Section 2. Findings and Determinations. The County takes note of the following facts and makes the following findings and determinations: (a) Authority and Description of the Refunding Plan. (i) Pursuant to Resolution No. 11-02, the County heretofore issued its $5,206,200 par value Limited Tax General Obligation Bond (Payable from Sewer Revenue), 2002 (the "2002 Bond"), for the purpose of making additions and bettennents to and extensions of the sewerage collection and treatment system to serve the North Bay/Case Inlet area, and by that resolution reserved the right to repay the 2002 Bond, prior to its maturity, at a price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (the "2002 Refunding Candidates"). -4- 51637003.3 (ii) There is presently $4,313,976.46 par value of 2002 Refunding Candidates outstanding. (iii) Pursuant to Resolution No. 21-08, the County heretofore issued its $3,170,000 par value Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, 2008 (the "2008 Bonds"), for the purpose of providing a po1tion of the funds needed to purchase property at Third and Pine, located adjacent to the County Government Complex in Shelton, and by that resolution reserved the right to redeem the 2008 Bonds maturing on and after December 1, 2018, prior to their maturity on or after June 1, 2018, at a price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption (the "2008 Refunding Candidates," and together with the 2002 Refunding Candidates, the "Refunding Candidates").

(b) D ebt Capacity. The maximum amount of indebtedness authorized by this resolution is $7,250,000.

(b) Mandatory Redemption. Bonds designated as Term Bonds by the Designated Representative, within the parameters set forth in Section 4, if not previously redeemed under any optional redemption provisions, defeased or purchased and surrendered for cancellation under the provisions set forth below, shall be called for redemption at a price equal to the stated principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrned interest, on the redemption dates and in the redemption amounts as determined by the Designated Representative. If Te1m Bonds are redeemed under the optional redemption provisions, defeased or purchased by the County and cancelled, the principal amount of the Tenn Bonds so redeemed, defeased or purchased (irrespective of their actual redemption or purchase prices) shall be credited against one or more scheduled mandatory redemption amounts for those Term Bonds. The County shall determine the manner in which the credit is to be allocated and shall notify the Bond Registrar in writing of -9- 51637003 .3 its allocation prior to the earliest mandatory redemption date for that maturity of Tenn Bonds for which notice of redemption has not already been given. ( c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption; Partial Redemption. All or a portion of the principal amount of any Bond that is subject to optional or mandatory redemption may be redeemed in any Authorized Denomination.

The principal portion of any Bond registered in the name of the Securities Depository which is to be partially redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the Letter of Representations. If a Bond ceases to be held in book-entry form, the portion to be partially redeemed shall be selected randomly in such manner as the Bond Registrar shall determine. (d) Notice of Redemption. While a Bond is registered in the name of the Securities Depository, notice of redemption shall be given as required in accordance with the Letter of Representations. If a Bond ceases to be held in book-entry fonn, unless waived by the Registered Owner of the Bond to be redeemed, the County shall cause notice of an intended redemption of Bonds to be given by the Bond Registrar not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Registered Owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address appeaiing on the Bond Register on the Record Date. The requirements of the preceding sentence shall be satisfied when notice has been mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually received by an Owner of any Bond. In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the same period to the MSRB (if required under the Undertaking), to each Rating Agency, and to such other persons and with such additional information as the Designated Representative shall detennine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of a Bond. ( e) Rescission of Optional Redemption Notice. In the case of an optional redemption, the notice of redemption may state that the County retains the right to rescind the redemption notice and the optional redemption of those Bonds by giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owners at any time p1ior to the scheduled optional redemption date. Any notice of optional redemption that is so rescinded shall be of no effect, and a Bond for which a notice of optional redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding. (f) Effect of Redemption. Interest on Bonds called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless either the notice of redemption is rescinded as set forth above, or money sufficient to effect such redemption is not on deposit in the Bond Fund ( or in an escrow account established to carry out a refunding or defeasance of the redeemed Bonds, if any). (g) Open Market Purchase. The County reserves the right to purchase any or all of the Bonds in the open market at any time at any price acceptable to the County plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. -10- 51637003.3 Section 10. Failure To Pay Bonds. If any Bond is not redeemed when properly presented at its maturity date or date fixed for redemption, the County shall be obligated to pay interest on that Bond at the same rate provided in the Bond from and after its maturity or date fixed for redemption until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for its payment in full is on deposit in the Bond Fund and the Bond has been called for payment by giving notice of that call to the Registered Owner. Section 11. Pledge of Taxes. The Bonds constitute a general indebtedness of the County and are payable from tax revenues of the County, and sewer revenue from the North Bay/Case Inlet portion of the sewerage collection and treatment system for the portion of the Bonds used to repay the 2002 Bond, and such other money as is lawfully available and pledged by the County for repaying the Bonds. For as long as any of the Bonds are outstanding, the County irrevocably pledges that it shall, in the manner provided by law within the constitutional and statutory limitations provided by law without the assent of the voters, include in its annual levy amounts sufficient, taking into account other money that is lawfully available, to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due. The full faith, credit and resources of the County are pledged irrevocably for the prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and such pledge shall be enforceable in mandamus against the County. Nothing would prevent the County from issuing additional debt payable from the sewer revenue of the North Bay/Case Inlet p01iion of the sewerage collection and treatment system of the County, and to establish a priority of payments from such sewer revenue. Section 12. Tax Covenants; Designation of Bonds as "Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations." (a) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Bonds. The County covenants that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will neither take any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the County treated as proceeds of the Bonds at any time during the term of the Bonds which will cause interest on the Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. The County also covenants that it will, to the extent the arbitrage rebate requirements of Section 148 of the Code are applicable to the Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply ( or to be treated as having complied) with those requirements in connection with the Bonds, including the calculation and payment of any penalties that the County has elected to pay as an alternative to calculating rebatable arbitrage, and the payment of any other penalties if required under Section 148 of the Code to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Prior to the purchase of any Acquired Obligations by the Refunding Trustee, the County reserves the right to substitute other direct, noncallable obligations of the United States of America ("Substitute Obligations") for any of the Acquired Obligations and to use any savings created thereby for any lawful County purpose if, (a) in the opinion of the County's bond counsel, the interest on the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds will remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Sections 103, 148, and 149(d) of the Code, and (b) such substitution shall not impair the timely payment of the amounts required to be paid by the Refunding Plan, as verified by a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm. After the purchase of the Acquired Obligations by the Refunding Trustee, the County reserves the right to substitute therefor cash or Substitute Obligations subject to the conditions that such money or securities held by the Refunding Trustee shall be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan, that such substitution will not cause the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and regulations thereunder in effect on the date of such substitution and applicable to obligations issued on the issue dates of the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, as applicable, and that the County obtain, at its expense: (1) a verification by a nationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm acceptable to the Refunding Trustee confirming that the payments of principal of and interest on the substitute securities, if paid when due, and any other money held by the Refunding Trustee will be sufficient to carry out the Refunding Plan; and (2) an opinion from a nationally recognized bond counsel to the County, to the effect that the disposition and substitution or purchase of such securities, under the statutes, rules, and regulations then in force and applicable to the Bonds, will not cause the interest on the Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes and that such disposition and substitution or purchase is in compliance with the statutes and regulations applicable to the Bonds.
