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 previously issued its Collier County Water-Sewer District Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2006 (the "Series 2006 Bonds") pursuant to the Resolution for the purpose of financing and refinancing certain capital improvements to the Issuer's System(as defined in the Resolution). (C) The Resolution provides for the issuance of Additional Bonds, payable on a parity with Bonds Outstanding (as such terms are defined in the Resolution) under the Resolution (the "Outstanding Parity Bonds"), for the purpose of advance refunding a portion of the Series 2006 Bonds (as determined pursuant to the provisions hereof, the "Refunded Bonds"), upon meeting certain requirements set forth in the Resolution. (D) The Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to issue its Collier County Water-Sewer District Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bond, Series 2015 (the "Series 2015 Bond") for the principal purpose of advance refunding the Refunded Bonds in order to achieve net present value debt service savings for the Issuer, which Series 2015 Bond shall be issued on parity in all respects with the Outstanding Parity Bonds pursuant to the terms of the Resolution. (E) For the refunding of the Refunded Bonds, the Issuer shall, as provided herein, deposit part of the proceeds derived from the sale of the Series 2015 Bond, together with other legally available moneys of the Issuer, in a special escrow deposit trust fund (the "Escrow Fund"), which shall be sufficient to pay the Refunded Bonds as the same mature or are redeemed prior to maturity, all as provided herein and in the hereinafter described Escrow Deposit Agreement; subsequent to the defeasance of the Refunded Bonds, the Refunded Bonds shall no longer be payable from or be secured by any portion of the Pledged Funds (as defined in the Resolution). (F) On September 8, 2015, the Governing Body determined that the proposal of Bank of America, N.A. (the "Purchaser") to purchase the Series 2015 Bond (the "Proposal") was the most cost effective and conforming proposal the Issuer received in response to its previously issued Request for Quote and the Issuer accepted the Proposal. (G) Due to the potential volatility of the market for tax-exempt obligations such as the Series 2015 Bond and the complexity of the transactions relating to such Series 2015 Bond, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to sell the Series 2015 Bond by a negotiated sale to the Purchaser pursuant to the Proposal and the provisions hereof and of the Resolution, rather than at a specified advertised date, thereby permitting the Issuer to obtain the best possible price,terms and interest rate for the Series 2015 Bond. (H) The Issuer hereby certifies that it is current in all deposits into the various funds and accounts established by the Resolution and all payments theretofore required to 2 have been deposited or made by the Issuer under the provisions of the Resolution have been deposited or made and the Issuer has complied with the covenants and agreements of the Resolution and is not currently in default under the Resolution. (I) The Resolution provides that the Series 2015 Bond 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 (as defined in the Resolution) adopted by the Issuer; and it is now appropriate that the Issuer determine certain of such provisions, terms and details and establish the mechanisms for determining the remaining provisions, terms and details. (J) The Series 2015 Bond shall not be or constitute a general obligation or indebtedness of the Issuer as a "bond" within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision but shall be a special obligation 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. (K) The covenants, pledges and conditions in the Resolution shall be applicable to the Series 2015 Bond herein authorized and said Series 2015 Bond 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 a"Bond" within the meaning of the Resolution. SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS. When used in this Supplemental Resolution, the terms defined in the Resolution shall have the meanings therein stated, except as such definitions shall be hereinafter amended and defined. SECTION 3. AUTHORITY FOR THIS SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTION. This Supplemental Resolution is adopted pursuant to the provisions of the Act. SECTION 4. AUTHORIZATION OF THE ADVANCE REFUNDING OF THE REFUNDED BONDS; CONFIRMATION OF PROPOSAL.

(the "Bond Counsel"), which specific maturities of the Series 2006 Bonds (or portions thereof) shall be refunded in connection with the issuance of the Series 2015 Bond and only such maturities (or portions thereof)shall constitute "Refunded Bonds" hereunder. 3 (B) The Issuer hereby confirms its prior acceptance of the Proposal of the Purchaser, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The specific principal amount of the Series 2015 Bond to be issued pursuant to the Resolution shall be determined by the Chairman, upon the advice of the Issuer's Financial Advisor, provided such principal amount does not exceed $18,000,000.

(A) The Series 2015 Bond may be redeemed in whole, or in part, on any date, with three (3) days prior written notice to the Series 2015 Bondholder by payment in an amount equal to the principal amount to be prepaid plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment plus the Prepayment Fee. For purposes of this Section 6, the Prepayment Fee will be the sum of fees calculated separately for each Prepaid Installment(as defined below), as follows: (i) The Series 2015 Bondholder will first determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month at the Taxable Equivalent Rate (as defined below) for the Prepaid Installment had it remained outstanding until the applicable Original Payment Date(as defined below). (ii) The Series 2015 Bondholder will then subtract from each monthly interest amount determined in (i) above, the amount of interest which would accrue for that Prepaid Installment if it were reinvested from the date of redemption through the Original Payment Date, using the Treasury Rate(as defined below). (iii) If(i) minus (ii) for the Prepaid Installment is greater than zero, the Series 2015 Bondholder will discount the monthly differences to the date of by the Treasury Rate. The Series 2015 Bondholder will then add together all of the discounted monthly differences for the Prepaid Installment. The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the Prepayment Fee: "Original Payment Dates" mean the dates on which the redeemed principal would have been paid if there had been no redemption. If any of the principal would have been paid later than the end of the fixed rate interest period in effect at the time of redemption, then the Original Payment Date for that amount will be the last day of the interest period. "Prepaid Installment" means the amount of the redeemed principal which would have been paid on a single Original Payment Date. "Taxable Equivalent Rate" means the interest rate per annum derived from the following formula: Interest Rate on the applicable Series 2015 Bond divided by the 5 difference of (1 minus the Maximum Corporate Income Tax Rate). The "Maximum Corporate Income Tax Rate" is the highest marginal federal income tax rate charged to U.S. corporations in effect at the time of the prepayment calculation. The "Maximum Corporate Income Tax Rate" is currently 35%(or 0.35 in numerical terms). "Treasury Rate" means the yield on the Treasury Constant Maturity Series with a maturity equal to the Original Payment Date of the Prepaid Installment calculated as of the date of prepayment in accordance with accepted financial practice and rounded to the nearest quarter-year, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15, Selected Interest Rates of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor publication. If no maturity exactly corresponding to such Original Payment Date appears in Release H.15, the Treasury Rate will be determined by linear interpolation between the yields reported in Release H.15. If for any reason Release H.15 is no longer published, the Series 2015 Bondholder shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate. (B) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Resolution, the Issuer shall not be required to provide the Series 2015 Bondholder with any notice with respect to the payment of any scheduled Sinking Fund Installment. SECTION 7. APPLICATION OF SERIES 2015 BOND PROCEEDS. The proceeds derived from the sale of the Series 2015 Bond shall be applied by the Issuer simultaneously with the delivery thereof as follows: (A) A sufficient amount of Series 2015 Bond proceeds, together with other legally available moneys of the Issuer, shall be deposited irrevocably in trust in the Escrow Fund established under the terms and provisions of the hereinafter defined Escrow Deposit Agreement to pay the principal of, Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on the Refunded Bonds as the same mature and become due and payable or are redeemed prior to maturity.

The Refunded Bonds will be refunded from proceeds of the Series 2015 Bond and from other legally available funds of the Issuer. Any excess moneys on deposit in the Sinking Fund established for the benefit of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the Resolution and not required to remain on deposit therein shall be transferred to the Escrow Fund established pursuant to the Escrow Deposit Agreement. SECTION 9. APPOINTMENT OF PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. The Clerk is hereby designated Registrar and Paying Agent for the Series 2015 Bond. 6 SECTION 10. AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE ESCROW DEPOSIT AGREEMENT. The Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Chairman to execute and the Clerk to attest an escrow deposit agreement(the "Escrow Deposit Agreement") and to deliver the Escrow Deposit Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., Jacksonville, Florida, which is hereby appointed as Escrow Agent. The Escrow Deposit Agreement shall be in substantially the form of the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B with such changes, amendments, modifications, omissions and additions, including the date of such Escrow Agreement, as may be approved by said Chairman. Execution by the Chairman of the Escrow Agreement shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of approval of such changes. The Chairman is authorized and directed to determine, upon the advice of the Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel, whether to fund the escrow deposit trust fund established under the Escrow Deposit Agreement, with uninvested cash or Refunding Securities (as defined in the Resolution) and the provisions of the Escrow Deposit Agreement may be modified accordingly. SECTION 11. APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF RATE LOCK AGREEMENT. The Issuer hereby approves and ratifies the Issuer's prior execution and delivery of the rate lock agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the "Rate Lock Agreement") and all actions taken by officials and staff of the Issuer, the Financial Advisor and Bond Counsel in connection therewith. If the Issuer is obligated to pay a breakage fee pursuant to the Rate Lock Agreement, such obligation shall be secured by and payable from a pledge of and lien on the Gross Revenues (as defined in the Resolution); provided, however, such pledge of and lien on the Gross Revenues shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to the pledge and lien granted to the holders of the Bonds and the Issuer's outstanding state revolving loan agreements. SECTION 12. DETERMINATION OF TAXABILITY. (A) In the event of a Determination of Taxability (as defined below), the Interest Rate on the Series 2015 Bond shall be immediately increased to a rate equal to 154% of the then applicable Interest Rate (the "Adjusted Rate"); provided, however, such Adjusted Rate shall never exceed the maximum rate allowable by law. Immediately upon a Determination of Taxability, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Series 2015 Bondholder on demand, the Additional Amount. "Additional Amount" means (i) the difference between (a) interest on the Series 2015 Bond for the period commencing on the date on which the interest on the Series 2015 Bond(or portion thereof) is deemed to have lost its tax-exempt status and ending on the effective date of the adjustment of the Interest Rate to the Adjusted Rate (the "Taxable Period") at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Rate and (b) the aggregate amount of interest paid on the Series 2015 Bond during the Taxable Period at the Interest Rate applicable to the Series 2015 Bond prior to the adjustment to the Adjusted Rate, plus (ii) any penalties, fines, fees, costs and interest paid or payable by the Series 2015 Bondholder to the Internal Revenue Service by reason of such Determination 7 1 , of Taxability. This provision shall survive the repayment of the Series 2015 Bond until such time as the federal statute of limitations under which the interest on the Series 2015 Bond could be declared taxable under the Internal Revenue Code has expired.

For all purposes of this definition, a Determination of Taxability will be deemed to occur on the date as of which the interest on the Series 2015 Bond is deemed includable in the gross income of the Series 2015 Bondholder. A Determination of Taxability shall not occur solely in the event such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of the alternative minimum income tax imposed on corporations.

The Purchaser shall give the Issuer notice of any such adjustment. If any payment of principal or interest with respect to the Series 2015 Bond is not paid within 15 days of the respective due date, the Purchaser may impose a late fee equal to four percent(4%)of the delinquent amount.

' Merrill Lynch '?3 Exhibit A The[Bonds, Notes, Certificates, Borrower Note-*conform to defined terms] may be[prepaid, redeemed - *Use Applicable Language]in whole, or in part, on[any date-*Use for Fixed Rate Transactions][at the ] end of any Interest Rate Period-*Use For Variable Rate Transactions],with three(3)days prior written notice to the[Bondholder, Noteholder, Certificate Holder, Bank, Lender-*conform to defined terms]by payment in an amount equal to the principal amount to be[prepaid/redeemed-*Use Applicable Language]plus accrued interest thereon to the date of[prepayment/redemption-*Use Applicable Language]plus the Prepayment Fee. For purposes hereof, the Prepayment Fee will be the sum of fees calculated separately for each Prepaid Installment,as follows: (i) The Bank will first determine the amount of interest which would have accrued each month at the Taxable Equivalent Rate for the Prepaid Installment had it remained outstanding until the applicable Original Payment Date, using the interest rate applicable to the Prepaid Installment under this Agreement. (ii) The Bank will then subtract from each monthly interest amount determined in(i), above, the amount of interest which would accrue for that Prepaid Installment if it were reinvested from the date .;j of prepayment or redemption through the Original Payment Date, using the Treasury Rate. (iii) If(i)minus(ii)for the Prepaid Installment is greater than zero,the Bank will discount the monthly differences to the date of prepayment or redemption by the Treasury Rate. The Bank will then add together all of the discounted monthly differences for the Prepaid Installment. The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the Prepayment Fee: (i) "Original Payment Dates"mean the dates on which the prepaid or redeemed principal would have been paid if there had been no prepayment or redemption. If any of the principal would have been paid later than the end of the fixed rate interest period in effect at the time of prepayment or redemption, then the Original Payment Date for that amount will be the last day of the interest period. (ii) "Prepaid Installment"means the amount of the prepaid or redeemed principal which would have been paid on a single Original Payment Date. (iii) "Taxable Equivalent Rate"means the interest rate per annum derived from the following formula: [interest rate on the Bond, Note, Certificate, Borrower Note-*Use Applicable Term]divided by the difference of(1 minus the Maximum Corporate Income Tax Rate). The"Maximum Corporate Income Tax Rate"is the highest marginal federal income tax rate charged to U.S.corporations in effect at the time of the prepayment calculation. The"Maximum Corporate Income Tax Rate"is currently 35%(or 0.35 in numerical terms). (iv) "Treasury Rate" means the yield on the Treasury Constant Maturity Series with maturity equal to { the Original Payment Date of the Prepaid Installment which are principal payments (calculated as of the l [date of redemption/prepayment -*Use Applicable Language] in accordance with accepted financial practice and rounded to the nearest quarter-year), as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15, Selected Interest Rates of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor publication. If no maturity exactly corresponding to such Original Payment Date appears in Release H.15, the Treasury Rate will be determined by linear interpolation between the yields reported in Release H.15. If for any reason Release H.15 is no longer published, the [Bondholder, Noteholder, Certificate Holder, Bank, Lender, *conform to defined terms] shall select a comparable publication to determine the Treasury Rate.

Collier Water-Sewer District (the "District"), a dependent special district of the State of Florida, has requested Bank of America,N.A., a national bank(the "Lender")to make a loan (the "Loan")to the District in the principal amount of not less than$17,634,000.00 and not more than $17,734,000.00 (the "Amount"). The Loan will be made on September 30, 2015 (the "Closing Date"), will bear interest calculated on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of twelve thirty day months, payable in arrears on January 1, 2016 and each January 1 and July 1 thereafter, will be repaid in installments of principal due on July 1 of the years and in the amounts set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (subject to adjustment as herein provided), and will mature on July 1,2022(the"Maturity Date").The amortization schedule attached as Exhibit A provides for the amortization of$17,734,000.00, and in the event the Amount of the Loan is less than $17,734,000.00 (but not less than $17,634,000.00), the District may reduce the scheduled amortization shown on Exhibit A in any year or years in an aggregate amount not in excess of the difference between $17,734,000.00 and the Amount of the Loan.The Loan will be issued as an "Additional Bond" pursuant to the District's Resolution CWS-85-S (the "Bond Resolution")of the District,adopted July 30, 1985,as the same has been supplemented, amended and restated through the date hereof, and shall have such other terms and conditions as set forth in the Summary of Terms and Conditions of the Lender, dated August 31, 2015 (the "Terms Sheet")attached hereto as Exhibit B as the same may be modified hereby. 2. The District desires to obtain the agreement of the Lender that the Loan will bear an interest rate locked in by the Lender at this time. In response to the District's request,the Lender has agreed to lock in a fixed rate(the"Rate")for the Loan of 1.75%per annum. 3. The District understands that, if the Loan is not funded in the Amount and by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date(such funding and delivery being referred to herein as the "Closing"), the Lender may suffer breakage costs and other losses, expenses and liabilities, including lost revenue and lost profits, as a result of having locked in the interest rate in advance. Accordingly, in consideration of the Lender's agreement to lock in the Rate,the District agrees to pay to the Lender a breakage fee (the "Breakage Fee") as provided herein in the event the Closing does not occur on the Closing Date for any reason other than the Lender's refusal to fund the Loan pursuant to and in breach of the terms and conditions set forth in the Terms Sheet. Once the Closing occurs on the Closing Date,this Agreement will terminate. 4. The Breakage Fee will be determined on the assumption that the Loan fully funded on the Closing Date and was then immediately prepaid by the District in full,and as follows: (i) The Lender will first determine the amount of interest which would have accrued as of each scheduled payment date for each Prepaid Installment (hereinafter defined) had it remained outstanding from the Closing Date until the Original Payment Date(hereinafter defined)using an interest rate equal to the Rate. (ii) The Lender will then subtract from each interest amount determined in (i), above, the amount of interest which would have accrued on each respective Prepaid Installment as of each scheduled payment date if it were reinvested from Closing Date through the Original Payment Date,using the Swap Rate as of the Closing Date. (iii) If(i)minus(ii)for a Prepaid Installment is greater than zero,the Lender will discount the periodic differences to the Closing Date using the Swap Rate as the discount rate.The sum of the discounted periodic differences for each Prepaid Installment will be the Breakage Fee. The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the Breakage Fee: (i) "Original Payment Date"means the dates on which principal is required to be paid as set forth on Exhibit A. (ii) "Prepaid Installment" means any amount of principal that is paid prior to its Original Payment Date. (iii) "Swap Rate" means the fixed rate for an interest rate swap with a floating rate of three month Libor and having a term of 57 months as reported on a commercially reasonable source selected by the Lender at or most recently prior to 5:00 p.m.Eastern Time on the applicable date. If no term exactly corresponding to 57 months is reported,the Swap Rate will be determined by linear interpolation between the reported terms that are the closest shorter and longer terms reported. 5. The District agrees that the Breakage Fee represents a reasonable estimate of the breakage costs and other losses, expenses and liabilities, including lost revenue and lost profits, that the Lender may suffer if the Closing does not occur in the Amount on the Closing Date.The District agrees that the Lender's willingness to lock in the Rate in advance of the Closing Date is sufficient consideration for the District's agreement to pay the Breakage Fee. Any Breakage Fee will be due and payable in full on the day immediately following the Closing Date. 6. This Agreement is dated September 2, 2015 and shall be governed by Florida law. Any amount due under this Agreement which is not paid upon demand by the Lender shall bear interest until paid at the Rate plus five percentage points. The parties hereby waive trial by jury in any dispute between the parties concerning this Agreement. The prevailing party in any litigation(including any appeal) will be entitled to its reasonable attorneys' fees, including the allocated cost of in-house counsel. 7.To secure the obligations of the District to the Lender hereunder,the District grants to the Lender a lien upon and security interest in the Gross Revenues, as defined in the Bond Resolution, provided that such lien and pledge is subordinate in all respects to the lien on and pledge of Pledged Funds given to secure Bonds and Subordinated Indebtedness as such terms are defmed in and as provided in the Bond Resolution.The obligations of the District to the Lender hereunder are subject to the ratification of this agreement by the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County,ex-officio as the governing body of the District, by resolution duly adopted on or before September 22,2015,and if not so ratified then this agreement shall be null and void after September 22,2015. 8.The addresses of the Lender and District are set forth below.
