PFM Financial Advisors LLC (PFM) is working alongside County officials and the financing team to assist the County in the acquisition of the System. One component of that acquisition is the refinancing of the System's outstanding public debt under the umbrella of the County's Water-Sewer District. In addition to the proposed refinancing, the County will also pay off the System's privately-placed loans with existing cash on hand. In order to access the capital markets for this refinancing, PFM has determined that a privately-placed bond offering, as opposed to a public bond offering, would serve to implement the plan of finance in the most effective manner. This determination is based on the desire to expedite the refinancing in order to capture current market conditions as well as lock the rate as soon as possible, minimize the administrative requirements compared to a public offering, and reduce the costs of issuance compared to a public offering. PFM worked with the County to draft the Request for Quote ("RFQ") for the Series 2018 Bond prior to its release on November 15th. PFM then emailed the RFQ to a broad pool of financing entities that we know to be active in the municipal space. The size of the loan (up to approximately $43 million) and average life (approximately 6.7 years) are generally consistent with parameters typically seen in bank bonds, and such parameters would attract interest from the bank lending community and yield the County with a favorable result. It should also be noted that proposers were not permitted to quote an amount that is less than the full par amount, since we would expect that most capable institutions would be able to finance the amount requested. On December 6th, four (4) quotes were submitted. A summary of the proposing firms, along with the key points from each proposal are included as an attachment to this memorandum. After review of the bank offers and discussion among the County's finance team, STI Institutional & Government, Inc.'s ("SunTrust") proposal was considered the most attractive. At first glance, the proposed interest rate is higher than a few of the other proposals. However, the proposals that provide a lower interest rate are also subject to adjustment based on the proposed lowering of the United States corporate tax rate, which at this point has become a near certainty. When those adjustments are considered, SunTrust provides the lowest rate. SunTrust also provides the ability to fix the rate for an additional six basis points, which will provide certainty to the County as they progress through the acquisition. Finally, the County's legal team has reviewed the terms in the SunTrust proposal and, after clarifying a couple of minor items, is satisfied that they are consistent with the existing terms and covenants in the County's prior bond resolution. Based on the quoted rate of 2.35%, plus the lock feature (locking the rate to February 28, 2018), the plan of finance is expected to produce net present value savings of 9.94%. The actual cash flow savings will materialize over a number of years, and include periods of dis-savings that are a result of shortening the final maturity on the GGUA's debt obligations in order to be consistent with the existing term on the County's own obligations. Overall the refinancing will produce a net positive cash flow to the County of$7.176 million. 2018 Collier County W&S Financing f m December 12, 2017 Page 2 of 2 The schedule below shows the County's expected annual debt service savings/dis-savings upon completing the 2018 financing: Present Value Prior Debt Refunding Debt to 02/28/2018 Date Service Service Savings @ 2.4102617% 07/01/2018 1,796,581 2,084,573 (287,991) (285,643) 07/01/2019 2,520,363 3,402,307 (881,945) (851,198) 07/01/2020 2,519,863 3,402,539 (882,677) (831,715) 07/01/2021 2,516,563 3,401,325 (884,763) (813,739) 07/01/2022 2,524,163 3,408,665 (884,503) (794,158) 07/01/2023 2,522,163 4,569,318 (2,047,156) (1,798,331) 07/01/2024 2,522,163 4,570,449 (2,048,286) (1,756,579) 07/01/2025 2,518,913 4,569,290 (2,050,377) (1,716,607) 07/01/2026 2,521,013 4,565,841 (2,044,829) (1,671,151) 07/01/2027 2,521,763 4,570,103 (2,048,341) (1,634,124) 07/01/2028 2,521,163 4,571,835 (2,050,672) (1,596,987) 07/01/2029 2,522,256 3,231,036 (708,779) (536,316) 07/01/2030 2,766,788 2,766,788 2,062,384 07/01/2031 2,764,713 2,764,713 2,011,781 07/01/2032 2,768,225 2,768,225 1,966,361 07/01/2033 2,766,225 2,766,225 1,918,000 07/01/2034 2,771,325 2,771,325 1,875,736 07/01/2035 2,765,325 2,765,325 1,826,929 07/01/2036 1,477,325 1,477,325 953,333 07/01/2037 1,480,175 1,480,175 932,322 07/01/2038 1,479,450 1,479,450 909,561 07/01/2039 1,480,150 1,480,150 888,198 07/01/2040 1,477,000 1,477,000 865,068 Tota I 53,523,663 46,347,279 7,176,384 1,923,127 The current timeline calls for board approval on January 23rd, with a closing on February 28t • This would ensure that funds are ready and available for the acquisition event, which is set to occur March 1st.

(g) Maturi : July 1, 2029. (h) Repayment Terms: Interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan will be calculated on a 30/360-day basis and will be paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1, of each year, beginning July 1, 2018. The principal amount of the Term Loan will be payable annually on July 1 of each year beginning July 1, 2018, through the final maturity of the Series 2018 Bond. (i) Interest Rate: NON-BANK QUALIFIED INDICATIVE FIXED RATE Indicative Fixed Rate for the Loan Term duration is 2.28% as of 12/04/17. The final loan rate to be set prior to closing, upon Borrower's request, shall be based upon the following same formula that was used to calculate the quoted indicative fixed rate: (69.25% of the prevailing ten (10)year USD 1100 ICE Swap Rate) plus 62 basis points, as publicized by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE): https://www.theice.com/i ba/historical-data 4 RATE HOLD: Bank will re-calculate and hold the loan rate of interest until closing date, for up to Ninety(90)days from the date that Borrower formally requests Bank to hold and lock in the Loan Rate. (i) Prepayment Premium: The Loan will be subject to the Bank's standard prepayment penalty language which reads as follows: At the time of any full or partial prepayment, a fee equal to the greater of (i) 1.00% of the principal balance being prepaid multiplied by the "Remaining Term," as hereinafter defined, in years or (ii) a "Yield Maintenance Fee"in an amount computed as follows: The current cost of funds, specifically the bond equivalent yield for United States Treasury securities (bills on a discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent yield) with a maturity date closest to the "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 amount being prepaid times the number of days in the "Remaining Term" and divided by 360.
