DEFINITIONS, AUTHORITY AND FINDINGS;
RESOLUTION CONSTITUTES A CONTRACT
SECTION 101. DEFINITIONS. That, as used in this Resolu-
tion, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
"Accreted Value" shall mean, as of any date of computation
with respect to any Capital Appreciation Bond, an amount equal to
the principal amount of such Capital Appreciation Bond ( the prin-
cipal amount at its initial offering) plus the interest accrued
on such Capital Appreciation Bond from the date of delivery to
the original purchasers thereof to the Interest Payment Date next
preceding the date of computation or the date of computation if
an Interest Payment Date, such interest to accrue at a rate not
exceeding the legal rate as set forth in the resolution of the
Commission providing for the issuance of such Bonds, compounded
periodically, plus, with respect to matters related to the pay-
ment upon redemption or acceleration of the Capital Appreciation
Bonds, if such date of computation shall not be an Interest Pay-
ment Date, a portion of the difference between the Accreted Value
as of the immediately preceding Interest Payment Date (or the
date of original issuance if the date of computation is prior to
the first Interest Payment Date succeeding the date of original
issuance) and the Accreted Value as of the immediately succeeding
Interest Payment Date, calculated based on the assumption that
Accreted Value accrues in equal daily amounts on the basis of a
year of twelve 30-day months.
"Act" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the recitals
to this Resolution.
"Amortization Requirements" shall mean such moneys required
to be deposited in the Bond Redemption Account for the purpose of
the mandatory redemption or payment at maturity of any Term
Bonds, the specific amounts and times of such deposits to be
determined by the Commission in the resolution authorizing the
issuance of such Term Bonds .
"Annual Debt Service Requirement" for any period, as applied
to the Bonds of any Series, shall mean the respective amounts
which are needed to provide:
(a) for paying the interest on all Bonds of such
Series then Outstanding which is payable on each Interest
Payment Date in such period,
(b) for paying the principal of all Serial Bonds of
such Series then Outstanding which is payable upon the matu-
rity of such Serial Bonds in such period, and
- 2 -
(c) the Amortization Requirements, if any, for the
Term Bonds of such Series for such period.
For purposes of computing (a) , (b) and (c) above, any principal,
interest or Amortization Requirements due on October 1 in a
Fiscal Year shall be deemed due in the preceding Fiscal Year .
The following rules shall apply in determining the amount of
the Annual Debt Service Requirement for any period:
(a) The interest rate on Variable Rate Bonds shall
be assumed to be 110% of the greater of (A) the daily
average interest rate on such Variable Rate Bonds during the
twelve months ending with the month preceding the date of
calculation or such shorter period that such Variable Rate
Bonds shall have been Outstanding under this Resolution, and
(B) the actual rate of interest on such Variable Rate Bonds
on the date of calculation; provided, however , that so long
as the Series 1988 Bonds are insured by the Series 1988 Bond
Insurance Policy, the interest rate on Variable Rate Bonds
shall be assumed to be ( i) 9 . 2% for purposes of determining
the amount required to be deposited in the Debt Service
Reserve Account in respect of such Variable Rate Bonds and
( ii) the maximum rate permitted to be borne by said Variable
Rate Bonds for purposes of Section 304 (H) hereof.
(b) In the case of Put Bonds, the "put" date or
dates shall be ignored if the source for payment of said
"put" is a Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility and the
stated dates for Amortization Requirements and principal
payments shall be used, and in the case of Bonds secured by
a Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility, the terms of the
reimbursement obligation to the issuers thereof shall be
ignored and the stated dates for Amortization Requirements
for Term Bonds and principal payments shall be used; pro-
vided, however , that during any period of time after the
issuer of a Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility has
advanced funds thereunder, the reimbursement obligation of
which is payable from and secured on a parity with the Bonds
and before such amount is repaid, Annual Debt Service
Requirements shall include the principal amount so advanced
and interest thereon, in accordance with the principal
repayment schedule and interest rate or rates specified in
the Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility, in lieu of the
stated principal of and Amortization Requirements and inter-
est on such Bonds;
(c) In the case of Extendible Maturity Bonds, the
Bonds shall be deemed to mature on the later of the stated
maturity date or the date to which such stated maturity date
has been extended;
(d) In the case of Capital Appreciation Bonds, the
principal and interest portions of the Accreted Value of
Capital Appreciation Bonds becoming due at maturity or by
virtue of an amortization requirement shall be included in
the calculations of accrued and unpaid Annual Debt Service
Requirements in the year in which said principal and inter-
est portions are due and payable;
(e) In the case of Capital Appreciation and Income
Bonds, the principal and interest portions of the Appreci-
ated Value of Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds shall be
included in the calculations of accrued and unpaid Annual
Debt Service Requirements in the year in which said princi-
pal and interest portions are due and payable;
- 3 -
(f) In the case of Balloon Bonds or Interim Bonds,
the debt service requirements of the Balloon Bonds or
Interim Bonds may be excluded and in lieu thereof the Bal-
loon Bonds or Interim Bonds shall be viewed, for purposes of
the computation of Annual Debt Service Requirements, as debt
securities having a comparable Federal tax status as such
Balloon Bonds or Interim Bonds, hypothetically maturing in
substantially equal annual payments of principal and inter-
est over a period of not more than 30 years from the date of
issuance thereof, bearing interest at a fixed rate per annum
equal to the average interest rate per annum for such debt
securities on the date of issuance of the Balloon Bonds or
Interim Bonds and issued by issuers having a credit rating,
issued by Moody' s Investors Services, Inc. or any successors
thereto or Standard & Poor ' s Corporation or any successors
thereto comparable to that of the City, as shown by a cer-
tificate of an underwriting or investment banking firm
experienced in marketing such securities; and

interest on a Series of Bonds is payable from funds irrevoc-

Commission providing for the issuance of such Bonds , compounded

inal issuance if the date of computation is prior to the first

into between Southeast Bank, N.A. and the City, for the benefit
of the owners of the Refunded Bonds which Escrow Deposit Agree-
ment shall be substantially in the form presented at this meeting
with such changes as may be necessary to provide for the advance
refunding of the Refunded Bonds . The form of the Escrow Deposit
Agreement is hereby approved and the Mayor is hereby authorized
to execute and deliver the Escrow Deposit Agreement with such
changes, insertions and omissions and such filling-in of blanks
therein as shall be approved by the Mayor . Such execution shall
constitute conclusive evidence of the Mayor ' s approval and the
City' s approval of any change therein from the form of Escrow
Deposit Agreement presented at this meeting.
SECTION 202. DESCRIPTION OF BONDS. Unless otherwise speci-
fied by the City 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 stand-
ing 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 Federal
income tax purposes of the interest on any of the Bonds, the
Registrar may, at the written direction of the City, mail notice
to the registered owners of the Bonds of the availability of
exchanging registered Bonds and 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 Resolu-
tion.
Unless otherwise specified by the City in subsequent pro-
ceedings, the Bonds of a Series shall be dated as determined in a
Mayor ' s Certificate as to the Series 1988 Bonds and by subsequent
resolution of the City relating to the issuance of any other
Series of Bonds; shall bear interest, which may be fixed or vari-
able, from their date at a rate not exceeding the legal rate per
annum, with interest mailed to the registered Holder thereof on
each Interest Payment Date by the Paying Agent at the address
shown on the registration books of the City (held by the Regis-
trar ) at the close of business on the 15th day of the calendar
month preceding an Interest Payment Date ( in each case a "Regular
Record Date" ) , except for ( i ) Capital Appreciation Bonds which
shall bear interest as described under the defined term Accreted
Value, payable only upon redemption, acceleration or maturity
thereof and ( ii ) Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds which
shall bear interest as described under the defined term Appre-
ciated Value, payable on the amount due at maturity but only from
and after the Interest Commencement Date; shall be lettered and
shall be numbered in such manner as determined in a Mayor ' s Cer-
tificate as to the Series 1988 Bonds and by subsequent resolution
of the City relating to the issuance of any other Series of
Bonds; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof, except for ( i ) Capital Appreciation Bonds,
which may be initially issued in any denomination so long as
their Accreted Value at maturity shall be $5,000 or any integral
multiple thereof and ( ii ) Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds,
which may be initially issued in any denomination so long as
their Appreciated Value at the Interest Commencement Date shall
be $5, 000 or any integral multiple thereof ; and shall mature on
such dates, in such years and in such amounts, as determined in a
Mayor ' s Certificate as to the Series 1988 Bonds and as provided
for by subsequent resolution of the City relating to any other
Series of Bonds . Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to
- 12 -
the contrary, any interest not punctually paid on a Regular
Record Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
Holder on such Regular Record Date and may be paid at 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 such registered Holder .
The Bonds issued hereunder may be Serial Bonds or Term Bonds
and may be Variable Rate Bonds, Capital Appreciation Bonds,
Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds, Extendible Maturity Bonds,
Balloon Bonds, Interim Bonds, Put Bonds and such other types of
bonds as may be marketable from time to time, including, without
limitation, taxable Bonds and Bonds issued in book entry form, as
determined by subsequent proceedings of the City.
SECTION 203. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS. The Bonds of each
Series, other than the Series 1988 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 by subsequent resolutions of
the City, which subsequent resolutions may contain redemption
notice provisions. The redemption provisions and the redemption
notice provisions for the Series 1988 Bonds shall be established
in the manner described in the second paragraph of Section 201 of
this Resolution.
Unless otherwise provided by subsequent proceedings, in
addition to any required redemption notice to Bondholders, the
City shall give notice of redemption for Bonds being redeemed to
registered securities depositories and to national information
services that disseminate redemption notices at least 2 business
days in advance of the notice mailed to holders of Bonds by send-
ing notice to depositories such as Depository Trust Company of
New York, New York, Midwest Securities Trust Company of Chicago,
Illinois, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company of San
Francisco, California, and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company
of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and to national information
services such as Financial Information Inc. ' s Daily Called Bond
Service, Interactive Data Corporation' s Bond Service, Kenny
Information Service ' s Called Bond Serve, Moody' s Municipal and
Government News Reports and Standard and Poor ' s Called Bond
Record.
In addition, the Paying Agent shall publish notice of
redemption one time in The Bond Buyer of New York, New York or if
the Paying Agent believes that such publication is impractical or
unlikely to reach a substantial number of owners of the Bonds to
be redeemed, in some other financial newspaper or journal which
regularly carries notices of redemption of other obligations
similar to the Bonds, such publication to be made at least 30
days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing additional notice provisions,
failure to mail or publish such additional notices or any defect
therein shall not affect the validity of any redemption proceed-
ings as to which notice of such redemption has been properly
given to such Bondholder .
So long as the Series 1988 Bonds are insured by the Series
1988 Bond Insurance Policy, notice of redemption in connection
with an optional redemption of Bonds shall not be given by the
City unless on the date of giving of such notice of redemption
the City has on deposit with the Paying Agent sufficient moneys
to provide for such redemption.
- 13 -
SECTION 204. EXECUTION OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be exe-
cuted in the name of the City by the Mayor, and the seal of the
City or a facsimile thereof shall be affixed thereto or imprinted
or reproduced thereon and attested by the City Clerk , 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 City 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 A hereto, exe-
cuted 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 City 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 the back of each of the Bonds of such Series shall
be signed with the facsimile signatures of the present or any
future Mayor and City Clerk, and the City may adopt and use for
that purpose the facsimile signature of any person who shall have
been such Mayor and City Clerk at any time on or after the date
of the Bonds, notwithstanding that he may have ceased to be such
Mayor and City Clerk at the time when said Bonds shall be actual-
ly delivered. ,
SECTION 205. NEGOTIABILITY, REGISTRATION AND CANCELLA-
TION. At the option of the registered Holder thereof and upon
surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the
Registrar with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to
the Registrar duly executed by the registered Holder or his duly
authorized attorney and upon payment by such Holder of any
charges which the Registrar or the City 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 attor-
ney duly authorized in writing only upon the books of the City
kept by the Registrar and only upon surrender thereof together
with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Regis-
trar duly executed by the Holder or his duly authorized attor-
ney. Upon the transfer of any such Bond, the City shall cause to
be issued in the name of the transferee a new Bond or Bonds .
The City, 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
- 14 -
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 City, the Paying
Agent nor the Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
In the event that default shall be made in the payment of
the interest on or the principal of any of the Series 1988 Bonds
which would require the Series 1988 Bond Insurer to make payments
under the Series 1988 Bond Insurance Policy, the Series 1988 Bond
Insurer and its agent shall be provided with access to the books
kept by the Registrar for the registration of the Series 1988
Bonds.
In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or
transferring Bonds is exercised, the City 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 City 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 City 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.
Except as may otherwise be provided with respect to Put
Bonds in the proceedings of the City providing for the issuance
thereof, 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 pur-
chased by the City, 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 City 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 City may execute and the Registrar shall authenticate
and deliver a new Bond of like Series, date, maturity, denomina-
tion 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 City and,
in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there shall
first be furnished to the City and the Registrar evidence of such
loss, theft, or destruction satisfactory to the City 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 City may direct the Paying Agent to pay the same with-
out surrender thereof . The City and Registrar may charge the
Holder of such Bonds their reasonable fees and expenses in con-
nection with this transaction. Any Bond surrendered for replace-
ment 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 City, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds
- 15 -
be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds shall be
entitled to equal and 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 City in subsequent
proceedings, the definitive Bonds of each Series shall be litho-
graphed or printed. Until the definitive Bonds are prepared, the
Mayor and City Clerk may execute and the Registrar may authenti-
cate, in the same manner as is provided in Section 204, 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 appro-
priate to such temporary Bonds. The City at its own expense
shall prepare and execute and, upon the surrender at the corpo-
rate 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 principal 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 A to this Resolution, with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be necessary and
desirable and authorized or permitted by this Resolution or a
Mayor ' s Certificate.

SECTION 301. BONDS NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF THE CITY. The
Bonds shall not be and shall not constitute an indebtedness of
the City, within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or
charter provisions or limitations; 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, or taxation in any form of any real or personal
property therein, or the application of any other funds of the
City to pay the Bonds or the interest thereon or the making of
any sinking fund or reserve payments provided for herein.

Funds. The Resort Tax Revenues 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 pro-
vided for herein, as the same become due and payable.
The Bonds and the obligation evidenced thereby shall not
constitute a lien upon any property of or in 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.
(a) All moneys received by the City from the sale of the
Series 1988 Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution, unless
otherwise provided in a Mayor ' s Certificate shall be simulta-
neously disbursed as follows :
( 1) Proceeds derived from the sale of the Series
1988 Bonds equal to the accrued interest on the Series 1988
Bonds shall be deposited in the Interest Account , herein-

paying interest on the Series 1988 Bonds as the same becomes
due and payable .
( 2 ) Proceeds derived from the sale of the Series
1988 Bonds shall be deposited in a Cost of Issuance Fund
which is hereby created and established and used for the

sale of the Series 1988 Bonds shall be deposited in an irre-
vocable escrow fund established pursuant to the Escrow

manner stated in a Mayor ' s Certificate.
- 17 -
(b) All moneys received by the City from the sale of any
Series of Bonds, other than the Series 1988 Bonds, authorized and
issued pursuant to this Resolution, unless otherwise provided by
subsequent proceedings of the City authorizing such Series of
Bonds, shall be simultaneously disbursed as follows:
( 1) The accrued interest, if any, derived from the
sale of Bonds shall be deposited in the Interest Account ,
hereinafter created and established, and used for the pur-
pose of paying interest on the Bonds as the same becomes due

( 2) From the proceeds of the sale of such Bonds
there may be deposited, together with other moneys lawfully
available therefor , if any, in the Debt Service Reserve
Account, hereinafter created and established, an amount

the Bonds Outstanding under the Resolution.
( 3) The balance of the proceeds derived from the
sale of such Bonds, other than Bonds issued to refund Out-
standing Bonds, together with other moneys lawfully avail-
able therefor, if any, shall be deposited in a fund in a

created, established and designated as the "Construction
Fund" . Withdrawals may be made from the Construction Fund
upon receipt of a written requisition executed by the duly
authorized official of the City, specifying the purpose for
which such withdrawal is to be made and certifying that such
purpose is included within the scope of the project for
which such Series of Bonds was issued and related pur-
poses. Such purposes may include the payment of capitalized
interest on such Bonds in such amounts as the City shall
determine to be appropriate . 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 in this
Resolution for the Construction Fund, then such unapplied
proceeds, upon certification of a duly authorized officer of
the City that such surplus proceeds are not needed for the
purposes of the Construction Fund, shall be disbursed in the
following order :

hereinafter created and established, to the full
extent necessary to make the amount then on deposit
therein equal to the Maximum Annual Debt Service pay-

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 Construction Fund and used for the purposes thereof .
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 .
- 18 -
( 4) The balance of the proceeds derived from the
sale of such Bonds issued to refund Outstanding Bonds shall
be applied to provide for the refunding of such Outstanding
Bonds to be refunded in accordance with a resolution adopted
by the Commission prior to the issuance of such Bonds .
SECTION 304. COVENANTS OF THE CITY. The City hereby cove-
nants and agrees with the holders of any and all of the Bonds
issued pursuant to this Resolution as follows:
A. TAX COVENANTS.
(1) The City will not take any action or omit to
take any action, which action or omission, if reasonably expected
on the date of initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds, would
result in inclusion in gross income for Federal income tax pur-
poses under Section 103(a) of the Code, of interest on the
Bonds. Particularly, the City will not take any action or omit
to take any action, which action or omission, if reasonably
expected on the date of the initial issuance and delivery of the
Bonds, would have caused any of the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds"
within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code.
( 2 ) The City shall comply with the arbitrage rebate
covenants as provided in Section 304(E) hereof.
B. LEVY AND COLLECTION OF RESORT TAX. The City does
further hereby covenant and agree that as long as any of the
principal of or interest on any Series of Bonds issued pursuant
to this Resolution is unpaid, or payment thereof not duly pro-
vided for , it will not repeal Ordinance 1727 , as amended, codi-
fied as Chapter 41, Article V of the City Code pursuant to which
the Resort Tax is levied, and will not reduce the rate of the
Resort Tax, or amend or modify said City Code provisions, in any
manner so as to impair or adversely affect the power and obliga-
tion of the City to levy and collect the Resort Tax, or impair or
adversely affect in any manner the pledge of the Pledged Funds
made herein, or the rights of holders of Bonds issued pursuant to
this Resolution, and the City shall be unconditionally and irre-
vocably obligated, as long as any of the Bonds, or interest
thereon, are outstanding and unpaid, to levy and collect the
Resort Tax at not less than the rate now being levied by the
City, to the full extent necessary to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds and any reserves therefor .
C. RESORT TAX FUND. As soon as the same are received by
the City, all of the Resort Tax Revenues shall be forthwith
deposited in a special fund designated as the "Resort Tax Fund"
which fund shall be deemed a continuation of the Resort Tax Fund
established pursuant to the 1969 Resolution. The Resort Tax Fund
shall constitute a trust fund for the purposes provided in this
Resolution and shall be maintained separate and distinct from all
other funds of the City and used only for the purposes and in the
manner provided in this Resolution.
D. DISPOSITION OF RESORT TAX REVENUES. There is hereby
created and established the "Resort Tax Sinking Fund" (herein-
after referred to as the "Sinking Fund" ) . 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 Resort Tax Fund and the Sinking Fund shall be
deposited in a bank or trust company in the State which is eligi-
ble under State laws to receive deposits of municipal funds .
- 19 -
All Resort Tax Revenues at any time on deposit in the Resort
Tax Fund shall be disposed of only in the following manner :
(1) Resort Tax Revenues shall first be used, to the
full extent necessary, for deposit into the Interest Account
in the Sinking Fund, on the fifteenth ( 15th) day of each
month, beginning with the fifteenth ( 15th) day of the first
full calendar month following the date on which any or all
of the Bonds are delivered to the purchaser thereof, of such
sums as shall be sufficient to pay one-sixth ( 1/6th) of the
interest becoming due on the Bonds on the next semi-annual
Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that such monthly
deposits 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 and, provided fur-
ther, that in the event the City has issued additional
parity Variable Rate Bonds pursuant to the provisions of
this Resolution, Resort Tax Revenues shall be deposited at
such other or additional times and amounts as necessary to
pay the interest becoming due on the Variable Rate Bonds on
the next Interest Payment Date, all in the manner provided
in the supplemental resolution authorizing such additional
parity Variable Rate Bonds or in a resolution determining
the details of Variable Rate Bonds that have been authorized
but unissued.
In the event the City shall hereafter issue Variable
Rate Bonds, the amount required to be deposited in the
Interest Account for the payment of interest on such Vari-
able Rate Bonds shall be calculated as of the first day of
each Fiscal Year and shall be based upon one hundred ten per
centum ( 110% ) of the greater of ( i ) the average daily inter-
est rate on such Variable Rate Bonds during the preceding
Fiscal Year , or ( ii ) the actual rate of interest applicable
to such Variable Rate Bonds on the date of calculation.
The City shall, on each Interest Payment Date, trans-
fer 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 so transferred 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 .
In the event that the period to elapse between the
date of the delivery of the Bonds and the next semi-annual
interest payment date will be other than six ( 6) months,
then such monthly payments shall be adjusted to provide the
required interest amount becoming due and payable on the
next interest payment date.
( 2 ) (a) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to
the full extent necessary for deposit in the Principal
Account in the Sinking Fund, on the fifteenth ( 15th) day of
each month in each year , of one-sixth ( 1/6th) of the princi-
pal amount of Serial Bonds which will mature and become due
on such semi-annual maturity dates and one-twelfth ( 1/12th)
of the principal amount of Serial Bonds which will mature
and become due on such annual maturity dates , beginning on
such dates , as shall hereafter be determined by subsequent
proceedings of the City; provided, however , that such month-
ly deposits 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.
- 20 -
The City 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 so transferred 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.
In the event the period to elapse between the date of
delivery of the Bonds and the next principal payment date
will be other than six ( 6) months, in the case of Serial
Bonds which mature semi-annually, or twelve (12) months, in
the case of Serial Bonds which mature annually, then such
monthly payments shall be increased or decreased, as appro-
priate, in sufficient amounts to provide the required prin-
cipal amount maturing on the next principal payment date.
Any monthly payment of Resort Tax Revenues to be deposited
as set forth above for the purpose of meeting payments of
principal of the Bonds , shall be adjusted, as appropriate,
to reflect the frequency of principal payments applicable to
such Series .
(b) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to
the full extent necessary, for deposit into the Bond Redemp-
tion Account in the Sinking Fund on the fifteenth ( 15th) day
of each month in each year , beginning on such date, of such
Amortization Requirements as may be required for the payment
of the Term Bonds payable from the Bond Redemption Account,
as shall hereafter be determined by subsequent proceedings
of the City.
The moneys in the Bond Redemption Account shall
be used solely for the purchase or redemption of the Term
Bonds payable therefrom. The City 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 City may purchase said Term Bonds
at prices not greater than the redemption price of such Term
Bonds on the next ensuing redemption date. The City shall
be mandatorily obligated to use any moneys in the Bond
Redemption Account for the redemption prior to maturity of
such Term Bonds in such manner and at such times as shall be
determined by subsequent proceedings of the City; provided,
that the City shall not be obligated to redeem such Term
Bonds prior to maturity unless and until there are suffi-
cient moneys on deposit in the Bond Redemption Account to
provide for the redemption of at least Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($25, 000) principal amount of Term Bonds at any one
time. I f , by the application of moneys in the Bond Redemp-
tion Account , the City 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 Finance Director shall determine over
the remaining payment dates .
No distinction or preference shall exist in the
use of the moneys on deposit in the Resort Tax Fund for
payment into the Interest Account , the Principal Account and
the Bond Redemption Account, such accounts being on a parity
with each other as to payment from the Resort Tax Fund.
( 3) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the
full extent necessary, for deposit into the Debt Service
- 21 -
Reserve Account on the fifteenth ( 15th) day of each month in
each year, beginning with the fifteenth ( 15th) day of the
first full calendar month following the date on which any or
all of the Bonds issued hereunder are delivered to the pur-
chaser thereof, such sums as shall be at least sufficient to
pay an amount equal to one-sixtieth ( 1/60) 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 Maximum Annual
Debt Service 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 Maximum Annual Debt Service for the Bonds
Outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of
or in substitute for the required deposits of Resort Tax
Revenues ( including existing deposits of Resort Tax
Revenues) into the Debt Service Reserve Account, and so long
as the Series 1988 Bonds are insured by the Series 1988 Bond
Insurance Policy with the prior consent of the Series 1988
Bond Insurer , the City 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 in an amount equal
to the difference between the Maximum Annual Debt Service
for the Bonds Outstanding and the sums then on deposit in
the Debt Service Reserve Account, if any, 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 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 a disbursement is made under the Reserve
Account Insurance Policy or the Reserve Account Letter, of
Credit, the City shall be obligated to either reinstate the
maximum limits of such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or
Reserve Account Letter of Credit immediately following such
disbursement equal to the Maximum Annual Debt Service for
the Bonds Outstanding or to deposit into the Debt Service
Reserve Account from the Resort Tax 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 alterna-
tives as shall equal the Maximum Annual Debt Service for the
Bonds Outstanding.
In the event that any moneys shall be withdrawn from
the Debt Service Reserve Account for payments into the
Interest Account , Principal Account and Bond Redemption
Account, such withdrawals shall be subsequently restored in
the manner described in the first paragraph of this clause
( 3) from the first Resort Tax Revenues or funds available
after all required payments have been made into the Interest
Account, Principal Account and Bond Redemption Account,
including any deficiencies for prior payments unless
restored by the reinstatement of the maximum limits of a
Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter
of Credit .
Moneys in 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 Resort Tax Fund
or any other fund or account held pursuant to this Resolu-
- 22 -
tion and available for such purpose are insufficient there-
for .
Any moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Account in
excess of the Maximum Annual Debt Service for the Bonds
Outstanding may, in the discretion of the City, be trans-
ferred to and deposited in the Interest Account , the Prin-
cipal Account or the Bond Redemption Account as the City at
its option may determine.
The Debt Service Reserve Account shall be valued at
least once in each Fiscal Year and the value of securities
on deposit therein shall be the lower of par , or if pur-
chased 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 dis-
count 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 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) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used for the
payment of any subordinated obligations hereafter issued by
the City in accordance with Section 304(G) of this Resolu-
tion, which subordinate obligations shall have such lien on
the Resort Tax Revenues as the City shall determine in the
proceedings authorizing the issuance of such subordinated
obligations.
( 5) Thereafter , the balance of any Resort Tax
Revenues remaining in said Resort Tax Fund shall, subject to
Section 304 (A) , be used by the City for any lawful purposes;
provided, however , that none of such Resort Tax Revenues
shall ever be used for the purposes provided in this para-
graph ( 5) unless all payments required in paragraphs ( 1 )
through ( 4) above, including any deficiencies for prior pay-
ments 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) ( l) & ( 2 ) to the
contrary failure to make the scheduled payments specified therein
shall not constitute a breach of the City' 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 or Principal
Account , as the case may be. If the amounts deposited in any
month pursuant to such sections shall be less than the amounts
required, the requirement shall be cumulative and the amount of
the deficiency in any month shall be added to the amount other-
wise required to be deposited in each month thereafter until such
time as all such deficiencies have been made up.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein
to the contrary, if any amount applied to the payment of princi-
pal 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 or a Liquidity Facility, amounts
deposited in such relevant account may be paid, to the extent
required, to the issuer of the Credit Facility or Liquidity
Facility having therefore made said corresponding payment .
- 23 -
E. REBATE FUND. There is hereby created and established
the "Rebate Fund" which fund shall be maintained separate and
apart from all other funds and accounts held by the City. Not-
withstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary, the
City shall transfer or cause to be transferred the amounts
required to be transferred in order to comply with the arbitrage
rebate covenants contained in a certificate to be executed and
delivered by the City in connection with the issuance of each
Series of Bonds . The City shall make or cause to be made pay-
ments 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 City
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 City shall not be required to comply with the
requirements of this Section 304 (E) in the event that the City
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 the Bonds and/or ( ii ) compliance with some other
requirement is necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross
income for Federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds .
F. INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. The Resort Tax Fund, the Sinking
Fund, including the Interest Account , Principal Account, Bond
Redemption Account and Debt Service Reserve Account and the Cost
of Issuance Fund and all other special funds (other than the
Rebate Fund) created and established by this Resolution shall
constitute trust funds in favor of the Bondholders and shall be
invested at the direction of the City as provided in this Section
304(F) .
Moneys on deposit in the Resort Tax Fund, Interest Account,
Principal Account , Bond Redemption Account and Cost of Issuance
Fund may be invested in Permitted Investments maturing not later
than the dates on which such moneys will be needed for the pur-
poses of such fund or account .
Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account may be
invested 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 Redemption Account in the Sinking Fund shall be
retained in the respective accounts and applied as a credit
against the obligation of the City to transfer moneys from the
Resort Tax Fund to such accounts pursuant to Section 304 (D) ( l)
and Section 304 (D) ( 2 ) (a) and Section 304 (D) ( 2) (b) of this Resolu-
tion, 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
City to transfer moneys from the Resort Tax Fund to such account,
unless the amount in such account shall exceed the Maximum Annual
Debt Service, 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 ) .
All income and earnings received from the investment and
reinvestment of moneys in the Cost of Issuance Fund shall be
transferred to the Resort Tax Fund.
- 24 -
For the purpose of investing or reinvesting, the City may
commingle moneys in the funds and accounts created and estab-
lished hereunder (other than the Rebate Fund) in order to achieve
greater investment income; provided that the City shall separate-
ly account for the amounts so commingled. The amounts required
to be accounted for in each of the funds 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. The designation and
establishment of funds and accounts in and by this Resolution
(other than the Rebate Fund) shall not be construed to require
the establishment of any completely independent funds and
accounts but rather is intended solely to constitute an alloca-
tion of certain revenues and assets for certain purposes and to
establish such certain priorities for application of certain
revenues and assets as herein provided.
G. ISSUANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS PAYABLE OUT OF RESORT
TAX REVENUES. Except upon the conditions and in the manner pro-
vided herein, the City will not issue any other obligations pay-
able 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 City may enter into agreements with issuers of Credit
Facilities and Liquidity Facilities which involve liens on Resort
Tax Revenues on a parity with that of the Series of Bonds or
portion thereof which is supported by such Credit Facilities or
Liquidity Facilities . Any other obligations, including any
renewal or extension of the Interlocal Agreement and Contract
among the City, the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau
and the other governmental entities recited therein, or any simi-
lar agreement issued or entered into by the City, in addition to
the Bonds authorized by this Resolution or additional parity
Bonds issued under the terms, restrictions, and conditions con-
tained in this Resolution, 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 Resort Tax Revenues and in all
other respects . Nothing in this Resolution shall be deemed to
prohibit the City from entering into currency swaps or other
arrangements for pledging 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 shall be issued after the issuance of any Bonds pursuant to
this Resolution unless the following, among other conditions, are
complied with:
( 1) The City 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 City 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 City will be in
compliance with all such covenants and provisions .
( 2 ) The amount of the Resort Tax Revenues during the
immediate preceding Fiscal Year or any twelve ( 12 ) consecu-
tive months selected by the City of the eighteen ( 18) months
immediately preceding the issuance of said additional parity
- 25 -
Bonds, as certified by an independent certified public
accountant, were at least equal to one hundred fifty percent
( 150%) of the Maximum Annual Debt Service on ( 1) the Bonds
originally issued pursuant to this Resolution and then Out-
standing, ( 2 ) any additional parity Bonds theretofore issued
and then Outstanding, and ( 3) the additional parity Bonds
then proposed to be issued.
( 3) The City 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 City shall cause to
be delivered a certificate of the Finance Director of the
City setting forth ( i ) the Maximum Annual Debt Service (A)
with respect to the Bonds of all Series Outstanding immedi-
ately 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.
Simultaneously with the delivery of any Bonds issued
pursuant to Sections ( 2) and ( 3) above for the purpose of
refunding any Bonds issued under this Resolution, the City
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 reso-
lution providing for the issuance of the refunding Bonds,
provided that after such withdrawal the City 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 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 pro-
visions of this Resolution (except as to details of such
Bonds evidencing such additional parity obligations incon-
sistent therewith) , shall be for the equal benefit, protec-
tion 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 sub-
sequently 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 City 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.
- 26 -
I. BOOKS AND RECORDS. The City will keep separately
identifiable accounting records for the receipt of the Pledged
Funds by the use of a fund established in accordance with gener-
ally 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 City relating thereto.
The City shall promptly after the close of each Fiscal Year
cause the books , records and accounts relating to the Pledged
Funds 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 Finance Director of the
City, 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 City of any covenant herein.
J. NO IMPAIRMENT OF CONTRACT. The City 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 City
so long as any Bonds are Outstanding hereunder . The City 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 City within the
meaning of this subsection.
K. REMEDIES. Any holder of Bonds issued under the provi-
sions of this Resolution or any trustee acting for such Bond-
holders in the manner hereinafter provided, 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 stat-
utes to be performed by the City or by any officer thereof .
Nothing herein, however , shall be construed to grant any Holder
of such Bonds any lien on any property of or within the corporate
boundaries of the City, 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 pro-
vided, and all proceedings at law or in equity shall be insti-
tuted and maintained for the benefit of all Holders of Bonds .
The Holder or Holders of Bonds in an aggregate principal
amount of more than twenty per centum ( 20% ) of Bonds issued under
this Resolution then Outstanding may by a duly executed certi-
ficate in writing appoint a trustee for Holders of Bonds issued
pursuant to this Resolution with authority to represent such
Bondholders in any legal proceedings for the enforcement and
protection of the rights of such Bondholders . Such certificate
shall be executed by such Bondholders or their duly authorized
attorneys or representatives , and shall be filed in the office of
the Finance Director of the City.
- 27 -
Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary,
so long as the issuer of a Credit Facility or a Liquidity
Facility shall not be in default in its payment obligations under
such Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility, said issuer shall
be deemed to be the holder of all Bonds so secured for all pur-
poses of this Section 304 (K) .
L. ENFORCEMENT OF COLLECTIONS. The City will diligently
enforce and collect the Resort Tax Revenues and will take all
steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection
of such Resort Tax Revenues which shall become delinquent to the
full extent permitted or authorized by applicable laws and
regulations . All such Resort Tax Revenues shall, as collected,
be held in trust to be applied as herein provided and not other-
wise.
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 :
( 1 ) 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 Prin-
cipal Account and the Bond Redemption Account and/or in such
other accounts which are irrevocably pledged to the payment
of Bonds as the City may hereafter create and establish by
resolution, 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 (a) 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 City may hereafter create and estab-
lish by resolution, 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 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 and (b) in the
case of the discharge of the Series 1988 Bonds and so long
as the Series 1988 Bonds are insured by the Series 1988 Bond
Insurance Policy, delivering to the Paying Agent a verifica-
tion report of a nationally recognized certified public
accountant as to the adequacy of such deposit, together with
investment earnings thereon, to pay when due the principal ,
redemption premium, if any, and interest due or to become
due on or prior to the redemption date or maturity date of
the Series 1988 Bonds .
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 City
with respect to said Bonds shall cease , terminate and be
completely discharged and extinguished, and the Holders
thereof shall be entitled for payment solely out of the
moneys or securities so deposited; provided that in the
event said Bonds do not mature and are not to be redeemed
- 28 -
within the next succeeding sixty ( 60) days, the City shall
have given the Registrar and Paying Agent irrevocable
instructions to give, as soon as practicable, a notice to
the Holders of said Bonds by first-class mail, postage pre-
paid, 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) As to Variable Rate Bonds, whether discharged
and satisfied under the provisions of subsection ( 1) , ( 2) or
( 3) above, the amount required for the interest thereon
shall be calculated at the maximum rate permitted by the
terms of the provisions which authorized the issuance of
such Variable Rate Bonds; provided however , that if on any
date, as a result of such Variable Rate Bonds having borne
interest at less than such maximum rate for any period, the
total amount of moneys and Defeasance Obligations on deposit
for the payment of interest on such Variable Rate Bonds is
in excess of the total amount which would have been required
to be deposited on such date in respect of such Variable
Rate Bonds in order to fully discharge and satisfy such
Bonds pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the City
may use the amount of such excess free and clear of any
trust , lien, security interest, pledge or assignment secur-
ing said Variable Rate Bonds or otherwise existing under
this Resolution.
( 5) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this
Resolution to the contrary, Put Bonds and Extendible
Maturity Bonds may only be fully discharged and satisfied
either pursuant to subsection ( 1) above or by depositing in
the Interest Account, the Principal Account and the Bond
Redemption Account, or in such other accounts which are
irrevocably pledged to the payment of the Put Bonds as the
City may hereafter create and establish by resolution,
moneys which together with moneys lawfully available there-
for , if any, shall be sufficient at the time of such deposit
to pay when due the maximum amount of principal of and
redemption premium, if any, and interest on such Put Bonds
and Extendible Maturity Bonds which could become payable to
the Holders of such Bonds upon the exercise of any options
provided to the Holders of such Bonds; provided however ,
that if, at the time a deposit is made pursuant to this
subsection ( 5) , the options originally exercisable by the
Holder of a Put Bond are no longer exercisable, such Bond
shall not be considered a Put Bond and Extendible Maturity
Bond for purposes of this subsection ( 5) .
( 6) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all references to
the discharge and satisfaction of Bonds shall include the
discharge and satisfaction of any issue of Bonds, any por-
tion 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 , provided that the provi-
sions of this subsection ( 6) shall not affect the require-
ments regarding Put Bonds and Extendible Maturity Bonds set
forth in subsection ( 5 ) .
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 or Liquidity
- 29 -
Facility pursuant to the terms thereof , the assignment and
pledge created hereunder and all covenants, agreements and
other obligations of the City to the Bondholders shall con-
tinue to exist and the issuer of such Credit Facility or
Liquidity Facility shall be subrogated to the rights of such
Bondholders .
(7) 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 City 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.
N. CONCERNING THE RESERVE ACCOUNT INSURANCE POLICY, THE
RESERVE ACCOUNT LETTER OF CREDIT, CREDIT FACILITY AND/OR LIQUID-
ITY FACILITY. As long as the City shall have a Reserve Account
Insurance Policy and/or a Reserve Account Letter of Credit on
deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account, the City covenants
that it will comply with the provisions of the Reserve Account
Insurance Policy and/or the reimbursement or similar agreement
with respect to the Reserve Account Letter of Credit.
As long as any Series of Bonds of the City are secured by a
Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility, the City covenants to
comply with the requirements and conditions imposed on the City
by the issuer of the Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility.
Notwithstanding anything in this Resolution to the contrary,
the right of any issuer of a Credit Facility or Liquidity
Facility, including the Series 1988 Bond Insurer , created under
this Resolution shall remain in full force and effect only so
long as the applicable Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility,
including the Series 1988 Bond Insurance Policy, shall remain in
effect and the issuer of such Credit Facility o Liquidity
Facility, including the Series 1988 Bond Insurer , shall not be in
default in its payment obligations to the holders of Bonds
secured by such facility.

resent the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds
then Outstanding.

which any Fiduciary may be merged or converted or with which it

(a) Any request, direction, consent or other instrument in
writing required by this Resolution to be signed or executed by
Bondholders may be in any number of concurrent instruments of
similar tenor and may be signed or executed by such Bondholders
in person or by their attorneys or legal representatives
appointed by an instrument in writing. Proof of the execution of
any such instrument and of the ownership of Bonds shall be suffi-
cient 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 execu-
tion. 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 City shall solicit from the Holders any
request, direction, consent or other instrument in writing re-
quired or permitted by this Resolution to be signed or executed
by the Holders, the City 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 Autho-
rity 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 Fiscal Agent in pursuance of such request or consent .

tion of or by the exchange of, such Federal Securities held in
the Escrow Deposit Trust Fund:
( 1) The Escrow Agent shall have received an
opinion of nationally recognized counsel in the field of law
relating to municipal bonds stating that such substitution
will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income
for Federal income tax purposes of interest on the Refunded
Bonds or the Bonds and is not inconsistent with the statutes
and regulations applicable to the Refunded Bonds and the
Bonds ; and
( 2 ) The Escrow Agent shall have received veri-
fication from an independent certified public accountant
stating that the principal of and interest on the substi-
tuted Federal Securities, together with any Federal Securi-
ties and a stated dollar amount of cash remaining in the
Escrow Deposit Trust Fund, if any, will be sufficient with-
out reinvestment , to pay the remaining principal of , redemp-
tion premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds as
set forth in Schedule C hereof .
Any moneys resulting from the sale, transfer , disposition or
redemption of the Federal Securities held hereunder and the sub-
stitution therefor of other Federal Securities not necessary for

interest on the Refunded Bonds, shall be deposited in the Sinking

the purposes described therein.
Section 2 . 05 . Reinvestment of Certain Funds Received. The
Escrow Agent shall immediately reinvest all or a portion of the
amounts received from the maturing principal of or interest on

Treasury Certificates of Indebtedness - State and Local Govern-
ment Series ( for which subscriptions for purchase will be filed
pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph) bearing interest at a
rate of 0% in the amounts and maturities and on the dates set
forth in Schedule D hereof .

gations .

thereon are paid, the Escrow Agent shall no later than each
interest or principal payment or redemption date for the Refunded
Bonds, as specified in Schedule C hereof , transfer from the
Escrow Deposit Trust Fund to the paying agents for the Refunded
Bonds amounts sufficient to pay the principal of , redemption
premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds coming due,
as specified in Schedule C hereof . [The Escrow Agent is hereby
instructed and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to (a) pay at
maturity all Refunded Bonds as the same are due and payable and

Federal Securities maturing no later than the next interest pay-
ment or redemption date or principal payment date of the Refunded
Bonds, or for such shorter periods or at such interest rates that
the Escrow Agent shall be directed to invest by the City, which
periods or interest rates shall be set forth in an opinion from a
nationally recognized law firm on the subject of municipal bonds ,
which opinion shall also be to the effect that such reinvestment
of such moneys will not , under the statutes, rules and regula-
tions then in force and applicable to the Refunded Bonds and the
Bonds , cause the interest on the Refunded Bonds and the Bonds to
be included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes and
that such investment is not inconsistent with the statutes and
regulations applicable to the Refunded Bonds and the Bonds . Any
interest income resulting from reinvestment of moneys pursuant to
this Section 2 . 07 shall be transferred to the City for deposit in
the Sinking Fund created and established by the 1988 Resolution
and used for the purposes described therein.
Section 2 . 08 . Escrow Deposit Trust Fund Constitutes Trust
Fund. The Escrow Deposit Trust Fund created and established

provided in this Agreement .

by this Agreement are Made . After all of the transfers by the
Escrow Agent to the respective paying agents for payment of the

premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds have been
paid.

% are payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Paying

Bonds (Series 1969 ) , dated April 1, 1969 ( the "Prior Bonds" ) of
which $4,925, 000 are currently outstanding, and ( ii ) pay the cost

The Series 1988 Bonds are payable solely from the City ' s

not constitute a debt of the City for which the full faith and
credit of the City is pledged, and the City is not obligated to

taxation under the laws of the State of Florida, except estate
taxes and taxes imposed by Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on
interest, income or profits on debt obligations owned by
corporations as defined in said Chapter 220. For a more complete

RESORT TAX REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS, SERIES 1988
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this Official Statement, including the cover
page and appendices, is to furnish information with respect to the
issuance and sale by the City of Miami Beach, Florida ( the "City" )
of $6, 000, 000* aggregate principal amount of Resort Tax Revenue
Refunding Bonds, Series 1988 ( the "Series 1988 Bonds" ) .
The Series 1988 Bonds are being issued pursuant to Resolution
No. , duly adopted by the City Commission of the City
(the "City Commission" ) on , 1988, and other
resolutions of the City, as amended and supplemented
(collectively, the "Resolution" ) , the Constitution and laws of the
State of Florida, in particular Chapter 67-930, Laws of Florida,
Acts of 1967, as amended, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, as
amended, all other applicable provisions of law, Chapter 41 ,
Article V of the Miami Beach City Code, as amended, and the Miami
Beach City Charter , as amended.
For a complete description of the terms and conditions of the
Series 1988 Bonds, reference is made to the proceedings
authorizing the issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds . The
description of the Series 1988 Bonds and of the documents
authorizing and securing the same contained herein does not
purport to be comprehensive or definitive. All references herein
to such documents are qualified in their entirety by reference to
such documents.
All terms used herein with initial capitals which are not
otherwise defined herein shall have such meanings as are defined
in "Appendix B - Summary of Certain Provisions of the Resolution. "
PURPOSE
The Series 1988 Bonds are being issued to provide funds that
will be sufficient to ( i ) advance refund, together with other
available moneys, the City of Miami Beach, Florida, Excise Tax
Bonds ( Series 1969 ) , dated April 1, 1969 ( the "Prior Bonds" or the
"Series 1969 Bonds" ) , of which $4,925,000 are currently
outstanding; and ( ii ) pay the cost of issuance of the Series 1988
Bonds. The Series 1988 Bonds are being issued and the prior
*Preliminary, subject to change
22
-1-
Bonds are being advance refunded in order to defease certain
existing covenants and to restructure the City ' s outstanding debt .
PLAN OF REFUNDING
To effect the refunding of the Prior Bonds, the City is
entering into an Escrow Deposit Agreement ( the "Escrow
Agreement" ) , on or prior to delivery of the Series 1988 Bonds,
with Southeast Bank, N.A. , Miami, Florida, as Escrow Agent ( the
"Escrow Agent" ) . Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement ,
the City will deposit a portion of the proceeds of the Series 1988
Bonds and other available monies with the Escrow Agent . A portion
of such monies will be applied on or after the date of delivery of
the Series 1988 Bonds to the purchase of direct obligations of the
United States of America ( the "Federal Securities" ) . The Federal
Securities will mature at such times and in such amounts so that
sufficient moneys will be available from such maturing principal,
together with interest income to be derived from the Federal
Securities and other available funds, to pay when due, all
principal of, interest and redemption premiums, if any, on the
Prior Bonds . The Prior Bonds will be paid therefrom at their
maturities until April 1 , 1995.
Bond Counsel will deliver an opinion to the effect that by
depositing such amounts with the Escrow Agent, and applying a
portion of such amounts to the purchase of the Federal Securities
as discussed above, and in reliance upon certain mathematical
computations of Touche Ross & Co. , independent certified public
accountants ( see "Verification of Mathematical Computations"
herein) , the pledge of and lien on Resort Tax Revenues in favor of
holders of Prior Bonds will no longer be in effect.
The maturing principal of, and interest on, the Federal
Securities held by the Escrow Agent will not be available to pay
principal of, interest on, or redemption premium, if any, with
respect to the Series 1988 Bonds .

credit shall be payable or available to be drawn upon after the
giving of notice as required thereunder , on any interest payment
date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured by moneys
in any other fund or account held pursuant to the Resolution and
available for such purpose. Moneys in the Debt Service Reserve
Account may be used for making payments of principal of and
interest on the Bonds only if other moneys held pursuant to the
Resolution and available for such purpose are insufficient .
Resort Tax Revenues
The City has covenanted in the Resolution to maintain a Fund
into which all Resort Tax revenues are to be deposited ( the
"Resort Tax Fund" ) . Under the Resolution the City' s monthly

Fund" ) ; ( iv) to make payments on any other bonds which are
subordinate to the Bonds and which are secured by the Resort Tax

required by items ( i ) through ( iv) above have been made, including
any deficiencies for prior payments and any amounts due to the
issuer of any insurance policy or letter of credit in connection
with the Sinking Fund, then on a monthly basis, monies remaining
in the Resort Tax Fund may be used by the City for any lawful
purpose.
Additional Bonds
The City may issue additional bonds on a parity with the
Series 1988 Bonds as to payment from and lien on the City' s Resort
Tax. Such additional Bonds may be issued upon compliance with the
following conditions:
( 1) The City must be current in all deposits into the
various funds and accounts and all payments theretofore required

Resolution and the City must be currently in compliance with the
covenants and provisions of the Resolution and any supplemental
resolution hereafter adopted for the issuance of additional parity

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 the Resolution or previously issued additional parity
Bonds, if the City shall cause to be delivered a certificate of
the Finance Director of the City setting forth ( i) the Maximum
Annual Debt Service (A) with respect to the Bonds of all Series
Outstanding immediately prior to the date of authentcation 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

such purposes .
BOND INSURANCE
Concurrently with the issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds,
Financial Guaranty Insurance Company ( "Financial Guaranty" ) will
issue its Municipal Bond New Issue Insurance Policy for the Series
1988 Bonds (the "Policy" ) . The Policy unconditionally guarantees
the payment of that portion of the principal of and interest on
the Series 1988 Bonds which has become due for payment, but shall
be unpaid by reason of nonpayment by the City. Financial Guaranty
will make such payments to Citibank, N.A. , or its successor as its
agent (the "Fiscal Agent" ) , on the later of the date on which such
principal and interest is due or on the business day next
following the day on which Financial Guaranty shall have received
telephonic or telegraphic notice, subsequently confirmed in
writing, or written notice by registered or certified mail, from
an Owner of Series 1988 Bonds or the Paying Agent of the
nonpayment of such amount by the City. The Fiscal Agent will
disburse such amount due on any Series 1988 Bond to its owner upon
receipt by the Fiscal Agent of evidence satisfactory to the
Fiscal Agent of the owner ' s right to receive payment of the
principal and interest due for payment and evidence, including any
appropriate instruments of assignment, that all of such owner ' s
rights to payment of such principal and interest shall be vested
in Financial Guaranty. The term "nonpayment" in respect of a
Series 1988 Bond includes any payment of principal or interest
made to an owner of a Series 1988 Bond which has been recovered
from such owner pursuant to the United State Bankruptcy Code by a
trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with a final, nonappealable
order of a court having competent jurisdiction.
The Policy is non-cancellable and the premium will be fully
paid at the time of delivery of the Series 1988 Bonds . The Policy
covers failure to pay principal of the Series 1988 Bonds on their
respective stated maturity dates, or dates on which the same shall
have been called for mandatory sinking fund redemption, and not on
any other date on which the Series 1988 Bonds may have been
accelerated, and covers the failure to pay an installment of
interest on the stated date for its payment.

RESORT TAX
Pursuant to Chapter 67-930, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1967 , as
amended, and City Ordinance 1727, as amended, codified as Chapter
41, Article V on the City Code, the City imposes, levies and
-9- , +
X30
collects a municipal resort tax of two percent ( 2%) upon certain
rentals of a room or rooms in any hotel, motel, apartment house,
rooming house, tourist or trailer camp and a tax not to exceed two
percent ( 2%) upon the retail sale price of all items of food,
beverages and alcoholic beverages other than beer or malted
beverages, sold at retail for consumption on the premises of any
place of business required by law to be licensed by the State Hotel
and Restaurant Commission or by the State Beverage Department ( the
"Resort Tax" ) . Under this Florida Statute, the funds from the
collection of the Resort Tax may be used for the following purposes
only: creation and maintenance of convention and publicity bureaus,
cultural and art centers, enhancement of tourism, publicity and
advertising purposes, and for future costs, purchase, building,
designing, engineering, planning, repairing, reconditioning,
altering, expanding, maintaining, servicing and otherwise operating
auditoriums, community houses, convention halls, convention
buildings or structures, and other related purposes, including
relief from ad valorem taxes heretofore levied for such purposes.
The City may increase the Resort Tax upon certain room rents to
four percent ( 4% ) upon affirmative vote of the electorate. The
City agrees in the Resolution that so long as any of the principal
of or interest on the Bonds remains unpaid, it will not repeal
Ordinance 1727 , reduce the rate of the Resort Tax, or amend or
modify Ordinance 1727 so as to impair or adversely affect the power
and obligation of the City to levy and collect the Resort Tax or
adversely affect the pledge of the Resort Tax revenues and other
funds pledged to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds .
Heretofore, the Resort Tax Revenues were pledged as part of
the security for the payment of debt service on the Series 1969
Bonds. As described above, the Series 1969 Bonds will be refunded
with a portion of the proceeds of the Series 1988 Bonds, thereby
releasing the City from its obligation to dedicate the Resort Tax
to payment of debt service on the Series 1969 Bonds .
In addition, one-half of the Resort Tax Revenues are pledged
to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority created by
ordinances of the City which are codified as Chapter 41, Article VI
of the City Code, as amended ( the "Authority" ) . Concurrent with
the issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds the Authority and the City
shall take such action to subordinate the Authority ' s interest in
the Resort Tax Revenues as described above to the City ' s payment
obligations under the Resolution, including payment of the Series
1988 Bonds. See "Security-Resort Tax Fund" .
The revenue realized by the City from the Resort Tax, after
deducting collection and administrative expenses, for the past four
fiscal years ended September 30, 1987, and for the ten months
ended July 31, 1988, are as follows :
-10- 31

1985 $3 , 517,784
1986 $3,641,790
1987 $4, 205,157
ten months ended 7/31/88 $3,916,830 ( 2 )
TAX EXEMPTION
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ( the "Code" ) ,
includes requirements which the City must continue to meet after
the issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds in order that interest on
the Series 1988 Bonds not be included in gross income for federal
income tax purposes. The City ' s failure to meet these
requirements may cause interest on the Series 1988 Bonds to be
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes
retroactive to their date of issuance. The City has covenanted in
the Resolution to take the actions required by the Code in order
to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax
purposes of interest on the Series 1988 Bonds .
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming continuing
compliance by the City with the tax covenants referred to above,
under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions,
interest on the Series 1988 Bonds is excluded from gross income
for federal income tax purposes . Interest on the Series 1988
Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations;
however , interest on the Series 1988 Bonds is taken into account
in determining adjusted net book income (adjusted current earnings
for taxable years beginning after 1989 ) for purposes of computing
the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations . Bond Counsel
is further of the opinion that the Series 1988 Bonds and the
interest thereon are exempt from taxation under the laws of the
State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed by
(1)Based upon information from the City' s financial statements as
audited by its independent certified public accountants, Touche
Ross & Co.
( 2)Unaudited.
-11- 0' 32
Chapter 220, Florida Statutes, on interest, income or profits on
debt obligations owned by corporations as defined therein.
Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no
opinion regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting
from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or
disposition of the Series 1988 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of
Series 1988 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of Series
1988 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax
consequences, including ( i ) the denial of a deduction for interest
on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry Series
1988 Bonds or , in the case of a financial institution, that
portion of the owner ' s interest expense allocable to interest on a
Series 1988 Bond, ( ii ) the reduction of the loss reserve deduction
for property and casualty insurance companies by 15 percent of
certain items, including interest on Series 1988 Bonds, ( iii ) for
taxable years beginning before 1992, the inclusion of interest on
Series 1988 Bonds in "modified alternative minimum taxable income"
for purposes of the environmental tax imposed on corporations,
( iv) the inclusion of interest on Series 1988 Bonds in the
earnings of certain foreign corporations doing business in the
United States for purposes of a branch profits tax, (v) the
inclusion of interest on Series 1988 Bonds in the passive income
subject to federal income taxation of certain Subchapter S
corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close
of the taxable year and (vi) the inclusion in gross income of
certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits by reason
of receipt of interest on the 1988 Bonds .
LITIGATION
There is no litigation pending or threatened that seeks to
restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Series 1988
Bonds or the proceedings or authority under which they are to be
issued or delivered. There is no litigation pending or threatened
which, in any manner, questions the right of the City to pledge
its Resort Tax Revenues as described herein to the repayment of
the Series 1988 Bonds . There is no litigation pending or
threatened which would have a material adverse effect upon the
City' s financial condition or its ability to collect the Resort
Tax.

approving opinion of Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen &

APPENDIX A
GENERAL INFORMATION - CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
Introduction
The City of Miami Beach comprises seven square miles of land
area and ten square miles of water area located in Dade County,
Florida. The weather lends a tropical ambiance to Miami Beach
with an average year-round temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit,
24 degrees Celsius. The City is linked to mainland Metropolitan
Dade County by four causeways - John F. Kennedy at the northern
end, Julia Tuttle at the mid-point and the Venetian and MacArthur
Causeways at the southern end.
The City experienced a building and population boom during
the 1920 ' s, 1930 ' s and 1940 ' s . This "boom" is preserved via the
Art Deco District, a one square mile neighborhood bounded by 6th
and 23rd Streets to the north and south, and by Alton Road and
Ocean Drive at its east/west boundaries . This area received
official designation as a historic district when listed in the
National Register of Historic Places in 1979 . Hundreds of
apartments, hotels and retail stores feature the classic
architecture of the Art Deco style. The renovation and
preservation of these buildings has been undertaken mainly by
private investors . During 1985 alone, 508 repair and renovation
permits were issued by the City.
In the mid-1950 ' s, the airlines began to provide
comprehensive service to the area and the City evolved as a major
convention destination. During the 1970 ' s, the City was host to
both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions .
Currently, the Miami Beach Convention Center is undergoing
renovations increasing the existing facility to 1 . 1 million
square feet . Ground was broken for the expansion of the Center
on March 26 , 1986 and construction on the site is expected to be
completed in 1988 . The $80 million renovation will modify the
Center into four equal-size halls of 125,000 square feet, each
housing meeting rooms, concession and catering areas and loading
docks . Each hall will have its own canopied entrance, allowing
the facility to house four events at a time or one large event .
An open 8,000-square foot area in the center of the second floor
crossover walkway will transport delegates and conventioneers
through elevators, escalators and stairs, and features a circular
restaurant and cocktail lounge, providing a 360-degree view of the
entire floor space below.

The spirit of renewal and transition can be seen throughout
the City of Miami Beach. In the South Pointe area, in addition to
the Art Deco District renovations, public projects include the
$3 . 5 million South Pointe Park, $9 .8 million in infrastructure
improvements, the $18 million Police and Courts Facility and the
revitalization of the Lummus Park area which includes a
continuation of a beachfront promenade. Private development in
the South Pointe area includes the Crawdaddy ' s restaurant located
in the City ' s South Pointe Park, Penrod' s restaurant to be located
in Pier Park on the beach and the South Pointe Towers development,
a $355 million project including four condominium towers, a luxury
hotel and beach and tennis club.
In the City' s middle area, public projects include the
expansion of the Miami Beach Convention Center , the $22 million
renovation of the Theater of the Performing Arts, as well as the
Garden Center and Conservatory expansion, the 21st Street
Community Center and Walkway, Island View Park and the Beachfront
Park and Promenade, a 1 .8 mile long linear park featuring the
natural woods which stretch along the oceanfront from 21st to 46th
streets . Private development in the area includes the South
Florida Art Center located on Lincoln Road Mall, additions and
renovations to the Alexander Hotel, the Fontainebleau Hilton, the
Doral Hotel and the Eden Roc Hotel, which are currently in
progress or have been completed, and a planned convention center
host hotel which is in the site development stage.
In the north area, a joint project between the State of
Florida and the City of Miami Beach for the expansion of the North
Shore Open Space Park is currently under way. The project
includes the acquisition of privately owned parcels which block
access to the public beaches and the expansion to the north of a
beachfront promenade. The City of Miami Beach Planning Department
has completed a North Shore Revitalization Strategy focusing on
the commercial district along Collins Avenue and down 71st Street .
Phase I of the comprehensive plan is a review process and includes
the organization of a private non-profit development corporation.
Government
The City of Miami Beach is organized under the Commission-
Manager form of government . The governing body of the City is the
City Commission which establishes policies for proper
administration of the City. The City Commission is composed of
seven members, including the Mayor . The Mayor and Commissioners
are elected to their offices by an at-large vote of the citizens;

in "Appendix B - Summary of Certain Provisions of the Resolution. "
PURPOSE
The Series 1988 Bonds are being issued to provide funds that
will be sufficient, together with other available moneys of the
City, to ( i ) advance refund the City of Miami Beach, Florida,

PLAN OF REFUNDING
To effect the refunding of the Prior Bonds, the City is
entering into an Escrow Deposit Agreement ( the "Escrow
Agreement" ) ,, on or prior to delivery of the Series 1988 Bonds,
g
with Southeast Bank, N.A. , Miami , Florida, as Escrow Agent ( the
"Escrow Agent" ) . Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement,
the City will deposit a portion of the proceeds of the Series 1988

of such monies will be applied on or after the date of delivery of
the Series 1988 Bonds to the purchase of direct obligations of the
United States of America ( the "Federal Securities" ) . The Federal
Securities will mature at such times and in such amounts so that
sufficient moneys will be available from such maturing principal,
together with interest income to be derived from the Federal

principal al of, interest and redemption premiums , if any, on the
Prior Bonds . The Prior Bonds will be paid therefrom on their
respective maturitydates, with the last maturity date being April
P
1, 1995.

The Series 1988 Bonds are special obligations of the City
payable solely from the Resort Tax Revenues described below and the
moneys and investments in the funds and accounts established under
the Resolution and the income derived from said investments, unless

revenues herein referred to as the "Resort Tax Revenues" ) , and ( ii )
the moneys and investments in each of the funds and accounts
established under the Resolution (other than the Rebate Fund) , and
the income derived from said investments.
The issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds shall not directly or
indirectly or contingently obligate the City to levy any tax or
pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor other than the Resort
Tax and the holders of the Series 1988 Bonds shall have no recourse
to the City ' s power of taxation other than the Resort Tax.
Resort Tax Revenues
The City has covenanted in the Resolution to maintain a fund
into which all Resort Tax Revenues are to be deposited ( the "Resort
Tax Fund" ) . Under the Resolution the City' s monthly collections of
Resort Tax Revenues are to be deposited in the Resort Tax Fund and
must be used in the following order of priority:
(1) Resort Tax Revenues shall first be used, to the full
extent necessary, for deposit into an "Interest Account"
established under the Resolution on the fifteenth ( 15th) day of
each month, beginning with the fifteenth ( 15th) day of the first
full calendar month following the date on which any or all of the
Bonds are delivered to the purchaser thereof, of such sums as shall
be sufficient to pay one-sixth ( 1/6th) of the interest becoming due
on the Bonds on the next semi-annual Interest Payment Date;
provided, however , that such monthly deposits 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.

In the event that the period to elapse between the date of the
delivery of the Bonds and the next semi-annual interest payment
date will be other than six ( 6 ) months, then such monthly payments
shall be adjusted to provide the required interest amount becoming
due and payable on the next interest payment date.
( 2) (a) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the full
extent necessary, for deposit in a "Principal Account" established
under the Resolution on the fifteenth ( 15th) day of each month in
each year , of one-sixth ( 1/6th) of the principal amount of Serial
Bonds which will mature and become due on such semi-annual maturity
dates and one-twelfth ( 1/12th) of the principal amount of Serial
Bonds which will mature and become due on such annual maturity
dates, beginning on such dates, as shall be determined by
proceedings of the City; provided, however, that such monthly
deposits 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.
In the event the period to elapse between the date of the
delivery of the Bonds and the next principal payment date will be
other than six ( 6) months, in the case of Serial Bonds which mature
semi-annually, or twelve ( 12) months, in the case of Serial Bonds
which mature annually, then such monthly payments shall be
increased or decreased, as appropriate, in sufficient amounts to
provide the required principal amount maturing on the next
principal payment date. Any monthly payment of Resort Tax Revenues
to be deposited as set forth above for the purpose of meeting
payments of principal of the Bonds, shall be adjusted, as
appropriate, to reflect the frequency of principal payments
applicable to such Series .
(b) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the full
extent necessary, for deposit into a "Bond Redemption Account"
established under the Resolution on the fifteenth ( 15th) day of
each month in each year , beginning on such date, of such
Ammortization Requirements as may be required for the payment of
the Term Bonds payable from the Bond Redemption Account, as shall
be determined by proceedings of the City.
The moneys in the Bond Redemption Account shall be used solely
for the purchase or redemption of the Term Bonds payable therefrom.
The City 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 City may purchase said
Term Bonds at prices not greater than the redemption price of such
Term Bonds on the next ensuing redemption date. The City shall be
mandatorily obligated to use any moneys in the Bond Redemption
Account for the redemption prior to maturity of such Term Bonds in
such manner and at such times as shall be determined by subsequent
proceedings of the City; provided, that the City shall not be
obligated to redeem such Term Bonds prior to maturity unless and
until there are sufficient moneys on deposit in the Bond Redemption
-7-
Account to provide for the redemption of at least Twenty Five
Thousand Dollars ( $25, 000 ) principal amount of Term Bonds at any
one time. If, by the application of moneys in the Bond Redemption
Account, the City 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 Finance Director
shall determine over the remaining payment dates .
No distinction or preference shall exist in the use of the
moneys on deposit in the Resort Tax Fund for payment into the
Interest Account , the Principal Account and the Bond Redemption
Account , such accounts being on a parity with each other as to
payment from the Resort Tax Fund.
( 3) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the full
extent necessary, for deposit into the "Debt Service Reserve
Account" established under the Resolution on the fifteenth ( 15th)
day of each month in each year , beginning with the fifteenth ( 15th)
day of the first full calendar month following the date on which
any or all of the Bonds issued hereunder are delivered to the
purchaser thereof, such sums as shall be at least sufficient to pay
an amount equal to one-sixtieth ( 1/60th) of the difference of the
amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Account ( including
any Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of
Credit, as defined below) and the Maximum Annual Debt Service 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 Maximum Annual Debt Service for the
Bonds Outstanding.
In the event that any moneys shall be withdrawn from the Debt
Service Reserve Account for payments into the Interest Account,
Principal Account and Bond Redemption Account, such withdrawals
shall be subsequently restored in the manner described in the
previous paragraph from the first Resort Tax Revenues or funds
available after all required payments have been made into the
Interest Account , Principal Account and Bond Redemption Account,
including any deficiencies for prior payments unless restored by
the reinstatement of the maximum limits of a Reserve Account
Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of Credit .

RESORT TAX
Pursuant to the Resort Tax Act and City Ordinance 1727 , as
amended, codified as Chapter 41 , Article V of the City Code, the
City imposes, levies and collects a municipal resort tax of two
percent ( 2% ) upon certain rentals of rooms in any hotel , motel ,
apartment house or rooming house and upon the retail sale price of
all items of food, beverages , alcoholic beverages or wine, other
than beer or malted beverages , sold at retail for consumption on
the premises of any place of business required by law to be
licensed by the State Hotel and Restaurant Commission or by the
State Beverage Department ( the "Resort Tax" ) . Under the Resort Tax
Act , the funds from the collection of the Resort Tax may be used
for the following purposes only: creation and maintenance of
convention and publicity bureaus, cultural and art centers ,
enhancement of tourism, publicity and advertising purposes, and for
future costs, purchase, building, designing, engineering, planning ,
repairing, reconditioning, altering, expanding, maintaining,
servicing and otherwise operating auditoriums, community houses,
convention halls, convention buildings or structures , and other
related purposes, including relief from ad valorem taxes heretofore
levied for such purposes. The City may increase the Resort Tax
levied upon certain room rents to four percent ( 4% ) upon
affirmative vote of the electorate. The City agrees in the
Resolution that so long as any of the principal of or interest on
the Bonds remains unpaid, it will not repeal Ordinance 1727 , reduce
the rate of the Resort Tax, or amend or modify Ordinance 1727 so as
to impair or adversely affect the power and obligation of the City
to levy and collect the Resort Tax or adversely affect the pledge
of the Resort Tax Revenues and other funds pledged to pay the
principal of and interest on the Bonds.
Heretofore, the Resort Tax Revenues were pledged as part of
the security for the payment of debt service on the Series 1969
Bonds . As described above, the Series 1969 Bonds will be refunded
with a portion of the proceeds of the Series 1988 Bonds , thereby
releasing the City from its obligation to dedicate the Resort Tax
to payment of debt service on the Series 1969 Bonds .
In addition, one-half of the Resort Tax Revenues are pledged
to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority created by
ordinances of the City which are codified as Chapter 41 , Article VI
of the City Code, as amended ( the "Authority" ) . Concurrent with
the issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds the Authority and the City

the Resort Tax Revenues as described above to the City ' s payment
obligations under the Resolution, including payment of the Series
1988 Bonds .

TAX EXEMPTION
The Internal Revenue Code of 1986 , as amended ( the "Code" ) ,
includes requirements which the City must continue to meet after
the issuance of the Series 1988 Bonds in order that interest on
the Series 1988 Bonds not be included in gross income for federal
income tax purposes . The City' s failure to meet these
requirements may cause interest on the Series 1988 Bonds to be
included in gross income for federal income tax purposes
retroactive to their date of issuance. The City has covenanted in
the Resolution to take the actions required by the Code in order
to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax
purposes of interest on the Series 1988 Bonds .
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming continuing
compliance by the City with the tax covenants referred to above,
under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions,
interest on the Series 1988 Bonds is excluded from gross income
for federal income tax purposes . Interest on the Series 1988
Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations;
however , interest on the Series 1988 Bonds is taken into account
in determining adjusted net book income (adjusted current earnings
for taxableY ears beginning after 1989 ) for purposes of computing
orations . Bond Counsel
the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations .
is further of the opinion that the Series 1988 Bonds and the
interest thereon are exempt from taxation under the laws of the
State of Florida, except as to estate taxes and taxes imposed by
Chapter 220, Florida Statutes , on interest , income or profits on
debt obligations owned by corporations as defined therein.
Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no
opinion regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting
P
from the ownership of , receipt or accrual of interest on, or
disposition of the Series 1988 Bonds . Prospective purchasers of
Series 1988 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of Series
1988 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax
consequences, including ( i ) the denial of a deduction for interest
on indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry Series
1988 Bonds or , in the case of a financial institution, that
portion of the owner ' s interest expense allocable to interest on a
Series 1988 Bond, ( ii ) the reduction of the loss reserve deduction
forro ert and casualty insurance companies by 15 percent of
P P Y
certain items, including interest on Series 1988 Bonds , ( iii ) for
taxable years beginning before 1992, the inclusion of interest on
Series 1988 Bonds in "modified alternative minimum taxable income"
forur oses of the environmental tax imposed on corporations,
P P
( iv) the inclusion of interest on Series 1988 Bonds in the
earnings of certain foreign corporations doing business in the
United States for purposes of a branch profits tax, (v) the
inclusion of interest on Series 1988 Bonds in the passive income
subject to federal income taxation of certain Subchapter S
-14-
corporations with Subchapter C earnings and profits at the close
of the taxable year and (vi ) the inclusion in gross income of
certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits by reason
of receipt of interest on the Series 1988 Bonds .
LITIGATION
There is no litigation pending or threatened that seeks to
restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Series 1988
Bonds or the proceedings or authority under which they are to be
issued or delivered. There is no litigation pending or threatened
which, in any manner , questions the right of the City to pledge
its Resort Tax Revenues as described herein to the repayment of
the Series 1988 Bonds . There is no litigation pending or
threatened which would have a material adverse effect upon the
City ' s financial condition or its ability to collect the Resort
Tax.
RATINGS
It is expected that Moody' s Investors Service, Inc. and
Standard & Poor ' s Corporation will give ratings of Aaa and AAA,
respectively, to the Series 1988 Bonds on the understanding that
upon delivery of the 1988 Bonds, the Policy insuring the payment
when due of the principal of and interest on the Series 1988 Bonds
will be issued by Financial Guaranty. Such ratings reflect the
respective views of such organizations and an explanation of the
significance of such ratings may be obtained only from the rating
agency furnishing the same . There is no assurance that such
ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time or that
they will not be revised downwards or withdrawn entirely by either
or both such rating agencies, if, in the judgment of either or
both, circumstances so warrant . Any such downward revision or
withdrawal by such rating agencies, or either of them, may have an
adverse effect on the market prices of the 1988 Bonds .
LEGALITY
The Series 1988 Bonds will be accompanied at delivery with an
approving opinion of Greenberg, Traurig, Hoffman, Lipoff, Rosen &
Quentel, P.A. , Miami , Florida, Bond Counsel, in substantially the
form attached hereto as Appendix D. Certain legal matters will be

APPENDIX A
GENERAL INFORMATION - CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
Introduction
The City of Miami Beach comprises seven square miles of land
area and ten square miles of water area located in Dade County,
Florida. The weather lends a tropical ambiance to Miami Beach
with an average year-round temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit,
24 degrees Celsius . The City is linked to mainland Metropolitan
Dade County by four causeways John F. Kennedy at the northern
end, Julia Tuttle at the mid-point and the Venetian and MacArthur
Causeways at the southern end.
The City experienced a building and population boom during
the 1920 ' s, 1930 ' s and 1940 ' s . This "boom" is preserved via the
Art Deco District, a one square mile neighborhood bounded by 6th
and 23rd Streets to the north and south, and by Alton Road and
Ocean Drive at its east/west boundaries . This area received
official designation as a historic district when listed in the
National Register of Historic Places in 1979 . Hundreds of
apartments, hotels and retail stores feature the classic
architecture of the Art Deco style. The renovation and
preservation of these buildings has been undertaken mainly by
private investors. During 1985 alone, 508 repair and renovation
permits were issued by the City.
In the mid-1950 ' s, the airlines began to provide
comprehensive service to the area and the City evolved as a major
convention destination. During the 1970 ' s, the City was host to
both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions .
Currently, the Miami Beach Convention Center is undergoing
renovations increasing the existing facility to 1 . 1 million

There follows a summary of certain provisions of the Resolution. This
summary does not purport to be a full statement of the terms of the Resolution
and reference is made to the Resolution for a full and complete statement of
such provisions. Capitalized terms used in this summary that are not defined
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Resolution.
Definitions
As used in this Appendix and the Resolution, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
"Accreted Value" shall mean, as of any date of computation with respect
to any Capital Appreciation Bond, an amount equal to the principal amount of
such Capital Appreciation Bond (the principal amount at its initial offering)
plus the interest accrued on such Capital Appreciation Bond from the date of
delivery to the original purchasers thereof to the Interest Payment Date next
preceding the date of computation or the date of computation if an Interest
Payment Date, such interest to accrue at a rate not exceeding the legal rate
as set forth in the resolution of the Commission providing for the issuance of
such Bonds, compounded periodically, plus, with respect to matters related to
the payment upon redemption or acceleration of the Capital Appreciation Bonds,
if such date of computation shall not be an Interest Payment Date, a portion
of the difference between the Accreted Value as of the immediately preceding
Interest Payment Date (or the date of original issuance if the date of compu-
tation is prior to the first Interest Payment Date succeeding the date of
original issuance) and the Accreted Value as of the immediately succeeding
Interest Payment Date, calculated based on the assumption that Accreted Value
accrues in equal daily amounts on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.
"Act" shall mean Chapter 67-930, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1967, as
amended, and Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, as amended, the Miami Beach City
Charter, as amended, and Chapter 41, Article V of the Miami Beach City Code.
"Amortization Requirements" shall mean such moneys required to be
deposited in the Bond Redemption Account for the purpose of the mandatory
redemption or payment at maturity of any Term Bonds, the specific amounts and
times of such deposits to be determined by the Commission in the resolution
authorizing the issuance of such Term Bonds.
"Annual Debt Service Requirement" for any period, as applied to the Bonds
of any Series, shall mean the respective amounts which are needed to pro-
vide: (a) for paying the interest on all Bonds of such Series then Outstand-
ing which is payable on each Interest Payment Date in such period, (b) for
paying the principal of all Serial Bonds of such Series then Outstanding which
is payable upon the maturity of such Serial Bonds in such period, and (c) the
Amortization Requirements, if any, for the Term Bonds of such Series for such
period.
For purposes of computing (a) , (b) and (c) above, any principal, interest
or Amortization Requirements due on October 1 in a Fiscal Year shall be deemed
due in the preceding Fiscal Year.
B-1
The following rules shall apply in determining the amount of the Annual
Debt Service Requirement for any period:
(a) The interest rate on Variable Rate Bonds shall be assumed to
be 110% of the greater of (A) the daily average interest rate on such
Variable Rate Bonds during the twelve months ending with the month pre-
ceding the date of calculation or such shorter period that such Variable
Rate Bonds shall have been Outstanding under this Resolution, and (B) the
actual rate of interest on such Variable Rate Bonds on the date of calcu-
lation; provided, however, that so long as the Series 1988 Bonds are
insured by the Series 1988 Bond Insurance Policy, the interest rate on
Variable Rate Bonds shall be assumed to be (i) 9.2% for purposes of
determining the amount required to be deposited in the Debt Service
Reserve Account in respect of such Variable Rate Bonds and (ii) the
maximum rate permitted to be borne by said Variable Rate Bonds for pur-
poses of the issuance of additional parity bonds as provided in the
Resolution.
(b) In the case of Put Bonds, the "put" date or dates shall be
ignored if the source for payment of said "put" is a Credit Facility or a
Liquidity Facility and the stated dates for Amortization Requirements and
principal payments shall be used, and in the case of Bonds secured by a
Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility, the terms of the reimbursement
obligation to the issuers thereof shall be ignored and the stated dates
for Amortization Requirements for Term Bonds and principal payments shall
be used; provided, however, that during any period of time after the
issuer of a Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility has advanced funds
thereunder, the reimbursement obligation of which is payable from and
secured on a parity with the Bonds and before such amount is repaid,
Annual Debt Service Requirements shall include the principal amount so
advanced and interest thereon, in accordance with the principal repayment
schedule and interest rate or rates specified in the Credit Facility or
Liquidity Facility, in lieu of the stated principal of and Amortization
Requirements and interest on such Bonds;
(c) In the case of Extendible Maturity Bonds, the Bonds shall be
deemed to mature on the later of the stated maturity date or the date to
which such stated maturity date has been extended;
(d) In the case of Capital Appreciation Bonds, the principal and
interest portions of the Accreted Value of Capital Appreciation Bonds
becoming due at maturity or by virtue of an amortization requirement
shall be included in the calculations of accrued and unpaid Annual Debt
Service Requirements in the year in which said principal and interest
portions are due and payable;
(e) In the case of Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds, the
principal and interest portions of the Appreciated Value of Capital
Appreciation and Income Bonds shall be included in the calculations of
accrued and unpaid Annual Debt Service Requirements in the year in which
said principal and interest portions are due and payable;

Covenants of the City
The City covenants and agrees with the holders of any and all of the
Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution as follows:
A. Tax Covenants. (1) The City will not take any action or omit to
take any action, which action or omission, if reasonably expected on the date
of initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds, would result in inclusion in
gross income for Federal income tax purposes under Section 103(a) of the Code,
of interest on the Bonds. Particularly, the City will not take any action or
omit to take any action, which action or omission, if reasonably expected on
the date of the initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds, would have caused
any of the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of
the Code.
(2) The City shall comply with the arbitrage rebate covenants as
provided under the subheading "Rebate Fund" below.
B. Levy and Collection of Resort Tax. The City has covenanted and
agreed that as long as any of the principal of or interest on any Series of
Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution is unpaid, or payment thereof not duly
provided for, it will not repeal Ordinance 1727, as amended, codified as
Chapter 41, Article V of the City Code pursuant to which the Resort Tax is
levied, and will not reduce the rate of the Resort Tax, or amend or modify
said City Code provisions, in any manner so as to impair or adversely affect
the power and obligation of the City to levy and collect the Resort Tax, or
impair or adversely affect in any manner the pledge of the Pledged Funds, or
the rights of holders of Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution, and the City
shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated, as long as any of the
Bonds, or interest thereon, are outstanding and unpaid, to levy and collect
B-9
the Resort Tax at not less than the rate now being levied by the City, to the
full extent necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds and
any reserves therefor.
C. Resort Tax Fund. As soon as the same are received by the City, all
of the Resort Tax Revenues shall be forthwith deposited in a special fund
designated as the "Resort Tax Fund" which fund shall be deemed a continuation
of the Resort Tax Fund established pursuant to the 1969 Resolution. The
Resort Tax Fund shall constitute a trust fund for the purposes provided in the
Resolution and shall be maintained separate and distinct from all other funds
of the City and used only for the purposes and in the manner provided in the
Resolution.
D. Disposition of Resort Tax Revenues. The Resolution creates and
establishes the "Resort Tax Sinking Fund" (hereinafter referred to as the
"Sinking Fund"). Also created are 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 Resort Tax
Fund and the Sinking Fund shall be deposited in a bank or trust company in the
State which is eligible under State laws to receive deposits of municipal
funds.
All Resort Tax Revenues at any time on deposit in the Resort Tax Fund
shall be disposed of only in the following manner:
(1) Resort Tax Revenues shall first be used, to the full extent
necessary, for deposit into the Interest Account in the Sinking Fund, on
the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, beginning with the fifteenth
(15th) day of the first full calendar month following the date on which
any or all of the Bonds are delivered to the purchaser thereof, of such
sums as shall be sufficient to pay one-sixth (1/6th) of the interest
becoming due on the Bonds on the next semi-annual Interest Payment Date;
provided, however, that such monthly deposits 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 and, provided further,
that in the event the City has issued additional parity Variable Rate
Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Resolution, Resort Tax Revenues
shall be deposited at such other or additional times and amounts as
necessary to pay the interest becoming due on the Variable Rate Bonds on
the next Interest Payment Date, all in the manner provided in the supple-
mental resolution authorizing such additional parity Variable Rate Bonds
or in a resolution determining the details of Variable Rate Bonds that
have been authorized but unissued.
In the event the City shall issue Variable Rate Bonds, the amount
required to be deposited in the Interest Account for the payment of
interest on such Variable Rate Bonds shall be calculated as of the first
day of each Fiscal Year and shall be based upon one hundred ten per
centum (110%) of the greater of (i) the average daily interest rate on
such Variable Rate Bonds during the preceding Fiscal Year, or (ii) the
actual rate of interest applicable to such Variable Rate Bonds on the
date of calculation.
B-10
The City shall, on each Interest Payment Date, transfer to the
Paying Agent moneys in an amount equal to the interest due on such Inter-
est Payment Date or shall advise the Paying Agent of the amount of any
deficiency in the amount so transferred 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.
In the event that the period to elapse between the date of the
delivery of the Bonds and the next semi-annual interest payment date will
be other than six (6) months, then such monthly payments shall be
adjusted to provide the required interest amount becoming due and payable
on the next interest payment date.
(2) (a) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the full
extent necessary for deposit in the Principal Account in the Sinking
Fund, on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month in each year, of one-
sixth (1/6th) of the principal amount of Serial Bonds which will mature
and become due on such semi-annual maturity dates and one-twelfth
(1/12th) of the principal amount of Serial Bonds which will mature and
become due on such annual maturity dates, beginning on such dates, as
shall hereafter be determined by subsequent proceedings of the City;
provided, however, that such monthly deposits 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 City 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 so transferred 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.
In the event the period to elapse between the date of delivery of
the Bonds and the next principal payment date will be other than six (6)
months, in the case of Serial Bonds which mature semi-annually, or twelve
(12) months, in the case of Serial Bonds which mature annually, then such
monthly payments shall be increased or decreased, as appropriate, in
sufficient amounts to provide the required principal amount maturing on
the next principal payment date. Any monthly payment of Resort Tax
Revenues to be deposited as set forth above for the purpose of meeting
payments of principal of the Bonds, shall be adjusted, as appropriate, to
reflect the frequency of principal payments applicable to such Series.
(b) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the full
extent necessary, for deposit into the Bond Redemption Account in the
Sinking Fund on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month in each year,
beginning on such date, of such Amortization Requirements as may be
B-11
required for the payment of the Term Bonds payable from the Bond Redemp-
tion Account, as shall hereafter be determined by subsequent proceedings
of the City.
The moneys in the Bond Redemption Account shall be used
solely for the purchase or redemption of the Term Bonds payable there-
from. The City 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 City may purchase said Term
Bonds at prices not greater than the redemption price of such Term Bonds
on the next ensuing redemption date. The City shall be mandatorily
obligated to use any moneys in the Bond Redemption Account for the
redemption prior to maturity of such Term Bonds in such manner and at
such times as shall be determined by subsequent proceedings of the City;
provided, that the City shall not be obligated to redeem such Term Bonds
prior to maturity unless and until there are sufficient moneys on deposit
in the Bond Redemption Account to provide for the redemption of at least
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) principal amount of Term Bonds at
any one time. If, by the application of moneys in the Bond Redemption
Account, the City 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 Finance Director shall determine over the
remaining payment dates.
No distinction or preference shall exist in the use of the
moneys on deposit in the Resort Tax Fund for payment into the Interest
Account, the Principal Account and the Bond Redemption Account, such
accounts being on a parity with each other as to payment from the Resort
Tax Fund.
(3) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used, to the full extent
necessary, for deposit into the Debt Service Reserve Account on the
fifteenth (15th) day of each month in each year, beginning with the
fifteenth (15th) day of the first full calendar month following the date
on which any or all of the Bonds issued under the Resolution are
delivered to the purchaser thereof, such sums as shall be at least
sufficient to pay an amount equal to one-sixtieth (1/60) 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 Maximum Annual Debt Service 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 Maximum Annual Debt Service for the Bonds Outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of or in substi-
tute for the required deposits of Resort Tax Revenues (including existing
deposits of Resort Tax Revenues) into the Debt Service Reserve Account,
and so long as the Series 1988 Bonds are insured by the Series 1988 Bond
B-12
Insurance Policy with the prior consent of the Series 1988 Bond Insurer,
the City 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 in an amount
equal to the difference between the Maximum Annual Debt Service for the
Bonds Outstanding and the sums then on deposit in the Debt Service
Reserve Account, if any, 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 Date on which a deficiency exists
which cannot be cured by moneys in any other fund or account held pursu-
ant to the Resolution and available for such purpose. If a disbursement
is made under the Reserve Account Insurance Policy or the Reserve Account
Letter of Credit, the City shall be obligated to either reinstate the
maximum limits of such Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve
Account Letter of Credit immediately following such disbursement equal to
the Maximum Annual Debt Service for the Bonds Outstanding or to deposit
into the Debt Service Reserve Account from the Resort Tax Revenues, as
provided in the Resolution, 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 Maximum
Annual Debt Service for the Bonds Outstanding.
In the event that any moneys shall be withdrawn from the Debt
Service Reserve Account for payments into the Interest Account, Principal
Account and Bond Redemption Account, such withdrawals shall be subse-
quently restored in the manner described in the first paragraph of
subsection (3) from the first Resort Tax Revenues or funds available
after all required payments have been made into the Interest Account,
Principal Account and Bond Redemption Account, including any deficiencies
for prior payments unless restored by the reinstatement of the maximum
limits of a Reserve Account Insurance Policy or Reserve Account Letter of
Credit.
Moneys in 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 Resort Tax Fund or any other fund or account held
pursuant to the Resolution and available for such purpose are insuffi-
cient therefor.
Any moneys in the Debt Service Reserve Account in excess of the
Maximum Annual Debt Service for the Bonds Outstanding may, in the discre-
tion of the City, be transferred to and deposited in the Interest
Account, the Principal Account or the Bond Redemption Account as the City
at its option may determine.
The Debt Service Reserve Account shall be valued at least once 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 pre-
mium above or a discount below par, shall mean the value at any given
B-13
date obtained by dividing the total premium or discount at which such
securities were purchased by the number of interest payment dates remain-
ing 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 the
purchase price, and (ii) in the case of securities purchased at a dis-
count, by adding the product thus obtained to the purchase price.
(4) Resort Tax Revenues shall next be used for the payment of any
subordinated obligations hereafter issued by the City in accordance with
the Resolution, which subordinate obligations shall have such lien on the
Resort Tax Revenues as the City shall determine in the proceedings
authorizing the issuance of such subordinated obligations.
(5) Thereafter, the balance of any Resort Tax Revenues remaining
in said Resort Tax Fund shall, subject to the tax covenants of the City
under the Resolution, be used by the City for any lawful purposes;
provided, however, that none of such Resort Tax 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 the foregoing or any other provision in the Resolution to
the contrary, failure to make the scheduled payments specified therein shall
not constitute a breach of the City' s obligations under the 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
or Principal Account, as the case may be. If the amounts deposited in any
month pursuant to the Resolution shall be less than the amounts required, the
requirement shall be cumulative and the amount of the deficiency in any month
shall be added to the amount otherwise required to be deposited in each month
thereafter until such time as all such deficiencies have been made up.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in the Resolution 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 or a
Liquidity Facility, amounts deposited in such relevant account may be paid, to
the extent required, to the issuer of the Credit Facility or Liquidity Facil-
ity having therefore made said corresponding payment.
E. Rebate Fund. There is created and established under the Resolu-
tion, the "Rebate Fund" which fund shall be maintained separate and apart from
all other funds and accounts held by the City. Notwithstanding anything in
the Resolution to the contrary, the City shall transfer or cause to be
transferred the amounts required to be transferred in order to comply with the
arbitrage rebate covenants contained in a certificate to be executed and
delivered by the City in connection with the issuance of each Series of
B-14
Bonds. The City shall make or cause to be made 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
City 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 the Resolution the Rebate Fund, together with all
moneys and securities from time to time held therein and all investment
earnings derived therefrom. The City shall not be required to comply with the
requirements of this section in the event that the City 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 the Bonds and/or (ii) compliance with some other
requirement is necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross income for
Federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds.
F. Investment of Funds. The Resort Tax Fund, the Sinking Fund,
including the Interest Account, Principal Account, Bond Redemption Account and
Debt Service Reserve Account and the Cost of Issuance Fund and all other
special funds (other than the Rebate Fund) created and established by the
Resolution shall constitute trust funds in favor of the Bondholders and shall
be invested at the direction of the City as provided in this paragraph.
Moneys on deposit in the Resort Tax Fund, Interest Account, Principal
Account, Bond Redemption Account and Cost of Issuance Fund may be invested 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 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 Redemption
Account in the Sinking Fund shall be retained in the respective accounts and
applied as a credit against the obligation of the City to transfer moneys from
the Resort Tax Fund to such accounts.
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 City to transfer moneys from the Resort Tax Fund to such
account, unless the amount in such account shall exceed the Maximum Annual
Debt Service, 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
the Resolution.
All income and earnings received from the investment and reinvestment of
moneys in the Cost of Issuance Fund shall be transferred to the Resort Tax
Fund.
B-15
For the purpose of investing or reinvesting, the City may commingle
moneys in the funds and accounts created and established under the Resolution
(other than the Rebate Fund) in order to achieve greater investment income;
provided that the City shall separately account for the amounts so commingled.
The amounts required to be accounted for in each of the funds and accounts
designated (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 provided in the Resolu-
tion. The designation and establishment of funds and accounts in and by the
Resolution (other than the Rebate Fund) shall not be construed to require the
establishment of any completely independent funds and accounts but rather is
intended solely to constitute an allocation of certain revenues and assets for
certain purposes and to establish such certain priorities for application of
certain revenues and assets as provided in the Resolution.
G. Issuance of Other Obligations Payable out of Resort Tax Revenues.
Except upon the conditions and in the manner provided in the Resolution, the
City 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 the Resolution and the interest
thereon, upon any of the Pledged Funds; provided that the City may enter into
agreements with issuers of Credit Facilities and Liquidity Facilities which
involve liens on Resort Tax Revenues on a parity with that of the Series of
Bonds or portion thereof which is supported by such Credit Facilities or
Liquidity Facilities. Any other obligations, or any similar agreement issued
or entered into by the City, in addition to the Bonds authorized by the
Resolution or additional parity Bonds issued under the terms, restrictions and
conditions contained in the Resolution, shall provide that such obligations
are junior, inferior and subordinate in all respects to the Bonds issued
pursuant to the Resolution as to lien on and source and security for payment
from the Resort Tax Revenues and in all other respects. Nothing in the
Resolution shall be deemed to prohibit the City from entering into currency
swaps or other arrangements for pledging interest rates on any indebtedness.
H. Issuance of Additional Parity Bonds. No additional parity Bonds,
payable on a parity with Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution out of
Pledged Funds shall be issued after the issuance of any Bonds pursuant to the
Resolution unless the following, among other conditions, are complied with:
(1) The City 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 the Resolution and the
City must be currently in compliance with the covenants and provisions of
the Resolution and any supplemental resolution hereafter adopted for the
issuance of additional parity Bonds; unless upon the issuance of such
additional parity Bonds the City will be in compliance with all such
covenants and provisions.
B-16
(2) The amount of the Resort Tax Revenues during the immediate
preceding Fiscal Year or any twelve (12) consecutive months selected by
the City of the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding the issuance
of said additional parity Bonds, as certified by an independent certified
public accountant, were at least equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the Maximum Annual Debt Service on (1) the Bonds originally
issued pursuant to the Resolution and then Outstanding, (2) any addi-
tional parity Bonds theretofore issued and then Outstanding, and (3) the
additional parity Bonds then proposed to be issued.
(3) The City need not comply with subparagraph (2) above 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 substitu-
tion for Bonds originally issued under the Resolution or previously
issued additional parity Bonds, if the City shall cause to be delivered a
certificate of the Finance Director of the City 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.
Additional parity Bonds issued under the Resolution may be Serial Bonds
or Term Bonds and may be Variable Rate Bonds, Capital Appreciation Bonds,
Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds, Extendible Maturity Bonds, Balloon
Bonds, Interim Bonds, Put Bonds and such other types of bonds as may be
marketable from time to time, including, without limitation, taxable Bonds and
Bonds issued in book entry form, as determined by subsequent proceedings of
the City.
I. Remedies. Any holder of Bonds issued under the provisions of the
Resolution or any trustee acting for such Bondholders 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 the Resolution, and may enforce and
compel the performance of all duties required by the Resolution or by any
applicable statutes to be performed by the City or by any officer thereof.
Nothing in the Resolution, however, shall be construed to grant any Holder of
such Bonds any lien on any property of or within the corporate boundaries of
the City, except as provided in the Resolution. No Holder of Bonds, however,
shall have any right in any manner whatever to affect adversely, or prejudice
the security of the Resolution or to express any right under the Resolution
except in the manner provided, and all proceedings at law or in equity shall
be instituted and maintained for the benefit of all Holders of Bonds.
The Holder or Holders of Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of more
than twenty per centum (20%) of Bonds issued under the Resolution then
Outstanding may by a duly executed certificate in writing appoint a trustee
for Holders of Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution with authority to
represent such Bondholders in any legal proceedings for the enforcement and
B-17
protection of the rights of such Bondholders. Such certificate shall be
executed by such Bondholders or their duly authorized attorneys or representa-
tives, and shall be filed in the office of the Finance Director of the City.
Notwithstanding anything in the Resolution to the contrary, so long as
the issuer of a Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility shall not be in
default in its payment obligations under such Credit Facility or a Liquidity
Facility, said issuer shall be deemed to be the holder of all Bonds so secured
for all purposes of this section.
J. Enforcement of Collections. The City will diligently enforce and
collect the Resort Tax Revenues and will take all steps, actions and
proceedings for the enforcement and collection of such Resort Tax Revenues
which shall become delinquent to the full extent permitted or authorized by
applicable laws and regulations. All such Resort Tax Revenues shall, as
collected, be held in trust to be applied as provided in the Resolution and
not otherwise.
K. Discharge and Satisfaction of Bonds. The covenants, liens and
pledges entered into, created or imposed pursuant to the 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:
(1) 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 City may create and
establish by resolution, 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 (a) 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 City may hereafter
create and establish by resolution, 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 the option of the holder thereof, will provide
moneys which shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal, redemp-
tion premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on said Bonds on
or prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof and (b) in the
case of the discharge of the Series 1988 Bonds and so long as the Series
1988 Bonds are insured by the Series 1988 Bond Insurance Policy,
delivering to the Paying Agent a verification report of a nationally
recognized certified public accountant as to the adequacy of such
deposit, together with investment earnings thereon, to pay when due the
principal, redemption premium, if any, and interest due or to become due
B-18
on or prior to the redemption date or maturity date of the Series 1988
Bonds.
Upon such payment or deposit in the amount and manner provided
Bonds shall be deemed to be paid and shall no longer be deemed to be
Outstanding for the purposes of the Resolution and all liability of the
City with respect to said Bonds shall cease, terminate and be completely
discharged and extinguished, and the Holders thereof shall be entitled
for payment solely out of the moneys or securities so deposited; provided
that in the event said Bonds do not mature and are not to be redeemed
within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, the City shall have given the
Registrar and Paying Agent 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 dis-
charge and satisfaction of Bonds shall include the discharge and sat-
isfaction 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.
Modification or Amendment
Except as otherwise provided in the following paragraph, no adverse
material modification or amendment of the Resolution, or of any resolution
amendatory hereof or supplemental hereto, may be made without the consent in
writing of (i) the Holders of more than fifty (50%) per centum in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding or (ii) in case less than all
of the several Series of Bonds then Outstanding are affected by the modifica-
tion or amendment, the Holders of more than fifty (50%) per centum in aggre-
gate principal amount of the Bonds of each Series so affected and Outstanding
at the time such consent is given; provided, however, that no modification or
amendment shall permit a change in the maturity of such Bonds or a reduction
in the rate of interest thereon, or affecting the promise of the City to pay
the principal of and interest on the Bonds, as the same mature or become due,
from the Pledged Funds, or reduce the 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, to the extent any Series of Bonds is
secured by a Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility, then the consent of the
issuer of the Credit Facility or Liquidity Facility shall constitute the
consent of the Holders of such Series.
B-19
1
Any provision of the Resolution expressly recognizing or granting rights
in or to the Series 1988 Bond Insurer may not be amended in any manner which
affects the rights of the Series 1988 Bond Insurer without the prior written
consent of the Series 1988 Bond Insurer. The consent of the Series 1988 Bond
Insurer shall be required in addition to Bondholder consent, when required,
for the execution and delivery of any supplemental resolution or any
amendment, supplement or change to or modification of other documents relating
to the security for the Bonds.
The Resolution may be amended, changed, modified and altered without the
consent of the Holders of Bonds or any Credit Facility or Liquidity
Facility: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in the
Resolution or in any supplemental resolutions or to correct or supplement any
provision contained in the Resolution which may be defective or inconsistent
with any other provisions contained therein; 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 the Resolution, other conditions, limitations
and restrictions to be observed; or (d) to add to the covenants and
agreements of the City in the Resolution other covenants and agreements
thereafter to be observed by the City or to surrender any right or power
reserved to or conferred upon the City; or (e) to permit the issuance of
Bonds, the interest on which is intended to be excludible from gross income
for Federal income tax purposes under the Code to the Holders thereof in
coupon form, if as a condition precedent to the adoption of such supplemental
resolution, there shall be delivered to the City an opinion of counsel of
recognized standing relating to municipal bonds to the effect that the
issuance of Bonds in coupon form is then permitted by law and that the
issuance of such Bonds in coupon form would not cause interest on such Bonds
to be included in gross income for Federal income tax purposes under the Code
to the Holders thereof; or (f) to permit the City to issue Bonds the interest
on which is not excludible from gross income for Federal income tax purposes
under the Code to the Holders thereof; or (g) to qualify the Bonds or any of
the Bonds for registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (h) to qualify the
Resolution as an "indenture" under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended; or (i) to make such changes as may be necessary to adjust the terms
of the Resolution so as to facilitate the issuance of Variable Rate Bonds,
Capital Appreciation Bonds, Capital Appreciation and Income Bonds, Put Bonds,
Extendible Maturity Bonds, Balloon Bonds, Interim Bonds and such other Bonds
as may be marketable from time to time; or (j) to permit Bonds to be issued
in book entry form with or without physical bonds; or (k) to make such
changes as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code relating
to the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income; or (1) to make
such changes as may evidence the right and interest under the Resolution of an
issuer of a Credit Facility or a Liquidity Facility that secures any Series of
Bonds.

[FORM OF BOND COUNSEL OPINION OF GREENBERG, TRAURIG,
HOFFMAN, LIPOFF, ROSEN & QUENTEL, P.A. ]
, 1988
The City Commission of the
City of Miami Beach, Florida
Miami Beach, Florida
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Constitution and laws of the State of
Florida, particularly Chapter 67-930 of the Laws of Florida and
Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, as amended, the Charter and Code
of the City of Miami Beach, Florida ( the "City" ) and Resolution
No. ( the "Resolution" ) of the City Commission ( the
"Commission" ) of the City and other proofs submitted, relative to
the issuance and sale of
City of Miami Beach, Florida
Resort Tax Revenue Refunding Bonds
Series 1988
issued on the date hereof ( the "Bonds" ) and maturing in such
amounts and at such times, bearing interest and subject to
redemption, all as described in the Official Statement of the
City, dated September , 1988, delivered in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds . The Bonds are being issued to refund in
advance of their maturities the City ' s Excise Tax Bonds, Series
1969 .
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have
relied upon such certified proceedings and other certifications
of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify
the same by independent investigation.
We have also examined one of said Bonds as executed and
authenticated. We assume that all other Bonds have been simi-
larly executed and authenticated.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that :
1 . Such proceedings and proofs show lawful authority for
the issuance and sale of the Bonds by the City pursuant to the
Constitution and laws of the State of Florida, including Chapter
67-930 of the Laws of Florida and Chapter 166 , Florida Statutes,
as amended, and the Charter and Code of the City.
2 . The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and
delivered under the provisions of the Resolution.
