Township including, but not limited to, a 2.5 million gallon water storage reservoir, a pump station, meter pit upgrades, and paving,

WHEREAS,
the cost of the Project is estimated to be not
less than Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000); and
WHEREAS,
the Township Board of the Township has
determined to issue bonds and to use the proceeds of the sale of such bonds to finance all or part of the cost of the Project. NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that: AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS – PURPOSE. Bonds of the Township aggregating the
principal sum of not to exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) (the “Bonds”) shall be issued and sold pursuant to the provi-
sions of Act 34, and other applicable statutory provisions, for the purpose of refunding all or part of the Prior Bonds and for the
purpose of defraying all or part of the cost of acquiring and constructing the Project as determined by order of the Director of
Finance and Budget or the Supervisor. BOND DETAILS. The Bonds shall be designated “2016 Capital Improvement and
Refunding Bonds (General Obligation Limited Tax)”; shall be dated as of the date approved by order of the Director of Finance
and Budget or the Supervisor; shall be numbered from 1 upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000
each or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each maturity at the option of the purchaser
thereof; shall bear interest at a rate or rates per annum as shall be determined by order of the Director of Finance and Budget or
the Supervisor; shall be payable on such dates as shall be determined by order of the Director of Finance and Budget or the
Supervisor; and shall be serial bonds and/or term bonds and mature on such dates and in such years as shall be determined by
order of the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of
and interest on the Bond shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Principal shall be payable upon presentation and
surrender of the Bonds to the bond registrar and paying agent as they severally mature. Interest shall be paid to the registered
owner of each Bond as shown on the registration books at the close of business on the 15 th day of the calendar month preceding
the month in which the interest payment is due. Interest shall be paid when due by check or draft drawn upon and mailed by the
bond registrar and paying agent to the registered owner at the registered address. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The Bonds shall be sub-
ject to mandatory and/or optional redemption prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by order of
the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, if requested by the original purchaser
of the Bonds and determined by the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor, one fully-registered Bond for each matu-
rity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust
Company (“DTC”) for the benefit of other parties (the “Participants”) in the book-entry-only transfer system of DTC. In the event
the Township determines that it is in the best interest of the Township not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the
interests of the holders of the Bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued, the Township
may notify DTC and the bond registrar and paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability through
DTC of Bond certificates. In such event, the bond registrar and paying agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange Bond certificates
as requested by DTC and any Participant or “beneficial owner” in appropriate amounts in accordance with this resolution. DTC
may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the Township and
the bond registrar and paying agent and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the Township
may determine that DTC is incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the Township shall
use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depos-
itory), the Township and the bond registrar and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver Bond certificates in accordance with the
procedures established by this resolution. In the event Bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this resolution shall apply to,
among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such
certificates. Whenever DTC requests the Township and the bond registrar and paying agent to do so, the Township and the bond
registrar and paying agent shall cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to make available one or
more separate certificates evidencing the Bonds to any Participant having Bonds credited to its DTC account or to arrange for
another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with
respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if any, on such Bonds and all notices with respect to the Bonds
shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC. The Director of Finance and Budget and the Supervisor are each authorized to sign
the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations on behalf of the Township in such form as such official signing the Blanket Issuer
Letter of Representations deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the issuance of the Bonds in accordance with law
and this resolution. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor shall
designate, and may enter into an agreement with, a bond registrar and paying agent for the Bonds which shall be a bank or trust
company located in the State of Michigan that is qualified to act in such capacity under the laws of the United States of America
or the State of Michigan. The Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor from time to time as required may designate a
similarly qualified successor bond registrar and paying agent. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF
BONDS. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the Township by the manual or facsimile signatures of the Supervisor and
the Clerk and authenticated by the manual signature of the bond registrar and paying agent or an authorized representative of the
bond registrar and paying agent, and the seal of the Township (or a facsimile thereof) shall be impressed or imprinted on the Bonds.
After the Bonds have been executed and authenticated for delivery to the original purchaser thereof, they shall be delivered by the
Treasurer or the Director of Finance and Budget to the original purchaser of the Bonds upon receipt of the purchase price.
Additional Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the Supervisor and the Clerk may be delivered to the bond regis-
trar and paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with the exchange or transfer of the Bonds. The bond registrar
and paying agent shall indicate on each Bond the date of its authentication. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any
Bond, upon surrender thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond
registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered
owner thereof, may be exchanged for Bonds of any other authorized denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and
maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered Bond. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the books
of the Township, which shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such Bond togeth-
er with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner
or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the exchange or transfer of any Bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on behalf of the
Township shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of any
authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the
surrendered Bond. If, at the time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and delivers a new Bond pursuant to this sec-
tion, payment of interest on the Bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new Bond the fol-
lowing: “Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is _, _.” The Township and
the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any Bond shall be registered upon the books
of the Township as the absolute owner of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving pay-
ment of the principal of and interest on such Bond and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any such registered owner,
or upon his order, in accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this resolution shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and dis-
charge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Township nor the bond registrar and
paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Township agrees to indemnify and save the bond registrar and
paying agent harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in good
faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such registered owner. For every exchange or transfer of Bonds, the
Township or the bond registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other govern-
mental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person request-
ing such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer. The
bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange Bonds or portions of Bonds that have been selected
for redemption. FORM OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be in substantially the following form, with such changes thereto as
approved by the Director of Finance and Budget or the Supervisor within the parameters of this resolution: UNITED STATES
