Subject: AIISports Senior Living Project Financing
Background Summary:
Windermere Senior Living, LLC (the "Applicant ") intends to construct a senior living facility which
will contain approximately 72 assisted living units and approximately 48 memory support units on
6.47 acres of property located on the north side of Roberson Road just east of the Roberson
Rd./Windermere Rd. intersection. The proposed Master Concept Plan is attached for your
reference. The Applicant intends to enter into an affiliation agreement with the local chapter of the
NFL Players Association pursuant to which former NFL players may be referred to the center and
potential residents thereof.
Financing for the project involves cooperation and participation by the City of Ocoee. The Applicant
desires the assistance of the City in obtaining conduit financing pursuant to the Florida Industrial
Development Financing Act, Chapter 159, Part II, Florida Statutes (the "Act "). Under the Act, the
City may issue and sell bonds in one or more tax - exempt or taxable series. The Applicant has
requested the City issue bonds in an aggregate principal amount of up to $35,000,000 as a loan to
the Applicant for the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of the proposed facility.
In the event the City issues the bonds for the project, the bonds will not be a general debt or liability
of the City. In addition, they will not affect the City's subsequent bonding capacity. The obligations
for repayment under the bonds will be payable solely by the Applicant from the project. The
Applicant will indemnify the City against any liabilities, claims and expenses incurred by the City in
any way relating to the issuance of the bonds, including being responsible for the payment of costs
incurred by the City's Bond Counsel, Bryant Miller Olive, and incurred by the City Attorney as
Issuer's Counsel.
In the event the City is willing to assist the Applicant in obtaining the financing under the Act, the
first step is for the City to take preliminary official action expressing such intention to issue and sell
the bonds. The official action is the adoption of a Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act
Resolution (the "TEFRA Resolution "). Adoption of the TEFRA Resolution requires a public hearing
mandated by the IRS to provide reasonable opportunity for interested individuals to express their
views, either orally or in writing, on the issuance of bonds and the project for which the bond funds
will be allocated. In addition to adoption of the TEFRA Resolution, the initial step would also be to
execute a Memorandum of Agreement with the Applicant that sets forth the obligations of the
parties with respect to the financing.
It is important to note, neither the adoption of the TEFRA Resolution nor the entering into the
Memorandum of Agreement with Applicant binds the City to the obligation to issue the bonds or
approve the project. However, adoption of the TEFRA Resolution does allow the Applicant to
obtain an allocation of the statewide private activity bond volume cap for the financing while the
volume cap is still available before July 1, 2013. Currently, there is just over $40,000,000 of
allocation in the Orange County regional pool. The actual issuance of the bonds will come at a later
date, should both the City and the Applicant decide to proceed with the conduit financing under the
Act.
Issue:
Should the City Commission adopt the TEFRA Resolution and enter into the Memorandum of
Agreement with the Applicant as a preliminary official action expressing an intention to issue and
sell bonds under the Act for the financing of the project?
Recommendations
City Staff is supportive of the project and the financing under the Act and recommends that the City
Commission adopt the TEFRA Resolution and enter into the Memorandum of Agreement.
Attachments:

Financial Impact:
Adoption of the TEFRA Resolution and entering into the Memorandum of Agreement will have no
fiscal impact to the City. All costs incurred by the City relating to the project and financing will be
paid by the Applicant. Once issued, the bonds will be secured solely by the projects' revenues.

Re: Proposed City of Ocoee, Florida
Senior Living Facilities Revenue and Refunding Bonds
(AllSports Senior Living Project), Series 2013
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Application is hereby made by Windermere Senior Living, LLC, a Florida limited
liability company (the "Borrower "), to the City of Ocoee, Florida (the "City ") through the City
Commission of the City (the "City Commission ") for approval and issuance by the City of its
Senior Living Facilities Revenue Bonds in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed
$35,000,000 (the "Bonds ") to finance the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of
certain senior living facilities, as more fully described below under "The Project."
The Project
The Project consists of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of senior
living facilities which will contain approximately 72 assisted living units, approximately 48
memory support units and related common areas, consisting of the acquisition of approximately
6.74 acres of land, the construction of a three -story building containing approximately 116,000
square feet, and the acquisition and installation of related facilities, fixtures, furnishings and
equipment, to be located at 11801 Roberson Road, Winter Garden, Florida 34787, in the City of
Ocoee, Orange County, Florida, and to be owned by the Borrower and managed by
LivingVentures Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company.
The Borrower believes and represents to the City Commission: (i) that the Project
constitutes a "project" within the meaning of Section 159.27(5), of Chapter 159, Part II, Florida
Statutes, as amended (the "Act "), to wit, a "health care facility" within the meaning of Section
159.27(5), Florida Statutes, as amended; (ii) that the Project will serve a paramount public
purpose by promoting and fostering the economic growth and development of the City, Orange
County (the "County ") and the State of Florida (the "State "), increase purchasing power and
opportunities for gainful employment, improve living conditions, advance and improve the
economic prosperity and the welfare of the State and its inhabitants, advance the public purposes
of providing modern and efficient senior living facilities in the City and the County, and
4851- 9142 - 7603.5
otherwise contribute to the health, safety and welfare of the people of the City, County and the
State; and (iii) that the Project, when completed, will comply with all applicable federal, state
and local laws, ordinances and regulations.
The Borrower
The Borrower is a Florida limited liability company, whose primary offices are currently
located at 2200 Lucien Way, Suite 350, Maitland, Florida 32751. The Borrower was formed in
2013. The Managing Member of the Borrower consists of AllSports Memory Care, LLC, a
Florida limited liability company ( "AIISports "). AllSports is in turn managed by Living
Ventures Development, LLC, which is a subsidiary of LivingVentures, Inc. ( "LivingVentures ").
LivingVentures, Inc., formerly known as Green Global Investments, Inc., is a public
company headquartered in Orlando with offices in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Toronto. It is a
fully integrated real estate investment, development and operating company focused on senior
housing management. Its resident - centric service model provides the company with advantages
in the senior living sector. LivingVentures, through its subsidiaries, currently operates senior
housing projects in Canada and Florida, and has extensive expertise in senior housing
management. For more information regarding LivingVentures, visit its website,
www.liviiiLventuresinc.com.
Affiliation Agreement
Pursuant to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the National Football League
( "NFL ") and the NFL Players Association dated August 4, 2011, the "88 Plan" was established.
The 88 Plan was established to provide medical benefits to former NFL Players who were vested
in the NFL's retirement plan and are determined by a board (the "88 Board ") to have Dementia,
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( "ALS ") and /or Parkinson's disease. The 88 Plan provides that
the 88 Plan will reimburse or directly pay for certain costs related to Dementia, ALS or
Parkinson's disease upon a diagnosis made by a physician. Pursuant to an affiliation agreement
between the local chapter of the NFL Players Association and the Borrower, NFL Players who
may be potential residents of the Project will be referred to the Borrower.
Public Purposes and Benefits
Public Purposes The Project constitutes a "health care facility" within the meaning of
Section 159.27(5), Florida Statutes, as amended. The Supreme Court of Florida has determined
that a health care facility serves a paramount public purpose and that the financing of such
projects through the issuance of public revenue bonds, under the Florida Industrial Development
Act, is valid and constitutional. The Project will advance the public purposes of providing
modern and efficient senior living facilities in the City and the County, which facilities are
needed for the welfare and benefit of the City and the County and surrounding areas and are
commensurate with a desirable level of health care.
Economic Benefits to the Community In addition to the additional employment
provided during the construction of the Project, following completion of construction and the
placing of the Project into operation, the Project will provide economic benefits to the
2
4851- 9142 - 7603.5
community by employing approximately 65 persons with an annual payroll of approximately
$2,500,000. The Project will also result in an increase in the City's ad valorem tax base.
Zoning and Utilities Zoning for the site is suitable for the Project. There are no unusual
requirements for sanitary sewer and water, and sewer and water service is available at the Project
site. There is adequate land available to provide for the retention of storm water as required by
local regulations. Other utility requirements, such as telephone and electricity, are normal and
are presently available.
Financial Matters
The Borrower desires to finance the Project at the most favorable cost possible. The
issuance by the City of its industrial development revenue bonds would provide a substantially
lower interest cost than any other alternative.
Through the use of industrial development revenue bond financing, the total cost of the
Project, and the annual costs of operating the Project and providing for all debt service
requirements, would be minimized. This would enhance the financial viability of the Project.
The Borrower has been advised by Bond Counsel concerning the financial
responsibilities of the Borrower under the Act, and is satisfied that it will be capable of fulfilling
all such obligations, including the obligation to make payments sufficient for the payment of all
debt service on the Bonds.
It is understood and agreed by the Borrower that all expenses incurred by the City with
respect to the Bonds shall be borne by the Borrower.
Estimated Sources and Uses of Funds
The estimated sources and uses of funds for the Project are shown in the following table:
Sources of Funds
Par Amount of Bonds $25,300,000
Net Original Issue Premium /(Discount) (500,000)
Proceeds of Revenue Bonds 24,800,000

4851 - 9142 - 7603.5
Security

between the Borrower and the City. The City's rights under the Loan Agreement (with the
exception of certain rights to indemnification and payment of expenses that are retained by the
City) will be assigned by the City to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the bond trustee
for the Bonds (the "Bond Trustee ").

and security agreement (the "Mortgage ") of the Borrower in favor of the City . The City's rights
under the Mortgage (with the exception of certain rights of indemnification and payment of
expenses as retained by the City) will be assigned by the City to the Bond Trustee pursuant to the

other applicable laws.
declared that:
SECTION 2. FINDINGS. It is hereby found, ascertained, determined and
A. The City of Ocoee, Florida (the "City ") is an incorporated municipality of the
State of Florida, is a "local agency" as defined in the Florida Industrial Development Financing
Act, Chapter 159, Part 11, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Act "), and is duly authorized and
empowered by the Act to provide for the issuance of and to issue and sell its revenue bonds for
the purpose of financing all or any part of the "cost" of any "project," including any "health care
facility" (as such terms are defined in the Act), in order to promote and foster the economic
growth and development of the City, of Orange County, Florida (the "County "), and of the State
of Florida (the "State "), to enhance and expand industry and other economic activity in the City,
the County and the State, and to increase purchasing power and opportunities for gainful
employment, to improve living conditions and to advance and improve the prosperity and the
4833 - 5053 - 3139.5
welfare of the City, the County and the State and its inhabitants, to foster the industrial and
business development of the City, the County and the State, and to otherwise provide for and
contribute to the health, safety and welfare of the people of the City, the County and the State.
B. Windermere Senior Living, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the
"Borrower "), has requested that the City Commission (the "Commission ") of the City take
preliminary official action expressing the City's intention to issue and sell its Senior Living
Facilities Revenue Bonds (AllSports Senior Living Project), in one or more tax - exempt or
taxable series, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000 (the "Bonds "), in
order to (i) finance the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of senior living
facilities which will contain approximately 72 assisted living units, approximately 48 memory
support units, and related common areas, consisting of the acquisition of approximately 6.74
acres of land, the construction of a three -story building containing approximately 1 16,000 square
feet, and the acquisition and installation of related facilities, fixtures, furnishings and equipment,
to be located at 11801 Roberson Road, Winter Garden, Florida 34787, in the City of Ocoee,
Orange County, Florida, and to be owned by the Borrower and managed by LivingVentures
Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, (ii) pay capitalized interest, if any, on
the Bonds, (iii) fund debt service reserves, if any, for the Bonds and (iv) pay certain costs of
issuance relating to the Bonds (collectively, the "Project "). The Bonds, if issued, will not be a
general debt or liability of the City or a debt, liability or other obligation of the County, the State,
or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely from the proceeds derived from
the repayment of the related loan or loans, or from the other security pledged therefore.
C. The Borrower has requested that the City enter into a loan or other financing
agreement between the City and the Borrower (the "Financing Agreement "), whereby the
Borrower will be unconditionally obligated to operate, repair and maintain the Project, to make
payments sufficient to pay the debt service on the Bonds and to pay all other costs incurred by
the City in connection with the financing and the acquisition, construction, installation and
administration of the Project, which are not paid out of proceeds of the Bonds or otherwise. It is
expected that the interest on the Bonds which are to be issued as tax - exempt bonds will be
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the laws of the United States
of America.
D. A public hearing on the Borrower's application has been duly held by the
Commission, upon public notice published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City not
less than 14 days prior to the scheduled date of such public hearing. A copy of the publisher's
affidavit in proof of publication of such notice is attached hereto as Exhibit A . At said hearing
members of the public were afforded reasonable opportunity to be heard on all matters pertaining
to the location and nature of the proposed Project and to the issuance of the Bonds, and upon
consideration of the information furnished by the Borrower and other available information,
including the information and views presented at such public hearing, the Commission has made
the following findings and determinations:
(1) The Project will constitute a capital project for a "health care
facility" and a "project" within the meaning of the Act. The costs of the Project to be paid from
proceeds of the Bonds will be "costs" of a "project" within the meaning of the Act.
4833 - 5053 - 3139.5
2
(2) The Project will serve a paramount public purpose by: promoting
and fostering the economic growth and development of the City, the County and the State;
enhancing and expanding industry and other economic activity in the City, the County and the
State; increasing purchasing power and opportunities for gainful employment; improving living
conditions and to advance and improve the prosperity and the welfare of the City, the County
and the State and its inhabitants; fostering the industrial and business development of the City,
the County and the State; and otherwise providing for and contributing to the health, safety and
welfare of the people of the City, the County and the State.
(3) It is proposed that the City and the Borrower enter into a
memorandum of agreement in the form presented at this meeting (the "Memorandum of
Agreement "), providing, among other things, for the Bonds to be issued and sold upon the terms
and conditions hereof and thereof; for the use and application of the proceeds of sale of the
Bonds to pay all or any part of the "cost" (as defined in the Act) of the Project, to the extent of
such proceeds; for a loan or other financing agreement between the City and the Borrower,
whereby the Borrower will be unconditionally obligated to operate, repair and maintain the
Project at no expense to the City, to make payments sufficient in the aggregate to pay all of the
principal of and interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds, and to pay all other
costs incurred by the City in connection with the financing, acquisition, construction, installation
and administration of the Project which are not paid out of the Bond proceeds or otherwise; and
for such other financing agreements, indentures, and related agreements as shall be necessary or
appropriate.
(4) The purposes of the Act will be more effectively served if, and it is
necessary and desirable and in the best interest of the City that, the Memorandum of Agreement
be executed and delivered by and on behalf of the City.
(5) The Commission is the elected legislative body of the City and has
jurisdiction over the area in which the Project will be located.
SECTION 3. PRELIMINARY APPROVAL. This Resolution is adopted to
provide an expression of intention by the City, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, to issue and
sell the Bonds and make the proceeds thereof available to finance all or a part of the qualifying

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
This MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT is by and between the CITY OF OCOEE,
FLORIDA, an incorporated municipality of the State of Florida (the "City "), and
WINDERMERE SENIOR LIVING, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the "Borrower ").
1. Preliminary Statement Among the matters of mutual inducement which have
resulted in the execution of this Memorandum of Agreement are the following:
(a) The City is an incorporated municipality of the State of Florida and is a "local
agency" as defined in the Florida Industrial Development Financing Act, Chapter 159, Part I1,
Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Act "), and as such is duly authorized and empowered to
provide for the issuance of and to issue and sell its revenue bonds for the purpose of financing all
or any part of the "cost" of any "project," including any "health care facility" (as provided by
and defined in the Act).
(b) The Borrower proposes that the City issue and sell its Senior Living Facilities
Revenue Bonds (AllSports Senior Living Project), in one or more tax - exempt or taxable series,
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000 (the "Bonds "), in order to (i) finance
the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of approximately 72 assisted living units,
approximately 48 memory support units and related common areas, consisting of the acquisition
of approximately 6.74 acres of land, the construction of a three -story building containing
approximately 116,000 square feet, and the acquisition and installation of related facilities,
fixtures, furnishings and equipment, to be located at 11801 Roberson Road, Winter Garden,
Florida 34787, in the City of Ocoee, Orange County, Florida, and to be owned by the Borrower
and managed by LivingVentures Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, (ii) pay
capitalized interest, if any, on the Bonds, (iii) fund debt service reserves, if any, for the Bonds
and (iv) pay certain costs of issuance relating to the Bonds (collectively, the "Project "). The
Bonds, if issued, will not be a general debt or liability of the City or a debt, liability or other
obligation of Orange County, Florida (the "County "), the State of Florida (the "State ") or any
political subdivision of the State, but shall be payable solely from the proceeds derived from the
repayment of the related loan or loans, or from the other security pledged therefore.
(c) The Borrower represents that the Project constitutes a capital project for a "health
care facility" and a "project" within the meaning of the Act; and that the Project will provide
employment in the City and the State by creating more than 100 full -time jobs during the
construction of the Project and, following the completion of the Project and issuance of
certificates of occupancy, creating approximately 65 permanent jobs. The Borrower represents
that the Project will also result in an increase in the City's ad valorem tax base.
(d) The Borrower proposes that the City express its intention to issue the Bonds for
the purpose of financing all or a part of the "cost" (as defined in the Act) of the Project. It is
expected that the interest on the Bonds to be issued as tax - exempt bonds will be excluded from
gross income for federal income tax purposes under the laws of the United States of America,
including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code ").
4815 -7201- 7171.5
(e) The Borrower proposes that the City and the Borrower enter into a loan or other
financing agreement or agreements, whereby the Borrower will be unconditionally obligated to
operate, repair and maintain the Project, to make payments sufficient to pay the debt service on
the Bonds and to pay all other costs incurred by the City in connection with the financing and the
acquisition, construction, installation and administration of the Project, which are not paid out of
the Bond proceeds or otherwise.
(f) The City Commission (the "Commission "), by resolution (the "Preliminary
Resolution ") duly passed and adopted on June , 2013, has made certain findings and
determinations and has duly approved and authorized the execution and delivery of this
Memorandum of Agreement.
(g) The Preliminary Resolution was adopted by the Commission to provide an
expression of intention by the City, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, to issue and sell the Bonds
and make the proceeds thereof available to finance all or a part of the qualifying costs of the
Project, including the cost of issuing the Bonds, all in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Florida, including the Act and the
Preliminary Resolution, but subject in all respects to the City being satisfied that the Project
complies with the criteria and requirements enumerated in Section 159.29, Florida Statutes and
the terms, conditions and limitations contained in a subsequent resolution of the City (the
"Details Resolution "), compliance with such terms, conditions and limitations to be determined
by the City in its sole discretion. Neither the Preliminary Resolution nor this Memorandum of
Agreement is a binding commitment by the City to issue the Bonds and nothing in the
Preliminary Resolution or in this Memorandum of Agreement is intended, or shall be deemed, to
obligate the City to issue the Bonds.
(h) This Memorandum of Agreement is entered into to permit the Borrower to
proceed with commitments for the Project and to incur costs in connection with various phases
of the Project (including the costs of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of
the Project and related expenses), to provide a declaration of official intent by the City to
reimburse certain capital expenditures in connection with the Project which will be paid by the
Borrower prior to the issuance of the Bonds (the "Temporary Advances ") in accordance with
Treasury Regulation § 1.150 -2 under the Code and an expression of intention by the City, prior
to the issuance of the Bonds, to issue and sell the Bonds and make the proceeds thereof available
to finance all or a part of the cost of the Project, to the extent of such proceeds, all in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of the Constitution, other laws of the State (including, without
limitation, the Act), the Code and this Memorandum of Agreement.
(i) The Borrower represents that, as of the date hereof, it expects to be reimbursed for
any Temporary Advances with proceeds of the Bonds loaned by the City to the Borrower, such
reimbursement from the proceeds of the Bonds to occur not later than 18 months after the later of
(a) the date the Temporary Advance is paid or (b) the date the Project is placed in service or
abandoned, but in no event more than three years after the Temporary Advance is paid. The
Borrower represents that each Temporary Advance will be a cost of the Project of a type that is
properly chargeable to a capital account (or would be so chargeable with a proper election or
with the application of the definition of "placed in service" in Treasury Department Regulation
Section 1.150 -2(c) under the Code) under general federal income tax principles.

2. Intentions on the Part of the City Pursuant to, in accordance with and subject to
the limitations of the Constitution, other laws of the State of Florida (including, without
limitation, the Act), and the Code, and upon the conditions stated in the Preliminary Resolution,
the Details Resolution or in this Memorandum of Agreement, the City intends as follows:
(a) It will authorize the issuance and sale of the Bonds, pursuant to the terms of the
Act as then in force, for the purpose of financing all or a portion of the cost of the Project.
(b) It will, at the proper time and subject in all respects to the prior advice, consent
and approval of the Borrower, adopt such proceedings and authorize the execution of such
documents as may be necessary and advisable for the authorization, sale and issuance of the
Bonds, the acquisition, construction and installation of the Project and the financing of the
Project, all as shall be provided for or permitted by the Code, the Act, and the Florida Private
Activity Bond Allocation Act, Chapter 159, Part V1, Florida Statutes, and as mutually
satisfactory to the City and the Borrower. The Bonds are to be issued under a trust indenture
between the City and a trust company, bank or other qualified trustee having trust powers (which
shall be qualified to serve as trustee under such indenture, under all applicable laws, and be
designated by the Borrower with the approval of the City), as Trustee, pursuant to which the
Trustee shall receive and disburse the proceeds from the sale of Bonds, collect payments from
the Borrower under the financing agreements and enforce its obligations under the financing
agreements. The Bonds shall not be deemed to constitute a debt, liability or obligation, or a
pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power, of the City, the County or of the State or of any
political subdivision thereof, but the Bonds shall be payable solely from the revenues and
proceeds to be derived by the City from the sale, operation or leasing of the Project, including
payments received under the financing agreements. The Bonds shall bear interest at such rate or
rates, shall be payable at such times and places, shall be in such forms and denominations, shall
be sold in such manner, at such price and at such time or times, shall have such provisions for
redemption, shall be executed, and shall be secured by the obligations of the Borrower, as
hereafter may be requested by the Borrower and determined or provided for by the City, all on
terms complying with the Code and the Act and mutually satisfactory to the City and the
Borrower.
(c) The interest on the Bonds to be issued as tax - exempt bonds shall be excluded
from gross income for federal income tax purposes, as determined on the basis of an opinion of
bond counsel approved by the City.
(d) THE CITY MAKES NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS
TO THE PROJECT OR THE CONDITION THEREOF, OR THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE
SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSES OR THE NEEDS OF THE BORROWER. THE CITY
MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE
BORROWER WILL HAVE QUIET OR PEACEFUL POSSESSION OF THE PROJECT. THE
CITY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THE MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OR WORKMANSHIP OF ANY
PART OF THE PROJECT OR ITS SUITABILITY FOR THE BORROWER'S PURPOSES.

4815 -7201- 7171.5
3. Agreements of the Borrower Subject to the conditions stated in the Preliminary
Resolution, the Details Resolution or in this Memorandum of Agreement, the Borrower agrees as
follows:
(a) If the Borrower proceeds with the Project, it will generally arrange for, manage
and carry out the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of the Project, it will
advance its own funds for such purpose as herein provided and, to the extent that the proceeds
derived from the sale of the Bonds are not sufficient to complete the Project and pay all costs
incurred in connection with the financing and administration of the Project, it will supply all
additional funds which are necessary therefor.
(b) The Borrower will make arrangements for the sale of the Bonds and shall be
responsible for compliance with all applicable securities laws, including any disclosure
obligations, in connection with the offering and sale thereof.
(c) Contemporaneously with the delivery of the Bonds, the Borrower will enter into
the financing agreements and such other agreements and related documents as shall be necessary
or appropriate so that the Borrower will be obligated to operate, maintain and repair the Project
at its own expense, to pay for the account of the City sums sufficient in the aggregate to pay all
of the principal of and interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds when and as the
same shall become due and payable, and to pay all other costs incurred by the City in connection
with the financing, construction and administration of the Project, except as may be paid out of
proceeds of the Bonds or otherwise.
4. General Provisions
(a) Since it is anticipated that the acquisition, construction and installation of the
Project will commence prior to the sale of the Bonds and the Borrower knows and acknowledges
that the City will have no funds available to pay the cost of the Project other than funds derived
from the sale of the Bonds, the Borrower agrees to advance from time to time all funds necessary
for the acquisition, construction and installation of the Project, and any such funds when so
advanced shall be deemed funds advanced on behalf of the City; provided, however, that the City
shall not by virtue of such advances or otherwise through this Memorandum of Agreement
acquire any property interest in the Project whatsoever. To the extent that the net proceeds
derived from the sale of the Bonds are sufficient for such purpose, the City agrees to reimburse
the Borrower from such net proceeds after the issuance of the Bonds for costs of the Project
incurred by the Borrower prior to the issuance of the Bonds (subject to any limitations imposed
by the Code).
(b) The City agrees that the Borrower may enter into one or more agreements with a
private lender or lenders to provide temporary construction financing and obtain commitments
for permanent financing for the Project without vitiating in any manner the terms of this
Agreement.

for the acquisition, construction, installation and completion of the Project, and shall provide all
services incident to the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of the Project,
4
4815- 7201 - 7171.5

engineers, architects, builders and other contractors, the obtaining of utility services, and the
provision of money to pay the cost thereof pending reimbursement by the City from the Bond
proceeds, and the City shall have no responsibility for the provision of any such services.
(d) The Borrower may engage the services of an underwriter or financial consultant
or adviser and the services of bond counsel or other legal counsel in connection with the offering
and sale of the Bonds; provided, however, that the City shall have no liability for the payment of
any such firm's compensation or expenses if the Bonds are not sold and issued, and if the Bonds
are sold and issued, the City shall be liable for the payment thereof only out of the proceeds of
the sale of the Bonds.
(e) The Borrower agrees to pay the City's actual out -of- pocket costs and expenses in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including counsel to the City as described
below), whether or not the Bonds are issued and sold, provided that if the Bonds are issued and
sold, such fee and costs and expenses may be reimbursed out of the proceeds of the sale of the
Bonds.

Chapter 75, Florida Statutes, as amended, unless validation shall be deemed advisable or shall be
required by Issuer's Counsel, Bond Counsel or the initial purchaser of the Bonds.
(h) Confirmation of the following shall be obtained from such governmental, as well
as nongovernmental, agencies and entities as may have or assert competence or jurisdiction over
or interest in matters pertinent thereto, and the same shall be in full force and effect at the time of
issuance of the Bonds: if required by the City or Issuer's Counsel, the Borrower or its counsel,
or Bond Counsel, such other rulings, approvals, consents, certificates of compliance, opinions of
counsel and other instruments and proceedings satisfactory to each of them, with respect to the
Bonds, the Project, this Memorandum of Agreement, the financing agreements, the trust
indenture or any other instrument or act contemplated hereby.
(i) The intentions of the City to issue the Bonds pursuant to this Memorandum of
Agreement and to use the proceeds thereof as herein contemplated are subject to the conditions
that (1) the Project and the Bonds shall comply with all provisions of the Act, (2) the Borrower
shall have made arrangements for the execution of indemnity agreements in favor of the City,
acceptable to the City, and (3) on or before two years from the date hereof (or such later date as
shall be mutually satisfactory to the City and the Borrower), the City and the Borrower shall
have agreed to mutually acceptable terms for the Bonds and the sale and delivery thereof, and for
5
4815- 7201 - 7171.5
the financing agreements and other agreements and documents referred to in Sections 2(b) and
3(c), and the Bonds shall have been issued, sold and delivered.
0) If the events set forth in paragraph (i) of this Section do not take place within the
times set forth therein or any extensions thereof and the Bonds are not issued as herein
contemplated, the Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this
Memorandum of Agreement by the Borrower, the fees and expenses of any underwriter,
financial consultant or adviser engaged by the Borrower, the fees, costs and expenses of Issuer's
Counsel, the fees, costs and expenses of Bond Counsel, and any necessary and reasonable out -of-
pocket costs and expenses incurred pursuant to this Memorandum of Agreement by the City;
whereupon this Memorandum of Agreement shall terminate.
(k) So long as this Memorandum of Agreement is in effect, all risk of loss to the
Project will be borne by the Borrower.
(1) It is expressly agreed that any pecuniary liability or obligation of the City
hereunder shall be limited solely to the revenues and other funds derived by the City from the
sale, operation or leasing of the Project, including payments received under the financing
agreements, and nothing contained in this Memorandum of Agreement shall ever be construed to
constitute a personal or pecuniary liability or charge against any member, officer, commissioner,
employee or agent of the City or its Commission, and in the event of a breach of any undertaking
on the part of the City contained in this Memorandum of Agreement, no personal or pecuniary
liability or charge payable directly or indirectly from any funds or property of the City shall arise
therefrom. The Borrower hereby releases the City from and agrees that the City shall not be
liable for, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the City harmless against any liabilities,
obligations, claims, damages, litigation, costs and expenses (including but not limited to
attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the City for any cause
whatsoever pertaining to the Project, the Bonds or this Memorandum of Agreement, or any
transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the scope and amount of the liability of
the Borrower under this sentence shall never exceed the scope and amount of the City's liability,
costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees). The provisions of this paragraph shall survive
any termination of this Memorandum of Agreement.
(m) If at any time prior to the issuance and sale of the Bonds the City shall determine
that the business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower is not satisfactory or that
either the Borrower is not proceeding diligently with the acquisition, construction, installation
and equipping of the Project or the financing thereof as contemplated hereby, the City may, at its
option, terminate this Memorandum of Agreement and any allocation for the Bonds by written
notice to the Borrower. The City shall be discharged of its undertakings under this
Memorandum of Agreement if the Borrower shall not provide at the closing for the issuance of
the Bonds assurances satisfactory to the City that no material adverse change has occurred in the
representations of the Borrower or in the business, operations or financial condition of the
Borrower.
(n) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (m) of this Section, the provisions of

Re: Proposed City of Ocoee, Florida Senior Living Facilities Revenue Bonds
(AllSports Senior Living Project), in a Principal Amount Not to Exceed
$35,000,000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as bond counsel in connection with the proposed issuance of the above -
referenced bonds (the "Bonds "). We have reviewed a copy of the Industrial Development
Revenue Bond Application submitted to the City of Ocoee, Florida (the "City ") by Windermere
Senior Living, LLC (the "Borrower "). We prepared the proposed resolution of the City
Commission of the City and the proposed Memorandum of Agreement between the City and the
Borrower accompanying this letter.
Following approval of the proposed financing by the City Commission of the City and
upon completion of the contemplated financing documents, certifications of various factual
matters and expectations, and closing of the issuance and sale of the Bonds in accordance with
applicable requirements of law, including, to the extent applicable, federal income tax laws, we
expect to deliver our customary bond approving opinion to the effect that the Bonds are validly
issued and to the effect that the interest on the Bonds to be issued as tax - exempt bonds is
excludable from gross income of the holder for federal income tax purposes. The Bonds will
require an allocation of the statewide private activity bond volume limitation.
Very truly yours,

SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR THIS RESOLUTION. This Resolution is
adopted pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 159, Part II, Florida Statutes, as amended, and
other applicable laws.
declared that:
SECTION 2. FINDINGS. It is hereby found, ascertained, determined and
A. The City of Ocoee, Florida (the "City ") is an incorporated municipality of
the State of Florida, is a "local agency" as defined in the Florida Industrial Development
Financing Act, Chapter 159, Part 11, Florida Statutes, as amended (the "Act "), and is duly
authorized and empowered by the Act to provide for the issuance of and to issue and sell its
revenue bonds for the purpose of financing all or any part of the "cost" of any "project,"
including any "health care facility" (as such terms are defined in the Act), in order to promote
and foster the economic growth and development of the City, of Orange County, Florida (the
"County "), and of the State of Florida (the "State "), to enhance and expand industry and other
economic activity in the City, the County and the State, and to increase purchasing power and
opportunities for gainful employment, to improve living conditions and to advance and
improve the prosperity and the welfare of the City, the County and the State and its inhabitants,
to foster the industrial and business development of the City, the County and the State, and to
otherwise provide for and contribute to the health, safety and welfare of the people of the City,
the County and the State.
B. Windermere Senior Living, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the
"Borrower "), has requested that the City Commission (the "Commission ") of the City take
preliminary official action expressing the City's intention, upon the Borrower meeting certain
mandatory prerequisites, to issue and sell its Senior Living Facilities Revenue Bonds (AllSports
Senior Living Project), in one or more tax - exempt or taxable series, in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $35,000,000 (the "Bonds "), in order to (i) finance the acquisition,
construction, installation and equipping of senior living facilities which will contain
approximately 72 assisted living units, approximately 48 memory support units, and related
common areas, consisting of the acquisition of approximately 6.74 acres of land, the
construction of a three -story building containing approximately 116,000 square feet, and the
acquisition and installation of related facilities, fixtures, furnishings and equipment, to be
located at 11801 Roberson Road, Winter Garden, Florida 34787, in the City of Ocoee, Orange
County, Florida, and to be owned by the Borrower and managed by LivingVentures
Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, (ii) pay capitalized interest, if any, on
the Bonds, (iii) fund debt service reserves, if any, for the Bonds and (iv) pay certain costs of
issuance relating to the Bonds (collectively, the "Project "). The Bonds, if issued, will not be a
general debt or liability of the City or a debt, liability or other obligation of the County, the
State, or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely from the proceeds derived
from the repayment of the related loan or loans, or from the other security pledged therefore.
C. The Borrower has requested that the City enter into a loan or other
financing agreement between the City and the Borrower (the "Financing Agreement "), whereby
the Borrower will be unconditionally obligated to operate, repair and maintain the Project, to
make payments sufficient to pay the debt service on the Bonds and to indemnify the City and
pay all other costs incurred by the City in connection with the financing and the acquisition,
construction, installation and administration of the Project, which are not paid out of proceeds
of the Bonds or otherwise. It is expected that the interest on the Bonds which are to be issued as
tax - exempt bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under
the laws of the United States of America.
D. A public hearing on the Borrower's application has been duly held on this
day by the Commission, upon public notice published in a newspaper of general circulation in
2
the City which was published not less than 14 days prior to this scheduled date for such public
hearing. A copy of the publisher's affidavit in proof of publication of such notice is attached
hereto as Exhibit A . At said hearing members of the public were afforded reasonable
opportunity to be heard on all matters pertaining to the location and nature of the proposed
Project and to the issuance of the Bonds, and upon consideration of the information furnished
by the Borrower and other available information, including the information and views
presented at such public hearing, the Commission has made the following findings and
determinations:
(1) The Project will constitute a capital project for a "health care
facility" and a "project" within the meaning of the Act. The costs of the Project to be paid from
proceeds of the Bonds will be "costs" of a "project" within the meaning of the Act.
(2) The Project will serve a paramount public purpose by: promoting
and fostering the economic growth and development of the City, the County and the State;
enhancing and expanding industry and other economic activity in the City, the County and the
State; increasing purchasing power and opportunities for gainful employment; improving
living conditions and to advance and improve the prosperity and the welfare of the City, the
County and the State and its inhabitants; fostering the industrial and business development of
the City, the County and the State; and otherwise providing for and contributing to the health,
safety and welfare of the people of the City, the County and the State.
(3) It is proposed that the City and the Borrower enter into a
memorandum of agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the "Memorandum of
Agreement "), providing, among other things, for the Bonds to be issued and sold upon the
terms and conditions hereof and thereof; for the use and application of the proceeds of sale of
the Bonds to pay all or any part of the "cost" (as defined in the Act) of the Project, to the extent
of such proceeds; for a loan or other financing agreement between the City and the Borrower,
whereby the Borrower will be unconditionally obligated to operate, repair and maintain the
Project at no expense to the City, to make payments sufficient in the aggregate to pay all of the
principal of and interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds, and to indemnify the
City and pay all other costs incurred by the City in connection with the financing, acquisition,
construction, installation and administration of the Project which are not paid out of the Bond
proceeds or otherwise; and for such other financing agreements, indentures, and related
agreements as shall be necessary or appropriate.
(4) The purposes of the Act will be more effectively served if, and it is
necessary and desirable and in the best interest of the City that, the Memorandum of
Agreement be executed and delivered by and on behalf of the City.
(5) The Commission is the elected legislative body of the City and has
jurisdiction over the area in which the Project will be located.

SECTION 3. PRELIMINARY APPROVAL. This Resolution is adopted to
provide an expression of intention by the City, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, to issue and
sell the Bonds and make the proceeds thereof available to finance all or a part of the qualifying
costs of the Project, including the costs of issuing the Bonds, all in accordance with and subject
to the provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Florida, including the Act
and this Resolution, but subject in all respects to the City being satisfied that the Project
complies with the criteria and requirements enumerated in Section 159.29 of the Act and the
terms, conditions, placement criteria, proof of feasibility and limitations contained in a
subsequent resolution of the City (the "Details Resolution. "), compliance with such terms,
conditions and limitations to be determined by the City in its sole discretion. This Resolution is
not a binding commitment by the City to issue the Bonds and nothing herein is intended, or
shall be deemed, to obligate the City to issue the Bonds.
SECTION 4. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS; SCOPE OF APPROVAL. The
Bonds are hereby authorized to be issued by the City, if so requested by the Borrower and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Resolution, the Memorandum of Agreement and the
Details Resolution, in one or more series of such revenue bonds in an aggregate principal
amount not to exceed $35,000,000 for the purpose of financing all or a part of the qualifying
costs of the Project as described herein, including the costs of issuing the Bonds. The rate or
rates of interest payable on the Bonds shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.
It is expressly stated and agreed that the adoption of this Resolution is not a
guaranty, express or implied, that the City shall approve the issuance of the Bonds for the
Project, but is solely an expression of the intent of the City to do so if the conditions referred to
in this Resolution, the Memorandum of Agreement and the Details Resolution are satisfied to
the satisfaction of the City. The Borrower shall hold the City and its past, present and future
City Commission members, officers, staff, attorneys, financial advisors and employees harmless
from any liability or claim based upon the failure of the City to close the transaction and issue
the Bonds or any other cause of action arising from the adoption of this Resolution, the
processing of the financing for the Project, or the issuance of the Bonds. Furthermore, the
authorization provided herein and any approval by the City of the issuance of the Bonds to
finance the Project pursuant hereto shall not be construed as (i) an endorsement of the general
creditworthiness of the Borrower or the financial viability of the Project; (ii) a recommendation
to any prospective purchaser to purchase the Bonds; (iii) an evaluation of the likelihood of the
repayment of the debt service on the Bonds; or (iv) approval of any necessary rezoning
applications or approval or acquiescence to the alteration of existing zoning or land use nor
approval for any other regulatory permits relating to the Project, and the City shall not be
construed by reason of its adoption of this Resolution or any approval by the City pursuant
hereto, to make any such endorsement, finding or recommendation or to have waived any right
of the City or to have estopped the City from asserting any rights or responsibilities it may have
in such regard.
M
The City hereby appoints Bryant Miller Olive P.A. to act as Bond Counsel to the
City in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Fees and costs of the City's Bond Counsel
shall be the responsibility of the Borrower.
SECTION 5. LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITY. The Bonds and the
premium, if any, and the interest thereon shall not be deemed to constitute a general debt,
liability or obligation of the City, the County or the State or any political subdivision thereof, or
a pledge of the faith and credit of the City, the County or the State or any political subdivision
thereof, but shall be payable solely from the revenues and other security provided therefor
pursuant to the Financing Agreement with the Borrower, and the City is not obligated to pay
the Bonds, the premium, if any, or the interest thereon except from such sources and neither the
faith and credit of the City, nor the faith and credit or taxing power of the County, the State or
any political subdivision thereof is pledged the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Bonds.
SECTION 6. AUTHORIZATION OF MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT.
The execution and delivery of a Memorandum of Agreement between the City and the
Borrower, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, is hereby authorized and
approved. The form of the Memorandum of Agreement is hereby approved, subject to such
changes, insertions, deletions and filling of blanks therein as may be approved by the officers of
the City executing the same, such execution to be conclusive evidence of such approval. The
Mayor of the City is hereby authorized and directed, in the name and on behalf of the City, to
execute and deliver said Memorandum of Agreement, and the City Clerk or Deputy City Clerk
of the City is hereby authorized and directed to attest the same and to affix thereto the official
seal of the City.
SECTION 7. VALIDATION. The Bonds shall not be required to be validated
pursuant to Chapter 75, Florida Statutes, as amended; provided, however, that if required by
the City's counsel or bond counsel, the Bonds may be validated and in such event the City's
counsel and bond counsel are hereby authorized, at the expense of the Borrower, to prepare and
file validation proceedings on behalf of the City and to take any and all action as City's counsel
may deem necessary or desirable for the validation of the Bonds.
SECTION 8. APPROVAL OF BONDS FOR PURPOSES OF SECTION 147(f)
OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; ALLOCATION OF PRIVATE ACTIVITY BOND
LIMITATION. The Commission hereby approves the issuance of the Bonds for purposes of
Section 147(f) of the Code. The City approves the filing of a request for an allocation of the state
volume limitation imposed on private activity bonds under Section 146 of the Code, pursuant to
and in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 159, Part VI, Florida Statutes, as amended (the
"Florida Private Activity Bond Allocation Act "). The City hereby authorizes and directs the
Mayor, counsel to the City and the bond counsel, either alone or jointly, at the expense of the
Borrower, to file such request and to seek such allocation for the issuance of the Bonds in
accordance with the provisions of the Florida Private Activity Bond Allocation Act.
5
SECTION 9. PRIORITY. Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the City or
the State of Florida or any agency or political subdivision thereof in determining the order or
priority of the issuance of bonds by the City or to require the City to give the Bonds priority as
to the time of issuance over any other bonds previously or subsequently approved by the City
for issuance, and such prioritization by the City could result in the inability of the City to issue
the Bonds.
SECTION 10. EXPRESSION OF INTENT; COSTS. This Resolution constitutes
a declaration of the official intent of the City, within the contemplation of Section 1.150 -2 of the
Income Tax Regulations promulgated by the Department of the Treasury, to permit the
Borrower to use proceeds of the Bonds to reimburse itself for planning, design, legal any other
costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the cost of acquiring real estate, originally
paid by the Borrower in connection with acquisition, construction and equipping of the Project
with funds other than proceeds of the Bonds prior to the issuance of the Bonds (the "Advanced
Funds ").
All of the expenditures initially to be made with the Advanced Funds and then
to be reimbursed by the Borrower from proceeds of the Bonds will be for costs of a type
properly chargeable to the capital account of the Project under general income tax principles,
nonrecurring working capital expenditures (of a type not customarily payable from current
revenues), or costs of issuing the Bonds. Other than any preliminary expenditures for
architectural, engineering, surveying, soil testing, costs of issuing the Bonds or similar purposes
that may have been paid more than sixty days prior to the date of this Resolution, no
expenditures to be reimbursed have been paid more than sixty days earlier than the date of this
Resolution.
All costs of the issuance of the Bonds shall be the responsibility of the Borrower,
including, but not limited to the City's counsel and Bond Counsel. The Borrower shall pay the
City a $5,000 up front application fee for the preliminary costs and the time expended by City
staff for the application and processing.
SECTION 11. REPEALING CLAUSE. All resolutions or orders and parts
thereof in conflict herewith, to the extent of such conflict, are hereby superseded and repealed.
SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE. This resolution shall take effect immediately.

all or any part of the "cost" of any "project," including any "health care facility" (as provided by
and defined in the Act).
(b) The Borrower proposes that the City issue and sell its Senior Living Facilities
Revenue Bonds (AllSports Senior Living Project), in one or more tax - exempt or taxable series, in
an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $35,000,000 (the "Bonds "), in order to make a loan
to the Borrower to (i) finance the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of
approximately 72 assisted living units, approximately 48 memory support units and related
common areas, consisting of the acquisition of approximately 6.74 acres of land, the
construction of a three -story building containing approximately 116,000 square feet, and the
acquisition and installation of related facilities, fixtures, furnishings and equipment, to be
located at 11801 Roberson Road, Winter Garden, Florida 34787, in the City of Ocoee, Orange
County, Florida, and to be owned by the Borrower and managed by LivingVentures
Management, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, (ii) pay capitalized interest, if any, on
the Bonds, (iii) fund debt service reserves, if any, for the Bonds and (iv) pay certain costs of
issuance relating to the Bonds (collectively, the "Project "). The Bonds, if issued, will not be a
general debt or liability of the City or a debt, liability or other obligation of Orange County,
Florida (the "County "), the State of Florida (the "State ") or any political subdivision of the State,
but shall be payable solely from the proceeds derived from the repayment of the related loan or
loans, or from the other security pledged therefore.
(c) The Borrower represents that the Project constitutes a capital project for a "health
care facility" and a "project" within the meaning of the Act; and that the Project will provide
employment in the City and the State by creating more than 100 full -time jobs during the
construction of the Project and, following the completion of the Project and issuance of
certificates of occupancy, creating approximately 65 permanent jobs. The Borrower represents
that the Project will also result in an increase in the City's ad valorem tax base.
(d) The Borrower proposes that the City express its intention to issue the Bonds for
the purpose of financing all or a part of the "cost" (as defined in the Act) of the Project. It is
expected that the interest on the Bonds to be issued as tax - exempt bonds will be excluded from
1
gross income for federal income tax purposes under the laws of the United States of America,
including, without limitation, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code ").
(e) The Borrower proposes that the City and the Borrower enter into a loan or other
financing agreement or agreements, whereby the Borrower will be unconditionally obligated to
operate, repair and maintain the Project, to make payments sufficient to pay the debt service on
the Bonds and to indemnify and pay all other costs incurred by the City in connection with the
financing and the acquisition, construction, installation and administration of the Project, which
are not paid out of the Bond proceeds or otherwise.
(f) The City Commission (the "Commission "), by resolution (the "Preliminary
Resolution ") duly passed and adopted on June [181, 2013, has made certain findings and
determinations and has duly approved and authorized the execution and delivery of this
Memorandum of Agreement.
(g) The Preliminary Resolution was adopted by the Commission to provide an
expression of intention by the City, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, to issue and sell the
Bonds and make the proceeds thereof available to finance all or a part of the qualifying costs of
the Project, including the cost of issuing the Bonds, all in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Florida, including the Act and the
Preliminary Resolution, but subject in all respects to the City being satisfied that the Project
complies with the criteria and requirements enumerated in Section 159.29, Florida Statutes and
the terms, conditions and limitations contained in a subsequent resolution of the City (the
"Details Resolution "), compliance with such terms, conditions and limitations to be determined
by the City in its sole discretion. Neither the Preliminary Resolution nor this Memorandum of
Agreement is a binding commitment by the City to issue the Bonds and nothing in the
Preliminary Resolution or in this Memorandum of Agreement is intended, or shall be deemed,
to obligate the City to issue the Bonds.
(h) This Memorandum of Agreement is entered into to permit the Borrower to
proceed with commitments for the Project and to incur costs in connection with various phases
of the Project (including the costs of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of
the Project and related expenses), to provide a declaration of official intent by the City to
reimburse certain capital expenditures in connection with the Project which will be paid by the
Borrower prior to the issuance of the Bonds (the "Temporary Advances ") in accordance with
Treasury Regulation § 1.150 -2 under the Code and an expression of intention by the City, prior
to the issuance of the Bonds, to issue and sell the Bonds and make the proceeds thereof
available to finance all or a part of the cost of the Project, to the extent of such proceeds, all in
accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Constitution, other laws of the State
(including, without limitation, the Act), the Code and this Memorandum of Agreement.
(i) The Borrower represents that, as of the date hereof, it expects to be reimbursed
for any Temporary Advances with proceeds of the Bonds loaned by the City to the Borrower,
such reimbursement from the proceeds of the Bonds to occur not later than 18 months after the
2
later of (a) the date the Temporary Advance is paid or (b) the date the Project is placed in
service or abandoned, but in no event more than three years after the Temporary Advance is
paid. The Borrower represents that each Temporary Advance will be a cost of the Project of a
type that is properly chargeable to a capital account (or would be so chargeable with a proper
election or with the application of the definition of "placed in service" in Treasury Department
Regulation Section 1.150 -2(c) under the Code) under general federal income tax principles.
2. Intentions on the Part of the City. Pursuant to, in accordance with and subject to
the limitations of the Constitution, other laws of the State of Florida (including, without
limitation, the Act), and the Code, and upon the conditions stated in the Preliminary Resolution,
the Details Resolution or in this Memorandum of Agreement, the City intends as follows:
(a) The City will cooperate with the Borrower and its agents in the Borrower's efforts
to find one or more credit enhancers or purchasers for the Bonds, and if purchase arrangements
satisfactory to the City and the Borrower can be made by the Borrower and its agents and if the
Borrower meets all of the prerequisites established by the City for the issuance of the Bonds, the
City will authorize the issuance and sale of the Bonds, and will use its reasonable efforts to issue
and sell the Bonds, all upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Borrower
and the City and authorized by law; provided, liouvever, that in the event and during the time in
which the Bonds are not rated in one of the three highest rating categories by at least one
nationally recognized credit rating agency, the City will approve the sale of the Bonds only in
denominations of $100,000 or higher and solely to accredited investors which will at no time
cause the Bonds to be offered for sale to the general public (unless the Bonds are then rated in
one of the three highest rating categories by a nationally recognized rating agency).
(b) The City will, at the proper time and subject in all respects to the prior advice,
consent and approval of the Borrower, adopt such proceedings and authorize the execution of
such documents as may be necessary and advisable for the authorization, sale and issuance of
the Bonds, the acquisition, construction and installation of the Project and the financing of the
Project, all as shall be provided for or permitted by the Code, the Act, and the Florida Private
Activity Bond Allocation Act, Chapter 159, Part VI, Florida Statutes, and as mutually
satisfactory to the City and the Borrower. The Bonds are to be issued under a trust indenture
between the City and a trust company, bank or other qualified trustee having trust powers
(which shall be qualified to serve as trustee under such indenture, under all applicable laws,
and be designated by the Borrower with the approval of the City), as Trustee, pursuant to
which the Trustee shall receive and disburse the proceeds from the sale of Bonds, collect
payments from the Borrower under the financing agreements and enforce its obligations under
the financing agreements. The Bonds shall not be deemed to constitute a debt, liability or
obligation, or a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power, of the City, the County or of the
State or of any political subdivision thereof, but the Bonds shall be payable solely from the
revenues and proceeds to be derived by the City from the sale, operation or leasing of the
Project, including payments received under the financing agreements. The Bonds shall be
issued in such aggregate principal amount, shall bear interest at such rate or rates, shall be
payable at such times and places, shall be in such forms and denominations, shall be sold in
3
such manner, at such price and at such time or times, shall have such provisions for
redemption, shall be executed, and shall be secured by the obligations of the Borrower, as
hereafter may be requested by the Borrower and determined or provided for by the City, all on
terms complying with the Code and the Act and mutually satisfactory to the City and the
Borrower.
(c) The interest on the Bonds to be issued as tax - exempt bonds shall be excluded
from gross income for federal income tax purposes, as determined on the basis of an opinion of
bond counsel approved by the City.
(d) THE CITY MAKES NO WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO
THE PROJECT OR THE CONDITION THEREOF, OR THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE
SUITABLE FOR THE PURPOSES OR THE NEEDS OF THE BORROWER. THE CITY MAKES
NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE BORROWER
WILL HAVE QUIET OR PEACEFUL POSSESSION OF THE PROJECT THE CITY MAKES NO
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE
MERCHANTABILITY, CONDITION OR WORKMANSHIP OF ANY PART OF THE PROJECT
OR ITS SUITABILITY FOR THE BORROWER'S PURPOSES.
3. Agreements of the Borrower. Subject to the conditions stated in the Preliminary
Resolution, the Details Resolution or in this Memorandum of Agreement, the Borrower agrees
as follows:
(a) If the Borrower proceeds with the Project, the Borrower hereby acknowledges
and accepts that the Borrower shall be solely responsible for the acquisition, construction and
equipping of the Project, it being understood and agreed that the Borrower shall provide all
services incident to the construction and equipping of the Project (including, without limitation,
the preparation of plans, specifications and contract documents, the award of contracts, the
inspection and supervision of work performed, the employment of engineers, architects,
building and other contractors) and that the Borrower shall pay all costs of the Development,
subject to reimbursement by the City upon the issuance and sale of the Bonds, from and to the
extent of the available proceeds thereof, as permitted by applicable State law and federal tax
law, and the use and application of such proceeds as provided above. The City shall have no
responsibility for the provision of the aforesaid services. The Borrower agrees that to the extent
that the proceeds derived from the sale of the Bonds are not sufficient to complete the Project,
the Borrower, as the owner of the Project, will be responsible for supplying all additional funds
which are necessary for the completion of the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties acknowledge that the Borrower shall have no obligation to construct the Project unless
the Bonds are issued as contemplated hereby.
(b) Subject to the provisions and limitations contained in this Memorandum of
Agreement, the Borrower will make arrangements for the sale of the Bonds and shall be
responsible for compliance with all applicable securities laws, including any disclosure
obligations, in connection with the offering and sale thereof.

the financing agreements and such other agreements and related documents as shall be

the Project at its own expense, to pay for the account of the City sums sufficient in the aggregate
to pay all of the principal of and interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds when
and as the same shall become due and payable, and to pay all other costs incurred by the City in
connection with the financing of the acquisition, construction, equipping and administration of
the Project which are not paid out of Bond proceeds or otherwise.

Commission members and staff and its agents against any and all liability, loss, costs, expenses,
charges, claims, damages and attorney's fees and expenses of whatever kind or nature, which
the City, its City Commission members or Staff or its agents may incur or sustain by reason or
consequence of the relationships existing between the City and the Borrower with respect to the
execution, delivery or performance of this Memorandum of Agreement, the consideration,
processing or analysis of the proposed financing, the authorization, offering, issuance or sale of
the Bonds, or the acquisition, construction or operation of the Project; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for a party's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Borrower releases the City, the City Commission members and officers of the
City and the agents, attorneys and employees of the City from any liability, loss, cost, expense,
charge, claim, damage and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses which may result from the

its option, terminate this Memorandum of Agreement and any allocation for the Bonds by
written notice to the Borrower. The City shall be discharged of its undertakings under this
