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. [END OF ARTICLE II] 17 003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS ARTICLE III COVENANTS, FUNDS AND APPLICATION THEREOF SECTION 301. BONDS NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE AGENCY OR THE CITY. The Bonds shall not be and shall not constitute an indebtedness of the Agency, the City, the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter provisions or limitations, or a pledge of the faith and credit of the Agency, the City, the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely, as provided in this Resolution, from the Pledged Funds. No Holder or Holders of any Bonds issued hereunder shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the City, the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof or taxation in any form of any real or personal property therein, or the application of any funds of the Agency or the City, the County, the State or any political subdivision thereof to pay the Bonds or the interest thereon or the making of any sinking fund or reserve payments provided for herein other than the Pledged Funds as provided in this Resolution. SECTION 302. BONDS SECURED BY PLEDGE OF PLEDGED FUNDS. The payment of the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on all of the Bonds issued hereunder and any additional parity Bonds hereafter issued, as provided herein, shall be secured forthwith equally and ratably by a first lien on and pledge of the Pledged Funds. The Pledged Funds in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds herein authorized and to make the payments into the Sinking Fund (hereinafter created and established) and all other payments provided for in this Resolution, as well as moneys held in the funds and accounts created under this Resolution (other than the Rebate Fund), are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds authorized herein, and other payments provided for herein, as the same become due and payable. The Bonds and the obligation evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien upon any property owned by or situated within the corporate territory of the Agency or the City, but shall constitute a lien only on the Pledged Funds all in the manner provided in this Resolution. SECTION 303. APPLICATION OF BOND PROCEEDS; CONSTRUCTION FUND. (a) All moneys received by the Agency from the sale of the Series 2015 Bonds shall be disbursed as provided in a certificate of the Executive Director executed on the date of delivery of the Series 2015 Bonds. (b) All moneys received by the Agency from the sale of any Series of Bonds, other than the Series 2015 Bonds, shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of a subsequent resolution of the Agency relating to such Series of Bonds. (c) There is hereby created and established a special fund designated the "Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency Construction Fund (City Center/Historic Convention Village)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Construction Fund") to be held and administered by the Agency. There shall be created separate accounts within the Construction Fund for the deposit of proceeds of each Series of Bonds and other available moneys to fund Redevelopment Projects being 18 003-4430-4561/4/AMERICAS funded from proceeds of such Series of Bonds and other available moneys. Proceeds and other moneys on deposit in the Construction Fund shall be disbursed by the Agency to pay costs of the Redevelopment Project for which the applicable Series of Bonds was issued. If for any reason the moneys in the Construction Fund, or any part thereof including any investment earnings on deposit therein, are not necessary for, or are not applied to the purposes provided for the applicable Series of Bonds, then such unapplied proceeds, upon certification of a duly authorized official of the Agency that such surplus proceeds are not needed for such purposes, shall be applied to the redemption or purchase or payment of principal of Outstanding Bonds. Moneys on deposit in the Construction Fund may be invested and reinvested by the Agency to the fullest extent practicable in Permitted Investments maturing not later than such date or dates on which such moneys shall be needed for the purposes of the Construction Fund. The earnings and investment income derived from the moneys and investments on deposit in the Construction Fund shall be deposited and maintained in the applicable account within the Construction Fund and used for the purposes thereof (d) The proceeds of the sale of the Bonds shall be and constitute trust funds for the purposes hereinabove provided and there is hereby created a lien upon such moneys, until so applied, in favor of the Holders of said Bonds. SECTION 304. COVENANTS OF THE AGENCY. The Agency hereby covenants and 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 Section 148 of the Code. (2) The Agency shall comply with the arbitrage rebate covenants as provided in Section 304(E) hereof. B. REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. The Agency will carry out the purposes of the Redevelopment Plan within the Redevelopment Area all in accordance with the Act and will take 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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.
