amount not to exceed $5,500,000. In connection therewith, we are pleased to submit our proposal to
provide the credit accommodations (the "Credit Accommodations") described on the attached preliminary
term sheet(s)for your consideration.
The structure of the proposed Credit Accommodation(s) is outlined in the attached Term Sheet

Accommodation. PLEASE NOTE, ALTHOUGH THE TERM SHEET HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE
APPROPRIATE CREDIT AUTHORITIES AT THE BANK, THIS PROPOSAL IS SUBJECT TO FORMAL
CREDIT REVIEW AND UNDERWRITING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BANK'S INTERNAL POLICY
AND NOTHING HEREIN SHALL CONSTITUTE A BINDING COMMITMENT TO LEND. The Bank shall
not be liable to the Agency or any other person for any losses, damages or consequential damages which
may result from the Company's reliance upon this proposal letter or the proposed Credit
Accommodations, the proposed term sheet(s) or any transaction contemplated hereby.
This letter, along with the proposed terms and conditions, are delivered to the Agency and the
Collier County for its confidential use and evaluation, and shall not be disclosed by the Agency and
County except (i) as may be required to be disclosed in any legal proceeding or as may otherwise be

(a) Borrower(s): Collier County Community Redevelopment Agency("Agency")
(b) Guarantor: N/A
(c) Facility: Taxable Term Loan.
(d) Purpose: The proposed Series 2017 Note will be used to: (1) refund all of the
Agency's outstanding Collier County Community Redevelopment
Agency Taxable Note (Fifth Third Bank), Series 2013 (the "Series 2013
Note") which will be outstanding in the amount of $5,211,805 as of the
expected closing of the Series 2017 Note.
(e) Amount: Up to$5,500,000
(f) Collateral: The principal of and interest on the Series 2017 Note will be secured by
and payable from Pledged Funds which shall include (1) the increment
tax revenues delivered within the Bayshore/Gateway Triangle
Redevelopment Area (the "Increment Tax Revenues"), and (2) to the
extent the Increment Tax Revenues are insufficient to pay annual debt
service, the CRA covenants to appropriate in its annual budget, by
amendment if necessary, from its other Non-Ad Valorem Revenues
lawfully available in each fiscal year, amounts which shall be sufficient to
pay the annual debt service on the note.
(g) Maturity: March 1st, 2027
(h) Repayment Terms: Interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Series
2017 Note will be calculated on a 30/360-day basis and will be paid
monthly on the 1st of each month, beginning April 1, 2017.
The principal amount of the Term Loan will be payable monthly on the
1st of each month beginning April 1, 2017, through the final maturity of
the Series 2017 Note.
i Interest Rate: Indicative Taxable Fixed Rate is 3.13%.
The quoted indicative fixed rate of interest is based upon the greater of
(ten (10) year H-15 Swap Rate) plus 91 basis points, or (ten (10) year
Treasury Rate) plus 80 basis points as publicized the Intercontinental
1/19/2017

Exchange (ICE) for the Swap Index and by the Federal Reserve for the
Treasury Index as of January 17, 2019:
Federal Reserve: http://www.federalreserve.qov/release/h15/update/
ICE: https://www.theice.com/iba/historical-data
RATE HOLD OPTION: TD Bank has the ability to hold the loan
interest rate for the Agency until the proposed Closing Date of March
2nd 2017 as requested under the RFQ. At the time that the Bank is
informed that it will be recommended for the award of the Loan Facility,
the Bank would lock-in the Loan Interest Rate for the Agency for a small
premium. Based on current market rates, the premium for a 30-day and
45-Day Rate Lock is 2 basis points and 3 basis points, respectively.
(j) Prepayment Premium: Loan will be subject to the Bank's Prepayment Fee Language:
At the time of any full or partial prepayment, a fee equal to the greater of

"Remaining Term", shall be subtracted from the Note rate, or default rate
if applicable. If the result is zero or a negative number, there shall be no
Yield Maintenance Fee due and payable. If the result is a positive
number, then the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the
scheduled outstanding principal balance for each remaining monthly
period of the "Remaining Term." Each resulting amount shall be divided
by 360 and multiplied by the number of days in the monthly period. Said
amounts shall be reduced to present values calculated by using the
above reference current costs of funds divided by 12. The resulting sum
of present values shall be the yield maintenance fee due to the Bank
upon prepayment of the principal of the loan plus any accrued interest
due as of the prepayment date.
"Remaining Term" as used herein shall mean the shorter of (i) the
remaining term of this Note, or(ii) the remaining term of the then current
fixed interest rate period.
No Prepayment Fee Option: The School can elect to have a "No
Prepayment Fee" provision associated with this Term Loan by adding a
premium of 23 basis points to the proposed Loan Rate.
(k) Late Charge: If any payment due the Bank is more than fifteen (15) days overdue,
a late charge of six percent(6%)of the overdue payment shall be
assessed.
(I) Events of Default: Will include but not be limited to:

agreement, instrument or commitment to which the Agency is a party or by which the
Agency is bound.
(C) The Agency is duly authorized and entitled to issue the Series 2017 Note
and enter this Agreement and, when issued in accordance with the terms of the
Resolution and this Agreement, the Series 2017 Note and the Agreement will each
constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Agency enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability to bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally, or
by the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity.
(D) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge
of the Agency, threatened against or affecting the Agency, at law or in equity, or before
or by any governmental authority, that, if adversely determined, would materially impair
the ability of the Agency to perform the Agency's obligations under this Agreement or
under the Series 2017 Note.
(E) As of the date hereof, no outstanding indebtedness of the Agency exists
other than the Prior Loan and any interest accrued thereon.
SECTION 2.02. GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
COVENANTS OF THE BANK. The Bank hereby represents, warrants and agrees that
it is a national banking association authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement and
to perform its obligations hereunder, and such execution and delivery will not constitute a
6
violation of its charter, articles of association or bylaws. Pursuant to the terms and
provisions of this Agreement, the Bank agrees to provide the loan evidenced by the
Series 2017 Note to the Agency for the purpose of refinancing the Prior Loan.
SECTION 2.03. SERIES 2017 NOTE NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF
THE AGENCY, COUNTY OR STATE. The Series 2017 Note, when delivered by the
Agency pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall not be or constitute an
indebtedness of the Agency, the County, the State of Florida or any political subdivision
or agency thereof, within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter
limitations of indebtedness, but shall be secured solely by and payable from the Pledged
Funds, as herein provided. The Bank shall never have the right to compel the exercise of
the ad valorem taxing power of the Agency or the County, or taxation in any form on any
property therein to pay the Series 2017 Note or the interest thereon. The Series 2017
Note is a special and limited obligation payable as to principal and interest secured solely
by and payable from the Pledged Funds.
SECTION 2.04. SECURITY. The Series 2017 Note shall be secured by and
payable from the Pledged Funds. The Agency does hereby irrevocably pledge and grant
a lien on the Increment Tax Revenues and a pledge of the Pledged Funds to the payment

insufficient to pay Annual Debt Service on the Series 2017 Note for any Fiscal Year, the

sufficient to pay the Annual Debt Service on the Series 2017 Note and/or to replenish the
Debt Service Reserve Fund to the extent of any deficiency therein. Such covenant and
agreement on the part of the Agency to budget and appropriate such amounts of Non-Ad
Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until
such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available funds in amounts sufficient to
make all such required payments and replenishments shall have been budgeted,
appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the Agency,
the Agency does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or
maintained by the Agency, which generate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues.
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge
of such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the Agency from pledging in
the future its Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the Agency to levy and
collect any particular Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. Such covenant to budget and
appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the payment of
obligations secured by a pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or
hereafter entered into (including the payment of debt service on other debt instruments).
7
However, the covenant to budget and appropriate in its annual budget for the purposes
and in the manner stated herein shall have the effect of making available for the payment
of debt service on the Series 2017 Note and the replenishment of the Debt Service
Reserve Fund in the manner described herein and in the Resolution Non-Ad Valorem
Revenues and placing on the Agency a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by
amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 2.06. PAYMENT COVENANT. The Agency covenants that it
shall duly and punctually pay from the Pledged Funds the principal of and interest on the
Series 2017 Note at the dates and place and in the manner provided herein and in the
Series 2017 Note according to the true intent and meaning thereof and all other amounts
due under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.07. NO IMPAIRMENT; RECEIPT OF INCREMENT TAX

herein shall not be subject to repeal, modification or impairment by any subsequent
ordinance, resolution, agreement or other proceedings of the Agency or the County. The
Agency covenants to do all things necessary or required on its part by the Act, or other
applicable provisions of the law, to maintain the levy, collection and receipt of the
Increment Tax Revenues. The Agency shall exercise all legally available remedies to
enforce such levy, collection and receipt now or hereafter available under law. The
Agency agrees not to cause or allow the boundaries of the Community Redevelopment
Area to be decreased or the Agency to cease to exist without the prior written consent of
the Bank.
SECTION 2.08. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL INDEBTEDNESS. No
additional Agency Debt may be issued that is payable on a senior basis to the Series 2017
Note without the prior written consent of the Bank. No additional Agency Debt payable
on parity with the Series 2017 Note shall be issued except upon the conditions and in the
manner herein provided. No such parity Agency Debt shall be issued unless the
following conditions are complied with:
(A) The Secretary shall certify that the amount of Increment Tax Revenues plus
Non-Ad Valorem Revenues plus Transfers In minus Operating Expenses for the Fiscal
Year immediately preceding the issuance of said additional Agency Debt were equal to at
least 150% of the Maximum Annual Debt Service of the Series 2017 Note, any other
outstanding parity Agency Debt and the additional Agency Debt then proposed to be
issued.
(B) For the purpose of determining the Maximum Annual Debt Service under
this Section 2.08, the interest rate on additional Agency Debt that is proposed to be issued
as variable rate Agency Debt shall be deemed to be the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index
most recently published prior to the sale date of such additional Agency Debt.
8
(C) For the purpose of determining the Maximum Annual Debt Service under
this Section 2.08, the interest rate on outstanding variable rate Agency Debt shall be
deemed to be (i) if such variable rate Agency Debt has been outstanding for at least
12 months prior to the date of sale of such additional Agency Debt, the highest of(a) the
actual rate of interest borne by such variable rate Agency Debt on the date of sale, and
(b) the average interest rate borne by such variable rate Agency Debt during the 12-
month period preceding the date of sale, or (ii) if such variable rate Agency Debt has not
been outstanding for at least 12 months prior to the date of sale of such variable rate
Agency Debt, the higher of (a) the actual rate of interest borne by the variable rate
Agency Debt on the date of sale, and (b) the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index most
recently published prior to the sale of such variable rate Agency Debt.
(D) In the event any additional Agency Debt is issued for the purpose of
refunding any parity Agency Debt then outstanding, the conditions of Section 2.08(A)
shall not apply, provided that the issuance of such additional Agency Debt shall result in
a reduction of the Annual Debt Service in each year.
SECTION 2.09. DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO. The Agency
agrees to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.15, so long as the Series 2017
Note is outstanding hereunder.
SECTION 2.10. DEBT SERVICE RESERVE FUND. The Agency shall
establish and maintain with the Bank so long as the Series 2017 Note is outstanding a
separate fund to be known as the "Debt Service Reserve Fund — Series 2017 Note."
Moneys on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be used only to pay the
Annual Debt Service on the Series 2017 Note to the extent the other Pledged Funds are
insufficient therefor.
Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.10, moneys in the Debt Service
Reserve Fund are required to be maintained in an amount equal to the Reserve
Requirement. The investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be valued at their
market value annually as of September 30 of each Fiscal Year. If at the time of any
valuation the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund is less than the
Reserve Requirement as a result of a decline in the market value of investments in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Agency shall deposit to the Debt Service Reserve Fund
from the Pledged Funds the amount necessary to restore the amount on deposit in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund to the Reserve Requirement within 120 days following the
date on which the Agency determines such deficiency. If the amount on deposit in the
Debt Service Reserve Fund is less than the Reserve Requirement as a result of the Debt
Service Reserve Fund having been drawn upon to pay any principal or interest on the
Series 2017 Note, the Agency shall deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund the amount
which was withdrawn within three (3) months.
9
SECTION 2.11. PROVISION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION. The
Agency will furnish to the Bank a copy of the Annual Audit, including financial
information concerning the Agency, and all standard statements for a Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report, prepared by a certified public accountant acceptable to the
Bank, within 210 days of the close of each Fiscal Year, which report shall show the
Increment Tax Revenues collected and Non-Ad Valorem Revenues for such Fiscal Year;
provided, however, if such Annual Audit is not complete within 210 days of the close of
any Fiscal Year, it will not be considered a breach of this covenant if the Agency shall
furnish the Bank a copy of its unaudited financial statements for such Fiscal Year within
210 days of the close of the Fiscal Year. The Agency shall provide the Bank with a copy
of the annual budget of the Agency each year within 30 days of the final adoption of such
budget. The Agency shall also provide the Bank with the most recent taxable assessed
value for the Community Redevelopment Area within 210 days of the close of each
Fiscal Year.
