the county in the aggregate principal amount of the net cost of the project as determined or estimated
at the time or times of such issuance. Each municipality hereby covenants and agrees to pay its pro-
portionate share of the principal of and interest on said bonds so issued, which proportionate share
shall be determined by applying to the payments of bond principal and interest becoming due as hereinafter
provided, the percentages set forth in this paragraph. In addition each municipality hereby covenants and
agrees to pay its share of all paying agent fees and other charges necessary to service said bonds (herein
called bond services charges) as shall be incurred from time to time by the county.
Immediately upon the issuance of bonds by the county to finance the net cost of the project, or
any portion thereof, the drain commissioner shall notify each municipality above listed, by written
communication addressed to their respective treasurers, of the schedule of payments of the principal of
and interest thereon, the proportionate share thereof to be paid by each municipality, and the amount of

funds to meet its proportionate share of said payments in full.
If one or more of the above listed municipalities should pay its share of the net cost of the
project, or any portion thereof, prior to the issuance of the bonds, then all percentages shall be
adjusted accordingly so that when applied to the principal of the bonds issued, such percentages after
taking into consideration advance payments will reflect the division of the cost of the project as herein
provided. Any municipality may pay in advance of maturity all or any part of an annual 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, with all future due interest coupons attached thereto.
7. In the event that any municipality shall fail for any reason to pay to the drain commissioner
as agency for the county at the times specified, the amounts herein required to be paid for the principal
and interest on bonds or bond service charges, the drain commissioner shall immediately notify, in writing
• both the County Treasurer of the County of Oakland and the governing body of such municipality of such
default and the amount thereof, and if such default is not corrected within ten (10) days after such

of funds derived from the state sales tax levy under the provisions of Act 167, Public Acts of Michigan
1933, as amended, and returnable to such municipality pursuant to the Michigan Constitution, is by these
presents specifically authorized by such municipality to withhold sufficient funds (but in no event in an
amount in excess of 25% of the amount of default) derived from such sales tax levy and returnable to such
municipality as may be in default, and to pay said sums so withheld to the drain commissioner to apply on
the obligation of such defaulting municipality as herein set forth. Any such moneys so withheld and paid
shall be considered to have been returned to such municipality within the meaning of the Michigan Consti-
tution, the purpose of this provision being solely to voluntarily authorize the use of such funds to meet
past due obligations of the municipalities to which said moneys are owed. In addition to the foregoing,
the drain commissioner as agency for 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 each of the municipalities that the payments required

the times herein specified, without regard as to whether the project herein contemplated is actually
completed or placed in operation; provided, only that nothing herein contained shall limit the obligation
of the county to perform in accordance with the provision of this contract.
8. If any municipality shall fail to make any of its principal and interest or bond service
charge payments as required by the provisions of this contract, when due, the amount thereof shall be
subject to a penalty of three-quarters of one per cent (3/4 of I%) for each month or fraction thereof
that the same remains unpaid after the due date.

project, and after completion thereof and payments of costs in connection therewith, any surplus remain-
ing from the sale of the bonds shall be (I) used to purchase the bonds on the open market or (2) retained
by the county as a reserve for payment of the bond principal and interest maturities next falling due,
and in such event the contract obligation of each municipality in respect to such bonds or such maturities
shall be reduced by its percentage as specified in paragraph 6 of this contract), of 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 canceled.
If the proceeds of the sale of the original bonds are for any reason insufficient to complete
the project in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor, the drain commissioner shall, if
necessary, submit to the Board of Supervisors of Oakland County a resolution providing for the issuance
of additional bonds in an amount necessary to complete the project in which event the duties and obli-
gations of the county agency and the municipalities as expressed and set forth in paragraphs 3 and 6 of

timely payment of its obligations expressed in this contract and shall each year, commencing the year

HOWEVER, that if at the time of making such annual tax levy there shall be other funds on hand earmarked
and set aside for the payment of such contractual obligations falling due prior to the next tax collection
period, then the annual tax levy may be reduced by such amount. Such other funds may be raised in any
manner permitted by law.
11. This contract is contingent upon the county issuing its negotiable bonds, as set forth in
paragraph 3 and paragraph 9 of this contract, to defray the estimated net cost of the project, which

and unpaid, the provisions of this contract shall not be subject to any alteration or revision which

interest thereon. The municipalities and the drain commissioner further covenant and agree that they
will each 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 which would in

thereon. It is hereby declared that the terms of this contract insofar as they pertain to the security

binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
