KAJl'JU..G\AGRE\S02009.6

to the specified prepayment date. Any prepayments shall be applied to the sums last maturing
hereunder.
3.3 Adjustments to Note Rate.
(a) Adjustments to Note Rate. The Note Rate may be subject to adjustments
as described in this Section at the discretion of the Bank upon the occurrence of certain events
described herein. The Bank shall promptly notify the City in writing of any adjustments for the
Note pursuant to this Section. Such adjustments shall become effective as of the effective date of
the event causing such adjuSbnent. AdjuSbnents pursuant to this Section shall be retroactive from
the date of the applicable occurrence. The Bank shall certify to the City in writing the additional
amount, if any, due to the Bank as a result of an adjuSbnent pursuant to this Section.
(b) Particular Adjustments. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(a) above,
the interest rate on the Note shall be adjusted as follows:
(i) Loss of Federal Income Tax Deduction for State Income Taxes.
If the federal income tax deduction for state income taxes paid on the interest payments received
under the Note during any period is reduced because of any change in the tax laws or regulations
and the Noteholder is then subject to payment of state income tax on the interest on the Note, then
the interest rate on the Note shall be increased during such period by an amount equal to A x B
x C x D where:
(I) A equals the fraction (expressed as a decimal) of the total
state income tax disallowed as a result of such tax law change;
(2) B equals the rate of the applicable state income tax (expressed
as a decimal);
(3) C equals the maximum federal corporate tax rate then in effect
for the Noteholder (expressed as a decimal); and
(4) D equals the interest rate on the Note (expressed as a
percentage).
(ii) Partial Taxability. If the interest payments received under the Note
during any period become partially taxable to the extent not otherwise taxable on the date of
issuance thereof because of any change in the tax laws or regulations, then the interest rate on the
Note shall be increased during such period by an amount equal to (A - B) x C where:
(I) A equals the Taxable Rate (expressed as a percentage);
(2) B equals the interest rate on the Note (expressed as a
percentage); and
(3) C equals the fraction of the interest rate on the Note which
has become taxable as the result of such tax change (expressed as a decimal).
KAR\RLG\AGRE\502009.6
10
(iii) Other Changes in Tax Laws. If the tax laws or regulations are
amended to cause the interest on the Note to become taxable to the extent not otherwise taxable
on the date of issuance thereof, to be subject to a minimum tax or an alternative minimum tax or
to otherwise decrease the yield on the Note to the Noteholder (directly or indirectly, other than a
change described in (i) or (ii) above or because of a Determination of Taxability), then, at the
discretion ofthe Bank, the interest rate on the Note shall be adjusted to cause the yield on the Note,
to equal what the yield on the Note would have been in the absence of such change or amendment
in the tax laws or regulations. The interest rate on the Note may change, at the discretion of the
Bank, if the Maximum Corporate Tax changes in accordance with the following formula:
current
Note Rate
x
Old Maximum Corporate Tax Rate
New Maximum Corporate Tax Rate.
In the event that the provisions in Section 291(a)(3) of the Code, related to financial institution
preference items, are amended, the interest rate on the Note may also change, at the discretion of
the Bank, in order to cause the yield on the Note to equal what the yield on the Note would have
been in the absence of such amendment to such provisions.
If the tax laws or regulations are amended to increase yield on the Note to the Noteholder,
then the Bank, if directed by the City, shall adjust the interest rate on the Note to cause the yield
on the Note to equal what the yield on the Note would have been in the absence of such change
or amendment in the tax laws or regulations.
(c) Method of Adjustment. The above adjustments shall be cumulative, but in
no event shall the interest rate on the Note exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Interest
on the Note and all other tax rates and interest rates are expressed as annual rates. However, proper
partial adjustment shall be made if the tax law change is effective after the first day of the
Noteholder's tax year or if interest on the Note does not accrue for the entire tax year of the
Noteholder. Adjustments which create a circular calculation because the interest rate on the Note
is affected by the calculation shall be carried out sequentially, increasing the interest rate on the
Note accordingly in each successive rate on the Note, until the change on the interest rate on the
Note caused by the next successive calculation of the adjustment is de minimis. If more than one
of paragraphs numbered (i) through (iii) in Section 3.3(b) apply, then the interest rate on the Note
shall be adjusted in the order in which listed above.
(d) Retroactive Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the interest rate
on the Note is not effected within three (3) months of the event giving rise to the adjustment, the
additional interest due as a result of such adjustment shall be paid with interest thereon
compounded monthly at the rate which is equal to the interest rate on the Note; provided, however,
in no event shall such interest rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. Subject to the
provisions of Section 3.3(a) hereof, all unpaid amounts determined to be owing as a result of such
calculation shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice of the
amount of such adjustment, and shall be paid to the Noteholder of record during the period to
which the adjustment relates. This obligation shall survive the payment and cancellation of the
Note for a period of three years from the date of cancellation.
KARIRLGIAGRE\502009.6
11
(e) Selection of Eurodollar Rate. With respect to rate adjustment on October
I, 2006, the City shall select the date during the period commencing September 1, 2006 through
October I, 2006 on which the five year Eurodollar Rate shall be determined. In the event the City
shall fail to select a date of determination, the five year Eurodollar Rate shall be determined as of
October I, 2006.
(f) Savings Clause. In the event the maturity of the Note is accelerated or
prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, then such amounts that constitute payments of
interest, together with any costs or considerations which constitute interest under the laws of the
State of Florida, may never equal an amount which would result in payment of interest at a rate
in excess of the nonusurious interest allowed by the laws of the State of Florida or the United
States to the extent applicable, as presently in effect and to the extent an increase is allowable by
such laws; and excess interest, if any, shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such
acceleration, or, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal amount of the Note unpaid,
but such crediting shall not cure or waive any default under this Agreement.
3.4 Determination of Taxability. Ifa Determination of Taxability shall occur, the Note
will bear interest from the earliest effective date on which such Determination of Taxability is
deemed to have occurred at a floating interest rate per annum equal to the Taxable Rate. The City
will also pay the holder of this Note or assigns, from Pledged Revenues, any penalties and any
interest owed by the holder of this Note due to the failure of the holder of this Note to include
interest on this Note in its gross income for federal income tax purposes and any arrears in interest
resulting from a Determination of Taxability, and any penalties in the form of interest or otherwise
shall be paid by the City on the next succeeding interest payment date.
3.5 Compliance with Section 215.84. The City represents, warrants, and covenants that
the Note Rate, as currently calculated in accordance with Section 215.84 Florida Statutes, is in
compliance with Section 215.84, Florida Statutes.

moneys available, after all required current payments for Cost of Operation and Maintenance and
all current applications and allocations to pay amounts due under the Agreement, including all
deficiencies for prior payments have been made in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case

based on a certification of the City Manager, the amounts on deposit in the Reserve Fund shall be
released by the Bank and disbursed by the City for any lawful purpose of the System which, in
the opinion of Bond Counsel, shall not impair the exclusion of the interest on the Note from the
gross income of the Noteholder.

the same shall become due and payable; or
(c) the City shall default in the due and punctual performance of any other of
the covenants, conditions, agreements and provisions contained in the Note or in this Agreement
on the part of the City to be performed, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after

the City by the Bank; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of the Bank, the City

or evidence of indebtedness which is secured in whole or in part by a pledge of Pledged Revenues;
or
(e) any representation or warranty of the City contained in this Agreement or

the closing of this Loan shall prove to have been untrue in any material respect when executed and
delivered, thereby adversely impairing the security for the Note; or
(t) any proceedings are instituted with the consent or acquiescence of the City,
for the purpose of effecting a compromise between the City and its creditors or for the purpose of
KARIJU.G\AGRE\502009.6
19

enacted; or

or consents to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for itself or shall file a petition or answer
seeking reorganization or any arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any ~ther
applicable law or statute of the United States of America or any state thereof; or
(h) the City is adjudged insolvent by a court of competent jurisdiction or is
adjudged bankrupt on a petition of bankruptcy filed against the City, or an order, judgment or
decree is entered by any court of competent jurisdiction appointing, without the consent of the

aforesaid adjudications, orders, judgments or decrees shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed
within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof; or
(i) if, under the provisions of any law for the relief or aid of debtors, any court
of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the City or of the whole or any
substantial part of its property and such custody or control shall not be terminated within ninety
(90) days from the date of assumption of such custody or control; or
(j) any law that creates the Pledged Revenues is either repealed, declared
unconstitutional, or otherwise modified in a manner which is materially adverse to Bank's security
hereunder.
S.2 Exercise of Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the Noteholder may, by a notice in writing to the City, declare the principal of the Note
(if not then due and payable) to be immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration, the
same shall be immediately due and payable, anything contained in the Note or this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Noteholder may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under the laws of the State
of Florida or under this Agreement by such suits, actions or special proceedings in equity or at law,
or by proceedings in the office of any board or officer having jurisdiction, either for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in aid or execution of any power
herein granted or for the enforcement of any proper legal or equitable remedy, as the Noteholder
shall deem most effective to protect and enforce such rights. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Noteholder shall have the right to bring a mandamus action to require the City to
perform its obligations under Article IV of this Agreement.
In the enforcement of any remedy under this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law,
the Noteholder shall be entitled to sue for, enforce payment of and receive any and all amounts
then or during any default becoming, and at any time remaining, due from the City for principal,
interest or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Agreement or of the Note then unpaid,
with interest on overdue payments of principal and interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the
Default Rate, together with any and all costs and expenses of collection and of all proceedings
hereunder and under the Note (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and paralegal's
fees in all proceedings, including administrative, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings), but
KAR\RLG\AGRE\502009 .6
20
payable from the Pledged Revenues, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the
Noteholder, 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,
costs, and expenses as above provided, and to collect (but only from the Pledged Revenues) in any
manner provided by law, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.
5.3 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Noteholder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies herein provided, and each
and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given
hereunder.
5.4 Waivers, Etc. No delay or omission of the Noteholder to exercise any right or
power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be
a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by
this Agreement to the Noteholder may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient.
The Noteholder may waive any default which in its opinion shall have been remedied
before the entry of final judgment or decree in any suit, action or proceeding instituted by it under
the provisions of this Agreement or before the completion of the enforcement of any other remedy
under this Agreement, but no such waiver shall be effective unless in writing and no such waiver
shall extend to or affect any other existing or any subsequent default or defaults or impair any
rights or remedies consequent thereon.
