or pure book -entry system with respect to issuance of the Bonds, provided

SECTION 8, REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Bond Registrar

written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in
form and with guaranty of signature satisfactory to the Board or the Bond
Registrar, duly executed by the Registered Owner or by his duly authorized
attorney. In the case of partial redemption of a Bond, and in lieu of issuing

Bond after such redemption, the County may, at its option, instruct the Bond
Registrar to note on the Bond the principal amount of such redemption, the date

redemption, and return the Bond to the Registered Owner.
Upon surrender to the Bond Registrar for transfer or exchange of any
Bond accompanied by an assignment or written authorization for exchange,
whichever is applicable, duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, the Bond Registrar shall deliver in the name of the
Registered Owner or the designated transferee or transferees, as the case may
be, a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations and of the
same maturity and interest rate, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount that remains outstanding with respect to such Bond so
surrendered.
The Bond Registrar or the Board may require payment from the
Registered Owner or his transferee of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of the Bonds. Such charges and expenses shall be paid before any
such new Bond shall be delivered.
Interest on a Bond shall be paid to the Registered Owner whose name
appears on the books of the Bond Registrar as of 5:00 P.M. local time at the
location of the Bond Registrar on the Record Date.
New Bonds delivered upon any transfer or exchange shall be valid
obligations of the County, evidencing the same debt as the Bonds surrendered,
shall be secured by this Resolution, and shall be entitled to all of the
security and benefits hereof to the same extent as the Bonds surrendered,
The County and the Bond Registrar may treat the Registered Owner of
any Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such
- 6 -
Bond shall be overdue, and shall not be bound by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 9. DISPOSITION OF BONDS PAID OR REPLACED. Whenever any
Bond shall be delivered to the Bond Registrar for payment of the principal
amount thereof upon maturity or redemption, or for replacement, transfer or
exchange, such Bond shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar, and
counterparts of a certificate of destruction evidencing such destruction shall
be furnished to the County.
SECTION 10. BONDS MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR LOST. In case
any Bond shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the County
may, in its discretion, issue and deliver a new Bond of like tenor as the Bond
so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange for and cancellation of
such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed,
stolen or lost, upon the Registered Owner furnishing the County and the Bond
Registrar proof of his ownership thereof and the loss thereof (if lost, stolen
or destroyed) and satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other
reasonable regulations and conditions as the Board may prescribe and paying such
expenses as the Board and the Bond Registrar may incur. All Bondo so
surrendered shall be cancelled by the Bond Registrar. If any such Bonds shall
have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the
County may pay the same, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bond
be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this section shall
constitute original, additional, contractual obligations on the part of the
County whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds be at any time found
by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds shall be entitled to equal and proportionate
benefits and rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the
funds, as hereinafter pledged, to the same extent as all other Bonds issued
hereunder.
SECTION 11. PROVISIONS FOR REDEMPTION. The Bonds or any portions
thereof shall be subject to redemption prior to their respective stated dates

days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Interest shall cease to accrue on
any Bond duly called for prior redemption on the redemption date, if payment
thereof has been duly provided. The County and the Bond Registrar shall not be
required to issue or to register the transfer of or exchange any Bonds then
considered for redemption during a period beginning at the close of business on

special fund, which is hereby created and established, designated the "Indian
River County Special Assessment Revenue Bonds, Series 1989, Revenue Fund" (the
"Revenue Fund").
B. DISPOSITION OF REVENUES. All Revenues received by or on behalf of
the County shall constitute trust funds and shall be deposited into the Revenue
Fund. Such money on deposit from time to time in the Revenue Fund shall be
applied in the following manner and order of priority:
(1) First, the County shall deposit in a fund to be
known as the "North County Assessment Bond Sinking Fund"
(herein the "Sinking Fund"), which is hereby created and
established, such sum as will be sufficient to pay the
interest as the same shall become due and payable on the
Bonds on the next two interest payment dates and such sum as
- 18 -
will be sufficient to pay, as the same becomes due and
payable, the principal on the Bonds maturing or subject to
mandatory call for redemption on the next principal payment
date with respect to the Bonds. Such deposits shall take
into account the sums, if any, in the Bond Amortization
Account, hereinafter defined, attributable to such payments
and the sums, if any, deposited in the Sinking Fund out of
the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to pay interest
thereon. In addition, there shall be deposited in the Sinking
Fund amounts sufficient to pay the fees and charges of the
Paying Agent.
(2) Second, the County shall deposit into an account
in the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Bond Amortization
Account", which is hereby created and established, such sums
as are required by resolution of the County to be deposited
therein at such times as are required thereby for each series
of Term Bonds for purposes of the mandatory redemption
thereof.
(3) Third, the County shall deposit into an account
within the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Reserve Account",
which is hereby created and established, the sum, if any,
necessary to increase the amount in the Reserve Account to
an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum amount of
principal and interest on all outstanding Bonds becoming due
in any ensuing Fiscal Year or (b) the maximum amount
permitted to be deposited in such a fund and to be invested
in nonpurpose investments without restriction as to yield
under Section 148(d) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended; provided, however, that in no Fiscal Year
shall Revenues in excess of twenty percent (208) of (a) or
(b), as applicable, be required to be deposited into the
Reserve Account. The Reserve Account may initially be funded
from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or other legally
available funds of the County. The value of the Reserve
Account, including investments on deposit therein, shall be
determined annually on the first day of the Fiscal Year of
the County by a Qualified Independent Consultant, who may
be the accountant for the County, using the fair market
method of valuation. No further deposits shall be required
to be made into the Reserve Account so long as the value
thereof (including any Reserve Account Credit Instrument as
described below) equals the amount required to be maintained
therein, as provided in the first sentence of this subsection
(3).
- 19 -
F
f
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of, in
whole or in part, the required deposits into the Reserve
Account, the County may cause to be deposited into the
Reserve Account any of the following (each a "Reserve Account
Credit Instrument"):
(a) A surety bond or insurance policy
issued to the Paying Agent, as agent of the
Bondholders, by a company licensed to issue an
insurance policy guaranteeing the timely payment
of debt service on the Bonds (a "municipal bond
insurer"), if the claims paying ability of the
issuer thereof shall be rated "AAA" or "Aaa" by
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Moody's
Investors Service ("Moody's"), respectively; or
(b) An unconditional irrevocable letter
of credit issued to the Paying Agent, as agent
of the Bondholders, by a bank, if such bank is
rated at least "AA" by S&P.
Any such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall be payable
or available to be drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the
giving of notice as required thereunder), by the Paying Agent
on any interest payment date on which a deficiency exists
which cannot be cured by money in any other fund or account
held pursuant hereto and available for such purpose. It
shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to, and the Paying
Agent shall, without further authorization or direction from
the County, ascertain the necessity for a claim or draw upon
-any Reserve Account Credit Instrument and provide notice to
the issuer of the Reserve Account Credit Instrument in
accordance with its terms at such time as will, when giving
due allowance for the time permitted for the issuer to make
payment under the Reserve Account Credit Instrument, ensure
payment under the Reserve Account Credit Instrument on or
before the interest payment date. If the Reserve Account
requirement shall at any time be satisfied in whole or in
part with a qualifying letter of credit and such letter of
credit is about to expire or terminate, the County hereby
authorizes and directs the Paying Agent to draw upon such
letter of credit prior to its expiration or termination to
the extent required to fully fund the Reserve Account
requirement unless a replacement Reserve Account Credit
Instrument is in place or the Reserve Account is otherwise
fully funded in its required amount.
- 20 -
If a disbursement is made under any such Reserve Account
Credit Instrument, the County may reinstate the maximum
limits of such Reserve Account Credit Instrument immediately
following such disbursement, otherwise the amount of credit
toward the Reserve Account requirement for such Reserve
Account Credit Instrument shall be appropriately reduced.
Furthermore, the County may at any time and from time to time
cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account such a Reserve
Account Credit Instrument and cause an appropriate amount to
be withdrawn from the Reserve Account and released to the
County.
Money in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the
purpose of the payment of principal of or interest on the
Bonds when the other money in the Sinking Fund is
insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose. However,
upon the valuation of the Reserve Account in each year, if
the money applied and allocated to the Reserve Account
(except the investment income thereon, which shall be
deposited into the Revenue Fund as hereinafter provided)
exceeds the aforesaid amount, such excess may be withdrawn
and deposited in the Revenue Fund.
(4) Fourth, the balance shall be used when and to the
extent practicable to redeem Bonds subject to optional
redemption, or to purchase Bonds at a price not to exceed the
current redemption price thereof.
(5) After the principal of and interest on all the
Bonds shall have been paid, or there shall have been set
apart in the Revenue Fund a sum sufficient to pay when due
the entire principal of the Bonds remaining unpaid and
interest accrued and interest to accrue thereon through such
payment date, any money remaining on depogit to the credit
of the Revenue Fund shall be transferred to the Impact Fee
Trust Fund, if the same is then still in existence, and, if
not, then transferred to the water and sewer enterprise fund
of the County or used by the County for any lawful purpose.
C. PLEDGED FUNDS AND INVESTMENT OF FUNDS. The Sinking Fund, the Bond
Amortization Account and the Reserve Account shall be Pledged Funds, shall
constitute trust funds for the purposes provided herein for such funds and shall
be used only for the purposes and in the manner provided herein. All moneys in
all funds and accounts created or established hereunder shall be continuously
secured in the manner by which deposits of public funds are required to be
- 21 -
secured by the laws of the State of Florida. Moneys on deposit in the Revenue
Fund and the Sinking Fund (except the Reserve Account therein) may be invested
and reinvested only in Authorized Investments maturing not later than the date
on which the moneys therein will be needed for the purposes of such funds.
Moneys in the Reserve Account may be invested and reinvested in Authorized
Investments maturing not later than five (5) years from the date of purchase.
Any and all income received by the County from such investments shall
be deposited into the Rebate Account hereunder to the extent required and the
excess, if any, into the Revenue Fund.
D. CONSTRUCTION OF PROJECT. The County shall proceed with due
diligence to acquire and construct the North County Wastewater System.
E. ENFORCEMENT OF PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS. The County will receive,
collect and enforce the payment of the Assessments imposed by the County, and
the interest, prepayment charges and penalties in connection therewith, in the
manner prescribed by this Resolution and all other resolutions, ordinances or
laws thereunto appertaining; and will pay and deposit the proceeds of such
Assessments and the interest, prepayment charges and penalties in connection
therewith, and the proceeds of the Assessments imposed and collected by the City
and transferred over pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement, as received,
into the Revenue Fund. In lieu of the provisions for collection of the
Assessments set forth in Ordinance 86-88 of the County, the County shall use the
method of collection provided for under Section 197.363, Florida Statutes
(1988), as amended, and the County shall cause the City, under the provisions
of the Intergovernmental Agreement, to use such collection procedures in lieu
of the provisions for collection set forth in Ordinance 0-87-01 of the City.
F. ENFORCEMENT OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT. The County shall
enforce the Intergovernmental Agreement.
G. USER LETTERS OF CREDIT. If the Assessment imposed with respect
to the property of any one owner is in respect of 750 or more equivalent
residential units, or if the ratio of the Assessment imposed with respect to
the property of such owner to the assessed value of the property of such owner
expressed as a percent equals or exceeds percent, the County shall
require such owner to provide to the County, and keep in full force and effect,
a letter of credit in an amount not less than the outstanding unpaid balance of
the Assessment imposed against such property plusmonths interest
thereon. Such letter of credit shall be in substantially the form heretofore
approved by resolution of the County and shall be issued by a commercial bank
or savings and loan association acceptable to the County as to regulatory
capital and otherwise. The County shall draw upon said letter of credit in an
amount equal to the outstanding balance of the applicable Assessment, plus
accrued interest thereon, if applicable and appropriate, whenever the payment
of such Assessment or the interest thereon is not paid when due or whenever the
WARM
letter of credit is about to expire and the County has not been timely furnished
with a renewal of such letter of credit or a substitute letter of credit in
substantially the same form and substance issued by the same commercial bank or
savings and loan association or another commercial bank or savings and loan
association whose credit worthiness is, in the opinion of the County, not less
than that of the issuer of the prior letter of credit.
The County shall cause the City to require the posting of letters of
credit with respect to Assessments upon property located within the boundaries
of the City upon similar terms and conditions and shall require that the City
take all steps necessary to enforce such letters of credit in a similar manner.
H. RECLAMATION OF RESERVATIONS. The County shall not reclaim any
wastewater treatment plant and transmission capacity reservation which relates
to any of the Assessments unless (1) the County immediately resells such
reservation to a buyer whose credit worthiness, in the reasonable opinion of the
County, is equal to or greater than that of the person from whom such
reservation was reclaimed, taking into consideration the fair market value of
the property subjected to the Assessment and any User Letter of Credit, or (2)
the County immediately pays from legally available funds the outstanding amount
of the Assessment with regard to such reservation, together with appropriate
interest and/or prepayment charges.
I. REMOVAL OF ASSESSMENT LIENS. The County shall not release or
extinguish the lien of any Assessment upon any property, or any portion or
portions thereof at the request of the property owner, except as provided in
Resolution No. 87-142 of the County. The County shall not release or extinguish
the lien upon an entire property without the payment of the entire outstanding
amount of the Assessments against the property together with appropriate
interest and/or prepayment charges. The County shall not release or extinguish
the lien upon a portion of a property without the payment of at least a pro -rata
portion of the outstanding amount of the Assessment against the property, such
portion to be based upon fair market value of the property as established by
appraisals acceptable to the County, together with appropriate interest and/or
prepayment charges. All money received in connection with the release or
extinguishment of any Assessment lien shall be deposited in the Revenue Fund.
J. SUFFICIENT CAPACITY. The County shall use its best efforts to
have available from time to time sufficient wastewater treatment capacity to
service the property upon which an Assessment is imposed when desired and
otherwise available to the extent of the reservations with respect thereto.
K. NO ISSUANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS PAYABLE FROM REVENUES. The County
will not issue any other obligations payable from the Revenues nor voluntarily
create or cause to be created any debt, lien, pledge, assignment, encumbrance
or other charge upon the Revenues.

report setting forth the collections received, the number and amount of
delinquencies, the proceedings taken to enforce collections and cure
delinquencies and an estimate of time for the conclusion of such legal
proceedings. Such report shall be audited by the certified public accountants
of the County as part of the annual County audit. Copies of such reports shall,
upon written request, be mailed to the Registered Owners of the Bonds.
M. ARBITRAGE. No use of the proceeds of the Bonds will be made which
will cause the Bonds to be or become "arbitrage Bonds" within the meaning of
Section 103(b)(2) and Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code"), and the regulations implementing said Sections that duly
have been published in the Federal Register or with any other applicable

appropriate amounts from the funds and accounts hereunder to which income on

amounts due with respect to the Bonds under the provisions of Section 148 (f)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and supplemented, or under
similar provisions of subsequent federal revenue laws. The earnings on the
Rebate Account shall be added to and become a part of the Rebate Account. Moneys
in the Rebate Account shall only be used to pay the amounts due to the United
States of America under said Section of the Code as the same shall become due
and payable. It is the intent of this paragraph to provide for payment of all
amounts due under said Section of the Code with respect to the Bonds, in such
installments and at such times as may be required by said Section of the Code.
In the event of any amendment to the Code or the promulgation of regulations
under the Code which provide or require otherwise than as provided or required

such amendments or regulations, to the extent applicable, and any provisions
hereof which conflict with the provisions thereof shall be deemed to be null and
void.
0. TAX COVENANTS. The County covenants that it will not take any
action or fail to take any action with respect to the proceeds of the Bonds that
would result in loss of the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax
purposes pursuant to section 103(a) of the Code of interest paid on Outstanding
- 24 -
Bonds which, when initially issued and sold, were the subject of an opinion of
counsel to the effect that interest thereon was so excludable.
With respect to the Bonds, the County covenants that any use of the
North County Wastewater System in the trade or business of any person or entity
other than the County, including use under a take -or -pay contract or certain
management contracts ("private business use"), if such use is related to the
County's use of the North County Wastewater System, will not exceed more than
ten percent (108) of the use of the North County Wastewater System, or if such
private business use in unrelated or disproportionate to the County's use of the
North County Wastewater System, will not exceed more than five percent (58) of
the use of the North County Wastewater System.

of this Resolution without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the
lien and charge of this Resolution shall be valid and binding as against all
parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise, against the
County, irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof.

R. FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS. The designation and establishment of the
various funds and accounts created herein does not require the establishment of

the acceptance of the Bonds by the Registered Owners who shall hold the same
from time to time, this Resolution shall be deemed to be and shall constitute
a contract between the County and such Registered Owners. The covenants and
agreements herein set forth to be performed by the County shall be for the equal
benefit, protection and security of the Registered Owners of the Bonds, all of
which Bonds shall be of equal rank and without preference, priority or
distinction with respect to any other Bonds, except as expressly provided
therein and herein.

pursuant to the provisions of this Resolution, obligations of the County to be
known as "Special Assessment Revenue Bonds, Series 1989," are hereby authorized

The Bonds shall be dated as of a date to be fixed by subsequent resolution of
the County and may be numbered consecutively from one upward or in such other
manner as agreed upon between the County and the Bond Registrar. The Bonds
shall be issued in such denominations, shall bear interest at such rate or
rates, not exceeding the maximum rate authorized by applicable law, payable at
such times, shall mature on such dates and in such years and in such amounts and

shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America; and shall bear
interest from their date, payable by check mailed to the Registered Owners at

Registrar on behalf of the County.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, the Board may,
at its option, prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds and subject to the
approval of the purchasers of the Bonds, elect to use an immobilization system
or pure book -entry system with respect to issuance of the Bonds, provided
adequate records will be kept with respect to the ownership of Bonds issued in
book -entry form or the beneficial ownership of the Bonds issued in the name of
a nominee. As long as any Bonds are outstanding in book -entry form, the
provisions of Sections 6, S, 9 and 10 of this Resolution shall not be applicable
to such book -entry Bonds. The details of any alternative system of Bond
issuance, as described in this paragraph, shall be set forth in a resolution of
the Board duly adopted at or prior to the delivery of any of the Bonds.

of the Chairman or Vice Chairman and Clerk may be either manual or facsimile
signatures. The certificate of authentication of the Bond Registrar shall
appear on the Bonds, and no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
or be entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless such
certificate shall have been duly executed on such Bond. The authorized
signature for the Bond Registrar shall be manual. In case any one or more of
the officers of the Board who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds shall
cease to be such officer or officers of the Board before the Bonds so signed and
sealed shall have been actually sold and delivered, such Bonds may nevertheless
be sold and delivered as if the persons who signed or sealed such Bonds had not
ceased to hold such offices. Any Bonds may be signed and sealed on behalf of
the Board by such person who at the actual time of the execution of such Bonds
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 validation certificate on the Bonds, if any, shall be executed
with the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the
Board.
SECTION 7. NEGOTIABILITY. The Bonds issued hereunder shall be and
shall have all of the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under
the laws of the State of Florida, and each successive holder, in accepting any
of the Bonds, shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that such Bonds shall
- 5 -
be and have all of the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under
the laws of the State of Florida.
SECTION 8. REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Bond Registrar
shall be responsible for maintaining books for the registration, transfer and
exchange of the Bonds.
All Bonds presented for transfer, exchange, redemption or payment
(if so required by the Board or the Bond Registrar) shall be accompanied by a
written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization for exchange, in
form and with guaranty of signature satisfactory to the Board or the Bond
Registrar, duly executed by the Registered Owner or by his duly authorized
attorney. In the case of partial redemption of a Bond, and in lieu of issuing
a new Bond or Bonds in the aggregate principal amount then outstanding on the
Bond after such redemption, the County may, at its option, instruct the Bond
Registrar to note on the Bond the principal amount of such redemption, the date
of redemption and the outstanding principal amount of such Bond after such
redemption, and return the Bond to the Registered Owner.
Upon
Bond accompa ieds by sane r to the d
assignment ors writt ostrar f aauthorization or transfer or efor anexchange,
whichever is applicable, duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney
duly authorized in writing, the Bond Registrar shall deliver in the name of the
Registered Owner or the designated transferee or transferees, as the case may
be, a new fully registered Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations and of the
same maturity and interest rate, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount that remains outstanding with respect to such Bond so
surrendered.
The Bond Registrar or the Board may require payment from the
Registered Owner or his transferee of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, fee or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of the Bonds. Such charges and expenses shall be paid before any
such new Bond shall be delivered.
Interest on a Bond shall be paid to the Registered Owner whose name
appears on the books of the Bond Registrar as of 5:00 P.M. local time at the
location of the Bond Registrar on the Record Date.
New Bonds delivered upon any transfer or exchange shall be valid
obligations of the County, evidencing the same debt as the Bonds surrendered,
shall be secured by this Resolution, and shall be entitled to all of the
security and benefits hereof to the same extent as the Bonds surrendered.
The County and the Bond Registrar may treat the Registered Owner of
any Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such
WIE
Bond shall be overdue, and shall not be bound by any notice to the contrary.
SECTION 9. DISPOSITION OF BONDS PAID OR REPLACED. Whenever any
Bond shall be delivered to the Bond Registrar for payment of the principal
amount thereof upon maturity or redemption, or for replacement, transfer or
exchange, such Bond shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar, and
counterparts of a certificate of destruction evidencing such destruction shall
be furnished to the County.
SECTION 10. BONDS MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR LOST. In case
any Bond shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the County
may, in its discretion, issue and deliver a new Bond of like tenor as the Bond
so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange for and cancellation of
such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed,
stolen or lost, upon the Registered Owner furnishing the County and the Bond
Registrar proof of his ownership thereof and the loss thereof (if lost, stolen
or destroyed) and satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other
reasonable regulations and conditions as the Board may prescribe and paying such
expenses as the Board and the Bond Registrar may incur. All Bonds so
surrendered shall be cancelled by the Bond Registrar. If any such Bonds shall
have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the
County may pay the same, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bond
be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof.
Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this section shall
constitute original, additional, contractual obligations on the part of the
County whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds be at any time found
by anyone, and such duplicate Bonds shall be entitled to equal and proportionate
benefits and rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the
funds, as hereinafter pledged, to the same extent as all other Bonds issued
hereunder.
SECTION 11. PROVISIONS FOR REDEMPTION. The Bonds or any portions
thereof shall be subject to redemption prior to their respective stated dates
of maturity, at the option of the County, at such times and in such manner as
shall be determined by subsequent resolution adopted prior to the sale thereof.
Notice of such redemption shall, not more than forty-five (45) days
and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date, (i) be filed
with the Bond Registrar and the Paying Agent, and (ii) be mailed, postage
prepaid, to all Registered Owners of Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as
they appear of record on the books of the Bond Registrar as of forty-five (45)
days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Interest shall cease to accrue on
any Bond duly called for prior redemption on the redemption date, if payment
thereof has been duly provided. The County and the Bond Registrar shall not be
required to issue or to register the transfer of or exchange any Bonds then
considered for redemption during a period beginning at the close of business on
- 7 -
the fifteenth (15th) day next preceding any date of selection of Bonds to be
redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing the
applicable notice of redemption, as hereinafter provided, or to register the
transfer of or exchange any portion of any of the Bonds selected for redemption
until after the redemption date.
All notices of redemption with respect to the Bonds shall specify
the series, maturities and numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed (including the
CUSIP numbers); the date fixed for redemption; the redemption price or prices
to be applicable to the Bonds to be redeemed; and that on the date fixed for
redemption such Bonds shall be payable at the principal corporate trust office
of the Paying Agent (specifying the address of same). If Registered Owners of
all such Bonds to be redeemed file written waivers of notice with the Paying
Agent, such Bonds may be redeemed on the redemption date without necessity of
notice by mailing. Failure to mail any notice of redemption or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any
proceeding for redemption of other Bonds so called for redemption.
SECTION 12. FORM OF BONDS. The text of the Bonds, the validation
certificate thereon, if any, and the certificate of authentication thereon shall
be in substantially the following form, with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be necessary and/or desirable and authorized or permitted by
this Resolution or any subsequent resolution adopted prior to the issuance

Ordinance No. 86-88 and Resolution No. of the County, and other
- 9 -
applicable provisions of law. The above -referenced resolutions, as duly adopted
by the Board of County Commissioners of the County are hereinafter referred to
collectively as the "Resolution". This Bond is subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Resolution.
This Bond is one of the revenue bonds designated as Special

numbers, denominations, dates of maturity, rates of interest and provisions for
redemption, in the aggregate principal amount of
($ ) (the "Bonds"). The p Dollars

River County Sewerage System" of the County, which shall be applied to the costs
of expansion of the sewage disposal system of the County, including without
limitation the acquisition and construction of a physically independent sewer
system to be known as the North County Wastewater System, and (2) to establish
certain other funds and accounts and to pay certain costs and expenses relating
to issuance of the Bonds, all as more fully set forth in the Resolution.
The Bonds and the interest due thereon are payable solely from, and
are secured solely by a first lien upon and pledge of, the proceeds of certain
Special Assessments in Lieu of Impact Fees (the "Assessments") levied upon
property, with the consent of the owners thereof, pursuant to Ordinance No. 86-
88, Resolution No. 87-142, Resolution No. 89-12 and Resolution No. 89-20 of the
County and, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the

No. R-87-85, Resolution No. R-89-07 and Resolution No. R-89-12 of the City; the
interest, prepayment charges and penalties received in connection with the

defined in the Resolution, which secure payment of certain of the Assessments;
and certain funds and accounts and the earnings thereon that have been pledged
for the payment of the principal of, interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds,
all as provided in the Resolution (collectively, the "Pledged Funds"). This
Bond does not constitute an indebtedness of the County within the meaning of any
constitutional or statutory provision or limitation. The liens upon property
in connection with the Assessments may be released upon deposit with the County
or the City, as applicable, of money or other adequate security, all as more
particularly described and provided in the Resolution.
This Bond does not constitute a general indebtedness of the County
or the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or
limitation. It is expressly agreed by the Registered Owner of this Bond that
such Registered Owner shall never have the right to require or compel the
exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the County or the City for the
payment of the principal of, interest or premium, if any, on this Bond or the
making of any other payments specified by the Resolution. It is further agreed
between the County and the Registered Owner of this Bond that this Bond and the
- 10 -
indebtedness evidenced hereby shall constitute a lien upon only the Pledged
Funds in the manner provided in the Resolution.
(To be inserted where appropriate on face of bond: "Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this bond set forth on the reverse side
hereof, and such further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect
as if set forth on this side.")
The Bonds are issuable only in the form of registered bonds, without
coupons, in the denominations of $5,000 principal amount or any integral multiple
thereof.
This Bond may be transferred only upon the books kept by the Bond
Registrar, on behalf of the County, upon surrender hereof at the principal
corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar with an assignment duly executed
by the Registered Owner or his duly authorized attorney, but only in the manner,
subject to the limitations and upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax, fee or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with such
transfer, all as provided in the Resolution. Upon such transfer, there shall

as early as practicable, a new fully registered bond or bonds of authorized
denominations in the same aggregate principal amount and of the same series,
maturity and interest rate as this Bond.
In like manner, subject to said conditions and upon payment of any
such sum, this Bond may be surrendered at said office of the Bond Registrar in
exchange for an equal aggregate principal amount of new fully registered bonds
of authorized denominations of the same series, maturity and interest rate as
this Bond.

happen and to be performedprecedent to and in the
issuance of this Bond exist, have happened and have been performed in regular
and due form and time as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of
Florida applicable thereto.
The County and the Bond Registrar shall not be required to issue or
to register the transfer of or exchange any Bonds then considered for redemption
during a period beginning at the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day
next preceding any date of selection of Bonds to be redeemed and ending at the
close of business on the day of mailing the applicable notice of redemption, as
hereinafter provided, or to register the transfer of or exchange any portion of
any of the Bonds selected for redemption until after the redemption date.
This Bond is and has all the qualities and incidents of a negotiable
instrument under the laws of the State of Florida.
[Insert redemption provisions]
If less than all Bonds of any one maturity are to be redeemed, the
Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be drawn by lot by the Paying Agent.
For the purposes of redemption, a Bond of a denomination larger than $5,000
shall be treated as representing that number of Bonds which equals the number
obtained by dividing the principal amount thereof by $5,000, each $5,000 portion
of such Bond being subject to redemption. In case of partial redemption of any
Bond, payment of the redemption price shall be made only upon surrender of such
Bond in exchange for Bonds of authorized denominations in aggregate principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the principal amount thereof.
Notice of such redemption shall be given in the manner provided in
the Resolution. On the date designated for redemption, notice having been
provided as aforesaid, and money for payment of the principal, premium, if any,
and accrued interest being held by the Paying Agent, interest on the Bonds or
portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Bonds
or portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to be entitled to any
benefit or security under the Resolution, and the registered owners of such
Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall have no rights with
respect thereto, except to receive payment of the principal to be redeemed and
accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, together with the
redemption premium, if any.
This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose
or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Resolution until the
certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by the manual
signature of an authorized representative of the Bond Registrar.

SECTION 13. BONDS NOT GENERAL OBLIGATIONS. The Bonds shall not be or
constitute general or moral obligations or a pledge of the faith, credit or
taxing power of the County, the City, the State of Florida or any political
subdivision thereof or an indebtedness of any of them as "bonds" within the
meaning of the Constitution of the State of Florida, but shall be special

right to compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the County, the
City, the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof, or taxation in
any form of any real property therein, to pay the Bonds or the interest thereon,
or be entitled to payment of such principal and interest from any funds of the

Nothing in this Resolution shall constitute or be construed to
constitute a conveyance or mortgage of any sewage disposal system or of any
sewer system improvements or any part of any of the foregoing.
SECTION 15. COVENANTS OF THE COUNTY. For so long as any of the
principal of and interest on any of the Bonds shall be outstanding and unpaid,
or until there shall have been set apart in the Revenue Fund hereinafter created,
a sum sufficient to pay, when due, the entire principal amount of the Bonds
remaining unpaid, together with interest accrued and interest to accrue thereon
through such payment date, or until the provisions of Section 19 hereof have been
satisfied, the County covenants with the Registered Owners of the Bonds that:
A. REVENUE FUND. The County shall create, establish and maintain a
special fund, which is hereby created and established, designated the "Indian
River County Special Assessment Revenue Bonds, Series 1989, Revenue Fund" (the
"Revenue Fund").
B. DISPOSITION OF REVENUES. All Revenues received by or on behalf of
the County shall constitute trust funds and shall be deposited into the Revenue
Fund. Such money on deposit from time to time in the Revenue Fund shall be
applied in the following manner and order of priority:
(1) First, the County shall deposit in a fund to be
known as the "North County Assessment Bond Sinking Fund"
(herein the "Sinking Fund"), which is hereby created and
established, such sum as will be sufficient to pay the
interest as the same shall become due and payable on the
Bonds on the next two interest payment dates and such sum as
- 18 -
will be sufficient to pay, as the same becomes due and
payable, the principal on the Bonds maturing or subject to
mandatory call for redemption on the next principal payment
date with respect to the Bonds. Such deposits shall take
into account the sums, if any, in the Bond Amortization
Account, hereinafter defined, attributable to such payments
and the sums, if any, deposited in the Sinking Fund out of
the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds to pay interest
thereon. In addition, there shall be deposited in the Sinking
Fund amounts sufficient to pay the fees and charges of the
Paying Agent.
(2) Second, the County shall deposit into an account
in the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Bond Amortization
Account", which is hereby created and established, such sums
as are required by resolution of the County to be deposited
therein at such times as are required thereby for each series
of Term Bonds for purposes of the mandatory redemption
thereof.
(3) Third, the County shall deposit into an account
within the Sinking Fund to be known as the "Reserve Account",
which is hereby created and established, the sum, if any,
necessary to increase the amount in the Reserve Account to
an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum amount of
principal and interest on all outstanding Bonds becoming due
in any ensuing Fiscal Year or (b) the maximum amount
permitted to be deposited in such a fund and to be invested
in nonpurpose investments without restriction as to yield
under Section 148(d) of the Federal Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended; provided, however, that in no Fiscal Year
shall Revenues in excess of twenty percent (208) of (a) or
(b), as applicable, be required to be deposited into the
Reserve Account. The Reserve Account may initially be funded
from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or other legally
available funds of the County. The value of the Reserve
Account, including investments on deposit therein, shall be
determined annually on the first day of the Fiscal Year of
the County by a Qualified Independent Consultant, who may
be the accountant for the County, using the fair market
method of valuation. No further deposits shall be required
to be made into the Reserve Account so long as the value
thereof (including any Reserve Account Credit Instrument as
described below) equals the amount required to be maintained
therein, as provided in the first sentence of this subsection
(3).
- 19 -
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of, in
whole or in part, the required deposits into the Reserve
Account, the County may cause to be deposited into the
Reserve Account any of the following (each a "Reserve Account
Credit Instrument"):
(a) A surety bond or insurance policy
issued to the Paying Agent, as agent of the
Bondholders, by a company licensed to issue an
insurance policy guaranteeing the timely payment
of debt service on the Bonds (a "municipal bond
insurer"), if the claims paying ability of the
issuer thereof shall be rated "AAA" or "Aaa" by
Standard & Poor's Corporation ("S&P") or Moody's
Investors Service ("Moody's"), respectively; or
(b) An unconditional irrevocable letter
of credit issued to the Paying Agent, as agent
of the Bondholders, by a bank, if such bank is
rated at least "AA" by S&P.
Any such Reserve Account Credit Instrument shall be payable
or available to be drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the
giving of notice as required thereunder), by the Paying Agent
on any interest payment date on which a deficiency exists
which cannot be cured by money in any other fund or account
held pursuant hereto and available for such purpose. It
shall be the duty of the Paying Agent to, and the Paying
Agent shall, without further authorization or direction from
the County, ascertain the necessity for a claim or draw upon
any Reserve Account Credit Instrument and provide notice to
the issuer of the Reserve Account Credit Instrument in
accordance with its terms at such time as will, when giving
due allowance for the time permitted for the issuer to make
payment under the Reserve Account Credit Instrument, ensure
payment under the Reserve Account Credit Instrument on or
before the interest payment date. If the Reserve Account
requirement shall at any time be satisfied in whole or in
part with a qualifying letter of credit and such letter of
credit is about to expire or terminate, the County hereby
authorizes and directs the Paying Agent to draw upon such
letter of credit prior to its expiration or termination to
the extent required to fully fund the Reserve Account
requirement unless a replacement Reserve Account Credit
Instrument is in place or the Reserve Account is otherwise
fully funded in its required amount.
- 20 -
If a disbursement is made under any such Reserve Account
Credit Instrument, the County may reinstate the maximum
limits of such Reserve Account Credit Instrument immediately
following such disbursement, otherwise the amount of credit
