to exceed $5,000,000 for the purpose of drawing down funds over time in order to pay the costs

authorized to execute and deliver the Commitment to the Original Purchaser. Prior to the
issuance of the Note, the Issuer shall receive from the Original Purchaser a Purchaser's
Certificate, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and the Disclosure Letter

delivery, which shall be a date agreed upon by the Issuer and the Original Purchaser, subject to
the following terms:
(A) Interest Rate. The Note shall initially have a variable interest rate equal to 77%
of one month LIB OR plus 44 basis points (subject to adjustment as described below, the

calculated on a 30/360 day basis; provided, however, that such interest rate shall in no event
exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by the Act. The Variable Interest Rate shall be
reset monthly on the first business day of each month for that month,
(B) Adjustments of Interest Rate, If the interest on the Note becomes includable in
the gross income of the Owner for Federal income tax purposes (an "Event of Taxability") or
because of the enactment of any amendments to existing law, the effect of which would
adversely affect the Owner's after-tax yield, then the Owner shall have the right to adjust the
Interest Rate in order to maintain the same after-tax yield as if the events had not occurred.
Furthermore, in the event of a change in the Maximum Corporate Tax Rate, the Original
Purchaser shall have the right to adjust the interest rate in order to maintain the same after tax
yield This adjustment shall survive payment of the Note until such time as the federal statute
of limitations under which the interest on the Note could be declared taxable under the Code
shall have expired, For so long as this Note is owned by the Owner, the Interest Rate set forth
above assumes a maximum corporate tax rate of 35%. In the event of a change in the maximum
corporate tax rate, so long as this Note is owned by the Owner, or its successors and assigns,
the Owner shall have the right to adjust such Interest Rate in order to maintain the same after-
tax yield.

annually, commencing April 1, 2007, and on each April 1 and October 1 thereafter (each an
"Interest Payment Date") until maturity,

the Note shall be imposed on every payment not received by the Owner within 14 days of its
due date.

the Note is outstanding, and the total principal amounts drawn by the Issuer together with all
accrued and unpaid interest hereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date,
(F) The Note is to be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto,
together with such non-material changes as shall be approved by the Mayor, such approval to
be conclusively evidenced by the execution thereof by the Mayor. The Note shall be executed
on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor and the City
Manager and the official seal of the Issuer, and be attested and countersigned with the manual
or facsimile signature of the City Attorney, In case anyone or more of the officers who shall
have signed or sealed the Note or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon shall cease to
be such officer of the Issuer before the Note so signed and sealed has been actually sold and
delivered, such Note may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided and may be
issued as if the person who signed or sealed such Note had not ceased to hold such office, The
Note may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such person who at the actual time of
the execution of such Note shall hold the proper office of the Issuer, although, at the date of
such Note, such person may not have held such office or may not have been so authorized,
The Issuer may adopt and use for such purposes the facsimile signatures of any such persons
who shall have held such offices at any time after the date of the adoption of this Resolution,
notwithstanding that either or both shall have ceased to hold such office at the time the Note
shall be actually sold and delivered.
(G) Interest begins to accrue against the principal amounts drawn by the Issuer
pursuant to Section 10 hereof upon the date of the draw by a Requisition,
Section 6: Registration and Exchange of Note; Persons Treated as Owner, The Note is
initially registered to the Original Purchaser. So long as the Note shall remain unpaid, the
Clerk will keep books for the registration and transfer of the Note. The Note shall be
transferable only upon such registration books,
The Person in whose name the Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded
as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of principal and interest on such
Note shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Owner. All such payments shall be
valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum
or sums so paid.
Section 7: Payment of Principal and Interest; Limited Obligation. The Issuer promises that
it will promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Note at the place, on the dates and in
the manner provided therein according to the true intent and meaning hereof and thereof, The
5
Note shall not be or constitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the Issuer as a "bond"
within the meaning of Article VII, Section 12 of the Constitution of Florida, but shall be payable
solely from the Pledged Revenues in accordance with the terms hereof. No holder of any Note
issued hereunder shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing
power to pay such Note, or be entitled to payment of such Note from any funds of the Issuer
except from the Pledged Revenues as described herein,
Section 8: Prepayment. The Note may be prepaid by the Issuer at any time without
penalty or premium.
Section 9: Covenant to Budget and Appropriate, (A) Subject to the next paragraph, the
Issuer covenants and agrees to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary,
from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the
Note not being paid from other amounts as the same shall become due, Such covenant and
agreement on the part of the Issuer to budget and appropriate such amounts of Non-Ad
Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all
such required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. No lien
upon or pledge of such budgeted Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall be in effect until such
monies are budgeted and appropriated, The Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that the
obligations of the Issuer to include the amount of any deficiency in payments in each of its
annual budgets and to pay such deficiencies from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues may be enforced
in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the remedies set forth herein,
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of
such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the Issuer from pledging in the future its
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the Issuer to levy and collect any particular
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the holder of the Note a prior claim on the Non-
Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the Issuer. Such covenant to
budget and appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the prior
payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or
hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt
instruments), Anything in this Resolution to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood
and agreed that all obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be payable from the portion of
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues budgeted and appropriated as provided for hereunder and
nothing herein shall be deemed to pledge ad valorem tax revenues or to permit or constitute a
mortgage or lien upon any assets owned by the Issuer and no holder of the Note nor any other
person, may compel the levy of ad valorem taxes on real or personal property within the
boundaries of the Issuer. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Resolution or the Note to the
contrary, the Issuer shall never be obligated to maintain or continue any of the activities of the
Issuer which generate user service charges, regulatory fees or any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues.
Except as provided hereafter, neither this Resolution nor the obligations of the Issuer
6
hereunder shall be construed as a pledge of or a lien on all or any legally available Non-Ad
Valorem Revenues of the Issuer, but shall be payable solely as provided herein and is subject in
all respects to the provisions of Section 166.241, Florida Statutes, and is subject, further, to the
payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health,
welfare and safety of the inhabitants of the Issuer.
(B) During such time as this Note is outstanding which is secured by the covenant
to budget and appropriate legally available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, the Issuer agrees and
covenants with the Owner not to issue debt payable from such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues
unless the ratio of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues (average of actual receipts over the prior two
years) to projected maximum annual debt service on debt secured by and/or payable solely
from such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues is at least 1.25x for the preceding twelve (12) months,
calculated in accordance with the terms of the formula below, The Issuer agrees that, as soon
as practicable upon the issuance of debt by the Issuer which is secured by its Non-Ad Valorem
Revenues, it shall deliver to the Original Purchaser a certificate setting forth the calculations of
the financial ratios provided in this section and certifying that it is in compliance with the
provisions of this section.
The debt service coverage formula shall be calculated as follows:
[Total General Fund Revenues +Operating Transfers In-Ad Valorem Revenues (General
Fund)]-[General Government Expenditures (General Fund) + Public Safety
Expenditures (General Fund)- Ad Valorem Revenues (General Fund)]
Maximum Annual Debt Service for both the existing and proposed Debt

of notice or the passage of time would constitute an event of default under Section 18 hereof,
then exists, make a Requisition in an amount of $250,000 or more under the Note (unless said

the purposes stated hereunder in an amount that, when combined with prior Requisitions,
shall not exceed the $5,000,000 face amount of the Note, The Issuer shall not make more than
two Requisitions on the Note in any given calendar month. Such Requisition shall be in
accordance with the Form of Requisition attached hereto as Exhibit E, An amount drawn on
the Note reduces the amount available to be drawn and may not be re-drawn even if principal
