WHEREAS once the Authority has acquired the Project the County wishes to sublease part of it to the
City pursuant to the terms of this Sublease; and
WHEREAS the County and City agree that the Project may be used for homeland security events as set

FOLLOWS:
1. Authorization and Issuance of Bonds. The County intends to cause the Authority to issue its
building authority bonds in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $1,120,000 (the
"Bonds") for the purpose of defraying part or all of the cost of the Project. The Bonds are to be
dated August 1, 2010 or the first day of any later month in 2010 or 2011 and bear interest at a
rate that will result in a net interest cost of not to exceed 8% per annum. Interest shall be payable
semi-annually on 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 APPENDIX B to
this Sublease. 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 City recognize and acknowledge that (a) such Debt Retirement Schedule is
based upon an assumed interest rate and date of issuance of the Bonds and assumed Bond
Payment Dates, all as set forth in APPENDIX 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
Sublease will be determined (subject to the limitations expressed in the preceding paragraph of

application of the rate or rates of interest (that will result in a net interest cost not exceeding 8%
annum) actually borne by the Bonds.
The Bonds shall be sold subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the Authority and
at the direction of the City Manager. The Authority agrees that upon request of the City it shall
redeem the Bonds; provided the City has deposited or will deposit sufficient money to permit such
redemption with the Authority prior to calling the Bonds.
In the event that for any reason after the date upon which this Sublease is executed, but before
the Bonds have been issued, it appears to the County and the City that the part of the Project to
be paid by Bond proceeds can be accomplished for less than $1,120,000, the County shall cause
the Authority to 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 shall direct and as approved by the City
Manager.
2. Acquisition of Project. The Authority will acquire the Project from the City of Keego Harbor by
Warranty Deed.

will be determined as follows:

b. The actual amount of Bond Proceeds deposited with the PNC Bank National Association to
retire in full the City of Keego Harbor’s Loan No. 604309662 due to PNC Bank National
Association.

done on the Project, the County shall cause the City to require any contractor or sub-contractors
for the Project to furnish all necessary bonds guaranteeing performance and all labor and
material bonds and all owners protective, workers' compensation, general liability, and
