County; provided that if the County and the Municipalities cannot agree as to such representation within a reasonable time, the County Agency shall exercise its discretion as to the retention of such counsel. In this contract, "Claims" means any alleged losses, claims, complaints, demands for relief or damages, liability, penalties, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, reimbursement for reasonable attorney fees, witness fees, court costs, investigation expenses, litigation expenses, amounts paid in settlement, and/or other amounts or liabilities of any kind which are imposed on, incurred by, or assessed against the County, County Agency or Municipalities, or for which the County, County Agency or Municipalities may become legally and/or contractually obligated to pay or defend against, whether direct, indirect or consequential, whether based upon any alleged violation of the federal or the State constitution, any federal or State statute, rule, regulation, or any alleged violation of federal or State common law, whether any such claims are brought in law or equity, tort, -13- contract, or otherwise, and/or whether commenced or threatened. This paragraph shall not apply to a lawsuit instituted by any of the Municipalities to enforce their respective rights under this contract. 19. All powers, duties and functions vested by this contract in the County shall be exercised and performed by the County Agency, for and on behalf of the County, unless otherwise provided by law or in this contract. 20. The parties hereto recognize that the holders from time to time of the bonds to be issued by the County under the provisions of Act 342, and secured by the full faith and credit pledge of Bloomfield Township to the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds as set forth in this contract, will have contractual rights in this contract, and it is therefore covenanted and agreed that so long as any of said bonds shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the provisions of this contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision that would affect adversely either the security of the bonds or the prompt payment of principal or interest thereon. The right to make changes in this contract, by amendment, supplemental contract or otherwise is nevertheless reserved insofar as the same do not have such adverse effect. The parties hereto further covenant and agree that they each will 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 that would impair in any way the contract of said bonds, the security therefor or the prompt payment of principal and interest thereon. It is declared hereby that the terms of this contract and of any amendatory or supplemental contract and any contract entered into pursuant hereto, insofar as they pertain to said bonds or to the payment of the security thereof, shall be deemed to be for the benefit of the holders of said bonds. 21. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this contract for any reason shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or -14- unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof, but this contract shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 22. This contract shall become effective after its execution by each party hereto and the expiration of 45 days after the date of publication of the notice required by Section 5b of Act 342; provided, however, that if, within the 45-day period, a proper petition is filed with the Clerk of any Municipality in accordance with the provisions of Section 5b of Act 342, this contract shall not become effective until approved by the vote of a majority of the electors residing in such Municipality qualified to vote and voting thereon at a general or special election. This contract shall terminate forty (40) years from its date or on such earlier date when the Municipalities are not in default hereunder and the principal, interest and bond service charges on the bonds issued as hereinabove described and all other amounts owed by the Municipalities to the County hereunder are fully paid and discharged. This contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing herein contained, however, shall require the County to finance the Project if it is unable to sell the bonds to finance the same. This contract may be executed in any number of counterparts. ff WITNESS WI-II-REOF, the parties hereto have caused this contract to be executed and delivered by the undersigned, being duly authorized by their respective governing bodies.
