are attached to this Resolution as Composite Exhibit "B".
Section 10. Continuing Disclosure Covenants. The City shall undertake such "best
practices" as provided in the Loan Agreement for continuing disclosures.
Section 11. Security; Note Not General Indebtedness.
(a) Pledged Revenues. The Note shall not be deemed to constitute a general
obligation or a pledge of the faith and credit of the City, the State, or any other political
subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional, legislative, or charter provision or
limitation, but shall be payable solely from and secured solely by a lien upon and a pledge of the
Pledged Funds in the manner and to the extent herein provided. No holder of the Note shall
ever have the right, directly or indirectly, to require or compel the exercise of the ad valorem
taxing power of the City, the State, or any other political subdivision of the State or taxation in
any form on any real or personal property to pay the Note or the interest thereon, nor shall any
holder of the Note be entitled to payment of such principal of and interest from any other funds
of the City other than the proceeds of the Pledged Funds, all in the manner and to the extent
herein provided. The Note and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien
upon any real or personal property of the City but shall constitute a lien only on the proceeds of
the Pledged Funds, all in the manner and to the extent provided herein.
Until payment has been provided as herein permitted, the payment of the principal of and
interest on the Note shall be secured forthwith by a parity lien on the proceeds derived from the
Convention Development Tax, the Parking Revenues, and the Parking Surcharge portions of
the Pledged Funds and the City does hereby irrevocably pledge the same to payment of the
principal thereof and interest thereon when due.
(b) Covenant to Budget and Appropriate. If the Pledged Revenues are not sufficient to
pay principal and interest on the Note when due, the City hereby covenants and agrees to the
extent permitted by and in accordance with applicable law and budgetary processes, to prepare,
approve, and appropriate in its Annual Budget for each Fiscal Year, by amendment if necessary,
and to deposit for the benefit of the Note Non -Ad Valorem Revenues of the City lawfully available
in an amount which is equal to the deficiency of the Note and all other Parity Debt outstanding for
the applicable Fiscal Year. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the City to budget and
appropriate sufficient amounts of legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative
and shall continue until such legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues in amounts sufficient to
make all required payments under the Loan Agreement and the Note, as and when due, including
any delinquent payments, shall have been budgeted, appropriated, and actually paid into the
appropriate Funds and Accounts under the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that such
covenant shall not constitute a lien, either legal or equitable, on any of the City's legally available
Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other revenues, nor shall it preclude the City from pledging in the
future any of its legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other revenues to other obligations,
nor shall it give the Lender a prior claim on the legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all obligations of the City hereunder shall be
secured only by the legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues actually budgeted and
appropriated and deposited into the Funds and Accounts created under the Loan Agreement. The
City may not expend moneys not appropriated or in excess of its current budgeted revenues. The
obligation of the City to budget, appropriate, and make payments under the Loan Agreement and
the Note from its legally available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject to the availability of legally
available Non -Ad Valorem Revenues after satisfying funding requirements for obligations having
an express lien on or pledge of such revenues and after satisfying funding requirements for
essential governmental services of the City. 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, 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 residents of the City or which are legally mandated by applicable law. 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.
Section 12. Sale of Note to Defease, Refund, and to Redeem the Outstanding
Refunded Bonds. The Note is hereby sold and awarded to the Lender at the purchase price
equal to the par amount thereof and of not to exceed Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000.00)
