refund the Series 2005 Gas Tax Revenue Bonds in order to achieve debt service savings and
approve all necessary documents and action.

accepting the proposal of STI Institutional & Government, Inc. (A SunTrust Company) to
refinance the Collier County Florida Gas Tax Revenue Bond, Series 2005 through the issuance of
a refunding bond in an amount up to $90,000,000. This proposed refunding will achieve a gross
debt service savings of up to $11,075,000. Since the Board action, the County's Bond Counsel
has prepared the enabling documents necessary to complete the refunding and close on the Series

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. It is hereby found and determined that:
(A) On February 25, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board")
of Collier County, Florida (the "Issuer") duly adopted Resolution No. 2003-89, as
amended and supplemented (as supplemented hereby, the "Resolution"), authorizing,
among other things, the issuance of the Collier County, Florida Gas Tax Revenue Bonds,
Series 2003 (the "Series 2003 Bonds"), which Series 2003 Bonds were issued for the
principal purpose of financing a portion of the costs of certain transportation-related
capital improvements and to current refund the Issuer's Collier County, Florida Road
Improvement Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1995.
(B) On June 29, 2005, the Issuer issued its Collier County, Florida Gas Tax
Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 (the "Series 2005 Bonds") pursuant to the Resolution for the
1
Packet Page-1695-
5/13/2014 16.F.5.
principal purpose of financing a portion of the costs of certain transportation-related
capital improvements.
(C) On June 5, 2012, the Issuer issued its Collier County, Florida Gas Tax
Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2012 (the "Series 2012 Bonds"), which Series 2012
Bonds refunded a portion of the then outstanding Series 2003 Bonds.
(D) The Resolution provides for the issuance of Additional Bonds upon
meeting the requirements set forth herein and in the Resolution.
(E) The Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to refund a portion of the
outstanding Series 2005 Bonds (the "Refunded Bonds"), the specific maturities and
portions thereof to be refunded to be determined by the Chairman upon the advice of the
Issuer's financial advisor, Public Financial Management, Inc. (the "Financial Advisor"),
in order to achieve debt service savings.
(F) In order to refund the Refunded Bonds, the Issuer hereby determines to
issue its Collier County, Florida Gas Tax Refunding Revenue Bond, Series 2014 (the
"Series 2014 Bond") pursuant to the Resolution, which Series 2014 Bond shall be issued
on parity with any portion of the Series 2005 Bonds that are not refunded in connection
with the issuance of the Series 2014 Bond (the "Unrefunded Series 2005 Bonds" and,
together with the outstanding Series 2012 Bonds, the "Outstanding Parity Obligations"),
except as otherwise provided herein or in the Resolution, in accordance with the terms of
the Resolution.
(G) 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 2014 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).
(H) On April 22, 2014, the Board accepted the proposal of STI Institutional &
Government, Inc. (including any successors thereof, the "Purchaser") for the purchase of
the Series 2014 Bond (the "Proposal").
(I) Due to the potential volatility of the market for tax-exempt obligations such
as the Series 2014 Bond and the complexity of the transactions relating to such Series
2014 Bond, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to sell the Series 2014 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 2014 Bond.

5/13/2014 16.F.5.
(J) 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
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.
(K) The Resolution provides that the Series 2014 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 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.
(L) The Series 2014 Bond shall not constitute a general obligation or pledge of
the faith, credit or taxing power of the Issuer, the State of Florida, or any political
subdivision thereof, or indebtedness 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 a pledge of the Pledged Funds in accordance with the
terms of the Resolution. Neither the Issuer, the State of Florida, nor any political
subdivision thereof shall be obligated (i) to exercise its ad valorem taxing power in any
form on any real or personal property of or in the Issuer to pay the principal of the Series
2014 Bond, the interest thereon, or other costs incidental thereto, or (ii) to pay the same
from any other funds of the Issuer except from the Pledged Funds, in the manner
provided in the Resolution.
(M) The covenants, pledges and conditions in the Resolution shall be applicable
to the Series 2014 Bond herein authorized and said Series 2014 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 Obligations and any
Additional Bonds (as defined in the Resolution) hereafter issued, except that any Bond
(as defined in the Resolution) may be separately secured by a subaccount within the
Reserve Account (as defined in the Resolution), 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.

Packet Page-1697-
5/13/2014 16.F.5.
the Refunded Bonds for the purpose of achieving debt service savings. The Chairman,
upon the advice of the Financial Advisor, shall determine which maturities and portions
of the Series 2005 Bonds shall be refunded.
SECTION 5. AUTHORIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE
SERIES 2014 BOND. The Issuer hereby authorizes the issuance of a Series of Bonds in
the principal amount of not exceeding $90,000,000 to be known as the "Collier County,
Florida Gas Tax Refunding Revenue Bond, Series 2014" (or such other designation as the
Chairman may determine), for the principal purpose of refunding, on an advance basis,
the Refunded Bonds. The principal amount of the Series 2014 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 the amount
provided above. The Series 2014 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 and any Additional Bonds hereafter issued, except
that any Bond may be separately secured by a subaccount within the Reserve Account.
The Series 2014 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-1."
The Series 2014 Bond shall bear interest from its dated date at a fixed interest rate of
2.33% per annum (the "Interest Rate"). The Interest Rate shall be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Interest Rate is subject to
adjustment in accordance with Sections 11 and 12 hereof. Interest on the Series 2014
Bond shall be payable semi-annually, on December 1 and June 1 of each year (the
"Interest Payment Dates"), commencing on December 1, 2014. The Series 2014 Bond
shall be issued as a single Term Bond with a final maturity of June 1, 2025 and shall be
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption in such Amortization Installments
commencing on June 1, 2015 and on each June 1 thereafter through the maturity date of
the Series 2014 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 2014
Bond. Such Amortization Installments shall be set forth in the Series 2014 Bond. The
Series 2014 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 2014
Bond. The Interest Rate on the Series 2014 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 June 2 of each year and continuing through the next
succeeding June 1.
The Series 2014 Bond shall be payable as to principal and interest by ACH direct
debit or bank wire transfer or in such other manner as is agreed to between the Issuer and
4
Packet Page -1698-
5/13/2014 16.F.S.
the holder of the Series 2014 Bond in whose name the Series 2014 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 owner of the Series 2014 Bond
shall only be required to present and surrender the Series 2014 Bond to the Issuer for the
final payment of the principal of the Series 2014 Bond or shall otherwise provide
evidence that such Series 2014 Bond has been cancelled. Principal of and interest on the
Series 2014 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.
SECTION 6. REDEMPTION PROVISIONS FOR SERIES 2014
BOND. The Series 2014 Bond may be redeemed in whole, or in part, on any Business
Day with two (2) Business Days' prior written notice to the Purchaser by payment of an
amount equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the
date of redemption plus the Redemption Premium, as defined below.
For purposes of the foregoing, the term "Redemption Premium" shall mean the
present value of the difference between (i) the amount that would have been realized by
the Purchaser on the redeemed amount for the remaining term of the Series 2014 Bond at
the Federal Reserve H.15 Statistical Release rate for fixed-rate payers in interest rate
swaps for a term corresponding to the term of the Series 2014 Bond, interpolated to the
nearest month, if necessary, that was in effect three Business Days prior to the issuance
date of the Series 2014 Bond, and (ii) the amount that would be realized by the Purchaser
by reinvesting such redeemed funds for the remaining term of the Series 2014 Bond at
the Federal Reserve H.15 Statistical Release rate for fixed-rate payers in interest rate
swaps, interpolated to the nearest month, that was in effect three Business Days prior to
the redemption date; both discounted at the same interest rate utilized in determining the
applicable amount in (ii). Should such present value have no value or a negative value,
the Issuer may redeem the Series 2014 Bond with no additional fee or Redemption
Premium. Should the Federal Reserve no longer release rates for fixed-rate payers in
interest rate swaps, the Purchaser may substitute the Federal Reserve H.15 Statistical
Release with another similar index. The Purchaser shall provide the Issuer with a written
statement explaining the calculation of the premium due, which statement shall, in
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding. The application of such
Redemption Premium is not intended to, and shall not be deemed to be, an increase in the
Interest Rate on the Series 2014 Bond.
Principal redemptions shall be applied to the Series 2014 Bond in inverse order of
the remaining Amortization Installments.

interest on the Refunded Bonds as the same mature and become due and payable or are

(B) A sufficient amount of the Series 2014 Bond proceeds shall be applied to
the payment of costs and expenses relating to the issuance of the Series 2014 Bond.
SECTION 8. TRANSFER OF CERTAIN MONEYS. The Refunded

Escrow Deposit Agreement shall be in substantially the form of the Escrow Deposit
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A with such changes, amendments, modifications,
omissions and additions, including the date of such Escrow Deposit Agreement, as may
be approved by said Chairman. Execution by the Chairman of the Escrow Deposit
Agreement shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of approval of such changes.
SECTION 11. ADJUSTMENT TO INTEREST RATE. (A) Upon the
occurrence of a Determination of Taxability (as defined below) and for as long as the
Series 2014 Bond remains Outstanding, the Interest Rate on the Series 2014 Bond shall
be converted to the Taxable Rate (as defined below) and this adjustment shall survive
payment on the Series 2014 Bond until such time as the federal statute of limitations
under which the interest on the Series 2014 Bond could be declared taxable under the
Code shall have expired. In addition, upon a Determination of Taxability, the Issuer
shall, immediately upon demand, pay to the Purchaser (i) an additional amount equal to

Packet Page-1700-
5/13/2014 16.F.5.
the difference between (a) the amount of interest actually paid on the Series 2014 Bond
during the Taxable Period (as defined below) and (b) the amount of interest that would
have been paid during the Taxable Period had the Series 2014 Bond borne interest at the
Taxable Rate, and (ii) an amount equal to any interest, penalties on overdue interest and
additions to tax (as referred to in Subchapter A of Chapter 68 of the Code) owed by the
Purchaser as a result of the Determination of Taxability.
(B) If the Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate (as defined below) as
applicable to the Purchaser decreases from 35%, the Purchaser shall have the option to
increase the Interest Rate otherwise borne by the Series 2014 Bond to a rate equal to the
product obtained by multiplying the Interest Rate otherwise borne by the Series 2014
Bond by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to one (1) minus the Maximum
Federal Corporate Tax Rate on the date of calculation and the denominator of which is
0.65; provided, however, the Interest Rate for the Series 2014 Bond shall never be
adjusted to a rate greater than 2.69% per annum as a result of a change in the Maximum
Federal Corporate Tax Rate; provided, however, the Interest Rate may increase multiple
times as a result of multiple decreases in the Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate as of
the effective date of each such decrease in the Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate.
(C) For purposes of this Section 11, the following terms shall have the
definitions ascribed thereto:
"Determination of Taxability" means a final decree or judgment of any Federal
court or a final action of the Internal Revenue Service determining that interest paid or
payable on all or a portion of the Series 2014 Bond is or was includable in the gross
income of the Purchaser for Federal income tax purposes; provided, that no such decree,
judgment, or action will be considered final for this purpose, however, unless the Issuer
has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is legally allowed, has been
afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the
Purchaser, and until the conclusion of any appellate review, if sought. A Determination
of Taxability shall not include and is not triggered by a change in law by Congress that
causes the interest to be includable in the Purchaser's gross income.
"Taxable Period" shall mean the period of time between (i) the date that interest on
the Series 2014 Bond is deemed to be includable in the gross income of the Purchaser for
federal income tax purposes as a result of a Determination of Taxability, and (ii) the date
of the Determination of Taxability and after which the Series 2014 Bond bears interest at
the Taxable Rate.
"Taxable Rate" shall mean the interest rate per annum that shall provide the
Purchaser with the same after tax yield that the Purchaser would have otherwise received
had the Determination of Taxability not occurred, taking into account the increased
taxable income of the Purchaser as a result of such Determination of Taxability. The
7
Packet Page -1701-
5/13/2014 16.F.5.
Purchaser shall provide the Issuer with a written statement explaining the calculation of
the Taxable Rate, which statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on the Issuer.
"Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate" shall mean the maximum rate of income
taxation imposed on corporations pursuant to Section 11(b) of the Code, determined
without regard to tax rate or tax benefit make-up provisions such as the last two sentences
of Section 11(b)(1) of the Code, as in effect from time to time (or, if as a result of a
change in the Code the rate of income taxation imposed on corporations shall not be
applicable to the Purchaser, the maximum statutory rate of federal income taxation which
could apply to the Purchaser). The Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate on the date of
execution of this Supplemental Resolution is 35%.
SECTION 12. DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence of an Event of
Default under Section 6.01 of the Resolution or a material breach or default of any
covenant, warranty or agreement herein, notwithstanding any other tun's hereof or of the
Resolution, the Series 2014 Bond shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined
below) until such Event of Default is cured. Noncompliance with the provisions of
Section 14 hereof shall be considered a material breach for purposes of this Section 12.
Within 5 days of its actual knowledge, the Issuer shall notify the Purchaser of the
occurrence of any Event of Default or a material breach or default of any covenant,
warranty or agreement herein.
For purposes of this Section 12, "Default Rate" means the lesser of (i) 18% per
annum and (ii) the maximum lawful rate.
SECTION 13. RESERVE ACCOUNT. Pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.05(A)(4) of the Resolution, the Issuer hereby establishes a separate subaccount
in the Reserve Account for the Series 2014 Bond which shall be designated as the "Series
2014 Subaccount" of the Reserve Account. The Reserve Account Requirement with
respect to the Series 2014 Subaccount and the Series 2014 Bond shall be zero dollars and
zero cents ($0.00). The Series 2014 Subaccount shall solely secure the Series 2014 Bond
and the Series 2014 Bond shall not be secured by any other portion of the Reserve
Account or any other subaccount therein.
SECTION 14. REPORTING FINANCIAL INFORMATION. A copy of
the audited financial statements for each Fiscal Year shall be made available to the
Purchaser within 270 days after the end of each Fiscal Year. A copy of the annual budget
for each Fiscal Year will be provided to the Purchaser within 30 days of final approval.
The Issuer shall also provide the Purchaser with any other items reasonably requested by
the Purchaser.

be available to the Escrow Agent in amounts sufficient and at the times required to pay the
amounts of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest due and to become due
on the Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C attached hereto. If the Escrow
Securities and the Cash Deposit shall be insufficient to make such payments, the County
shall timely deposit to the Escrow Fund, solely from legally available funds of the County,
such additional amounts as may be required to pay the Refunded Bonds as described in
Schedule C hereto. Notice of any insufficiency shall be given by the Escrow Agent to the
County as promptly as possible, but the Escrow Agent shall in no manner be responsible
for the County's failure to make such deposits.
SECTION 7. ESCROW SECURITIES AND THE CASH DEPOSIT IN
TRUST FOR HOLDERS OF REFUNDED BONDS. The deposit of the Escrow
Securities and the Cash Deposit in the Escrow Fund shall constitute an irrevocable deposit
of Refunding Securities (as defined in the Resolution) and cash in trust solely for the
payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded
Bonds at such times and in such amounts as set forth in Schedule C hereto, and the
principal of and interest earnings on such Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit shall be
used solely for such purpose.

ESCROW FUND. The County hereby directs, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees, that
it will take all actions required to be taken by it under the provisions of the Resolution
referenced in this Agreement, including the timely transfer of money to the Paying Agent
for the Refunded Bonds (U.S. Bank National Association) as provided in the Resolution, in
order to effectuate this Agreement and to pay the Refunded Bonds in the amounts and at
the times provided in Schedule C hereto. The Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit
shall be used to pay the principal of redemption premium, if any, and interest on the

3
Packet Page-1708-
5/13/2014 16.F.5.
day on which either the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds or the Escrow Agent is not
open for the acceptance or delivery of funds,then the Escrow Agent may make payment on
the next business day. The liability of the Escrow Agent for the payment of the principal
of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds pursuant to this
Agreement shall be limited to the application of the Escrow Securities and the Cash
Deposit and the interest earnings thereon available for such purposes in the Escrow Fund.

ESCROW FUND. Moneys deposited in the Escrow Fund shall be invested only in the
Escrow Securities listed in Schedule B hereto and the Cash Deposit and,except as provided
in Section 5 hereof and this Section 9, neither the County nor the Escrow Agent shall
otherwise invest or reinvest any moneys in the Escrow Fund.

not sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Escrow Securities or the Cash Deposit in
the Escrow Fund and reinvest the proceeds thereof in other securities nor may it substitute
securities for any of the Escrow Securities, except upon written direction of the County and

the County the following:
(a) a written verification report by a firm of independent certified public
accountants, of recognized standing,appointed by the County 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,
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 2014 Bond or the Refunded Bonds
to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal
Revenue Code, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder or
otherwise cause the interest on the Refunded Bonds or the Series 2014 Bond
to be included as gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, and
(ii) such investment does not violate any provision of Florida law or of the
Resolution.
The above-described verification report need not be provided in the event the County
purchases Escrow Securities with the proceeds of maturing Escrow Securities and such

removed Escrow Agent shall be paid in full. Should any transfer, assignment or
instrument in writing from the County be required by any successor Escrow Agent for
