Statutes, the City hereby finds, determines and declares, based upon the advice of its Financial
Advisor for the Notes, that a negotiated sale of the Notes is in the best interests of the City for the
following reasons:

planning, and it is not practical for the City, the Financial Advisor, and the Bank
to engage in such planning within the time constraints and uncertainties
inherent within a competitive bidding process;
(ii) The Pledge Funds consist of multiple revenue sources which require extensive
planning and explanation to the market; and
(iii) The vagaries of the current and near future municipal bond market demand that
the City have the maximum time and flexibility to price and market the related
bonds for the Port Tunnel, in order to obtain the most favorable interest rates
available; and

officer whose signature appears on the Notes ceases to hold office before the delivery of the Notes,
his signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes. In addition, any Notes may
bear the signature of, or may be signed by, such persons as at the actual time of execution of such
Notes shall be the proper officers to sign such Notes, although at the date of such Notes or the date
of delivery thereof such persons may not have been such officers. Any Notes delivered shall be
authenticated by the manual signature of the Finance Director, and the registered owner of any Notes
so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Resolution.

File Number: 10-01450 Enactment Number: R-10-0565

duplicate Note 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 Note so

Section 9. Provisions for Redemption. The Notes may be made subject to redemption prior
to their maturity in whole or in part as set forth in the Loan Agreement. 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)
calendar days before the redemption date to all registered owners of the Notes or portions of the
Notes 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
Note, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for redemption of any
Notes or portion thereof with respect to which no failure or defect occurred.
Section 10. Form of Notes. The Notes shall be in substantially the form attached as
Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement, with only such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
necessary and desirable and permitted by this Resolution or by any subsequent ordinance or
resolution adopted prior to the issuance thereof.
Section 11. Covenants of the City. 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, budget and appropriate sufficient Non -Ad Valorem Revenues to make payments of such
Payments as they become due.
Such covenant and agreement on the part of the City to budget and appropriate such
amounts of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue
until such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all
such required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding
the foregoing covenant 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 the Bank a prior claim on the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues
as opposed to claims of general creditors of the City. Such covenant to 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
bonds and other debt instruments). 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 the Payments, 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
appropriate and budget, 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 Tunnel Project serves essential public

purposes.
Section 12. Tax Covenants. No use will be made of the proceeds of the Notes which, if such
use were reasonably expected on the date of issuance of the Notes, would cause the same to be
"arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). The City at all times while the Notes and the interest thereon are outstanding will comply
with the requirements of the Code, including any amendments thereto and any valid and applicable
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder necessary to maintain the exclusion of the interest on
the Notes from federal gross income including the creation of any rebate funds or other funds and/or
accounts required in that regard.
Section 13. Security; Notes Not General Indebtedness. The Notes shall not be deemed
to constitute general obligations or a pledge of the faith and credit of the City, the OMNI CRA, the
State or any political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional, legislative or charter
provision or limitation, but shall be payable solely from and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of
the Pledged Funds, in the manner and to the extent herein provided. No holder of Notes shall ever
have the right, directly or indirectly, to require or compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power
of the City, the OMNI CRA, the State or any other political subdivision of the State or taxation in any
form on any real or personal property to pay the Notes or the interest thereon, nor shall any holder of
Notes be entitled to payment of such principal of and interest from any other funds of the City or of
the Omni CRA other than the proceeds of the Pledged Funds, all in the manner and to the extent
herein provided. The Notes and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien upon
any real or personal property of the City or of the OMNI CRA, but shall constitute a lien only on the
proceeds of the Pledged Funds, all in the manner and to the extent provided herein.
Until payment has been provided as herein permitted, the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Notes shall be secured forthwith equally and ratably by a prior lien on the proceeds
derived from the Pledged Funds, and the City does hereby irrevocably pledge, and shall cause the
OMNI CRA to irrevocably pledge the same to payment of the principal thereof and interest thereon
when due.

forth herein and in the Loan Agreement, receive the purchase price therefor and apply the proceeds
thereof to pay FDOT for the City's and the Omni CRA's obligation for the Port Tunnel under the
Global Agreement, as herein provided, without further authority from this body. The City Manager
and the City Clerk are authorized to make any and all changes on the form of the Note which shall be
necessary to conform the same to the commitment of the Purchaser. Execution of the Note by the
Mayor, the City Manager, the City Clerk, and the City Attorney shall be conclusive evidence of their
approval of the form of the Note(s).

be further amended and supplemented as necessary in order to accomplish the validation and
issuance of the bonds or as necessary in connection with the purposes for which the Notes

provision of law or contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohibited, or against
public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements or
provisions shall be null and void and shall be deemed severed from the remaining covenants,
agreements or provisions of this Resolution or of the Notes issued hereunder.
