SECTION 2.1 AUTHORIZATION OF 2002 BOND. Subject and pursuant to the
provisions of this Ordinance, an obligation of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, to be
known as its "Stormwater Utility Revenue Bond, Series 2002" is hereby authorized to be issued
in the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) for the
purpose of financing the costs of the 2002 Project.

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.

02002- $3 Million Bond Golden Shores Stormwater Utility
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 2002 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 2002 Bond payable during each year that the 2002 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 2002 Bond reflecting such
altered schedule of payments (and the Bondholder shall be obligated to return to the City
for cancellation the 2002 Bond 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 2002 Bond from the gross
income of the Bondholder for federal income tax purposes.
Principal of and interest on the 2002 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 2002 Bond shall be numbered in such manner as may be
prescribed by the Registrar.
The 2002 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.
The City may prepay the 2002 Bond in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time,
without penalty or premium, by paying to the registered holder all or part of the principal amount
of the 2002 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
registered owner 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 2002 Bond, such prepayment shall be
applied against the obligation of the City to pay future amortization installments on the 2002
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 2002 Bond is to be paid, upon
8
02002- $3 Million Bond Golden Shores Stormwater Utility
presentation and surrender of the 2002 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 2002 Bond is to be paid, upon presentation of
such 2002 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 2002 Bond in the principal amount not
redeemed. Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (ii) above, so long as the 2002 Bond 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 Bond shall continue to bear interest until payment thereof.
The 2002 Bond shall be subject to tender for purchase at the option of the registered
owner thereof, in whole or in part, on the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the 2002 Bond at a
purchase price equal to the then unpaid principal balance thereof. In order to exercise such
option, the registered owner of the 2002 Bond shall give the Finance Director written notice of
its exercise of such option during the period commencing 240 days and ending 180 days prior to
the tenth anniversary of the issuance of the 2002 Bond.
SECTION 2.3 EXECUTION OF THE 2002 BOND. The 2002 Bond 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 2002 Bond may be manual or facsimile
signatures. In case anyone or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed the 2002
Bond shall cease to be such officer of the City before the 2002 Bond so signed and sealed shall
have been actually sold and delivered, such 2002 Bond may nevertheless be sold and delivered
as herein provided and may be issued as if the person who signed or sealed such 2002 Bond had
not ceased to hold such office. The 2002 Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the City
by such person who at the actual time of the execution of the 2002 Bond shall hold the proper
office, although at the date the 2002 Bond shall be actually delivered such person may not have
held such office or may not have been so authorized.
The 2002 Bond 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 2002 Bond shall bear thereon such certificate of
authentication shall it be entitled to any right or benefit under this Ordinance and no 2002 Bond
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
9
02002- $3 Million Bond Golden Shores Stormwater Utility

authenticated have been duly authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance and that the

SECTION 2.4 NEGOTIABILITY. REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION.
The Registrar shall keep books for the registration of the 2002 Bond and for the registration of
transfers of the 2002 Bond. The 2002 Bond shall be transferable at the option of the registered
Owner thereof 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 Securities 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 registered Owner or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the
transfer of such 2002 Bond, the City shall issue in the name of the transferee a new 2002 Bond.
The City, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall deem and treat the person in
whose name the 2002 Bond shall be registered upon the books kept by the Registrar as the
absolute Owner of such 2002 Bond, whether such 2002 Bond shall be overdue or not, for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on such 2002
Bond as the same become due and for all other purposes. All such payments so made to any
such Owner or upon his/her order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability
upon such 2002 Bond 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 2002 Bond is exercised, the
City shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the 2002 Bond in accordance
with the provisions of this Ordinance. The 2002 Bond surrendered in any such transfers shall
forthwith be delivered to the Registrar and canceled by the Registrar in the manner provided in
this Section. The City or the 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 2002 Bond 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 2002 Bond shall
thereupon be promptly canceled. The 2002 Bond 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 2002 Bond, and one executed certificate shall be filed with
10
02002- $3 Million Bond Golden Shores Stormwater Utility
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 2002 BOND. In
case any 2002 Bond shall become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, the City shall execute and
the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a new 2002 Bond of like date, maturity and
denomination as the 2002 Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost; provided that, in the case
of any mutilated 2002 Bond, such mutilated 2002 Bond shall first be surrendered to the City and,
in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed 2002 Bond, 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 2002 Bond shall be about to mature or have matured, instead of issuing a
duplicate 2002 Bond, the City may pay the same without surrender thereof. The City and the
Registrar (if not the City's Finance Department) may charge the Owner of such 2002 Bond their
reasonable fees and expenses in connection with this transaction. Any 2002 Bond surrendered
for replacement shall be canceled in the same manner as provided in Section 2.4 hereof.
Any such duplicate 2002 Bond issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute additional
contractual obligations on the part of the City, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed 2002
Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate 2002 Bond shall be entitled to equal
proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on the source and security for payment from Pledged
Revenues with the 2002 Bond issued hereunder.

counsel to the Bank, regarding, as the case may be, the due authorization, execution, delivery,
validity and enforceability of the 2002 Bond and the pledge of the Pledged Revenues therefore
and the due adoption of this Ordinance (enforceability of such instruments may be subject to
standard bankruptcy exceptions and the like) and the exclusion of interest on the 2002 Bond
from gross income for federal income tax purposes, that the 2002 Bond is not a specified "private
activity bond" within the meaning of Section 57(a)(5) of the Code and, therefore, the interest on
the 2002 Bond 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 2002
11
02002- $3 Million Bond Golden Shores Stormwater Utility
Bond owned by corporations may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax which is

"qualified tax-exempt obligation" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code; and
(h) Deliver to the Bank an opinion of the City Attorney, satisfactory to the Bank and
its counsel, regarding, as the case may be, the due authorization, execution, delivery, validity and
enforceability of the 2002 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
(i) 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 Ordinance.

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 2002 Bond shall be adjusted so that the
2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 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 2002 Bond
shall be adjusted to the product obtained by multiplying the interest rate on the 2002 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 2002 Bond, and (ii) the TEFRA Adjustment in
effect as of the date of the original issuance and delivery of the 2002 Bond.
For the purpose hereof: (1) "Maximum Corporate Tax Rate" means on the date of
original issuance and delivery of the 2002 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.

COVENANTS, FUNDS AND APPLICATION THEREOF
SECTION 3.1 2002 BOND NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY. The
2002 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 2002 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 2002 BOND SECURED BY PLEDGE OF PLEDGED REVENUES.
From and after the issuance of the 2002 Bond, and continuing until the payment of the 2002
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 2002 Bond.
SECTION 3.3 COVENANTS OF THE CITY. As long as any of the principal of or
interest on the 2002 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 2002 Bond remaining unpaid, together with interest accrued and
to accrue thereon, the City covenants with the Bondholders as follows:
G) Tax Covenants Relating to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(10) In order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for purposes of
federal income taxation of interest on the 2002 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.
(11) 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 2002 Bond, would cause the 2002 Bond to be a
"private activity bond" or "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of Sections 141(a) and 148(a),
respectively, of the Code.
(12) The City shall make any and all payments required to be made to the
United States Department of the Treasury in connection with the 2002 Bond pursuant to Section
148(f) of the Code.
14
02002- $3 Million Bond Golden Shores Stormwater Utility
(13) 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 2002 Bond, the covenants contained in this Section shall
survive the payment of the 2002 Bond and the interest thereon, including any payment or
discharge thereof pursuant to Section 3.6 of this Ordinance.
(k) Establishment of Debt Service Fund. There is hereby created and established the
following fund entitled the "Sunny Isles Beach Stormwater Utility 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 Stormwater Utility Fee 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.
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.
(I) Disposition of Pledged Revenues. Not later than the fifteenth day of each month
commencing August 15, 2002, the City shall deposit in the Debt Service Fund the proceeds of
the Stormwater Utility Fee in an amount equal to one-half (112) of an amount sufficient to pay
the principal of and interest becoming due on the 2002 Bond on October 1, 2002, and beginning
October 15,2002 in an amount equal to one-third (113) of the principal of and interest becoming
due on the 2002 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 Stormwater
Utility Fee 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 Stormwater Utility Fee (or other legally available moneys) into the Debt
Service Fund in an amount sufficient to pay the outstanding principal of and interest on the 2002
Bond.

(m) Charge of Storm water Utility Fee. Without the prior written consent of the
Bank, the City will not repeal, amend or modify the Stormwater Utility Ordinance in any manner
so as to (i) impair or adversely affect the power and obligation of the City to impose and collect
the Stormwater Utility Fee, or (ii) impair or adversely affect in any manner the pledge of the
Stormwater Utility Fee made herein.
Without the prior written consent of the Bank, the City will not change, revise or reduce
the Stormwater Utility Fee 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 Stormwater Utility Fee 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 1.35x coverage of the principal and interest requirements on the 2002 Bond and
all other obligations secured by 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.
(n) Enforcement of Collections. The City will diligently enforce and collect the
Stormwater Utility Fee, will take steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and
collection of such Stormwater Utility Fee as shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted
or authorized by law, and will maintain accurate records with respect thereof.
(0) 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 2002 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 2002 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 Stormwater Utility Fee to pay the principal of and interest on the 2002 Bond coming 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 information regarding the City as the Bank may reasonably request.
