The Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall bear interest at such fixed or variable rate or rates, mature on such date or dates (but not later than the date which is twenty-five (25) years from the date of issuance of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds), subject to such optional and mandatory redemption provisions and issued as Serial Bonds and/or Term Bonds (with such Amortization Installments), all in accordance with the Bond Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be sold to the Underwriters at an aggregate purchase price of not less than ninety-nine percent (99%) (including Underwriters' discount but excluding original issue discount or premium) of the original aggregate principal amount of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds), (ii) the Series 2024A Infrastructure Bonds shall bear a true interest cost rate not to exceed five and one half percent (5.50%) per annum; and (iii) the Series 2024B Infrastructure Bonds shall bear a true interest cost rate not to exceed seven percent (7.00%) per annum; and provided further, that for any series of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bons issued with variable interest rates, compliance with such maximum interest rates shall be determined on the basis of the initial rate of interest on such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds. D. The Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be payable from and secured solely by a lien upon and pledge of the Pledged Funds, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Bond Resolution. The payment of the principal of, redemption price, if applicable, and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be secured forthwith equally and ratably by a pledge of and lien upon the Pledged Funds. The City does hereby irrevocably pledge the Pledged Funds to the payment of the principal of, redemption price, if applicable and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Bond Resolution. The pledge of and lien upon the Pledged Funds shall attach at the time of delivery of the Series 2024 Bonds. Section 8. Levy of Limited Ad Valorem Tax; Payment and Pledge. In each Fiscal Year while the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds are Outstanding, the City shall assess, levy and collect the Limited Ad Valorem Tax to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds (as well as the other Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds) as the same shall become due. The Limited Ad Valorem Tax shall be assessed, levied and collected in the same manner and at the same time as other ad valorem taxes are assessed, levied and collected and the proceeds of said tax shall be applied solely to the payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds (and the other Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds and any other voter approved debt at the time outstanding). The City will diligently enforce its right to receive the Limited Ad Valorem Tax revenues and will diligently enforce and collect such taxes. The City will not take any action that will impair or adversely affect its right to levy, collect and receive said taxes, or impair or adversely affect in any manner the pledge made herein or the rights of the Bondholders. Section 9. Covenant to Budget and Appropriate. To the extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law and budgetary processes, the City covenants that it will, in each year any payments are due on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, budget and appropriate (a) sufficient legally available Limited Ad Valorem Taxes as set forth in the Bond Resolution, and if necessary, (b) such legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to make such payments as they become due. Such covenants and agreements on the part of the City to budget and appropriate such legally available amounts as stated above shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all such required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants of the City, the City does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the City, which generate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues. Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor, except as provided below, does it preclude the City from pledging in the future its Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the City to levy and collect any particular Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give any Bondholder a prior claim on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the City. Such covenant to budget and appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or hereinafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on other Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds and other debt instruments of the City). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate in its general annual budget for the purposes and in the manner stated herein shall have the effect of making available for the payment of payments due on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, in the manner described herein, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and to the extent permitted by applicable law placing on the City a positive duty to budget and appropriate, by amendment if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder; subject, however, to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, welfare and safety of the inhabitants of the City or which are legally mandated by applicable law. The City represents that the issuance of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds serves essential public purposes by financing the Infrastructure Projects of the City in accordance with the Bond Resolution. Notwithstanding anything the Bond Resolution to the contrary, the City shall not be required to budget and appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in an amount in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds in any given Fiscal Year. The obligation of the City under this Section shall be secured only by the legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues actually budgeted, appropriated and transferred to the Bond Fund, as provided herein. Section 10. Payment Covenant; Bond Fund. A. The City covenants that it shall duly and punctually pay from the Pledged Funds the principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds at the dates and place and in the manner provided herein and in the Series 2024 Bonds according to the true intent and meaning thereof and all other amounts due under the Bond Resolution. B. The City covenants and agrees to establish and maintain a debt service fund to be known as the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds Bond Fund ("Bond Fund") and shall establish as separate accounts therein, the Series 2024A Principal and Interest Account, the Series 2024A Bond Amortization Account, the Series 2024B Principal and Interest Account and the Series 2024B Bond Amortization Account. Any Bond Amortization Account shall only be established in the event that any portion of either Series of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds are issued as Term Bonds, in which case Amortization Installments on such Term Bonds shall be deposited into the Series 2024A Bond Amortization Account and/or the Series 2024B Bond Amortization Account, as applicable. On or before the fifth day preceding each Payment Date, the City shall deposit into the Bond Fund, in the applicable accounts therein, from the Pledged Revenues amounts which, together with the funds on deposit therein, will be sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds on such Payment Date. The moneys in the Bond Fund shall be used solely to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds as and when the same shall mature or become due. The City, in its discretion, may use moneys in the Bond Fund to purchase or redeem bonds coming due on the next principal payment date, provided such purchase or redemption does not adversely affect the City's ability to pay the principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest coming due on such principal payment date of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds not so purchased or redeemed. On each Payment Date for the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, the City shall transfer from the applicable accounts in the Bond Fund to the Paying Agent an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds then due and payable and the Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to apply such funds to said payments. C. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, the deposits to the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds Bond Fund from Limited Ad Valorem Taxes shall be made on a parity basis with deposits to other bond funds created by the City to pay other Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds issued under and secured by the Bond Resolution. D. All funds or other property which at any time may be owned or held in the possession of or deposited with the City or an Authorized Depository designated by the City for application in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Bond Resolution shall be held in trust and applied only in accordance with the provisions of the Bond Resolution and shall not be subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of the City other than the holders of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds. E. Moneys held for the credit of the Bond Fund may be invested by the City in Authorized Investments. Such investments or reinvestments shall mature or become available not later than the respective dates, as estimated by the City, that the moneys held for the credit of the Bond Fund will be needed to pay principal, premium if any, or interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds when due. F. The moneys required to be accounted for in the Bond Fund, including the accounts therein, and the moneys required to be accounted for in the Series 2024A Construction Account, the Series 2024B Construction Account and the Cost of Issuance Account, may be deposited in a single bank account, and funds allocated to the various funds and accounts established herein may be invested in a common investment pool, provided that adequate accounting records are maintained to reflect and control the restricted allocation of the moneys on deposit therein and such investments for the various purposes of such funds and accounts as provided herein. The designation and establishment of the various funds and accounts in and by the Bond Resolution shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent, self -balancing funds as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of certain revenues for certain purposes and to establish priorities for application of such revenues as herein provided. All funds on deposit held in the Bond Fund, and the accounts therein, and in the Series 2024A Construction Account, the Series 2024B Construction Account and the Costs of Issuance Account under the provisions of the Bond Resolution shall be held in trust and applies only in accordance with the provisions of the Bond Resolution. Section 11. Additional Bonds. The City agrees not to issue any additional Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds approved under the Bond Resolution, full faith and credit general obligation bonds, or other voter approved debt payable from the Debt Millage, unless the Chief Financial Officer certifies that based on the City's then current assessed valuation, taxes generated by applying the millage rate of 0.5935 mills will equal or exceed 1.0x coverage of principal of and interest on: (i) the outstanding Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds, (ii) outstanding full faith and credit general obligation bonds, (iii) outstanding other voter approved bonds payable from the Debt Millage, and (iv) any additional Miami Forever Limited Ad Valorem Tax Bonds or full faith and credit general obligation bonds, or other voter approved debt payable from the Debt Millage, proposed to be issued. Section 12. Additional Terms, Redemption and Form of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds. A. Interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be paid by check or draft drawn upon the Paying Agent and mailed to the registered owners of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds at the addresses as they appear on the registration books maintained by the Bond Registrar at the close of business on the 15th day (whether or not a business day) of the month next preceding the interest payment date (the "Record Date"), irrespective of any transfer or exchange of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such interest payment date, unless the City shall be in default in payment of interest due on such interest payment date; provided, however, that (i) if ownership of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds is maintained in a book -entry only system by a securities depository, such payment may be made by automatic electronic funds transfer (wire) to such securities depository or its nominee or (ii) if such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds are not maintained in a book -entry only system by a securities depository, upon written request of the holder of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, such payments may be made by wire transfer to the bank and bank account specified in writing by such holder on or prior to the Record Date (such bank being a bank within the continental United States), if such holder has advanced to the Paying Agent the amount necessary to pay the cost of such wire transfer or authorized the Paying Agent to deduct the cost of such wire transfer from the payment due such holder. The Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be issued initially in a book -entry only system maintained by Depository Trust Company as authorized pursuant to Section 27 of this Supplemental Resolution. In the event of any default in the payment of interest, such defaulted interest shall be payable to the persons in whose names such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest as established by notice deposited in the U.S. mails, postage prepaid, by the Paying Agent to the registered owners of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds not less than fifteen (15) preceding such special record date. Such notice shall be mailed to the persons in whose names the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds are registered at the close of business on the fifth day (whether or not a business day) preceding the date of mailing. B. The Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be executed in the name of the City by the City Manager and the seal of the City shall be imprinted, reproduced or lithographed on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds and attested to by the City Clerk. In addition, the City Attorney or any Assistant City Attorney shall sign the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, showing approval as to the form and correctness thereof and the City's Director of Risk Management shall sign the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds showing approval as to the City's insurance requirement. The signatures of the City Manager, the City Clerk, the City Attorney and the City's Director of Risk Management on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds may be by facsimile. If any officer whose signature appears on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds ceases to hold office before the delivery of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, his or her signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes. In addition, any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond may bear the signature of, or may be signed by, such persons as at the actual time of execution of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be the proper officers to sign such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond although at the date of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond or the date of delivery thereof such persons may not have been such officers. C. Only such of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds as shall have manually endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form required by hereof, duly manually executed by the Bond Registrar, shall be entitled to any right or benefit under the Bond Resolution. No Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Bond Registrar, and such certificate of the Bond Registrar upon any such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Supplemental Resolution. The Bond Registrar's certificate of authentication on any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be deemed to have been duly executed if signed by an authorized officer of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds that may be issued hereunder at any one time. The foregoing notwithstanding, if at any time, the City serves as the Bond Registrar under the Bond Resolution, the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be authenticated by the manual signature of the Finance Director, and the registered owner of any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of the Bond Resolution. D. Any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond may be transferred upon the registration books maintained by the Bond Registrar upon delivery thereof to the designated office of the Bond Registrar accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form and with guaranty of signature satisfactory to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the Bondholder or its attorney -in -fact or legal representative, containing written instructions as to the details of the transfer of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond, along with the social security number or federal employer identification number of such transferee. In all cases of a transfer of a Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond, the Bond Registrar shall at the earliest practical time in accordance with the terms hereof enter the transfer of ownership in the registration books and shall deliver in the name of the new transferee or transferees a new fully registered Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond or Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds of the same Series, maturity and of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount and payable from the same source of funds. Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds may be exchanged at the office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, of other authorized denominations of the same Series and maturity. The City and the Bond Registrar may charge the Bondholder for the registration of every transfer or exchange of a Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond an amount sufficient to reimburse them for any tax, fee or any other governmental charge required (other than by the City) to be paid with respect to the registration of such transfer or exchange, and may require that such amounts be paid before any such new Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be delivered. The City, the Bond Registrar, and the Paying Agent may deem and treat the registered owner of any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond as the absolute owner of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal thereof, and redemption premium, if any, thereon. The Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds may be exchanged at the office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or other authorized denomination of the same Series and maturity. E. If any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond is mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, the City or its agent may, in its discretion (i) deliver a duplicate replacement Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond, or (ii) pay a Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond that has matured or is about to mature. A mutilated Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be surrendered to and canceled by the Bond Registrar. The Bondholder must furnish the City and the Bond Registrar proof of ownership of any destroyed, stolen or lost Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond; post satisfactory indemnity; comply with any reasonable conditions the City and the Bond Registrar may prescribe; and pay the City's and the Bond Registrar's reasonable expenses. Any such duplicate Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall constitute an original contractual obligation on the part of the City whether or not the destroyed, stolen or lost Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on, and source of payment of and security for payment from, the funds pledged to the payment of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond so mutilated, destroyed, or stolen or lost. F. The Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to their maturity at such times and in such manner as set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement; provided, however that redemption premium, if any, for an optional redemption of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall not exceed two percent (2%) of the aggregate principal amount of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds called for redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by deposit in the U.S. mail of a copy of a redemption notice, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) days before the redemption date to all registered owners of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as they appear on the registration books to be maintained in accordance with the provisions hereof. Failure to mail any such notice to a registered owner of a Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for redemption of any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond or portion thereof with respect to which no failure or defect occurred. In the event of an optional partial redemption of a maturity of Term Bonds, the City shall be permitted to designate the amount or amounts of such optional partial redemption to be credited to the related Amortization Installment or Amortization Installments. Such notice shall set forth the date fixed for redemption, the rate of interest borne by each Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond being redeemed, the name and address of the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, the redemption price to be paid and, if less than all of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds then outstanding shall be called for redemption, the distinctive Series, numbers and letters, including CUSIP numbers, if any, of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds to be redeemed and, in the case of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption which relates to such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall also state that on or after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond, a new Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond or Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds of the same Series in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond will be issued. In the case of an optional redemption, any notice of redemption may state that (1) it is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to effect the redemption, with the Bond Registrar, Paying Agent or an Authorized Depository acting as escrow agent no later than the redemption date or (2) the City retains the right to rescind such notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date (in either case, a "Conditional Redemption"), and such notice and optional redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded as described in this subsection. Any such notice of Conditional Redemption shall be captioned "Conditional Notice of Redemption." Any Conditional Redemption may be rescinded at any time prior to the redemption date if the Finance Director delivers a written direction to the Bond Registrar directing the Bond Registrar to rescind the redemption notice. The Bond Registrar shall give prompt notice of such rescission to the affected Bondholders. Any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds subject to Conditional Redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain Outstanding, and neither the rescission nor the failure by the City to make such funds available shall constitute an event of default under this Supplemental Resolution. The Bond Registrar shall give immediate notice to the securities information repositories and the affected Bondholders that the redemption did not occur and that the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds called for redemption and not so paid remain Outstanding. Any notice mailed as provided in this section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the owner of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond receives such notice. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond after the mailing of a notice of redemption nor during the period of fifteen (15) days next preceding mailing of a notice of redemption. G. Notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions provided in above, the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds so called for redemption shall; provided that such redemption was not canceled as provided above, on the redemption date designated in such notice, become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for redemption for such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds on such date. On the date so designated for redemption, moneys for payment of the redemption price being held in separate accounts by the Paying Agent or other Authorized Depository in trust for the registered owners of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, all as provided in this Supplemental Resolution, interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds and portions of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Bond Resolution and shall be deemed paid hereunder and thereunder, and the registered owners of such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall have no right in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof and, to the extent provided in the next subsection, to receive Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds for any unredeemed portions of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds. H. In case part but not all of an outstanding fully registered Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond shall be selected for redemption, the registered owners thereof shall present and surrender such Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond to the Paying Agent for payment of the principal amount thereof so called for redemption, and the City shall execute and deliver to or upon the order of such registered owner, without charge therefor, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds so surrendered, a Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond or Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds of the same Series fully registered as to principal and interest. I. Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds or portions of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds that have been duly called for redemption under the provisions hereof, or as to which irrevocable instructions to call for redemption have been given by the City, and with respect to which amounts (including Government Obligations) sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest to the date fixed for redemption shall be delivered to and held in separate trust accounts by an escrow agent, any Authorized Depository or the Paying Agent (other than the City) in trust for the registered owners thereof, as provided in this Supplemental Resolution, shall not be deemed to be Outstanding under the provisions of the Bond Resolution and shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under the Bond Resolution, except to receive the payment of the redemption price on or after the designated date of redemption from moneys deposited with or held by the escrow agent, Authorized Depository or Paying Agent (other than the City), as the case may be, for such redemption of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds and, to the extent provided in the preceding subsection, to receive Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds of the same Series for any unredeemed portion of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds. J. If the date for payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or, if the Paying Agent is then an entity other than the City, a day on which banking institutions in the city where the corporate trust office of the Paying Agent is located are authorized by law or executive order to close, then the date for such payment shall be the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or a day on which such banking institutions are authorized to close, and payment on such day shall have the same force and effect as if made on the nominal date of payment. Section 13. Application of Series 2024 Infrastructure Bond Proceeds. The proceeds, including accrued interest and premium, if any, received from the sale of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds shall be applied by the City, simultaneously with delivery of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, as follows: A. Accrued interest, if any, shall be deposited in the Series 2024A Principal and Interest Account or the Series 2024B Principal and Interest Account, as applicable, and the Paying Agent shall apply such moneys to pay interest on the Series 2024A Infrastructure Bonds and the Series 2024B Infrastructure Bonds, as the case may be, as the same becomes due. B.

Any balance remaining after payment or provision for payment of such expenses has been made shall be transferred, at the option of the City, to either the Series 2024A Construction Account or the Series 2024B Construction Account, as applicable, for the payment of costs of the respective Infrastructure Projects, or to the Paying Agent for deposit in the Series 2024A Principal and Interest Account and the Series 2024A Bond Amortization Account, if any, and used solely to pay principal of, Amortization Installments (with respect to Term Bonds), and interest on the Series 2024A Infrastructure Bonds, or to the Series 2024B Principal and Interest Account and the Series 2024B Bond Amortization Account, if any, and used solely to pay principal of, Amortization Installments (with respect to Term Bonds), and interest on the Series 2024B Infrastructure Bonds, as applicable.

Award and Sale of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds. A. In accordance with Section 218.385(1), Florida Statutes, as amended, the City hereby finds, determines and declares, that a negotiated sale of the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds is in the best interest of the City because (i) it is necessary to be able to sell the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds when market conditions are most favorable in order to attain the most favorable interest rates on the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, and (ii) the vagaries of the current and near future municipal bond market demand that the Underwriters have the maximum time and flexibility to price and market the Series 2024 Infrastructure Bonds, in order to obtain the most favorable interest rates available.
