BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, ACTING AS THE EX-OFFICIO GOVERNING
BOARD OF THE COLLIER COUNTY WATER-SEWER DISTRICT:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. It is hereby found and determined that:
(A) On July 30, 1985, the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County,
Florida, acting as the ex-officio governing board (the "Governing Body") of the Collier
County Water-Sewer District (the "Issuer") duly adopted Resolution No. CWS-85-5, as
amended and restated by Resolution No. CWS-85-13 duly adopted on December 26,
1985, as amended and supplemented (collectively, the "Resolution"), for the purposes
described therein.
(B) The Issuer currently has outstanding pursuant to the Resolution its Collier
County Water-Sewer District Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series
1999A, its Collier County Water-Sewer District Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue
Bonds, Series 1999B, its Collier County Water-Sewer District Taxable Water and Sewer
Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2003A, and its Collier County Water-Sewer District
Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2003B (collectively, the
"Outstanding Parity Bonds").
(C) The Issuer hereby determines that certain capital improvements should be
acquired, constructed and equipped with respect to the System (as defined in the
Resolution) in order to improve the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants within
the Issuer's geographic boundaries. Such capital improvements are generally described in
Exhibit A hereto and are more particularly described in the records, plans and
specifications on file with the Issuer (the "Series 2006 Project"). The Series 2006 Project
may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Governing Body in
accordance with the provisions of the Resolution.
(D) In order to finance the acquisition, construction and equipping of a portion
of the Series 2006 Project on an interim basis, the Issuer previously issued its Collier
County Water-Sewer District Revenue Note, Draw No. A-1-1 and Collier County Water-
Sewer District Revenue Note, Draw No. A-1-2 (collectively, the "Prior Notes") in the
aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000 to the Florida Local Government Finance
Commission (the "Finance Commission") to evidence borrowings under the Finance
Commission's Pooled Commercial Paper Loan Program.
(E) In order to provide permanent financing with respect to that portion of the
Series 2006 Project originally financed on an interim basis with proceeds of the Prior
Notes and to eliminate interest rate risk inherent with variable interest rate debt
obligations such as the Prior Notes, it is in the best interests of the Issuer to current refund
the Prior Notes with the proceeds of a longer term, fixed interest rate obligation.
(F) The Resolution provides for the issuance of Additional Bonds, payable on a
parity with the Outstanding Parity Bonds, for the purpose of financing the acquisition,
2
construction and equipping of the Series 2006 Project and current refunding the Prior
Notes, upon meeting certain requirements set forth in the Resolution.
(G) There is hereby authorized the financing and/or reimbursing of the costs of
the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Series 2006 Project and the current
refunding of the Prior Notes, all in the manner as provided by this Supplemental
Resolution and by the Resolution.
(H) The Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to issue its Collier County
Water-Sewer District Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2006 (the "Series 2006
Bonds") for the principal purpose of financing and/or reimbursing the costs of the
acquisition, construction and equipping of the Series 2006 Project and current refunding
the Prior Notes. The Series 2006 Bonds shall be issued on parity in all respects with the
Outstanding Parity Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Resolution.
(I) In accordance with Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, and pursuant to this
Supplemental Resolution, the Series 2006 Bonds shall be advertised for competitive bids
pursuant to the Official Notice of Sale, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B
(the "Official Notice of Sale").
(J) Pursuant to the Official Notice of Sale, any competitive bids received in
accordance with the Official Notice of Sale on or prior to 10:00 a.m., Eastern Standard
Time, on November 28, 2006, or such other date or time as is determined by the
Chairman in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Official Notice of Sale,
shall be publicly opened and announced.
(K) Due to the present volatility and uncertainty of the market for tax-exempt
obligations such as the Series 2006 Bonds, it is desirable for the Issuer to be able to
advertise and award the Series 2006 Bonds at the most advantageous time and date which
shall be determined by the Chairman; and, accordingly, the Governing Body hereby
determines to delegate the advertising and awarding of the Series 2006 Bonds to the
Chairman within the parameters described herein.
(L) It is necessary and appropriate that the Governing Body determine certain
parameters for the terms and details of the Series 2006 Bonds and to delegate certain
authority to the Chairman for the award of the Series 2006 Bonds and the approval of the
terms of the Series 2006 Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof, of the
Resolution and of the Official Notice of Sale.
(M) In the event Bond Counsel to the Issuer shall determine that the Series 2006
Bonds have not been awarded competitively in accordance with the provisions of Section
218.385, Florida Statutes, the Governing Body shall adopt such resolutions and make
such findings as shall be necessary to authorize and ratify a negotiated sale of the Series
2006 Bonds in accordance with said Section 218.385, Florida Statutes.
3
(N) The form, terms and details of the Series 2006 Bonds shall be determined in
accordance with this Supplemental Resolution and the Resolution.
(0) The Resolution provides that the Series 2006 Bonds shall mature on such
dates and in such amounts, shall bear such rates of interest, shall be payable in such
places and shall be subject to such redemption provisions as shall be determined by
Supplemental Resolution adopted by the Issuer; and it is now appropriate that the Issuer
set forth the parameters and mechanism to determine such terms and details.
(P) The Series 2006 Bonds shall not be or constitute general obligations or
indebtedness of the Issuer as "bonds" within the meaning of any constitutional or
statutory provision but shall be special obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from and
secured by a lien upon and pledge of the Pledged Funds, in the manner and to the extent
provided in the Resolution.
(Q) The covenants, pledges and conditions in the Resolution shall be applicable
to the Series 2006 Bonds herein authorized and said Series 2006 Bonds shall be on a
parity with and rank equally as to the lien on and source and security for payment from
the Pledged Funds and in all other respects with the Outstanding Parity Bonds, and shall
constitute "Bonds" within the meaning of the Resolution. The Issuer is current in all
deposits in the various funds and accounts established by the Resolution and all payments
theretofore required to have been deposited or made by it under the provisions of the
Resolution have been deposited or made and the Issuer has complied with the covenants
and agreements of the Resolution.

Resolution, the terms defined in the Resolution shall have the meanings therein stated,
except as such definitions shall be hereinafter amended and defined.

Costs of the Series 2006 Project and refunding, on a current basis, the Prior Notes. The
aggregate principal amount of the Series 2006 Bonds to be issued pursuant to the

Resolution, "Bond Year" shall mean the period commencing on July 1 of each year and
continuing through the next succeeding June 30.

National Association as Registrar and Paying Agent, made payable to and mailed to the

wire transfer to the account of such Holder. The principal of or Redemption Price, if

Bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at

The Series 2006 Bonds shall bear interest at such rates and prices or yields, shall
mature on July 1 of each of the years and in the principal amounts corresponding to such
years, and shall have such redemption provisions as determined by the Chairman subject
to the conditions set forth in Sections 5, 6 and 7 hereof and the provisions of the Official

5.50%. In accordance with the provisions of the Official Notice of Sale, the Chairman
may, in his sole discretion, reject any and all bids.
SECTION 7. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS FOR SERIES 2006

SECTION 8. BOOK-ENTRY. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in
Section 2.08 of the Resolution, the Series 2006 Bonds shall be initially issued in the form
of a separate single certificated fully registered Series 2006 Bond for each of the
maturities of the Series 2006 Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such
Series 2006 Bond shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). As long
as the Series 2006 Bonds are registered in the name of Cede & Co., all of the Outstanding
Series 2006 Bonds shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in
the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. As long as the Series 2006 Bonds shall be
registered in the name of Cede & Co., all payments of principal on the Series 2006 Bonds
shall be made by the Paying Agent by check or draft or by bank wire transfer to Cede &
Co., as Holder of the Series 2006 Bonds, upon presentation of the Series 2006 Bonds to
be paid, to the Paying Agent.
With respect to Series 2006 Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the
Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Issuer, the Registrar and
the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any direct or indirect
participant in the DTC book-entry program (the "Participants"). Without limiting the
immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall
have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of
DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest on the Series
2006 Bonds, (B) the delivery to any Participant or any other Person other than a
6
Bondholder, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, of any notice with
respect to the Series 2006 Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (C) the payment
to any Participant or any other Person, other than a Bondholder, as shown in the
registration books kept by the Registrar, of any amount with respect to principal of,
Redemption Price, if any, or interest on the Series 2006 Bonds. The Issuer, the Registrar
and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the Person in whose name each Series 2006
Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the Holder and
absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, Redemption Price,
if any, and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering
transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying
Agent shall pay all principal of, Redemption Price, if any, and interest on the Series 2006
Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Holders, as shown in the registration
books kept by the Registrar, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, as
provided herein and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, Redemption
Price, if any, and interest on the Series 2006 Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid. No Person other than a Holder, as shown in the registration books kept by the
Registrar, shall receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to
make payments of principal, Redemption Price, if any, and interest pursuant to the
provisions of the Resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the Issuer of written notice to the
effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and
subject to the provisions in the Resolution with respect to transfers during the 15 days
next preceding an Interest Date or first mailing of notice of redemption, the words "Cede
& Co." in this Supplemental Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC; and
upon receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall promptly deliver a copy of the same to the
Registrar and the Paying Agent.
Upon (A) receipt by the Issuer of written notice from DTC (i) to the effect that a
continuation of the requirement that all of the outstanding Series 2006 Bonds be
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, is not in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Series 2006
Bonds or (ii) to the effect that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities
and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of DTC hereunder can be
found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable and
customary terms, or (B) determination by the Issuer that such book-entry only system is
burdensome or undesirable to the Issuer and compliance by the Issuer with all applicable
policies and procedures of DTC regarding discontinuing of the book entry registration
system, the Series 2006 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the
registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC,
but may be registered in whatever name or names Holders shall designate, in accordance
with the provisions of the Resolution. In such event, the Issuer shall issue and the
Registrar shall authenticate, transfer and exchange the Series 2006 Bonds of like
7
principal amount and maturity, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple
thereof to the Holders thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, until such time as
participation in the book-entry only system is discontinued, the provisions set forth in the
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations previously executed by the Issuer and delivered
to DTC shall apply to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Series 2006 Bonds.
SECTION 9. APPLICATION OF SERIES 2006 BOND PROCEEDS.
The proceeds derived from the sale of the Series 2006 Bonds shall be applied by the
Issuer simultaneously with the delivery thereof as follows:
(A) An amount equal to the accrued interest on the Series 2006 Bonds, if any,
and capitalized interest shall be deposited to the Interest Account and shall be used for
the purpose of paying a portion of the interest which shall become due on the Series 2006
Bonds.

the payment of costs and expenses relating to the issuance of the Series 2006 Bonds,

(E) Payments with respect to claims for interest on and principal of Series 2006

attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by MBIA in connection with (i) enforcement by
MBIA of the Issuer's obligations, or the preservation or defense of any rights of MBIA,
under the Resolution and any other document executed in connection with the issuance of
the Series 2006 Bonds, and (ii) any consent, amendment, waiver or other action with
respect to the Resolution or any related document, whether or not granted or approved,
together with interest on all such expenses from and including the date incurred to the
date of payment of Citibank's prime rate plus 3% or the maximum interest rate permitted
by law, whichever is less. In addition, MBIA reserves the right to charge a fee in
connection with its review of any such consent, amendment or waiver, whether or not
granted or approved.
(L) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 16(L), the Issuer agrees not to
use MBIA's name in any public document including, without limitation, a press release or
presentation, announcement or forum without MBIA's prior consent. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer may use, refer to and disclose MBIA's name
in its ordinary course of business and government activity. Such use, reference or
disclosure includes, but is not limited to, publishing MBIA's name in the Issuer's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, any Preliminary or final Official Statement,
12
any continuing disclosure document, or any other document or instrument that is
prepared by the Issuer in the ordinary course of its business and government activity. In
addition, the Issuer may disclose MBIA's name in accordance with any applicable public
records or other laws. In the event that the Issuer is proposing to disclose MBIA's name
in any press release, public announcement or other public document outside of its
ordinary course of business and governmental activity, the Issuer shall provide MBIA
with at least three (3) business days' prior written notice of its intent to use MBIA's name
together with a copy of the proposed use of MBIA's name and of any description of a
transaction with MBIA and shall obtain MBIA's prior consent as to the form and
substance of the proposed use of MBIA's name and any such description.
(M) The Issuer shall not enter into any agreement nor shall it consent to or
participate in any arrangement pursuant to which Series 2006 Bonds are tendered or
purchased for any purpose other than the redemption and cancellation or legal defeasance
of such Series 2006 Bonds without the prior written consent of MBIA.
(N) MBIA, acting alone, shall have the right to direct all remedies with respect
to the Series 2006 Bonds in the event of a default under the Resolution. MBIA shall be
recognized as the registered owner of each Series 2006 Bond which it insures for the
purposes of exercising all rights and privileges available to Series 2006 Bondholders. For
Series 2006 Bonds which it insures, MBIA shall have the right to institute any suit,
action, or proceeding at law or in equity under the same terms as a Series 2006
Bondholder in accordance with applicable provisions of the Resolution. Other than the
standard redemption provisions set forth in the Resolution, any acceleration of principal
payments on the Series 2006 Bonds shall be subject to MBIA's prior written consent.
(0) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution to the contrary, upon
the defeasance of any Series 2006 Bonds pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Resolution, the
Issuer shall provide MBIA with an opinion of counsel acceptable to MBIA that the Series
2006 Bonds have been legally defeased and that the escrow agreement establishing such
defeasance operates to legally defease the Series 2006 Bonds within the meaning of the
Resolution. In addition, the Issuer shall provide MBIA with (i) 15 business days notice
of any advance refunding of the Series 2006 Bonds and (ii) an accountant's report with
respect to the sufficiency of the amounts deposited in escrow to defease the Series 2006
Bonds.
SECTION 17. SECONDARY MARKET DISCLOSURE. Subject in all
respects to the award of the Series 2006 Bonds in accordance with this Supplemental
Resolution and the Official Notice of Sale, the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that, in
order to provide for compliance by the Issuer with the secondary market disclosure
requirements of the Rule, it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate to be executed by the Issuer and dated the dated date of
the Series 2006 Bonds, as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the
13
terms thereof. The Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit D hereto with such changes, amendments, modifications, omissions and additions
as shall be approved by the Chairman who is hereby authorized to execute and delivery
such Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution, failure of the
Issuer to comply with such Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered an
Event of Default under the Resolution; provided, however, to the extent permitted by law,
the sole and exclusive remedy of any Series 2006 Bondholder for the enforcement of the
provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall be an action for mandamus or
specific performance, as applicable, by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply with its
obligations under this Section 17 and the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. For purposes
of this Section 17, "Series 2006 Bondholder" shall mean any Person who (A) has the
power, directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of
ownership of, any Series 2006 Bonds (including persons holding such Bonds through
nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or(B) is treated as the owner of any such
Bond for federal income tax purposes.
SECTION 18. GENERAL AUTHORITY. The members of the Governing
Body of the Issuer, the Clerk and the officers, attorneys and other agents or employees of

one or more of the covenants, agreements or provisions herein contained shall be held
contrary to any express provision of law or contrary to the policy of express law, though
not expressly prohibited or against public policy, or shall for any reason whatsoever be
