FINANCIAL ADVISORY AGREEMENT
This Financial Advisory Agreement (the II Agreement") is made and entered into by and between
The City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida ("Issuer") and First Southwest Company ("FSC") effective as of the
date executed by the Issuer as set forth on the signature page hereof.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Issuer will have under consideration from time to time the authorization and
issuance of indebtedness in amounts and forms which cannot presently be determined and, in connection
with the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of such indebtedness, Issuer desires to retain an
independent financial advisor; and
WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to obtain the professional services of FSC to advise the Issuer
regarding the issuance and sale of certain evidences of indebtedness or debt obligations that may be
authorized and issued or otherwise created or assumed by the Issuer (hereinafter referred to collectively
as the "Debt Instruments") from time to time during the period in which this Agreement shall be
effective; and
WHEREAS, FSC is willing to provide its professional services and its facilities as financial advisor
in connection with all programs of financing as may be considered and authorized by Issuer during the
period in which this Agreement shall be effective.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Issuer and FSC, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, do hereby agree as follows:
SECTION I
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Upon the request of an authorized representative of the Issuer, FSC agrees to perform the financial
advisory services stated in the following provisions of this Section I; and for having rendered such
services, the Issuer agrees to pay to FSC the compensation as provided in Section V hereof.
A. Financial Planning. At the direction of Issuer, FSC shall:
1. Survey and Analysis. Conduct a survey of the financial resources of the Issuer to
determine the extent of its capacity to authorize, issue and service any Debt Instruments
contemplated. This survey will include an analysis of any existing debt structure as
compared with the existing and projected sources of revenues which may be pledged to
secure payment of debt service and, where appropriate, will include a study of the trend of
the assessed valuation, taxing power and present and future taxing requirements of the
Issuer. In the event revenues of existing or projected facilities operated by the Issuer are to be
pledged to repayment of the Debt Instruments then under consideration, the survey will take
into account any outstanding indebtedness payable from the revenues thereof, additional
revenues to be available from any proposed rate increases and additional revenues, as
projected by consulting engineers employed by the Issuer, resulting from improvements to
be financed by the Debt Instruments under consideration.
2. Future Financings. Consider and analyze future financing needs as projected by the
Issuer's staff and consulting engineers or other experts, if any, employed by the Issuer.
3. Recommendations for Debt Instruments. On the basis of the information developed by
the survey described above, and other information and experience available, submit to the
Issuer recommendations regarding the Debt Instruments under consideration, including such
elements as the date of issue, interest payment dates, schedule of principal maturities,
options of prior payment, security provisions, and such other provisions as may be
appropriate in order to make the issue attractive to investors while achieving the objectives of
the Issuer. All recommendations will be consistent with the goal of designing the Debt
Instruments to be sold on terms which are advantageous to the Issuer, including the lowest
interest cost consistent with all other considerations.
4. Market Information. Advise the Issuer of our interpretation of current bond market
conditions, other related forthcoming bond issues and general information, with economic
data, which might normally be expected to influence interest rates or bidding conditions so
that the date of sale of the Debt Instruments may be set at a favorable time.
5. Elections. In the event it is necessary to hold an election to authorize the Debt
Instruments then under consideration, FSC will assist in coordinating the assembly of such
data as may be required for the preparation of necessary petitions, orders, resolutions,
ordinances, notices and certificates in connection with the election, including assistance in the
transmission of such data to a firm of municipal bond attorneys ("Bond Counsel") retained
by the Issuer.
B. Debt Management and Financial Implementation. At the direction of Issuer, FSC shall:
1. Method of Sale. Evaluate the particular financing being contemplated, g1Vmg
consideration to the complexity, market acceptance, rating, size and structure in order to
make a recommendation as to an appropriate method of sale, and:
a. If the Debt Instruments are to be sold by an advertised competitive sale, FSC will:
(1) Supervise the sale of the Debt Instruments, reserving the right, alone or in
conjunction with others, to submit a bid for any Debt Instruments issued under
this Agreement which the Issuer advertises for competitive bids; however, in
keeping with the provisions of Rule G-23 of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board, FSC will request and obtain written consent to bid prior to submitting a
bid, in any instance wherein FSC elects to bid, for any installment of such Debt
Instruments;
(2) Disseminate information to prospective bidders, organize such informational
meetings as may be necessary, and facilitate prospective bidders' efforts in making
timely submission of proper bids;
(3) Assist the staff of the Issuer in coordinating the receipt of bids, the safekeeping
of good faith checks and the tabulation and comparison of submitted bids; and
(4) Advise the Issuer regarding the best bid and provide advice regarding
acceptance or rejection of the bids.
b. If the Debt Instruments are to be sold by negotiated sale, FSC will:
(1) Recommend for Issuer's final approval and acceptance one or more investment
banking firms as managers of an underwriting syndicate for the purpose of
negotiating the purchase of the Debt Instruments.
(2) Cooperate with and assist any selected managing underwriter and their
counsel in connection with their efforts to prepare any Official Statement or
Offering Memorandum. FSC will cooperate with and assist the underwriters in
the preparation of a bond purchase contract, an underwriters agreement and other
related documents. The costs incurred in such efforts, including the printing of the
documents, will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Issuer's agreement
with the underwriters, but shall not be or become an obligation of FSC, except to
the extent specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement or assumed in writing
by FSC.
r--
I
(3) Assist the staff of the Issuer in the safekeeping of any good faith checks, to the
extent there are any such, and provide a cost comparison, for both expenses and
interest which are suggested by the underwriters, to the then current market.
(4) Advise the Issuer as to the fairness of the price offered by the underwriters.
2. Offering Documents. Coordinate the preparation of the notice of sale and bidding
instructions, official statement, official bid form and such other documents as may be
required and submit all such documents to the Issuer for examination, approval and
certification. After such examination, approval and certification, FSC shall provide the Issuer
with a supply of all such documents sufficient to its needs and distribute by mail or, where
appropriate, by electronic delivery, sets of the same to prospective purchasers of the Debt
Instruments. Also, FSC shall provide copies of the final Official Statement to the purchaser of
the Debt Instruments in accordance with the Notice of Sale and Bidding Instructions.
3. Credit Ratings. Make recommendations to the Issuer as to the advisability of obtaining
a credit rating, or ratings, for the Debt Instruments and, when directed by the Issuer,
coordinate the preparation of such information as may be appropriate for submission to the
rating agency, or agencies. In those cases where the advisability of personal presentation of
information to the rating agency, or agencies, may be indicated, FSC will arrange for such
personal presentations, utilizing such composition of representatives from the Issuer as may
be finally approved or directed by the Issuer.
4. Trustee, Paying Agent, Registrar. Upon request, counsel with the Issuer in the selection
of a Trustee and/or Paying Agent/Registrar for the Debt Instruments, and assist in the
negotiation of agreements pertinent to these services and the fees incident thereto.
5. Financial Publications. When appropriate, advise financial publications of the
forthcoming sale of the Debt Instruments and provide them with all pertinent information.
6. Consultants. After consulting with and receiving directions from the Issuer, arrange for
such reports and opinions of recognized independent consultants as may be appropriate for
the successful marketing of the Debt Instruments.
7. Auditors. In the event formal verification by an independent auditor of any calculations
incident to the Debt Instruments is required, make arrangements for such services.
8. Issuer Meetings. Attend meetings of the governing body of the Issuer, its staff,
representatives or committees as requested at all times when FSC may be of assistance or
service and the subject of financing is to be discussed.
9. Printing. To the extent authorized by the Issuer, coordinate all work incident to printing
of the offering documents and the Debt Instruments.
10. Bond Counsel. Maintain liaison with Bond Counsel in the preparation of all legal
documents pertaining to the authorization, sale and issuance of the Debt Instruments.
11. Changes in Laws. Provide to the Issuer copies of proposed or enacted changes in
federal and state laws, rules and regulations having, or expected to have, a significant effect
on the municipal bond market of which FSC becomes aware in the ordinary course of its
business, it being understood that FSC does not and may not act as an attorney for, or
provide legal advice or services to, the Issuer.
12. Delivery of Debt Instruments. As soon as a bid for the Debt Instruments is accepted by
the Issuer, coordinate the efforts of all concerned to the end that the Debt Instruments may be
delivered and paid for as expeditiously as possible and assist the Issuer in the preparation or
verification of final closing figures incident to the delivery of the Debt Instruments.
13. Debt Service Schedule; Authorizing Resolution. After the closing of the sale and
delivery of the Debt Instruments, deliver to the Issuer a schedule of annual debt service
requirements for the Debt Instruments and, in coordination with Bond Counsel, assure that
the paying agent/ registrar and/ or trustee has been provided with a copy of the authorizing
ordinance, order or resolution.
