pay the debt charges on the Bonds (and any securities issued in anticipation thereof) must be passed and
certified to the County Auditor of Coshocton County, Ohio (the “County Auditor”) in order to permit the
Board to consider the levy of such a tax, and must request that the County Auditor certify to the Board the
current total taxable value of the School District and the estimated average annual property tax levy,

required to pay the debt charges on the Bonds (and any securities issued in anticipation thereof) over the
stated maximum maturity of the Bonds.
