The Underwriter hereby agrees and makes the following representations and warranties to
the Agency: (a) the Underwriter is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and qualified to conduct business in the State
of Florida, (b) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Underwriter
and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Agency, is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Underwriter enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as the
enforceability of this Agreement may be limited by bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors'
rights generally and except that equitable remedies lie in the discretion of the court and may not
be available, (c) the Underwriter is licensed by and registered with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority as a broker dealer and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the
"MSRB") as a municipal securities dealer, (d) neither the Underwriter nor any "person" or

represents that it has been duly authorized to execute this Agreement.
2. Public Offering. The Underwriter agrees to make an initial public offering of all of
the Bonds at prices not to exceed the public offering prices set forth on the inside front cover of
the Official Statement (the "Offering Prices") and may subsequently change such Offering Prices
without any requirement of prior notice. The Underwriter may offer and sell Bonds to certain
dealers and others at prices lower than the Offering Prices to the extent allowed by the Code
(defined herein).

3. Establishment of Issue Price.
(a) The Underwriter, agrees to assist the Agency in establishing the issue price of the
Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the Agency at Closing an "issue price" or similar certificate,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, together with the supporting pricing wires
or equivalent communications, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the
reasonable judgment of the Underwriter, the Agency, the Agency's Financial Advisor, and Bond
Counsel, to accurately reflect, as applicable, the sales price or prices or the initial offering price or
prices to the public of the Bonds.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule I to Exhibit A attached hereto, the Agency
will treat the first price at which 10% of each maturity of the Bonds (the "10% test") is sold to the
public as the issue price of that maturity. At or promptly after the execution of this Agreement, the
Underwriter shall report to the Agency the price or prices at which the Underwriter has sold to the
public each maturity of Bonds. If at that time the 10% test has not been satisfied as to any maturity
of the Bonds, the Underwriter agrees to promptly report to the Agency the prices at which Bonds
of that maturity have been sold by the Underwriter to the public. That reporting obligation shall
continue, whether or not Closing has occurred, until either (i) all Bonds of that maturity have been
sold or (ii) the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided that, the
Underwriter's reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals
or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter, the Agency or Bond Counsel. For purposes of this
Section, if Bonds mature on the same date but have different interest rates, each separate CUSIP
number within that maturity will be treated as a separate maturity of the Bonds.
(c) If Exhibit A includes Schedule I, the Underwriter confirms that the Underwriter has
offered the Bonds to the public on or before the date of this Agreement at the offering price or
prices (the "initial offering price"), or at the corresponding yield or yields, set forth in Schedule I
to Exhibit A attached hereto, except as otherwise set forth therein. Schedule I, should it exist, also
sets forth, as of the date of this Agreement, the maturities, if any, of the Bonds for which the 10%
test has not been satisfied and for which the Agency and the Underwriter agrees that the restrictions
set forth in the next sentence shall apply, which will allow the Agency to treat the initial offering
price to the public of each such maturity as of the sale date as the issue price of that maturity (the
"hold -the -offering -price rule"). So long as the hold -the -offering -price rule remains applicable to
any maturity of the Bonds, the Underwriter will neither offer nor sell unsold Bonds of that maturity
to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the public during the period
(the "Holding Period") starting on the sale date and ending on the earlier of the following:
(1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date; or
(2) the date on which the Underwriter has sold at least 10% of that maturity of
the Bonds to the public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the
public.
The Underwriter will advise the Agency promptly after the close of the fifth (5th) business
day after the sale date whether it has sold 10% of that maturity of the Bonds to the public at a price
that is no higher than the initial offering price to the public.

(d) The Underwriter confirms that:
(1) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each
third -party distribution agreement (to which the Underwriter is a party) relating to the
initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or
will contain language obligating each Underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the
selling group and each broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution
agreement, as applicable: (A)(i) to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold
Bonds of each maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until
either all Bonds of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the
Underwriter that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity, provided
that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at reasonable periodic intervals
or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter, and (ii) to comply with the hold -the -offering -
price rule, if applicable, if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter and as set forth
in the related pricing wires, and (B) to promptly notify the Underwriter of any sales of
Bonds that, to its knowledge, are made to a purchaser who is a related party to an
underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such term being
used as defined below), (C) to acknowledge that, unless otherwise advised by the
Underwriter, dealer or broker -dealer, the Underwriter shall assume that each order
submitted by the Underwriter, dealer or broker -dealer is a sale to the public.
(2) any agreement among underwriters or selling group agreement relating to
the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains
or will contain language obligating each Underwriter or dealer that is a party to a third -
party distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds
to the public to require each broker -dealer that is a party to such third -party distribution
agreement to (A) report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each
maturity allocated to it, whether or not the Closing Date has occurred, until either all Bonds
of that maturity allocated to it have been sold or it is notified by the Underwriter or such
other underwriter or dealer that the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that
maturity, provided that, the reporting obligation after the Closing Date may be at
reasonable periodic intervals or otherwise upon request of the Underwriter or such other
underwriter or dealer, and (B) comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable,
if and for so long as directed by the Underwriter or such other underwriter or dealer as set
forth in the related pricing wires.
(e) The Agency acknowledges that, in making the representations set forth in this
section, the Underwriter will rely on (i) in the event a selling group has been created in connection
with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, the agreement of each dealer who is a member of
the selling group to comply with the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds,
including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if
applicable to the Bonds, as set forth in a selling group agreement and the related pricing wires, and
(ii) in the event that the Underwriter or dealer who is a member of the selling group is a party to a
third -party distribution agreement was employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds
to the public, the agreement of each broker -dealer that is a party to such agreement to comply with
the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its
agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, as set forth
4
in the third -party distribution agreement and the related pricing wires. The Agency further
acknowledges that the Underwriter shall be solely liable for its failure to comply with its agreement
regarding the requirements for establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited
to, its agreement to comply with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds, and
that the Underwriter shall not be liable for the failure of any other underwriter or dealer who is a
member of a selling group, or of any broker -dealer that is a party to a third -party distribution
agreement, to comply with its corresponding agreement to comply with the requirements for
establishing the issue price of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, its agreement to comply
with the hold -the -offering -price rule, if applicable to the Bonds.
(f) The Underwriter acknowledges that sales of any Bonds to any person that is a
related party to an underwriter participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (each such

party to an underwriter;
