C. It is necessary and desirable to acquire and con-
struct the Project, as provided herein, in order to preserve and
protect the public health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants
of the Issuer.
D. The Issuer deems it necessary and in its best inter-
est to provide for the refunding of the Refunded Bonds through
the issuance of the Bonds herein authorized. The refunding
program herein described will be advantageous to the Issuer, by
(1) restructuring the debt service of the County to anticipate
future capital requirements, (2) providing a savings in debt ser-
vice, (3). removing certain restrictive covenants contained in the
proceedings which authorized the Refunded Bonds, and (4) providing

available therefor. The estimated funds needed for the Project
shall be provided from proceeds derived from the sale of the
Bonds.

® the investment thereof, will be sufficient to effect the refunding

th the holders of the Refunded Bonds, and invested in Federal Securi-
ties. The principal amounts of such Federal Securities together
with the interest earnings thereon will be sufficient to make
timely payments of all presently outstanding principal, interest
• and redemption premiums, if any, in respect to the Refunded Bonds
and all costs associated with the acquisition and subsequent
management of such Federal Securities.

struction or acquisition of the Project shall be deemed to
include bond discount, if any, legal expenses, municipal bond
insurance, if any, fiscal expenses, expenses for estimates of
costs and of revenues, administrative expenses, interest accrued
on the Bonds for a reasonable period from the date of issuance
thereof, reasonable amounts for reserves, and such other expenses
as may be necessary or incidental for the financing authorized by
this Resolution. The costs of construction and acquisition of
the Project shall be deemed to include but not be limited to, the
acquisition of any lands, or interest therein, and of any fix-
tures, or equipment, or properties deemed necessary or convenient
therefor, architectural/engineering and legal expenses, municipal
bond insurance, if any, expenses for financial services or fiscal
advisors, expenses for estimates of costs and of revenues, expenses

required sinking fund, reserve and other payments shall be pay-
able solely from the Sales Tax to be received by the Issuer and the
Investment Income as herein provided. The Issuer shall never be
-9-
t
required to levy ad valorem taxes on any property within its cor-
® porate territory to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
or to make any of the required sinking fund, reserve or other
payments, and such Bonds shall not constitute a lien upon any pro-
perty owned by or situated within the corporate territory of the
Issuer.

and interest on the Bonds to be issued hereunder, as the same
become due, and to make all required sinking fund, reserve or other
payments required by this Resolution.

lien in favor of the Holders of the Bonds upon such money until so
applied.
SECTION 16. SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF ISSUER. Neither the
Bonds nor interest thereon shall be or constitute a general indeb-
tedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory provision or limitation, but shall be payable solely from
and secured by a first lien upon and a pledge of the Sales Tax and
the Investment Income as herein provided. No holder or holders of
any Bonds issued hereunder shall ever have the right to require or
compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the Issuer or
taxation in any form of any property therein for payment thereof,
or be entitled to payment of such principal and interest from any
other funds of the Issuer except from the Sales Tax in the manner
provided herein.
Until payment has been provided for as herein permitted,
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall
be secured forthwith equally and ratably by an irrevocable first
lien on the Sales Tax, as defined herein, and on the Investment
Income, prior and superior to all other liens or encumhrances on
such Sales Tax and Investment Income and the Issuer does hereby
irrevocably pledge such Sales Tax and Investment Income to the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, the reserves
-25-

therefor, and for all other required payments.
SECTION 17. COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER. For as long as any
of the principal of and interest on any of the Bonds shall be out-
standing and unpaid, or until payment has been provided for as
herein permitted, or, except as provided under Section 24 hereof,
until there shall have been set apart in the Sinking Fund and the
Reserve Account, a sum sufficient to pay when due the entire prin-
cipal of the Bonds remaining unpaid, together with interest accrued
or to accrue thereon, the Issuer covenants with the holders of any
and all Bonds as follows:
A. REVENUE FUND. All of the proceeds of the Sales Tax
shall, upon receipt thereof, be deposited in the "Indian River
County Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds Revenue Fund"
(hereinafter called "Revenue Fund"), hereby created and established.
Such Revenue Fund shall constitute a trust fund for the purposes
herein provided, and shall be kept separate and distinct from all
other funds of the Issuer and used only for the purposes and in the
manner herein provided.
B. DISPOSITION OF SALES TAX. All proceeds of the Sales
Tax at any time remaining on deposit in the Revenue Fund shall be
disposed of on or before the 25th day of each month, commencing in
the month immediately following the delivery of the Bonds only in
the following manner and in the following order of priority:
(1) The Sales Tax shall first be applied and allo-
cated to a separate fund which is hereby created and designated
"Indian River County Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds
Sinking Fund" (hereinafter called "Sinking Fund"), in such sums as
will be sufficient to pay an equal monthly amount of all interest
becoming due on the Current Interest Paying Bonds on the next
interest payment date therefor (if Bonds with a variable rate of
interest are outstanding the Issuer shall deposit in lieu of the
monthly interest deposit described above, the interest actually
accruing on such Bonds for such month, assuming the interest rate
thereon on the first day of such month will continue through the
-26-
end of such month, plus any deficiencies in interest deposits for
•
the preceding month) one-sixth (1/6) or one -twelfth (1/12), as
the rase
may be,
of all principal maturing on the
Current
Interest
Paying
Serial Bonds authorized herein on
the next
maturity
date, and
one-sixth (1/6) or one -twelfth
(1/12), as the
case may be, of the Compounded mount next becoming due on any
Serial Capital Appreciation Bonds whether by reason of maturity
!.!B or earlier redemption thereof, to be subsequently determined by
resolution of the Issuer prior to the delivery of the particular
issue of Bonds, and an amount sufficient to pay the fees and
charges of the Bond Registrar and paying agents. In the event
the first interest payment date or first principal maturity date
shall occur either more or less than six (6) months or twelve
(12) months, as the case may be, after the delivery of any of the
Bonds, then the payments required above shall be adjusted accor-
dingly to provide for the payment of such principal and interest.
On a parity therewith, Revenues shall simultaneously be applied and
allocated to the "Refunding and Improvement- Revenue Bonds, Bond
Amortization Fund" (hereinafter called "Bond Amortization Fund"),
hereby created and established, to the extent required, in such
sums as will be equal to one-sixth (1/6) of the amount of the
Amortization Installment required to be made on the next semian-
nual payment date or one -twelfth (1/12) of the Amortization
Installment required to be made on the next annual payment date
for Term Bonds. Such allocations shall be credited to a separate
special account for each series of Term Bonds outstanding, and if
there shall be more than one stated maturity for Term Bonds of a
series, then into a separate special account in the Bond
Amortization Fund for each such separate maturity of Term Bonds.
The Amortization Installments may be due either annually or semi-
annually, but in an_v event. the required payments as set forth
above shall be made monthly commencing in the first month which
is six (6) months or twelve (12) months, as the case may be,
prior to the date on which the Amortization Installment is
-27-
required to be made pursuant to this subsection (2). Failure to
®� make any such application and allocation into the Bond
Amortization Fund on the due date thereof shall constitute an
®'m event of default under this Resolution.
Credit shall be allowed against the total interest,
Amortization Installments and principal due on the next interest
and principal payment dates, respectively, for any other funds on
• ® R hand and available for such purposes in the Sinking Fund and Bond
Amortization Fund.
Upon the sale of any series of Term Bonds, the Issuer
shall, by resolution, establish the amounts and maturities of such
Amortization Installments for each series, and if there shall be
more than one maturity of Term Bonds within a series, the Amortiza-
tion Installments for the Term Bonds of each maturity.
(3) Moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund shall next be
applied by the Issuer to maintain in a Reserve Account in the
Sinking Fund, which Reserve Account is hereby created and
established, a sum equal to the Maximum Debt Service Requirement
on the Bonds. Such sum may initially be deposited therein from the
proceeds of sale of the Bonds or the Issuer may deposit into such
Reserve Account, not later than the 25th day of each month, 1/12 of
20% of the Maximum Debt Service Requirement. No further application
or allocation of funds shall be required to be made into said
Reserve Account- as long as there shall remain on deposit therein
(including any Reserve Account insurance policy as described below)
a sum equal to the Maximum Debt Service Requirement on the Bonds.
The value of the Reserve Account, including investments on deposit
in the Reserve Account, shall be determined annually on the first
day of the Fiscal Year by an Independent Qualified Consultant,
who may be the Accountant, using the fair market method of
valuation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in lieu of the
required deposits into the Reserve Account, the Issuer may cause to
be deposited into the Reserve Account either a municipal bond
-28-
insurance policy issued by a reputable and recognized Municipal
4! Bond Insurer with the highest rating from A.M. Best & Company, or
a reserve account letter of credit from a bank or trust company
•
4 whose letter of credit results in the rating of municipal obliga-
tions in one of the three (3) highest categories of either
Moody's Investors Service or Standard and Poors, Inc., in an
amount equal to the difference between the Maximum Debt Service
Requirement and the sums then on deposit in the Reserve Account,
if any, which Reserve Account- insurance policy shall be payable
or available to be drawn upon, as the case may be (upon the
giving of notice as required thereunder), on any Bond interest
payment date on which a deficiency exists which cannot be cured by
money 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, the Issuer shall be obligated
to either reinstate the maximum limits of such Reserve Account
insurance policy immediately following such disbursement, to the
Maximum Debt Service Requirement, or to deposit into the Reserve
Account from the Revenues, as herein provided, funds in the
amount of the disbursement made under such Reserve Account
insurance policy, or a combination of such alternatives as shall
equal the Maximum Debt Service Requirement.
Moneys in the Reserve Account shall be used only for the
purpose of the payment of maturing Amortization Installments or
principal of or interest on the Bonds when the other moneys allo-
cated to the Sinking Fund and Bond Amortization Fund are insuf-
ficient therefor, and for no other purpose. However, upon the
valuation of the Reserve Account in each year, if the moneys
applied and allocated to the Reserve Account (except investment
income to be deposited into the Revenue Fund as hereinafter
provided) exceed the Maximum Debt Service Requirement on all then
outstanding Bonds, such excess may be withdrawn and released to the
Issuer.
The Issuer may, at its option, upon the issuance of
-29-
Additional Parity Obligations, create and establish a separate
Reserve Account for each series of Additional Parity Obligations,
and any Reserve Account so established shall be for the exclusive
•
benefit of the Registered Owners of the applicable series of such
Additional Parity Obligations; however, in such event such
Registered Owners of a series of Bonds shall have no right to
require payment of the principal of, Amortization Installments for
6_6 or interest on any Bonds held by them, from the Reserve Account
created for any other series of Bonds. Such separate Reserve
Accounts may be funded in the same manner as the Reserve Account
herein created.
(5) Upon the issuance of any Additional Parity
Obligations under the terms, limitations and conditions as herein
provided, the applications and allocations into the Sinking Fund
(including the Reserve Account if no separate Reserve Account is
funded), and if Term Bonds are issued, into the Bond Amortization
Fund, shall be increased in such amounts as are necessary to make
the payments required above for the principal of and interest on
such Additional Parity Obligations, and, if Term Bonds are issued,
the Amortization Installments with respect thereto, all on the same
basis as hereinabove provided with respect to the Bonds initially
issued under this Resolution.
The Issuer shall not be required to make any further
applications or allocations to the Sinking Fund, the Bond fUnorti-
zation Fund or the Reserve Account when the aggregate sums applied
and allocated thereto are and remain at least equal to the sum of
all of the annual Debt Service Requirements then due and becoming
due in all ensuing years for the Bonds then outstanding, plus the
amount of redemption premiums, if any, then due and thereafter to
become due on the Bonds then outstanding by operation of the Bond
Amortization Fund_
(7) Thereafter the balance of any revenues re-
maining after the above required payments (including deficiencies
for prior payments) have been made may be used by the Issuer for
-30-
any lawful purpose.
(8) The Revenue Fund, the Sinking Fund, the [fond
Amortization Fund and the Reserve Account and any other special
funds herein established and created shall constitute trust funds
for the purposes provided herein for such funds. All such funds
shall be continuously secured in the same manner as municipal depo-
sits are authorized to be secured by the laws.of the State of
GA M Florida.
Moneys on deposit in the Revenue Fund, the Sinking Fund
and the Bond Amortization Fund may be invested and reinvested
only in Authorized Investments, as herein defined, maturing not
later than the date on which the moneys therein will be needed.
The moneys in the Reserve Account, to the extent that the yield on
the investment thereof is not restricted pursuant to regulation of
the Internal Revenue Service relating to "arbitrage bonds", may be
invested and reinvested only in Federal Securities set forth in
Subsection 2M(i) hereof, provided such investments mature not later
than the final maturity date of the Bonds.
Any and all income received by the Issuer from all such
investments be deposited into the Revenue Fund on the next business
day following the receipt thereof. The cash required to be
accounted for in each of the foregoing funds established herein may
be deposited in a single bank account, provided that adequate
accounting records are maintained to reflect and control the
restricted allocation of the cash on deposit therein for the
various purposes of such funds as herein provided. The designation
and establishment of the various funds in and by this Resolution
shall not be construed to require the establishment of any comple-
tely independent, self -balancing funds, as such term is commonly
defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended
solely to constitute an earmarking of certain revenues and assets
of the System for certain purposes to establish certain priorities
for application of such revenues and assets as herein provided.
C. OPERATION OF BOND AMORTIZATION FUND. Moneys held
-31-

Bonds and the redemption premium which would be applicable if the
• moneys applied to such purchase were otherwise applied to the re-
demption of Term Bonds under paragraphs (2) or (3) below. The
Issuer shall pay the interest accrued on such Term Bonds to the
date of delivery thereof from the Sinking Fund and the purchase
price from the Bond Amortization Fund, but no such purchase shall
be made by the Issuer within the period of forty-five (45) days

low, the Issuer shall call for redemption on each interest payment
date on which Term Bonds are subject to redemption from moneys in

Amortization Fund as nearly as may be practicable. Prior to call-
ing Term Bonds for redemption the Issuer shall withdraw from the
Sinking Fund and from the Bond Amortization Fund and set aside in
separate accounts or deposit with the Paying Agents the respective
amounts required for paying the interest on the Term Bonds so
called for redemption.

After all other required payments have been made, the
Issuer shall pay from the Revenue Fund all expenses in connection
with any such purchase or redemption.

Amortization Fund and if the Issuer shall at any time be unable to
exhaust the moneys applicable to the Term Bonds of such series
S
under the provisions of this clause (i) in the purchase of such
Term Bonds under the provisions of paragraph (1) above, such moneys
or the balance of such moneys, as the case may be, shall be re-
tained in the Bond Amortization Fund and, as soon as it is feasible,
applied to the retirement of Term Bonds of such series; and
(ii) any balance then remaining, other than moneys
retained under clause (i) of this paragraii, shall be applied to
the retirement of, the Bonds as the Issuer in its sole discretion
shall. determine, but only in the case of the redemption of Bonds
of any series, in such amounts and on such terms as may be pro-
vided in the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Bonds of
such series.
(4) The Issuer shall deposit into the Bond Amorti-
zation Fund Amortization Installments for the amortization of the
principal of the Current Interest Paying Term Bonds of any series,

ciencies for prior required deposits into the Bond Amortization

such years as shall be determined by resolution of the governing
body of the Issuer at or prior to the sale of. the Bonds of such
series. With respect to Capital Appreciation Term Bonds,
Soub Paragra by ( 1) through ( 3 ) above shall not apply.

Issuer shall pay from the Revenue Fund all expenses in connection
with any such purchase or redemption.

sions hereof or any trustee acting for the holders of such Bonds

competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights,
including the right to the appointment of a receiver, existing
under the laws of the State of Florida, or granted and contained
herein, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties
herein required or by any applicable statutes to be performed by
the Issuer or by any officer thereof, including, but not limited
to, the duty of the Issuer to remedy any event of default herein
prescribed.

any holder of such Bonds any lien on any property of or within the
corporate boundaries of the Issuer.
I. ISSUANCE OF OTHER OBLIGATIONS. The Issuer will not
issue any other obligations, except under the conditions and in the
manner provided herein, payable from the Sales Tax and Investment

The foregoing provision notwithstanding, except in the

case of a complete refunding of all of the Bonds issued hereunder
and then outstanding, Additional Parity Obligations may be issued
to refund a series of Bonds or any portion of a series of Bonds,
including any maturity or portion of a maturity within any series
of Bonds, or any combination thereof, without compliance with the
above paragraph so long as the Debt Service Requirement, as defined
Oi
herein, in each Fiscal Year after the refunding does not exceed in
each and every case the Debt Service Requirement, as defined
herein, in each Fiscal Year before the refunding, as determined by
the Accountant, whose certificate to that effect shall be fur-
nished to the Issuer. prior to the delivery of the Additional
Parity Refunding Obligations.
(2) For purposes of determining the Maximum Debt Service
Requirement for the issuance of Additional Parity Obligations which
will bear a variable rate of interest, the interest on such pro-
posed Additional Parity Obligations shall be deemed to be the
interest rate quoted in The Bond Buyer 20 General Obligation Bond
Index for the last week of the month preceding the date of sale of
such Additional Parity Obligations, as published in The Bond Buyer
or if that index is no longer published, an interest rate equal to
80% of the yield for outstanding Treasury bonds having an equiva-
lent maturity as the Additional Parity Obligations proposed to be
issued, or if there are no such Treasury bonds having equivalent
maturities, 80% of the lowest prevailing prime rate of any of the
five largest commercial banks in the United States ranked by
assets. -If none of the foregoing are available, such interest
rate shall be that selected by a Qualified Independent Consultant.
If Additional Parity Obligations are payable at the option of the
holder, the "put" date or dates shall be ignored and the stated
maturity dates thereof shall be used for purposes of calculating
the Maximum Debt Service Requirement for such variable rate
Additional Parity Obligations.
(3) Each resolution authorizing the issuance of Additional
-37-
Parity Obligations will recite that all of the covenants herein
contained will be applicable to such Additional Parity Obligations.
(4) The Issuer shall not be in default in performing any
•
of the covenants and obligations assumed hereunder., and all pay-
ments herein required to have been made into the accounts and
funds, as provided hereunder, shall have been made to the full
extent required.

(5) The Issuer covenants that it will not issue Designated
Maturity Bonds (as defined in Subsection 2 K(2)(ii) hereof) as
Additional Parity Obligations as long as Bonds insured by a
Municipal Bond Insurer remain outstanding unless (i) the Issuer
obtains the consent of such Municipal Bond Insurer to such
issuance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or (ii)
the Issuer. covenants at the time of issuanc, of such Designated
Maturity Bonds either to establish a credit facility which insures
payment of the principal of such Bonds on the date of maturity
thereof or to refund such Bonds, in either case at a date not later
than five years preceding the stated maturity thereof. The
foregoing covenant relating to Designated Maturity Bonds shall also
apply to any installments of bonds originally issued under this
Resolution after the initial installment, which are not required to
meet the above stated parity test.
K. ARBITRAGE. No use will be made of the proceeds of
the Bonds which, if such use were reasonably expected on the date
of issuance of the Bonds, would cause the same to be "arbitrage
bonds" within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
The Issuer at all times while the Bonds and the interest thereon
are outstanding will comply with the requirements of Section
103(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and any valid and
applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

that no modification or amendment shall permit a change in the
maturity of the Bonds or a reduction in the rate of interest
thereon or in the amount of principal obligation thereof or
affecting the promise of the Issuer to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due from the Sales
Tax and Investment Income or reduce the percentage of the Holders
of the Bonds required to consentto any adverse material modifica-
tion or amendment hereof without the consent of the Holders of all
Bonds or the Municipal Bond Insurer, if any, of each series, as the
case may be; and provided further that the Issuer may at any time
amend this Resolution to provide for the issuance or exchange of
Bonds in coupon form, if and to the extent that doing so will not
affect the tax exempt status of the interest on the Bonds.
SECTION 19. SALE OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be issued
and sold at public or private sale at one time or in installments
from time to time and at such price or prices consistent with the
provisions of the Act and the requirements of this Resolution as
the Issuer shall hereafter determine by resolution; provided, that

only if the proceeds will be sufficient together with other funds
of the Issuer, to effect the refunding program described in
Section 3 of this Resolution.
SECTION 20. SEVERABILITY OF INVALID PROVISIONS. If any
one or more of the covenants, agreements or provisions herein con-
tained shall be held contrary to any express provision of law or
-39-
contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohi-
40
bited, or against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever
be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements or provi3ions
40 shall be null and void and shall be deemed separable from the re-
maining covenants, agreements or provisions and shall in no way
affect the validity of any of the other provisions hereof or of the
Bonds issued hereunder.
66 SECTION 21. PUBLICATION OF NOTICE OF REFUNDING. Within
thirty (30) days after the delivery of the first installment of the
Bonds, the Issuer shall cause to be published one time in a
newspaper or journal of general circulation in the City and State

Bonds.
S13CTION 22. VALIDATION AUTHORIZED. In the event the
Chairman shall determine, with the advice of the County Attorney
and Bond Counsel, that the Bonds shall be validated, then the

for the validation of the Bonds and the proper officers of the
Issuer are authorized to verify on behalf of the Issuer any
pleadings in such proceedings.
SECTION 23. USE OF FUNDS SET ASIDE FOR REFUNDED BONDS.
The moneys and investments in the funds and accounts established
in the proceedings authorizing the issuance of the Refunded Bonds
shall be transferred to one or more of the corresponding funds and
accounts established in this Resolution or, at the option of the
Issuer, shall be deposited in escrow for payment of the Refunded

or any maturity or portion of a maturity of a series, then, and in
that event, the pledge of and lien on the Sales Tax and Investment
Income in favor of the Holders of such Bonds shall be no longer in
effect. For purposes of the preceding sentence, deposit of Federal
Securities, as herein defined, in irrevocable trust with a banking
institution or trust company, for the sole benefit of such Bond-
iaholders, in respect to which such Federal Securities, the principal
and interest received will be sufficient to make timely payment of
the principal, interest, and redemption premiums, if any, on such
Bonds, shall be considered "provision for payment". Nothing herein
shall be deemed to require the Issuer to call any of the
outstanding Bonds for redemption prior to maturity pursuant to any
applicable optional redemption provisions, '.r to impair the discre-
tion of the Issuer in determining whether to exercise any such
option for early redemption.
SECTION 25. REPEAL OF INCONSISTENT ORDINANCES AND RESO--
LUTIONS. All ordinances or resolutions or parts thereof in con-
flict herewith shall, upon the date of issuance of any of the Bonds
authorized hereunder, stand repealed to the extent of such
conflict.
