SECTION 2.2
BOND.
DESCRIPTION OF BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE AND
(a) THE BOND. The text of the Bond shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be necessary and desirable, as
evidenced by the City's execution thereof.
The Bond (initially issued in one (1) typewritten certificate) shall be dated the date of initial
issuance. The Bond shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Bond from time
to time at the Interest Rate. Principal of and interest on the Bond shall be payable in equal
installments on each quarterly Payment Date commencing on the first January 1, April 1, July 1 or
October 1 next succeeding its issuance, with such payments to be determined on the basis of a
twenty year mortgage amortization schedule and an assumed interest rate of five percent (5%) per
annum. All previously unpaid principal of the Bond and all previously accrued and unpaid interest
on the Bond shall be payable on the Bond Maturity Date. The Bond shall be issuable in registered
form only.
In the event that the City shall determine that seasonal fluctuations in Pledged Revenues
have made it impracticable for the City to make the quarterly payments of principal of and interest
on the Bond at the times and in the amounts described in the preceding paragraph, the City may
alter the schedule of such quarterly payments to correspond to such seasonal fluctuations, subject to
the following conditions:
(i) such altered schedule of payments shall not reduce the sum total of principal and interest
payments on the Bond payable during each year that the Bond shall remain outstanding;
(ii) the Bondholder shall be given a written copy of such altered schedule of payments not
less than 30 days before it shall take effect;
(iii) the City shall provide the Bondholder with a replacement Bond reflecting such altered
schedule of payments (and the Bondholder shall be obligated to return to the City for
cancellation the Bond that it shall be holding at the time of such replacement); and
(iv) the City shall provide the Bondholder, at the City's sole cost and expense, an opinion of
Bond Counsel to the effect that the imposition of such altered schedule of payments shall
not have an adverse effect on the exclusion of interest on the Bond from the gross income of
the Bondholder for federal income tax purposes.
Principal and interest on the Bond shall be payable at the office of the Paying Agent (the
designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent if the City's Finance Department is not the
Paying Agent). The Bond shall be numbered in such manner as may be prescribed by the Registrar.
The Bond shall be payable, with respect to interest and principal, in any coin or currency of
the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts.
10
The City may prepay the Bond in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, without
penalty or premium, by paying to the Bondholder all or part of the principal amount of the Bond,
together with the unpaid interest accrued on the amount of principal so prepaid to the date of such
prepayment. Each prepayment shall be made on such date and in such principal amount as shall be
specified by the City in a written notice delivered to the Bondholder not less than ten (10) business
days prior thereto. If such prepayment shall be for only a portion of the unpaid principal balance of
the Bond, such prepayment shall be applied against the obligation of the City to pay future
amortization installments on the Bond in the inverse order in which such amortization installments
shall become due. Notice having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount stated in such
notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date stated in such notice; and the amount
of principal shall be paid (i) in case the entire unpaid balance of the principal of the Bond is to be
paid, upon presentation and surrender of the Bond to the office of the Paying Agent (the designated
corporate trust office, if the Paying Agent is not the City's Finance Department), and (ii) in case
only part of the unpaid balance of principal of the Bond is to be paid, upon presentation of such
Bond at the office of the Paying Agent (the designated corporate trust office, if the Paying Agent is
not the City's Finance Department) for notation thereon of the amount of principal then paid or for
issuance of a replacement Bond in the principal amount not redeemed. Notwithstanding the
provisions of clause (ii) above, so long as the Bond shall be registered in the name of the
Bondholder, a partial prepayment may be effected by payment to the Bondholder of the principal
without surrender of the Bond. If, on the prepayment date, funds for the payment of the principal
amount to be prepaid shall have been provided to the Paying Agent, as above provided, then from
and after the prepayment date interest on such principal amount of the Bond shall cease to accrue.
If said funds shall not have been so paid on the prepayment date with respect to principal and on the
next succeeding Payment Date with respect to interest, the principal amount of the Bond shall
continue to bear interest until payment thereof.
The First Tranche of the Bond shall be subject to purchase by the City in whole or in part at
the option of the Bondholder on December 15, 2009 at a purchase price equal to the advanced
principal amount of the First Tranche of the Bond then unpaid, plus interest accrued to the date of
purchase. In order to exercise such option, the Bondholder shall provide the City with written
notice thereof not later than June 15, 2009. The Second Tranche of the Bond shall be subject to
purchase by the City in whole or in part at the option of the Bondholder on December 30, 2009 at a
purchase price equal to the advanced principal amount of the Second Tranche of the Bond then
unpaid, plus interest accrued to the date of purchase. In order to exercise such option, the
Bondholder shall provide the City with written notice thereof not later than June 30, 2009. The
Third Tranche of the Bond shall be subject to purchase by the City in whole or in part at the option
of the Bondholder on January 14,2010 at a purchase price equal to the advanced principal amount
of the Third Tranche of the Bond then unpaid, plus interest accrued to the date of purchase. In
order to exercise such option, the Bondholder shall provide the City with written notice thereof not
later than July 15,2009.
(B) THE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE. The text of the Bond Anticipation Note shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B with such omissions, insertions and variations
as may be necessary and desirable, as evidenced by the City's execution thereof.

dated the date of initial issuance. Unless the interest rate on the Bond is converted to the Prime
Rate or is otherwise subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7 hereof, the
Bond Anticipation Note shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Bond
Anticipation Note from time to time at the BAN Interest Rate. Principal of and interest on the
Bond Anticipation Note shall be payable in equal installments on each quarterly Payment Date
commencing January 1,2000, with such payments to be determined on the basis of a twenty year
mortgage amortization schedule and an assumed interest rate of five percent (5%) per annum. All
previously unpaid principal of the Bond Anticipation Note and all previously accrued and unpaid
interest on the Bond Anticipation Note shall be payable on the BAN Maturity Date. The Bond
Anticipation Note shall be issuable in registered form only.
In the event that the City shall determine that seasonal fluctuations in Pledged Revenues
have made it impracticable for the City to make the quarterly payments of principal of and interest
on the Bond Anticipation Note at the times and in the amounts described in the preceding
paragraph, the City may alter the schedule of such quarterly payments to correspond to such
seasonal fluctuations, subject to the following conditions:

payments on the Bond Anticipation Note payable during each year that the Bond
Anticipation Note shall remain outstanding;
(ii) the Bank shall be given a written copy of such altered schedule of payments not less
than 30 days before it shall take effect;

cancellation the Bond Anticipation Note that it shall be holding at the time of such
replacement); and
(iv) the City shall provide the Bank, at the City's sole cost and expense, an opinion of Bond
Counsel to the effect that the imposition of such altered schedule of payments shall not have
an adverse effect on the exclusion of interest on the Bond Anticipation Note from the gross
income of the Bank for federal income tax purposes.
Principal and interest on the Bond Anticipation Note shall be payable at the office of the
Paying Agent (the designated corporate trust office of the Paying Agent if the City's Finance
Department is not the Paying Agent). The Bond Anticipation Note shall be numbered in such
manner as may be prescribed by the Registrar.
The Bond Anticipation Note shall be payable, with respect to interest and principal, in any
coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for
the payment of public and private debts.
12
The City may prepay the Bond Anticipation Note in whole or in part, at any time or from
time to time, without penalty or premium, by paying to the Bank all or part of the principal amount
of the Bond Anticipation Note, together with the unpaid interest accrued on the amount of principal
so prepaid to the date of such prepayment. Each prepayment shall be made on such date and in
such principal amount as shall be specified by the City in a written notice delivered to the Bank not
less than ten (10) business days prior thereto. If such prepayment shall be for only a portion of the
unpaid principal balance of the Bond Anticipation Note, such prepayment shall be applied against
the obligation of the City to pay future amortization installments on the Bond Anticipation Note in
the inverse order in which such amortization installments shall become due. Notice having been
given as aforesaid, the principal amount stated in such notice shall become due and payable on the
prepayment date stated in such notice; and the amount of principal shall be paid (i) in case the entire
unpaid balance of the principal of the Bond Anticipation Note is to be paid, upon presentation and
surrender of the Bond Anticipation Note to the office of the Paying Agent (the designated corporate
trust office, if the Paying Agent is not the City's Finance Department), and (ii) in case only part of
the unpaid balance of principal of the Bond Anticipation Note is to be paid, upon presentation of
such Bond Anticipation Note at the office of the Paying Agent (the designated corporate trust
office, if the Paying Agent is not the City's Finance Department) for notation thereon of the amount
of principal then paid or for issuance of a replacement Bond Anticipation Note in the principal
amount not redeemed. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (ii) above, so long as the Bond
Anticipation Note shall be registered in the name of the Bank, a partial prepayment may be effected
by payment to the Bank of the principal without surrender of the Bond Anticipation Note. If, on the
prepayment date, funds for the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid shall have been
provided to the Paying Agent, as above provided, then from and after the prepayment date interest
on such principal amount of the Bond Anticipation Note shall cease to accrue. If said funds shall
not have been so paid on the prepayment date with respect to principal and on the next succeeding
Payment Date with respect to interest, the principal amount of the Bond Anticipation Note shall
continue to bear interest until payment thereof.
SECTION 2.3 EXECUTION OF THE BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE AND
THE BOND. The Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note shall be executed in the name of the City
by the signature of the Mayor of the City and its official seal shall be affixed thereto or imprinted or
reproduced thereon and attested by the City Clerk. The signatures of the Mayor of the City and City
Clerk on the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note may be manual or facsimile signatures. In case
anyone or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed the Bond or the Bond Anticipation
Note shall cease to be such officer of the City before the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note so
signed and sealed shall have been actually sold and delivered, such Bond or Bond Anticipation
Note may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided and may be issued as if the person
who signed or sealed such Bond or Bond Anticipation Note had not ceased to hold such office. The
Bond or Bond Anticipation Note may be signed and sealed on behalf of the City by such person
who at the actual time of the execution of the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note shall hold the
proper office, although at the date the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note shall be actually
delivered such person may not have held such office or may not have been so authorized.
13
The Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note shall bear thereon a certificate of
authentication, in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, executed manually by the
Registrar (when the City's Finance Department shall act as Registrar, the certificate of
authentication shall be manually executed by the City's Finance Director). Only if a Bond or Bond
Anticipation Note shall bear thereon such certificate of authentication shall it be entitled to any right
or benefit under this Ordinance and no Bond or Bond Anticipation Note shall be valid or obligatory
for any purpose until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the
Registrar. The certificate of authentication of the Registrar upon the Bond or the Bond Anticipation
Note executed on behalf of the City shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond or the Bond
Anticipation Note so authenticated have been duly authenticated and delivered under this
Ordinance and that the Bondholder or the Bank, as the case may be, is entitled to the benefits of this
Ordinance.
SECTION 2.4 NEGOTIABILITY. REGISTRATION AND
CANCELLATION. The Registrar shall keep books for the registration of the Bond and the Bond
Anticipation Note and for the registration of transfers of the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note.
The Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note shall be transferable at the option of the Bondholder or
the Bank, as the case may be, to an institutional holder, but subject to the prior written approval of
the City's Finance Director (which shall not be unreasonably withheld if the intended transferee
provides a suitability letter addressed to the City as to the sophistication of the investor) unless such
institutional holder is a bank or trust company, or unless such institutional holder, which is not a
bank or trust company, certifies in writing to the City prior to the transfer that it is an accredited
investor within the meaning of Rule 501 of the Secmities Act of 1933, as amended and
supplemented, in which case such approval shall not be required, and upon surrender thereof at the
office of the Registrar (the designated corporate trust office of the Registrar if the City's Finance
Department is not the Registrar) with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar
duly executed by the Bondholder or the Bank, as the case may be, or its duly authorized attorney.
Upon the transfer of such Bond or Bond Anticipation Note, the City shall issue in the name of the
transferee a new Bond or Bond Anticipation Note.
The City, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall deem and treat the person in
whose name the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note shall be registered upon the books kept by the
Registrar as the absolute owner of such Bond or Bond Anticipation Note, whether such Bond or
Bond Anticipation Note shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on
account of, the principal of and interest on such Bond or Bond Anticipation Note as the same
become due and for all other purposes. All such payments so made to the Bondholder or the Bank
or upon its order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond or
Bond Anticipation Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the City, the Paying
Agent nor the Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In all cases in which the privilege of transferring the Bond or the Bond Anticipation
Note is exercised, the City shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the Bond or
the Bond Anticipation Note in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance. The Bond or the
Bond Anticipation Note surrendered in any such transfer shall forthwith be delivered to the
Registrar and canceled by the Registrar in the manner provided in this Section. The City or the
14
Registrar (if not the City's Finance Department) may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay
any tax, fee or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer.
The Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note paid or redeemed, in whole, either at or
before maturity, shall be delivered to the Registrar when the payment or redemption is made, and
such Bond shall thereupon be promptly canceled. The Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note so
canceled may at any time be destroyed by the Registrar, who shall execute a certificate of
destruction in duplicate by the signature of one of its authorized officers describing the Bond or the
Bond Anticipation Note, and one executed certificate shall be filed with the City and the other
executed certificate shall be retained by the Registrar (if not the City's Finance Department).
SECTION 2.5 MUTILATED. DESTROYED. STOLEN OR LOST BOND OR
BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE. In case any Bond or Bond Anticipation Note shall become
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, the City shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver a new Bond or Bond Anticipation Note of like date, maturity and denomination as the Bond
or Bond Anticipation Note so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost; provided that, in the case of any
mutilated Bond or Bond Anticipation Note, such mutilated Bond or Bond Anticipation Note shall
first be surrendered to the City and, in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond or Bond
Anticipation Note, there shall first be furnished to the City and the Registrar (if not the City's
Finance Department) evidence of such loss, theft, or destruction satisfactory to the City and the
Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory to them. In the event the Bond or Bond Anticipation
Note shall be about to mature or have matured, instead of issuing a duplicate Bond or Bond
Anticipation Note, the City may pay the same without surrender thereof. The City and the Registrar
(if not the City's Finance Department) may charge the Bondholder or the Bank their reasonable fees
and expenses in connection with this transaction. Any Bond or Bond Anticipation Note
surrendered for replacement shall be canceled in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4
hereof.
Any such duplicate Bond or Bond Anticipation Note issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute additional contractual obligations on the part of the City, whether or not the lost, stolen or
destroyed Bond or Bond Anticipation Note be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate
Bond or Bond Anticipation Note shall be entitled to equal proportionate benefits and rights as to
lien on the source and security for payment from Pledged Revenues with the Bond or Bond
Anticipation Note, as the case may be, issued hereunder.
SECTION 2.6 CONDITIONS FOR ISSUANCE OF THE BOND AND THE
BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE AND FOR THE MAKING OF ADVANCES
THEREUNDER.
(a) Prior to the issuance of each of the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note, the City shall
comply with the following conditions:
(i) Deliver to the Bondholder or the Bank, as the case may be, a fully
executed Tax Certificate; and
15
(ii) Deliver to the Bondholder or the Bank, as the case may be, a copy of
a completed and executed Form 8038-G to be filed by the City with the Internal
Revenue Service; and
(iii) Cause to be delivered to the Bondholder or the Bank, as the case may
be, an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may be counsel to the Bondholder or the
Bank, regarding, as the case may be, the due authorization, execution, delivery,
validity and enforceability of the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note, as the case
may be, and the pledge of the Pledged Revenues therefor and the due adoption of
this Ordinance (enforceability of such instrwnents may be subject to standard
bankruptcy exceptions and the like) and the exclusion of interest on the Bond or the
Bond Anticipation Note, as the case may be, from gross income for federal income
tax purposes, that the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note, as the case may be, is
not a specified "private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 57(a)(5) of the
Code and, therefore, the interest on the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note, as the
case may be, will not be treated as a preference item for purposes of computing the
alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code (however, a portion of
the interest on the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note owned by corporations may
be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax which is based in part on adjusted
current earnings). Such opinion shall also state that the Bond or the Bond
Anticipation Note, as the case may be, is a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" within
the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code; and
(iv) Deliver to the Bondholder or the Bank an opinion of the City
Attorney, satisfactory to the Bondholder and the Bank and their respective counsel,
regarding, as the case may be, the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity
and enforceability of the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note, as the case may be,
and the first perfected pledge of the Pledged Revenues therefor (subject only to the
prior and senior pledge of the Electric Utilities Tax for the payment of the City's
outstanding Revenue Bonds, Series 1998, Series 1999 and Series 1999B), and the
due adoption of this Ordinance (enforceability may be subject to standard
bankruptcy exceptions and the like); and
(v) Deliver to the Bondholder or the Bank a general certificate of the
City in form satisfactory to the Bondholder and its counsel certifying, among other
things, that the City is in compliance with the terms of the Ordinance.
(b) The City may request from time to time, and the Bank shall be obligated to advance,
$5,000,000 in maximum principal amount under the Bond Anticipation Note. No advance
requested by the City under the Bond Anticipation Note shall be for a principal amount less than
$200,000. The City may request from time to time, and the Bondholder shall be obligated to
advance, $23,300,000 in maximum principal amount under the Bond. No advance requested by the
City under the Bond Anticipation Note shall be for a principal amount less than $200,000.
16
Upon the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.6(b): (i) advances under
the Bond Anticipation Note shall be available on and after the date of original issuance and delivery
of the Bond Anticipation Note until the last business day of calendar year 2001; (ii) advances under
the First Tranche shall be available only on the date of original issuance and delivery of the Bond
and shall be applied solely to retire the Bond Anticipation Note; (ii) advances under the Second
Tranche shall be available on and after the first business day of calendar year 2000 until the last
business day of calendar year 2001; and (iii) advances under the Third Tranche shall be available on

2001. After the last business day of calendar year 2001, the Bank shall not be obligated to advance
any additional principal under the Bond Anticipation Note and the Bondholder shall not be
obligated to advance any additional principal under the Bond.
Except as set forth in this paragraph, the Bond shall not be issued and the First Tranche
shall not be advanced until the entire principal amount of the Bond Anticipation Note shall have
been advanced, no advance shall be made under the Second Tranche until the entire principal
amount of the First Tranche shall have been advanced, and no advance shall be made under the
Third Tranche until the entire principal amount of the Second Tranche shall have been advanced.
The City agrees that it shall: (i) request an advance under the Bond Anticipation Note in calendar
year 1999; (ii) request the advance under the First Tranche and an advance under the Second
Tranche in calendar year 2000; and (iii) request an advance under the Third Tranche in calendar
year 2001. If the Bondholder shall not have advanced in calendar year 2000 the entire $10,000,000
in principal amount of the Second Tranche, the first $200,000 requested to be advanced in calendar
year 2000 shall be allocated to the Second Tranche. If the Bondholder shall not have advanced in
calendar year 2001 the entire $8,300,000 in principal amount of the Third Tranche, the first
$200,000 requested to be advanced in calendar year 2001 shall be allocated to the Third Tranche.
Prior to any advance under the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note, the City shall comply
with the following conditions:
(i) Except in the case of the initial advance under the Bond and under the
Bond Anticipation Note, delivery of a written notice (signed by the City Manager
or Finance Director) of the City's request for an advance at least two (2) business
days prior to the date specified for such advance (such notice shall confirm that
the City is not in default under this Ordinance); and
(ii) In the case of the initial advance under the Bond in each calendar year,
delivery of a copy, certified by the City Clerk, of the resolution adopted by the
City Commission approving the Interest Rate applicable to advances in such
calendar year; and
(iii) With respect to the initial advance under the Bond in each of calendar
year 2000 and 2001, delivery of a Tax Certificate, dated as of the date of such
advance; and
17
(iv) With respect to the initial advance under the Bond in each of calendar
year 2000 and 2001, delivery ofa copy ofa completed and executed Form 8038-G
to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service; and
(v) With respect to the initial advance under the Bond in each of calendar
year 2000 and 2001, delivery of an opinion of the Bond Counsel to the same effect
as the opinion of Bond Counsel required under Section 2.6(a)(iii) above.
SECTION 2.7 INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT. The Interest Rate on the
Bond shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in the subsequent proceedings of the City approving
the Interest Rate.
If the interest on the Bond Anticipation Note 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 BAN Interest Rate shall be adjusted so that the Bond
Anticipation Note 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 Bond Anticipation Note 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 Bond Anticipation Note 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 Bond
Anticipation Note 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 Bond Anticipation Note
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
18
Payment Date or, if such amounts become payable after the BAN Maturity Date 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 BAN Interest Rate 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 Bond Anticipation
Note 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 Bond Anticipation Note 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 Bond
Anticipation Note or as of such subsequent date, as the case may be.
Upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the BAN Interest Rate shall be
adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the Interest Rate on the Bond Anticipation Note
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 Bond Anticipation Note, and (ii) the TEFRA
Adjustment in effect as of the date of the original issuance and delivery of the Bond Anticipation
Note.
For the purpose hereof: (1) "Maximum Corporate Tax Rate" means on the date of
original issuance and delivery of the Bond Anticipation Note 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.
In the event that there shall be more than one Interest Rate in effect at the time of any
adjustment of the Interest Rate required under this Section, a separate adjustment shall be
calculated for each Interest Rate then in effect.

ARTICLE III
COVENANTS, FUNDS AND APPLICATION THEREOF
SECTION 3.1 BOND AND BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE NOT TO BE
INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY. Neither the Bond nor the Bond Anticipation Note shall 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.
Neither the Bank nor the 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
Bond or Bond Anticipation note or the interest thereon. The pledge of the Pledged Revenues will
not constitute a lien upon any property of the City.
SECTION 3.2 BOND AND BOND ANTICIPATION NOTE SECURED BY
PLEDGE OF PLEDGED REVENUES. From and after the issuance of the Bond and the Bond
Anticipation Note, and continuing until the payment of the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note as
to principal and interest, the Pledged Revenues shall continue to be pledged for the prompt payment
of principal of and interest on said Bond and Bond Anticipation Note. The pledge of the Pledged
Revenues for payment of principal and interest on the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note is
subject only to the prior and senior pledge of the Electric Utilities Tax for the payment of the City's
outstanding Revenue Bonds, Series 1998, Series 1999 and Series 1999B. Additionally the Bond
Anticipation Note shall be payable from and secured by the proceeds of the Bond.
SECTION 3.3 COVENANTS OF THE CITY. As long as any of the principal of
or interest on the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note 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 Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note
remaining unpaid, together with interest accrued and to accrue thereon, the City covenants with the
Bondholder and the Bank 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 Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note, 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 Bondholder and the Bank 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 Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note,
would cause the Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note to be a "private activity bond" or "arbitrage
bond" within the meaning of Sections 141(a) and 148(a), respectively, of the Code.
20
(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 Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note
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 Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note, the covenants contained in
this Section shall survive the payment of the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note 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 Government Center Project 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 the Bank and shall be held by the City in an account
maintained at the Bank, for so long as the Bond Anticipation Note shall remain outstanding, and at
such other fmancial institution as the City shall designate thereafter 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 Bond Security in a commingled account maintained as described above,
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 Bond or the Bond Anticipation Note 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 December 30, 1999, the City shall
deposit in the Debt Service Fund the proceeds of the Bond Security in an amount sufficient to pay
the principal of an interest becoming due on the Bond Anticipation Note on January 1, 2000. Not
later than the fifteenth day of each month commencing January 15,2000, the City shall deposit in
the Debt Service Fund the proceeds of the Bond Security in an amount equal to one-third (1/3) of
the principal of and interest becoming due on the Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note on the next
Payment Date, and shall further cause to be deposited into the Debt Service Fund one business day
21
prior to each Payment Date the proceeds of the Bond Security 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 BAN Maturity Date and the Bond Maturity Date, the proceeds of the Bond
Security (or other legally available moneys) into the Debt Service Fund in an amount sufficient to
pay the outstanding principal of and interest on the Bond Anticipation Note and the Bond, as the
case may be.
(d) Maintenance of Bond Security. Without the prior written consent of the
Bondholder and the Bank, the City shall not repeal, amend or modify any ordinance, resolution or
agreement with respect to any element of the Bond Security in any manner and shall not knowingly
acquiesce in any attempt to eliminate or reduce, or the likely effect of which would be to eliminate
or reduce, the Pledged Revenues derived from any element of the Bond Security so as to:
(i) impair or adversely affect the power and obligation of the City to levy or collect any
element of the Bond Security;
(ii) impair or adversely affect in any manner the pledge of the Bond Security made herein;
or
(iii) diminish the Pledged Revenues to be received in each fiscal year while the Bond and
the Bond Anticipation Note shall remain outstanding below an amount equal to 1.10 times the
principal of and interest that shall become due and payable during such fiscal year.
The City shall vigorously resist all such attempts by others to eliminate or reduce any element of the
Bond Security. The City covenants to comply with all eligibility requirements, compliance with
which shall constitute a precondition to its ability to levy or collect any element of the Bond
Security or the Pledged Revenues.
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 Bond
Security, will take steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection of such Bond
Security as the same shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted or authorized by law, and
will maintain accurate records with respect thereto.
(t) Budget and Other Financial Information. The City shall provide the Bondholder
and 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 Bond and the Bond Anticipation Note shall remain
outstanding. The City Manager or the Finance Director shall also certify to the Bondholder and the
Bank at that time that the City is not then in default of its obligations under this Ordinance, the
22
Bond Anticipation Note or the 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 and Bondholder
with unaudited financial statements not less often than semiannually. Such unaudited statements
shall be delivered to the Bondholder and 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 Bond Security to pay the principal of and interest on the Bond Anticipation Note
and the Bond coming due in the fiscal year covered by such annual budget. The City shall provide
the Bondholder and the Bank with a copy of its approved annual budget within 30 days after the
final adoption thereof and with such other financial information regarding the City as the
