negotiated sale of the Bonds is in the best interest of the City for the following reasons:
(i) the complex structure and timing of the issuance of the Bonds and the
refinancing of the Note and the Refunded Loans require extensive planning, and it is not
practical for the City and the Financial Advisor to engage in such planning within the time
constraints and uncertainties inherent in a competitive bidding process; and
(ii) it is necessary to be able to sell the Bonds when market conditions are most
favorable in order to attain the most favorable interest rates on the Bonds; 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 Bonds, in order to obtain the most
favorable interest rates available.

City of Miami Page 10 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
provided, however, that (i) if ownership of Bonds is maintained in a book -entry only system by a
securities depository, such payment may be made by automatic funds transfer to the securities
depository or its nominee or (ii) if such 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
Bonds, such payments may be made by wire transfer to the bank and bank account specified in writing
by such Holder (such bank being a bank within the continental United States), if such Holder has
advanced to the Bond Registrar the amount necessary to pay the cost of such wire transfer or
authorized the Bond Registrar to deduct the cost of such wire transfer from the payment due to such
Holder. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any interest not punctually paid on
a Regular Record Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date
and may be paid at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted
interest to be fixed by the Bond Registrar, notice of which shall be given not less than 10 days prior to
such special record date to such Holder.
Section 2.03. Redemption Provisions. The Bonds may be subject to redemption prior to
maturity at such times, at such redemption prices and upon such terms in addition to the terms
contained in this Resolution as may be set forth in the City Manager's Certificate. The optional
redemption of the Bonds, if any, may be conditioned upon the receipt by the Bond Registrar of
sufficient moneys to pay the redemption price of the Bonds to be redeemed.
Notice of redemption for Bonds being redeemed 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 Bonds or portions of the 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 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. Such notice shall set forth the date fixed for redemption, the rate of interest borne by
each Bond being redeemed, the name and address of the Bond Registrar, the redemption price to be
paid and, if less than all of the Bonds of a series then Outstanding shall be called for redemption, 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, a new Bond
or Bonds in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Bond will be issued. If the
optional redemption of any of the Bonds is conditioned upon the receipt of sufficient moneys as
described above, the notice of redemption which relates to such Bonds shall also state that the
redemption is so conditioned.
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.
Notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions hereinabove provided, the
Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for redemption shall, on the redemption date designated in such
notice, become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for redemption for such
Bonds or portions of Bonds on such date; provided, however, that Bonds or portion of Bonds called for
optional redemption and which redemption is conditioned upon the receipt of sufficient moneys as
described above, shall not become due and payable on the redemption date if sufficient moneys to
pay the redemption price of such Bonds or portions of Bonds have not been received by the Bond
Registrar on or prior to the redemption date. On the date so designated for redemption, moneys for
payment of the redemption price being held in separate accounts by the Bond Registrar in trust for the
registered owners of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, all as provided in this Resolution,
interest on the Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds
and portions of Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Resolution
and shall be deemed paid hereunder, 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 below, to receive Bonds for any unredeemed portions of the Bonds.

In case part but not all of a Bond shall be selected for redemption, the registered owners
thereof shall present and surrender such Bond to the Bond Registrar 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 Bonds so surrendered, a Bond or Bonds fully registered as to principal and interest.
Section 2.04. Execution of Bonds. The 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 Bonds
and attested to and countersigned by the City Clerk. In addition, the City Attorney or any Assistant City
Attorney shall sign the Bonds, showing approval of the form and correctness thereof. The signatures
of the City Manager, the City Clerk and the City Attorney or Assistant City Attorney on the Bonds may
be by facsimile. If any officer whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to hold office 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.
The Bonds shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication, in the form set forth in Exhibit A
hereto, executed manually by the Bond Registrar. Only such Bonds as shall bear thereon such
certificate of authentication shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Resolution and no Bond
shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly
executed by the Bond Registrar. Such certificate of the Bond Registrar upon any Bond executed on
behalf of the City shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly
authenticated and delivered under this Resolution and that the Holder thereof is entitled to the benefits
of this Resolution.
Section 2.05. Negotiability, Registration and Cancellation. At the option of the Holder thereof
and upon surrender thereof at the designated corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his duly
authorized attorney and upon payment by such Holder of any charges which the Bond Registrar or the
City may make as provided in this Section, the Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of the same
series, aggregate principal amount of the same maturity of any other authorized denominations.
The Bond Registrar shall keep books for the registration of Bonds and for the registration of
transfers of Bonds. The Bonds shall be transferable by the Holder thereof in person or by his attorney
duly authorized in writing only upon the books of the City kept by the Bond Registrar and only upon
surrender thereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly
executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, the City
shall cause to be issued in the name of the transferee a new Bond or Bonds.
The City, the Bond Registrar and any other fiduciaries may deem and treat the person in
whose name any Bond shall be registered upon the books kept by the Bond Registrar as the absolute
Holder of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment
of, or on account of, the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on such Bond as the
same becomes due and for all other purposes. All such payments so made to any such Holder or
upon his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the City, the Bond Registrar nor any other fiduciary
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or transferring Bonds is exercised, the
City shall execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the
provisions of this Resolution. All Bonds surrendered in any such exchanges or transfers shall forthwith
be delivered to the Bond Registrar and canceled by the Bond Registrar in the manner provided in this
Section. There shall be no charge for any such exchange or transfer of Bonds, but the City or the
Bond Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay any tax, fee or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. Neither the City nor the Bond
Registrar shall be required (a) to transfer or exchange Bonds for a period of 15 days next preceding
any selection of Bonds to be redeemed or thereafter until after the mailing of any notice of redemption;
City of Miami Page 12 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
or (b) to transfer or exchange any Bonds called for redemption.
All Bonds paid or redeemed, either at or before maturity shall be delivered to the Bond
Registrar when such payment or redemption is made, and such Bonds, together with all Bonds
purchased by the City, shall thereupon be promptly canceled. Bonds so canceled may at any time be
destroyed by the Bond Registrar, who shall execute a certification of destruction in duplicate by the
signature of one of its authorized officers describing the Bonds so destroyed, and one executed
certificate shall be filed with the City and the other executed certificate shall be retained by the Bond
Registrar.
Section 2.06. Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case any Bond shall become
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, the City may execute and the Bond Registrar shall authenticate
and deliver a new Bond of like series, maturity, denomination and interest rate as the Bond so
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost; provided that, in the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated
Bond shall first be surrendered to the City and, in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there
shall first be furnished to the City and the Bond Registrar evidence of such loss, theft, or destruction
satisfactory to the City and the Bond Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory to them. In the
event any such Bond shall be about to mature or has matured or has been called for redemption,
instead of issuing a duplicate Bond, the City may direct the Bond Registrar to pay the same without
surrender thereof. The City and Bond Registrar may charge the Holder of such Bonds their
reasonable fees and expenses in connection with this transaction. Any Bond surrendered for
replacement shall be canceled in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 hereof.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute additional contractual
obligations on the part of the City, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds be at any time
found by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and
rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the applicable Pledged Funds, with all
other Bonds issued hereunder.
Section 2.07. Preparation of Definitive Bonds; Temporary Bonds. The definitive Bonds shall
be lithographed, printed or typewritten. Until the definitive Bonds are prepared, the City Manager and
City Clerk may execute and the Bond Registrar may authenticate, in the same manner as is provided
in Section 2.04, and deliver, in lieu of definitive Bonds, but subject to the same provisions, limitations
and conditions as the definitive Bonds, one or more printed, lithographed or typewritten temporary fully
registered Bonds, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which such temporary
Bond or Bonds are issued, in authorized denominations, and with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate to such temporary Bonds. The City at its own expense shall prepare
and execute and, upon the surrender at the designated corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar of
such temporary Bonds for which no payment or only partial payment has been provided, the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate and, without charge to the Holder thereof, deliver in exchange therefor, at
the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar, definitive Bonds of the same aggregate
principal amount and maturity as the temporary Bonds surrendered. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and security as definitive Bonds
issued pursuant to this Resolution.
Section 2.08. Form of Bonds. The text of the Bonds shall be of the tenor set forth in Exhibit
A to this Resolution, with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be necessary and desirable
and authorized or permitted by this Resolution.
Section 2.09. Book -Entry Only System for the Bonds; Qualification for DTC. The Bonds shall
initially be issued as uncertificated securities through the book -entry only system maintained by DTC.
The City and the Bond Registrar are hereby authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to
qualify the Bonds for deposit with DTC, including but not limited to those actions as are set forth in the
letter of representations between the City and DTC, wire transfers of interest and principal payments
with respect to the Bonds, utilization of electronic book entry data received from DTC in place of actual
delivery of Bonds and provisions of notices with respect to Bonds registered by DTC (or any of its
designees identified to the City and the Bond Registrar) by overnight delivery, courier service,
telegram, telecopy or other similar means of communication.

Preliminary Official Statement and the Official Statement by the lowest and most responsive bidder
therefor and the payment of the cost of such printing is hereby authorized to be paid from the
proceeds of the Bonds.

from time to time of the Bonds, the City agrees, in accordance with and as the only obligated person
with respect to the Bonds under the Rule, to provide or cause to be provided certain financial

(a) Covenant to Budget and Appropriate. The City covenants and agrees to budget and
appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues
lawfully available in each Fiscal Year, amounts sufficient to satisfy (i) the Annua Debt Service
Requirement for such Fiscal Year, (ii) any deposits required to be made into the Debt Service Reserve
Account during such Fiscal Year, (iii) any other amounts due the Providers of any Bond Insurance
Policy, Reserve Account Insurance Policy or ReserveAcunt Letter of Credit an the Bond Registrar
during such Fiscal Year and (iv) any Rebate Amount due during such Fiscal Year as provided in
Section 3.04(h). 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
City of Miami Page 16 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
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 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 Bondholders, the Providers of any Bond Insurance Policy, Reserve
Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit or the Bond Registrar 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 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 in the manner described herein Non -Ad
Valorem Revenues and placing on the City a positive duty to budget and appropriate, by amendment,
if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder; subject, however, in all respects to
the restrictions of Section 166.241(2), Florida Statutes, which provides, in part, that the governing body
of each municipality make appropriations for each Fiscal Year which, in any one year, shall not exceed
the amount to be received from taxation or other revenue sources; and subject further, 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.
(b) Disposition of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues. There is hereby created and established the
"City of Miami Special Obligation Non -Ad Valorem Revenue Refunding Bonds Sinking Fund"
(hereinafter referred to as the "Sinking Fund"). There are also hereby created four (4) separate
Accounts in the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Interest Account," the "Principal Account," the "Bond
Redemption Account" and the "Debt Service Reserve Account." There are hereby further created
within each Account a separate subaccount for the Series 2011A Bonds and for the Series 2011B
Bonds. The Sinking Fund, the Accounts and subaccounts therein shall be held by the City in an
Authorized Depository.
Non Ad -Valorem Revenues appropriated in each Fiscal Year for the purposes under the
provisions of Section 3.04(a) above shall be applied in the following manner:
(1) To the full extent necessary, for deposit into each subaccount of the Interest
Account in the Sinking Fund, on the fifth (5th) day preceding each Interest Payment Date, such
sums as shall be sufficient to pay the interest becoming due on the Bonds on each such
Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that such deposits for interest shall not be required
to be made into the applicable subaccount of the Interest Account to the extent that money on
deposit therein is sufficient for such purpose.
The City shall, on each Interest Payment Date, transfer to the Bond Registrar moneys
in an amount equal to the interest due on such Interest Payment Date or shall, prior to such
Interest Payment Date, advise the Bond Registrar of the amount of any deficiency in the
amount so to be transferred so that the Bond Registrar may give the appropriate notice
required to provide for the payment of such deficiency on such Interest Payment Date from any
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit, if any, on deposit in the
appropriate subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account or from the Bond Insurance
Policy, as applicable.
(2) (A) To the full extent necessary, for deposit into each subaccount of the Principal
Account in the Sinking Fund, on the fifth (5th) day preceding each principal maturity date, the
principal amount of Serial Bonds which will mature and become due on such maturity date;
provided, however, that such deposits for principal shall not be required to be made into the
applicable subaccount of the Principal Account to the extent that money on deposit therein is
sufficient for such purpose.
The City shall, on each principal payment date, transfer to the Bond Registrar moneys
in an amount equal to the principal due on such principal payment date or shall, prior to such
City of Miami Page 17 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
principal payment date, advise the Bond Registrar of the amount of any deficiency in the
amount so to be transferred so that the Bond Registrar may give the appropriate notice
required to provide for the payment of such deficiency on such principal payment date from any
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit, if any, on deposit in the
appropriate subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account or from the Bond Insurance
Policy, as applicable.
(B) To the full extent necessary, for deposit into each subaccount of the Bond
Redemption Account, if applicable, in the Sinking Fund on the fifth (5th) day preceding each
redemption or maturity date, the Amortization Requirements as may be necessary for the
payment of any Term Bonds payable from such subaccount of the Bond Redemption Account
on such redemption or maturity date; provided, however, that such deposits for Amortization
Requirements shall not be required to be made into the applicable subaccount of the Bond
Redemption Account to the extent that money on deposit therein is sufficient for such purpose.
The moneys in such subaccount of the Bond Redemption Account shall be used solely
for the purchase or redemption of Term Bonds payable therefrom. The City may at any time
purchase any of said Term Bonds or portions thereof at prices not greater than the then
redemption price of said Term Bonds. If the Term Bonds are not then redeemable, the City
may purchase said Term Bonds at prices not greater than the redemption price of such Term
Bonds on the next ensuing redemption date. The City shall be mandatorily obligated to use
any moneys in such subaccount of the Bond Redemption Account for the redemption prior to
maturity of such Term Bonds in such manner and at such times as the same are subject to
mandatory redemption. If, by the application of moneys in a subaccount of the Bond
Redemption Account, the City shall purchase or call for redemption in any year Term Bonds in
excess of the Amortization Requirements for such year, such excess of Term Bonds so
purchased or redeemed shall be credited in such manner and at such times as the Director of
Finance shall determine over the remaining payment dates.
The City shall, on each redemption or maturity date, transfer to the Bond Registrar
moneys in an amount equal to the payments due on any Term Bonds on such redemption or
maturity date or shall, prior to such redemption or maturity date, advise the Bond Registrar of
the amount of any deficiency in the amount so to be transferred so that the Bond Registrar may
give the appropriate notice required to provide for the payment of such deficiency on such
redemption or maturity date from any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account
Letter of Credit on deposit in the applicable subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account
or from the Bond Insurance Policy, as applicable.
(3) To the full extent necessary, for deposit into each subaccount of the Debt
Service Reserve Account in the Sinking Fund on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month in each
year, beginning with the fifteenth (15th) day of the first full calendar month following the date on
which there is a deficiency in the amount required to be on deposit in the subaccounts of the
Debt Service Reserve Account, such sums as shall be at least sufficient to pay an amount
equal to one -twelfth (1/12) of the difference between the amount on deposit in the subaccounts
of the Debt Service Reserve Account (including any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit) and the Reserve Account Requirement; provided, however,
that no payments shall be required to be made into any subaccount of the Debt Service
Reserve Account whenever and as long as the amount on deposit therein (including any
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit) shall be equal to the
Reserve Account Requirement for such series of Bonds.
Moneys in the subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be used only for
the purpose of making payments of principal of and interest on the corresponding series of
Bonds when the moneys in any other subaccount of any Account held pursuant to this
Resolution and available for such purpose are insufficient therefor. Moneys on deposit in a
subaccount shall only be used for the corresponding series of Bonds.
Any moneys in the subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve Account in excess of the
City of Miami Page 18 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
Reserve Account Requirement for such series of Bonds may, in the discretion of the City, be
transferred to and deposited in the applicable subaccount of the Interest Account, the Principal
Account or the Bond Redemption Account as the City at its option may determine.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of or in substitute for the required
deposits (including existing deposits therein) into the subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve
Account, the City may cause to be deposited into the subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve
Account a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or a Reserve Account Letter of Credit for the
benefit of the Holders of the corresponding series of Bonds Outstanding, which Reserve
Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be payable or available to
be drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the giving of notice as required thereunder), on any
Interest Payment Date or principal payment date or mandatory redemption date on which a
deficiency exists which cannot be cured by moneys in any other fund or account held pursuant
to this Resolution and available for such purpose. If a disbursement is made under the
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or the Reserve Account Letter of Credit, the City shall be
obligated to either (i) reinstate the maximum limits of such Reserve Account Insurance Policy
or Reserve Account Letter of Credit within twelve months by increasing the amount payable or
available to be drawn thereunder in equal monthly amounts over such twelve month period, or
(ii) deposit, on a monthly basis in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 3.04(b)(3),
into the applicable subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account from the Non -Ad Valorem
Revenues appropriated in accordance with Section 3.04(a) hereof, funds in the amount of the
disbursements made under such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter
of Credit, or a combination of such alternatives as shall equal the Reserve Account
Requirement for the applicable series of Bonds Outstanding.
In the event that upon the occurrence of any deficiency in the subaccounts of the
Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Bond Redemption Account, the applicable
subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account is then funded with one or more Reserve
Account Insurance Policies and/or Reserve Account Letters of Credit, the City or the Bond
Registrar, as applicable, shall, on an interest or principal payment date or mandatory
redemption date to which such deficiency relates, draw upon or cause to be paid under such
facilities, on a pro-rata basis thereunder, an amount sufficient to remedy such deficiency, in
accordance with the terms and provisions of such facilities and any corresponding
reimbursement or other agreement governing such facilities; provided however, that if at the
time of such deficiency the applicable subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account is only
partially funded with one or more Reserve Account Insurance Policies and/or Reserve Account
Letters of Credit, prior to drawing on such facilities or causing payments to be made
thereunder, the City shall first apply any cash and securities on deposit in the applicable
subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account to remedy the deficiency and, if after such
application a deficiency still exists, the City or the Bond Registrar, as applicable, shall make up
the balance of the deficiency by drawing on such facilities or causing payments to be made
thereunder, as provided in this paragraph. Amounts drawn or paid under a Reserve Account
Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be applied as set forth in the second
paragraph of this Section 3.04(b)(3). Any amounts drawn or paid under a Reserve Account
Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed to the Provider
thereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the reimbursement or other agreement
governing such facility.
The subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be valued on the last day
of each Fiscal Year and the value of securities on deposit therein shall be the lower of par, or if
purchased at other than par, amortized value. Amortized value, when used with respect to
securities purchased at a premium above or a discount below par, shall mean the value at any
given date obtained by dividing the total premium or discount at which such securities were
purchased by the number of interest payment dates remaining to maturity on such securities
after such purchase and by multiplying the amount so calculated by the number of interest
City of Miami Page 19 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5118/2011
File Number: 11-00441
payment dates having passed since the date of purchase; and (i) in the case of securities
purchased at a premium, by deducting the product thus obtained from the purchase price, and
(ii) in the case of securities purchased at a discount, by adding the product thus obtained to the
purchase price.
(4) To the Providers, if any, and the Bond Registrar, as applicable, in payment of
amounts payable to such parties during such Fiscal Year not paid pursuant to the above
provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, if any amount
applied to the payment of principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds that
would have been paid from a subaccount in the Accounts in the Sinking Fund, is paid instead under
the Bond Insurance Policy, amounts deposited in such relevant subaccount may be paid, to the extent
required, to the Provider of the Bond Insurance Policy having theretofore made said corresponding
payment.
(c) Investment of Funds. The Sinking Fund, including the Interest Account, Principal
Account, Bond Redemption Account and Debt Service Reserve Account, and the subaccounts therein,
and the Cost of Issuance' Funds shall constitute trust funds and shall be invested by the City as
provided in this Section 3.O4(c).
Moneys on deposit in the subaccounts of the Interest Account, Principal Account, Bond
Redemption Account, and the Cost of Issuance Funds may be invested in Permitted Investments
maturing not later than the dates on which such moneys will be needed for the purposes of such fund
or account.
Moneys on deposit in the subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve Account may be invested
in Permitted Investments maturing not later than five years from the date of deposit of such Permitted
Investment into the applicable subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account.
All income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of moneys in the
applicable subaccounts of the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Bond Redemption
Account in the Sinking Fund shall be retained in the respective subaccounts and applied as a credit
against the obligation of the City to deposit moneys to such subaccounts pursuant to Section 3.O4(b)
(1) and Section 3.04 (b)(2)(A) and Section 3.04 (b)(2)(B) of this Resolution, respectively.
All income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of moneys in the
subaccounts of the Debt Service Reserve Account in the Sinking Fund shall be retained in such
subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account and applied as a credit against the obligation of the
City to deposit moneys to such subaccount, unless the amount in such subaccount shall exceed the
Reserve Account Requirement for such series of Bonds, in which event such excess may be applied in
the manner set forth for excess amounts in the subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account, as
described in Section 3.04 (b)(3).
All income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of moneys in the Cost
of Issuance Fund and any excess amounts on deposit therein shall be transferred to the
corresponding subaccounts of the Interest Account.
For the purpose of investing or reinvesting, the City may commingle moneys in the Funds and
Accounts created and established hereunder in order to achieve greater investment income; provided
that the City shall separately account for the amounts so commingled. The amounts required to be
accounted for in each of the Funds and Accounts designated herein may be deposited in a single bank
account provided that adequate accounting procedures are maintained to reflect and control the
restricted allocations of the amounts on deposit therein for the various purposes of such Funds and
Accounts as herein provided. The designation and establishment of Funds and Accounts in and by
this Resolution shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent
Funds and Accounts but rather is intended solely to constitute an allocation of certain revenues and
assets for certain purposes and to establish such certain priorities for application of certain revenues
and assets as herein provided.
(d) Books and Records. The City will keep separately identifiable accounting records for
the Pledged Funds by the use of a fund established in accordance with generally accepted accounting
City of Miami Page 20 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
principles, and any Holder of a Bond or Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution, shall have the right
at all reasonable times to inspect all records, accounts and data of the City relating thereto. Such
records and accounts shall contain the statements required by generally accepted accounting
principles applicable to governmental entities.
(e) No Impairment of Contract. The City has full power and authority to irrevocably pledge the
Pledged Funds to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The pledge of such
Pledged Funds, in the manner provided herein, shall not be subject to repeal, modification or
impairment by any subsequent resolution, ordinance or other proceedings of the City so long as any
Bonds are Outstanding hereunder. The City shall take all actions necessary and pursue such legal
remedies which may be available to it either in law or in equity to prevent or cure any impairment by
any entity other than the City within the meaning of this subsection.
(f) Discharge and Satisfaction of Bonds. The covenants, liens and pledges entered into,
created or imposed pursuant to this Resolution may be fully discharged and satisfied with respect to all
or a portion of the Bonds in any one or more of the following ways:
(1) by paying the principal of and interest on such Bonds when the same shall
become due and payable; or
(2) by depositing in the applicable subaccount of the Interest Account, the Principal
Account and the Bond Redemption Account and/or in such other accounts which are
irrevocably pledged to the payment of such series of Bonds as the City may hereafter create
and establish by resolution, certain moneys which together with other moneys lawfully available
therefor, if any, shall be sufficient at the time of such deposit to pay when due the principal,
redemption premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on said series of Bonds on or
prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof; or
(3) by depositing in the applicable subaccount of the Interest Account, the Principal
Account and the Bond Redemption Account and/or such other accounts which are irrevocably
pledged to the payment of such series of Bonds as the City may hereafter create and establish
by resolution, moneys which together with other moneys lawfully available therefor, when
invested in Government Obligations which shall not be subject to redemption prior to their
maturity other than at the option of the holder thereof, will provide moneys which shall be
sufficient to pay when due the principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest due and to
become due on said Bonds on or prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof and
delivering a verification report of a nationally recognized certified public accountant as to the
adequacy of such deposit, together with investment earnings thereon, to pay when due the
principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest due or to become due on or prior to the
redemption date or maturity date of the applicable series of Bonds.
(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all references to the discharge and satisfaction of
Bonds shall include the discharge and satisfaction of any portion of the Bonds, any maturity or
maturities of the Bonds, any portion of a maturity of the Bonds or any combination thereof.
Upon such payment or deposit in the amount and manner provided in this Section 3.04 (f),
Bonds shall be deemed to be paid and shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding for the purposes
of this Resolution and all liability of the City with respect to said Bonds shall cease, terminate and be
completely discharged and extinguished, and the Holders thereof shall be entitled to payment solely
out of the moneys or securities so deposited; provided that in the event said Bonds do not mature and
are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, the City shall have given the Bond
Registrar irrevocable instructions to give, as soon as practicable, a notice to the Holders of said Bonds
by first-class mail, postage prepaid, stating that the deposit of said moneys or Government Obligations
has been made with an appropriate fiduciary institution acting as escrow agent solely for the Holders
of said Bonds and other Bonds being defeased, and that said Bonds are deemed to have been paid in
accordance with this Section and stating such maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to
be available for the payment of the principal of and redemption premium, if any, and interest on said
Bonds.
In the event that the principal or redemption price, if applicable, and interest due on the Bonds
City of Miami Page 21 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 11 Printed On: 5118/2011
File Number: 11-00441
shall be paid by the Provider pursuant to the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy, the assignment and
pledge created hereunder and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the City to the
Bondholders shall continue to exist and the Provider shall be subrogated to the rights of such
Bondholders.
If any portion of the moneys deposited for the payment of the principal of and redemption
premium, if any, and interest on any portion of Bonds is not required for such purpose, the City may
use the amount of such excess free and clear of any trust, lien, security interest, pledge or assignment
securing said Bonds or otherwise existing under this Resolution.
(g) Compliance with Tax Requirements. The City covenants and agrees to comply with the
requirements applicable to it contained in the Code to the extent necessary to preserve the exclusion
of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Specifically, without
intending to limit in any way the generality of the foregoing, the City covenants and agrees:
To pay to the United States of America, at the times required pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code,
any rebate amount ("Rebate Amount") determined pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code;
(1) To maintain and retain all records pertaining to and to be responsible for making
or causing to be made all determinations and calculations of the Rebate Amount and required
payments of the Rebate Amount as shall be necessary to comply with the Code;
(2) To refrain from using proceeds from the Bonds 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
(3) To refrain from taking any action that would cause the Bonds, or any of them, to
become arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code.
Section 3.05. Events of Default; Remedies. Each of the following events is hereby declared
an "event of default," that is to say if:
(a) 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
(b) Payments of any installment of interest shall not be made when the same shall become due
and payable; or
(c) the City shall fail to make any deposits required to be made hereunder or shall otherwise
fail to comply with any of the covenants and obligations of the City hereunder and such failure shall
continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after such failure to deposit or other such
occurrence; or
(d) an order or decree shall be entered, with the consent or acquiescence of the City, appointing a
receiver or receivers of the City, or the filing of a petition by the City for relief under federal bankruptcy
laws or any other similar law or statute of the Untied States of America or the State of Florida, which
shall not be dismissed, vacated or discharged within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof; or
(e) any proceedings shall be instituted, with the consent or acquiescence of the City, for the purpose
of effecting a composition between the City 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 Pledged Funds.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the events described in clause (c), the City shall not be
deemed in default hereunder if such default can be cured within a reasonable period of time and if the
City in good faith institutes appropriate curative action and diligently pursues such action until the
default has been corrected.
Section 3.06. Enforcement of Remedies. Upon the happening and continuance of any event
of default specified in Section 3.05, then and in every such case the owners of not less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding may appoint
any state bank, national bank, trust company or national banking association qualified to transact
business in Florida to serve as trustee for the benefit of the holders of all Bonds then outstanding (the
"Default Trustee"). Notice of such appointment, together with evidence of the requisite signatures of
the holders of twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding
City of Miami Page 22 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
and the trust instrument under which the Default Trustee shall have agreed to serve shall be filed with
the City and the Default Trustee and notice of such appointment shall be mailed to the registered
holders of the Bonds. No more than one Default Trustee may be appointed and serving hereunder at
any one time; however, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
Outstanding may remove the Default Trustee initially appointed and appoint a successor and
subsequent successors at any time. If the default for which the Default Trustee was appointed is
cured or waived pursuant to this Section 3.06, the appointment of the Default Trustee shall terminate
with respect to such default.
After a Default Trustee has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, the Default Trustee may
proceed, and upon the written request of owners of twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall proceed, to protect and enforce the rights of the
Bondholders under the laws of the State of Florida, including the Act, and under this Resolution, by
such suits, actions or special proceedings in equity or at law, or by proceedings in the office of any
board, body or officer having jurisdiction, either for the specific performance of any covenant or
agreement contained herei or in aid of execution of any power herein granted or for the enforcement
of any proper legal or equitable remedy, all as the Default Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights.
In the enforcement of any remedy against the City under this Resolution the Default Trustee
shall be entitled to sue for, enforce payment of and receive any and all amounts then or during any
City default becoming, and at any time remaining, due from the City for principal, interest or otherwise
under any provisions of this Resolution or of such Bonds and unpaid, with interest on overdue
payments of principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on interest, at the rate or rates of interest
specified in such Bonds, together with any and all costs and expenses of collection and of all
proceedings hereunder and under such Bonds, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the
Default Trustee or of the Bondholders, and to recover and enforce any judgment or decree against the
City, but solely as provided herein and in such Bonds, for any portion of such amounts remaining
unpaid and interest, costs and expenses as above provided, and to collect (but solely from moneys in
the Sinking Fund, the Reserve Fund and any other moneys available for such purpose) in any manner
provided by law, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.
Section 3.07. Effect of Discontinuing Proceedings. In case any proceeding taken by the
Default 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 Default Trustee or such
Bondholder, then and in every such case the City, the Default Trustee and the Bondholders shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and all rights, remedies and
powers of the Default Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.
Section 3.08. Directions to Default Trustee as to Remedial Proceedings. Anything in this
Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount
of the Bonds Outstanding shall have the right, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing
executed and delivered to the Default Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all
remedial proceedings to be taken byth Dfault Trustee hereunder,provided that such direction shall not
be otherwise than in accordance with law or the provisions of this Resolution, and that the Default
Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction which in the opinion of the Default
Trustee would be unjustly prejudicial to Bondholders not parties to such direction.
Section 3.09. 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 Default 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
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding shall have made written request of the Default
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 Default 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
City of Miami Page 23 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number:: 11-00441
name, and unless, also, there shall have been offered to the Default Trustee reasonable security and
indemnity 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 Default Trustee shall have refused
or neglected to comply with such request within a reasonable period of time; and such notification,
request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every such case, at the option of the Default
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 3.10. Additional Debt.
(a) Issuance of Additional Indebtedness. The City will not issue any obligations (other than
the Bonds authorized by Section 2.01 hereof) secured by or payable from the Pledged Funds, or any
portion thereof, or voluntarily create or cause to be created any debt, lien, pledge, assignment,
encumbrance or other charge, in each case, having priority to or being on a parity with the lien
securing the Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution upon the Pledged Funds or any portion thereof.
The City hereby agrees that it will not issue or incur any other debt obligation (other than the
Bonds authorized by Section 2.01 hereof) secured by or payable from a covenant to budget and
appropriate all or a portion of the City legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or secured by or
payable from specific Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, unless the issuance of such debt obligations
complies with Section 3.10(b) hereof, as evidenced by a certificate of the Director of Finance filed with
the Commission on or prior to the issuance or incurrence of such debt. If the Bonds authorized by
Section 2.01 hereof are issued on separate dates, it is not necessary to comply with the provisions of
Section 3.10(b) hereof.
(b) Anti -Dilution Test. The City may incur additional debt (other than the Bonds authorized
by Section 2.01 hereof) that is payable from all or a portion of the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues only if
the total amount of legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues for the prior Fiscal Year were (a) at
least 2.00 times the aggregate Maximum Annual Debt Service of all debt (including all long-term
financial obligations appearing on the City's most recent audited financial statements and the debt
proposed to be incurred) to be paid from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues and not other funds of the City
(collectively, "Debt"), including any Debt payable from one or several specific Non -Ad Valorem
Revenue sources but only to the extent such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues are legally available to pay
debt service on the Bonds, and (b) so long as the Bonds are outstanding and if a Reserve Account
Insurance Policy is in effect, at least 1.00 times the obligation of the City to repay any costs then due
and owing to the Provider of a Reserve Account Insurance Policy.

authentication of the Bonds. The Bond Registrar shall be under no responsibility or duty with respect
to the application of any moneys paid by the Bond Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this

authenticating such Bonds and deliver such Bonds so authenticated; and in case any of the said

the Provider signed by the City Manager or the Director of Finance. Any successor Bond Registrar

provisions of this Section, the Holder of any Bond Outstanding hereunder or any retiring Bond

EXECUTION OF INSTRUMENTS BY BONDHOLDERS
AND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF BONDS
Section 5.01. Proof of Execution of Documents and Ownership.
(a) Any request, direction, consent or other instrument in writing required by this Resolution
to be signed or executed by Bondholders may be in any number of concurrent instruments of similar
tenor and may be signed or executed by such Bondholders in person or by their attorneys or legal
representatives appointed by an instrument in writing. Proof of the execution of any such instrument
and of the ownership of Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Resolution and shall be
conclusive in favor of the Bond Registrar with regard to any action taken by it under such instrument if
made in the following manner:
(1) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument may be
proved by the verification of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power
to take affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the effect that such instrument was subscribed and
sworn to before him, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution. Where such execution is
on behalf of a person other than an individual, such verification shall also constitute sufficient
approval of the authority of the signor thereof.
(2) The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the registration books required to be
maintained pursuant to the provisions of this Resolution.
Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as limiting the Bond Registrar to such proof,
it being intended that the Bond Registrar may accept any other evidence of the matters herein stated
City of Miami Page 26 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
which it may deem sufficient.
(b) If the City shall solicit from the Holders any request, direction, consent or other
instrument in writing required or permitted by this Resolution to be signed or executed by the Holders,
the City may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for determination of Holders entitled to give
each request, direction, consent or other instrument, but the City shall have no obligation to do so. If
such a record date is fixed, such request, direction, consent or other instrument may be given before
or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date
shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Bonds have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, direction, consent or
other instrument, and for that purpose the Bonds shall be computed as of such record date.
(c) Any request or consent of the Holder of any Bond shall bind every future Holder of the
same Bond in respect of anything done in pursuance of such request or consent.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 6.01. Modification or Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in the third
paragraph hereof, no adverse material modification or amendment of this Resolution, or of any
resolution amendatory hereof or supplemental hereto, may be made after the issuance of any Bonds
without the consent in writing of the Holders of more than fifty per centum (50%) in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; provided, however, that no modification or amendment shall
permit a change in the maturity of such Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest thereon, or affect
the promise of the City to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, as the same mature or
become due, from the Pledged Funds or the Non -Ad Valorem Revenues as provided in Section
3.04(a) hereof, or reduce the percentage of Holders of Bonds required above for such modification or
amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the Bonds.
For the purposes of this Section 6.01, so long as the Bond Insurance Policy is in effect and the
Provider has not defaulted in its obligations thereunder, the Provider shall be deemed the sole Holder
of the Bonds.
This Resolution may be amended, changed, modified and altered without the consent of the
Holders of Bonds or the Provider:
(a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this Resolution or supplemental
resolutions or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein which may be defective or
inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein; 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 add to the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the issuance of Bonds under the
provisions of this Resolution, other conditions, limitations and restrictions thereafter to be observed; or
(d) to add to the covenants and agreements of the City in this Resolution other covenants and
agreements thereafter to be observed by the City or to surrender any right or power herein reserved to
or conferred upon the City; or
(e) to qualify the Bonds or any of the Bonds for registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

(h) to make such changes as may be necessary for the Bond Insurance Policy, a Reserve
Account Insurance Policy or a Reserve Account Letter of Credit deposited in the Debt Service Reserve

If at any time the City shall so request the Bond Registrar, the Bond Registrar shall cause a
notice of a proposed supplemental resolution requiring the consent of Bondholders to be mailed,
City of Miami Page 27 of 29 File Id: 11-00441 (Version: 1) Printed On: 5/18/2011
File Number: 11-00441
postage prepaid, to all Holders of Bonds then Outstanding at their addresses as they appear on the
registration books. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental
resolution and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the designated corporate trust office of the
Bond Registrar for inspection by all Bondholders. The Bond Registrar shall not, however, be subject
to any liability to any Bondholder by reason of its failure to mail the notice required by this Section, and
any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental resolution when consented to or
approved as provided in this Section.
Whenever, at any time after the date of the mailing of such notice, the City shall have received
an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the Holders of more than fifty per centum
(50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, which instrument or instruments
shall refer to the proposed supplemental resolutions described in such notice and shall specifically
consent to and approve the adoption thereof, and the City shall file with the City Clerk a certificate
signed by the City Manager that the Holders of such required percentage of Bonds have filed such
consents, the City may adopt such supplemental resolution in substantially such form without liability
or responsibility to any Holder of any Bond, whether or not such Holder shall have consented thereto.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental resolution, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
If the Holders of more than fifty per centum (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
Outstanding at the time of the execution of such supplemental resolution shall have consented to and
approved the adoption thereof as herein provided, no Holder shall have any right to object to the
adoption of such supplemental resolution, or to object to any of the terms and provisions therein
contained, or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the adoption thereof,
or to enjoin or restrain the City from adopting the same or from taking any action pursuant to the
provisions thereof.
Section 6.02. Severabilitv of Invalid Provisions. If any one or more of the covenants,
agreements or provisions of this Resolution should be held contrary to any express 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 separate from the remaining covenants, agreements or provisions,
and shall in no way affect the validity of any of the other provisions of this Resolution or of the Bonds
issued hereunder.

money held by the Bond Registrar for the payment of the principal or redemption price of, or interest

become due and payable (whether at maturity or upon call for redemption), if such money were so
held at such date, or five (5) years after the date of deposit of such money if deposited after such date
when all of the Bonds became due and payable, shall be repaid to the City free from the provisions of
this Resolution, and all liability of the Bond Registrar with respect to such money shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that before the repayment of such money to the City as aforesaid, the City
shall first publish at least once in a financial newspaper or journal published and of general circulation
in New York, New York, a notice, in such form as may be deemed appropriate by the City with respect
to the Bonds so payable and not presented, and with respect to the provisions relating to the
repayment to the City of the money held for the payment thereof.
Section 6.04. Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. In any case where the date of
maturity of interest on or principal of the Bonds or the date fixed for redemption of any Bonds shall be
a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which the Bond Registrar is required, or authorized or not prohibited,
by law (including executive orders) to close and is closed, then payment of such interest, principal or
redemption price, as applicable, need not be paid by the Bond Registrar on such date but may be paid
on the next succeeding business day on which the Bond Registrar is open for business with the same
force and effect as if paid on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall
accrue for the period after such date of maturity.
