JOURNAL ENTRY

Commissioner Kokoski asked Mr. Tuggle, ADAS Chair if there was a recommendation to combine alcohol & mental health boards. Elaine Georgas, Executive Director, ADAS said there were 7 separate boards in the state of ohio and Butler & Mahoning just combined, so Lorain County is the last stand alone board. Since 2007 alcohol & mental health boards collaborate well together.

Commissioner Kokoski asked about the housing at River Edge. Ms. Georgas said the transaction was just closed for Primary Purpose and would have 16 sober beds, 40+ and working on Road to Hope for the women. Mr. Cordes said this facility will be 12 month transition, Ms. Georgas said as long as it is needed/client.

Commissioner Kokoski asked about inpatient rehab. Ms. Georgas said not yet. They are working on a continuation plan for are opiate addiction services and they have great relationships with bordering communities, so they refer to ORCA house or Key. She stated that LCADA is working on an 8 hour/day/7 days on a maintenance control with physician. She stated that ADAS is also working with doctors and hospitals to get referrals early within screening.

Commissioner Lundy asked if there were studies to combine boards. Ms. Georgas said the county mental health board processes ADAS claims. Commissioner Lundy said the State has taken money from addiction recovery services to put into programming but there are no new monies. The state needs to have a better commitment this is a serious issue. He would like to see more public awareness – Voices of Recovery like Columbus. There was a session where people would sit down and explain where they came from how they got to addiction and the steps to recovery. Ms. Georgas said there is along of awareness going out, all members are volunteers and just had the Hope Over Heroin. Commissioner Kokoski said the drug courts have opened, Ms. Georgas said they received 12 referrals since last Wednesday. The next step for them is to how to treat this as a chronic disease. Mr. Cordes thanked Ms. Georgas she does a wonderful job and also sits on CFFC.

b.11The Board of County Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio, met in regular session at 9:30 o’clock a.m. on the 16 th day of September,

2015, at 226 Middle Avenue, Elyria, Ohio with the following members present:

Commissioner Kokoski moved the adoption of the following resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 15-558

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED $2,175,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION (LIMITED TAX) SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT REFUNDING BONDS, OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF LORAIN, OHIO

WHEREAS, the County Auditor, as fiscal officer of the County, has heretofore estimated (pursuant to a fiscal officer's certificate dated November 15, 2001) that the life of the improvements and assets funded with the proceeds of the $4,560,000 General Obligation (Limited Tax) Sewer System Improvement Bonds, Series 2001, dated December 1, 2001 (the "Original Bonds") is at least five (5) years, and certified that the maximum maturity of the bonds issued therefor is nineteen (19) years.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio:

SECTION 1. That it is necessary to issue and sell bonds of this County in the principal sum of not to exceed $2,175,000 (the "Bonds") for the purpose of refunding certain outstanding Original Bonds issued for the purpose of (i) preparing the plans, specifications, surveys and maps for Sanitary Sewer Improvement No. 104 necessary to plan for the collection and treatment of sewage within the County; (ii)  paying, in anticipation of the levy and collection of special assessments, the property owners' portion and the County's portion of the costs of constructing Sanitary Improvement No. 104 in Lorain County General Sewer District; and (iii) paying costs of issuance of those bonds; under authority of and pursuant to the general laws of the State of Ohio, particularly Chapter 133 of the Ohio Revised Code.

SECTION 2. That the Bonds shall be issued for the purpose aforesaid. The Bonds shall (i) be issued in a principal amount as determined by the County Administrator or Budget Director, but not to exceed the amount set forth above, for the purpose aforesaid, (ii) be dated their date of issuance, (iii) be numbered from R-1 upwards in order of issuance, (iv) be of the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, provided that each Bond shall be of a single maturity, (v) mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on the dates and in the amounts determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director, and (vi) bear interest payable semiannually on the first day of June and the first day of December of each year commencing December 1, 2015, at the rate or rates per annum determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director, provided that the net interest cost payable by the County over the life of the Bonds shall not exceed five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum. Determinations required to be made by the County Administrator or the Budget Director pursuant to this resolution shall be stated in a Bond Purchase Agreement for the Bonds (the "Bond Purchase Agreement") which the County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby authorized to sign. The Bond proceeds may be used to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds and up to twenty-four (24) months of capitalized interest on the Bonds. Original Bonds maturing in the years 2015 and thereafter (the "Refunded Bonds") are hereby ordered called for optional redemption according to their terms following issuance of the Bonds.

The Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the County upon such terms, at such times and at such price or prices (but in any case, not greater than 102% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date), as may be determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director.

If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of a single maturity are called for redemption, the selection of Bonds to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, shall be made by lot by the Paying Agent and Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in any manner which the Paying Agent and Registrar may determine. In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds when Bonds of denominations greater than $5,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of face value of principal thereof shall be treated as though it were a separate Bond of the denomination of $5,000. If one or more, but not all, of such $5,000 units of face value represented by a Bond are to be called for redemption, then upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered holder of that Bond shall surrender the Bond to the Paying Agent and Registrar (a) for payment of the redemption price for the $5,000 unit or units of face value 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 holder thereof, of a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, 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 Bond surrendered.

The notice of call for redemption of Bonds shall identify (i) by designation, letters, numbers or other distinguishing marks, the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, (ii) the redemption price to be paid, (iii) the date fixed for redemption, and (iv) the place or places where the amounts due upon redemption are payable. The notice shall be given by the Paying Agent and Registrar on behalf of the County by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered holder of each Bond subject to redemption in whole or in part at such registered holder’s address shown on the Bond registration records on the fifteenth day preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice by mailing or any defect in that notice regarding any Bond, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond. Notice having been mailed in the manner provided above, the Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and on such redemption date, interest on such Bonds or portions thereof so called shall cease to accrue; and upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds or portions thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, such Bonds or portions thereof shall be paid at the redemption price, including interest accrued to the redemption date.

Pending preparation of definitive Bonds, any Bonds may be initially delivered in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when such definitive Bonds are ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten and may contain such

499

reference to any of the provisions of this resolution as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Paying Agent and Registrar upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as definitive Bonds. If the Paying Agent and Registrar delivers temporary Bonds, it shall execute and furnish definitive Bonds at the earliest practicable time, and thereupon, the temporary Bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this resolution as definitive Bonds delivered pursuant hereto.

The Bonds shall be designated "General Obligation (Limited Tax) Sewer System Improvement Refunding Bonds" and may have additional designations. All Bonds shall mature on or before December 1, 2020.

It is hereby determined by this Board of County Commissioners that the issuance of the Bonds provided herein, including without limitation, the redemption provisions set forth above, are in the best interests of the County.

SECTION 3. That the Bonds shall express upon their faces the purpose for which they are issued and that they are issued in pursuance of this resolution. The Bonds shall be in fully registered form without coupons, shall bear the signatures of at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners and of the County Auditor, provided that any or all such signatures may be facsimile signatures, may bear the seal of such County Auditor or a facsimile thereof, and shall bear the manual authenticating signature of an authorized representative of The Huntington National Bank, Cleveland, Ohio to serve as the paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the "Paying Agent and Registrar") for the Bonds. The principal amount of each Bond shall be payable at the principal office of the Paying Agent and the Registrar and interest thereon shall be made on each interest payment date to the person whose name appears on the record date (May 15 and November 15 for June 1 and December 1 interest, respectively) on the Bond registration records as the registered holder thereof, by check or draft mailed to such registered holder at his address as it appears on such registration records.

The Bonds shall be transferable by the registered holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent and Registrar. The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall not be required to transfer any Bond during the 15-day period preceding any interest payment date or preceding any selection of Bonds to be redeemed, or after such Bond has been selected for partial or complete redemption, and no such transfer shall be effective until entered upon the registration records maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar. Upon such transfer, a new Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations of the same maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar may deem and treat the registered holders of the Bonds as the absolute owners thereof for all purposes, and neither the County nor the Paying Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 4. That for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, the full faith, credit, and revenue of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged, and for the purpose of providing the necessary funds to pay the interest on the Bonds promptly when and as the same falls due, and also to provide a fund sufficient to discharge the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory sinking fund redemption, there shall be and is hereby levied on all the taxable property in the County within applicable limitations, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually during the period the Bonds are to run in an amount sufficient to provide funds to pay interest upon the Bonds as and when the same falls due and also to provide a fund for the discharge of the principal of the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory sinking fund redemption, which tax shall not be less than the interest and sinking fund tax required by Article XII, Section 11 of the Constitution of Ohio.

Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of said years are certified, extended or collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The Revenues to be applied to debt service on the Bonds and the funds derived from said tax levies hereby required shall be placed in a separate and distinct fund, which shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the interest on and the principal of the Bonds when and as the same shall fall due; provided, that in each year to the extent that moneys from sewer system operation and collection of special assessments (the anticipated repayment revenue) are available for the payment of debt service on the Bonds and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such tax shall be reduced by the amount of such moneys so available and appropriated.

SECTION 5. That the Bonds shall be sold to Ross, Sinclaire & Associates, LLC, Columbus, Ohio (the "Purchaser") at not less than ninety-seven percent of par of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery, as determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, except as any premium and accrued interest received, shall be deposited in an appropriate fund and used for the purpose aforesaid and for no other purpose and for which purpose such proceeds are hereby appropriated. Any premium and accrued interest received from such sale shall be transferred to the bond retirement fund to be applied to the payment of the principal and interest of the Bonds in the manner provided by law.

SECTION 6. That this Board of County Commissioners hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds hereby authorized in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the debt is incurred, so that they will not constitute obligations the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation or "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations prescribed thereunder, including any expenditure requirements, investment limitations or rebate requirements. Without limiting the generally of the foregoing, this Board of County Commissioners represents and covenants that not more than 10% of the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly in the trade or business of any person that is not an "exempt person" within the meaning of the Code. The County Auditor or any other officer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Bonds is authorized and directed to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of this County on the date of delivery of the Bonds for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to the use of the proceeds thereof and the provisions of said Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 7. That at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to prepare and distribute to prospective purchasers of the Bonds and other interested parties, a preliminary official statement with respect to the Bonds on behalf of this County, which shall be in substantially the form heretofore submitted to this Board of County Commissioners with such changes thereto as such officials may approve, and which shall be deemed final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) except for certain information excluded therefrom in accordance with such Rule and which will be provided in the final official statement. At least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to prepare, execute and deliver a final official statement with respect to the Bonds on behalf of the County, which shall be in such form as the officials signing the same may approve, and which shall be deemed to be final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(3), their execution thereof on behalf of the County to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and copies thereof are hereby authorized to be prepared and furnished to the purchaser of the Bonds for distribution to prospective purchasers of the Bonds and other interested persons.

500

The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate") in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Bonds; however, any holder of the Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause the County to comply with its obligations under this paragraph and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

SECTION 8. That at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to execute and deliver an agreement with the Paying Agent and Registrar for its services as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Bonds in such form as such officer may approve, the execution thereof by such officer to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and an agreement with an escrow agent for a refunding of the Refunded Bonds. An independent accounting firm shall be engaged to determine the sufficiency of funds placed in escrow for payment of debt charges on the Refunded Bonds. Said escrow funds shall be invested in direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to payment by, the United States of America. Original Bonds being refunded shall be identified in said firm's verification report.

SECTION 9. That for purposes of this Resolution, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Book entry form" or "book entry system" means a form or system under which (i) the beneficial right to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds may be transferred only through a book entry, and (ii) physical Bond certificates in fully registered form are issued only to the Depository or its nominee as registered owner, with the Bonds "immobilized" to the custody of the Depository, and the book entry maintained by others than this County is the record that identifies the owners of beneficial interests in those Bonds and that principal and interest.

"Depository" means any securities depository that is a clearing agency under federal law operating and maintaining, together with its Participants or otherwise, a book entry system to record ownership of beneficial interests in Bonds or principal and interest, and to effect transfers of Bonds, in book entry form, and includes and means initially The Depository Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.

"Participant" means any participant contracting with a Depository under a book entry system and includes security brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, and clearing corporations.

All or any portion of the Bonds may be initially issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system, and the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bonds, notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution. If and as long as a book entry system is utilized with respect to any of such Bonds: (i) there shall be a single Bond of each maturity; (ii) those Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as registered owner, and immobilized in the custody of the Depository; (iii) the beneficial owners of Bonds in book entry form shall have no right to receive Bonds in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iv) ownership of beneficial interests in any Bonds in book entry form shall be shown by book entry on the system maintained and operated by the Depository and its Participants, and transfers of the ownership of beneficial interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its Participants; and (v) the Bonds as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by this County. Debt service charges on Bonds in book entry form registered in the name of a Depository or its nominee shall be payable in the manner provided in this County’s agreement with the Depository to the Depository or its authorized representative (i) in the case of interest, on each interest payment date, and (ii) in all other cases, upon presentation and surrender of Bonds as provided in this Resolution.

The Paying Agent and Registrar may, with the approval of this County, enter into an agreement with the beneficial owner or registered owner of any Bond in the custody of a Depository providing for making all payments to that owner of principal and interest on that Bond or any portion thereof (other than any payment of the entire unpaid principal amount thereof) at a place and in a manner (including wire transfer of federal funds) other than as provided in this Resolution, without prior presentation or surrender of the Bond, upon any conditions which shall be satisfactory to the Paying Agent and Registrar and to this County. That payment in any event shall be made to the person who is the registered owner of that Bond on the date that principal is due, or, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable date agreed upon as the case may be. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by the Paying Agent and Registrar, to any other paying agents for the Bonds and to this County. Any payment of principal or interest pursuant to such an agreement shall constitute payment thereof pursuant to, and for all purposes of, this Resolution.

The County Administrator or the Budget Director are authorized and directed without further action of this Board of County Commissioners to execute, acknowledge and deliver, in the name of and on behalf of this County, a blanket letter agreement between this County and The Depository Trust Company, as Depository, to be delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds to the Depository for use in a book entry system, and to take all other actions the County Administrator or the Budget Director deems appropriate in issuing the Bonds under a book entry system.

If any Depository determines not to continue to act as Depository for the Bonds for use in a book entry system, this County and the Paying Agent and Registrar may attempt to establish a securities depository/book entry relationship with another qualified Depository under this Resolution. If this County and the Paying Agent and Registrar do not or are unable to do so, this County and the Paying Agent and Registrar, after the Paying Agent and Registrar has made provision for notification of the beneficial owners by the then Depository, shall permit withdrawal of the Bonds from the Depository and authenticate and deliver Bond certificates in fully registered form to the assigns of the Depository or its nominee, all at the cost and expense (including costs of printing definitive Bonds), if the event is not the result of action or inaction by this County or the Paying Agent and Registrar, of those persons requesting such issuance.

That the members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator, the Budget Director or any other officer, employee or agent of this County, are each hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to apply for a municipal bond insurance policy with respect to the Bonds, and accept a commitment therefor, if the Purchaser should recommend the same, and any such actions heretofore taken are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed. The payment of the premium and expenses relating to any such insurance policy from the proceeds of the Bonds is hereby authorized if the County Administrator or the Budget Director determines that the present value of the interest cost savings on the Bonds resulting from the insurance policy is greater than the premium to be charged for the insurance policy.

SECTION 11. That the members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator, the Budget Director or any other officer, employee or agent of this County, are each hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to apply for one or more municipal bond ratings with respect to the Bonds, and any such actions heretofore taken are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.

2015, at 226 Middle Avenue, Elyria, Ohio with the following members present:

Commissioner Kokoski moved the adoption of the following resolution:

RESOLUTION NO. 15-559

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT TO EXCEED $6,075,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION (LIMITED TAX) SEWER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT REFUNDING BONDS, OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF LORAIN, OHIO

WHEREAS, the County Auditor, as fiscal officer of the County, has heretofore estimated (pursuant to a fiscal officer's certificate in July, 2007) that the life of the improvements and assets funded with the proceeds of the $5,870,000 General Obligation Sewer System Improvement Bonds, Series 2009, dated October 28, 2009 (the "Series 2009 Bonds") is at least five (5) years, and certified that the maximum maturity of the bonds issued therefor is forty (40) years.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio:

SECTION 1. That it is necessary to issue and sell bonds of this County in the principal sum of not to exceed $6,075,000 (the "Bonds") for the purpose of refunding certain outstanding Series 2009 Bonds issued to (i)  retire the County's $5,570,000 Sewer System Improvement Notes, Series 2009, (ii) pay costs of currently refunding a portion of the principal interest due in 2009 on the County's general obligation sewer system improvement bonds issued in 2001, (iii) pay costs of the Broadway-Taylor sewer system improvement, and (iv) pay costs of issuance of the Series 2009 Bonds; under authority of and pursuant to the general laws of the State of Ohio, particularly Chapter 133 of the Ohio Revised Code.

SECTION 2. That the Bonds shall be issued for the purpose aforesaid. The Bonds shall (i) be issued in a principal amount as determined by the County Administrator or Budget Director, but not to exceed the amount set forth above, for the purpose aforesaid, (ii) be dated their date of issuance, (iii) be numbered from R-1 upwards in order of issuance, (iv) be of the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, provided that each Bond shall be of a single maturity, (v) mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on the dates and in the amounts determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director, and (vi) bear interest payable semiannually on the first day of June and the first day of December of each year commencing December 1, 2015, at the rate or rates per annum determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director, provided that the net interest cost payable by the County over the life of the Bonds shall not exceed five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum. Determinations required to be made by the County Administrator or the Budget Director pursuant to this resolution shall be stated in a Bond Purchase Agreement for the Bonds (the "Bond Purchase Agreement") which the County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby authorized to sign. The Bond proceeds may be used to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds and up to twenty-four (24) months of capitalized interest on the Bonds. Series 2009 Bonds maturing in the years 2023 and thereafter (the "Refunded Bonds") are hereby ordered called for optional redemption according to their terms on December 1, 2019.

The Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the County upon such terms, at such times and at such price or prices (but in any case, not greater than 102% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the redemption date), as may be determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director.

If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of a single maturity are called for redemption, the selection of Bonds to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, shall be made by lot by the Paying Agent and Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in any manner which the Paying Agent and Registrar may determine. In the case of a partial redemption of Bonds when Bonds of denominations greater than $5,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of face value of principal thereof shall be treated as though it were a separate Bond of the denomination of $5,000. If one or more, but not all, of such $5,000 units of face value represented by a Bond are to be called for redemption, then upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered holder of that Bond shall surrender the Bond to the Paying Agent and Registrar (a) for payment of the redemption price for the $5,000 unit or units of face value 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 holder thereof, of a new Bond or Bonds of the same series, 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 Bond surrendered.

The notice of call for redemption of Bonds shall identify (i) by designation, letters, numbers or other distinguishing marks, the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, (ii) the redemption price to be paid, (iii) the date fixed for redemption, and (iv) the place or places where the amounts due upon redemption are payable. The notice shall be given by the Paying Agent and Registrar on behalf of the County by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered holder of each Bond subject to redemption in whole or in part at such registered holder’s address shown on the Bond registration records on the fifteenth day preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice by mailing or any defect in that notice regarding any Bond, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond. Notice having been mailed in the manner provided above, the Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and on such redemption date, interest on such Bonds or portions thereof so called shall cease to accrue; and upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds or portions thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, such Bonds or portions thereof shall be paid at the redemption price, including interest accrued to the redemption date.

Pending preparation of definitive Bonds, any Bonds may be initially delivered in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when such definitive Bonds are ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten and may contain such

502

reference to any of the provisions of this resolution as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Paying Agent and Registrar upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as definitive Bonds. If the Paying Agent and Registrar delivers temporary Bonds, it shall execute and furnish definitive Bonds at the earliest practicable time, and thereupon, the temporary Bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this resolution as definitive Bonds delivered pursuant hereto.

The Bonds shall be designated "General Obligation (Limited Tax) Sewer System Improvement Refunding Bonds" and may have additional designations.

It is hereby determined by this Board of County Commissioners that the issuance of the Bonds provided herein, including without limitation, the redemption provisions set forth above, are in the best interests of the County.

SECTION 3. That the Bonds shall express upon their faces the purpose for which they are issued and that they are issued in pursuance of this resolution. The Bonds shall be in fully registered form without coupons, shall bear the signatures of at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners and of the County Auditor, provided that any or all such signatures may be facsimile signatures, may bear the seal of such County Auditor or a facsimile thereof, and shall bear the manual authenticating signature of an authorized representative of The Huntington National Bank, Cleveland, Ohio to serve as the paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the "Paying Agent and Registrar") for the Bonds. The principal amount of each Bond shall be payable at the principal office of the Paying Agent and the Registrar and interest thereon shall be made on each interest payment date to the person whose name appears on the record date (May 15 and November 15 for June 1 and December 1 interest, respectively) on the Bond registration records as the registered holder thereof, by check or draft mailed to such registered holder at his address as it appears on such registration records.

The Bonds shall be transferable by the registered holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent and Registrar. The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall not be required to transfer any Bond during the 15-day period preceding any interest payment date or preceding any selection of Bonds to be redeemed, or after such Bond has been selected for partial or complete redemption, and no such transfer shall be effective until entered upon the registration records maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar. Upon such transfer, a new Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations of the same maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar may deem and treat the registered holders of the Bonds as the absolute owners thereof for all purposes, and neither the County nor the Paying Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 4. That for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, the full faith, credit, and revenue of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged, and for the purpose of providing the necessary funds to pay the interest on the Bonds promptly when and as the same falls due, and also to provide a fund sufficient to discharge the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory sinking fund redemption, there shall be and is hereby levied on all the taxable property in the County within applicable limitations, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually during the period the Bonds are to run in an amount sufficient to provide funds to pay interest upon the Bonds as and when the same falls due and also to provide a fund for the discharge of the principal of the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory sinking fund redemption, which tax shall not be less than the interest and sinking fund tax required by Article XII, Section 11 of the Constitution of Ohio.

Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of said years are certified, extended or collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The Revenues to be applied to debt service on the Bonds and the funds derived from said tax levies hereby required shall be placed in a separate and distinct fund, which shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the interest on and the principal of the Bonds when and as the same shall fall due; provided, that in each year to the extent that moneys from sewer system revenues (the anticipated repayment revenue) are available for the payment of debt service on the Bonds and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such tax shall be reduced by the amount of such moneys so available and appropriated.

SECTION 5. That the Bonds shall be sold to Ross, Sinclaire & Associates, LLC, Columbus, Ohio (the "Purchaser") at not less than ninety-seven percent of par of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery, as determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, except as any premium and accrued interest received, shall be deposited in an appropriate fund and used for the purpose aforesaid and for no other purpose and for which purpose such proceeds are hereby appropriated. Any premium and accrued interest received from such sale shall be transferred to the bond retirement fund to be applied to the payment of the principal and interest of the Bonds in the manner provided by law.

SECTION 6. That this Board of County Commissioners hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds hereby authorized in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the debt is incurred, so that they will not constitute obligations the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation or "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations prescribed thereunder, including any expenditure requirements, investment limitations or rebate requirements. Without limiting the generally of the foregoing, this Board of County Commissioners represents and covenants that not more than 10% of the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly in the trade or business of any person that is not an "exempt person" within the meaning of the Code. The County Auditor or any other officer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Bonds is authorized and directed to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of this County on the date of delivery of the Bonds for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to the use of the proceeds thereof and the provisions of said Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 7. That at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to prepare and distribute to prospective purchasers of the Bonds and other interested parties, a preliminary official statement with respect to the Bonds on behalf of this County, which shall be in substantially the form heretofore submitted to this Board of County Commissioners with such changes thereto as such officials may approve, and which shall be deemed final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) except for certain information excluded therefrom in accordance with such Rule and which will be provided in the final official statement. At least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to prepare, execute and deliver a final official statement with respect to the Bonds on behalf of the County, which shall be in such form as the officials signing the same may approve, and which shall be deemed to be final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(3), their execution thereof on behalf of the County to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and copies thereof are hereby authorized to be prepared and furnished to the purchaser of the Bonds for distribution to prospective purchasers of the Bonds and other interested persons.

503

The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate") in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Bonds; however, any holder of the Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause the County to comply with its obligations under this paragraph and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

SECTION 8. That at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to execute and deliver an agreement with the Paying Agent and Registrar for its services as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Bonds in such form as such officer may approve, the execution thereof by such officer to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and an agreement with an escrow agent for a refunding of the Refunded Bonds. An independent accounting firm shall be engaged to determine the sufficiency of funds placed in escrow for payment of debt charges on the Refunded Bonds. Said escrow funds shall be invested in direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to payment by, the United States of America. Original Bonds being refunded shall be identified in said firm's verification report.

SECTION 9. That for purposes of this Resolution, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Book entry form" or "book entry system" means a form or system under which (i) the beneficial right to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds may be transferred only through a book entry, and (ii) physical Bond certificates in fully registered form are issued only to the Depository or its nominee as registered owner, with the Bonds "immobilized" to the custody of the Depository, and the book entry maintained by others than this County is the record that identifies the owners of beneficial interests in those Bonds and that principal and interest.

"Depository" means any securities depository that is a clearing agency under federal law operating and maintaining, together with its Participants or otherwise, a book entry system to record ownership of beneficial interests in Bonds or principal and interest, and to effect transfers of Bonds, in book entry form, and includes and means initially The Depository Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.

"Participant" means any participant contracting with a Depository under a book entry system and includes security brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, and clearing corporations.

All or any portion of the Bonds may be initially issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system, and the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bonds, notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution. If and as long as a book entry system is utilized with respect to any of such Bonds: (i) there shall be a single Bond of each maturity; (ii) those Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as registered owner, and immobilized in the custody of the Depository; (iii) the beneficial owners of Bonds in book entry form shall have no right to receive Bonds in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iv) ownership of beneficial interests in any Bonds in book entry form shall be shown by book entry on the system maintained and operated by the Depository and its Participants, and transfers of the ownership of beneficial interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its Participants; and (v) the Bonds as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by this County.

That payment in any event shall be made to the person who is the registered owner of that Bond on the date that principal is due, or, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable date agreed upon as the case may be. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by the Paying Agent and Registrar, to any other paying agents for the Bonds and to this County. Any payment of principal or interest pursuant to such an agreement shall constitute payment thereof pursuant to, and for all purposes of, this Resolution.

The County Administrator or the Budget Director are authorized and directed without further action of this Board of County Commissioners to execute, acknowledge and deliver, in the name of and on behalf of this County, a blanket letter agreement between this County and The Depository Trust Company, as Depository, to be delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds to the Depository for use in a book entry system, and to take all other actions the County Administrator or the Budget Director deems appropriate in issuing the Bonds under a book entry system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio:

The Bond proceeds may be used to pay costs of issuance of the Bonds and up to twenty-four (24) months of capitalized interest on the Bonds. Original Bonds maturing in the years 2018 and thereafter (the "Refunded Bonds") are hereby ordered called for optional redemption according to their terms on June 1, 2018.

The notice shall be given by the Paying Agent and Registrar on behalf of the County by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered holder of each Bond subject to redemption in whole or in part at such registered holder’s address shown on the Bond registration records on the fifteenth day preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice by mailing or any defect in that notice regarding any Bond, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bond. Notice having been mailed in the manner provided above, the Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and on such redemption date, interest on such Bonds or portions thereof so called shall cease to accrue; and upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds or portions thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, such Bonds or portions thereof shall be paid at the redemption price, including interest accrued to the redemption date.

Pending preparation of definitive Bonds, any Bonds may be initially delivered in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when such definitive Bonds are ready for delivery. The temporary Bonds may be printed, lithographed or typewritten and may contain such reference to any of the provisions of this resolution as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be executed by the Paying Agent and Registrar upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner as definitive Bonds. If the Paying Agent and Registrar delivers temporary Bonds, it shall execute and furnish definitive Bonds at the earliest practicable time, and thereupon, the temporary Bonds shall be surrendered for cancellation at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar, and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Bonds an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Bonds. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefits under this resolution as definitive Bonds delivered pursuant hereto.

The Bonds shall be designated "General Obligation (Limited Tax) General Sewer District Improvement Refunding Bonds" and may have additional designations. All Bonds shall mature on or before December 1, 2030.

It is hereby determined by this Board of County Commissioners that the issuance of the Bonds provided herein, including without limitation, the redemption provisions set forth above, are in the best interests of the County.

SECTION 3. That the Bonds shall express upon their faces the purpose for which they are issued and that they are issued in pursuance of this resolution. The Bonds shall be in fully registered form without coupons, shall bear the signatures of at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners and of the County Auditor, provided that any or all such signatures may be facsimile signatures, may bear the seal of such County Auditor or a facsimile thereof, and shall bear the manual authenticating signature of an authorized representative of The Huntington National Bank, Cleveland, Ohio to serve as the paying agent, registrar and transfer agent (the "Paying Agent and Registrar") for the Bonds. The principal amount of each Bond shall be payable at the principal office of the Paying Agent and the Registrar and interest thereon shall be made on each interest payment date to the person whose name appears on the record date (May 15 and November 15 for June 1 and December 1 interest, respectively) on the Bond registration records as the registered holder thereof, by check or draft mailed to such registered holder at his address as it appears on such registration records.

The Bonds shall be transferable by the registered holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent and Registrar. The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall not be required to transfer any Bond during the 15-day period preceding any interest payment date or preceding any selection of Bonds to be redeemed, or after such Bond has been selected for partial or complete redemption, and no such transfer shall be effective until entered upon the registration records maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar. Upon such transfer, a new Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations of the same maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar may deem and treat the registered holders of the Bonds as the absolute owners thereof for all purposes, and neither the County nor the Paying Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 4. That for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, the full faith, credit, and revenue of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged, and for the purpose of providing the necessary funds to pay the interest on the Bonds promptly when and as the same falls due, and also to provide a fund sufficient to discharge the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory sinking fund redemption, there shall be and is hereby levied on all the taxable property in the County within applicable limitations, in addition to all other taxes, a direct tax annually during the period the Bonds are to run in an amount sufficient to provide funds to pay interest upon the Bonds as and when the same falls due and also to provide a fund for the discharge of the principal of the Bonds at maturity or upon mandatory sinking fund redemption, which tax shall not be less than the interest and sinking fund tax required by Article XII, Section 11 of the Constitution of Ohio.

Said tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers, in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of said years are certified, extended or collected. Said tax shall be placed before and in preference to all other items and for the full amount thereof. The Revenues to be applied to debt service on the Bonds and the funds derived from said tax levies hereby required shall be placed in a separate and distinct fund, which shall be irrevocably pledged for the payment of the interest on and the principal of the Bonds when and as the same shall fall due; provided, that in each year to the extent that moneys from sewer system operation and collection of special assessments (the anticipated repayment revenue) are available for the payment of debt service on the Bonds and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such tax shall be reduced by the amount of such moneys so available and appropriated.

SECTION 5. That the Bonds shall be sold to Ross, Sinclaire & Associates, LLC, Columbus, Ohio (the "Purchaser") at not less than ninety-seven percent of par of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of delivery, as determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director. The proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, except as any premium and accrued interest received, shall be deposited in an appropriate fund and used for the purpose aforesaid and for no other purpose and for which purpose such proceeds are hereby appropriated. Any premium and accrued interest received from such sale shall be transferred to the bond retirement fund to be applied to the payment of the principal and interest of the Bonds in the manner provided by law.

506

SECTION 6. That this Board of County Commissioners hereby covenants that it will restrict the use of the proceeds of the Bonds hereby authorized in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the debt is incurred, so that they will not constitute obligations the interest on which is subject to federal income taxation or "arbitrage bonds" under Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and the regulations prescribed thereunder, including any expenditure requirements, investment limitations or rebate requirements. Without limiting the generally of the foregoing, this Board of County Commissioners represents and covenants that not more than 10% of the improvements financed with the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly in the trade or business of any person that is not an "exempt person" within the meaning of the Code. The County Auditor or any other officer having responsibility with respect to the issuance of the Bonds is authorized and directed to give an appropriate certificate on behalf of this County on the date of delivery of the Bonds for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the facts, estimates and circumstances and reasonable expectations pertaining to the use of the proceeds thereof and the provisions of said Sections 103(b)(2) and 148 and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 7. That at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to prepare and distribute to prospective purchasers of the Bonds and other interested parties, a preliminary official statement with respect to the Bonds on behalf of this County, which shall be in substantially the form heretofore submitted to this Board of County Commissioners with such changes thereto as such officials may approve, and which shall be deemed final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) except for certain information excluded therefrom in accordance with such Rule and which will be provided in the final official statement. At least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to prepare, execute and deliver a final official statement with respect to the Bonds on behalf of the County, which shall be in such form as the officials signing the same may approve, and which shall be deemed to be final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(3), their execution thereof on behalf of the County to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and copies thereof are hereby authorized to be prepared and furnished to the purchaser of the Bonds for distribution to prospective purchasers of the Bonds and other interested persons.

The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate") in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Bonds; however, any holder of the Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause the County to comply with its obligations under this paragraph and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

SECTION 8. That at least two members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to execute and deliver an agreement with the Paying Agent and Registrar for its services as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Bonds in such form as such officer may approve, the execution thereof by such officer to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and an agreement with an escrow agent for a refunding of the Refunded Bonds. An independent accounting firm shall be engaged to determine the sufficiency of funds placed in escrow for payment of debt charges on the Refunded Bonds. Said escrow funds shall be invested in direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed as to payment by, the United States of America. Original Bonds being refunded shall be identified in said firm's verification report.

SECTION 9. That for purposes of this Resolution, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Book entry form" or "book entry system" means a form or system under which (i) the beneficial right to payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds may be transferred only through a book entry, and (ii) physical Bond certificates in fully registered form are issued only to the Depository or its nominee as registered owner, with the Bonds "immobilized" to the custody of the Depository, and the book entry maintained by others than this County is the record that identifies the owners of beneficial interests in those Bonds and that principal and interest.

"Depository" means any securities depository that is a clearing agency under federal law operating and maintaining, together with its Participants or otherwise, a book entry system to record ownership of beneficial interests in Bonds or principal and interest, and to effect transfers of Bonds, in book entry form, and includes and means initially The Depository Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.

"Participant" means any participant contracting with a Depository under a book entry system and includes security brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, and clearing corporations.

All or any portion of the Bonds may be initially issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system, and the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bonds, notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution. If and as long as a book entry system is utilized with respect to any of such Bonds: (i) there shall be a single Bond of each maturity; (ii) those Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as registered owner, and immobilized in the custody of the Depository; (iii) the beneficial owners of Bonds in book entry form shall have no right to receive Bonds in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iv) ownership of beneficial interests in any Bonds in book entry form shall be shown by book entry on the system maintained and operated by the Depository and its Participants, and transfers of the ownership of beneficial interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its Participants; and (v) the Bonds as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by this County. Debt service charges on Bonds in book entry form registered in the name of a Depository or its nominee shall be payable in the manner provided in this County’s agreement with the Depository to the Depository or its authorized representative (i) in the case of interest, on each interest payment date, and (ii) in all other cases, upon presentation and surrender of Bonds as provided in this Resolution.

The Paying Agent and Registrar may, with the approval of this County, enter into an agreement with the beneficial owner or registered owner of any Bond in the custody of a Depository providing for making all payments to that owner of principal and interest on that Bond or any portion thereof (other than any payment of the entire unpaid principal amount thereof) at a place and in a manner (including wire transfer of federal funds) other than as provided in this Resolution, without prior presentation or surrender of the Bond, upon any conditions which shall be satisfactory to the Paying Agent and Registrar and to this County. That payment in any event shall be made to the person who is the registered owner of that Bond on the date that principal is due, or, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable date agreed upon as the case may be. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall furnish a copy of each of those agreements, certified to be correct by the Paying Agent and Registrar, to any other paying agents for the Bonds and to this County. Any payment of principal or interest pursuant to such an agreement shall constitute payment thereof pursuant to, and for all purposes of, this Resolution.

The County Administrator or the Budget Director are authorized and directed without further action of this Board of County Commissioners to execute, acknowledge and deliver, in the name of and on behalf of this County, a blanket letter agreement between this County and The Depository Trust Company, as Depository, to be delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds to the Depository for use in a book entry system, and to take all other actions the County Administrator or the Budget Director deems appropriate in issuing the Bonds under a book entry system.

507

If any Depository determines not to continue to act as Depository for the Bonds for use in a book entry system, this County and the Paying Agent and Registrar may attempt to establish a securities depository/book entry relationship with another qualified Depository under this Resolution. If this County and the Paying Agent and Registrar do not or are unable to do so, this County and the Paying Agent and Registrar, after the Paying Agent and Registrar has made provision for notification of the beneficial owners by the then Depository, shall permit withdrawal of the Bonds from the Depository and authenticate and deliver Bond certificates in fully registered form to the assigns of the Depository or its nominee, all at the cost and expense (including costs of printing definitive Bonds), if the event is not the result of action or inaction by this County or the Paying Agent and Registrar, of those persons requesting such issuance.

SECTION 10. That the members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator, the Budget Director or any other officer, employee or agent of this County, are each hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to apply for a municipal bond insurance policy with respect to the Bonds, and accept a commitment therefor, if the Purchaser should recommend the same, and any such actions heretofore taken are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed. The payment of the premium and expenses relating to any such insurance policy from the proceeds of the Bonds is hereby authorized if the County Administrator or the Budget Director determines that the present value of the interest cost savings on the Bonds resulting from the insurance policy is greater than the premium to be charged for the insurance policy.

SECTION 11. That the members of this Board of County Commissioners, the County Auditor, the County Administrator, the Budget Director or any other officer, employee or agent of this County, are each hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to apply for one or more municipal bond ratings with respect to the Bonds, and any such actions heretofore taken are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed. The payment of the premium and expenses relating to any such rating from the proceeds of the Bonds is hereby authorized.

SECTION 12. That the Clerk of this Board of County Commissioners is hereby directed to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the County Auditor.

SECTION 13. That it is found and determined that all formal actions of this Board of County Commissioners concerning and relating to the adoption of this resolution were adopted in an open meeting of this Board of County Commissioners, and that all deliberations of this Board of County Commissioners and of any of its committees that resulted in such formal action, were in meetings open to the public, in compliance with the law, including Section 121.22 of the Revised Code of Ohio.

WHEREAS, this Board desires to issue and sell the 2015 Series Bonds on a consolidated basis pursuant to Section 133.30(B) of the Ohio Revised Code and this resolution;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio:

SECTION 1. That pursuant to the provisions of Section 133.30(B) of the Ohio Revised Code, the 2015 Series Bonds shall be consolidated into a single bond issue which shall be designated "Various Purpose Refunding Bonds, Series 2015" (such consolidated bonds are hereinafter referred to as the "Consolidated Bonds"), together with any additional designations.

508

SECTION 2. That the Consolidated Bonds shall be issued under authority of the general laws of the State of Ohio, particularly Chapter 133 of the Ohio Revised Code. The Consolidated Bonds shall (i) be dated as of the same date as each issue of 2015 Series Bonds (ii) be in a principal amount equal to the sum of the aggregate principal amounts of the 2015 Series Bonds, (iii) be numbered from R-1 upwards in order of issuance, (iv) be of the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, provided that each Consolidated Bond shall be of a single maturity, (v) mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on each date the 2015 Series Bonds mature or are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in an amount for any given date equal to the sum of the maturity or mandatory sinking fund amounts for the 2015 Series Bonds for such date, and (vi) bear interest payable on each date interest on the 2015 Series Bonds is payable at a rate for each respective maturity equal to the rate of interest on the 2015 Series Bonds for such maturity.

The Consolidated Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption on each date the 2015 Series Bonds are subject to optional redemption in an amount for any given date equal to the sum of the amounts of the 2015 Series Bonds being redeemed on such date upon the same terms, at the same redemption prices, on the same dates and in the same manner as the 2015 Series Bonds.

If fewer than all of the outstanding Consolidated Bonds of a single maturity are called for redemption, the selection of Consolidated Bonds to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, shall be made by lot by the Paying Agent and Registrar (as hereinafter defined) in any manner which the Paying Agent and Registrar may determine. In the case of a partial redemption of Consolidated Bonds when Consolidated Bonds of denominations greater than $5,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of face value of principal thereof shall be treated as though it were a separate Consolidated Bond of the denomination of $5,000. If one or more, but not all, of such $5,000 units of face value represented by a Consolidated Bond are to be called for redemption, then upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered holder of that Consolidated Bond shall surrender the Consolidated Bond to the Paying Agent and Registrar (a) for payment of the redemption price for the $5,000 unit or units of face value 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 holder thereof, of a new Consolidated Bond or Bonds of the same series, 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 Consolidated Bond surrendered.

The notice of call for redemption of Consolidated Bonds shall identify (i) by designation, letters, numbers or other distinguishing marks, the Consolidated Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, (ii) the redemption price to be paid, (iii) the date fixed for redemption, and (iv) the place or places where the amounts due upon redemption are payable. The notice shall be given by the Paying Agent and Registrar on behalf of the County by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the registered holder of each Consolidated Bond subject to redemption in whole or in part at such registered holder’s address shown on the Consolidated Bond registration records on the fifteenth day preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice by mailing or any defect in that notice regarding any Consolidated Bond, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Consolidated Bond. Notice having been mailed in the manner provided above, the Consolidated Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date and on such redemption date, interest on such Consolidated Bonds or portions thereof so called shall cease to accrue; and upon presentation and surrender of such Consolidated Bonds or portions thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, such Consolidated Bonds or portions thereof shall be paid at the redemption price, including interest accrued to the redemption date.

It is hereby determined by this Board that the issuance of the Consolidated Bonds provided herein, including without limitation, the redemption provisions, are in the best interests of the County and that the maturities and mandatory sinking fund and optional redemption provisions are consistent with the aggregate of the periodic separate maturities and mandatory sinking fund and optional redemption provisions of the respective resolutions authorizing the 2015 Series Bonds and the bond purchase agreement for the 2015 Series Bonds, which may be the same agreement for all three issues of the 2015 Series Bonds.

SECTION 3. That the Consolidated Bonds shall express upon their faces a summary statement of purposes encompassing the purposes stated in the resolutions authorizing the 2015 Series Bonds and may state that they are issued in pursuance of this resolution. The Consolidated Bonds shall be in fully registered form without coupons, shall bear the signatures of at least two members of this Board and of the County Auditor, provided that any or all such signatures may be facsimile signatures, may bear the seal of such County Auditor or a facsimile thereof, and shall bear the manual authenticating signature of an authorized representative of The Huntington National Bank, Cleveland, Ohio (the "Paying Agent and Registrar") for the Consolidated Bonds. The principal amount of each Consolidated Bond shall be payable at the principal office of the Paying Agent and the Registrar and interest thereon shall be made on each interest payment date to the person whose name appears on the record date (May 15 and November 15 for June 1 and December 1 interest, respectively) on the Consolidated Bond registration records as the registered holder thereof, by check or draft mailed to such registered holder at his address as it appears on such registration records.

The Consolidated Bonds shall be transferable by the registered holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Paying Agent and Registrar upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Paying Agent and Registrar. The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall not be required to transfer any Consolidated Bond during the 15-day period preceding any interest payment date or preceding any selection of Consolidated Bonds to be redeemed, or after such Consolidated Bond has been selected for partial or complete redemption, and no such transfer shall be effective until entered upon the registration records maintained by the Paying Agent and Registrar. Upon such transfer, a new Consolidated Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations of the same maturity and for the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor.

The County and the Paying Agent and Registrar may deem and treat the registered holders of the Consolidated Bonds as the absolute owners thereof for all purposes, and neither the County nor the Paying Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

SECTION 4. That the provisions of the respective resolutions authorizing the 2015 Series Bonds relating to security and sources of payment, federal tax status of the 2015 Series Bonds and of interest payable thereon, are hereby incorporated by reference into this resolution and the Consolidated Bonds.

SECTION 5. That the Consolidated Bonds shall be sold to Ross, Sinclaire & Associates, LLC (the "Purchaser") at not less than 97% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of delivery, as determined by the County Administrator or the Budget Director without further action of this Board pursuant to the Purchaser’s offer to purchase which such officer is hereby authorized to accept. The County Administrator or the Budget Director are hereby authorized to execute and deliver a purchase agreement for the Bonds (the "Bond Purchase Agreement") in such form as may be approved by the officer executing the same, such officer’s execution thereof on behalf of the County to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval, and to make the necessary arrangements with the Purchaser to establish the date, location, procedure and conditions for the delivery of the Consolidated Bonds to the Purchaser, to give all appropriate notices and certificates and to take all steps necessary to effect the due execution and delivery of the Consolidated Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Bond Purchase Agreement. The proceeds from the sale of the Consolidated Bonds, except as any premium and accrued interest received, shall be apportioned, deposited and credited in accordance with Section 133.32 of the Ohio Revised Code to the respective purposes and funds in accordance with the amount of each issue of 2015 Series Bonds and for which purposes such proceeds are hereby appropriated. Any premium and accrued interest received from such sale shall be transferred to the bond retirement fund to be applied to the payment of the principal and interest of the Consolidated Bonds in the manner provided by law.

509

SECTION 6. That at least two members of this Board, the County Auditor, the County Administrator and/or the Budget Director are separately hereby authorized, alone or with others, to prepare and distribute to prospective purchasers of the Consolidated Bonds and other interested parties, a preliminary official statement with respect to the Consolidated Bonds on behalf of this County, which shall be in substantially the form heretofore submitted to this Board with such changes thereto as such officials may approve, and which shall be deemed final for purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12(b)(1) except for certain information excluded therefrom in accordance with such Rule and which will be provided in the final official statement.

The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of a continuing disclosure certificate dated the date of issuance and delivery of the Consolidated Bonds (the "Continuing Disclosure Certificate") in connection with the issuance of the Consolidated Bonds. Failure to comply with any such provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not constitute a default on the Consolidated Bonds; however, any holder of the Consolidated Bonds may take such action as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance, to cause the County to comply with its obligations under this paragraph and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate.

SECTION 7. That at least two members of this Board, the County Auditor, the County Administrator and/or the Budget Director are hereby separately authorized, alone or with others, to execute and deliver an agreement with the Paying Agent and Registrar for its services as paying agent, registrar and transfer agent for the Consolidated Bonds in such form as such officers may approve, the execution thereof by such officer to be conclusive evidence of such authorization and approval.

SECTION 8. That for purposes of this Resolution, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Book entry form" or "book entry system" means a form or system under which (i) the beneficial right to payment of principal of and interest on the Consolidated Bonds may be transferred only through a book entry, and (ii) physical Consolidated Bond certificates in fully registered form are issued only to the Depository or its nominee as registered owner, with the Consolidated Bonds "immobilized" to the custody of the Depository, and the book entry maintained by others than this County is the record that identifies the owners of beneficial interests in those Consolidated Bonds and that principal and interest.

"Depository" means any securities depository that is a clearing agency under federal law operating and maintaining, together with its Participants or otherwise, a book entry system to record ownership of beneficial interests in Consolidated Bonds or principal and interest, and to effect transfers of Consolidated Bonds, in book entry form, and includes and means initially The Depository Trust Company (a limited purpose trust company), New York, New York.

"Participant" means any participant contracting with a Depository under a book entry system and includes security brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies, and clearing corporations.

All or any portion of the Consolidated Bonds may be initially issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system, and the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Consolidated Bonds, notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution. If and as long as a book entry system is utilized with respect to any of such Consolidated Bonds: (i) there shall be a single Consolidated Bond of each maturity; (ii) those Consolidated Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as registered owner, and immobilized in the custody of the Depository; (iii) the beneficial owners of Consolidated Bonds in book entry form shall have no right to receive Consolidated Bonds in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iv) ownership of beneficial interests in any Consolidated Bonds in book entry form shall be shown by book entry on the system maintained and operated by the Depository and its Participants, and transfers of the ownership of beneficial interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its Participants; and (v) the Consolidated Bonds as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by this County.
