8.1. Incremental Increase in Tax Increment Funds. Subject to
Sections 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5 below, the CRA covenants and agrees to make
available to Sawyer's Walk one hundred percent (100%) of the incremental
increases in tax increment funds actually received by the CRA from the County
and the City, generated by the increase above the assessed value for the Real
Property and any improvements constructed thereon over and above the
assessed value for the Real Property set forth in the Miami -Dade County ad
18
valorem property tax rolls for the year 2005 ("Incremental TIF") for qualifying
uses under applicable laws for use of tax increment funds until September 30,
2013. The CRA covenants and agrees to make the Incremental TIF available to
Sawyer's Walk within sixty (60) days of the CRA's actual receipt of the
Incremental TIF from the County and the City to be utilized by Sawyer's Waik
for qualifying uses permitted under applicable law for use of tax increment
funds with respect to the Project, and at the election of Sawyer's Walk, within
the Overtown project area, identified on Exhibit "N" attached hereto (the
"Overtown Project Area"). Sawyer's Walk acknowledges that the County and
the City withhold from the tax increment funds an administrative fee and funds
for the Children's Trust.
8.2. Use of Incremental TIF. Sawyer's Waik acknowledges and
agrees that the Incremental TIF may only be utilized in accordance with
qualifying uses under applicable law for use of tax increment funds and that
Sawyer's Walk shall not be entitled to, and the CRA will not disburse any of the
Incremental TIF to Sawyer's Walk unless and until Sawyer's Walk has been
able to establish to the CRA and, to the extent required by law or the Interlocal
Agreement, the County, that the use of said funds for the use proposed by
Sawyer's Walk is permissible under applicable law. Sawyer's Walk shall
submit to the CRA and, to the extent required by law or the Interlocal
Agreement, the County, any and all documentation that the CRA and/or the
County may request to establish that the proposed use of the Incremental TIF
qualifies for such use under applicable law. Sawyer's Walk further
acknowledges that all Incremental TIF shall be used solely in connection with
the development of the Project or within the Overtown Project Area.
8.3. Failure to Qualify. To the extent that Sawyer's Walk is not
able to establish to the CRA, and to the extent required under applicable laws
or the Interlocal Agreement, the County, that its proposed expenditures of the
Incremental TIF qualifies for use of the Incremental TIF under applicable laws
with respect to some or all of the Incremental TIF, the CRA agrees to make
such portions of the Incremental TIF funds which Sawyer's Walk is unable to
utilize under applicable law governing the use of tax increment funds available
for use by any governmental agency which can legally use the Incremental TIF
funds in connection with the Project, which entity is identified to the CRA by
Sawyer's Walk and which entity requests the funds from the CRA. If Sawyer's
Waik is unable to identify such an entity which wants to utilize the Incremental
TIF in connection with the Project, the CRA shall be entitled to utilize that
portion of the Incremental TIF for which Sawyer's Walk is unable to qualify for
use in connection with the Project for improvements within the Overtown
Project Area and the CRA shall not be required to make such funds available to
Sawyer's Walk.
19
8.4. Extension of the CRA. Sawyer's Walk acknowledges that it
will have no right to receive any Incremental TIF after the expiration of the
CRA which is to incur by September 30, 2013. In the event that the duration of
the CRA is extended, Sawyer's Walk acknowledges that notwithstanding the
extension of the term of the CRA, the CRA is not obligated to pay to Sawyer's
Walk any Incremental TIF generated from and after September 30, 2013. In
the event the term of the CRA is extended beyond September 30, 2013,
Sawyer's Walk shall have the right to request that the CRA pay to Sawyer's
Walk all or a portion of the Incremental TIF generated by the Project after
September 30, 2013, which request shall be treated like that of any other
property owner within the CRA Redevelopment Area. The Executive Director
shall present such request to the CRA Board for consideration with the
recommendation that the Executive Director deems appropriate under the
circumstances. The CRA Board shall not be obligated to approve the request or
be under any obligation to Sawyer's Walk as a result of the payment of the
Incremental TIF to Poinciana and Sawyer's Walk prior to September 30, 2013.
8.5. Subordination of Incremental TIF. Sawyer's Walk
acknowledges and agrees that the obligation of the CRA to make the payments
to Sawyer's Walk contemplated by Section 8.1 of the Agreement are junior and
subordinate to the obligations of the CRA to pay debt service with respect to the
$11,500,000.00 City of Miami, Florida, Community Redevelopment Revenue
Bonds, Series 1990, the obligations of the CRA with respect to the Grand
Central Project, and the obligations of the CRA to pay debt service on any
bonds issued in the future by the CRA or the City on the CRA's behalf. The
CRA covenants and agrees that the debt service coverage ratio on any new
bonds issued in the future by the CRA or the City on the CRA's behalf, which
are secured by tax increment funds based upon the estimated tax increment
funds shall not exceed One Hundred Twenty -Five Percent (125%). Under no
circumstances shall the CRA be obligated to make payments to Sawyer's Walk
from its general revenues or any other sources if tax increment revenues are
unavailable after the CRA makes all required payments under any obligations
which are senior to the Incremental TIF.
8.6. - Proposed Use of Incremental TIF. Within thirty (30) days of
the Effective Date, Poinciana and Sawyer's Walk shall deliver to the CRA and
the City a detailed explanation of their proposed use of the Incremental TIF
(the "Proposed TIF Use") together with an opinion letter (the "Attorney Opinion
Letter") from an attorney licensed to practice in the State of Florida stating
that the Proposed TIF Use is a permissible expenditure under all applicable
laws governing the use of the tax increment funds. The CRA and the City shall
have One Hundred (100) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement (the
"TIF Period") to analyze the Proposed TIF Use, to consult with the County
regarding the Proposed TIF Use, and to obtain a letter from the Office of the
County Attorney (the "County Letter") indicating whether the Proposed TIF
20
Use is a permissible expenditure under all applicable laws governing the use of
the Incremental TIF. If the City Attorney is not satisfied that the Proposed TIF
Use is a permissible expenditure under all applicable laws, irrespective of the
content of the County Letter, if the CRA and the City are able to obtain the
County Letter, the CRA and the City shall give Poinciana and Sawyer's Walk
written notice. that the City Attorney does not agree that the Proposed TIF Use
is a permissible expenditure under applicable laws prior to the expiration of the
TIF Period, in which event Sawyer's Walk shall have no right to use all or any
portion of the Incremental TIF. In such event, the sole remedy to Poinciana
and Sawyer's Walk shall be to terminate this Agreement on or before the
expiration of the Inspection Period. If Poinciana and Sawyer's Walk do not
terminate this Agreement during the Inspection Period, the CRA shall be under
no obligation to make the Incremental TIF available to Sawyer's Walk as
contemplated by this Section 8, unless there is a change in the law or Poinciana
and Sawyer's Walk propose an alternative Proposed TIF Use and such change
or alternative Proposed TIF Use is acceptable to the City Attorney and the City
Attorney renders an opinion to the CRA that the Proposed TIF Use is a
permissible expenditure under applicable laws.
8.7. In the event the City Attorney concludes that the Proposed
TIF Use is not a permissible expenditure under the applicable laws, so that the
Incremental TIF shall not be made available to Sawyer's Walk, Poinciana,
Sawyer's Walk, the City and the CRA agree to utilize their good faith efforts to
identify other sources of funds that may be available to fund or finance the
garage structures to be developed as part of the Project, with no guaranty that
any other funding sources will be identified or committed to the Project by the
City and the CRA.
8.8. Change in Use of Incremental TIF. Sawyer's Walk shall not
be permitted to change the Proposed TIF Use without the consent of the
Executive Director and the City Attorney, which consent shall not be granted
unless the City Attorney is satisfied that the new use proposed for the
Incremental TIF is a permissible expenditure under applicable laws governing
the use of tax increment funds.
8.9. Indemnification. Sawyer's Walk covenants and agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold the CRA harmless from any loss or damage that the
CRA may sustain, including attorney fees and costs, as a result of the actual
use of the Incremental TIF differing from the Proposed TIF Use, as such use
may be modified in accordance with Section 8.7 of the Agreement.
9. OMBUDSMAN. The parties recognize complexities associated
with the establishment of the Development Plan. It is also acknowledged that
the MUSP Approval and the other governmental approvals required in
connection with the Development Plan, as well as submission and approval of
21
building plans for the purpose of obtaining building permits for the
Development Plan, involves many departments and governmental agencies. In
order to assist in expediting the process, the City shall designate an employee
who is knowledgeable about the approvals process within the City to serve as
an ombudsman (the "Ombudsman") for the purpose of assisting in the
expediting of the processing of all applications filed with the City by Sawyer's
Walk with respect to the Development Plan. The City will establish a
reasonable level of authority in the Ombudsman so that this person has the
ability to serve in the role of expediter, with the ability to communicate with
the necessary departments and officials, and with Sawyer's Walk's
representatives in an attempt to expedite the approval process.

processor to identify and qualify potential purchasers of the Affordable Units to
be sold by Sawyer's Walk and Subsidized Units to be sold by the CRA, or its
designee, and implement the program developed by Sawyer's Walk to satisfy
