The undersigned, Cranbrook Educational Community, a Michigan nonprofit corporation
(the "Company"), hereby certifies to The Economic Development Corporation of the County of

belief, only after thorough investigation and discussion with all owners of the Company and
others who might have knowledge regarding the subject matter.
2. The Company acknowledges that this Certificate will be employed by the EDC as
the sole basis for the EDC's certification to the Board of Commissioners of the County of

Corporations Act, Act No. 338 of the Michigan Public Acts of 1974, as amended (the "Act").
