purpose of, together with other available moneys, (i) refinancing certain outstanding loan
obligations of the City with Sunshine State, as described herein, (ii) funding a deposit to the
applicable subaccount of the Debt Service Reserve Account or paying the premium for a
Reserve Account Insurance Policy for the Series 2011A Bonds and (iii) paying certain costs of

SECTION 1,02. Authority for this Resolution. This Resolution is adopted
pursuant to the provisions of the Act.
SECTION 1.03. Findings. It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared:
(a) The recitals to this Resolution are incorporated herein as findings.
(b) The issuance of the Bonds to refinance the Note and the Refunded Loans with
the proceeds thereof and any other available moneys will serve a valid public and municipal
purpose in accordance with the Act.
(c) The principal of and interest on the Bonds and all required sinking fund, reserve

(d) in accordance with Section 218.385(1), Florida Statutes, as amended, the
Commission hereby finds, determines and declares, based upon the advice of the Financial
Advisor, that a 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.
SECTION 1.04. Resolution Constitutes Contract. In consideration of the
acceptance of the Bonds authorized to be issued hereunder by those who shall own the same
from time to time, this Resolution shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between
the City and such Bondholders, and the covenants and agreements herein set forth to be
performed by the City shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the owners of any
and all of such Bonds, all of which shall be of equal rank and without preference, priority, or
distinction of any of the Bonds over any other thereof except as expressly provided therein and
herein.

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,

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.

temporary Bonds for which no payment or only partial payment has been provided, the Bond

SECTION 3.04. Covenants of the City. The City hereby covenants and agrees
with the holders of any and all of the Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution as follows:
(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 Annual 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 Reserve Account Letter of
Credit and 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 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 statedherein 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.
City of Miami Page 20 of 36 File Id: 11-00441 (Version 2) Printed On; 7/14/2011
File Number: 11-00441 Enactment Nunmber:R-11-0228
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 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
City of Miami Page 21 of 36 File Id: 11-00441 (Version 2) Printed On: 7/14/2011
Fife Number: 11-00441 Enactment Nunmber:R-11-0228
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 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
City of Miami
Page 22 of 36
File Id: 11-00441 (Version 2) Printed On: 7/14/2011
Pile Number: 11-00441 Enactment Nunmber:R-11-0228
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 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
City of Miami Page 23 of 36 Fife Id: 11-00441 (Version 2) Printed On: 7/14/2011
File Number: 11-00441 Enactment Nunmber:R-11-0228
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 3.04(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 3.04(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

Fife Number: 11-00441 Enactment Nunmber:R-11-0228
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 certai►h 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 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 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:

(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

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 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 rnore 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

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 herein 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,

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 by the Default 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

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:

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 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.
