hereby authorized to execute the Official Statement with respect to the Series 2015 Bonds (the
"Official Statement") on behalf of the Agency, in substantially the form of the Preliminary
Official Statement presented at this meeting with such changes, modifications, insertions and
omissions and such filling-in of blanks therein as shall be necessary to evidence the terms of the
Series 2015 Bonds or as may be approved by the Executive Director, with such execution to
constitute conclusive evidence of the Agency's approval of the Preliminary Official Statement
and the Official Statement. The use of the Preliminary Official Statement and the Official
Statement in the marketing and sale of the Series 2015 Bonds is hereby approved.
For the reasons stated in the recitals to this Resolution, the negotiated sale of the Series
2015 Bonds to the Underwriters is hereby authorized at a purchase price (not including original
issue premium or original issue discount) of not less than 99% of the aggregate principal amount
of the Series 2015 Bonds (the "Minimum Purchase Price") and at a true interest cost rate ("TIC")
not to exceed 6.50% (the "Maximum TIC"). The Executive Director, after consultation with the
Chief Financial Officer and the Financial Advisor, is hereby authorized to award the Series 2015
Bonds to the Underwriters at a purchase price of not less than the Minimum Purchase Price and
at a TIC not in excess of the Maximum TIC.
The Chairperson is hereby authorized to execute the Bond Purchase Agreement (the
"Bond Purchase Agreement") for the purchase of the Series 2015 Bonds by the Underwriters,
upon compliance by the Underwriters with any and all requirements of Florida Statutes, Section
218.385, in substantially the form presented at this meeting, subject to such changes,
modifications, insertions and omissions and such filling-in of blanks therein as may be necessary
to evidence the terms of the Series 2015 Bonds or as may be approved by the Executive Director,
after consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel. The execution and
delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreement by the Chairperson for and on behalf of the Agency
shall be conclusive evidence of the Agency's acceptance of the Underwriters proposal to
purchase the Series 2015 Bonds and approval of the Bond Purchase Agreement.
The Chairperson is hereby authorized to execute and deliver two Escrow Deposit
Agreements to provide for the defeasance, payment and, as applicable, redemption of the
Outstanding Prior Bonds (collectively, the "Escrow Deposit Agreements"), each with U.S. Bank
National Association, which is hereby appointed escrow agent thereunder (the "Escrow Agent"),
in substantially the forms presented at this meeting, subject to such changes, modifications,
insertions and omissions and such filling-in of blanks therein as may be determined and
approved by the Executive Director, after consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and the
General Counsel. To the extent provided in the Escrow Deposit Agreements, the purchase of
Defeasance Obligations (as defined in the Prior Bond Resolution) from the proceeds of the Series
11
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
2015 Bonds and any other available moneys in order to provide for the defeasance, payment and,
as applicable, redemption of the Outstanding Prior Bonds is hereby authorized and approved.
The execution and delivery of the Escrow Deposit Agreements by the Chairperson for and on
behalf of the Agency shall be conclusive evidence of the Agency's approval of the redemption
prior to maturity of any Outstanding Prior Bonds, the Escrow Deposit Agreements and the
purchase of any such Defeasance Obligations.
In accordance with the provisions of the Prior Bond Resolution, there is created pursuant
to each of the Escrow Deposit Agreements a separate Escrow Deposit Trust Fund (as defined in
each of the Escrow Deposit Agreements) to be held by the Escrow Agent, for the deposit of
proceeds of each such Series of Series 2015 Bonds and any other available moneys to be applied
as provided in each of the Escrow Deposit Agreements.
For the benefit of the holders and beneficial owners from time to time of the Series 2015
Bonds, the Agency agrees, in accordance with the Rule, to provide or cause to be provided such
annual financial information and operating data, financial statements and notices, in such
manner, as may be required for purposes of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule. In order to describe
and specify certain terms of the Agency's continuing disclosure agreement, the Executive
Director is hereby authorized and directed to enter into, execute and deliver, in the name and on
behalf of the Agency, a Disclosure Dissemination Agent Agreement (the "Continuing Disclosure
Agreement") with Digital Assurance Certification, L.L.C., which is hereby appointed as
disclosure dissemination agent with respect to the Series 2015 Bonds, in substantially the form
presented at this meeting, subject to such changes, modifications, insertions and omissions and
such filling-in of blanks therein as may be determined and approved by the Executive Director,
after consultation with the General Counsel. The execution and delivery of the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement by the Executive Director for and on behalf of the Agency shall be
conclusive evidence of the Agency's approval of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Resolution, any failure by the Agency or the City to
comply with any provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Agreement shall not constitute a
default under this Resolution and the remedies therefor shall be solely as provided in the
Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
The Executive Director is further authorized and directed to establish, or cause to be
established, procedures in order to ensure compliance by the Agency with the Continuing
Disclosure Agreement, including the timely provision of information and notices. Prior to
making any filing in accordance with such agreement, the Executive Director may consult with,
as appropriate, the General Counsel or the Agency's disclosure counsel. The Executive Director,
acting in the name and on behalf of the Agency, shall be entitled to rely upon any_legal advice
provided by General Counsel of the Agency or the Agency's disclosure counsel in determining
whether a filing should be made.
SECTION 202. DESCRIPTION OF BONDS. Unless otherwise specified by the Agency
in subsequent proceedings, any Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution shall be issued in fully
registered form and, if the Registrar issues notice of the availability of exchanging registered
Bonds for coupon Bonds, in coupon form. If the Registrar receives an opinion of counsel of
recognized standing in the field of law relating to municipal bonds to the effect that the issuance
of any of the Bonds in coupon form will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for
12
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
federal income tax purposes of the interest on any Tax-Exempt Bonds, the Registrar may, at the
written direction of the Agency, mail notice to the registered owners of the Bonds of the
availability of exchanging registered Bonds for coupon Bonds. Registered Bonds may then be
exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of coupon Bonds of the same Series and
maturity of any authorized denomination and coupon Bonds may be exchanged for an equal
aggregate principal amount in the manner provided in this Resolution.
Unless otherwise specified by the Agency in subsequent proceedings, the Bonds of a
Series shall be dated as set forth in a Chairperson's Certificate as to the Series 2015 Bonds and
pursuant to subsequent resolution of the Agency as to the issuance of any other Series of Bonds;
shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America that is legal tender at the
time of such payment; shall bear interest from their date at a fixed rate not exceeding the legal
rate per annum, with interest paid to the registered Holder thereof on each Interest Payment Date
by the Paying Agent at the address shown on the registration books of the Agency (held by the
Registrar) at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar month preceding an Interest
Payment Date or any other date with respect to any Series of Bonds as may be determined
pursuant to subsequent resolution of the Agency (in each case a "Regular Record Date"); shall be
in denominations of$5,000 or any integral multiples thereof as to the Series 2015 Bonds and as
determined pursuant to subsequent resolution of the Agency relating to the issuance of any other
Series of Bonds; and shall mature on such dates, in such years and in such amounts, as set forth
in a Chairperson's Certificate as to the Series 2015 Bonds and as provided for pursuant to
subsequent resolution of the Agency relating to any other Series of Bonds. Notwithstanding
anything in this paragraph to the contrary, any interest not punctually paid on an Interest
Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the Regular Record
Date and may be paid to the registered Holder as of the close of business on a special record date
for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Paying Agent, notice of which shall
be given not less than 10 days prior to such special record date to the registered Holders.
The principal of and redemption premium, if any, on the Bonds shall be payable upon
presentation and surrender at the designated office of the Paying Agent. Interest on the Bonds
shall be paid by check or draft drawn upon the Paying Agent and mailed to the registered owners
of the Bonds on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that (i) if ownership of Bonds is
maintained in a book-entry only system by a securities depository, such payment may be made
by automatic funds transfer to the securities depository or its nominee or (ii) if such Bonds are
not maintained in a book-entry only system by a securities depository, upon written request of
the Holder of$1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Bonds, such payments may be made by
wire transfer to the bank and bank account specified in writing by such Holder (such bank being
a bank within the continental United States), if such Holder has advanced to the Paying Agent
the amount necessary to pay the cost of such wire transfer or authorized the Paying Agent to
deduct the cost of such wire transfer from the payment due to such Holder.
SECTION 203. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS. The Bonds of each Series, other than
the Series 2015 Bonds, may be subject to redemption prior to maturity at such times, at such
redemption prices and upon such terms in addition to the terms contained in this Resolution as
may be determined pursuant to subsequent resolutions of the Agency, which subsequent
resolutions may contain different redemption notice provisions than those contained in this
13
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
Resolution. The redemption provisions for the Series 2015 Bonds shall be established in the
manner described in the second paragraph of Section 201 of this Resolution.
Notice of redemption for Bonds being redeemed shall be given by deposit in the U.S.
mails of a copy of a redemption notice, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) and not more than
sixty (60) days before the redemption date to all registered owners of the Bonds or portions of
the Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as they appear on the registration books to be
maintained in accordance with the provisions hereof. Failure to mail any such notice to a
registered owner of a Bond, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for redemption of any Bond or portion thereof with respect to which no failure or defect
occurred. Such notice shall set forth the date fixed for redemption, the rate of interest borne by
each Bond being redeemed, the date of publication, if any, of a notice of redemption, the name
and address of the Registrar and Paying Agent, the redemption price to be paid and, if less than
all of the Bonds then outstanding shall be called for redemption, the distinctive numbers and
letters, including CUSIP numbers, if any, of such Bonds to be redeemed and, in the case of
Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
If any Bond is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption which relates to such Bond
shall also state that on or after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Bond, a new Bond or
Bonds in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of such Bond will be issued. Any
notice mailed as provided in this Section shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly
given, whether or not the owner of such Bond receives such notice.
In the case of an optional redemption of Bonds, the redemption notice may state that (a) it
is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys with the Paying Agent or with a bank, trust company
or other appropriate fiduciary institution acting as escrow agent (the "escrow agent"), in amounts
necessary to effect the redemption, no later than the redemption date, or (b) the Agency retains
the right to rescind such notice on or prior to the scheduled redemption date (in either case, a
"Conditional Redemption"), and such notice and optional redemption shall be of no effect if such
moneys are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded as described in this Section. Any such
notice of Conditional Redemption shall be captioned "Conditional Notice of Redemption." Any
Conditional Redemption may be rescinded at any time prior to the redemption date if the Agency
delivers a written direction to the Registrar directing the Registrar to rescind the redemption
notice. The Registrar shall give prompt notice of such rescission to the affected Bondholders.
Any Bonds subject to Conditional Redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall
remain Outstanding, and neither the rescission nor the failure by the Agency to make such
moneys available shall constitute a default under this Resolution.
Notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions described in this
Section, and with respect to a Conditional Redemption, the Conditional Redemption not having
been rescinded, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for redemption shall, on the redemption
date designated in such notice, become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided
for redemption for such Bonds or portions of Bonds on such date. On the date so designated for
redemption, moneys for payment of the redemption price being held in separate accounts by the
Paying Agent in trust for the registered owners of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed,
all as provided in this Resolution, interest on the Bonds or portions of Bonds so called for
redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds and portions of Bonds shall cease to be entitled to
any lien, benefit or security under this Resolution and shall be deemed paid hereunder, and the
14
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
registered owners of such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall have no right in respect thereof
except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof and to receive Bonds for any
unredeemed portions of the Bonds.
SECTION 204. EXECUTION OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of
the Agency by the Chairperson, and the seal of the Agency or a facsimile thereof shall be affixed
thereto or imprinted or reproduced thereon and attested by the Secretary, either manually or with
their facsimile signatures. In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or
sealed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed and sealed shall
have been actually sold and delivered, such Bonds may nevertheless be sold and delivered as
herein provided and may be issued as if the person who signed and sealed such Bonds had not
ceased to hold such office. Any Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Agency by such
person as at the actual time of the execution of such Bond shall hold the proper office, although
at the date of such Bonds such person may not have held such office or may not have been so
authorized.
The Bonds of each Series shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication, in the form set
forth in Exhibit B hereto, executed manually by the Registrar. Only such Bonds as shall bear
thereon such certificate of authentication shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this
Resolution and no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose until such certificate of
authentication shall have been duly executed by the Registrar. Such certificate of the Registrar
upon any Bond executed on behalf of the Agency shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so
authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Resolution and that the
Holder thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Resolution. If the Bonds of a Series have been
validated, the validation certificate on each of the Bonds of such Series shall be signed with the
manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future Chairperson, and the Agency may
adopt and use for that purpose the manual or facsimile signature of any person who shall have
been such Chairperson at any time on or after the date of the Bonds, notwithstanding that he may
have ceased to be such Chairperson at the time when said Bonds shall be actually delivered.
SECTION 205. NEGOTIABILITY, REGISTRATION AND CANCELLATION. At the
option of the registered Holder thereof and upon surrender thereof at the designated corporate
trust office of the Registrar with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly
executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney and upon payment by such Holder of any
charges which the Registrar or the Agency may make as provided in this Section, the Bonds may
be exchanged for Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount of the same Series and maturity
of any other authorized denominations.
The Registrar shall keep books for the registration of Bonds and for the registration of
transfers of Bonds. The Bonds shall be transferable by the Holder thereof in person or by his
attorney duly authorized in writing only upon the books of the Agency kept by the Registrar and
only upon surrender thereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the
Registrar duly executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the transfer of any
such Bond, the Agency shall cause to be issued in the name of the transferee a new Bond or
Bonds.
15
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
The Agency, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose
name any Bond shall be registered upon the books kept by the Registrar as the absolute Holder
of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment
of, or on account of, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond as the same
becomes due and for all other purposes. All such payments so made to any such Holder or upon
his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Agency, the Paying Agent nor the Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or transferring Bonds is
exercised, the Agency shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in
accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. All Bonds surrendered in any such exchanges
or transfers shall forthwith be delivered to the Registrar and cancelled by the Registrar in the
manner provided in this Section. There shall be no charge for any such exchange or transfer of
Bonds, but the Agency or the Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay any
tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or
transfer. Neither the Agency nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to transfer or exchange
Bonds of any Series for a period of 15 days next preceding any selection of Bonds of such Series
to be redeemed or thereafter until after the mailing of any notice of redemption; or (b) to transfer
or exchange any Bonds of any Series called for redemption.
All Bonds paid or redeemed, either at or before maturity shall be delivered to the Paying
Agent when such payment or redemption is made, and such Bonds, together with all Bonds
purchased by the Agency, shall thereupon be promptly cancelled. Bonds so cancelled may at
any time be destroyed by the Paying Agent, who shall execute a certification of destruction in
duplicate by the signature of one of its authorized officers describing the Bonds so destroyed,
and one executed certificate shall be filed with the Agency and the other executed certificate
shall be retained by the Paying Agent.
SECTION 206. BONDS MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR LOST. In case
any Bond shall become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, the Agency may execute and the
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like Series, date, maturity, denomination
and interest rate as the Bond so .mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost; provided that, in the case of
any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Agency and, in the
case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there shall first be furnished to the Agency and the
Registrar evidence of such loss, theft, or destruction satisfactory to the Agency and the Registrar,
together with indemnity satisfactory to them. In the event any such Bond shall be about to
mature or have matured or have been called for redemption, instead of issuing a duplicate Bond,
the Agency may direct the Paying Agent to pay the same without surrender thereof. The Agency
and Registrar may charge the Holder of such Bonds their reasonable fees and expenses in
connection with this transaction. Any Bond surrendered for replacement shall be cancelled in
the same manner as provided in Section 205 hereof.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute additional
contractual obligations on the part of the Agency, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed
Bonds be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds shall be entitled to equal and
16
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
proportionate benefits and rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the
Pledged Funds, with all other Bonds issued hereunder.
SECTION 207. PREPARATION OF DEFINITIVE BONDS; TEMPORARY BONDS.
Unless otherwise specified by the Agency in subsequent proceedings, the definitive Bonds of
each Series shall be lithographed, printed or typewritten. Until the definitive Bonds are
prepared, the Chairperson and Executive Director may execute and the Registrar may
authenticate, in the same manner as is provided in Section 204 hereof, and deliver, in lieu of
definitive Bonds, but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions as the definitive
Bonds, one or more printed, lithographed or typewritten temporary fully registered Bonds,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which such temporary Bond or Bonds
are issued, in authorized denominations or any whole multiples thereof, and with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate to such temporary Bonds. The Agency at its own
expense shall prepare, execute and, upon the surrender at the designated corporate trust office of
the Registrar of such temporary Bonds for which no payment or only partial payment has been
provided, the Registrar shall authenticate and, without charge to the Holder thereof, deliver in
exchange therefor, at the designated corporate trust office of the Registrar, definitive Bonds of
the same aggregate principal amount, Series and maturity as the temporary Bonds surrendered.
Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and
security as definitive Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution.
SECTION 208. FORM OF BONDS. The text of the Bonds shall be of the tenor set forth
in Exhibit B to this Resolution, with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
necessary and desirable and authorized or permitted by this Resolution or a Chairperson's
Certificate.
SECTION 209. BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM FOR THE BONDS;
QUALIFICATION FOR THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY. The Series 2015 Bonds
shall be issued, and any future Series of Bonds may be issued, as uncertificated securities
Y Y
through the book-entry only system maintained by The Depository Trust Company, New York,
New York ("DTC") or, with respect to any Series of Bonds other than the Series 2015 Bonds,
such other securities depository as may be selected by the Agency. The Agency, the Registrar
and the Paying Agent are hereby authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to qualify
the Bonds for deposit with DTC, including but not limited to those actions as may be set forth in
a letter of representations with DTC, the execution and delivery of which with respect to the
Series 2015 Bonds by the Chairperson or Executive Director of the Agency is hereby authorized.

agrees with the Holders of any and all of the Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution as follows:
A. TAX COVENANTS.
(1) The Agency will not take any action or omit to take any action, which
action or omission would result in interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds being includable in
gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes under the Code.
Particularly, the Agency will not take any action or omit to take any action which would
have caused any of the Tax-Exempt Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of

all such actions as are required to carry out the full intent of the Redevelopment Plan.
C. TRUST FUND. As soon as the same are received by the Agency, all of the Trust
Fund Revenues shall be forthwith deposited into the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund shall constitute
a trust fund for the purposes provided in this Resolution, shall be held by the Agency and shall
be maintained separate and distinct from all other funds of the Agency and used only for the
purposes and in the manner provided in this Resolution and the Act.
D. DISPOSITION OF TRUST FUND REVENUES. There is hereby created and
established a special fund designated the "Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency Sinking Fund
(City Center/Historic Convention Village)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Sinking Fund").
19
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
There are also hereby created four (4) separate accounts in the Sinking Fund to be known as the
"Interest Account", the "Principal Account," the "Bond Redemption Account" and the "Debt
Service Reserve Account". The Sinking Fund and the accounts therein shall be held and
administered by the Agency.
In each Fiscal Year, all Trust Fund Revenues deposited in the Trust Fund during such
Fiscal Year shall be disposed of by the Agency only in the following manner:
(1) Trust Fund Revenues shall first be used, to the full extent required, for
deposit into the Interest Account in the Sinking Fund, immediately upon receipt of such
Trust Fund Revenues, of such sums as shall be sufficient to pay the interest becoming due
on the Bonds during the current calendar year (or if such Trust Fund Revenues are
deposited in the Trust Fund during the first quarter of such Fiscal Year, to pay the interest
becoming due on the Bonds through the end of the next succeeding calendar year);
provided, however, that such deposit for interest shall not be required to be made into the
Interest Account to the extent that money on deposit therein is sufficient for such
purpose.
The Agency shall, on the business day prior to each Interest Payment Date,
transfer to the Paying Agent moneys in an amount equal to the interest due on such
Interest Payment Date or shall advise the Paying Agent of the amount of any deficiency
in the amount on deposit in the Interest Account so that the Paying Agent may give
appropriate notice required to provide for the payment of such deficiency from any
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit on deposit in the
Debt Service Reserve Account.
(2) (a) Trust Fund Revenues shall next be used, to the full extent required,
for deposit into the Principal Account in the Sinking Fund, immediately upon receipt of
such Trust Fund Revenues, of such sums as shall be sufficient to pay the principal
amount of Serial Bonds which will mature during the current calendar year (or if such
Trust Fund Revenues are deposited in the Trust Fund during the first quarter of such
Fiscal Year, to pay the principal amount of Serial Bonds which will mature through the
end of the next succeeding calendar year); provided, however, that such deposit for
principal shall not be required to be made into the Principal Account to the extent that
money on deposit therein is sufficient for such purpose.
The Agency shall, on the business day prior to each principal payment date,
transfer to the Paying Agent moneys in an amount equal to the principal due on such
principal payment date or shall advise the Paying Agent of the amount of any deficiency
in the amount on deposit in the Principal Account so that the Paying Agent may give
appropriate notice required to provide for the payment of such deficiency from any
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit on deposit in the
Debt Service Reserve Account.
(b) Trust Fund Revenues shall next be used, to the full extent required,
for deposit into the Bond Redemption Account in the Sinking Fund, immediately upon
receipt of such Trust Fund Revenues, of such Amortization Requirements as may be
20
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
required for the payment of the Term Bonds payable from the Bond Redemption Account
during the current calendar year (or if such Trust Fund Revenues are deposited in the
Trust Fund during the first quarter of such Fiscal Year, for the payment of the Term
Bonds payable from the Bond Redemption Account through the end of the next
succeeding calendar year).
The moneys in the Bond Redemption Account shall be used solely for the
purchase or redemption of the Term Bonds payable therefrom. The Agency may at any
time purchase any of said Term Bonds at prices not greater than the then redemption
price of said Term Bonds. If the Term Bonds are not then redeemable, the Agency may
purchase said Term Bonds at prices not greater than the redemption price of such Term
Bonds on the next ensuing redemption date. The Agency shall be mandatorily obligated
to use any moneys in the Bond Redemption Account for the redemption prior to maturity
of such Term Bonds at such times as the same are subject to mandatory redemption. If,
by the application of moneys in the Bond Redemption Account, however, the Agency
shall purchase or call for redemption in any year Term Bonds in excess of the
Amortization Requirements for such year, such excess of Term Bonds so purchased or
redeemed shall be credited in such manner and at such times as the Executive Director
shall determine over the remaining payment dates.
(3) Trust Fund Revenues shall next be used, to the full extent required, for
deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account, immediately upon receipt of such Trust
Fund Revenues, of the difference between the amount on deposit in the Debt Service
Reserve Account (including any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account
Letter of Credit) and the Reserve Account Requirement for the Bonds Outstanding, and,
provided further, that no payments shall be required to be made into the Debt Service
Reserve Account whenever and as long as the amount deposited therein (including any
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit) shall be equal to
the Reserve Account Requirement for the Bonds Outstanding.
Moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose
of making payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds when the moneys in the
Funds and Accounts held pursuant to this Resolution and available for such purpose are
insufficient therefor.
Any moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Account in excess of the Reserve
Account Requirement for the Bonds Outstanding may, in the discretion of the Agency, be
transferred to and deposited in the Interest Account, the Principal Account or the Bond
Redemption Account as the Agency at its option may determine.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of or in substitute for the
required deposits (including existing deposits therein) into the Debt Service Reserve
Account, the Agency may cause to be deposited into the Debt Service Reserve Account a
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or a Reserve Account Letter of Credit for the benefit
of the Holders of the Bonds Outstanding, which Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be payable or available to be drawn upon, as the
case may be (upon the giving of notice as required thereunder), on any Interest Payment
21
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
Date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured by moneys in any other Fund or
Account held pursuant to this Resolution and available for such purpose. If any such
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit is substituted for
moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account, the excess moneys in the Debt
Service Reserve Account shall be transferred to and deposited in the Interest Account, the
Principal Account or the Bond Redemption Account as the Agency at its option may
determine. If a disbursement is made under the Reserve Account Insurance Policy or the
Reserve Account Letter of Credit, the Agency shall be obligated to either reinstate the
maximum limits of such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of
Credit following such disbursement or to deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account
from the Trust Fund Revenues, as herein provided, funds in the amount of the
disbursements made under such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account
Letter of Credit, or a combination of such alternatives as shall equal the Reserve Account
Requirement for the Bonds Outstanding.
In the event that upon the occurrence of any deficiency in the Interest Account,
the Principal Account or the Bond Redemption Account, the Debt Service Reserve
Account is then funded with one or more Reserve Account Insurance Policies and/or
Reserve Account Letters of Credit, the Agency or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall,
on an interest or principal payment date or mandatory redemption date to which such
deficiency relates, draw upon or cause to be paid under such facilities, on a pro-rata basis
thereunder, an amount sufficient to remedy such deficiency, in accordance with the terms
and provisions of such facilities and any corresponding reimbursement or other
agreement governing such facilities; provided however, that if at the time of such
deficiency the Debt Service Reserve Account is only partially funded with one or more
Reserve Account Insurance Policies and/or Reserve Account Letters of Credit, prior to
drawing on such facilities or causing payments to be made thereunder, the Agency shall
first apply any cash and securities on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account to
remedy the deficiency and, if after such application a deficiency still exists, the Agency
or the Paying Agent, as applicable, shall make up the balance of the deficiency by
drawing on such facilities or causing payments to be made thereunder, as provided in this
paragraph. Amounts drawn or paid under a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be applied as set forth in the second paragraph of
this Section 304(D)(3). Any amounts drawn or paid under a Reserve Account Insurance
Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed to the issuer thereof in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the reimbursement or other agreement
governing such facility.
The Debt Service Reserve Account shall be valued on the first day in each Fiscal
Year and the value of securities on deposit therein shall be the lower of par, or if
purchased at other than par, amortized value. Amortized value, when used with respect
to securities purchased at a premium above or a discount below par, shall mean the value
at any given date obtained by dividing the total premium or discount at which such
securities were purchased by the number of interest payment dates remaining to maturity
on such securities after such purchase and by multiplying the amount so calculated by the
number of interest payment dates having passed since the date of purchase; and (i) in the
case of securities purchased at a premium, by deducting the product thus obtained from
22
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
the purchase price, and (ii) in the case of securities purchased at a discount, by adding the
product thus obtained to the purchase price.
(4) Trust Fund Revenues shall next be used for the payment of any
subordinated obligations hereafter issued by the Agency in accordance with Section
304(G) of this Resolution, which subordinate obligations shall have such lien on the Trust
Fund Revenues as the Agency shall determine in the proceedings authorizing the issuance
of such subordinated obligations.
(5) Thereafter, the balance of any Trust Fund Revenues remaining in said
Trust Fund shall, subject to Section 304(A), be used by the Agency for any lawful
purposes, including payment of any fees and expenses of the Fiduciaries; provided,
however, that none of such Trust Fund Revenues shall ever be used for the purposes
provided in this paragraph (5) unless all payments required in paragraphs (1) through (4)
above, including any deficiencies for prior payments and any amounts due to the issuer of
any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit, have been
made in full to the date of such use.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 304(D)(1) and (2) to the contrary, failure to make
the scheduled payments specified therein shall not constitute a breach of the Agency's
obligations under this Resolution so long as, on the date that any interest or principal payment is
due on the Bonds, monies sufficient to make such payment are on deposit in the Interest
Account, Principal Account or the Bond Redemption Account, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the contrary, if any
amount applied to the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
that would have been paid from an account in the Sinking Fund, is paid instead under a Credit
Facility, amounts deposited in such relevant account may be paid, to the extent required, to the
issuer of the Credit Facility having theretofore made said corresponding payment.
E. REBATE FUND. There is hereby created and established the "Miami Beach
Redevelopment Agency Rebate Fund (City Center/Historic Convention Village)" which fund
shall be maintained by the Agency separate and apart from all other funds and accounts of the
Agency. Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary, the Agency shall transfer
or cause to be transferred from Pledged Funds to the Rebate Fund the amounts required to be
transferred in order to comply with the arbitrage rebate covenants contained in a tax compliance
certificate to be executed and delivered by the Agency in connection with the issuance of each
Series of Tax-Exempt Bonds. The Agency shall make payments from the Rebate Fund of
amounts required to be deposited therein to the United States of America in the amounts and at
the times required by such arbitrage rebate covenants. The Agency covenants for the benefit of
the Bondholders that it will comply with the requirements of the arbitrage rebate covenants.
There shall be excluded from the pledge and lien of this Resolution the Rebate Fund, together
with all moneys and securities from time to time held therein and all investment earnings derived
therefrom. The Agency shall not be required to comply with the requirements of this Section
304(E) in the event that the Agency obtains an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel
that (i) such compliance is not required in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for
federal income tax purposes of interest on Tax-Exempt Bonds and/or (ii) compliance with some
23
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
other requirement is necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income
tax purposes of interest on Tax-Exempt Bonds.
F. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. The Trust Fund, the Sinking Fund, including the
Interest Account, Principal Account, Bond Redemption Account and Debt Service Reserve
Account, and all other special funds (other than the Rebate Fund) created and established by, or
pursuant to, this Resolution shall constitute trust funds in favor of the Bondholders and shall be
invested at the direction of the Agency as provided in this Section 304(F).
Moneys on deposit in the Trust Fund, Interest Account, Principal ,Account and Bond
Redemption Account may be invested at the direction of the Agency in Permitted Investments
maturing not later than the dates on which such moneys will be needed for the purposes of such
fund or account.
Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account may be invested at the direction
of the Agency in Permitted Investments maturing not later than the final maturity of any of the
Bonds.
All income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of moneys in the
Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Bond Redemption Account in the Sinking Fund
shall be retained in the respective accounts and applied as a credit against the obligation of the
Agency to transfer moneys to such accounts pursuant to Section 304(D)(1) and Section
304(D)(2)(a) and Section 304(D)(2)(b) of this Resolution, respectively.
All income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of moneys in the
Debt Service Reserve Account in the Sinking Fund shall be retained in the Debt Service Reserve
Account and applied as a credit against the obligation of the Agency and the City to transfer
moneys to such account, unless the amount in such account shall exceed the Reserve Account
Requirement, in which event such excess may be applied in the manner set forth for excess
amounts in the Debt Service Reserve Account, as described in Section 304(D)(3).
For the purpose of investing or reinvesting, the Agency may commingle moneys in the
funds and accounts created and established hereunder (other than the Rebate Fund) in order to
achieve greater investment income; provided that the Agency shall separately account for the
amounts so commingled. The amounts required to be accounted for in each of the fiends and
accounts designated herein (other than the Rebate Fund) may be deposited in a single bank
account provided that adequate accounting procedures are maintained to reflect and control the
restricted allocations of the amounts on deposit therein for the various purposes of such funds
and accounts as herein provided.
G. ISSUANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS PAYABLE OUT OF PLEDGED
FUNDS. Except upon the conditions and in the manner provided herein, the Agency will not
issue any other obligations payable from the Pledged Funds, nor voluntarily create or cause to be
created any debt, lien, pledge, assignment, encumbrance or any other charge having priority to or
being on a parity with the lien of the Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution and the interest
thereon, upon any of the Pledged Funds; provided that the Agency may enter into agreements
with issuers of Credit Facilities which involve liens on Pledged Funds on a parity with that of the
24
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
Series of Bonds or portion thereof which is supported by such Credit Facilities solely with
respect to any reimbursement obligations due such issuers which evidence amounts equal to the
scheduled stated principal (including, without limitation, Amortization Requirements) and
interest due on the Series of Bonds or portion thereof which is supported by such Credit
Facilities. Any other obligations, in addition to the Bonds authorized by this Resolution or
additional parity Bonds issued under the terms, restrictions and conditions contained in this
Resolution and obligations to issuers of Credit Facilities as described above, shall provide that
such obligations are junior, inferior and subordinate in all respects to the Bonds issued pursuant
to this Resolution as to lien on and source and security for payment from the Pledged Funds and
in all other respects. Nothing in this Resolution shall be deemed to prohibit the Agency from
entering into currency swaps or other arrangements for hedging interest rates on any
indebtedness.
H. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL PARITY BONDS. No additional parity Bonds,
as in this subsection defined, payable on a parity with Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution
out of Pledged Funds, including, without limitation, Trust Fund Revenues, shall be issued after
the issuance of any Bonds pursuant to this Resolution unless the following, among other
conditions, are complied with:
(1) The Agency must be current in all deposits into the various funds and
accounts and all payments theretofore required to have been deposited or made by it
under the provisions of this Resolution and the Agency must be currently in compliance
with the covenants and provisions of this Resolution and any supplemental resolution
hereafter adopted for the issuance of additional parity Bonds; unless upon the issuance of
such additional parity Bonds the Agency will be in compliance with all such covenants
and provisions.
(2) The aggregate of the Trust Fund Revenues (not including any portion
thereof which may be attributable to investment earnings) received by the Agency during
the immediately preceding Fiscal Year were at least equal to one hundred fifty percent
(1 50%) of the Maximum Annual Debt Service on (1) the Bonds originally issued
pursuant to this Resolution and then Outstanding, (2) any additional parity Bonds
theretofore issued and then Outstanding, and (3) the additional parity Bonds then
proposed to be issued.
(3) The Agency need not comply with subparagraph (2) of this paragraph in
the issuance of additional parity Bonds if and to the extent the Bonds to be issued are
refunding Bonds, that is, delivered in lieu of or in substitution for Bonds originally issued
under this Resolution or previously issued additional parity Bonds, if the Agency shall
cause to be delivered a certificate of the Executive Director of the Agency setting forth (i)
the Maximum Annual Debt Service (A) with respect to the Bonds of all Series
Outstanding immediately prior to the date of authentication and delivery of such
refunding Bonds, and (B) with respect to the Bonds of all Series to be Outstanding
immediately thereafter, and (ii) that the Maximum Annual Debt Service set forth
pursuant to (B) above is no greater than that set forth pursuant to (A) above.
25
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
Simultaneously with the delivery of any Bonds issued pursuant to subparagraphs (2) and
• (3) above for the purpose of refunding any Bonds issued under this Resolution, the Agency may
withdraw from the Sinking Fund amounts theretofore deposited which are allocable to the Bonds
being refunded and shall transfer said amounts in accordance with the resolution providing for
the issuance of the refunding Bonds, provided that after such withdrawal the Agency shall be in
compliance with the provisions of this Resolution.
The term "additional parity Bonds" as used in this Resolution shall be deemed to mean
additional obligations evidenced by Bonds issued upon the provisions and within the limitations
of this subsection to finance Redevelopment Projects payable from the Pledged Funds on a parity
with Bonds originally authorized and issued pursuant to this Resolution. Such Bonds shall be
deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Resolution the same as the Bonds originally
authorized and issued pursuant to this Resolution and all of the covenants and other provisions of
this Resolution (except as to details of such Bonds evidencing such additional parity obligations
inconsistent therewith) shall be for the equal benefit, protection.and security of the Holders of
any Bonds originally authorized and issued pursuant to this Resolution and the Holders of any
Bonds evidencing additional obligations subsequently issued within the limitations of and in
compliance with this subsection. All of such Bonds, regardless of the time or times of their
issuance shall rank equally with respect to their lien on the Pledged Funds and their sources and
security for payment therefrom without preference of any Bonds over any other.
The term "additional parity Bonds" as used in this Resolution shall not be deemed to
include bonds, notes, certificates or other obligations subsequently issued in accordance with this
Resolution, the lien of which on the Pledged Funds is subject to the prior and superior lien on the
Pledged Funds of Bonds and the Agency shall not issue any obligations whatsoever payable from
the Pledged Funds, which rank equally as to lien and source and security for their payment from
such Pledged Funds with Bonds except in the manner and under the conditions provided in
subsection (G) above and this subsection.
I. BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Agency will keep separately identifiable
accounting records for the receipt of the Trust Fund Revenues by the use of a fund established in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and any Holder of a Bond or Bonds
issued pursuant to this Resolution, shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect all
records, accounts and data of the Agency relating thereto.
The Agency shall promptly after the close of each Fiscal Year cause the books, records
and accounts relating to the Trust Fund Revenues for such Fiscal Year to be properly audited by
a qualified, recognized and nationally known independent firm of certified public accountants
and shall file the report of such certified public accountants in the office of the Executive
Director, and shall mail upon request, and make available generally, said report, or a reasonable
summary thereof, to any Holder or Holders of Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution.
Such audited books, records and accounts shall contain the statements required by
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to governmental entities, and a certificate of
such certified public accountants disclosing any breach on the part of the Agency of any
covenant herein.
26
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
J. NO IMPAIRMENT OF CONTRACT. The Agency has full power and authority
to irrevocably pledge the Pledged Funds to the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Bonds. The pledge of such Pledged Funds, in the manner provided herein, shall not be subject to
repeal, modification or impairment by any subsequent resolution, ordinance or other proceedings
of the Agency so long as any Bonds are Outstanding hereunder. The Agency shall take all
actions necessary and pursue such legal remedies which may be available to it either in law or in
equity to prevent or cure any impairment by any entity other than the Agency within the meaning
of this subsection.
K. REMEDIES. Any Holder of Bonds issued under the provisions of this Resolution
may either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceedings in any court of
competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights under the laws of the State or
granted and contained in this Resolution, and may enforce and compel the performance of all
duties required by this Resolution or by any applicable statutes, including the Act, to be
performed by the Agency or by any officer thereof. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed
to grant any Holder of such Bonds any lien on any property of the Agency, except as provided
herein. No Holder of Bonds, however, shall have any right in any manner whatever to affect
adversely, or prejudice the security of this Resolution or to express any right hereunder except in
the manner herein provided, and all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted and
maintained for the benefit of all Holders of Bonds.
L. ENFORCEMENT OF COLLECTIONS. The Agency will diligently enforce and
collect the Trust Fund Revenues and will take all steps, actions and proceedings for the
enforcement and collection of such Trust Fund Revenues to the full extent permitted or
authorized by applicable laws, including the Act. All Trust Fund Revenues shall as collected be
held in trust to be applied as herein provided and not otherwise.
M. DISCHARGE AND SATISFACTION OF BONDS. The covenants, liens and
pledges entered into, created or imposed pursuant to this Resolution may be fully discharged and
satisfied with respect to all or a portion of the Bonds in any one or more of the following ways:
(I) by paying the principal of and interest on such Bonds when the same shall
become due and payable; or
(2) by depositing in the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Bond
Redemption Account and/or in such other accounts which are irrevocably pledged to the
payment of Bonds as the Agency may hereafter create and establish, certain moneys
which together with other moneys lawfully available therefor, if any, shall be sufficient at
the time of such deposit to pay when due the principal, redemption premium, if any, and
interest due and to become due on said Bonds on or prior to the redemption date or
maturity date thereof; or
(3) by depositing in the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Bond
Redemption Account and/or such other accounts which are irrevocably pledged to the
payment of Bonds as the Agency may hereafter create and establish, moneys which
together with other moneys lawfully available therefor when invested in such Defeasance
Obligations which shall not be subject to redemption prior to their maturity other than at
27
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
the option of the Holder thereof, will provide moneys which shall be sufficient to pay
when due the principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest due and to become due
on said Bonds on or prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof.
Upon such payment or deposit in the amount and manner provided in this Section
304(M), Bonds shall be deemed to be paid and shall no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding for the purposes of this Resolution and all liability of the Agency with
respect to said Bonds shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged and
extinguished, and the Holders thereof shall be entitled to payment solely out of the
moneys or securities so deposited; provided that (i) in connection with any discharge and
satisfaction pursuant to subsection (2) or (3) above, the Agency shall concurrently with
such deposit deliver (A) an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect
that interest on the Bonds being discharged will not, by reason of such discharge, become
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes and that such Bonds have
been discharged in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and (B) an
accountant's verification report showing the sufficiency of such moneys and/or
Defeasance Obligations to provide for the payment of said Bonds, and (ii) in the event
said Bonds do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding sixty
(60) days, the Agency shall have given the Registrar irrevocable instructions to give, as
soon as practicable, a notice to the Holders of said Bonds by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, stating that the deposit of said moneys or Defeasance Obligations has been made
with an appropriate fiduciary institution acting as escrow agent solely for the Holders of
said Bond and other Bonds being defeased, and that said Bonds are deemed to have been
paid in accordance with this Section and stating such maturity or redemption date upon
which moneys are to be available for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest on said Bonds.
(4) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all references to the discharge and
satisfaction of Bonds shall include the discharge and satisfaction of any issue of Bonds,
any portion of an issue of Bonds, any maturity or maturities of an issue of Bonds, any
portion of a maturity of an issue of Bonds or any combination thereof.
(5) If any portion of the moneys deposited for the payment of the principal of
and redemption premium, if any, and interest on any portion of Bonds is not required for
such purpose, the Agency may use the amount of such excess free and clear of any trust,
lien, security interest, pledge or assignment securing said Bonds or otherwise existing
under this Resolution.
In the event that the principal and redemption price, if applicable, and interest due
on the Bonds shall be paid by the issuer of a Credit Facility pursuant to the terms thereof,
the assignment and pledge created hereunder and all covenants, agreements and other
obligations of the Agency to the Bondholders shall continue to exist and the issuer of
such Credit Facility shall be subrogated to the rights of such Bondholders.
N. CONCERNING THE RESERVE ACCOUNT INSURANCE POLICY, THE
RESERVE ACCOUNT LETTER OF CREDIT AND/OR CREDIT FACILITY. As long as the
Agency shall have a Reserve Account Insurance Policy and/or a Reserve Account Letter of
28
003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS
Credit on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account, the Agency covenants that it will comply
with the provisions of the Reserve Account Insurance Policy and/or Reserve Account Letter of
Credit and any reimbursement or similar agreement with respect to any such Reserve Account
Insurance Policy and/or Reserve Account Letter of Credit.
As long as any Series of Bonds of the Agency are secured by a Credit Facility, (i) the
Agency covenants to comply with the requirements and conditions imposed on the Agency by
the issuer of the Credit Facility and (ii) all rights hereunder granted to the Holders of Bonds so
secured shall be exercisable by the issuer of such Credit Facility in lieu of the Holders of such
Bonds.
Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary, the rights of any issuer of a
Credit Facility created under this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect only so long as
the applicable Credit Facility shall remain in effect and the issuer of such Credit Facility shall not
be in default in its payment obligations to the Holders of Bonds secured by such facility.

Outstanding.

removed, be dissolved, or otherwise become incapable of acting, or if the bank or trust company
acting as any Fiduciary shall be taken over by any governmental official, agency, department or
board, the position of Fiduciary shall thereupon become vacant. If the position of such Fiduciary

execution of any such instrument and of the ownership of Bonds shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Resolution and shall be conclusive in favor of the Fiduciary with regard to any
action taken by it under such instrument if made in the following manner:
(1) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument
may be proved by the verification of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws
thereof, has power to take affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the effect that such
instrument was subscribed and sworn to before him, or by an affidavit of a witness to
such execution. Where such execution is in behalf of a person other than an individual,
such verification shall also constitute sufficient approval of the authority of the signor
thereof.
(2) The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the registration books required
to be maintained pursuant to the provisions of this Resolution.
Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed as limiting the Fiduciary to such
proof, it being intended that the Fiduciary may accept any other evidence of the matters herein
stated which it may deem sufficient.
(b) If the Agency shall solicit from the Holders any request, direction, consent or
other instrument in writing required or permitted by this Resolution to be signed or executed by
the Holders, the Agency may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for determination of
Holders entitled to give each request, direction, consent or other instrument, but the Authority
shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, direction, consent
or other instrument may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record
at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Bonds have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, direction, consent or other instrument, and for that purpose the Bonds
shall be computed as of such record date.
(c) Any request or consent of the Holder of any Bond shall bind every future Holder
of the same Bond in respect of anything done by the Agency or any Fiduciary in pursuance of
such request or consent.

several Series of Bonds then Outstanding are affected by the modification or amendment, the
Holders of more than fifty per centum (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of each

percentage of Holders of Bonds required above for such modification or amendment, without the
consent of the Holders of all the Bonds.
For the purposes of this Section 601, to the extent any Series of Bonds is secured by a
Credit Facility, then the consent of the issuer of the Credit Facility shall constitute the consent of
the Holders of such Series.
This Resolution may be amended, changed, modified and altered without the consent of

any supplemental resolutions or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein
which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein; or
(b) to grant to or confer upon the Bondholders any additional rights, remedies,
powers, authority or security that may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the
Bondholders; or
(c) to add to the conditions, limitations and restrictions on the issuance of
Bonds under the provisions of this Resolution, other conditions, limitations and
restrictions thereafter to be observed; or
(d) to add to the covenants and agreements of the Agency in this Resolution

(g) to make such changes as may be necessary to comply with the provisions
of the Code relating to the exclusion of interest on Tax-Exempt Bonds from gross income
thereunder; or
(h) to make such changes as may evidence the interest herein of an issuer of a
Credit Facility that secures any Series of Bonds.
The Agency shall cause a notice of a proposed supplemental resolution requiring the
consent of Bondholders to be mailed, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Bonds then Outstanding
at their addresses as they appear on the registration books. Such notice shall briefly set forth the
nature of the proposed supplemental resolution and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the
office of the Agency for inspection by all Bondholders. The Agency shall not, however, be
subject to any liability to any Bondholder by reason of its failure to mail the notice required by
this Section, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental resolution
when consented to or approved as provided in this Section.
Whenever, at any time after the date of the mailing of such notice, the Agency shall
deliver to the Executive Director an instrument or instruments purporting to be executed by the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding,
which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed supplemental resolutions described in
such notice and shall specifically consent to and approve the adoption thereof, the Agency may
adopt such supplemental resolutions in substantially such form without liability or responsibility
to any Holder of any Bond, whether or not such Holder shall have consented thereto. It shall not
be necessary for the consent of the Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed
supplemental resolution, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof.
If the Holders of more than fifty per centum (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds of all Series affected and Outstanding at the time of the adoption of such supplemental
resolution shall have consented to and approved the adoption thereof as herein provided, no
Holder shall have any right to object to the adoption of such supplemental resolution, or to object
to any of the terms and provisions therein contained, or the operation thereof, or in any manner
to question the propriety of the adoption thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Agency from
adopting the same or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof.
The consent of the Holders of any additional Series of Bonds to be issued hereunder shall
be deemed given if the underwriters or initial Underwriters for resale consent in writing to such
supplemental resolution and the nature of the amendment effected by such supplemental
resolution is disclosed in the official statement or other offering document pursuant to which
such additional Series of Bonds is offered and sold to the public.
SECTION 602. SEVERABILITY OF INVALID PROVISIONS. If any one or more of
the covenants, agreements or provisions of this Resolution should be held contrary to any
express provision of law or contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly
prohibited, or against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such
covenants, agreements or provisions shall be null and void and shall be deemed separate from the

of such money if deposited after such date when all of the Bonds became due and payable, shall
be repaid to the Agency free from the provisions of this Resolution, and all liability of the
Fiduciary with respect to such money shall thereupon cease.
