enforceability of the 1999B Bond and the first perfected pledge of the Pledged Revenues therefor, and
the due adoption of this Ordinance (enforceability may be subject to standard bankruptcy exceptions
and the like); and
( e) Deliver to the Bank a general certificate of the City in form satisfactory to the Bank
and its counsel certifying, among other things, that the City is in compliance with the terms of the

SECTION 2.7 INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT. If the interest on the 1999B
Bond while registered in the name of the Bank becomes includable in the gross income of the Bank for
federal income tax purposes as determined in the manner set forth below (herein a "Determination of
Taxability") the interest rate on the 1999B, Bond shall be adjusted so that the 1999B Bond shall bear
interest at the Prime Rate. A Determination of Taxability shall have deemed to occur when (i) the
Bank has been advised in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that the interest payable on the
1999B Bond must be includable in the gross income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes or (ii)
the entry by a court of a final judgment or order or the promulgation by the Internal Revenue Service
of a final ruling or decision, in either such case to the effect that the interest on the 1999B Bond is
includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of the Bank.
A Determination of Taxability shall not include inclusion of interest on any 1999B Bond in the
income of the Bank for purposes of any alternative minimum tax, environmental tax or branch profits
tax or on account of the Bank. being a "substantial user" or a "related person" within the meaning of
Section 147(a) of the Code.
In the case of (i) above, no Determination of Taxability shall be deemed to occur unless the
City has been given timely written notice by the Bank of such determination by the Internal. Revenue
Service and afforded an opportunity to participate in and seek at its own expense, a final administrative
determination or determination by a court of competent jurisdiction (from which no further right of
appeal exists) as to the existence of such Determination of Taxability; provided that the City, at its own
expense, delivers to the Bank an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such appeal or action for
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 1999B 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
12
become payable after the Maturity Date of the 1999B 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 1999B 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 1999B 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 1999B 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 1999B Bond or as of such
subsequent date, as the case may be.
Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the interest rate on the 1999B Bond
shall be adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the interest rate on the 1999B 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 1999B Bond, and (ii) the TEFRA Adjustment in effect as
of the date of the original issuance and delivery of the 1999B Bond.
For the purpose hereof: (1) "Maximum Corporate Tax Rate" means on the date of original
issuance and delivery of the 1999B Bond 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 Adjustment" 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.

ARTICLE m
COVENANTS, FUNDS AND APPLICATION THEREOF
SECTION 3.1 1999B BOND NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY.
The 1999B 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
1999B 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 1999B BOND SECURED BY PLEDGE OF PLEDGED
REVENUES. From and after the issuance of the 1999B Bond, and continuing until the payment of the
1999B 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 1999B Bond. The pledge of the Pledged Revenues
for payment of principal and interest on the 1999B Bond is on a parity with the pledge of the Pledged
Revenues for payment of principal and interest on the City's outstanding Utilities Tax Revenue Bond,
Series 1998 under the 1998 Bond Ordinance and the pledge of the Pledged Revenues for payment of
principal and interest on the City's outstanding Utilities Tax Revenue Bond, Series 1999 under the
1999 Bond Ordinance.
SECTION 3.3 COVENANTS OF THE CITY. As long as any of the principal of or
interest on the 1999B 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 1999B Bond remaining unpaid, together with interest accrued and to accrue
thereon, the City covenants with the Bondholders as follows:
(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 1999B 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 1999B Bond, would cause the 1999B Bond to be a "private
activity bond" or "arbitrage bond" 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 1999B Bond pursuant to Section 148(t) of
the Code.
14
(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 1999B Bond, the covenants contained in this Section shall survive the
payment of the 1999B 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 "Sunny Isles Beach Utilities Tax Revenue Bond Debt Service Fund"
(hereinafter referred to as the "Debt Service Fund"). 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 1999B Bond and the City's outstanding Utilities Tax Revenue Bond,
Series 1998 and the City's outstanding Utilities Tax Revenue Bond, Series 1999 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
commencing August 15, 1999, the City shall deposit in the Debt Service Fund the proceeds of the
Utilities Tax in an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest becoming due on the 1999B Bond on October 1, 1999, and beginning October 15, 1999 in an
amount equal to one-third (1/3) of the principal of and interest becoming due on the 1999B 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 business 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 1999B
15
Bond. The provisions of this subsection are in addition to the requirements of Section 3.3(c) of the
1998 Bond Ordinance and Section 3.3(c) of the 1999 Bond Ordinance regarding the disposition of the
proceeds of the Utilities Tax.
(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 1999B Bond and the City's outstanding Utilities Tax Revenue Bond, Series
1998 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
(f) 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 1999B 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 1999B 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 1999B
Bond coming due in the fiscal year coyered by such annual budget. The City shall provide the Bank
with a copy of its approyed annual budget within 30 days after the final adoption thereof and with such
other financial information regarding the City as the Bank may reasonably request.
