If the Notes are issued and sold before the Treasurer has received certification from the taxing units of the amount of the Delinquent Taxes and if such certification is not reasonably anticipated in time to allow distribution of the proceeds of the Notes within 20 days after the date of issue, a 2004 Delinquent lax Project Account (the "Project Account") shall be established by the Treasurer as a separate and distinct fund of the County within its general fund. The Project Account shall receive all proceeds from the sale of the Notes, including any premium or accrued interest received at the time of sale. The Project Account shall be held in trust by an escrow agent until the monies therein ere disbursed in accordance with this Article VII. The escrow agent shall be a commercial bank, shall be located in Michigan, shall have authority to exercise trust powers, and shall have a net worth in excess of $25,000,000. The form and content of the agreement between the County and the escrow agent shall be approved by the Treasurer. Subject to the following sentence, monies deposited in the Project Account shall be expended only (i) for the purpose of funding the Tax Payment Account established under Section 702 and (ii) to the extent permitted by Act 206, for the purpose of paying the expenses of the offering of the Notes. In the event the Treasurer by written order so directs, additional funding of the Project Account may be undertaken, and any surplus proceeds remaining in the Project Account after the Treasurer has completed the funding of the Tax Payment Account may be transferred to either the 2004 Note Reserve Account created under Section 703 or the 2004 Note Payment Account created under Section 704. Monies in the Project Account may be disbursed by the escrow agent to the County's 2004 Tax Payment Account at any time and from time to time, upon receipt of a written requisition signed by the Treasurer. 702. 2004 Tax Payment Account. The County's 2004 Tax Payment Account (the "Tax Payment Account") is hereby established as a distinct account within the Revolving Fund. The Treasurer shall designate all or a portion of the proceeds of the Notes, not to exceed the amount of Delinquent Taxes, for deposit in the Tax Payment Account. If, however, the proceeds of the Notes are initially deposited in the Project Account pursuant to Section 701, the Treasurer is instead authorized and directed to transfer monies included in the Project Account in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 701. The County shall apply the monies in the Tax Payment Account to the payment of the Delinquent Taxes or expenses of the borrowing in accordance with Act 206. The allocation of monies from the Tax Payment Account may be made pursuant to a single, comprehensive disbursement or may instead be made from time to time, within the time constraints of Act 206, to particular taxing units as monies are paid into the Tax Payment Account, such that the source of the monies 0whether from the County's own funds, from the proceeds of a tax exempt borrowing or from the proceeds of a taxable borrowing) may be traced to the particular taxing unit receiving the funds. Moreover, and regardless of whether multiple series of Notes are issued, the Tax Payment Account may be divided into separate sub-accounts in order to allow the Treasurer to designate which taxing units shall receive borrowed funds and which shall receive funds otherwise contributed by the County. 703. 2004 Note Reserve Account. :n the event funding is provided as described in this Section 703, the Treasurer shall establish a 2004 Note Reserve Account (the "Note Reserve Account") as a distinct account within the Revolving Fund. After depositing all of the monies to fund the Tax Payment Account pursuant to Section 702, the Treasurer shall next transfer to the Note Reserve Account, either from the Project Account or directly from the proceeds of Notes, any proceeds remaining from the initial issuance of the Notes. In addition, the Treasurer may transfer unpledged monies from other County sources to the Note Reserve Account in an amount which, when added to any other amounts to be deposited in the Note Reserve Account, does not exceed the amount reasonably required for the Notes secured by the Reserve Account or, if less, 20% of the total amount of the Notes secured by the Reserve Account. Except as provided below, all monies in the Note Reserve Account shall be used solely for payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the extent that monies required for such payment are not available in the County's 2004 Note Payment Account. Monies in the Note Reserve Account shall be withdrawn first for payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes befOre County general funds are used to make the payments. All income or interest earned by, or increment to, the Note Reserve Account due to its investment or reinvestment shall be deposited in the Note Reserve Account. When the Note Reserve Account is sufficient to retire the Notes and accrued interest thereon, the Treasurer may order that the Note Reserve Account be used to purchase the Notes on the market, or, if the Notes are not available, to retire the Notes when due. If so ordered by the Treasurer, all or any specified portion of the Note Reserve Account may be applied toward the redemption of any Notes designated for redemption in accordance with Section 209. 704. 2004 Note Payment Account. (a) The County's 2004 Note Payment Account is hereby established as a distinct account within the Revolving Fund. The County's 2004 Note Payment Account, as supplemented by monies held in any interim account that are designated for transfer to the 2004 Note Payment Account, is herein referred to as the "Note Payment Account".) The Treasurer is directed to deposit into the Note Payment Account, promptly on receipt, those amounts described below in Paragraphs (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) that are not excluded pursuant to Subsection (c) below. Furthermore, the Treasurer may, by written order, deposit into the Note Payment Account all or any portion of the amounts described below in Paragraph (iii). (i) All Delinquent Taxes. (ii) All statutory interest on the Delinquent Taxes. (iii) All property tax administration fees on the Delinquent Taxes, net of any amounts applied toward the expenses of this borrowing. (iv) Any amounts that are received by the Treasurer from the taxing units within the County because of the uncollectability of the Delinquent Taxes. (v) Any amounts remaining in the Project Account after the transfers to the Tax Payment Account and Note Reserve Account have been made as specified in Sections 702 and 703. (b) Monies in the Note Payment Account shall be used by the County to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as the same become due and payable. (c)(i; The Treasurer may by written order provide that only a portion of the sums described above in Subsection (a) shall be deposited into the Note Payment Account and applied toward the payment of debt service on the Notes, in which event those sums which are withheld from the Note Payment Account shall be deposited into the Tax Payment Account or, pursuant to further order of the Treasurer, applied toward any other purpOse consistent with Act 206. The portion of any sums described in Subsection (a) which are withheld from the Note Payment Account pursuant to this Subsection shall be determined in accordance with the following Paragraph. (ii) Prior to the issuance of the Notes, the Treasurer may by written order specify a cut-off date not earlier than March 1, 2004, and only those sums payable to the Note Payment Account and received by the County after the cut-off date shall be applied to the Note Payment Account. (d) The Treasurer may by written order provide that at such time as sufficient funds shall have been deposited into the Note Payment Account to pay all remaining amounts owed under the Notes the pledge on any additional monies otherwise payable to the Note Payment Account shall be discharged and such monies shall not be deposited into the Note Payment Account or otherwise pledged toward payment of the Notes. (e) The Treasurer may by written order provide that in the event Notes are issued pursuant to Article amounts that would otherwise be included in the Note Payment Account or the Note Reserve Account (or any sub-account therein for a particular series of Notes) shall not include any amounts received by the County prior to the latest maturity date of any series of Notes previously issued under Article 1 and/or Article III. 705. Limited Tax General Obligation and Pledge. (a) The Notes shall be the general obligation of the County, backed by the County's full faith and credit, the County's tax obligation (within applicable constitutional and statutory limits) and the County's general funds. The County budqet shall provide that if the pledged monies are not collected in sufficient amounts to meet the payments of the principal and interest due on the Notes, the County, before paying any other budgeted amounts, shall promptly advance from its general funds sufficient monies to pay such principal and interest. (b) In addition, the monies listed below are pledged to the repayment of the Notes and, subject to Section 901, shall be used solely for repayment of the Notes until the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes are paid in full: (i) All amounts deposited or earned in any Project Account, until disbursed in accordance with Section 701; (ii) All net proceeds from the sale of the Notes deposited or earned in the Tax Payment Account, until disburSed in accordance with Section 702; (iii) All amounts deposited in the Note Payment Account pursuant to Section 704(a); (iv) All amounts deposited in the Note Reserve Account; (v) All amounts earned from the investment Of monies held in the Note Payment Account or the Note Reserve Account; and (vi) Any supplemental monies placed in the Note Payment Account and drawn in the discretion of the Treasurer from unpledged sums on the revolving funds, which pledge shall be subject to such limitations or exceptions as shall be set forth in the written order of the Treasurer. (o) If the Notes shall be issued in various series pursuant to Article V, this pledge shall in the case of any independently secured series extend only to monies in accounts or sub-accounts pertaining to the particular series. (d) If the amounts so pledged are not sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due, the County shall pay the same from its general funds or other available sources. Pursuant to written order of the Treasurer, the County may later reimburse itself for such payments from the Delinquent Taxes collected. 706. Security for Renewal, Refunding or Advance Refunding Notes. Renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes shall be secured by all or any portion of the same security securing the Notes being renewed, refunded or advance refunded. The monies pledged in Section 105 for the repayment of the Notes are also pledged for the repayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes issued pursuant to this Resolution, and any such renewal, refunding, or advance refunding Notes shall be the general obligation of the County, backed by its full faith and credit, which shall include the tax obligation of the County, within applicable constitutional and statutory limits. 707. Use of Funds after Full Payment or Provisions for Payment. After all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes have been paid in full or provision made therefor by investments of pledged amounts in direct noncallable obligations of the United States of America in amounts and with maturities sufficient to pay all such principal, premium, if any, and interest when due, any further collection of Delinquent Taxes and all excess monies in any fund or account of the Revolving Fund, and any interest or income on any such amounts, may, pursuant to written order of the Treasurer and subject to Article V. be used for any proper purpose within the Revolving Fund including the securing of subsequent issues of notes. VIII. SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS 801. Supplemental Agreements and Documents.

ARTICLE X. TAX-EXEMPT NOTES OR REFUNDING 1001. Refunding of Taxable Debt or Issuance of Tax-Exempt Debt. The County acknowledges that the current state of Federal law precludes the issuance of the Notes as obligations the interest on which is exempt from Federal income tax. However, the County presently contemplates that anticipated amendments to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and/or the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder (the "Regulations") or .a change in Michigan law changing the character of the Notes may in the future permit :he issuance of general obligation limited tax notes on a tax-exempt basis, and, in view of this expectation, the County, through the offices of the Treasurer, shall issue tax-exempt notes or issue obligations to refund any or all outstanding Notes issued as taxable obligations, at the time, on the terms, and to the extent set forth in this Article X. 1002.

Extent of Refunding. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 1003, the Refunding Notes shall refund all Notes outstanding at or after the effective date of any change in the law described in Section 1002. This Section 1003 shall not, however, be construed to require the refunding of any Note prior to the time such Note may be refunded on a tax-exempt basis, nor shall this Section 1003 be construed to require the refunding of any Note, if that refunding would result in greater cost to the County (including interest expense, professional fees and administrative outiays than would arise if the Note were to remain outstanding. 1004. Confirmatory Action. Subseaucnt to any change in the law described in Section 1002, the Board shall convene to consider any terms of the Refunding Bonds requiring specific ratification by the Board. 1005.
