Section 2. The City Commission hereby approves the CFP Master
Development Agreement, in the substantial form attached hereto as Exhibits "B", as well
as the forms of the agreements attached thereto, with such changes, corrections, insertions
and deletions thereto, or subsequent minor amendments to the CFP Master Development
Agreement as shall be approved by the Mayor, Vice-Mayor, or the City Manager(each, an
"Authorized Officer"), with the approval of the City Attorney, the execution thereof by an
Authorized Officer being deemed conclusive evidence of the approval of such changes.
Section 3. The City Commission acknowledges this Authorizing Resolution
and the agreements and transactions contemplated herein will be an integral part of the
financing for the CFP Bonds. Consequently, each Authorized Officer and the City
Attorney is hereby authorized and directed, either alone or jointly, under the official seal
of the City, to execute and deliver certificates of the City certifying such facts as Bond
Counsel shall require in connection with the issuance, sale, and delivery of the CFP
Bonds, and to execute and deliver such other instruments, including but not limited to,

perform CFP's obligations under the bond, underwriting, and offering documents, and to
take any and all actions necessary in order to consummate the transactions authorized
herein, subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and the approval of the City
Attorney.
Section 4. Security for Amounts due under the Leases; Permanent Financing
for the CFP Improvements.
4
A. CFP shall proceed with causing the completion of the CFP
Improvements, all in accordance with the CFP Master Development Agreement and
Leases. The City shall be responsible for paying from Available Non- Ad Valorem
Revenues (as defined in 5.A. below) rent payment amounts which shall be sufficient to
pay the debt service on the CFP Bonds (the "Rent Payments"), until the date the CFP
Bonds are paid in full.
B. In connection with the issuance of the CFP Bonds, CFP
shall pledge the Rent Payments to secure the repayment of the CFP Bonds.
Section 5. Covenant to Budget and Appropriate.
A. The City Commission covenants that it will budget and
appropriate Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, in amounts sufficient to pay the
amounts (including interest on such amounts) as described in Section 4, above. The
phrase "Non-Ad Valorem Revenues" shall mean all revenues of the City not derived
from ad valorem taxation. The phrase "Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues" shall
mean all Non-Ad Valorem Revenues other than (A) any revenues which are restricted
by a contract in existence on the date hereof, (B) any revenues which are prohibited
by law from being used to pay the payments required under the CFP Master
Development Agreement and the Leases, and any revenues which are not otherwise
legally available to pay the payments required under the CFP Master Development
Agreement and the Leases, such as but not limited to, revenues generated by the
imposition of special assessments which have been adopted to fund projects which are
not part of the CFP Improvements.
B. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the City to
budget and appropriate such amounts of Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall
be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such Available Non-Ad
Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to make all
such required payments shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the City, the City does not covenant to
maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the City, which
generate Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues.
C. Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create
any lien or pledge of Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the
City to levy and collect any particular Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does
it give the holders of any obligation payable from such covenant to budget and
appropriate a prior claim on the Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to
claims of general creditors of the City. Such covenant to budget and appropriate is
5
subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of Available
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or hereafter entered into (including debt service
on bonds and other obligations). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate in
its general annual budget or amendments thereto for the purposes and in the manner
stated herein shall have the effect of making available for payment of the obligations
of the City under the Master Agreement and the Leases, in the manner described
herein, the Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues of the City, and of placing on the
City a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts
sufficient to meet its obligations therein; subject, however, to the payment of services
and programs which are Essential Government Services or which are legally mandated
by applicable law. For purposes of this Section, the phrase "Essential Government
Services" means public safety and general governmental services provided by the City,
the expenditures for which are currently set forth as the line items entitled "General
Government" and Public Safety in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2017, and any equivalent line items in any
future financial statements of the City.
Section 6. Anti-Dilution Covenant. In addition to its covenant to budget
and appropriate as set forth in Section 5, above, the City further covenants that during
the period that all or a portion of the CFP Bonds remain outstanding, the City will not
incur additional debt that is secured by all or a portion of Available Non-Ad Valorem
Revenues unless there shall be filed with the City a report by an independent certified
public accountant, demonstrating that the total amount of Available Non-Ad Valorem
Revenues for the prior fiscal year is at least 1.50 times (or such other amount as may
be agreed to by an Authorized Officer and set forth in the bond documents) the
maximum annual debt service of all debt (including all long-term financial obligations
appearing on the City's most recent audited financial statements and any additional
debt proposed to be incurred) to be paid from Available Non-Ad Valorem Revenues
(collectively, "Debt"), including Debt payable from one or several specific revenue
sources.
Section 7. TEFRA Approval. Having considered any and all comments and
concerns expressed at the public hearing, the City Commission hereby approves the
issuance of the CFP Bonds, solely for purposes of Section 147(f) of the Code.
A. The Issuer is hereby authorized to take all action necessary
to do all things necessary to issue the CFP Bonds.
B. Except as otherwise provided for herein, the City shall
have no obligation with respect to the CFP Bonds, and, except as otherwise provided in
this Resolution, the approval given herein shall not be deemed to create any obligation or
6
liability, pecuniary or otherwise, of the City in any respect whatsoever. The general credit
or taxing power of the City and the State of Florida or any political subdivision or public
agency thereof shall not be pledged to the payment of the CFP Bonds. No statement,
representation or recital made herein shall be deemed to constitute a legal conclusion or a
determination by the City that any particular action or proposed action is required,
authorized or permitted under the laws of the State of Florida or the United States.
C. The approval given herein shall not be construed as (i)
an endorsement of the creditworthiness of CFP, or the financial viability of the CFP
Improvements, (ii) a recommendation to any prospective purchaser of the CFP Bonds,
(iii) an evaluation of the likelihood of the repayment of the debt service on the CFP
Bonds, or (iv) an approval of any necessary zoning applications nor for any
development plan approvals or other regulatory permits relating to the CFP
Improvements, and the City shall not be construed by reason of its adoption of this
resolution to have made any such endorsement, finding or recommendation or to have
waived any of the City's rights or estopping the City from asserting any rights or
responsibilities it may have in that regard.
Section 8. In the event that the definitive agreements referenced herein are
not executed by the parties, or in the event that the transactions contemplated herein
fail to close on or before November 1, 2018, the City agrees to reimburse CFP, the
Underwriter, and Bond Counsel for each entity's reasonable and customary fees and
out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein, all in accordance with the terms, conditions and limitations as are more fully
set forth in the Master Agreement.
