College Road. The building had not been updated cosmetically since the original construction. Initially, the focus was to bring the finishes up to date and correct known issues with the sprinkler system, windows, accessible route, and restrooms. During design many more items were discovered that need to be addressed that would make sense to include in this project.These included mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural issues. The final plans and bid documents were sent to our finance department and a Request for Bids was advertised on June 5, 2019. On July 18, 2019 bids were received by four interested contractors but the bids exceeded our available budget so the project was re- advertised on October 8, 2019. Bids were received by three firms with the low bidder being identified as Keystone Construction. While the new low bid is lower than the first round of bidders, it is still over the current budget. Staff has worked with the low bidder to try and identify areas that could be done differently to save money while maintaining the integrity of the project. After all items were considered, we arrived at a renovation cost of $1,732,894.00, which is $213,033 over the current budget. This includes accepting all Alternates except #4. The current approved budget for this project is $2,010,162 and the estimate of project costs is $2,223,195. Staff is requesting a budget amendment be approved in the amount of $213,033. This budget amendment will be funded through additional loan proceeds. If awarded, construction will start in January 2020 and substantial completion will be achieved by December 2020.

The 2020 Bonds will mature on [December 1] of the years and in the amounts and will bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months) as follows: PRINCIPAL INTEREST PRINCIPAL INTEREST YEAR AMOUNT RATE YEAR AMOUNT RATE (d) Both the principal of and the interest on the 2020 Bonds and any premiums on the prepayment thereof prior to maturity are payable in any lawful coin or currency of the United States of America which on the respective dates of payment thereof is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. Each 2020 Bond shall bear interest until its principal sum has been paid, but if such 2020 Bond has matured or has been called for prepayment and the prepayment date has occurred and funds are available for the payment thereof in full in accordance with the terms of the 2010 Indenture, such 2020 Bond shall then cease to bear interest as of the maturity date or prepayment date.

If no interest has been paid on the 2020 Bonds, 2020 Bonds executed and delivered in exchange for or on the registration of transfer of 2020 Bonds will be dated as of their date of initial execution and delivery. (e) The 2020 Bonds will be delivered by means of a book -entry system with no physical distribution of definitive 2020 Bonds made to the public. One definitive 2020 Bond for each maturity is to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC'), and immobilized in its custody. A book -entry system will be employed, evidencing ownership of the 2020 Bonds in the denomination of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof, with transfers of beneficial ownership effected on the records of DTC and its participants (the "DTC Participants ") pursuant to rules and procedures established by DTC. Each DTC Participant will be credited in the records of DTC with the amount of such DTC Participant's interest in the 2020 Bonds. Beneficial ownership interests in the 2020 Bonds may be purchased by or through DTC Participants. The holders of these beneficial ownership interests are hereinafter referred to as the "Beneficial Owners." The Beneficial Owners will not receive definitive 2020 Bonds representing their beneficial ownership interests. The ownership interests of each Beneficial Owner will be recorded through the records of the DTC Participant from which such Beneficial Owner purchased its 2020 Bonds. Transfers of ownership interests in the 2020 Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by DTC Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. So LONG AS CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE FOR DTC, IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE 2020 BONDS, THE TRUSTEE SHALL TREAT CEDE & CO. AS THE ONLY OWNER OF THE 2020 BONDS FOR ALL PURPOSES UNDER THE 2010 INDENTURE AND THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENT, INCLUDING RECEIPT OF ALL PRINCIPAL AND PREMIUM, IF ANY, AND INTEREST ON THE 2020 BONDS, RECEIPT OF NOTICES, VOTING AND REQUESTING OR DIRECTING THE TRUSTEE TO TAKE OR NOT TO TAKE, OR CONSENTING TO, CERTAIN ACTIONS UNDER THE 2010 INDENTURE OR THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENT. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c) below, payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, with respect to the 2020 Bonds, so long as DTC is the only Owner of the 2020 Bonds, will be paid by the Trustee directly to DTC or its nominee, as provided in the Blanket Letter of Representation dated August 21, 1995, from the County to DTC (the "Letter of Representation "). DTC will remit such payments to DTC Participants, and such payments thereafter will be paid by DTC Participants to the Beneficial Owners. The Trustee and the County are not and will not be responsible or liable for payment by DTC or DTC Participants, for sending transaction statements or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC or DTC Participants. If DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the 2020 Bonds and a successor securities depository is not identified to replace DTC, the County will cause fully registered definitive 2020 Bonds to be delivered to DTC. The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book -entry only transfers through DTC in accordance with DTC's rules and, in that event, the County will cause fully registered definitive 2020 Bonds to be delivered in accordance with DTC's rules and procedures. The County, the Corporation and the Trustee have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (1) the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any DTC Participant; (2) the payment by DTC or any DTC participant of any amount due to any beneficial owner in respect of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2020 Bonds; (3) the delivery or timeliness of delivery by DTC or any DTC Participant of any notice due to any beneficial owner which is required or permitted under the terms of the Contract, the 2010 Indenture or this Second Supplement to be given to Owners; (4) the selection of PPAB 5211976v1 Board of Commissioners - December 2, 2019 ITEM: 7 - 4 - 7 beneficial owners to receive payments in the event of any partial prepayment of the 2020 Bonds; or (5) any consent given or other action taken by DTC or its nominee, as Owner.

Interest on the 2020 Bonds will be paid by the Trustee by check or draft mailed on the Interest Payment Date to each Owner as its name and address appear on the register kept by the Trustee at the close of business on the on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month next preceding an Interest Payment Date (the "Record Date "). At the written request of any Owner of at least $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Bonds, principal and interest may be payable by wire transfer at the address specified in writing by the Owner by the Record Date. As long as Cede & Co. or another DTC nominee is the registered owner of the 2020 Bonds, the Trustee shall make all payments with respect to the 2020 Bonds by wire transfer in immediately available funds. CUSIP number identification with appropriate dollar amounts for each CUSIP number shall accompany all payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any 2020 Bonds, whether by check or by wire transfer. Section 2.5. Arbitrage and Tax Covenants. The Corporation covenants that it will not take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any action that would adversely affect the exclusion from federal income taxation of the interest on the 2020 Bonds and, if it should take or permit, or omit to take or cause to be taken, any such action, the Corporation will take or cause to be taken all lawful actions within its power necessary to rescind or correct such actions or omissions promptly on having knowledge thereof. The Corporation acknowledges that the continued exclusion of interest on the 2020 Bonds from an Owner's gross income for federal income tax purposes depends, in part, on compliance with the arbitrage limitations imposed by Section 148 of the Code. The Corporation covenants that it will comply, or cause the County to comply, with all the requirements of Section 148 of the Code, including the rebate requirements, and that it will not permit at any time any of the proceeds of the 2020 Bonds or other funds under their control be used, directly or indirectly, to acquire any asset or obligation, the acquisition of which would cause the 2020 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" for purposes of Section 148 of the Code.

One 2020 Bond for each maturity will be issued to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC'), and immobilized in its custody.

Each 2020 Bond evidences a proportionate undivided interest in the right to receive certain revenues Pursuant to the Contract. The obligation of the County to make Installment Payments and Additional Payments (as defined below) is a limited obligation of the County, payable solely from currently budgeted appropriations of the County; does not constitute a general obligation or other indebtedness of the County within the meaning of the Constitution of the State of North Carolina; and does not constitute a direct or indirect pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of the County within the meaning of the Constitution of the State of North Carolina.

The 2020 Bonds, together with the 2010 Bonds and the 2012 Bonds, evidence proportionate undivided interests in rights to receive certain Revenues pursuant to the Contract. Under the Contract, the Corporation has agreed to advance to the County the Purchase Price, the proceeds from which have been and will be used to finance and refinance the Projects, and the County has agreed to pay directly to the A -2 PPAB 5211976v1 Board of Commissioners - December 2, 2019 ITEM: 7 -4-18 Trustee semiannual payments (the "Installment Payments ") in repayment of the Purchase Price, the proceeds of which are required by the Indenture to be distributed by the Trustee to the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the 2020 Bonds, the 2010 Bonds, the 2012 Bonds and any Additional Bonds (collectively, the "Bonds ").

Each such Term Bond or portion thereof so delivered or previously purchased or prepaid and canceled by the Trustee shall be credited by the Trustee at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the Installment Payment obligation corresponding to such mandatory prepayment date. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of such Term Bonds or portions thereof exceeds the Installment Payment obligation on such mandatory prepayment date, any excess over such amount shall be credited against future Installment Payment obligations, as directed by the County, and the principal amount of Term Bonds to be prepaid shall be accordingly reduced. The County must on or before the 45th day next preceding each such mandatory prepayment date furnish the Trustee with its certificate indicating to what extent the provisions of (A) and (B) of the preceding paragraph are to be availed of with respect to such mandatory prepayment payment. (c) Selection. If called for prepayment in part, the Bonds to be prepaid shall be prepaid in such order as the County shall select and within the same maturity as selected by DTC pursuant to its rules and procedures or, if the book -entry system with respect to the 2020 Bonds is discontinued as provided in the First Supplement, by lot within a maturity in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may determine. A -4 PPAB 5211976v1 Board of Commissioners - December 2, 2019 ITEM: 7 -4-20 When 2020 Bonds are to be prepaid in part, the schedule of Installment Payments set forth in the Contract shall be recalculated as necessary by the Trustee in the manner required by the Indenture. The Trustee shall pay to the Owners of 2020 Bonds so prepaid the amounts due on their respective 2020 Bonds at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee on presentation and surrender of the 2020 Bonds; provided, however, that, if prepaid in part, the 2020 Bonds may be prepaid only in multiples of $5,000. Prepayments shall be accompanied by a written designation prepared by the Trustee stating the portion of the payment representing the unpaid principal amount of the 2020 Bond immediately before the payment, the portion of the payment representing interest, and the remaining portion, if any, which shall be designated and paid as a prepayment premium. If the Owner of any 2020 Bond of a denomination greater than the amount being prepaid fails to present such 2020 Bond to the Trustee for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such 2020 Bond will, nevertheless, become due and payable on the date fixed for prepayment to the extent of the denomination being prepaid and to that extent only. Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, there will be no prepayment of less than all of the Bonds Outstanding. The Indenture permits amendments thereto and to the Contract and the Deed of Trust on the agreement of the Corporation and the Trustee and with the approval of the Owners of not less than a majority or, in certain instances, 100% in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Bonds at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Corporation and the Trustee to enter into amendments to the Indenture, the Contract and the Deed of Trust without the consent of the Owners of the 2020 Bonds for certain purposes. Any consent or request by the Owner of this 2020 Bond is conclusive and binding on such Owner and on all future Owners of this 2020 Bond and of any bond executed and delivered on the transfer of this 2020 Bond, whether or not notation of such consent or request is made on this 2020 Bond.

The payment for, acceptance of and execution and delivery of any receipt for the Bonds and any other instruments in connection with the Closing shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes and binding upon the Underwriter, provided that any such action by the Underwriter shall not impose any obligation or liability upon them other than as may arise as expressly set forth in this Purchase Contract. (a) The Underwriter agrees to assist the County in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the County at Closing an "issue price" or similar certificate, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the County and Parker Poe Adams & Bernstein, LLP as bond counsel to the County ( "Bond Counsel "), to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or prices to the public of the Bonds.

[At or promptly after the execution of this Purchase Contract, the Underwriter shall report to the County the price or prices at which the Underwriter has sold to the public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the County the prices at which Bonds of that maturity have been sold by the Underwriter to the public.
