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,
1 1G
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
1 1G
f!,
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. (A) The
Issuer hereby authorizes the advance refunding of the Refunded Bonds for the purpose of
achieving net present value debt service savings. Prior to the issuance of the Series 2015
Bond, the Chairman shall determine, in his sole discretion and upon the advice of the
Issuer's financial advisor, Public Financial Management, Inc. (the "Financial Advisor")
and the Issuer's Bond Counsel, Nabors, Giblin &Nickerson, P.A. (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.

(B) The Issuer hereby confirms its prior acceptance of the Proposal of the
Purchaser, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
SECTION 5. AUTHORIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE
SERIES 2015 BOND. The Issuer hereby authorizes the issuance of a Series of Bonds in
the principal amount of not exceeding $18,000,000 to be known as the "Collier County
Water-Sewer District Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bond, Series 2015" (or such
other designation as the Chairman may determine), for the principal purpose of
refunding, on an advance basis, the Refunded Bonds. 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. The Series 2015 Bond shall be on parity in all
respects and shall rank equally as to lien on and source and security for payment from the
Pledged Funds with the Outstanding Parity Obligations.
The Series 2015 Bond shall be dated as of its date of issuance, or such other date
as the Chairman may determine, shall be issued in the form of one fully registered Bond
in the denomination of its outstanding principal amount and shall be numbered "R-l."
The Series 2015 Bond shall bear interest from its dated date at a fixed interest rate of
1.75% per annum (the "Interest Rate"). The Interest Rate is subject to adjustment as
provided in Sections 12 and 13 hereof. The Interest Rate shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the Series 2015 Bond
shall be payable semi-annually, on January 1 and July 1 of each year (the "Interest
Payment Dates"), commencing on January 1, 2016. The Series 2015 Bond shall be
issued as a single Term Bond with a final maturity of July 1, 2022 and shall be subject to
mandatory sinking fund redemption in such Sinking Fund Installments commencing on
July 1, 2017 and on each July 1 thereafter through the maturity date of the Series 2015
Bond, determined by the Chairman, upon the advice of the Issuer's Financial Advisor,
and approved by the Purchaser prior to the issuance of the Series 2015 Bond. The Series
2015 Bond shall be sold on a negotiated basis to the Purchaser at a purchase price equal
to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The Purchaser shall provide the
Issuer with an executed Disclosure Letter and Truth-in-Bonding Statement as required by
Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, prior to the issuance of the Series 2015 Bond. The
Interest Rate on the Series 2015 Bond shall comply in all respects with Section 215.84,
Florida Statutes. For purposes of the Resolution, "Bond Year" shall mean the period
commencing on July 1 of each year and continuing through the next succeeding June 30.
The Series 2015 Bond shall be payable as to principal and interest by bank wire
transfer or direct debit of a deposit account of the Issuer or in such other manner as is
agreed to between the Issuer and the holder of the Series 2015 Bond in whose name the
Series 2015 Bond shall be registered on the registration books maintained by the Issuer as
of the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a business day) of the
calendar month next preceding an Interest Payment Date; provided, that the registered
4
1 1 G
owner of the Series 2015 Bond shall present and surrender the Series 2015 Bond to the
Issuer for the final payment of the principal of the Series 2015 Bond or shall provide
evidence that such Series 2015 Bond has been cancelled. Principal of and interest on the
Series 2015 Bond shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of
America, which at the time of payment, are legal tender for the payment of public and
private debts. The Series 2015 Bond shall be substantially in the form set forth in Section
2.10 of the Resolution, with such changes, amendments, modifications, omissions and
additions as may be approved by the Chairman. Execution of the Series 2015 Bond by
the Chairman shall be conclusive evidence of approval of any such changes.
SECTION 6. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS. (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(1) 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 defmitions 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
1 1G
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.
(B) A sufficient amount of the Series 2015 Bond proceeds shall be applied to
the payment of costs and expenses relating to the issuance of the Series 2015 Bond.
SECTION 8. TRANSFER OF CERTAIN MONEYS. 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.

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 10
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.
(B) For purposes of this Section 12, the term Determination of Taxability shall
have the meaning ascribed thereto as follows:
"Determination of Taxability" shall mean the circumstance of interest paid or
payable on the Series 2015 Bond becoming includable for federal income tax purposes in
the gross income of the Series 2015 Bondholder as a consequence of any act or omission
of the Issuer. 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.
SECTION 13. DEFAULT. After the occurrence of an Event of Default
under Section 7.01 of the Resolution or if any of the Outstanding Bonds are downgraded
below Baa3BBB-BBB- (or the equivalent) by any of Moody's Investors Service,
Standard & Poor's Ratings Service or Fitch Ratings, respectively, notwithstanding any
other terms hereof or of the Resolution, the Purchaser may adjust the Interest Rate to the
maximum rate allowed under applicable law until such Event of Default is cured or until
no such rating is below Baa3/BBB-/BBB- (or the equivalent). 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.
SECTION 14. REPORTING FINANCIAL INFORMATION. As soon as
available, but not later than 270 days following the end of each Fiscal Year, the Issuer
shall provide the Purchaser with the Issuer's annual audited financial statements. The
Issuer shall provide the Purchaser with its annual budget within 30 days of adoption and
shall provide the Purchaser with other information relating to the Series 2015 Bond or the
security with respect thereto upon reasonable request.
SECTION 15. TRANSFER. The Holder of the Series 2015 Bond may sell,
transfer or assign the Series 2015 Bond in whole only in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.08 of the Resolution to an "accredited investor" under Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a "qualified institutional
buyer" under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;
provided, however, the Holder of the Series 2015 Bond may transfer the Series 2015
Bond to an affiliate of the Holder without restriction. The Series 2015 Bondholder shall
8
1 1G
notify the Issuer and the Clerk of any sale, transfer or assignment of the Series 2015
Bond.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may sell participations in the Series
2015 Bond to any number of Participants as long as the Purchaser complies with all
applicable securities laws.
SECTION 16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; APPLICABLE LAW AND
JURISDICTION. (A) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer, knowingly,
voluntarily and intentionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of
any litigation based on, or arising out of, under or in connection with the Resolution, the
Series 2015 Bond or any agreement contemplated to be executed in connection with the
Resolution, or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or
written) or actions of the Issuer or the Purchaser.

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
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
:j 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
[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.

Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C attached hereto. If the Escrow Securities

accountants, of recognized standing, appointed by the District and
acceptable to the Escrow Agent,to the effect that after such reinvestment or
substitution the principal amount of Escrow Securities, together with the
interest therein and any uninvested cash, will be sufficient to pay the
Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C hereto; and
(b) a written opinion of nationally recognized Bond Counsel to the effect that
(i) such investment will not cause the Series 2015 Bonds or the Refunded
Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the

thereunder or otherwise cause the interest on the Refunded Bonds or the
Series 2015 Bonds to be included as gross income for purposes of federal

protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith in
accordance herewith. Prior to retaining such independent counsel, the Escrow Agent
shall notify the District of its intention.
The Escrow Agent and its successors, agents and servants shall not be held to any
personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or otherwise, by reason of the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the establishment of the Escrow Fund, the acceptance
and disposition of the various moneys and funds described herein, the purchase, retention
or payment, transfer or other application of funds or securities by the Escrow Agent in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any non-negligent act, omission or
error of the Escrow Agent made in good faith in the conduct of its duties. The Escrow
Agent shall, however, be liable to the District and to holders of the Refunded Bonds to
the extent of their respective damages for negligent or willful acts, omissions or errors of
the Escrow Agent which violate or fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The
duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be determined by the express provisions
of this Agreement.
SECTION 15. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF ESCROW AGENT.
As soon as practicable after the first day of January and July of each year, commencing
January 1, 2016, so long as the Escrow Fund is maintained under this Agreement, the
Escrow Agent shall forward in writing to the District a statement in detail of the Escrow
Securities held as of January 1 and July 1 of that year, whichever is applicable, and the
income and maturities thereof, and withdrawals of money from the Escrow Fund, since
the last statement furnished pursuant to this Section 15.
SECTION 16. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT.
The Escrow Agent, at the time acting hereunder, may at any time resign and be
discharged from the duties and obligations hereby created by giving not less than 60 days'
written notice to the District and mailing notice thereof, specifying the date when such
resignation will take effect to the holders of all Refunded Bonds then outstanding, but no
such resignation shall take effect unless a successor Escrow Agent shall have been
appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded
Bonds then outstanding or by the District as hereinafter provided and such successor
Escrow Agent shall have accepted such appointment, in which event such resignation
shall take effect immediately upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow
Agent.
7
11G
The Escrow Agent may be replaced at any time by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing, delivered to the Escrow Agent and signed by either the District or
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then
outstanding. Such instrument shall provide for the appointment of a successor Escrow
Agent, which appointment shall occur simultaneously with the removal of the Escrow
Agent.
In the event the Escrow Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be
dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become
incapable of acting hereunder, or in case the Escrow Agent shall be taken under the
control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor
may be appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Refunded Bonds then outstanding by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing,
signed by such holders, or by their attorneys in fact, duly authorized in writing; provided,
nevertheless, that in any such event, the District shall appoint a temporary Escrow Agent
to fill such vacancy until a successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed by the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding in the
mariner above provided, and any such temporary Escrow Agent so appointed by the
District shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the Escrow Agent so
appointed by such holders. The District shall mail notice of any such appointment made
by it at the times and in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 16.
In the event that no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or a temporary
successor Escrow Agent shall have been made by such holders or the District pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 16 within 60 days after written notice of
resignation of the Escrow Agent has been given to the District, the holder of any of the
Refunded Bonds or any retiring Escrow Agent may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, and such court may
thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it shall deem proper, appoint a successor Escrow
Agent.
In the event of replacement or resignation of the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent
shall have no further liability hereunder and the District shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Escrow Agent, to the extent allowed by law, from any such liability,
including reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent or its counsel.
No successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed unless such successor Escrow
Agent shall be a corporation with trust powers organized under the banking laws of the
United States or any State, and shall have at the time of appointment capital and surplus
of not less than$30,000,000.
Every successor Escrow Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to its predecessor and to the District an instrument in writing accepting such
appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor Escrow Agent, without any further
8
1 1G
act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, immunities,
powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall
nevertheless, on the written request of such successor Escrow Agent or the District
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Escrow Agent all the
estates, properties, rights, powers and trust of such predecessor hereunder; and every
predecessor Escrow Agent shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it to its
successor; provided, however, that before any such delivery is required to be made, all
fees, advances and expenses of the retiring or removed Escrow Agent shall be paid in
full. Should any transfer, assignment or instrument in writing from the District be
required by any successor Escrow Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in such
successor Escrow Agent the estates, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended
to be vested in the predecessor Escrow Agent, any such transfer, assignment and
instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
District.
Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent, or any successor to it in the trusts
created by this Agreement, may be merged or converted or with which it or any successor
to it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion,
consolidation or tax-free reorganization to which the Escrow Agent or any successor to it
shall be a party shall be the successor Escrow Agent under this Agreement without the
execution or filing of any paper or any other act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
SECTION 17. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement
shall terminate when all transfers and payments required to be made by the Escrow Agent
under the provisions hereof shall have been made. Upon such termination, all moneys
remaining in the Escrow Fund shall be released to the District.
SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by
the applicable laws of the State of Florida. Any action or proceeding, in law or equity,
arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or the obligations hereunder shall
be in Collier County, Florida.
SECTION 19. SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the covenants or
agreements provided in this Agreement on the part of the District or the Escrow Agent to
be performed should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to
law, such covenant or agreement shall be deemed and construed to be severable from the
remaining covenants and agreements herein contained and shall in no way affect the
validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 20. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, all or any of which shall be regarded for all purposes as one original
and shall constitute and be but one and the same instrument.

COPY OF RATE LOCK AGREEMENT

Rate Lock Agreement
1. 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-85-5 (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.
11G
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
defined 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.
