Section 2.02. General Representations, Warranties and Pledges of the Lender.
The Lender hereby represents, warrants and agrees that (1) it is a New York limited
liability company authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
obligations hereunder, and such execution and delivery will not constitute a violation of its
articles of organization or its operating agreement, and (2) that it is either an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the
"Securities Act"), or a "qualified institutional buyer" under the Securities Act, as set forth in the
sophisticated lender letter in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated hereby.
Lender is acting solely for its own loan account and not as a fiduciary for the City or in
the capacity of broker, dealer, placement agent, municipal securities underwriter, municipal
advisor or fiduciary. It has not provided, and will not provide, financial, legal (including
securities law), tax, accounting or other advice to or on behalf of the City (including to any
financial advisor or any placement agent engaged by the City) with respect to the structuring,
issuance, sale or delivery of the Note. Lender has no fiduciary duty pursuant to Section 15B of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the City (or any financial advisor or any
placement agent engaged by the City) with respect to the transactions relating to the
structuring, issuance, sale or delivery of the Note and the discussions, undertakings and
procedures leading thereto. Each of the City and its financial advisor has sought and shall seek
and obtain financial, legal (including securities law), tax, accounting and other advice
(including as it relates to structure, timing, terms and similar matters and compliance with legal
requirements applicable to such parties) with respect to the Note from its own financial, legal,
tax and other advisors (and not from the undersigned or its affiliates) to the extent that the City
or its financial advisor desires, should or needs to obtain such advice. The undersigned
expresses no view regarding the legal sufficiency of its representations for purposes of
compliance with any legal requirements applicable to any other party, including but not limited
to the City's financial advisor, or the correctness of any legal interpretation made by counsel to
any other party, including but not limited to counsel to the City's financial advisor, with respect
to any such matters. The transactions between the City and Lender are arm's length,
commercial transactions in which Lender is acting and has acted solely as a principal and for its
own interest and Lender has not made recommendations to the City or any financial advisor
engaged by the City with respect to the transactions relating to the Note.

Section 2.03. Making of Loan.
Pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Lender agrees to make a
loan to the City in an amount equal to the Loan Amount for the purpose of financing the cost of
the Refunding as set forth in the Closing Memorandum dated as of the date hereof.
Section 2.04. Note not to be Indebtedness of the City or State.
The Note, when delivered by the City pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall not
be nor shall constitute a general obligation, a pledge of the faith and credit of, or an
indebtedness of the City, the State or any political subdivision or agency thereof, within the
meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter limitations of indebtedness, but shall be
payable solely from and secured by a parity lien upon and pledge of the Pledged Funds, in the
manner and to the extent provided herein. No Noteholder shall ever have the right to compel
the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the City or taxation in any form on any property
therein to pay the Note or the interest thereon or any prepayment thereof. The Note is a special
and limited obligation payable as to principal and interest from the Pledged Funds in the
manner and to the extent provided herein. 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
parity lien only on the proceeds of the Pledged Revenues, all in the manner and to the extent
provided herein and in the Resolution.
No obligation under this Agreement or the Note shall be or be deemed to be an
obligation of any members of the City Commission or any officer, employee or agent of the City
in his or her individual capacity, and none of such persons executing this Agreement or the
Note shall be liable personally thereon or hereon by reason thereof.
Section 2.05. Security for Note.
(a) The Note shall be secured by and payable from the Pledged Funds. The City
does hereby irrevocably pledge the Pledged Funds to the payment of the Note in accordance
with the provisions hereof and of the Resolution. The pledge of and lien on the Pledged Funds
shall attach at the time of delivery of the Note. The lien on the Pledged Revenues shall be on
parity with and equal and ratable to the lien of the Pledged Revenues on [the Series 2010B
Bonds and] the Series 2018 Note.
(b) If the Pledged Revenues on deposit in the Note Fund are not sufficient to pay
principal and interest on the fifth (5th) day prior to the due date of such payments and other
payments required by this Agreement 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 to the credit of the Note Fund, Non -Ad Valorem Revenues of the City lawfully
available in an amount which is equal to the deficiency of the Annual Debt Service Requirement
with respect to the Note and all other Parity Debt outstanding for the applicable Fiscal Year,
plus an amount sufficient to satisfy the other obligations of the City hereunder and the Note for
10
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 hereunder and under the Note as and when
due, including any delinquent payments, shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually
paid into the appropriate Funds and Accounts, hereunder; 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 hereunder, as
provided for herein. 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 hereunder 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 inhabitants 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 2.06. Payment Pledge.
The City pledges that it shall duly and punctually pay from the Pledged Revenues the
Payments on the Payment Dates and at the place and in the manner provided herein and in the
Note according to the true intent and meaning thereof and all other amounts due under this
Agreement.
Section 2.07. Additional Debt.
The City will not issue any obligations secured by or payable from the Pledged
Revenues, 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
of the Pledged Revenues securing the Note.
11
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City may at any time or from time to time issue
evidence of indebtedness that are payable in whole or in part out of the Pledged Funds if such
obligations to be issued are refunding bonds, that is, delivered in lieu of, or in substitution for,
or to provide for the payment of [Series 2010B Bonds,] Series 2018 Note or the Note (collectively,
"Debt"), if the City shall cause to be delivered a certificate of the Finance Director setting forth
the Total Debt Service Requirement (i) for the Debt then outstanding and (ii) for all Debt to be
immediately outstanding thereafter and stating that the Total Debt Service Requirement
pursuant to (ii) above is not greater than that set forth pursuant to (i) above.
Section 2.08. Covenants of the City.
(a) Upon request, as soon as available, the City will furnish to the Lender, at no cost
to the Lender, a comprehensive annual financial report of the City for such Fiscal Year, which
shall include a balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal Year, audited without scope limitations
by independent certified public accountants of recognized standing selected by the City and
satisfactory to the Lender.
(b) The City will furnish to the Lender its Annual Budget no later than thirty (30)
days from the first day of each Fiscal Year, and forecasts and such other information as the
Lender may require.
(c) The City will not repeal or modify the ordinances, resolutions or agreements
pursuant to which the City is authorized to impose, collect or receive the Pledged Revenues in a
mariner that is likely to reduce any component of the Pledged Revenues, except to obligate a
successor Stadium Operator.
(d) The City shall not use or permit the use of any proceeds of the Note or any other
funds of the City, directly or indirectly, to acquire any securities or obligations, and shall not
use or permit the use of any amounts received by the City with respect to the Note in any
manner, and shall not take or permit to be taken any other action or actions, which would cause
the Note to be a "private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 141 or an "arbitrage
bond" within the meaning of Section 148, or "federally guaranteed" within the meaning of
Section 149(b), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or otherwise cause interest on
the Note to become subject to federal income taxation.
The City shall at all times do and perform all acts and things permitted by law and this
Agreement which are necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest paid on the Note
will be excluded from gross income for purposes of federal income taxes and shall take no
action that would result in such interest not being so excluded.
(e) In accordance with SEC Rule 15c2-12 promulgated pursuant to the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Rule"), the City will comply with any continuing
disclosure undertakings (each, a "Continuing Disclosure Agreement") entered into by the City.
In connection therewith, the City may be required to file with the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board's Electronic Municipal Market Access system, or its successor ("EMMA"),
notice of its incurrence of its obligations with respect to the Note and related documents and
notice of any accommodation, waiver, amendment, modification of terms or other similar
events reflecting financial difficulties in connection with the Note and related documents, in
each case including a full copy thereof or a description of the material terms thereof (each such
12
posting, an "EMMA Posting") and will do so, if required. The City agrees that it shall not file or
submit or permit the filing or submission of any EMMA Posting that includes the following
information relating to the Lender: address and account information of the Lender or any
affiliates, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, names and signatures of officers,
employees and signatories of the Lender or its affiliates.
Section 2.09. Audit and Inspection Rights and Records Retention.
Subject to Lender's compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies
to which Lender is subject, the Lender agrees to provide access to the City or to any of its
duly authorized representatives, to any books, documents, papers, and records of the Lender
which are directly pertinent to this Agreement and the Note, for the purpose of audit,
examination, excerpts, and transcripts which are related to (a) proof of payment, (b)
documentation relating to interest rate adjustments in the event of default, and (c) documents
determined to be public records. Subject to Lender's compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations and policies to which Lender is subject, the City may, at reasonable times, and for a
period of up to three (3) years following the date of final payment by the City to the Lender
under this Agreement, audit and inspect, or cause to be audited and inspected, those books,
documents, papers, and records of the Lender which are related to Lender's performance under
this Agreement. The Lender agrees to maintain any and all such books, documents, papers, and
records at its principal place of business for a period of three (3) years after final payment is
made under this Agreement and all other pending matters are closed.

14
and the Note. The City agrees to pay the legal fees and costs of Note Counsel as costs of
issuance of the Note and the defeasing and redemption of the Refunded Bonds.
Section 3.02. Registration; Assignment and Transfer.
The City shall keep at the office of the Finance Director in the City's records the
registration of the Note and the registration of transfers of the Note as provided in this
Agreement. The transfer of the Note may be registered only upon the books kept for the
registration of the Note and registration of transfer thereof upon surrender thereof to the City
together with an assignment duly executed by the Lender or its attorney or legal representative
in the form of the assignment set forth on the form of the Note attached as Exhibit A to this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Note may be transferred only in whole and not in
part. Except for a transfer following an event of default as described in the following
paragraph, the Note shall not be transferred until the new transferee has received prior written
consent of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and has executed
and provided to the City a "sophisticated lender letter" in substantially the same form and
substance as the "sophisticated lender letter" executed by the Lender in connection with the
issuance of the Note, the form of which is attached hereto and incorporated hereby as Exhibit
B.
Following an event of default pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof, the Lender shall send
notification to the City if it intends to transfer the Note. The written notification shall list the
name and address of the party to whom the Note shall be transferred, the date of such
expected transfer and a statement that the transferee is an "accredited investor" or a "qualified
institutional buyer". Upon receipt of such written notification, the City will promptly review
and perform a search for any conflicts. The City shall notify the Lender as soon as possible but
not later than 30 days of receipt of the Lender's written notification whether the proposed
transferee is a Disqualified Lender. "Disqualified Lender" means, on any date, (a) any Person
that is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the City relating to a claim of at least $50,000 and
was designated by the City as a "Disqualified Lender" by written notice delivered to the
Lender on or prior to October 16, 2019, (b) any other Person that becomes a defendant in a
lawsuit brought by the City relating to a claim of at least $50,000 that has been designated by
the City as a "Disqualified Lender" by written notice to the Lender not less than 30 days
following Lender's notice of the proposed transfer of the Note, and (c) any other Person that
becomes a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the City relating to a claim of at least $50,000 and was
designated by the City as a "Disqualified Lender" by written notice to the Lender not less than
30 days following Lender's notice of the proposed transfer of the Note; provided that
"Disqualified Lender" shall exclude any Person that is no longer a defendant in any such
lawsuit. The City agrees to promptly notify the Lender of any such Person no longer being a
"Disqualified Lender". If the City fails to notify the Lender that the proposed transferee is a
Disqualified Lender within 30 days of receipt of the Lender's written notification, the Lender
may freely transfer the Note to such transferee.
In the case of any such registration of transfer, the City shall execute and deliver in
exchange for the Note a new Note registered in the name of the transferee. In all cases in which
the Note shall be transferred hereunder, the City shall execute and deliver at the earliest
practicable time a new Note in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The City
15
may make a charge for every such registration of transfer of a Note sufficient to reimburse it
for any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid to an entity other than the City
with respect to such registration of transfer, but no other charge shall be made for registering
the transfer hereinabove granted. The Note shall be issued in fully registered form and shall be
payable in any lawful coin or currency of the United States.
The registration of transfer of the Note on the registration books of the City shall be
deemed to effect a transfer of the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement to
the transferee. Thereafter, such transferee shall be deemed to be the Lender under this
Agreement and shall be bound by all provisions of this Agreement that are binding upon the
Lender. The City and the transferor shall execute and record such instruments and take such
other actions as the City and such transferee may reasonably request in order to confirm that
such transferee has succeeded to the capacity of Lender under this Agreement and the Note.
The registered owner of the Note is hereby granted power to transfer absolute title
thereof by assignment thereof to a bona fide purchaser for value (present or antecedent)
without notice of prior defenses or equities or claims of ownership enforceable against such
owner's assignor or any person in the chain of title and before the maturity of the Note;
provided, however, that the Note may be transferred only in whole and not in part and only to
an "accredited investor" or "qualified institutional buyer" which has received prior written
consent of the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which has
executed and provided the required "sophisticated lender letter" to the City prior to such
transfer. Any transferee by acceptance of the Note shall be deemed to certify that it is an
"accredited investor" or a "qualified institutional buyer." Every prior registered owner of the
Note shall be deemed to have waived and renounced all of such owner's equities or rights
therein in favor of every such bona fide purchaser, and every such bona fide purchaser shall
acquire absolute title thereto and to all rights represented thereby.
In the event any Note is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the City shall execute a
new Note of like date and denomination as that mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, provided
that, in the case of any mutilated Note, such mutilated Note shall first be surrendered to the
City, and in the case of any lost, stolen, or destroyed Note, there first shall be furnished to the
City evidence of such loss, theft or destruction together with an indemnity satisfactory to the
City's Risk Management Director, the City Attorney and Note Counsel.
Section 3.03. Optional Prepayment.
The Note shall not be subject to prepayment at the option of the City prior to July 1,
2029. On or after July 1, 2029, the Note shall be subject to prepayments at the option of the City
in whole on any Scheduled Interest Payment Date at the prepayment price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment.
The Note may be prepaid in part on any Scheduled Interest Payment Date, subject to the
following conditions: (i) once per calendar year; (ii) in a minimum amount of $500,000; (iii) in a
maximum amount of $10,000,000; and (iv) provided that any such prepayment is applied to
outstanding Note principal in inverse order of maturity.
16
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City has a one-time option to prepay the Note on a
Scheduled Interest Payment Date, from excess investment earnings of the funds deposited into
the escrow account under the Escrow Deposit Agreement, at par plus accrued interest. The
Escrow Agent, on behalf of the City, shall maintain records of, and provide the Lender with
written evidence of the excess investment earnings.
Such prepayment shall be made in immediately available funds.
Section 3.04. Note Fund.
(a) The City shall establish in the accounting system of the City a separate
accounting line item designation for the "Note Fund — Taxable Special Obligation Parking
Revenue Refunding Note, Series 2019 (Marlins Stadium Parking Facilities Project)" (the "Note
Fund") and therein a principal account (the "Principal Account") and an interest account (the
"Interest Account").
(b) On the fifth (5th) day preceding each Interest Payment and continuing thereafter
so long as the Note is outstanding, the City shall deposit to the credit of the Interest Account of
the Note Fund, from Pledged Funds, amounts which, together with funds on deposit therein,
will be sufficient to pay the interest payable on the Notes on the immediately succeeding
Interest Payment Date.
(c) On the fifth (5th) day preceding each Principal Payment and continuing
thereafter so long as the Note is outstanding, after deposit to the Interest Account pursuant to
paragraph (b) above, the City shall deposit to the credit of the Principal Account of the Note
Fund, from Pledged Funds, amounts which, together with funds on deposit therein, will be
sufficient to pay the principal payable on the Notes on the immediately succeeding Principal
Payment Date.
Moneys on deposit in the accounts of the Note Fund shall be used solely for the
payment of the principal and interest on the Notes.
The Note Fund established hereunder and all accounts therein shall constitute trust
funds for the purpose herein provided, shall be delivered to and held by the Finance Director
(or an Authorized Depository designated by the Finance Director), in each case who shall act as
trustee of such funds for the purposes hereof, and shall at all times be kept separate and distinct
from all other funds of the City and used only as herein provided. The designation and
establishment of the various funds and accounts in and by this Agreement shall not be
construed to require the establishment of any completely independent, self -balancing funds as
such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended
solely to constitute an earmarking of certain revenues of the City for certain purposes and to
establish certain priorities for application of such revenues and assets as herein provided.
17
Moneys held in the Note Fund and the funds and accounts under this Agreement, are
Pledged Funds and shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the holders and registered
owners of the Notes as herein provided.
(d) On each Interest Payment Date and each Principal Payment Date, the City shall
transfer from the applicable account of the Note Fund to the Noteholder sufficient moneys to
pay interest and principal then due and payable on such Interest Payment Date or Principal
Payment Date with respect to the Note.
(e) Moneys held for the credit of the Note Fund may be invested by the City in
Authorized Investments. Such investments or reinvestments shall mature or become available
not later than the respective dates, as estimated by the City, that the moneys held for the credit
of the Note Fund will be needed to pay principal or interest on the Note when due.
All funds or other property which at any time may be owned or held in the possession
of or deposited with the City or an Authorized Depository designated by the City for
application in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be held in
trust and applied only in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall not be
subject to lien or attachment by any creditor of the City.

Section 5.01. Events of Default.
An "Event of Default" shall be deemed to have occurred under this Agreement if:
(a) The City shall fail to make payment of principal or interest then due on the Note
after five (5) days after the due date; or
(b) The City shall fail to make any other payments due hereunder when due; or

on its part to be observed or performed by it in any material respect under this Agreement or

five (45) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied has
been given to the City by the Noteholder; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable
judgment of the Noteholder, the City is proceeding to take such action to cure such failure
which, if prosecuted with due diligence, cannot be completed within a period of forty-five (45)
days, then such period shall be increased to such extent as shall be necessary to enable the City
to diligently complete such curative action but in no event in excess of ninety (90) days from
the date of such written notice without consent of the Lender, whose consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; or
(d) There shall occur the dissolution or liquidation of the City, or the filing by the
City of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or the commission by the City of any act of
bankruptcy, or adjudication of the City as a bankrupt, or assignment by the City for the benefit
of its creditors, or appointment of a receiver for the City, or the entry by the City into an
agreement of composition with its creditors, or the approval by a court of competent
jurisdiction of a petition applicable to the City in any proceeding for its reorganization
instituted under the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any
similar act in any jurisdiction which may now be in effect or hereafter amended; or
(e) Any representation or warranty made by the City in connection with the

Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) shall be entered or filed against the City and remain unvacated,
unpaid, unbonded or unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days.
Section 5.02. Remedies.
If any such Event of Default shall have occurred, the Noteholder may seek enforcement
of all remedies available to it under law. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
21
continuing, the Noteholder shall not have the right to declare the Note to be immediately due
and payable.
Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default any interest on the Note
which shall remain unpaid past the scheduled Payment Dates, shall bear interest at the Default
Rate until all amounts then due under the Note are paid in full.
In the enforcement of any remedy against the City under this Agreement or on the
Note, the Lender 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 Agreement or on the Note,
without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Lender or of the Noteholders, and to
recover and enforce any judgment or decree against the City, but solely as provided herein and
in the Note, for any portion of such amounts remaining unpaid and interest as above provided,
and to collect in any manner provided by law, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.
Further, in the event of default on the Series 2018 Note, the holder of the Series 2018
Note shall have the right to exercise their remedies under the Loan Agreement between the
City and Branch Banking and Trust Company dated as of March 22, 2018 and the Series 2018
Note. Such rights of the holder of the Series 2018 Note will only be applicable under an event
of default of the Series 2018 Note, and not pursuant to any default under the Series 2019 Note.
No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any right or power arising upon the
happening of any breach or event of default shall impair any such right or power or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such breach or event of default or any acquiescence therein,
and every power and remedy given to the Lender may be exercised from time to time and as
often as shall be deemed expedient by the Lender in its sole discretion. No course of dealing
and no delay or failure of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this
Agreement, the Resolution or the Note shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or
exercise of any right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies of the Lender under this Agreement, the Resolution or the
Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Lender would
otherwise have under this Agreement, the Resolution or the Note, at law or in equity.

Form of Sophisticated Lender's Letter
LENDER CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that (the "Lender") has not required the City of Miami,
Florida (the "Issuer") to deliver any offering document and has conducted its own investigation,
to the extent it deems satisfactory or sufficient, into matters relating to business affairs or
conditions (either financial or otherwise) of the Issuer in connection with the its $
Taxable Special Obligation Parking Revenue Refunding Note, Series 2019 (Marlins Stadium
Parking Facilities Project) (the "Note"), and no inference should be drawn that the Lender, in
the acceptance of said Note, is relying on Note Counsel or the City Attorney as to any such
matters other than the legal opinions rendered by Note Counsel and by the City Attorney. Any
capitalized undefined terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth
in Resolution No. R-19- adopted by the City Commission of the Issuer on October 10, 2019
and the Loan Agreement between the Issuer and the Lender dated , 2019 (the "Loan
Agreement").
The Lender certifies as follows:
1. Lender has full power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted,
deliver this Certificate and make the representations and certifications contained herein.
2. Lender is a lender that regularly extends credit to state and local governments by
making loans and repayment obligations which are evidenced by obligations such as the Note;
has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that make it capable of
evaluating the Issuer, the Note and the risks associated with the extension of credit evidenced
by the Note; has the ability to bear the economic risk of extending the credit evidenced by the
Note; and is a limited liability company controlled by a bank, and engaged in the primary
business of extending credit and making loans to state and local governments and non-profit
entities and has total assets in excess of $1 billion. Lender is not acting as a broker, dealer,
municipal securities underwriter, municipal advisor or fiduciary in connection with its
extension of credit evidenced by the Note.
3. Lender is aware that the extension of credit involves various risks, that the Note
is not a general obligation of the Issuer or payable from ad valorem tax revenues, and that the
payment of the Note is secured solely from the sources described in the Loan Agreement.
4. Lender has conducted its own investigation of the financial condition of the
Borrower, the purpose for which the Note is being executed and delivered and of the security
for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Note, and has obtained such information
regarding the Note and the Issuer and its operations, financial condition and financial prospects
B-1
as Lender deems necessary to make an informed lending decision with respect to its extension
of credit evidenced by the Note.
5. Lender is extending credit to the Issuer evidenced by the Note as a vehicle for
making a commercial loan for its own loan account, with the present intention of holding the
Note to maturity or earlier prepayment and not with a present view towards a resale or other
distribution to the public., provided that Lender retains the right at any time to dispose of the
Note or any interest therein or portion thereof, but agrees that any such sale, transfer or
distribution by Lender shall be made in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of
the Note and related documents. Lender is not acting as a broker or other intermediary. [We
understand that, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, the Note may not be
transferred in a denomination less than the outstanding principal amount of the Note.]
6. Lender acknowledges that the Note (a) has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has not been registered or otherwise qualified for sale
under the securities laws of any state and that neither the Issuer, Note Counsel nor the City
Attorney shall have any obligation to effect any such registration or qualification, (b) will not be
listed on any securities exchange and (c) there is no established market for the Note and that
none is likely to develop. Lender understands and acknowledges that (i) its extension of credit
evidenced by the Note is not intended to be subject to the requirements of Rule 15c2-12
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (ii) in connection with
its extension of credit evidenced by the Note, the Issuer has not prepared or caused to be
prepared, any official statement, private placement memorandum or other offering document.
7. Lender is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and Regulation D thereunder, or a "qualified institutional buyer" (as defined
under Rule 144A under the Securities Act).
8. Lender is acting solely for its own loan account and not as a fiduciary for the
Issuer or in the capacity of broker, dealer, placement agent, municipal securities underwriter,
municipal advisor or fiduciary. It has not provided, and will not provide, financial, legal
(including securities law), tax, accounting or other advice to or on behalf of the Issuer (including
to any financial advisor or any placement agent engaged by the Issuer) with respect to the
structuring, issuance, sale or delivery of the Note. Lender has no fiduciary duty pursuant to
Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the Issuer (or any financial
advisor or any placement agent engaged by the Issuer) with respect to the transactions relating
to the structuring, issuance, sale or delivery of the Note and the discussions, undertakings and
procedures leading thereto. Each of the Issuer and its financial advisor has sought and shall
seek and obtain financial, legal (including securities law), tax, accounting and other advice
(including as it relates to structure, timing, terms and similar matters and compliance with legal
requirements applicable to such parties) with respect to the Note from its own financial, legal,
tax and other advisors (and not from the undersigned or its affiliates) to the extent that the
Issuer or its financial advisor desires, should or needs to obtain such advice. The undersigned
expresses no view regarding the legal sufficiency of its representations for purposes of
B-2
compliance with any legal requirements applicable to any other party, including but not limited
to the Issuer's financial advisor, or the correctness of any legal interpretation made by counsel
to any other party, including but not limited to counsel to the Issuer's financial advisor, with
respect to any such matters. The transactions between the Issuer and Lender are arm's length,
commercial transactions in which Lender is acting and has acted solely as a principal and for its
own interest and Lender has not made recommendations to the Issuer or any financial advisor
engaged by the Issuer with respect to the transactions relating to the Note.
