If the Original Purchaser shall so request, the Notes may be issued as a single fully registered Note with (i) multiple maturities of principal in amounts equal to the principal amounts of Notes stated to mature or be payable pursuant to Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements on the respective Principal Payment Dates or (ii) with Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption

; provided that, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 1 and 2 and this Section 3 and in Section 133.24(C) of the Revised Code, the amount of principal maturing or subject to Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements on any one or more of the Principal Payment Dates may be increased or decreased as may be specified by the President of this Board and the Treasurer in the Certificate of Award if, in their judgment, it is advantageous and in the best interest of the School District to make any such adjustment.

Consistently with the foregoing and in accordance with their determination of the

best interest of and financial advantages to the School District, the President of this Board and the Treasurer shall specify in the Certificate of Award (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be issued as Serial Notes, the Principal Payment Dates on which those Notes shall be stated to mature and the principal amount thereof that shall be stated to mature on each such Principal Payment Date, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be issued as Term Notes, the Principal Payment Date or Dates on which those

Notes shall be stated to mature, the principal amount thereof that shall be stated to mature on each such Principal Payment Date, the Principal Payment Date or Dates on which Term Notes shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption (Mandatory Redemption Dates) and the principal amount thereof that shall be payable pursuant to Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements on each Mandatory Redemption Date.

(c) Conditions for Establishment of Interest Rates and Principal Payment Dates

and Amounts. The rate or rates of interest per year to be borne by the Notes, and the


principal amount of the Notes maturing or payable pursuant to Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements on each Principal Payment Date, shall be such that either (i) the total principal and interest payments on the Notes in any fiscal year in which principal is payable is substantially equal to the amount of those payments in any other such fiscal year or (ii) the principal payments on the Notes are substantially equal. The weighted average of the rate or rates of interest per year to be borne by the Notes, determined by taking into account the respective principal amounts of the Notes and terms to maturity or mandatory sinking fund redemption, as applicable, of those principal amounts of Notes, shall not exceed 3.5% per year.

(d) Redemption Provisions. Unless otherwise specified by the President of this

Board and the Treasurer in the Certificate of Award, consistently with their determination of the best interest of and financial advantages to the School District, the Notes shall be subject to redemption prior to stated maturity as follows:

(i) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption of Term Notes. If any of the

Notes are issued as Term Notes, the Term Notes shall be subject to mandatory redemption in part by lot and be redeemed pursuant to mandatory sinking fund requirements at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, on the applicable Mandatory Redemption Dates and in the principal amounts payable on those Dates, for which provision is made in the Certificate of Award (such Dates and amounts, the Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements).

The aggregate of the moneys to be deposited with the Note Registrar for

payment of principal of and interest on the Notes on each Mandatory Redemption Date shall include an amount sufficient to redeem on that Date the principal amount of Term Notes payable on that Date pursuant to Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements (less the amount of any credit as hereinafter provided).

The School District shall have the option to deliver to the Note Registrar for

cancellation Term Notes in any aggregate principal amount and to receive a credit against the then current or any subsequent Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirement (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation) of the School District, as specified by the Treasurer, for Term Notes stated to mature on the same Principal Payment Date as the Term Notes so delivered. That option shall be exercised by the School District on or before the 45th day preceding any Mandatory Redemption Date with respect to which the School District wishes to obtain a credit, by furnishing the Note Registrar a certificate, signed by the Treasurer, setting forth the extent of the credit to be applied with respect to the then current or any subsequent Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirement for Term Notes stated to mature on the same Principal Payment Date. If the certificate is not timely furnished to the Note Registrar, the then current Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirement (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation) shall not be reduced. A credit against the then current or any subsequent Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirement (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation), as specified by the Treasurer, also shall be received by the School District for any Term Notes that prior thereto have been redeemed (other than through operation of applicable Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements) or purchased for cancellation and canceled by the Note Registrar, to the extent not applied theretofore as a credit against any Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirement, for Term Notes stated to mature on the same Principal Payment Date as the Term Notes so redeemed or purchased and canceled.


Each Term Note so delivered, or previously redeemed, or purchased and

canceled, shall be credited by the Note Registrar at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the then current or subsequent Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption Requirements (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligations), as specified by the Treasurer, for Term Notes stated to mature on the same Principal Payment Date as the Term Notes so delivered or purchased and canceled.

(ii) Optional Redemption. The Notes maturing on or after December 1,

2024 shall be subject to redemption, by and at the sole option of the School District, either in whole or in part (in whole multiples of $5,000), on any date on or after December 1, 2023, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

Notes to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph shall be redeemed only

upon written notice from the Treasurer to the Note Registrar, given upon the direction of this Board by adoption of a resolution. That notice shall specify the redemption date and the principal amount of Notes of each maturity to be redeemed and shall be given at least 45 days prior to the redemption date or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Note Registrar.

(iii) Partial Redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Notes are

called for optional redemption at one time and Notes of more than one maturity are then outstanding, the Notes that are called shall be Notes of the maturity or maturities selected by the School District. If fewer than all of the Notes of a single maturity are to be redeemed, the selection of Notes of that maturity to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any whole multiple thereof, shall be made by the Note Registrar by lot in a manner determined by the Note Registrar. In the case of a partial redemption of Notes by lot when Notes of denominations greater than $5,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of principal thereof shall be treated as if it were a separate Note of the denomination of $5,000. If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the $5,000 units of principal amount represented by a Note are to be called for redemption, then, upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered owner of that Note shall surrender the Note to the Note Registrar (A) for payment of the redemption price of the $5,000 unit or units of principal amount called for redemption (including, without limitation, the interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any premium), and (B) for issuance, without charge to the registered owner, of a new Note or Notes of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date as, the Note surrendered.

(iv) Notice of Redemption. The notice of the call for redemption of

Notes shall identify (A) by designation, letters, numbers or other distinguishing marks, the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, (B) the redemption price to be paid, (C) the date fixed for redemption, and (D) the place or places where the amounts due upon redemption are payable. The notice shall be given by the Note Registrar on behalf of the School District by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered owner of each Note subject to redemption in whole or in part at the registered owner’s address shown on the Note Register maintained by the Note Registrar at the close of business on the 15th day


preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice by mail or any defect in that notice regarding any Note, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a single Term Note is issued in accordance with

this Section, so long as the Original Purchaser is the registered owner of the Note, mandatory redemptions shall be made in accordance with the schedule set forth on that Term Note and no further notice of such redemptions shall be required to be provided to the Original Purchaser.

(v) Payment of Redeemed Notes. In the event that notice of

redemption shall have been given by the Note Registrar to the registered owners as provided above, there shall be deposited with the Note Registrar on or prior to the redemption date, moneys that, in addition to any other moneys available therefor and held by the Note Registrar, will be sufficient to redeem at the redemption price thereof, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, all of the redeemable Notes for which notice of redemption has been given. Notice having been mailed or otherwise given in a manner provided in the preceding paragraph hereof, the Notes and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date, and, subject to the provisions of Section 5, upon presentation and surrender thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest to the redemption date. If moneys for the redemption of all of the Notes and portions thereof to be redeemed, together with accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, are held by the Note Registrar on the redemption date, so as to be available therefor on that date and, if notice of redemption has been deposited in the mail or otherwise given as aforesaid, then from and after the redemption date those Notes and portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and no longer shall be considered to be outstanding. If those moneys shall not be so available on the redemption date, or that notice shall not have been deposited in the mail or otherwise given as aforesaid, those Notes and portions thereof shall continue to bear interest, until they are paid, at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption. All moneys held by the Note Registrar for the redemption of particular Notes shall be held in trust for the account of the registered owners thereof and shall be paid to them, respectively, upon presentation and surrender of those Notes or as otherwise provided in Section 5 for the payment of principal and interest, provided that any interest earned on the moneys so held by the Note Registrar shall be for the account of and paid to the School District to the extent not required for the payment of the Notes called for redemption.

Section 4. Execution and Authentication of Notes. The Notes shall be signed

by the President or Vice President of this Board and by the Treasurer, in the name of the School District and in their official capacities, provided that either or both of such signatures may be a facsimile; and shall express upon their faces the purpose, in summary terms, for which they are issued and that they are issued pursuant to this Resolution, the Certificate of Award and the provisions of Sections 133.24 and 5705.21 of the Revised Code. The Notes shall be numbered as determined by the President of this Board and the Treasurer.

The Treasurer is hereby appointed to act as the initial paying agent, note registrar,

authenticating agent and transfer agent (herein referred to collectively as the "Note Registrar") for the Notes. No Note shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any security or benefit under the Note proceedings unless and until the certificate


of authentication printed on the Note is signed by the Note Registrar as authenticating agent. Authentication by the Note Registrar shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly issued, signed and delivered under, and is entitled to the security and benefit of, the Note proceedings.

Section 5. Payment of Debt Charges. The debt charges on the Notes shall be

payable in lawful money of the United States of America without deduction for the services of the Note Registrar as paying agent. Principal of the Notes shall be payable when due upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office of the Note Registrar. Interest on a Note shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date by check or draft mailed to the person in whose name the Note was registered, and to that person’s address appearing, on the Note Register at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month next preceding that Interest Payment Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a single Serial Note with multiple maturities of principal in amounts equal to the principal amounts of Notes stated to mature on the respective Principal Payment Dates or a single Term Note is issued in accordance with the provisions this Section 3, principal and interest shall be payable upon presentation of the Note to the Note Registrar for the proper endorsement of such payments (and surrender upon final payment) or in such other manner as may be agreed upon by the Treasurer, in the name and on behalf of the School District and as the Note Registrar, and the Original Purchaser, including without limitation, so long as the Original Purchaser is the registered owner of the Note, payment of (i) the principal of the Notes payable on each Principal Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Original Purchaser, without presentation or surrender thereof, to an account in the United States as the Original Purchaser will direct in writing to the Note Registrar, provided that in connection with the payment of the final installment of principal of the Notes, the Original Purchaser shall present and surrender its Note at the office of the Note Registrar, and (ii) interest on payable the Notes on each Interest Payment Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Original Purchaser to an account in the United States as the Original Purchaser will direct in writing to the Note Registrar.

Section 6. Registration; Transfer and Exchange. So long as any of the Notes

remain outstanding, the School District will cause the Note Registrar to maintain and keep the Note Register at his office. Subject to the other provisions of this Section, the person in whose name a Note is registered on the Note Register shall be regarded as the absolute owner of that Note for all purposes of the Note proceedings. Payment of or on account of the debt charges on any Note shall be made only to or upon the order of that person; neither the School District nor the Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary, but the registration may be changed as provided in this Section. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the School District’s liability upon the Note, including interest, to the extent of the amount or amounts so paid.

Any Note may be exchanged for Notes of any Authorized Denomination upon

presentation and surrender at the office of the Note Registrar, together with a request for exchange signed by the registered owner or by a person legally empowered to do so, in a form satisfactory to the Note Registrar. A Note may be transferred only on the Note Register upon presentation and surrender of the Note at the office of the Note Registrar, together with an assignment signed by the registered owner or by a person legally empowered to do so, in a form satisfactory to the Note Registrar. Upon exchange or transfer the Note Registrar shall complete, authenticate and deliver a new Note or Notes of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations requested by the registered owner equal


in the aggregate to the unmatured principal amount of the Note surrendered and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date.

If manual signatures on behalf of the School District are required, the Note

Registrar shall undertake the exchange or transfer of Notes only after the new Notes are signed by the authorized officers of this Board on behalf of the School District. In all cases of Notes exchanged or transferred, the School District shall sign and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Notes in accordance with the provisions of the Note proceedings. The exchange or transfer shall be without charge to the registered owner, except that the School District and Note Registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse them for any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the exchange or transfer. The School District or the Note Registrar may require that those charges, if any, be paid before the procedure is begun for the exchange or transfer. All Notes issued and authenticated upon any exchange or transfer shall be valid obligations of the School District, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same security and benefit under the Note proceedings, as the Notes surrendered upon that exchange or transfer. Neither the School District nor the Note Registrar shall be required to make any exchange or transfer of (i) Notes then subject to call for redemption between the 15th day preceding the mailing of notice of Notes to be redeemed and the date of that mailing, or (ii) any Note selected for redemption, in whole or in part.

Section 7. Award and Sale of the Notes; Application of Proceeds.

(a) To the Original Purchaser. The Notes shall be awarded and sold by the President of this Board and the Treasurer to the Original Purchaser at private sale at a purchase price not less than 97% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued interest on the Notes from their date to the Closing Date, all as shall be specified in the Certificate of Award, and with and upon such other terms as are required or authorized by this Resolution to be specified in the Certificate of Award, in accordance with law and the provisions of this Resolution.

The President of this Board and the Treasurer shall sign and deliver the Certificate

of Award and shall cause the Notes to be prepared and signed and delivered, together with a true transcript of proceedings with reference to the issuance of the Notes, to the Original Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price. The President, Vice President and the Treasurer of this Board, the Superintendent of Schools and other School District officials, as appropriate, each are authorized and directed to sign any transcript certificates, financial statements and other commitments, documents and instruments and to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Resolution.

(b) Application of the Proceeds. Any portion of the proceeds of the Notes

representing premium and accrued interest shall be paid into the Bond Retirement Fund and credited to the account provided for in Section 11 of this Resolution. The balance of the proceeds of the Notes shall be paid into the same fund into which the proceeds of the Tax Levy (other than any proceeds to be applied to pay principal of and interest on the Notes) will be paid and shall be used only for the purpose for which the Tax Levy is levied.


Section 8. Financing Costs. The expenditure of the amounts necessary to pay financing costs (as defined in Section 133.01 of the Revised Code) in connection with the Notes is authorized and approved, and the Treasurer is authorized to provide for the payment of any such costs from the proceeds of the Notes to the extent available and otherwise from any other funds lawfully available that are appropriated or shall be appropriated for that purpose.

Section 9. Provision for Tax Levy. The Tax Levy shall be and is hereby levied on all taxable property in the School District. The Tax Levy shall be computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax list and duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same times that all taxes for general purposes for each of the years the Tax Levy runs are certified, extended and collected. The Tax Levy is a direct tax during the period the Notes will be outstanding, and is in an amount at least sufficient to provide funds to pay the debt charges on the Notes as they come due and therefore is not less than the interest and sinking fund tax required by Section 11 of Article XII of the Ohio Constitution.

This Board covenants that it will levy the Tax Levy for collection in each of the years

after 2015 during which the Notes are outstanding to the maximum extent permitted and required to pay the debt charges on the Notes when and as the same fall due, and that, in accordance with law, the Tax Levy to such extent and for such period has been and shall clearly be required by each annual tax budget of this Board which shall properly be advertised, adopted and filed. The proceeds of the Tax Levy are to be applied to the extent required to the payment of the debt charges on the Notes as they come due. The amounts of the annual proceeds of the Tax Levy required to pay those debt charges in each year are, pursuant to law and particularly Section 133.24 of the Revised Code, deemed to be appropriated for that purpose from the proceeds of the Tax Levy in that year; this Board covenants that it will give effect to that appropriation, to the extent stated above, in resolutions it hereafter adopts appropriating money for expenditure or encumbrance each of the fiscal years in which debt charges on the Notes are payable.

Section 10. Separate Warrants for Tax Levy Distributions. This Board requests

the Lorain County Auditor to draw and issue at the time of each distribution (by advance, settlement or otherwise) to the School District of the proceeds of the Tax Levy (taking into account any payments from the State pursuant to Sections 321.24(F) and 323.156 of the Revised Code) after the date of issuance of the Notes, a separate warrant for payment into the Bond Retirement Fund to include that portion of that distribution needed to ensure payment of the debt charges on the Notes as the same fall due, and to draw and issue a separate warrant for payment into the fund for the Tax Levy for the balance of such distribution. The portion of each distribution to be included in a separate warrant for payment into the Bond Retirement Fund shall be the product of the total amount of that distribution multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of principal of and interest on the Notes payable in the then calendar year and the denominator of which is the total estimated net amount of the proceeds from the Tax Levy distributed and to be distributed by the County Auditor to this School District during that calendar year and prior to December 1 in that calendar year. The portion of the last distribution prior to each Interest Payment Date to be so included in a separate warrant for payment into the Bond Retirement Fund shall be in the amount certified to the County Auditor by the Treasurer as the amount necessary, after taking into account amounts credited and to be credited to the separate account provided for in Section 11 of this


Resolution, to make timely payment of all debt charges on the Notes due on that Interest Payment Date.

Section 11. Establishment and Maintenance of Special Account. This Board

establishes, and covenants that it will maintain until the principal of and interest on the Notes are paid, a separate account as part of the Bond Retirement Fund. The Treasurer shall credit to that account that portion of each future distribution to the School District of the proceeds of the Tax Levy (whether or not that portion is evidenced by or included in a separate County Auditor warrant), calculated in accordance with Section 10 of this Resolution, needed to ensure payment of the debt charges on the Notes as the same fall due. So long as any portion of the debt charges on the Notes is unpaid, the moneys credited to that account shall be used solely for the purpose of paying those debt charges. Should accumulated amounts credited to that account produce an amount less than the amount needed to make a timely payment of debt charges on the Notes when due, the full amount needed to make up any such deficiency shall be paid by the Treasurer into the Bond Retirement Fund and credited to that account from the last distribution or distributions to the School District of the proceeds of the Tax Levy received prior to the date of that payment. Upon payment, in full, of all debt charges due on the Notes on December 1 in any year, any amounts remaining in the separate account in the Bond Retirement Fund may be returned to the fund for the Tax Levy as reimbursement for tax revenues advanced to the account in the Bond Retirement Fund to pay debt charges on the Notes.

Section 12. Federal Tax Considerations. The School District covenants that it

will use, and will restrict the use and investment of, the proceeds of the Notes in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary so that (a) the Notes will not (i) constitute private activity bonds or arbitrage bonds under Sections 141 or 148 of the Code, or (ii) be treated other than as bonds the interest on which is excluded from gross income under Section 103 of the Code, and (b) the interest on the Notes will not be an item of tax preference under Section 57 of the Code.

This Board and the School District further covenant that (a) they will take or cause

to be taken such actions which may be required of them for the interest on the Notes to be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, (b) they will not take or authorize to be taken any actions which would adversely affect that exclusion, and (c) that they, or persons acting for them, will, among other acts of compliance, (i) apply the proceeds of the Notes to the governmental purpose of the borrowing, (ii) restrict the yield on investment property, (iii) make timely and adequate rebate payments to the federal government, (iv) maintain books and records and make calculations and reports, and (v) refrain from certain uses of proceeds and, as applicable, of property financed with such proceeds, all in such manner and to the extent necessary to assure such exclusion of that interest under the Code.

The Treasurer, as the fiscal officer, or any other officer of this Board or any official of

the School District having responsibility for issuance of the Notes is hereby authorized (a) to make or effect any election, selection, designation, choice, consent, approval, or waiver on behalf of this Board or the School District with respect to the Notes as this Board or the School District is permitted or required to make or give under the federal income tax laws, for the purpose of assuring, enhancing or protecting favorable tax treatment or status of the Notes or interest thereon or assisting compliance with requirements for that purpose, reducing the burden or expense of such compliance, reducing the rebate amount or


payments of penalties, or making payments of special amounts in lieu of making computations to determine, or paying, excess earnings as rebate, or obviating those amounts or payments, as determined by that officer, which action shall be in writing and signed by the officer, (b) to take any and all other actions, make or obtain calculations, make payments, and make or give reports, covenants and certifications of and on behalf of this Board or the School District, as may be appropriate to assure the exclusion of interest from gross income and the intended tax status of the Notes, and (c) to give one or more appropriate certificates of this Board and the School District, for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings for the Notes, setting forth the reasonable expectations of this Board regarding the amount and use of all the proceeds of the Notes, the facts, circumstances and estimates on which they are based, and other facts and circumstances relevant to the tax treatment of the interest on and the tax status of the Notes.

The Notes are hereby designated as “qualified tax exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. In that connection, the Board and the School District hereby represent and covenant that they, together with all their subordinate entities or entities which issue obligations on their behalf, or on behalf of which they issue obligations, in or during the calendar year in which the Notes are issued (i) have not issued and will not issue tax exempt obligations designated as “qualified tax exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b) (3) of the Code, including the Notes, in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000, and (ii) have not issued, do not reasonably anticipate issuing, and will not issue tax exempt obligations (including the Notes, but excluding obligations, other than qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as defined in Section 145 of the Code, that are private activity bonds as defined in Section 141 of the Code and excluding refunding obligations that are not advance refunding obligations as defined in Section 149(d)(5) of the Code) in an aggregate amount exceeding $10,000,000, unless the Board and the District first obtain a written opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel that such designation or issuance, as applicable, will not adversely affect the status of the Notes as “qualified tax exempt obligations”. Further, the Board and the District represent and covenant that, during any time or in any manner as might affect the status of the Notes as “qualified tax exempt obligations”, neither the Board nor the District has formed or participated in the formation of, or benefited from or availed itself of, any entity in order to avoid the purposes of subparagraph (C) or (D) of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, and neither the Board nor the District will form, participate in the formation of, or benefit from or avail itself of, any such entity. The Board and the District further represent that the Notes are not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots of tax exempt obligations of different issuers.

Section 13. Certification and Delivery of Resolution and Certificate of Award.

The Treasurer is directed to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lorain County Auditor (i) a certified copy of this Resolution and (ii) a signed copy of the Certificate of Award as soon as each is available.

Section 14. Satisfaction of Conditions of Note Issuance. This Board determines

that all acts and conditions necessary to be performed by this Board or the School District or to have been met precedent to and in the issuing of the Notes in order to make them legal, valid and binding special obligations of the North Ridgeville City School District have been performed and have been met, or will at the time of delivery of the Notes have been performed and have been met, in regular and due form as required by law; that no statutory or constitutional limitation of indebtedness or taxation will have been exceeded in the


issuance of the Notes; that the proceeds of the Tax Levy (to the extent and as described in Section 9) which are received by the School District are pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes; and that due provisions has been made for levying and collecting annually the Tax Levy in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes as the same come due.

Section 15. Retention of Bond Counsel. The legal services of Squire Patton

Boggs (US) LLP, as bond counsel, be and are hereby retained. The legal services shall be in the nature of legal advice and recommendations as to the documents and the proceedings in connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and the rendering of the necessary legal opinion upon the delivery of the Notes, all as set forth in the form of engagement letter, dated October 20, 2015, now on file with the Treasurer of this Board. In rendering those legal services, as an independent contractor and in an attorney-client relationship, that firm shall not exercise any administrative discretion on behalf of the School District in the formulation of public policy, expenditure of public funds, enforcement of laws, rules and regulations of the State, the School District or any other political subdivision, or the execution of public trusts. That firm shall be paid just and reasonable compensation for those legal services and shall be reimbursed for the actual out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in rendering those legal services, whether or not the Notes are ever issued.
