TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CREDIT ACCOMMODATION DATED
April 3, 2020 ("Loan")
THIS IS A STATEMENT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND NOT A COMMITMENT TO LEND. ALL CREDIT
ACCOMMODATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO FORMAL CREDIT UNDERWRITING AND APPROVAL.
1. Loan
a) Borrower: City of Boynton Beach, FL (the "Borrower")
b) Facility: Series 2020A: Bank Loan (the "2020A Note") issued as a "Cinderella"
Bond," as described herein.
c) Purpose: The 2020A Note will be issued to refund the City's outstanding Utility
System Revenue Bonds, Series 2012 maturing on and after November 1,
2022 and pay costs of issuing the 2020A Note.
d) Amount: Not to exceed $43,000,000.00 USD
e) Security: The principal and interest on the 2020A Note will be payable solely from
and secured by a pledge of the Pledged Revenues, which include (i) Net
Revenues of the System, (ii) certain Impact Fees, and (iii) subject to
application thereof as provided in the Resolution, amounts in certain funds
and accounts established under the Resolution. No Debt Service Reserve
Fund will be funded for the 2020A Note. The lien of the 2020A Note on the
Pledged Revenues will be on parity with the 2002 Bonds, 2012 Bonds not
refunded by the 2020A Note, 2016 Bond, 2018 Bond and any Additional
Bonds issued under the Resolution.
f) Settlement
Date: Estimated April 27, 2020
g) Maturity: November 1, 2034
h) Repayment Interest on the 2020A Note will be paid semi-annually (May 1 and
Terms: November 1), commencing on November 1, 2020, based upon a 30/360-
day basis.
Principal on the 2020A Note will be paid annually (November 1),
commencing on November 1, 2020, with final maturity of November 1,
2036 in accordance with the Amortization Schedule attached in Appendix
A.
i) Interest Rate: Taxable Fixed Rate: 2.56% until satisfaction of conditions to convert to
tax-exempt rate as described below.
3
This rate will be held until a settlement date no later than April 30, 2020 so
long as the Bank receives notification that it will be recommended Lender
on or before 5:00PM EST on April 3, 2020.
In the event the selection or closing goes beyond the dates noted above,
the fixed interest rate will be determined by mutual agreement between
the parties.
The initial taxable rate may be converted to a tax-exempt rate of 2.09%,
which based on current tax law we understand can be within 90 days prior
to the 2012 Bond first optional redemption date, provided that there shall
be no default or event of default and there shall be delivered to the Bank
an opinion of bond counsel that the interest on the 2020A Note is
excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for Federal income
tax purposes. Until the conditions precedent for the conversion to the tax-
exempt rate shall be satisfied, the 2020A Note shall continue to bear
interest at the taxable rate.
j) Prepayment Provision: Option A: At the time of any full or partial prepayment, (i) A "Yield
Maintenance Fee" in an amount computed as follows shall apply:
This Note may be prepaid on any Business Day in whole or in part upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Bank. In the event of any
prepayment of the 2020A Note, whether by voluntary prepayment,
acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall, at the option of the Bank,
pay a "fixed rate prepayment charge" equal to the greater of (i) 1.00% of
the principal balance being prepaid multiplied by the "Remaining Term,"
as hereinafter defined, in years or (ii) a "Yield Maintenance Fee" in an
amount computed as follows:
The current cost of funds, specifically the bond equivalent yield for United
States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted
to a bond equivalent yield) with a maturity date closest to the "Remaining
Term", shall be subtracted from the "Stated Interest Rate"in effect at the
time of prepayment. If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall
be no Yield Maintenance Fee due and payable. If the result is a positive
number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount
being prepaid times the number of days in the "Remaining Term" and
divided by 360. The resulting amount is the "fixed prepayment charge"
due to the Bank upon prepayment of the principal of this Loan plus any
accrued interest due as of the prepayment date and is expressed in the
following calculation:
Yield Maintenance Fee = [Amount Being Prepaid x (Stated Interest Rate -
Current Cost of Funds) x Days in the Remaining Term/360 days] + any
accrued interest due "Remaining Term."
"Remaining Term" as used herein shall mean the remaining term of the
2020A Note.
Option B: Borrower can elect to have a "No Prepayment" penalty
associated with 2020A Note by adding a premium of 14 basis points to the
quoted proposed Loan Rates.
Partial prepayments shall be applied in inverse order of maturity, treating
scheduled amortization installments as maturities.
4
k) Default Rate of Interest: The "default rate of interest" shall be six (6) percentage points in excess of
the Prime Rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal.
Events of Default: Will include, but not be limited to:
(1) Breach of representation or warranties.
(2)Violation of covenants.
(3) Bankruptcy or insolvency.
(5) Payment default.

a late charge of six percent (6%) of the overdue payment shall be
assessed.

(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, court costs, litigation and other
expenses) incurred or paid by the Bank in connection with the loan. The City's bond counsel will provide
documentation associated with this transaction. Documentation will be subject to the review and approval of the
Bank and the Bank's counsel. The City agrees to pay all legal fees and expenses of the Bank associated with
the review and closing of this transaction, which costs may be paid with proceeds of the Loan with a maximum
time basis not to exceed $17,500.00 upon initial issuance and $5,000 upon conversion of taxable loan to tax-
exempt loan. Bank's counsel shall be the following:
