judicial or administrative review is not without merit and there is a reasonable possibility that the
judgment, order, ruling or decision from which such appeal or action for judicial or administrative
review is taken will be reversed, vacated or otherwise set aside.
In the event of a Determination of Taxability, the City covenants that it shall also pay any
interest, additions to tax or penalties, resulting from the interest on the 1998 Bond being includable in
the Bank's gross income for federal income tax purposes, and any arrears in interest resulting from such
Determination of Taxability. Any such additional amounts (established to the satisfaction of the City)
shall be payable by the City to the Bank on the next succeeding Payment Date or, if such amounts
become payable after the Maturity Date of the 1998 Bond within 60 days of the date the City is
notified by the Bank that such amounts are due.
In addition to the foregoing provisions of this section, the interest rate on the 1998 Bond shall
be adjusted automatically as of the effective date of any change in the Maximum Corporate Tax Rate
(hereinafter defined) or in the Preference Reduction Rate (hereinafter defined), presently 20%, based
upon the following calculations; provided, however, that if the 1998 Bond is not a Qualified Tax-
Exempt Obligation within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), on the date of its original issuance and delivery, or if the 1998 Bond at any time
subsequent to its original issuance and delivery no longer qualifies as a Qualified Tax-Exempt
Obligation, then the Preference Reduction Rate shall be adjusted as of the date of original issuance and
delivery of the 1998 Bond or as of such subsequent date, as the case may be.
10
Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the interest rate on the 1998 Bond shall be
adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the interest rate on the 1998 Bond by a fraction, the
numerator of which is equal to the sum of: (i) the product of the Fully Taxable Equivalent (hereinafter
defined) times one minus the Maximum Corporate Tax Rate in effect as of the day of adjustment, and
(ii) the TEFRA Adjustment (hereinafter defined) in effect as of the date of adjustment; and the
denominator of which is equal to the sum of: (i) the product of the Fully Taxable Equivalent times one
minus the Maximum Corporate Tax Rate in effect as of the date of the original issuance and delivery of
the 1998 Bond, and (ii) the TEFRA Adjustment in effect as of the date of the original issuance and
delivery of the 1998 Bond.
For the purpose hereof: (I) "Maximum Corporate Tax Rate" means on the date of original
issuance and delivery of this 1998 Certificate 35% and thereafter the maximum marginal rate of
income tax imposed on corporations under Section 11 of the Code or any successor provision; (2)
"TEFRA Adjustmenf' means an adjustment equal to the product of the following: Cost of Funds
multiplied by the applicable Maximum Corporate Tax Rate multiplied by the applicable Preference
Reduction Rate; (3) "Cost of Funds" means one hundred (100) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is equal to the total interest expense of SunTrust Banks, Inc., for its immediately preceding
tax year, and the denominator of which is equal to the average total assets of SunTrust Banks, Inc., but
at no time will be determined to exceed the cost of Fed Funds; (4) "Preference Reduction Rate" means
the percentage reduction to be applied to the amount allowable as a deduction under Chapter I of the
Code with respect to any financial institution preference item (as such term is defined in Section 291(e)
of the Code); and (5) "Fully Taxable Equivalent" means the ten (10) year U.S. Treasury yield plus 0.95
percent, expressed as a number and not as a percentage. For the purposes of this paragraph and the
two preceding paragraphs, all percentages shall be expressed as decimals.

COVENANTS, FUNDS AND APPLICATION THEREOF
SECTION 3.1 1998 BOND NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY. The
1998 Bond shall not be or constitute an indebtedness of the City within the meaning of any
constitutional, statutory or other limitation of indebtedness, but shall be secured solely by and payable
from the Pledged Revenues. No Bondholder shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of the ad
valorem taxing power of the City, or taxation in any form of any real property therein, to pay said 1998
Bond or the interest thereon. The pledge of the Pledged Revenues will not constitute a lien upon any
property of the City.
SECTION 3.2 1998 BOND SECURED BY PLEDGE OF PLEDGED
REVENUES. From and after the issuance of the 1998 Bond, and continuing until the payment of all
1998 Bond as to principal and interest, the Pledged Revenues shall continue to be pledged for the
prompt payment of principal of and interest on said 1998 Bond.
SECTION 3.3 COVENANTS OF THE CITY. As long as any of the principal of or
interest on the 1998 Bond shall be outstanding and unpaid, or until there shall have been set apart in the
Debt Service Fund in accordance with Section 3.6 hereof a sum sufficient to pay, when due, the entire
principal of the 1998 Bond remaining unpaid, together with interest accrued and to accrue thereon, the
City covenants with the Bondholders as follows:
11
(a) Tax Covenants Relating to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(1) In order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal
income taxation of interest on the 1998 Bond, the City covenants to comply with each requirement of
the Code. In furtherance of the covenant contained in the preceding sentence, the City agrees to
continually comply with the provisions of the Tax Certificate, as such certificate may be amended from
time to time, as a source of guidance for achieving compliance with the Code.
(2) The City covenants and agrees with the Bondholders that the City shall not
take any action or omit to take any action, which action or omission, if reasonably expected on the date
of initial issuance and delivery of the 1998 Bond, would cause the 1998 Bond to be a IIprivate activity
bondsll or lIarbitrage bondll within the meaning of Sections 141(a) and 148(a), respectively, of the
Code.
(3) The City shall make any and all payments required to be made to the United
States Department of the Treasury in connection with the 1998 Bond pursuant to Section 148(t) of the
Code.
(4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long
as necessary in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for purposes of federal income
taxation of interest on the 1998 Bond, the covenants contained in this Section shall survive the payment
of the 1998 Bond and the interest thereon, including any payment or discharge thereof pursuant to
Section 3.6 of this Ordinance.
(b) Establishment of Debt Service Fund. There is hereby created and established the
following fund entitled the IISunny Isles Beach Utilities Tax Revenue Bond Debt Service Fundll
(hereinafter referred to as the IIDebt Service Fund II). The Debt Service Fund shall constitute a trust
fund for the benefit of the Bondholder and shall be held by the City in an account maintained at the
Bank and shall be kept separate and distinct from all other funds of the City, and shall be used only for
the purpose and in the manner provided in this Ordinance. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
preceding sentence, the City may deposit the proceeds of the Utilities Tax in a commingled account
maintained at the Bank for the City, provided that the City maintains adequate accounting procedures
to reflect and control the restricted allocations of the funds on deposit therein for the various purposes
of such funds. The designation and establishment of the Debt Service Fund in and by this Ordinance
shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent self-balancing fund,
as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to
constitute an allocation of certain revenues of the City for certain purposes and to establish certain
priorities for application of such revenues as provided herein.
The City may withdraw any excess amounts remaining in the Debt Service Fund after
payment has been made on the 1998 Bond on any Payment Date to be used for any lawful municipal
purpose,
Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Fund may be invested in Authorized
Investments at the written direction of the City, provided such investments mature not later than the
next succeeding Payment Date. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Code and the preceding
paragraph, all income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of the moneys on
deposit in the Debt Service Fund shall remain on deposit in the Debt Service Fund and be used in the
same manner as other moneys on deposit therein.
(c) Disposition of Pledged Revenues. Not later than the fifteenth day of each month
12
commencing June 15, 1998, the City shall deposit in the Debt Service Fund the proceeds of the Utilities
Tax in an amount equal to one-quarter (1/4) of an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest
becoming due on the 1998 Bond on October 1, 1998, and beginning September 15, 1998 in an amount
equal to one-quarter (1/4) of the principal of and interest becoming due on the 1998 Bond on the next
Payment Date, and shall further cause to be deposited into the Debt Service Fund one business day
prior to each Payment Date the proceeds of the Utilities Tax in an amount necessary to satisfY any
deficiency in the Debt Service Fund on such date; provided, however, that such deposit of the interest
and principal amount shall not be required to be made to the extent that moneys on deposit in the Debt
Service Fund are sufficient for such purpose. The City covenants to deposit, on the Qusiness day prior
to the Maturity Date, the proceeds of the Utilities Tax (or other legally available moneys) into the Debt
Service Fund in an amount sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of and interest on the 1998 Bond.
(d) Levy of Utilities Tax. Without the prior written consent of the Bank, the City will not
repeal, amend or modify the Utilities Tax Ordinance in any manner so as to (i) impair or adversely
affect the power and obligation of the City to levy and collect the Utilities Tax, or (ii) impair or
adversely affect in any manner the pledge of the Utilities Tax made herein.
Without the prior written consent of the Bank, the City will not change, revise or reduce
the Utilities Tax if, in the opinion of the City Manager, such change, revision or reduction will
result in producing less Pledged Revenues unless, in the opinion of the City Manager, such rates,
fees and charges as so changed, revised or reduced will produce sufficient Pledged Revenues to
comply with the requirements of the next succeeding paragraph.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, from time to time and as often as it
shall appear necessary the City shall revise the Utilities Tax as may be necessary or proper in
order that the Pledged Revenues shall at all times be sufficient in each fiscal year of the City to
provide an amount at least equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the principal and interest
requirements on the 1998 Bond becoming due and payable during such fiscal year. The City
covenants that, if the total amount of Pledged Revenues realized in any fiscal year of the City shall
be less than the amounts referred to above for such fiscal year, it shall, before the 15th day of
November of the following fiscal year, take such actions as shall enable the City to comply with
the coverage requirements of this Section during such following fiscal year.
( e) Enforcement of Collections. The City will diligently enforce and collect the Utilities
Tax, will take steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection of such Utilities Tax as
shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted or authorized by law, and will maintain accurate
records with respect thereof
(I) Budget and Other Financial Information.. The City shall provide the Bank with a
copy of its audited general purpose financial statements within 120 days of the close of each fiscal year
during which the 1998 Bond shall remain outstanding. The City Manager or the Finance Director shall
also certify to the Bank at that time that the City is not then in default of its obligations under this
Ordinance or the 1998 Bond, or, if the City shall then be in default, shall explain in writing the nature of
such default, the steps being taken by the City to cure such default and the estimated time by which
such default will be cured. The City shall also provide the Bank with unaudited financial statements
not less often than semiannually. Such unaudited statements shall be delivered to the Bank within 30
days after the fiscal period covered by such statements. The City shall demonstrate in each annual
budget that there are sufficient proceeds of the Utilities Tax to pay the principal of and interest on the
1998 Bond corning due in the fiscal year covered by such annual budget. The City shall provide the
Bank with a copy of its approved annual budget within 30 days after the final adoption thereof and
with such other financial infonnation regarding the City as the Bank may reasonably request.
