-5-
(a) No Pledge of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. 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 of Non-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-
AdValorem 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 ofissuance of such proposed indebtedness, (ii) fortax-exempt debt,
The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index last published in the month preceding the date ofissuance 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 of the 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 in compliance
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, Destroved 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 ation. 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 anypayment 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
