Without the prior written consent of the Bank, the Borrower shall not hereafter request any Advance hereunder or incur any indebtedness payable from any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues (which includes any increases in the outstanding amount under any line of credit or similar arrangement), other than any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues accounted for in an enterprise fund under governmental accounting principles, which could, but for such future indebtedness, be lawfully used to pay principal of or interest on the Notes ("Enterprise Revenues") (any and all such indebtedness payable from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, other than Enterprise Revenues, whether now existing or incurred in the future, is referred to as "Competing Debt"),unless (i) the amount ofNon-Ad Valorem Revenues, other than Enterprise Revenues, if any, received by the Borrower during the fiscal year of the Borrower most recently concluded prior to the date of such Advance or the incurrence of such indebtedness for which audited financial statements are available, minus the excess, if any, of the expenditures by the Borrower for Essential Government Services for such fiscal year over the amount of ad valorem taxes (other than any ad valorem taxes levied pursuant to referendum approval by the electorate) received by the Borrower in such fiscal year, equals or exceeds 200% of the maximum amount of principal and interest scheduled to be payable on the Notes (including the amount of the Advance being requested) and all Competing Debt (including the proposed debt) during the then current or any future fiscal year and (ii) an Authorized Individual certifies in writing to the Bank that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred which would cause him or her to believe that the amount ofNon- Ad Valorem Revenues, other than any Enterprise Revenues, to be received in any future fiscal year minus the excess, if any, of the expenditures by the Borrower for Essential Government Services for such fiscal year over the amount of ad valorem taxes (other than any ad valorem taxes levied pursuant to referendum approval by the electorate) received by the Borrower in such fiscal year, would be less than 200% of the amount of principal and interest scheduled to be payable on the Notes and all Competing Debt during such fiscal year. For purposes of calculating the foregoing, if any indebtedness bears a rate of interest that is not fixed for the entire term of the debt (excluding any provisions that adjust the interest rate upon a change in tax law or in the tax treatment of interest on the debt or upon a default), then the interest rate on such indebtedness shall be assumed to be the highest of (i) the average rate of actual interest borne by such indebtedness during the most recent complete month prior to the date of issuance of such proposed indebtedness, (ii) fortax-exempt debt, The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index last published in the month preceding the date of issuance of such proposed indebtedness plus one percent, (iii) for taxable debt, the yield on a U.S. Treasury obligation with a constant maturity closest to but not before the maturity date of such indebtedness, as reported in Statistical Release H.15 of the Federal Reserve on the last day ofthe month preceding the date of issuance of such proposed indebtedness, plus three percent, provided that if the Borrower shall have entered into an interest rate swap or interest rate cap or shall have taken any other action which has the effect of fixing or capping the interest rate on such indebtedness for the entire term thereof, then such fixed or capped rate shall be used as the applicable rate for the period of such swap or cap, and provided further that if The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index or Statistical Release H.15 of the Federal Reserve is no longer available or no longer contains the necessary data, such other comparable source of comparable data as selected by the Bank shall be utilized in the foregoing calculations. Except as provided in Section 3.02(c), nothing in this Agreement limits the Borrower's ability to incur indebtedness payable from Enterprise Revenues. -6- (b) No Adverse Borrowings. The Borrower shall not issue or incur any indebtedness or obligation if such would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Borrower to pay debt service on the Notes or any other amounts owing by the Borrower under this Agreement. (c) No System Debt. The Borrower will not incur any indebtedness (i.e., obligations created by exercise of the borrowing power of the Borrower, and not including trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of operation of the System) payable from revenues of the System ("System Debt") unless (i) at the time such System Debt is incurred the Borrower is incompliance with the terms of any ordinance, resolution or contract which limits the Borrower's ability to incur System Debt, assuming for such purpose that in addition to any existing System Debt and the proposed System Debt, there is also outstanding $60,000,000 of System Debt (of which 64% is payable from the stormwater system revenues and 36% of which is payable from water and sewer system revenues, or such other portions as may be agreed upon in writing by the Borrower, the Bank and the Other Banks), which is bearing interest at a rate equal to The Bond Buyer 20 Revenue Bond Index rate published most recently prior to the date such System Debt is to be incurred and which is being repaid in 20 equal annual installments due on the date one year after the date such proposed System Debt is to be incurred and each anniversary of such date, (ii) concurrent with the incurrence of such indebtedness the entire outstanding principal and interest of the Notes and the Other Bank Notes are repaid and this Agreement is terminated or (iii) the total principal and interest scheduled to be paid on all indebtedness of the System in any fiscal year of the Borrower is not greater after the incurrence of such indebtedness than it was before the incurrence of such indebtedness. Section 3.03. Bank Fees and Expenses. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay (i) a closing fee to the Bank in the amount of $20,000.00 and (ii) the fee of counsel to the Bank in connection with the issuance of the Notes in the amount of $5,833.33, said amounts to be due and payable upon the issuance of the Notes. In addition, the Borrower will pay the Bank an annual fee (the "Unused Facility Fee") equal to 80 basis points (0.80%) of the unfunded amount of the Loan, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed, payable in arrears as of last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2009, and on the date on which this Agreement terminates. Section 3.04. Registration and Exchange of Notes; Persons Treated as Banks. The Notes are owned by the Bank. The ownership of the Notes may only be transferred, and the Borrower will transfer the ownership of the Notes, upon written request of the Bank specifying the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee, and the Borrower will keep a record setting forth the identification of the owner of the Notes. The Bank will not transfer the Notes except in compliance with all applicable laws and the Bank may only transfer both Notes to the same transferee and at the same time. Section 3.05. Notes Mutilated, Destroyed Stolen or Lost In case a Note shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Borrower shall issue and deliver a new Note having the same terms as the Note mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and in substitution for such mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note destroyed, stolen or lost and upon the -7- Bank furnishing the Borrower proof of ownership thereof and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and paying such expenses as the Borrower may incur. Section 3.06. Payment of Principal and Interest: Limited Obli ag t`. The Borrower promises that it will promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Notes at the place, on the dates and in the manner provided therein, provided that the Borrower may be compelled to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes solely from the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues budgeted and appropriated for such purpose as provided herein, and nothing in the Notes or this Loan Agreement shall be construed as pledging any other funds or assets of the Borrower to such payment. Nothing herein shall, however, prevent the Borrower from using any lawfully available funds to pay its obligations hereunder and under the Notes. The covenant to budget and appropriate does not create a lien upon or pledge of the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. The Borrower is not and shall not be liable for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes or for the performance of any pledge, obligation or agreement for payment undertaken by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes from any property other than the Budgeted Revenues. The Bank shall not have any right to resort to legal or equitable action to require or compel the Borrower to make any payment required by the Notes or this Loan Agreement from any source other than the Budgeted Revenues. The Borrower covenants that, so long as Notes shall remain unpaid or any other amounts are owed by the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, it will appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if required, from the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, amounts sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes and other amounts owed under this Agreement as the same shall become due. In the event that the amount previously budgeted for such purpose is ever insufficient to pay such principal and interest on the Notes and other amounts owed under this Agreement, the Borrower covenants to take immediate action to amend its budget so as to budget and appropriate an amount from the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues sufficient to pay such debt service on the Notes and such other amounts. Such covenants to budget and appropriate from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid and shall continue until such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues sufficient to make all required payments have been budgeted, appropriated and used to pay such debt service on the Notes and such other amounts. The Bank and the Borrower acknowledge the existence of Section 166.241, Florida Statutes, which prescribes the budgetary process of the Borrower and which prohibits any expenditure or contractual obligation therefor from being made or incurred except in pursuance of budgeted appropriations. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be obligated to maintain or continue any of the activities of the Borrower which generate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. In addition, in any fiscal year of the Borrower, the Borrower may pay or make provision for payment of the expenses of providing Essential Government Services of the Borrower due or coming due in such fiscal year from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues prior to being required to use any Non-Ad valorem Revenues to pay amounts due hereunder and under the Notes. Any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues which are restricted by a contract in existence on the date hereof from being used to payprincipal and interest on the Notes shall not be subject to the covenant to budget and appropriate. Any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues which are prohibited by a general or special law of the State in existence on the date hereof from being used to pay principal and interest -8- on the Notes shall not be subject to the covenant to budget and appropriate. Any source ofNon-Ad Valorem Revenues which is created after the date hereof and which is prohibited by a general or special law of the State from being used to pay principal and interest on the Notes shall not be subject to the covenant to budget and appropriate. Section 3.07 Officers and Employees of the Borrower Exempt from Personal Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Loan Agreement or the Notes or for any claim based hereon or thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any officer (which includes elected and appointed officials), agent or employee, as such, of the Borrower past, present or future, it being expressly understood (a) that the obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the Notes is solely a corporate one, limited as provided in the preceding Section 3.06, (b) that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the officers, agents, or employees, as such, of the Borrower, or any of them, under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or implied therefrom, and (c) that any and all such personal liability of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such officer, agent, or employee, as such, of the Borrower under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement and under the Notes, or implied therefrom, are waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Agreement and the issuance of the Notes on the part of the Borrower. Section 3.08. Business Davs. In any case where the due date of interest on or principal of the Notes is not a Business Day, then payment of such principal or interest need not be made on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that credit for payments made shall not be given until the payment is actually received by the Bank.
