the Agency may be authorized to draw upon a previously executed credit or liquidity facility
between the Agency and one or more banks or other financial or lending institutions permitting
the Agency to borrow interest and principal for payment upon a particular Series of Bonds to
which such Credit Facility shall pertain. The particular form or forms of such optional and
mandatory tender provisions, the period or periods for payment of principal and interest after
delivery of notice, the appointment of the agent for the Agency, the terms and provisions of the
remarketing agreement, and the terms and provisions of the credit or liquidity facility shall be as
designated by or pursuant to a Supplemental Resolution of the Agency pertaining to each

be deemed a redemption of such Bonds and will not be deemed to extinguish or discharge the
indebtedness evidenced by such Bonds. Any Bonds purchased by or on behalf of the Agency
pursuant to an optional or mandatory tender shall be purchased with the intent that the
indebtedness evidenced by such Bonds shall not be extinguished or discharged, and such
Bonds shall remain Outstanding hereunder unless and until such Bonds are delivered to the
trustee, tender agent or paying agent therefore for cancellation; provided, however, prior to the
purchase of any Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds (unless such Bonds are Tax Credit Bonds)
by the Agency, there shall be obtained a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel.

facsimile, but one such Authorized Officer shall sign his manual signature on the Bonds unless
the Agency appoints an authenticating agent, Registrar, transfer agent or trustee who shall be
authorized and directed to cause one of its duly authorized officers to manually execute the
Bonds. If any Authorized Officer whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to hold office
after such execution, but before the delivery of the Bonds, his signature shall nevertheless be
valid and sufficient for all purposes. In addition, any Bond may bear the signature of, or may be
signed by, such persons as at the actual time of execution of such Bond shall be the proper
officers to sign such Bond although at the date of such Bond or the date of delivery thereof such
persons may not have been such officers.
Section 504 Bonds Mutilated; Destroyed; Stolen or Lost. In case any Bond shall
become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Agency may, in its discretion, issue and
deliver, and the Registrar shall authenticate, a new Bond of like tenor as the Bond so mutilated,
destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond upon surrender
and cancellation of such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed,
stolen or lost, and upon the Holder furnishing the Agency and the Registrar proof of his
ownership thereof and satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable
regulations and conditions as the Agency or the Registrar may prescribe and paying such
expenses as the Agency and the Registrar may incur. All Bonds so surrendered or otherwise
substituted shall be cancelled by the Registrar. If any of the Bonds shall have matured or be
about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the Agency may pay the same or cause
the Bond to be paid, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bonds be lost, stolen or
destroyed, without surrender thereof.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall constitute
original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the Agency whether or not the lost,
stolen or destroyed Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bond shall be
entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on the Pledged Revenues to the
same extent as all other Bonds issued hereunder.

redemption prior to their maturity at the option of the Agency at such times and in such manner

Supplemental Resolution with respect to a Series of Bonds, notice of redemption shall be given
by the deposit in the U.S. mails of a copy of said redemption notice, postage prepaid, at least
thirty and not more than sixty days before the redemption date (or such other method or time
period established with respect to a Series of Bonds by or pursuant to the Supplemental
Resolution authorizing the issuance thereof) to all Registered Owners of the Bonds or portions
of Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as they appear on the registration books to be
maintained in accordance with provisions hereof. Failure to mail any such notice to a
Registered Owner of a Bond, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the
proceedings for redemption of any Bond or portion thereof with respect to which no failure or
defect occurred.
Unless otherwise provided by or pursuant to Supplemental Resolution with
respect to a Series of Bonds, each notice shall set forth the date fixed for redemption of the
Bond being redeemed, the redemption price to be paid, the date of such notice, the original

by each Bond being redeemed, any conditions to such redemption or the reservation of the

the distinctive numbers and letters, including CUSIP Numbers, if any, of such Bonds to be
redeemed and, in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed. If any Bond is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of
redemption which relates to such Bond shall also state that on or after the redemption date,
upon surrender of such Bond, new Bond or Bonds in a principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of such Bond will be issued.
Any notice mailed as provided in this section shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given, whether or not the owner of such Bond receives such notice.

of Bonds, in addition to the mailing of the notice described above, each notice of redemption
shall be sent to the Electronic Municipal Market Access System operated by the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board or such other similar system hereafter established for similar
disclosure purposes; provided however, that failure of such notice or failure to comply with the
terms of this paragraph shall not in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption
if notice thereof is given as prescribed above in this Section 5.05.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof, notice of optional
redemption pursuant to this Section 5.05 may be conditioned upon the occurrence or non-
occurrence of such event or events as shall be specified in such notice of optional redemption
and may also be subject to rescission by the Agency if expressly set forth in such notice.

cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Resolution, and the Registered
Owners of such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall have no right in respect thereof except to
receive payment of the redemption price thereof and, to the extent provided in Section 5.07 of

SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF BONDS;
SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF AGENCY
Section 601 Bonds Not to be Indebtedness of the Agency. The Bonds shall not be or
constitute general or moral obligations or indebtedness or a pledge of the faith and credit of the
Agency, the City, the County, the State or any other political subdivision thereof within the
meaning of any constitutional, legislative or charter provision or limitation, but shall be limited
City of Miami Page 27 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
obligations of the Agency, payable solely from and secured by a lien upon and a pledge of the
Pledged Revenues, in the manner and to the extent herein provided. No Bondholder shall ever
have the right directly or indirectly, to compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the
City, the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof or taxation in any form on any real
or personal property to pay such Bonds or the interest or premium, if any, thereon or for the
payment of any other amounts provided herein. The Agency has no taxing power. The Bonds
and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien upon any other funds or
property of the Agency, and no Bondholder shall be entitled to payment of such principal,
interest and premium, if any, from any other funds of the Agency other than the Pledged
Revenues, in the manner and to the extent herein provided.
Section 602 Pledge of Revenues. The payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds shall be secured forthwith equally and ratably by an irrevocable lien
on the Pledged Revenues, all in the manner and to the extent provided herein, and, as provided

of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, the funding and maintaining of
the reserves therefore as required herein and for aâ–ºI other payments as provided herein. The
pledge and lien on Pledged Revenues securing the Bonds shall be prior and superior to all other
liens or encumbrances on the Pledged Revenues; provided, however, that the pledge of and
lien on the Pledged Tax Increment Revenues shall be on a parity with the pledge thereof and
lien thereon securing the Grant Agreement Obligation and any Parity Obligations issued or
incurred as provided in Section 10.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, nothing
herein provided shall be deemed to grant or create a lien on any subaccount in the Construction
Fund or Reserve Account created with respect to a particular Series of Bonds in favor of the
owners of Bonds of any other Series. Each subaccount in the Construction Fund shall secure
only the Series of Bonds with respect to which such subaccount was created. Each subaccount
in the Reserve Account shall secure only the Series of Bonds expressly designated to be
secured thereby. In addition, nothing herein shall be deemed to grant or create a lien on any
funds in the Rebate Account, including investment earnings thereon.
ARTICLE VII
REDEVELOPMENT TRUST FUND; ALLOCATION OF PLEDGED
TAX INCREMENT REVENUES; CREATION OF FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS, DISPOSITION OF
REVENUES
Section 701 Redevelopment Trust Fund. The Redevelopment Trust Fund has been
created and established as described herein and the funds to be allocated and deposited into
the SEOPW CRA Revenue Bond Trust Fund Account therein, as created pursuant to Section
7.04 below, have been appropriated to the Agency to finance community redevelopment
projects within the Redevelopment Area pursuant to the Redevelopment Plan.
The lien securing the Bonds, the Grant Agreement Obligation and Parity
Obligations created pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof upon the revenues described in this Section
7.01 shall not attach until such revenues shall have been deposited in the SEOPW CRA
Revenue Bond Trust Fund Account. The holders of Bonds, Parity Obligations and Subordinated
Indebtedness shall have no right to require the imposition of any tax or the establishment of any
rate of taxation in order to obtain the amounts necessary to pay and retire such Bonds, Parity
Obligations and Subordinated Indebtedness.
Section 702 Creation of Funds and Accounts. There are hereby created and
established the "SEOPW CRA Revenue Bond Trust Fund Account," the "Construction Fund,"
City of Miami Page 28 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
the "Tax Increment Revenue Bond Fund" and the following accounts therein to be known as:
the "Debt Service Account," the "Reserve Account" and the "Rebate Account." Within the
Reserve Account there is created the "Composite Reserve Subaccount." There may be created
and established in the Reserve Account separate subaccounts with respect to and securing one
or more separate Series of Bonds.
Moneys in the Tax Increment Revenue Bond Fund, other than the Rebate
Account, until applied in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be subject to a lien and
charge in favor of the Holders of the Bonds and for the further security of such Holders;
provided that moneys in the separate subaccounts in the Reserve Account shall secure only the
Bonds of the Series designated to be secured thereby and amounts in the applicable
subaccounts in the Construction Fund to be applied as provided in Section 7.03 herein.
The Agency may at any time and from time to time deposit moneys from any one
or more of the funds and accounts established hereby with an Authorized Depository. Any such
Authorized Depository shall perform at the direction of the Agency the duties of the Agency in
depositing, transferring and disbursing moneys to and from each of such funds and accounts as
herein set forth, and all records of such Authorized Depository in performing such duties shall
be open at all reasonable times to inspection by the Agency and its agents and employees.
Section 703 Construction Fund. The Agency shall establish a separate account in the
Construction Fund for each Project or Projects to be financed by separate Series of Bonds and
each such account shall be designated in a manner to identify it with such Series of Bonds. The
Agency shall deposit into each such account such amounts as may be directed from time to
time by Supplemental Resolution. Moneys in the Construction Fund and the accounts therein
shall be kept separate and apart from all other accounts and subaccounts of the Agency, and
funds on deposit therein shall be withdrawn, used and applied by the Agency solely for the
payment of the Cost of the Projects. Capitalized interest, if any, deposited in a subaccount in
the Construction Fund shall be transferred, to the extent necessary, to the Debt Service Account
to pay interest on the applicable Series of Bonds. Funds on deposit in the Construction Fund
shall be withdrawn, used and applied by the Agency solely for the payment of the costs of such
Project or Projects and purposes incidental thereto; provided, however, that moneys in any
account in the Construction Fund may be removed and deposited as necessary into a related
account or applied to pay Costs of a different Project, provided that with respect to Bonds that
are not Taxable Bonds (unless such Bonds are Tax Credit Bonds), the agency shall first receive
a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel.
Moneys in each account in the Construction Fund, until applied in payment of
any item of the Cost of the applicable Project in the manner hereinafter provided, shall be held
in trust by the Agency (or an Authorized Depository) and shall be subject to a lien and charge in
favor of the Holders of the Bonds for the applicable Series for which it was established and for
the further security of such Holders.
Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 7.03, to the extent that
other moneys are not available therefore, amounts in each account in the Construction Fund
shall be applied to the payment of principal and interest on the applicable Series of Bonds when
due.
The date of completion of a Project or Projects shall be determined by the
Executive Director who shall certify such fact in writing to the Board of the Agency. Promptly
after the date of the completion of a Project, and after paying or making provisions for the
City of Miami Page 29 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
payment of all unpaid items of the Cost of such Project, the Agency shall deposit in the following
order of priority any balance of moneys remaining in the applicable account in the Construction
Fund in (1) the Reserve Account or any subaccount therein securing such Series of Bonds, to
the extent of a deficiency therein, provided that with respect to Bonds that are not Taxable
Bonds (unless such Bonds are Tax Credit Bonds), the Agency shall first receive a Favorable
Opinion of Bond Counsel, (2) another account in the Construction Fund for which the Executive
Director has stated in writing that there are insufficient moneys present to pay the Cost of a
Project, provided that with respect to Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds (unless such Bonds are
Tax Credit Bonds), the Agency shall first receive a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel, and
(3) such other fund or account established hereunder or such other lawful purpose as shall be
determined by the Governing Body, provided that, with respect to Bonds that are not Taxable
Bonds (unless such Bonds are Tax Credit Bonds), the Agency shall first receive a Favorable
Opinion of Bond Counsel.
Section 704 Disposition of Pledged Tax Increment Revenues. The Pledged Tax
Increment Revenues shall be deposited immediately upon receipt into the Redevelopment Trust
Fund and then shall, upon receipt, immediately be deposited in the SEOPW CRA Revenue
Bond Trust Fund Account and upon such deposit shall be subject to the pledge and lien of this
Resolution pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof. The Bonds, the Grant Agreement Obligation and
other Parity Obligations issued in accordance with the terms hereof shall be secured by a parity
and equal lien on the Pledged Tax Increment Revenues on deposit in the SEOPW CRA
Revenue Bond Trust Fund Account. As between the Bonds and Parity Obligations, available
Pledged Tax Increment Revenues shall be allocated pro rata based upon the relative amounts
required to be deposited in such Fiscal Year hereunder for the payment of debt service on the
Bonds, funding of the Reserve Account and Rebate Account and other amounts payable with
respect thereto and amounts required to be deposited in such Fiscal Year under the instruments
providing for such Parity Obligations for the payment of corresponding amounts. Subsidy Bond
Payments, pledged to a Series of Bonds pursuant to a Supplemental Resolution, shall be
deposited upon receipt into the Tax Increment Revenue Bond Fund and applied in the same
manner as provided in this Section 7.04 with respect to Pledged Tax Increment Revenues or as
otherwise provided by such Supplemental Resolution. Subject to the foregoing, in each Fiscal
Year, Pledged Tax Increment Revenues shall be transferred from the SEOPW CRA Revenue
Bond Trust Fund Account and deposited to the credit of the Tax Increment Revenue Bond Fund
upon receipt in an amount sufficient to make the deposits required by subsection (1) below.
(a) DISPOSITION OF FUNDS IN THE TAX INCREMENT REVENUE BOND FUND.
Funds in the Tax Increment Revenue Bond Fund shall be applied in each Bond Year only in the
following order and priority:
(i) First, by deposit into the Debt Service Account an amount which, together
with other amounts deposited therein will be equal to the Debt Service Requirement
coming due during the then -current Bond Year with respect to Bonds and Parity
Obligations, until there are sufficient funds then on deposit equal to the sum of the
interest, principal and redemption payments due, respectively, on the Bonds and Parity
Obligations, on the interest and principal payment dates and redemption dates in such
Bond Year.
Deposits shall be increased or decreased to the extent required to pay
principal, interest and redemption premiums next becoming due, after making
allowance for any accrued and capitalized interest, and to make up any
deficiency or Toss that may otherwise arise in such fund or accounts.
City of Miami Page 30 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
Notwithstanding anything in this subsection (a) to the contrary, if principal,
interest or premium payments have been made on behalf of the Agency by a
Bond Insurer or Credit Facility Provider or other entity insuring, guarantying or
providing for the payment of Bonds or any Series thereof, moneys on deposit in
the Debt Service Account and allocable to such Bonds shall be paid to such
Bond Insurer or Credit Facility Provider or other entity insuring, guarantying or
providing for the payment of Bonds or any Series thereof having theretofore
made a corresponding payment on the Bonds.
(ii) There shall next be deposited to each subaccount of the Reserve
Account, amounts, including amounts necessary to reimburse the issuer of a Reserve
Product for draws there under in order to reinstate such Reserve Product, which, after
taking into account other funds then on deposit therein (including amounts available
under any Reserve Product), will be sufficient to make the funds (or amounts of Reserve
Product) on deposit therein equal to the Reserve Requirement for each such
subaccount; provided, however, that if the funds on deposit in a subaccount or
subaccounts in the Reserve Account are less than the applicable Reserve Requirement
as a result of a withdrawal there from for the payment of debt service on the Bonds due
to a deficiency in the amounts available in the Debt Service Account, as provided below,
the amount of such deficiency is to be repaid no later than sixty (60) months from the
date of such draw (assuming equal monthly payments into the Reserve Account of such
sixty (60) month period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a deficiency occurs in the
Reserve Account due to the valuation of investments held therein as a result of the
valuation required by Section 8.02 hereof, the Agency shall cure such deficiency by no
later than sixty (60) months from the date of the valuation resulting in such deficiency
(assuming equal monthly payments into the Reserve Account of such sixty (60) month
period). To the extent there are insufficient moneys in the Tax Increment Revenue Bond
Fund to make the required deposit into each subaccount of the Reserve Account, such
deposits shall be made to each subaccount on a pro rata basis in relation to the amount
of the deficiency existing in each subaccount. On or prior to each principal and interest
payment date for the Bonds, moneys in each subaccount of the Reserve Account shall
be applied by the Agency to the payment of the principal of, or redemption price, if
applicable, and interest on related Series of Bonds to the extent moneys in the Debt
Service Account are insufficient therefore.
The moneys on deposit in each subaccount in the Reserve Account shall be
applied in the manner provided herein solely for the payment of maturing principal of,
redemption price, if applicable, or interest or Amortization Installments on the Series of
Bonds secured by such subaccount and shall not be available to pay debt service on
any other Series. Moneys on deposit in the Composite Reserve Subaccount shall be
applied on a pro rata basis to pay the maturing principal of, redemption price, if
applicable, or interest or Amortization Installments on the Series of Bonds, if more than
one Series, secured thereby, but shall not be available with respect to any Series of
Bonds not secured by the Composite Reserve Subaccount.
The Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of a Series of Bonds
hereunder shall designate whether such Series of Bonds is to be secured by the
Composite Reserve Subaccount or a separate subaccount in the Reserve Account and,
if such Series is to be secured by a separate subaccount, the Reserve Requirement with
respect thereto. Upon the issuance of any Series of Bonds under the terms, limitations
and conditions as herein provided, the Agency shall, on the date of delivery of such
City of Miami Page 31 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
Series of Bonds, (a) if such Series is secured by the Composite Reserve Subaccount,
deposit into the Composite Reserve Subaccount an amount equal to the Composite
Reserve Requirement or the increase in the Composite Reserve Requirement
attributable to the issuance of such Series of Bonds, or (b) if such Series is secured by a
separate subaccount in the Reserve Account, deposit into such subaccount an amount
at least equal to the Reserve Requirement applicable to such Series of Bonds at the
time and in the manner required by the terms hereof or of the Supplemental Resolution
creating such separate subaccount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of the required deposits into a
subaccount of the Reserve Account, the Agency may cause to be deposited into such
subaccount a Reserve Product for the benefit of the Bondholders in an amount equal to
the difference between the Reserve Requirement applicable thereto and the sums then
on deposit in such subaccount, if any. Such Reserve Product shall be payable to the
Paying Agent for such Series (upon the giving of notice as required there under) on any
interest payment or redemption date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured
by funds in any other fund or account held pursuant to this Resolution and available for
such purpose; but in all events any cash or investments in a subaccount in the Reserve
Account shall be applied before moneys derived from a Reserve Product in such
subaccount and if more than one Reserve Product secures such subaccount, such
instruments shall be drawn upon on a pro rata basis (in the proportion of the maximum
amount available to be drawn under each instrument). The issuer providing such
Reserve Product shall at the time of delivery, either be (a) an insurer whose municipal
bond insurance policies insuring the payment, when due, of the principal of and interest
on municipal bond issues results in such issues being rated in one of the two highest
rating categories (without regard to gradations, such as "plus" or "minus" of such
categories) by any two of S&P, and Moody's or Fitch or (b) a commercial bank,
insurance company or other financial institution the bonds payable or guaranteed by
which have been assigned a rating by one of the two highest rating categories (without
regard to gradations, such as "plus" or "minus" of such categories) by any two of S&P,
Moody's or Fitch. In addition, such Reserve Product shall be for a term of not less than
twelve (12) months and any reimbursement agreement related thereto shall provide that
the Agency's reimbursement obligation there under shall be subordinate to the payment
of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more subaccounts in the Reserve
Account have been funded with cash or Investment Obligations and no event of default
shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, the Agency may, at any time in its
discretion, substitute a Reserve Product meeting the requirements of this Resolution for
the cash and Investment Obligations in any such subaccount, and the Agency may then
withdraw such cash and Investment Obligations from such subaccount and apply them
to any lawful purpose, so long as (i) the same does not adversely affect any rating by a
rating agency then in effect for the applicable Series of Outstanding Bonds and (ii) with
respect to Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds (unless such Bonds are Tax Credit Bonds),
the Agency obtains a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel.
If a disbursement is made from a Reserve Product provided pursuant to this
Section 7.04(1)(b), the Agency shall cause the maximum limits of such Reserve Product
to be reinstated following such disbursement from moneys available hereunder in
accordance with the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 7.04(1)(b), by
depositing funds in the amount of the disbursement made under such instrument, with
City of Miami Page 32 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
the issuer thereof, together with interest thereon to the date of reimbursement at the rate
set forth in such Reserve Product, but in no case greater than the maximum rate of
interest permitted by law.
To the extent the Agency causes to be deposited into a subaccount of the
Reserve Account, a Reserve Product for a term of years shorter than the life of the
Series of Bonds then so insured or secured or such Reserve Product is subject to
termination prior to the maturity of the Series of Bonds then so insured, then the Reserve
Product shall provide, among other things, that the issuer thereof shall provide the
Agency with notice as of each anniversary of the date of the issuance of the Reserve
Product of the intention of the issuer thereof to either (a) extend the term of the Reserve
Product beyond the expiration dates thereof, or (b) terminate the Reserve Product on the
initial expiration dates thereof or such other future date as the issuer thereof shall have
established. If the issuer of the Reserve Product notifies the issuer pursuant to clause
(b) of the immediately preceding sentence or if the Agency terminates the Reserve
Product or it otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms, then the Agency shall (a)
deposit into the applicable subaccount of the Reserve Account, on or prior to the
fifteenth day of the first full calendar month following the date on which such notice is
received by the Agency, such sums as shall be sufficient to pay an amount equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which is one (1) and the denominator of which is equal to the
number of months remaining in the term of the Reserve Product for such subaccount on
the date such notice was received (the maximum amount available, assuming full
reimbursement by the Agency, under the Reserve Product may be reduced annually by
an amount equal to the deposit to the applicable subaccount of the Reserve Account
during the previous twelve (12) month period) until amounts on deposit in such
subaccount of the Reserve Account, as a result of the aforementioned deposits, and no
later than upon the expiration of such Reserve Product, shall be equal to the Reserve
Requirement applicable thereto, and (b) on a parity basis, shall reimburse the provider of
the terminated Reserve Product all amounts due and owing under the terms and
conditions of the reimbursement agreement between the Agency and such provider.
(iii) Then, to the issuer of any Registrar, Paying Agent, remarketing agent or
similar agent with respect to any Bonds, or to any party providing services in connection
with Outstanding Bonds an amount equal to the fees and expenses of such persons
accruing in such Bond Year.
(iv) After the deposits required pursuant to subsections (a), (b) and (c) above,
remaining Pledged Tax Increment Revenues in the Redevelopment Trust Fund shall be
applied to make deposits to such other funds or accounts as shall be specified by the
instrument providing for the issuance of Subordinated Obligations of such amounts as
shall be necessary to pay debt service and other requirements with respect to
Subordinated Obligations, as provided in the instrument providing for the issuance of
such Subordinated Obligations.
(v) After making the deposits required pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (c)
and (d) above, amounts available in the SEOPW CRA Revenue Trust Fund Account
shall be redeposited into the Redevelopment Trust Fund and may be used and applied
by the Agency for any lawful purpose of the Agency in accordance with the
Redevelopment Act.
City of Miami Page 33 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
Deposits required pursuant to this Section shall be cumulative and the amount of
any deficiency in any Bond Year shall be added to the amount otherwise required to be
deposited in the Bond Years thereafter until such time as all such deficiencies have been cured.
(b) The Agency shall not be required to make any further payments into the Tax
Increment Revenue Bond Fund, including the accounts therein, but excluding the face amount
of any Reserve Product, when the aggregate amount of funds in the Debt Service Account and
Reserve Account, including the subaccounts therein, available for the payment thereof, is at
least equal to the aggregate principal amount of Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution and
then Outstanding, plus the amount of interest then due or thereafter to become due on said
Bonds then Outstanding, or if all Bonds then Outstanding have otherwise been defeased
pursuant to Section 13.01 below.
Section 705 Use of Moneys in the Debt Service Account.
(a) Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Account shall be used solely for the
payment of the interest on and the principal of and any redemption premiums required with
respect to the Bonds and for the other purposes provided by the terms of Section 7.04(1)(a)
hereof, including payment on Parity Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof.
(b) At the maturity date of each Bond and, at the due date of each Amortization
Installment and installment of interest on each Bond, the Agency shall transfer from the Debt
Service Account to the Paying Agents for such Bonds sufficient moneys to pay all principal of,
premiums, if any, and interest then due and payable with respect to each such Bond. Interest
accruing with respect to any fully -registered Bond (other than a Capital Appreciation Bond) shall
be paid by check or draft of the Paying Agent, or by such other means as provided with respect
to a Series of Bonds, to the registered owner thereof.
(c) Moneys deposited in the Debt Service Account representing Amortization
Installments shall be applied solely to purchase or redemption of Term Bonds subject to
redemption from such Amortization Installments in the following manner:
(i) The Agency may (but shall not be obligated to) purchase Term Bonds of
any one or more Series, to the extent moneys are available therefore, at the most
advantageous price obtainable, such price not to exceed the principal of such Bonds
plus accrued interest, or the Compounded Amount, as the case may be, but no such
purchase shall be made by the Agency within a period of thirty days next preceding any
interest payment date on which such Bonds are subject to call for redemption under the
provisions of this Resolution; and
(ii) The Agency shall use any remaining funds representing Amortization
Installments to call any remaining Term Bonds or Serial Bonds then subject to
redemption, in such order and by such selection method as the Agency, in its discretion,
may determine, on the next Bond principal payment date.
The Agency will apply funds deposited for the redemption of Bonds then subject
to redemption in the foregoing manner as will exhaust the money then held for the redemption
of such Bonds as nearly as may be possible.
If Term Bonds are purchased or redeemed pursuant to this section in excess of
the Amortization Installments for such Bond Year, such excess principal amount of such Term
City of Miami Page 34 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
Bonds so purchased or redeemed shall be credited against subsequent Amortization
Installments for Bonds in such Series in such Bond Year or Years as the Agency may determine
and as may be reflected in the Agency's permanent accounting records or in a certificate of the
Agency.
Section 706 Separate Accounts. The moneys required to be accounted for in each of
the foregoing funds, accounts and subaccounts established herein may be deposited in a single
bank account, and funds allocated to the various funds, accounts and subaccounts 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, accounts and
subaccounts as herein provided.
The designation and establishment of the various funds, accounts and
subaccounts in and by this 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 certain priorities for application of such revenues
as herein provided.
Section 707 Paying Agents. The Agency shall transfer, from the various funds and
accounts established in this Article VII, to one or more Paying Agents as shall be designated by
resolution from time to time adopted by the Agency, on or before each interest and principal
payment date and each redemption date, an amount sufficient to pay when due the principal of,
interest on and redemption premium, if any, with respect to the Bonds.
No resignation or removal of a Paying Agent appointed hereunder shall be
effective until such time as a successor has been appointed by the Agency and has accepted
the duties as Paying Agent hereunder.

hereunder that are not Taxable Bonds to be includable in gross income for federal income tax

the purpose thereof, and thereafter may be applied for any lawful purpose of the Agency
permitted under the Redevelopment Act. Investment income received from the investment of
funds on deposit in a subaccount in the Reserve Account, to the extent that amounts on deposit
therein exceed the Reserve Requirement, shall be transferred to the Debt Service Account.

its right to receive and dispose of the Pledged Revenues. The Agency shall not take any action

long as any Bonds are Outstanding, take all lawful action necessary or appropriate to continue
the Agency's right to receive the Pledged Tax Increment Revenues.
Section 906 Tax Covenants. It is the intention of the Agency and all parties under its
control that (i) the interest on each Series of Bonds issued hereunder that are not Taxable
Bonds be and remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) the
Agency preserve the tax credit to Holders of Tax Credit Bonds, and to this end, the Agency
hereby represents to and covenants with each of the Holders of the Bonds issued hereunder

income for federal income tax purposes and to preserve the tax credit to Holders of Tax Credit
Bonds. Specifically, without intending to limit in any way the generality of the foregoing, the
Agency covenants and agrees with respect to Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds:
(1) To the extent required by the Code, to make or cause to be made
all necessary determinations and calculations of the Rebate Amount and
required payments of the Rebate Amount;
City of Miami Page 37 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012

under the Code, to the United States of America from Pledged Revenues or from

with respect to each Series of Bonds issued hereunder and required payments of
the Rebate Amount with respect to each such Series of Bonds for at least six
years after the final maturity of each such Series of Bonds or such other period
as shall be necessary to comply with the Code;
(5) To refrain from taking any action that would cause the Bonds
issued hereunder to become arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code;
(6) to refrain from using proceeds of the Bonds issued hereunder in a
manner that would cause the Bonds or any of them to be classified as private
activity bonds under Section 141(a) of the Code; and
(7) To not use any Subsidy Bond Payments for payment of debt
service on any Bond other than Direct Subsidy Bonds to which such subsidy
applies.
The Agency understands that the foregoing covenants impose continuing
obligations of the Agency that will exist as long as the requirements of Section 103 and Part IV
of Subchapter B of Subpart A of Chapter 1 of the Code are applicable to any of the Bonds or
any Series of Bonds that are not Taxable Bonds.
Section 907 Rebate Account. The Agency covenants and agrees that it shall maintain

ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL BONDS AND PARITY OBLIGATIONS
Section 1001 Subordinated Indebtedness. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article X the Agency will not issue any other obligations, payable from the Pledged Revenues or
voluntarily create or cause to be created any debt, lien, pledge, assignment, encumbrance or
other charge having priority to or being on a parity with the lien thereon in favor of the Bonds
and Parity Obligations and the interest thereon. The Agency may at any time or from time to
time issue evidences of indebtedness payable in whole or in part from the Pledged Revenues
and which may be secured by a pledge of the Pledged Revenues; provided, however, that such
pledge shall be, and shall be expressed to be, subordinate in all respects to the pledge of the
Pledged Revenues created by this Resolution. The Agency shall have the right to covenant
with the Holders from time to time of any Bonds, Parity Obligations or Subordinated
Indebtedness to add to the conditions, limitations and restrictions under which any Additional
Bonds may be issued pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof. The Agency agrees to pay, in
accordance with the terms set forth above, promptly any Subordinated Indebtedness as the
same shall become due.
Section 1002 Issuance of Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations. Except as
otherwise provided in this section, no Additional Bonds may be issued under this Resolution and
no Parity Obligations may be hereafter issued or incurred, unless the Agency shall have first
complied with the requirements of this Section. Additional Bonds may be issued from time to
time hereunder, and Parity Obligations may be issued or incurred from time to time, for the
purpose of financing Projects, for the purpose of refunding or refinancing Bonds, Parity
Obligations or Subordinated Indebtedness, previously issued to pay the cost of or debt service
on obligations of the Agency incurred to finance Projects, or other obligations of the Agency,
including in each case, costs and expenses incidental thereto.
(a) Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations may be issued or incurred upon
compliance with the following requirements:
(i) Amounts in the Tax Increment Revenue Bond Fund and the accounts and
subaccounts therein are sufficient to satisfy the Reserve Requirements, the Rebate
Amount and the Debt Service Requirements with respect to the Outstanding Bonds in
the then -current Bond Year or the Agency has made provisions for the payment thereof
in accordance with this Resolution, and the Agency must have complied with the
covenants and provisions of this Resolution and any Supplemental Resolution hereafter
adopted for the issuance of Additional Bonds or Parity Obligations, unless upon the
issuance or incurrence of such Additional Bonds or Parity Obligations, the Agency will be
in compliance with all such covenants and provisions.
(ii) A certificate of the Agency's Executive Director or an independent
certified public accountant filed with the Executive Director reciting that, based on
necessary information, the amount of Modified Pledged Tax Increment Revenues,
together with net investment earnings on the funds and accounts hereunder and
available for the payment of debt service thereon, for the immediately preceding Fiscal
City of Miami Page 39 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
Year, equaled at least one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Maximum Annual Debt
Service (including in such calculation the Bonds and Parity Obligations then Outstanding
and the Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations proposed to be issued).
(iii) Each Supplemental Resolution authorizing the issuance of Additional
Bonds shall recite that all of the covenants herein contained will be fully applicable to
such Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations as if originally issued hereunder. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 6.01 and Article VII, Additional Bonds and Parity
Obligations issued pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.02 shall be
deemed on a parity with all Bonds and Parity Obligations then Outstanding, and all of the
covenants and other provisions of this Resolution shall be for the equal benefit,
protection and security of the Holders of any Bonds and Parity Obligations originally
authorized and issued pursuant to this Resolution and the Holders of any Bonds or
Parity Obligations evidencing additional obligations subsequently created within the
limitations of and in compliance with this Article.
(iv) In the event any Additional Bonds or Parity Obligations are issued for the
purpose of refunding any Bonds or Parity Obligations then Outstanding, the conditions of
Section 10.02(b) hereof shall not apply if (i) the final maturity date of the Additional
Bonds or Parity Obligations being issued is not later than the final maturity date of the
Bonds or Parity Obligations being refunded by such Additional Bonds, and (ii) the
Maximum Annual Debt Service with respect to such Additional Bonds or Parity
Obligations does not exceed the Maximum Annual Debt Service with respect to the
Bonds or Parity Obligations being refunded by such Additional Bonds or Parity
Obligations by more than ten percent (10%). The conditions of Section 10.02(b) hereof
shall apply to Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations issued to refund Subordinated
Indebtedness and to Additional Bonds and Parity Obligations issued for refunding
purposes which cannot meet the conditions of the first sentence in this paragraph (d).
(v) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 5.02, the
Agency may not issue any Additional Bonds or Parity Obligations if at the time of such
issuance there shall have occurred an event of default which has not been cured or
satisfied, unless such event of default shall be cured upon the issuance of such
Additional Bonds or Parity Obligations.
(b) The Agency may issue notes in anticipation of the issuance of Bonds which shall
have such terms and details and be secured in such manner, not inconsistent with this
Resolution, as shall be provided by ordinance or resolution of the Agency; provided, however,
that such bond anticipation notes may be issued only if (i) the requirements of Section 10.02(1)
hereof for the issuance of Additional Bonds are satisfied or (ii) such bond anticipation notes are
issued as Subordinated Indebtedness.
(3) Subordinated Indebtedness may become parity indebtedness hereunder and be
treated as Additional Bonds for all purposes hereof if as of the date of calculation at any time
after the issuance thereof such Subordinated Indebtedness shall meet each of the requirements
imposed upon the issuance of Additional Bonds by Section 10.02(1) hereof, assuming, for
purposes of said requirements, that such Subordinated Indebtedness shall be Additional Bonds
issued on the date of calculation. In connection with such accession of Subordinated
Indebtedness, the Agency shall either create a separate subaccount in the Reserve Account
and fund the Reserve Requirement with respect thereto, to the extent applicable, or designate
such Bonds as a Series secured by the Composite Reserve Subaccount and fund the increase
City of Miami Page 40 of 50 File Id. 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
in the Composite Reserve Requirement attributable thereto in accordance with
Section 7.04(1)(b) hereof. If the aforementioned conditions are satisfied, the Subordinated
Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Resolution, and such
Subordinated Indebtedness shall be considered Additional Bonds for all purposes provided in
this Resolution.
ARTICLE XI
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES
Section 1101 Events of Default. Each of the following events is hereby declared an
"event of default," that is to say if:
(i) Payment of principal of any Bond shall not be made when the same shall
become due and payable, either at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or on
required payment dates by proceedings for redemption or otherwise; or
(ii) Payment of any installment of interest shall not be made when the same
shall become due and payable; or
(iii) an order or decree shall be entered, with the consent or acquiescence of
the Agency, appointing a receiver or receivers of the Agency or the Redevelopment
Trust Fund, or any part thereof or the filing of a petition by the Agency for relief under
federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law or statute of the United States of
America or the State, which shall not be dismissed, vacated or discharged within ninety
(90) days after the filing thereof; or
(iv) any proceedings shall be instituted, with the consent or acquiescence of
the Agency, for the purpose of effecting a composition between the Agency and its
creditors or for the purpose of adjusting the claims of such creditors, pursuant to any
federal or state statutes now or hereafter enacted, if the claims of such creditors are
under any circumstances payable from the Tax Increment Revenues; or
(v) the entry of a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money
against the Agency which subjects any of the funds pledged hereunder to a lien for the
payment thereof in contravention of the provisions of this Resolution for which there
does not exist adequate insurance, reserves or appropriate bonds for the timely payment
thereof, and any such judgment shall not be discharged within ninety (90) days from the
entry thereof or an appeal shall not be taken there from or from the order, decree or
process upon which or pursuant to which such judgment shall have been granted or
entered, in such manner as to stay the execution of or levy under such judgment, order,
decree or process or the enforcement thereof; or
(vi) the Agency shall default in the due and punctual performance of any
other of the covenants, conditions, agreements and provisions contained in the Bonds or
in this Resolution on the part of the Agency to be performed, and such default shall
continue for thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such default and requiring the
same to be remedied shall have been given to the Agency by the Registered Owners of
not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Bond Obligation Outstanding or the Bond
Insurer of such amount of the Bond Obligation; provided, however, the Agency shall not
be deemed in default hereunder if such default can be cured within a reasonable period
City of Miami Page 41 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
of time and if the Agency in good faith institutes appropriate curative action and diligently
pursues such action until the default has been corrected.
For all purposes hereof, in determining whether a payment default has occurred,
no effect shall be given to payments made under a Bond Insurance Policy. To the extent that it
makes a payment of principal of (or Compounded Amounts, as applicable) and interest on
Bonds, a Bond Insurer shall become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments
as provided by its Bond Insurance Policy.
Section 1102 Enforcement of Remedies. Any Holder of Bonds issued under the
provisions of this Resolution or any trustee or receiver acting for such Bondholders may either
at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings in any court of competent
jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights under the Laws of the State of Florida, or
granted and contained in this Resolution, and may enforce and compel the performance of all
duties required by this Resolution or by any applicable statutes to be performed by the Agency
or by any officer thereof.
The Holder or Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Bond
Obligation then Outstanding may by a duly executed certificate in writing appoint a trustee for
Holders of Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution (the "Trustee") with authority to represent
such Bondholders in any legal proceedings for the enforcement and protection of the rights of
such Bondholders and such certificate shall be executed by such Bondholders or their duly
authorized attorneys or representatives, and shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk and with
the Agency. Notice of such appointment, together with evidence of the requisite signatures of
the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Bond Obligation Outstanding and
the trust instrument under which the Trustee shall have agreed to serve shall be filed with the
Agency and the Trustee and notice of appointment shall be given to all Holders of Bonds in the
same manner as notices of redemption are given hereunder. After the appointment of the first
Trustee hereunder, no further trustees may be appointed; however, the Holders of a majority of
the Bond Obligations then Outstanding may remove the Trustee initially appointed and appoint
a successor and subsequent successors at any time.
Section 1103 Effect of Discontinuing Proceedings. In case any proceeding taken by the
Trustee or any Bondholder on account of any default shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such
Bondholder, then and in every such case the Agency, the Trustee and Bondholders shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and all rights, remedies
and powers of the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
Section 1104 Directions to Trustee as to Remedial Proceedings. Anything in this
Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, the holders of a majority of the Bond Obligation shall
have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing executed and delivered to
the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings to be taken
by the Trustee hereunder, provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in
accordance with law or the provisions of this Resolution, and that the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to follow any such direction which in the opinion of the Trustee would be unjustly
prejudicial to Bondholders not parties to such direction.
Section 1105 Pro Rata Application of Funds. Anything in this Resolution to the contrary
notwithstanding, if at any time the moneys in the Debt Service Account shall not be sufficient to
pay the principal (or Compounded Amounts with respect to the Capital Appreciation Bonds) of
City of Miami Page 42 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
or the interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable such moneys, together with
any moneys then available or thereafter becoming available for such purpose, whether through
the exercise of the remedies provided for in this Article or otherwise, shall be applied as follows:
(i) Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due and payable,
all such moneys shall be applied (1) to the payment of all installments of interest then
due, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, to the Persons
entitled thereto, ratably, without any discrimination or preference, and (2) to the payment
of all installments principal then due, by maturity, or upon mandatory redemption, in
order of their due dates, to the persons entitled thereto, ratably, without discrimination or
preference.
(ii) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due and payable, all
such moneys shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest (or
Compounded Amounts with respect to Capital Appreciation Bonds) then due and unpaid
upon the Bonds, without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over
principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any
Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due, respectively, for
principal and interest (or Compounded Amounts with respect to Capital Appreciation
Bonds), to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or preference except
as to any difference in the respective rates of interest specified in the Bonds.
Whenever moneys are to be applied by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of
this Section, such moneys shall be applied by the Trustee at such times, and from time to time,
as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such
moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for
such application in the future; the setting aside of such moneys, in trust for the proper purpose,
shall constitute proper application by the Trustee; and the Trustee shall incur no liability
whatsoever to the Agency, to any Bondholder or to any other person for any delay in applying
any such moneys, so long as the Trustee acts with reasonable diligence, having due regard to
the circumstances, and ultimately applies the same in accordance with such provisions of this
Resolution as may be applicable at the time of application by the Trustee. Whenever the
Trustee shall exercise such discretion in applying such moneys, it shall fix the date (which shall
be an interest payment date unless the Trustee shall deem another date more suitable) upon
which such application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to
be paid on such date shall cease to accrue and the Compounded Amount of Capital
Appreciation Bonds shall cease to accrete. The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem
appropriate of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the
Owner of any Bond unless such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate
endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.
Section 1106 Restrictions on Actions by Individual Bondholders. No Bondholder shall
have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the execution of
any trust hereunder or for any other remedy hereunder unless such Bondholder previously shall
have given to the Trustee written notice of the event of default on account of which such suit,
action or proceeding is to be taken, and unless the holders of not less than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Bond Obligation shall have made written request of the Trustee after the right to
exercise such powers or right of action, as the case may be, shall have accrued, and shall have
afforded the Trustee a reasonable opportunity either to proceed to exercise the powers
hereinabove granted or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its or their name, and
unless, also, there shall have been offered to the Trustee reasonable security and indemnity
City of Miami Page 43 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, including the
reasonable fees of its attorneys (including fees on appeal), and the Trustee shall have refused
or neglected to comply with such request within a reasonable time; and such notification,
request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every such case, at the option of the
Trustee, to be conditions precedent to the execution of the powers and trusts of this Resolution
or for any other remedy hereunder. It is understood and intended that no one or more owners
of the Bonds hereby secured shall have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action
to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of this Resolution, or to enforce any right hereunder,
except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be
instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the benefit of all
Bondholders, and that any individual rights of action or any other right given to one or more of
such owners by law are restricted by this Resolution to the rights and remedies herein provided.
Nothing contained herein, however, shall affect or impair the right of any
Bondholder, individually, to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on his Bond or
Bonds at and after the maturity thereof, at the time, place, from the source and in the manner
provided in this Resolution.
Section 1107 Appointment of a Receiver. Upon the happening and continuance of an
event of default, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial proceedings to
enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Bondholders under this Resolution, the Trustee shall
be entitled, as a matter of right, without regard to the solvency of the Agency, to the
appointment of a receiver or receivers of the funds and accounts created herein, pending such
proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointments shall confer, whether or
not the Pledged Revenues and other funds pledged hereunder shall be deemed sufficient
ultimately to satisfy the Bonds Outstanding hereunder.
Section 1108 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Bondholders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and
every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
Section 1109 . Waiver of Default. No delay or omission of any Bondholder to exercise
any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default, or an acquiescence therein; and every power and
remedy given by Section 11.02 hereof to the Bondholders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as may be deemed expedient.
ARTICLE XII
MODIFICATION OR AMENDMENTS
Section 1201 Modification or Amendment. No modification or amendment of this
Resolution, or of any resolution amendatory hereof or supplemental hereto, materially adverse
to the Bondholders may be made without the consent in writing of the owners of not less than a
majority of the Bond Obligation, but no modification or amendment shall permit a change (a) in
the maturity of any of the Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest thereon, (b) in the amount
of the principal obligation of any Bond, (c) that would affect the unconditional promise of the
Agency to collect and hold the Pledged Revenues as herein provided, or provide for the receipt
and disbursement of such revenues except as herein provided, or (d) that would reduce such
percentage of holders of the Bond Obligation, required above, for such modifications or
amendments, without the consent of all of the Bondholders. For the purpose of Bondholders'
City of Miami Page 44 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
voting rights or consents, the Bonds owned by or held for the account of the Agency, directly or
indirectly, shall not be counted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and so long as the same shall
not result in the interest on Bonds other than Taxable Bonds Outstanding hereunder to be
included in gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes, the Agency
may, from time to time and at any time without the consent of the Bondholders, enter into such
Supplemental Resolutions (which Supplemental Resolutions shall thereafter form a part hereof):
(a) To cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or formal defect or omission in this
Resolution or in any Supplemental Resolution, or
(b) To grant to or confer upon the Bondholders any additional rights, remedies,
powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the Bondholders,
or
(c) To provide for the sale, authentication and delivery of Additional Bonds and the
disposition of the proceeds from the sale thereof, in the manner and to the extent authorized by
Article X above, or
(d) To modify, amend or supplement this Resolution or any resolution supplemental
hereto in such manner as to permit the qualification hereof and thereof under the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 or any similar federal statute hereafter in effect or to permit the
qualification of the Bonds for sale under the securities laws of any of the states of the United
States of America, and, if the Agency so determines, to add to this Resolution or any resolution
supplemental hereto such other terms, conditions and provisions as may be permitted by said
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 or similar federal statute, or
(e) To provide for the issuance of coupon Bonds or certificated or uncertificated
registered public obligations as contemplated in Section 5.02 hereof, or
(f) To change the description of the Project being financed with proceeds of any
Series of Bonds, including the nature or location of the Project.
(g) To add to the covenants and agreements of the Issuer in this Resolution other
covenants and agreements thereafter to be observed by the Issuer or to surrender any right or
power herein reserved to or conferred upon the Issuer.
(h) To authorize the issuance of Additional Bonds or Subordinated Indebtedness in
accordance with the requirements of Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 hereof, respectively.
(i) To make any other change that, in the opinion of the Agency, would not
materially adversely affect the security for the Bonds or the rights of the holders thereof. In
making such determination, the Agency shall not take into consideration any Bond Insurance
Policy or Credit Facility.
Section 1202 Amendment with Consent of Bond Holders and Bond Insurer and/or
Credit Facility Provider . Subject to the terms and provisions contained in this Section 12.02
and Sections 12.01 and 14.04 hereof, the Holder or Holders of not Tess than a majority of the
Bond Obligation then Outstanding shall have the right, from time to time, anything contained in
this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, to consent to and approve the adoption of such
supplemental or amendatory resolution hereto as shall be deemed necessary or desirable by
the Agency for the purpose of supplementing, modifying, altering, amending, adding to or
City of Miami Page 45 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this Resolution;
provided, however, that if such modification or amendment will, by its terms, not take effect so
long as any Bonds of any specified Series or maturity remain Outstanding, the consent of the
Holders of such Bonds shall not be required and such Bonds shall not be deemed to be
Outstanding for the purpose of any calculation of Outstanding Bonds under this Section 12.02.
No supplemental or amendatory resolution may be approved or adopted which shall permit or
require (A) an extension of the maturity of the principal of or the payment of the interest on any
Bond issued hereunder, (B) reduction in the principal amount of any Bond or the redemption
price or the rate of interest thereon, (C) the creation of a lien upon or a pledge of the Pledged
Revenues other than the lien and pledge created by this Resolution which adversely affects any
Bondholders, (D) a preference or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other Bond or Bonds,
or (E) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds required for consent to such
supplemental or amendatory resolution. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed
as making necessary the approval by Bondholders, Bond Insurer or Credit Facility Provider of
the adoption of any supplemental or amendatory resolution as authorized in Section 12.01
hereof.
If at any time the Agency shall determine that it is necessary or desirable to adopt any
supplemental or amendatory resolution pursuant to this Section 12.02, the Executive Director
shall cause the Registrar to give notice of the proposed adoption of such supplemental or
amendatory resolution and the form of consent to such adoption to be mailed, postage prepaid,
to all Bondholders at their addresses as they appear on the registration books. Such notice
shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental or amendatory resolution and
shall state that copies thereof are on file at the offices of the Agency and the Registrar for
inspection by all Bondholders. The Issuer shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any
Bondholder by reason of its failure to cause the notice required by this Section 12.02 to be
mailed and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental or amendatory
resolution when consented to and approved as provided in this Section 12.02.
Whenever the Agency shall obtain an instrument or instruments in writing purporting to
be executed by the Holders of not Tess than a majority of the Bond Obligation then Outstanding,
which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed supplemental or amendatory
resolution described in such notice and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption
thereof in substantially the form of the copy thereof referred to in such notice, thereupon, but not
otherwise, the Agency may adopt such supplemental or amendatory resolution in substantially
such form, without liability or responsibility to any Holder of any Bond, whether or not such
Holder shall have consented thereto.
If the Holders of not less than a majority of the Bond Obligation Outstanding at the time
of the adoption of such supplemental or amendatory resolution shall have consented to and
approved the adoption thereof as herein provided, no Holder of any Bond shall have any right to
object to the adoption of such supplemental or amendatory resolution, or to object to any of the
terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question
the propriety of the adoption thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Agency from adopting the same
or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.
Upon the adoption of any supplemental or amendatory resolution pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 12.02, this Resolution shall be deemed to be modified and amended
in accordance therewith, and the respective rights, duties and obligations under this Resolution
of the Agency and all Holders of Bonds then Outstanding shall thereafter be determined,
City of Miami Page 46 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
exercised and enforced in all respects under the provisions of this Resolution as so modified
and amended.
The initial purchaser of a Series of Bonds, including underwriters, may give
consent to amendments to this Resolution, and such consent may be in an amount equal to the
Bond Obligation initially purchased by such purchaser (including such purchaser acting the
capacity as an underwriter), which amendments may be prejudicial to the rights or interests of
the holders of Outstanding Bonds.
ARTICLE XIII
DEFEASANCE
Section 1301 Defeasance and Release of Resolution. If, at any time after the date of
issuance of the Bonds, (a) all Bonds secured hereby, or any Series thereof, or maturity or
portion of a maturity within a Series, shall have become due and payable in accordance with
their terms or otherwise as provided in this Resolution, or shall have been duly called for
redemption, or the Agency gives the Paying Agents irrevocable instructions directing the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds at maturity or at any
earlier redemption date scheduled by the Agency, or any combination thereof, and (b) the whole
amount of the principal, premium, if any, and the interest so due and payable upon such Bonds,
at maturity or upon redemption, shall be paid, or sufficient moneys shall be held by the Paying
Agents, an escrow agent or any Authorized Depository, in irrevocable trust for the benefit of
such Bondholders (whether or not in any accounts created hereby) which, as verified by a report
of a nationally recognized independent certified public accountant or nationally recognized firm
of independent certified public accountants or nationally recognized financial verification firm,
when invested in Refunding Securities maturing not later than the maturity or redemption dates
of such principal, premium, if any, and interest will, together with the income realized on such
investments, be sufficient to pay all such principal, premium, if any, and interest on said Bonds
at the maturity thereof or the date upon which such Bonds are to be called for redemption prior
to maturity, provided, however, a verification report shall not be required if such amount is held
as cash and not invested in Refunding Securities, then and in that case the right, title and
interest of such Bondholders hereunder and the pledge of and lien on the Pledged Revenues,
and all other pledges and liens created hereby or pursuant hereto, with respect to such
Bondholders shall thereupon cease, determine and become void, and if such conditions have
been satisfied with respect to all Bonds issued hereunder and then Outstanding., and provisions
shall also be made for paying all other sums payable hereunder by the Agency, all balances
remaining in any other funds or accounts created by this Resolution other than moneys held for
redemption or payment of Bonds and to pay all other sums payable by the Agency hereunder
shall be distributed to the Agency for any lawful purpose; otherwise this Resolution shall be,
continue and remain in full force and effect.
For purposes of determining the amount of interest due and payable with respect
to Bonds issued as Variable Rate Bonds pursuant to (b) above, the interest on such Bonds shall
be calculated as provided in the definition of Debt Service Requirement.
For purposes of determining the amount of principal, premium, if any, and
interest due and payable pursuant to (b) above with respect to Bonds subject to mandatory
purchase or redemption by the Agency at the option of the registered owner thereof ("Put
Bonds"), as long as a liquidity credit facility remains in place such amount shall be the maximum
amount of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Put Bonds which could become
payable to the Registered Owners of such Bonds upon the exercise of any such demand
City of Miami Page 47 of 50 File Id: 12-00877 (Version 3) Printed On: 08/02/2012
options provided to the Registered Owners of such Put Bonds. If any portion of the moneys
deposited with the Paying Agents for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on Put Bonds is not required for such purpose the Paying Agents shall pay the amount
of such excess to the Agency for use in such manner as required or permitted pursuant to a
Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel.
If a portion of a maturity of a series of Bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund
redemption from Amortization Installments shall be defeased as provided above, the principal
amount of the Bonds so defeased shall be allocated to the Amortization Installments designated
by the Agency, or if no such designation is made, such principal amount shall be allocated to
Amortization Installments in inverse order of maturity. The selection of a portion of a maturity of
a Series of Bonds subject to defeasance shall be determined in the same manner as the
optional redemption provisions of such Series of Bonds.
ARTICLE XIV
