of the Redevelopment Area (as defined below) for the CRA Contribution (as defined below) to
fund an annual grant to the City to be pledged revenues for debt service necessary to underwrite
the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds (as hereinafter defined) for the Project Improvements (as

Property Appraiser's tax rolls in an amount not less than One Hundred Fifty Million and No/100
Dollars ($150,000,000.00) (collectively, "Bond Issuance Conditions"). Within twelve (12)
months of the City and the CRA's receipt of written notice from SFRTA of the satisfaction of the

principal amount necessary to produce Seventeen Million Five Hundred Twenty -Eight Thousand
Forty -Nine and No/100 Dollars ($17,528,049.00) in net proceeds after payment of costs of
issuance ("Funding Amount"). The Special Purpose Improvement Bonds shall be supported
solely by a pledge by the CRA to the City of the tax increment revenues actually received by the
CRA ("Pledged Revenues") derived solely from the Project, excluding land value, assessed under
the tax folios number listed on Exhibit "G" attached hereto and made a part hereof ("Designated
Portions of the Redevelopment Area"), as such folio numbers may be adjusted from time to
time, after deducting therefrom: (a) the payments the CRA is required to make to the City and the
County under the terms of the Interlocal Agreement between the City, the County, the CRA and
the Omni CRA dated as of December 31, 2007 ("Global Agreement"); (b) allocation of
administrative charges imposed by the County and the City (but not administrative charges
associated with the operation of the CRA); (c) all allocable charges and/or payments to or for the

the CRA is required to make, if any, with respect to the loan ("Gran Central Loan") evidenced
by that Loan Agreement dated January 20, 1988 ("Gran Central Loan Agreement") by and
between Gran Central Corporation, a Florida corporation and the City.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such time that the Pledged Revenues derived
from the Designated Portion of the Redevelopment Area generate a sufficient CRA Contribution,
as hereinafter defined, to provide the debt service coverage ratio required in connection with the
marketing and sale of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, the Pledged Revenues shall be
based upon the tax increment revenues actually received by the CRA from the entire
Redevelopment Area after deducting: (a) the payments the CRA is required to make to the City
and County under the Global Agreement; (b) allocation of administrative charges imposed by the
County and the City (but not administrative charges associated with the operation of the CRA); (c)
all allocable charges and/or payments to or for the benefit of the Children's Trust; (d) adjustment
to the assessed value made by the City and/or the County as a result of challenges made to the
assessed value; (e) debt service payments the CRA is required to make with respect to any
outstanding bonds previously issued by the CRA; (f) grant payments to be made by the CRA to
the City with respect to Gibson Park; (g) grant payments to be made by the CRA to "Mama Hattie"
as required by the Global Agreement, if any; (h) grant payments to be made in connection with
Town Park community, if any; (i) payments to be made to P&G Investors, LLC in connection with
the Convention Center Economic Incentive Agreement, if any; (j) any payments required to be
made by the CRA under the Miami World Center Economic Incentive Agreement, if any; and (k)
all payments the City and/or the CRA are required to make, if any, with respect to the Gran Central
12
w Jf ''‘-,
Loan evidenced by the Gran Central Loan Agreement (collectively, the "Existing CRA
Obligations").
The CRA's annual contribution of the Pledged Revenues ("CRA Contribution")
shall be limited to the amount of the Pledged Revenues actually received by the CRA which
amount shall not exceed the total amount necessary to pay annual principal and interest costs on
the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds through maturity. SFRTA and the City acknowledge that
the Pledged Revenues will be the only revenues of the CRA utilized to repay the Special Purpose
Improvement Bonds. SFRTA acknowledges that the CRA has provided SFRTA access to its
books and records with respect to the existing tax increment revenues currently derived from the
Redevelopment Area and the information regarding the Existing CRA Obligations to enable
SFRTA to make its own independent determination as to whether upon completion of the Miami
Central Station there will be sufficient tax increment revenues to underwrite the anticipated annual
debt service on the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds when issued to provide the Funding
Amount. The CRA covenants to the City and SFRTA that it will not further encumber or pledge
the tax increment revenues generated from the Redevelopment Area prior to the issuance of the
Special Purpose Improvement Bonds.
The Special Purpose Improvement Bonds shall be non -recourse obligations of the
City and the CRA supported solely by the Pledged Revenues. The Special Purpose Improvement
Bonds and the indebtedness represented thereby shall be limited obligations of the City secured
solely by the Pledged Revenues in the manner and to the extent provided for in this Agreement
and shall not be deemed to constitute a general or moral indebtedness or pledge of the full faith
and credit of the City, the CRA, the County, the State of Florida or any other political subdivision
thereof within the meaning of any constitutional, legislative or charter provision or limitation.
13
m oA\--\
Neither the City, the CRA, the County, the State of Florida, nor any other political subdivision of
thereof shall be compelled to levy any additional taxes for payment of the Special Purpose
Improvement Bonds.
SFRTA, the City and the CRA acknowledge and agree that if for any reason at or
prior to the issuance of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, the City Manager and the City's
financial advisor determine that the Pledged Revenues are not sufficient to market and sell Special
Purpose Improvement Bonds, on commercially available terms and in a principal amount resulting
in net proceeds equivalent to the Funding Amount, then SFRTA, in its sole discretion, may elect
to extend the issuance date of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, for a period of not more
than thirty-six (36) months. In the event SFRTA elects not to defer the City's issuance of the
Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, then SFRTA may: (i) elect to terminate this Agreement in
which event this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and the parties released from
all obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) agree to a reduction to the principal amount of the
Special Purpose Improvement Bonds to an amount determined by the City's financial advisor and
the City Manager to be appropriate to procure the sale of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds,
on commercially available terms which generate net proceeds in an amount nearest to the Funding
Amount. The obligation of the City to pay to SFRTA the net proceeds of the Special Purpose
Improvement Bonds pursuant to this Agreement to reimburse SFRTA for the costs incurred by
SFRTA to pay for Eligible Costs of the Project Improvements shall be limited to the net proceeds
of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds actually issued by the City (excluding cost of issuance
thereof) and if the amount of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds is reduced, the payments to
SFRTA under this Agreement shall also be reduced.
14
k-lo r\'\
Upon the satisfaction of the Bond Issuance Conditions, SFRTA shall provide to the
City and the CRA any and all documents the City and the CRA may reasonably request to establish
the actual amount of the Eligible Costs incurred by SFRTA in connection with the Project
Improvements and for required continuing compliance for the Special Purpose Improvement
Bonds. Upon approval by the City and the CRA of the actual amount of the Eligible Costs incurred
by SFRTA in connection with the Project Improvements and for required continuing compliance
for the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, the City shall pay to SFRTA the approved amount
of the Eligible Costs incurred by SFRTA in connection with the Project Improvements up to the
lesser of (a) the amount of the approved Eligible Improvements; or (b) the net proceeds of the
Special Purpose Improvement Bonds.
The CRA shall make the CRA Contribution annually to the City to pay the annual
debt service on the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds up to the annual amount of the Pledged
Revenues. The obligation of the CRA to make annual CRA Contribution to the City to pay debt
service on the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds up to the annual amount of the Pledged
Revenues will continue until the earlier to occur of (a) the payment in full of the Special Purpose
Improvement Bonds; or (b) the expiration of the life of the CRA which is currently scheduled to
occur on March 31, 2030, as same may be extended.
The CRA shall only be obligated to fund the CRA Contribution to the extent of the
Pledged Revenues and, except for the Pledged Revenues, the CRA is not obligated to utilize any
other revenues to fund the CRA Contribution or otherwise pay debt service in connection with the
Special Purpose Improvement Bonds. The CRA represents to SFRTA that based upon the existing
TIF Revenues derived from the Redevelopment Area and the new TIF Revenues SFRTA and AAF
15
anticipate will be generated from the Project, the anticipated Pledged Revenues would appear to
be sufficient to support the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds when issued.
SFRTA acknowledges, warrants, represents, and covenants that (a) it shall use the
proceeds of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds only to reimburse Eligible Costs incurred by
SFRTA in connection with the construction of the Project Improvements within the
Redevelopment Area; and (b) it has reviewed the projections of deductions from Pledged
Revenues, the projections of the Pledged Revenues prepared by AAF that are anticipated to be
generated from the Project, which deductions and projections were not prepared or approved by
the City or the CRA and SFRTA acknowledges that it is relying upon the deductions and
projections prepared by AAF in entering into this Agreement without representation or warranty
on the part of the City and the CRA as to their accuracy.
3.3 Assistance with Bond Validation, Notices, and Approvals. SFRTA, the
CRA, and the City each acknowledge and agree that any Special Purpose Improvement Bonds to
be issued by the City will be subject to obtaining an affirmative bond validation final order through
the courts and processes governed by the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida (collectively,
"Bond Validation"). Following the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City agrees to use all
reasonable efforts to promptly proceed to City Commission to obtain authority to file a complaint
for validation of the issuance of the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, the pledge of the Pledged
Revenues by the CRA and the payment by the CRA of the CRA Contribution to the City to pay
debt service on the Special Purpose Improvement Bonds, and the use of the proceeds of the Special
Purpose Improvement Bonds, and the use of the proceeds of the Special Purpose Improvement
Bonds to reimburse Eligible Costs incurred by SFRTA in connection with the construction of the
Project Improvements. In connection with the Bond Validation, the Board of Commissioners of
16
y.1\i')\\
the CRA, the City Commission, the County Commission, and/or SFRTA Governing Board, as and
if applicable, may be required to provide public notices and budgetary and bond authorization

Once in a Lifetime Opportunity
The expansion of Tri-Rail commuter service onto the Florida East Coast
Railway (FECR) corridor has been sought for decades. These efforts have
evolved into the proposed Tri-Rail Coastal Link project, which would
integrate the existing Tri-Rai] service with new service on the FECR corridor
between downtown Miami and Jupiter. While the ultimate project is still
being studied and pursued, there is an exciting opportunity to extend current
Tri-Rail service to downtown Miami.
Fast -Track Implementation
"MiamiCentral" will serve as downtown Miami's multimod-al hub, providing
connections to All Aboard Florida (AAF), Tri-Rail, the existing Miami -Dade
County bus system, Metrorail, and Metromover. The imminent construction
of AAF's world -class MiamiCentral station has led to this exciting
opportunity. Commuter service could quickly begin, with a day one ridership
estimate of 2,000 per day.
Project Highlights
• Fast implementation with service as early as
December 2017
• Opportunity to provide 26 direct trains per weekday
from all points north on the existing Tri-Rail system
• Smart investment in Downtown Miami's
transportation and economic future
• Public funds leverage private investment, free land
and free rail road access, but requires a public
funding commitment of $68.9 million

Public Private Partnership
The Tri-Rail Downtown Miami Link would provide a cost-effective and strategic transit solution for Miami -Dade. New service is possible by
leveraging All Aboard Florida's private rail and station investment, along with the recent USDOT TIGER grant for the South Florida Rail Corridor
freight connections, quiet zone funds provided by the Miami -Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the region's previous investment
in the Tri-Rail system. To leverage this private investment in Downtown Miami, the public is being asked to participate in the incremental
construction costs for the MiamiCentral Station and new rail infrastructure to support the Tri-Rail Downtown Miami Extension,

COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT
As a condition precedent to the receipt of the proceeds of the Special Purpose Improvement
Bonds, SFRTA has agreed to enter into a community benefits agreement with the CRA which will
incorporate the following provisions for the benefit of residents of the Redevelopment Area:
1. Free Ridership for low and moderate -income residents of the Redevelopment Area.
For the life of the CRA, SFRTA shall provide all low and moderate -income residents of
the Redevelopment Area with free monthly fare passes, subject to annual certification to
confirm resident eligibility. This ridership benefit will be limited to individuals or
members of households earning less than 60% of the then current median family income
for Miami -Dade County, Florida Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, including
adjustment for family size. The annual certification process will be administered by the
CRA.
2. Preference for permanent employment opportunities. For the life of the CRA, SFRTA
shall give priority to Overtown residents for the platform jobs.
3. Continuous paid summer internship program for high school students residing with
the Redevelopment Area and with highest poverty zip codes of the City of Miami. For
the life of the CRA, SFRTA shall participate in a paid summer internship program for high
school students residing in the above areas, which program shall be established and paid
for by SFRTA with the concurrence of the CRA.
4. Discounted advertising opportunities for CRA businesses. For the life of the CRA,
SFRTA shall provide businesses within the Redevelopment Area with discounted
commercial advertising opportunities of not less than twenty percent (20%) for advertising
within SFRTA stations and SFRTA passenger cars.
5. In -kind advertising opportunities for the Lyric Theater, the Black Police Museum
and other historic sites within the Redevelopment Area. For the life of the CRA,
SFRTA shall provide in -kind opportunities for "commercial events at such facilities.
6. Enhanced living wages for all permanent jobs created as a result of problem
construction. During the life of the CRA, SFRTA anticipates that the platform
improvements will result in the creation of not less than three (3) full-time equivalent
positions and has agreed to pay a minimum of $11.53 per hour with a qualifying health
benefit (as defined in Miami -Dade Code of Ordinances, as amended from time to time) or
$12.83 per hour with a non -qualifying health benefit (the "Minimum Hourly Wage Rates"
which Minimum Hourly Wage Rates shall be increased annually to reflect increases in the
consumer price index).

Insurance Coverage
Liability insurance for the operation of SFRTA's Tri-Rail Downtown Miami Link Service shall be
provided in one of two possible ways:
1. FDOT Insurance Program [as stated in the original Exhibit F to the Agreement].
2. SFRTA Insurance Program - In the event the FDOT Insurance Program is not used, a new
insurance program will be established by SFRTA prior to revenue service to address tort claims
("SFRTA Insurance Program") as follows:
a. SFRTA is authorized under Section 343.54(3), F.S. "to purchase by directly contracting
with local, national or international insurance companies to provide liability insurance which the
authority is contractually and legally obligated to provide."
b. SFRTA shall establish a separate fund of $5 million that will serve as the first layer of
liability insurance for the SFRTA Insurance Program ("SFRTA Primary Layer").
c. SFRTA shall purchase excess liability insurance (separate and apart from the excess
liability insurance it purchases for the FDOT Insurance Program) of $200 million or greater (if
required by federal law) for claims that exceed the $5 million SFRTA Primary Layer. The excess
insurance will also be procured from off -shore insurance markets based in Bermuda and/or
London.
d. If the SFRTA Insurance Program is established in lieu of the FDOT Insurance Program,
SFRTA will amend its contracts with its service providers so that they reflect SFRTA's obligation
to obtain and provide the SFRTA Insurance Program and that this insurance remain in full force
and effect throughout the term of the commuter rail operations, as a condition precedent to the
initiation of the Tri-Rail Downtown Miami Link Service.
e. In the even the insurance policy(ies) would be cancelled for any reason, SFRTA shall be
obligated to replace said policy or self -insure or provide such coverage as is needed with another
policy(ies) in like amount and coverage protection.

Exhibit "L-1 "
FDOT Insurance Program
1. Pursuant to Section 347.302(17)(b), F.S., FDOT is authorized to purchase excess liability
insurance in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars
($200,000,000.00) for Commuter Rail Operations when it is obligated to do so by contract
to forever protect, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless a freight rail operator, or its
successors, from whom FDOT has acquired a real property interest in a rail corridor.
FDOT purchased the South Florid Rail Corridor (the "Corridor") from CSX
Transportation, Inc., in 1988. In addition, FDOT is authorized by statute to establish a self-
insurance retention fund (the "SIRF") in an amount not to exceed Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00). The SIRF provides the "first layer" of liability coverage for torts claims
related to the Corridor. The insurance covers SFRTA, as FDOT designated commuter rail
operator on the Corridor, SFRTA's contractors that operate, maintain and provide security
for commuter rail service. It also covers SFRTA's contractor that maintains the Corridor's
track and signals. FDOT and CSXT are named insured on the excess liability policies.
2. SFRTA purchases, on behalf of FDOT, $200 million in excess liability insurance for claims
that exceed the $10 million SIRF, which has been established by the Legislature. SFRTA
purchases excess liability insurance through off -shore insurance markets based in London
and Bermuda.
3. SFRTA must obtain FDOT approval prior to entering into any agreement, lease or
arrangement that would add a party to the SIRF.
4. SFRTA's obligation to obtain excess liability insurance described above its condition
precedent to SFRTA's contract operators and security provider operation the commuter
rail service for SFRTA. Obtaining and maintenance of insurance in full force and effect
throughout the term of the commuter rail operations, is a condition subsequent to the
continuation of such operation by SFRTA. In the event the insurance policy(ies) is
canceled for any reason, SFRTA must replace said policy or self -insure or provide such
coverage as is needed with another policy like in the amount and coverage protection.
