Section 1. That it is necessary to issue and sell bonds of the Board of Education in a principal sum not to exceed $3,042,520 (the "Bonds") for the purpose of acquiring, constructing and installing energy conservation measures, including costs described in Section 133.15(B) of the Ohio Revised Code, under authority of and pursuant to the general laws of the State of Ohio, particularly Section 133.06(G) of the Ohio Revised Code and pursuant to Sections 54A, 54F and 6431(f) of the Code.

The Board of Education hereby makes an irrevocable election to have subsection (f) of Section 6431 of the Code apply to the Bonds.

Section 2. That the Bonds shall be issued in a principal amount not to exceed $3,042,520, with such final principal amount to be determined by the Treasurer for the purpose aforesaid. The Bonds shall (i) be dated as determined by the Treasurer of the Board of Education, (ii) be numbered from R-1 upwards in order of issuance, (iii) be of the denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, except for a bond of the first maturity which may be in a denomination of $1.00 or any integral multiple thereof, provided that each Bond shall be of a single maturity, (iv) pay interest annually or semi-annually at a rate not to exceed eight percent per annum, and (v) mature or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on the dates and in the amounts determined by the Treasurer of the Board of Education, provided that the final maturity of the Bonds shall be not later than fifteen years from the date of issuance thereof or such maturity date necessary to preserve their Qualified School Construction Bond status. The Bonds may also be subject to optional redemption prior to maturity upon such terms as determined by the Treasurer of the Board of Education and set forth in the Certificate of Award, as hereinafter authorized.

(cont.)

If on the date that is three years from the issuance of the Bonds (or if an extension has been obtained as provided in Section 54A(d)(2)(B)(iii) of the Code, the last date of such extension) it is determined that the District has expended less than 100 percent of the "available project proceeds" (as defined in Section 54A(e)(4) of the Code) for one or more "qualified purposes" (as defined in Section 54F(a)(1) of the Code), the District shall, within 90 days after the end of such period, redeem a portion of the Bonds in an amount to be determined in the same manner as the amount of nonqualified bonds required to be redeemed under Section 142 of the Code is determined (the "Redemption Amount"); provided, however, that the redemption to be made hereunder shall only be made upon the delivery of an opinion of nationally-recognized bond counsel that such redemption is necessary to maintain the status of the Bond as a "qualified school construction bond" for purposes of Sections 54F and 6431(f) of the Code.

The Bonds shall be designated "School Energy Conservation Improvements Bonds (Qualified School Construction Bonds), Series 2011," and may have other distinguishing series or name designations as determined by the Treasurer of the Board of Education.

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

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, and shall bear the signatures of the President and Treasurer of the Board of Education; provided that either or both of such signatures may be facsimiles. The Bonds shall bear the manual authenticating signature of an authorized representative of a bank or trust company designated by the Treasurer without further action of the Board of Education to serve as Paying Agent, Registrar and Transfer Agent (the "Paying Agent and Registrar") for the Bonds. The principal amount of each Bond and any interest thereon 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 (the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding each interest payment date) on the Bond registration records as the registered holder thereof, by check or draft mailed to such registered holder at such holder's 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 Board of Education 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 Board of Education 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 Board of Education nor the Paying Agent and Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Treasurer of the Board of Education is hereby authorized 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.

The Bonds shall initially be issued in "Book-Entry-Only" form through the services of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York, in accordance with the Blanket Issuer's Letter of Representations between the School District and DTC.
