Agenda 06/22/2010 Item #16F 1 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 1 of 154 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to adopt the authorizing Bond Resolution which provides for the issuance of longer term, fixed-rate Bonds to refinance all of the County's outstanding loans under the Florida Local Government Finance Commission's Pooled Commercial Paper Loan Program (the "Commercial Paper Loan Program") pursuant to Board direction under Agenda Item lOB on April 27, 2010. OBJECTIVE: To authorize the issuance of the County's Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 (the "Bonds") in order to refinance all of the County's outstanding loans under the Commercial Paper Loan Program. The Bonds are expected to be sold competitively to the bidder that provides the lowest borrowing cost to the County on or about July 13,2010. CONSIDERATIONS: On April 27, 2010, the Board directed the County Manager, County Attorney and our respective financial and legal advisors to proceed with the preparation of all necessary documents required to refinance $59,893,000 in outstanding loans under the Commercial Paper Loan Program through the issuance of longer term, tax exempt fixed rate bonds. The bond resolution authorizes the issuance of up to $62,500,000 ofthe Bonds in order to accomplish such refinancing. This not to exceed issuance amount provides potential bidders with sufficient flexibility to structure the bonds with discount or premium bonds to attract a wider investor base, thereby enabling the bidder to offer the County the lowest borrowing cost available at the time competitive bids are received. The Bond Resolution also approves various documents and instruments that must be prepared and disseminated in order to accomplish the refinancing. Affirmative action by the Board will set in motion the competitive bond sale process which will result in the sale of the Bonds on or about July 13,2010 and culminate in closing on the bonds on or about July 22, 2010. FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that refinancing the twelve outstanding commercial paper loans through the issuance of traditional tax exempt fixed rate bonds will result in an estimated debt service savings of$4,929,300 in fiscal year 2011. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board action. -JAK RECOMMENDATION: To adopt the authorizing Bond Resolution and approve all related documents and instruments required to refinance the County's outstanding loans under the Florida Local Government Finance Commission's Pooled Commercial Paper Loan Program.

Upon (A) receipt by the Issuer of written notice from DTC (i) to the effect that a continuation of the requirement that all of the Outstanding Bonds be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, is not in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Bonds or (ii) to the effect that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of DTC hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable and customary tenns, or (B) determination by the Issuer that such book-entry only system is burdensome or undesirable to the Issuer and compliance by the Issuer of all applicable policies and 15 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22. 2010 Page 21 of 154 procedures of DTC regarding discontinuance of the book entry registration system, the Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names Holders shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.

BONDS NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF ISSUER. The Bonds shall not be or constitute general obligations or indebtedness of the Issuer as "bonds" within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, but shall be special obligations of the Issuer, payable solely from amounts budgeted and appropriated by the Issuer from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. No Holder of any Bond shall ever have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing power to pay such Bond, or be entitled to payment of such Bond from any moneys of the Issuer except from the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in the manner and to the extent provided herein. SECTION 4.02. COVENANT TO BUDGET AND APPROPRIATE; PAYMENT OF BONDS. The Issuer covenants and agrees to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to (A) pay principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the Rebate Fund pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Issuer 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 shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the Issuer, the Issuer does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the Issuer, 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 Issuer from pledging in the future its Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the Issuer to levy and collect any particular Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Bondholders a prior claim on the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the Issuer. Such covenant to 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 bonds and other debt instruments). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate for the purposes and in the manner stated herein shall have the effect of making available for the payment of the Bonds, in the manner described herein, Non-Ad Valorem Revenues and placing on the Issuer a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder; subject, however, in all respects to the restrictions of Section 129.07, Florida Statutes, which generally provide that the governing body of each county may only make appropriations for each fiscal year which, in anyone year, shall not exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other 27 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 33 of 154 revenue sources; and subject, further, to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the Issuer or which are legally mandated by applicable law. The Issuer covenants and agrees to transfer to the Paying Agent for the Bonds, solely from funds budgeted and appropriated as described in this Section 4.02, at least one business day prior to the date designated for payment of any principal of or interest on the Bonds, sufficient moneys to pay such principal or interest. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall utilize such moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds when due. SECTION 4.03. REBATE FUND. The Issuer covenants and agrees to establish a special fund to be known as the "Collier County, Florida Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 Rebate Fund," which shall be held in trust by the Issuer and used solely to make required rebates to the United States (except to the extent the same may be used to pay debt service on the Bonds) and the Bondholders shall have no right to have the same applied for debt service on the Bonds. The Issuer agrees to undertake all actions required of it in its arbitrage certificate relating to the Bonds, including, but not limited to: (A) making a detennination in accordance with the Code of the amount required to be deposited in the Rebate Fund; (B) depositing the amount determined In clause (A) above into the Rebate Fund; (C) paying on the dates and in the manner required by the Code to the United States Treasury from the Rebate Fund and any other legally available moneys of the Issuer such amounts as shall be required by the Code to be rebated to the United States Treasury; and (D) keeping such records of the determinations made pursuant to this Section 4.03 as shall be required by the Code, as well as evidence of the fair market value of any investments purchased with proceeds of the Bonds. The provisions of the above-described arbitrage certificates may be amended without the consent of any Holder or the Insurer, if any, from time to time as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, to comply with the provisions of the Code. SECTION 4.04. ANTI-DILUTION. During such time as any Bonds are Outstanding hereunder, the Issuer agrees and covenants with the Bondholders and the Insurer, if any, that (I) Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall cover projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt by at least 1.5x; and (2) projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Bonds and maximum 28 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 34 of 154 annual debt service for all Debt will not exceed 20% of the aggregate of General Fund Revenues, MSTD Revenues and Impact Fee Proceeds exclusive of (a) ad valorem tax revenues restricted to payment of debt service on any Debt and (b) any proceeds of the Bonds or Debt. The calculations required by clauses (1) and (2) above shall be determined using the average of actual revenues for the prior two Fiscal Years based on the Issuer's Annual Audits. For the purposes of the covenants contained in this Section 4.04, maximum armual debt service on Debt means, with respect to Debt that bears interest at a fixed interest rate, the actual maximum armua1 debt service, and, with respect to Debt which bears interest at a variable interest rate, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming that interest accrues on such Debt at the current "Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index" as published in The Bond Buver no more than two weeks prior to any such calculation; provided, however, if any Debt, whether bearing interest at a fixed or variable interest rate, constitutes Balloon Indebtedness, as defined in the immediately following sentence, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be detennined assuming such Debt is amortized over 20 years on an approximately level debt service basis. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "Balloon Indebtedness" means Debt, 25% or more of the original principal of which matures during anyone Fiscal Year. In addition, with respect to debt service on any Debt which is subject to a Qualified Hedge Agreement, interest on such Debt during the term of such Qualified Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to be the Hedge Payments coming due during such period of time.

Each Annual Audit shall be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied to governmental entities. The Issuer shall provide the Annual Audit to any Holder or Holders of Bonds upon written request. The Issuer shall be pennitted to make a reasonable charge for furnishing such information to such Holder or Holders. SECTION 5.04. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION COVENANTS. The Issuer covenants with the Holders of the Bonds that it shall not use the proceeds of the Bonds in any manner which would cause the interest on such Bonds to be or become included in gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. The Issuer covenants with the Holders of the Bonds that neither the Issuer nor any Person under its control or direction will make any use of the proceeds of the Bonds (or amounts deemed to be proceeds under the Code) in any manner which would cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of the Code and neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall do any act or fail to do any act which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to inclusion within gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. 30 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 36 of 154 The Issuer hereby covenants with the Holders of the Bonds that it will comply with all provisions of the Code necessary to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation, including, in particular, the payment of any amount required to be rebated to the U. S. Treasury pursuant to the Code. [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] 31 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 37 of 154 ARTICLE VI DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES SECTION 6.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

Subject in all respects to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.01 hereof, so long as the Bond Insurance Policy issued by Assured Guaranty is in full force and effect and Assured Guaranty has not defaulted in its payment obligations under the Bond Insurance Policy, the Issuer agrees to comply with the following provisions: (A) If, on the third business day prior to the related scheduled interest payment date or principal payment date ("Payment Date") there is not on deposit with the Issuer, after making all transfers and deposits required under the Resolution, moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds due on such Payment Date, the Issuer shall give notice to Assured Guaranty and to its designated agent (if any) (the "Insurer's Fiscal Agent") by telephone or telecopy of the amount of such deficiency by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such business day. If, on the second business day prior to the related Payment Date, there continues to be a deficiency in the amount available to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds due on such Payment Date, the Issuer shall notifY the Paying Agent and cause the Paying Agent to make a claim under the Bond Insurance Policy and give notice to Assured Guaranty and the Insurer's Fiscal Agent (if any) by telephone of the amount of such deficiency, and the allocation of such deficiency between the amount required to pay interest on the Bonds and the amount required to pay principal of the Bonds, confirmed in writing to Assured Guaranty and the Insurer's Fiscal 41 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 47 of 154 Agent by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on such second business day by filling in the form of Notice of Claim and Certificate delivered with the Bond Insurance Policy.

(C) The Paying Agent shall keep a complete and accurate record of all funds deposited by Assured Guaranty into the hereinafter defined Policy Payments Account and the allocation of such funds to payment of interest on and principal of any Bond.

The Paying Agent shall receive any amount paid under the Bond Insurance Policy in trust on behalf of the Bondholders and shall deposit any such amount in the Policy Payments Account and distribute such amount only for purposes of making the payments for which a claim was made. Such amounts shall be disbursed by the Paying Agent to Bondholders in the same manner as principal and interest payments are to be made with respect to the Bonds under the provisions hereof regarding payment of Bonds.

One fully-registered Series 2010 Bond will be used for each maturity of the Series 2010 Bonds, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTe. SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE SERIES 2010 BONDS, AS NOMINEE OF DTC, CERTAIN REFERENCES IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE SERIES 2010 BONDHOLDERS OR REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010 BONDS WILL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND WILL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010 BONDS. THE DESCRIPTION WHICH FOLLOWS OF THE PROCEDURES AND RECORD KEEPING WITH RESPECT TO BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2010 BONDS, PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL ON THE SER[ES 2010 BONDS TO DIRECT PARTICIPANTS (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010 BONDS, CONFIRMATION AND TRANSFER OF BENEF[CIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2010 BONDS, AND OTHER RELATED TRANSACTIONS BY AND BETWEEN DrC, THE DIRECT PARTICIPANTS AND BENEF[CIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010 BONDS [5 BASED SOLELY ON INFORMATION FURNISHED BY DTe. ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE COUNTY NOR THE UNDERWRITER MAKES NOR CAN MAKE ANY REPRESENTAT[ONS CONCERNING THESE MATTERS. DTC, the world's largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17 A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of US. and non-US. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants (the "Direct Participants") deposit with DTe. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-US. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC"). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is 125694/001(00435889. DOC v3J 3 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 98 of 154 also available to others such as both U.s. and non-U.S. securities brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants"). DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org. Purchases of Series 2010 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for such Series 2010 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2010 Bond (the "Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2010 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of the Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Series 2010 Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2010 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2010 Bonds deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Series 2010 Bonds with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Series 2010 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2010 Bonds are credited, which mayor may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping an account of their holdings on behalf of their customers. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements made among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Series 2010 Bonds are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such bonds to be redeemed. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Series 2010 Bonds unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the County as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Series 2010 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Series 2010 Bonds will be made to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts, upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the County or the Paying Agent and Registrar on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the 125694/001/00435889.DOCv31 4 Agenda Item No. 16F 1 June 22, 2010 Page 99 of 154 accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the Paying Agent or the County, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the County and/or the Paying Agent for the Series 2010 Bonds. Disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners is the responsibility of the Direct and Indirect Participants. DTe may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series 2010 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, Series 2010 Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Series 2010 Bond certificates will be printed and delivered and be subject to transfer and registration as provided in the Resolution and as described below under the subheading" - Interchangeability, Negotiability and Transfer" which immediately follows. Interchangeability, Negotiability and Transfer So long as the Series 2010 Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the following paragraphs relating to transfer and exchange of Series 2010 Bonds do not apply to the Series 2010 Bonds to the extent of a conflict with the DTC book-entry system. Series 2010 Bonds, upon surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, may, at the option of the Holder thereof, be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of registered Series 2010 Bonds of the same maturity of any other authorized denominations. The Series 2010 Bonds issued under the Resolution shall be and have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the law merchant and the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Florida, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the Resolution and in the Series 2010 Bonds. So long as any of the Series 2010 Bonds shall remain outstanding, the County shall maintain and keep, at the office of the Registrar, books for the registration and transfer of the Series 2010 Bonds. Each Series 2010 Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, at the office of the Registrar, under such reasonable regulations as the County may prescribe, by the Holder thereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender thereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed and guaranteed by the Holder or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the transfer of any such Series 2010 Bond, the County shall issue, and cause to be authenticated, in the name of the transferee a new Series 2010 Bond or Series 2010 Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity as the surrendered Series 201 0 Bond. The County, the Registrar and any Paying Agent or fiduciary of the County may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Outstanding Series 2010 Bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute owner of such Series 2010 Bond, whether such Series 2010 Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest on such Series 2010 Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any such Holder or 125694/001/00435889.DOCv31 5 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 100 of 154 upon his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Series 2010 Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid and neither the County nor the Registrar nor any Paying Agent or other fiduciary of the County shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Registrar, in any case where it is not also the Paying Agent in respect to any Series 2010 Bonds, forthwith (A) following the fifteenth day prior to an Interest Date for the Series 2010 Bonds; (B) following the fifteenth day next preceding the date of first mailing of notice of redemption of any Series 2010 Bonds; and (C) at any other time as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent of such Series 2010 Bonds, shall certify and furnish to such Paying Agent the names, addresses and holdings of Series 2010 Bondholders and any other relevant information reflected in the registration books. Any Paying Agent of any fully registered Series 2010 Bond shall effect payment of interest on such Series 2010 Bonds by mailing a check to the Holder entitled thereto or may, in lieu thereof, upon the request and expense of such Holder, transmit such payment by bank wire transfer for the account of such Holder. In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging or transferring Series 2010 Bonds is exercised, the County shall execute and deliver Series 2010 Bonds and the Registrar shall authenticate such Series 2010 Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution. Execution of Series 2010 Bonds by the Chairman and Clerk for purposes of exchanging, replacing or transferring Series 2010 Bonds may occur at the time of the original delivery of the Series 2010 Bonds. All Series 2010 Bonds surrendered in any such exchanges or transfers shall be held by the Registrar in safekeeping until directed by the County to be cancelled by the Registrar. For every such exchange or registration of transfer of Series 2010 Bonds, the County or the Registrar may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee, expense or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The County and the Registrar shall not be obligated to make any such exchange or transfer of Series 2010 Bonds during the fifteen (15) days next preceding an Interest Date on the Series 2010 Bonds, or, in the case of any proposed redemption of the Series 2010 Bonds then, for the Series 2010 Bonds called for redemption, during the fifteen (15) days next preceding the date of the first mailing of notice of such redemption and continuing until such redemption date. Series 2010 Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost So long as the Series 2010 Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the following paragraphs relating to mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Series 2010 Bonds do not apply to the Series 2010 Bonds to the extent of a conflict with the DTC book-cntry system. In case any Series 2010 Bond shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the County may, in its discretion, issue and deliver, and the Registrar shall authenticate, a new Series 2010 Bond of like tenor as the Series 2010 Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Series 2010 Bond upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Series 2010 Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Series 2010 Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon the Series 2010 Bondholder furnishing the County and the Registrar proof of his ownership thereof and satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the County or the Registrar may prescribe and paying such expenses as the County and the Registrar may incur. All Series 2010 Bonds so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Registrar. If any of the Series 2010 Bonds shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Series 2010 Bond, the County may pay the same or cause the Series 2010 Bond to be paid, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Series 201 0 Bonds be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof. {25694/001/00435889.DOCv3} 6 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 101 of 154 Any such duplicate Series 2010 Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution shall constitute original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the County whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Series 2010 Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Series 2010 Bond shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights to the same extent as all other Series 2010 Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution. Optional Redemption The Series 2010 Bonds maturing after 1, ~ are subject to redemption in whole or in part, at any time, on or after 1, ---' in such order of maturities as may be determined by the County (less than all of a single maturity to be selected by lot), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2010 Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Mandatory Redemption The Series 2010 Bonds maturing on 1, ~ are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, prior to maturity in part, by lot on 1, ~ at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of such Series 2010 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date of redemption, on 1 in the following years and in the following Amortization 1nstallments: Year Amortization Installments 'Final Maturity Notice of Redemption Notice of such redemption, which shall specify the Series 2010 Bond or the Series 2010 Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed and the date and place for redemption, shall be given by the Registrar on behalf of the County, and (A) shall be filed with the Paying Agent of such Series 2010 Bonds, (B) shall be mailed first class, postage prepaid, not less than 30 days nor more than 45 days prior to the redemption date to all Holders of the Series 2010 Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as they appear on the registration books kept by the Registrar as of the date of mailing of such notice, and (C) shall be mailed, certified mail, postage prepaid, at least 35 days prior to the redemption date to the registered securities depositories and two or more nationally recognized municipal bond information services as hereinafter provided. Failure to mail such notice to such depositories or services or the Holders of the Series 2010 Bonds to be redeemed, or any defect therein, shall not affect the proceedings for redemption of the Series 2010 Bonds as to which no such failure or defect has occurred. Such notice shall also be mailed to the Insurer, if any, of such redeemed Series 201 0 Bonds. Failure of any Holder to receive any notice mailed as provided in the Resolution shall not affect the proceedings for redemption of such Holder's Series 2010 Bonds. Each notice of redemption shall state: (1) the CUS1P numbers and any other distinguishing number or letter of all the Series 2010 Bonds being redeemed, (2) the original issue date of such Series 2010 Bonds, (3) the maturity date and rate of interest borne by each Series 2010 Bond being redeemed, (4) 125694/001/00435889.DOCv3} 7 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 102 of 154 the redemption date, (5) the Redemption Price, (6) the date on which such notice is mailed, (7) if less than all Outstanding Series 2010 Bonds are to be redeemed, the certificate number (and, in the case of a partial redemption of any Series 2010 Bond, the principal amount) of each Series 2010 Bond to be redeemed, (8) that on such redemption date there shall become due and payable upon each Series 2010 Bond to be redeemed the Redemption Price thereof, or the Redemption Price of the specified portions of the principal thereof in the case of the Series 2010 Bonds to be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, and that from and after such date interest thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable, (9) that the Series 2010 Bonds to be redeemed, whether as a whole or in part, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price at the designated office of the Registrar at an address specified, (10) the name and telephone number of a person designated by the Registrar to be responsible for such redemption, (11) unless sufficient funds have been set aside by the County for such purpose prior to the mailing of the notice of redemption, that such redemption is conditioned upon the deposit of sufficient funds for such purpose on or prior to the date set for redemption, and (12) any other conditions that must be satisfied prior to such redemption. The County may provide that a redemption will be contingent upon the occurrence of certain conditions and that if such conditions do not occur the notice of redemption will be rescinded, provided notice of rescission shall be mailed in the manner described above to all affected Series 2010 Bondholders not later than three business days prior to the date of redemption. SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010 BONDS General The County has covenanted and agreed to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to (A) pay principal of and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the Rebate Fund pursuant to the Resolution. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the County 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 shall have been budgeted, appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the County, the County does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the County, 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 County from pledging in the future its Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the County to levy and collect any particular Non-Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Series 2010 Bondholders a prior claim on the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the County. Such covenant to 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 bonds and other debt instruments). However, the covenant to budget and appropriate for the purposes and in the manner stated in the Resolution shall have the effect of making available for the payment of the Series 201 0 Bonds, in the manner described in the Resolution, Non-Ad Valorem Revenues and placing on the County a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations under the Resolution; subject, however, in all respects to the restrictions of Section 129.07, Florida Statutes, which generally provide that the governing body of each county may only make {25694/00l/00435889.DOCv3} 8 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 103 of 154 appropriations for each fiscal year which, in anyone year, shall not exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other revenue sources; and subject, further, to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County or which are legally mandated by applicable law. The County covenants and agrees to transfer to the Paying Agent for the Series 2010 Bonds, solely from funds budgeted and appropriated as described in the Resolution, at least one business day prior to the date designated for payment of any principal of or interest on the Series 2010 Bonds, sufficient moneys to pay such principal or interest. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall utilize such moneys for payment of the principal and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds when due. THE SERlES 2010 BONDS SHALL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGAT10NS OR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY AS "BONDS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISION, BUT SHALL BE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COUNTY, PLAYABLE SOLELY FROM AMOUNTS BUDGETED AND APPROPRIATED BY THE COUNTY FROM NON-AD VALOREM REVENUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESOLUTION. NO HOLDER OF ANY SERlES 2010 BOND SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF ANY AD VALOREM TAXING POWER TO PAY SUCH SERIES 2010 BOND, OR BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT OF SUCH SER1ES 2010 BOND FROM ANY MONEYS OF THE COUNTY EXCEPT FROM THE NON-AD VALOREM REVENUES IN THE MANNER AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED IN THE RESOLUTION. Anti-Dilution Test During such time as any Series 2010 Bonds are outstanding under the Resolution, the County has agreed and covenanted with the Series 2010 Bondholders and the 1nsurer, if any, that (1) Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall cover projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2010 Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt by at least 1.5x; and (2) projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2010 Bonds and maximum annual debt service for all Debt will not exceed 20% of the aggregate of General Fund Revenues, MSTD General Fund Revenues and Impact Fee Proceeds exclusive of (a) ad valorem tax revenues restricted to payment of debt service on any Debt and (b) any proceeds of the Series 2010 Bonds or Debt. The calculations required by (1) and (2) above shall be determined using the average of actual revenues for the prior two Fiscal Years based on the County's Annual Audits. For the purposes of the covenants contained in the preceding paragraph, maximum annual debt service on Debt means, with respect to Debt that bears interest at a fixed interest rate, the actual maximum annual debt service, and, with respect to Debt which bears interest at a variable interest rate, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming that interest accrues on such Debt at the current "Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index" as published in The B011d Buyer no more than two weeks prior to any such calculation; provided, however, if any Debt, whether bearing interest at a fixed or variable interest rate, constitutes Balloon Indebtedness, as defined below, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming such Debt is amortized over 20 years on an approximately level debt service basis. "Debt" means at any date (without duplication) all of the following to the extent that they are secured by or payable in whole or in part from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues (A) all obligations of the County for borrowed money or evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments; (B) all obligations of the County to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services, except trade accounts payable under normal trade terms and which arise in the ordinary course of business; (C) all obligations of the County as lessee under capitalized leases; and (D) {25694j001/00435889.DOCv31 9 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 104 of 154 all indebtedness of other Persons to the extent guaranteed by, or secured by, Non-Ad Valorem Revenues of the County; provided, however, if with respect to any obligation contemplated in (A), (B), or (C) above, the County has covenanted to budget and appropriate sufficient Non-Ad Valorem Revenues to satisfy such obligation but has not secured such obligation with a lien on or pledge of any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues then, and with respect to any obligation contemplated in (D) above, such obligation shall not be considered "Debt" for purposes of the Resolution unless the County has actually used Non-Ad Valorem Revenues to satisfy such obligation during the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or reasonably expects to use Non-Ad Valorem Revenues to satisfy such obligation in the current or immediately succeeding Fiscal Year. After an obligation is considered "Debt" as a result of the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, it shall continue to be considered "Debt" until the County has not used any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues to satisfy such obligation for two consecutive Fiscal Years. For purposes of this paragraph, "Balloon 1ndebtedness" means Debt, 25% or more of the original principal of which matures during anyone Fiscal Year. In addition, with respect to debt service on any Debt which is subject to a Qualified Hedge Agreement, interest on such Debt during the term of such Qualified Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to be the Hedge Payments coming due during such period of time. Rebate Fund The County has covenanted and agreed to establish a special fund to be known as the Rebate Fund which shall be held in trust by the County and used solely to make required rebates to the United States (except to the extent the same may be used to pay debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds) and the Series 2010 Bondholders shall have no right to have the same applied for debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds. The County agrees to undertake all actions required of it in its arbitrage certificate relating to the Series 2010 Bonds, including, but not limited to: (A) making a determination in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") of the amount required to be deposited in the Rebate Fund; (B) depositing the amount determined in clause (A) above into the Rebate Fund; (C) paying on the dates and in the manner required by the Code to the United States Treasury from the Rebate Fund and any other legally available moneys of the County such amounts as shall be required by the Code to be rebated to the United States Treasury; and (D) keeping such records of the determinations made pursuant to the Resolution as shall be required by the Code, as well as evidence of the fair market value of any investments purchased with proceeds of the Series 2010 Bonds. The provisions of the above-described arbitrage certificates may be amended without the consent of any Holder or the Insurer, from time to time as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, to comply with the provisions of the Code. 125694/001/00435889.DOCv31 10 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 105 of 154 GENERAL INFORMA nON REGARDING NON-AD VALOREM REVENUES General The County generally receives two primary sources of general governmental revenue: ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem revenues. Ad valorem taxes may not be pledged for the payment of debt obligations of the County maturing more than twelve months from the date of issuance thereof without approval of the electorate of the County. The ad valorem tax revenues of the County are not pledged as security for the payment of the Series 2010 Bonds and the County is not obligated to budget and appropriate ad valorem tax revenues for the payment of the Series 2010 Bonds. The County is permitted by the Florida Constitution to levy ad valorem taxes at a rate of up to $10 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for general governmental expenditures. The County's General Fund ad valorem tax millage rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 is $3.5645 per $1,000. The County's Unincorporated Municipal Services Taxing District ("MSTD") General Fund ad valorem tax millage rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 is $.7161 per $1,000. The County is also permitted by the Florida Constitution to levy ad valorem taxes above the $10 per $1,000 limitation to pay debt service on general obligation long-term debt if approved by a voter referendum but does not currently do so. Non-ad valorem revenues of the County may be pledged, subject to certain limitations disclosed herein, for the payment of debt obligations of the County. Such non-ad valorem revenues include a broad category of revenues, including, but not limited to, revenues received from the State, investment income and income produced from certain services and facilities of the County, as described below. Series 2010 Bondholders do not have a lien on any specific non-ad valorem revenues of the County. As more fully described above under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010 BONDS," the County has covenanted and agreed in the Resolution, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, sufficient Non-Ad Valorem Revenues to pay debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds. The holders of the Series 2010 Bonds do not have a lien on any specific Non-Ad Valorem Revenues of the County and the County has outstanding certain other debt obligations payable from a lien upon and pledge of certain of the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues of the County. A large percentage of the revenues of the County, including ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem revenues, are deposited in the General Fund and the Unincorporated Municipal Services Taxing District ("MSTD") General Fund. The General Fund is the largest operating fund of the County. It is used to account for all countywide activities and is supported principally by ad valorem taxes. The MSTD General Fund accounts for municipal type services provided in the unincorporated area of the County and is also supported primarily by ad valorem taxes. See "CERTAIN FINANC1AL MATTERS - General Fund and MSTD General Fund" herein. Furthermore, as described herein under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010 BONDS," the obligation of the County to budget and appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues is subject to a variety of factors, including without limitation the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County or which are mandated by applicable law, and the obligation of the County to have a balanced budget. The term "Non-Ad Valorem Revenues" is defined in the Resolution as all General Fund and MSTD General Fund Revenues, other than revenues generated from ad valorem taxation on real or {25694/00l/00435889.DOCv3} 11 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 106 of 154 personal property, and all Impact Fee Proceeds, but only to the extent they are legally available to make the payments required pursuant to the Resolution. For purposes of the preceding sentence "General Fund Revenues" means total revenues of the County derived from any source whatsoever and that are allocated to and accounted for in the General Fund as shown in the Annual Audit. "MSTD Revenues" means all revenues of the County derived from any source whatsoever and that are allocated to and accounted for in the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund as shown in the Annual Audit. "Impact Fee Proceeds" means the proceeds of certain impact fees levied by the County that are allocated to and accounted for in the Capital Projects Funds as shown in the Annual Audit. Impact Fee Proceeds will only be available to fund growth related capital expansion projects to the specific public facilities for which such impact fees are assessed. See "SECUR1TY FOR THE SERIES 2010 BONDS - General" herein and "APPENDIX B - Form of Resolution" attached hereto. The Florida Department of Financial Services ("FDFS") has developed, as part of the Uniform Accounting System Manual's Chart of Accounts, six major categories of local government revenues: taxes, intergovernmental revenues, licenses, permits and impact fees, charges for services, fines and forfeitures and miscellaneous revenues. Using that organization, the following describes the sources of the County's Non-Ad Valorem Revenues: Taxes Local Communications Services Tax The Communications Services Tax Simplification Act, enacted by Chapter 2000-260, Laws of Florida, as amended by Chapter 2001-140, Laws of Florida, and now codified in part as Chapter 202, Florida Statutes (the "CSTA") established, effective October 1, 2001, a communications services tax on the sale of communications services as defined in Section 202.11, Florida Statutes, and as of the same date repealed Section 166.231(9), Florida Statutes, which previously granted municipalities the authority to levy a utility services tax on the purchase of telecommunications services. Pursuant to Sections 202.19 and 202.20, Florida Statutes any sale of communications services charged to a service address in the County is subject to the County's local communications services tax ("Communications Services Tax") at a rate of 2.10%. The revenues that are received by the County from such Communications Services Tax which derive from the Local Communications Services Tax Clearing Trust Fund (the "Trust Fund") created with the Florida Department of Revenue ("FDOR") pursuant to Section 202.193, Florida Statutes may be pledged for the repayment of current or future bonded indebtedness. The telecommunications tax applies to the purchase of "telecommunications services" which originated or terminated within unincorporated Collier County, with certain exemptions described below. "Telecommunications services" is defined to be local telephone service, toll telephone service, telegram or telegraph service, teletypewriter service, private communication service, cellular mobile telephone or telecommunication service or specialized mobile radio, pagers and paging service, but excludes Internet access service, cable service, electronic mail service, electronic bulletin board service, or similar on-line computer service. One effect of the CSTA was to replace the former telecommunications tax, including pre-paid calling arrangements, as well as any revenues from franchise fees on cable and telecommunications service providers and permit fees relating to placing or maintaining facilities in rights-of-way collected from providers of certain telecommunications services, with the local communications services tax. This change in law was intended to be revenue neutral to the counties and municipalities. The {25694/001/00435889.DOCv31 12 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 107 of 154 Communications Services Tax applies to a broader base of communications services than the former telecommunications tax. "Communication services" under the CST A are defined as the transmission, conveyance, or routing of voice, data, audio, video, or any other information or signals, including cable services, to a point, or between or among points, by or through any electronic, radio, satellite, cable, optical, microwave, or other medium or method now in existence or hereafter devised, regardless of the protocol used for such transmission or conveyance. The term does not include: (a) Information services. (b) Installation or maintenance of wiring or equipment on a customer's premises. (c) The sale or rental of tangible personal property. (d) The sale of advertising, including, but not limited to, directory advertising. (e) Bad check charges. (I) Late payment charges. (g) Billing and collection services. (h) Internet access service, electronic mail service, electronic bulletin board service, or similar on-line services. However, such services have historically been taxed if the charges for such services are not stated separately from the charges for communications services, on a customer's bill. The sale of communications services to (i) the federal government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof, or any entity that is exempt from state taxes under federal law, (ii) the state or any county, municipality or political subdivision of the state when payment is made directly to the dealer by the governmental entity, and (iii) any educational institution (which includes state tax-supported and nonprofit private schools, colleges and universities and nonprofit libraries, art galleries and museums, among others) or religious institutions (which includes, but is not limited to, organizations having an established physical place for worship at which nonprofit religious services and activities are regularly conducted) that is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code are exempt from the Communications Services Tax. The CST A provides that, to the extent that a provider of communications services is required to pay to a local taxing jurisdiction a tax, charge, or other fee under any franchise agreement or ordinance with respect to the services or revenues that are also subject to the Communications Services Tax, such provider is entitled to a credit against the amount of such Communications Services Tax payable to the State in the amount of such tax, charge, or fee with respect to such service or revenues. The amount of such credit is deducted from the amount that such local taxing jurisdiction is entitled to receive under Section 202(18)(3), Florida Statutes. Under the CSTA, local governments must work with the FDOR to properly identify service addresses to each municipality and county. If a jurisdiction fails to provide the FDOR with accurate service address information, the local government risks losing tax proceeds that it should properly receive. The County believes it has provided the FDOR with all information that the FDOR has requested as of the date hereof and that such information is accurate. Providers of communications services collect the Communications Services Tax and may deduct 0.75% as a collection fee (or 0.25% in the case of providers who do not employ an enhanced zip code 125694fOOlf00435889.DOC v3} 13 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 108 of 154 database or a database that is either supplied or certified by the FDOR). The communications services providers remit the remaining proceeds to the FDOR for deposit into the Trust Fund. The FDOR then makes monthly contributions from the Trust Fund to local governments after deducting up to 1 % of the total revenues generated as an administrative fee. The federal Internet Tax Freedom Act ("ITF A") imposes a moratorium on taxation of Internet access by states and political subdivisions. As amended by the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act ("ITNA"), the ITF A may have a material adverse effect upon future collections of the Communications Services Tax Revenues. Signed by President George W. Bush on December 3, 2004, the ITNA extended the ITF A until November 1, 2007. Federal legislation was enacted on October 31, 2007, to extend the moratorium, which was set to expire on November 1, 2007, on certain state and local government taxation on 1nternet access to November 1, 2014. This legislation prohibits a state from reimposing a tax on Internet access which the state repealed more than twenty-four (24) months prior to this legislation's enactment. Additionally, a specific exemption was created for certain state business taxes enacted between June 20, 2005 and before November 1, 2007 which do not discriminate against providers of communication services, Internet access or telecommunications. Effective November 1, 2003, "internet access" was amended to include telecommunications services purchased, used or sold by a provider of internet access to provide Internet access. "internet access" now also includes related communication services, such as email and instant messaging. Thedefinitionof"lnternetaccess"wasrevised,inpart,to eliminate existing language which could be read to allow providers of communication services to exclude from taxation charges for Internet access services which are bundled for a single price with taxable communication services. "Telecommunications," as amended, includes un-regulated non-utility telecommunications, such as cable services. Application of the amended definition of "internet access" was delayed until June 30, 2008 for state or local tax on 1nternet access that was: (1) generally imposed and actually enforced on telecommunication services, or (2) the subject of litigation instituted in a state court prior to July 1, 2007. Prior to December 3, 2004, under the CST A, according to FDOR, when charges for internet access services are not separately stated on a customer's bilt the entire charge is taxed, regardless of whether the charge includes internet access or telecommunications services used to provide internet access. The negative impact on future collections of Communications Services Tax Revenues because of the ITNA cannot be determined at this time. The amount of Communications Services Tax revenues received by the County is subject to increase or decrease due to (i) increases or decreases in the dollar volume of taxable sales within the County, (ii) legislative changes, and/or (iii) technological advances which could affect consumer preferences, such as Voice over Internet Protocol ("V alP"). VolP is a less expensive technology that allows telephone calls to be made in digital form using a broadband internet connection, rather than an analog phone line, and has the potential to supplant traditional telephone service. It is possible that Vo1P could either reduce the dollar volume of taxable sales within the County or will be a non-taxable service altogether. The amount of the Communications Services Tax revenues collected within the County may be adversely affected by the incorporation of new municipalities in the unincorporated areas of the County and the annexation of unincorporated areas of the County by the municipalities within the County. Such incorporation and/or annexation would decrease the number of addresses contained within the unincorporated areas of the County. {25694/001/00435889.DOCv31 14 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22. 2010 Page 109 of 154 Intergovernmental Revenues All revenues received by a local unit from federal, state, and other local government sources in the form of grants, shared revenues, and payments in lieu of taxes would be included in the intergovernmental revenues category. The category is further classified into seven subcategories: federal grants, federal payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT), state grants, state shared revenues, state PILOT, local grants and local shared revenues. If a particular grant is funded from separate intergovernmental sources, then the revenue is recorded proportionately. The largest component is the "Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax." Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax "Sales Tax Revenues" consist of the amount of the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax distributed by the State from the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund to the County pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 218, Part VI, Florida Statutes. The State levies and collects a sales tax on, among other things, the sales price of each item or article of tangible personal property sold at retail in the State, subject to certain exceptions and dealer allowances. In 1982, the Florida legislature created the Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax Program (the "Half-Cent Sales Tax Program") which distributes a portion of the sales tax revenue and money from the State's General Revenue Fund to counties and municipalities that meet strict eligibility requirements. In 1982, when the Half-Cent Sales Tax Program was created, the general rate of sales tax in the State was increased from 4% to 5%, and one-half of the fifth cent was devoted to the Half-Cent Sales Tax Program, thus giving rise to the name "Half-Cent Sales Tax." Although the amount of sales tax revenue deposited into the Half-Cent Sales Tax Program is no longer one-half of the fifth cent of every dollar of the sales price of an item subject to sales tax, the name "Half-Cent Sales Tax" has continued to be utilized. Section 212.20, Florida Statutes, provides for the distribution of sales tax revenues collected by the State of Florida and further provides for the distribution of a portion of sales tax revenues to the Half- Cent Sales Tax Clearing Trust Fund (the "Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund"), after providing for transfers to the State's General Fund and the Ecosystem Management and Restoration Trust Fund. From 1993 until July 1, 2003, the proportion of sales tax revenues deposited in the Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund (the "Half-Cent Sales Tax Revenues") had been constant at 9.653% of all state sales tax remitted to the State by a sales tax dealer located within a particular county. (Effective July 1, 2003, such proportion was reduced to 9.643%, and effective July 1, 2004, such proportion was further reduced to 8.814%, which remains in effect). Such amount deposited in the Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund is earmarked for distribution to the governing body of such county and each participating municipality within that county pursuant to a distribution formula. The legislative intent of the proportion reductions described above was to freeze for one fiscal year the total amount of Half-Cent Sales Tax Revenues distributed to the counties and municipalities throughout the State. The negative impact on municipalities from changes to the half-cent sales tax distribution was offset by the increased distribution to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for municipalities. Likewise, the negative impact of the change in half-cent sales tax distribution on smaller counties with a limited tax base was offset by the increased share of state taxes going for the emergency distribution. The net impact was to reduce the amount of funds distributed to county governments equal to projected growth in income from the half-cent sales tax distribution. The general rate of sales tax in the State is currently 6%. After taking into account the distributions to the State's General Fund (historically 5% of taxes collected) and the Ecosystem Management and Restoration Trust Fund (historically 0.2% of taxes collected), and after taking into account the cumulative effect of the proportion reductions 125694/00I/00435889.DOCv31 15 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 110 of 154 described above, for every dollar of taxable sales price of an item, approximately 0.501 cents is deposited into the Trust Fund. As of October 1, 2001, the Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund began receiving a portion of the Communications Services Tax pursuant to the CST A. Accordingly, moneys distributed from the Half- Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund now consist of funds derived from both general sales tax proceeds and Communications Services Tax revenues required to be deposited into the Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund. The Half-Cent Sales Tax Revenues are distributed from the Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund on a monthly basis to participating units of local government in accordance with Part VI, Chapter 218, Florida Statutes (the "Sales Tax Act"). The Sales Tax Act permits the County to pledge its share of the Half-Cent Sales Tax for the payment of principal of and interest on any capital project. Florida law also allows counties to impose a sales surtax of up to 1 % to fund infrastructure improvements upon approval by a vote of the electors. The County has not imposed a 1 % sales surtax. To be eligible to participate in the Half-Cent Sales Tax Program, each municipality and county is required to have: (i) reported its finances for its most recently completed fiscal year to the FDFS as required by Florida law; (ii) made provisions for annual post audits of financial accounts in accordance with provisions of law; (iii) levied, as shown on its most recent financial report, ad valorem taxes, exclusive of taxes levied for debt service or other special millages authorized by the voters, to produce the revenue equivalent to a millage rate of three (3) mills on the dollar based upon 1973 taxable values or, in order to produce revenue equivalent to that which would otherwise be produced by such three (3) mill ad valorem tax, to have received a remittance from the county pursuant to a municipal services benefit unit, collected an occupational license tax, utility tax, or ad valorem tax, or have received revenue from any combination of those four sources; (iv) certified that persons in its employ as law enforcement officers meet certain qualifications for employment, and receive certain compensation; (v) certified that persons in its employ as firefighters meet certain employment qualifications and are eligible for certain compensation; (vi) certified that each dependent special district that is budgeted separately from the general budget of such county or municipality has met the provisions for annual post audit of its financial accounts in accordance with law; and (vii) certified to the FDOR that it has complied with certain procedures regarding the establishment of the ad valorem tax millage of the county or municipality as required by law. Although the Sales Tax Act does not impose any limitation on the number of years during which a county or municipality may receive distributions of the Half-Cent Sales Tax Revenues from the {25694/001l00435889. Docv31 16 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 111 of 154 Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund, there may be amendments to the Sales Tax Act in subsequent years imposing additional requirements of eligibility for counties and municipalities participating in the Half- Cent Sales Tax Revenues, or the distribution formulas in Sections 212.20(6)(d) or 218.62, Florida Statutes, may be revised. To be eligible to participate in the Trust Fund in future years, the County must comply with the financial reporting and other requirements of the Sales Tax Act. Otherwise, the County would lose its Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund distributions for twelve (12) months following a "determination of noncompliance" by FDOR. The County has always maintained eligibility to receive the Sales Tax Revenues. Half-Cent Sales Tax Revenues collected within a county and deposited in the Half-Cent Sales Tax Trust Fund are distributed among such county and the eligible municipalities therein in accordance with the following formula: County's share (expressed as a percentage of total Half-Cent Sales Tax Revenues) unincorporated county population total county population + 2/3 of the incorporated county population 2/3 of the incorporated county population + Each municipality's share (expressed as a percentage of Half- Cent Sales Tax Revenues) municipality population total coun ty + population 2/3 of the incorporated county population The amount of the Half-Cent Sales Tax revenues distributed to the County may be adversely affected by the incorporation of new municipalities in the unincorporated areas of the County and the annexation of unincorporated areas of the County by the municipalities within the County. Such incorporation and/or annexation would decrease the number of addresses contained within the unincorporated areas of the County. State Revenue Sharil1~) A portion of the taxes levied and collected by the State is shared with local governments under provisions of Chapter 218.215, Florida Statutes. To be eligible for State Revenue Sharing funds, a local government must have: (I) reported its finances for its most recently completed fiscal year to the FDFS as required by Florida law; (ii) made provisions for annual post audits of financial accounts in accordance with provisions of law; (iii) levied, as shown on its most recent financial report, ad valorem taxes, exclusive of taxes levied for debt service or other special millages authorized by the voters, to produce the revenue equivalent to a millage rate of three (3) mills on the dollar based upon 1973 {25694/001/00435889.DOCv3} 17 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 112 of 154 taxable values or, in order to produce revenue equivalent to that which would otherwise be produced by such three (3) mill ad valorem tax, to have received a remittance from the county pursuant to a municipal services benefit unit, collected an occupational license tax, utility tax, or ad valorem tax, or have received revenue from any combination of those four sources; (iv) certified that persons in its employ as law enforcement officers meet certain qualifications for employment, and receive certain compensation; (v) certified that persons in its employ as firefighters meet certain employment qualifications and are eligible for certain compensation; (vi) certified that each dependent special district that is budgeted separately from the general budget of such county or municipality has met the provisions for annual post audit of its financial accounts in accordance with law; and (vii) certified to the Florida Department of Revenue that it has complied with certain procedures regarding the establishment of the ad valorem tax millage of the county or municipality as required by law. Eligibility is retained if the local government has met eligibility requirements for the previous three years, even if the local government reduces its millage or utility taxes because of the receipt of State Revenue Sharing funds. The amount of the State Revenue Sharing Trust Fund distributed to a county is calculated using a formula consisting of the following equally weighted factors: county population, unincorporated county population and county sales tax collections. A county's population factor means a county's population divided by the total population of all eligible counties in the State. The unincorporated county population factor means the county's unincorporated population divided by the total unincorporated population of all eligible counties in the State. A county's sales tax collections factor means that county's sales tax collections during the preceding year divided by the total sales tax collections during the same period for all eligible counties in the State. Funds are wired monthly by the FDOR. Each eligible county is entitled to receive a minimum amount of State Revenue Sharing Funds, known as the "guaranteed entitlement" and the "second guaranteed entitlement," the first of which is correlated to amounts received by such county from certain taxes on cigarettes, roads and intangible property in the State fiscal year 1971-1972 and the second of which is correlated to the amount received by such county in State fiscal year 1981-1982 from the then-existing tax on cigarettes and intangible personal property, less the guaranteed entitlement. The funds remaining in the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund after the distribution of the Guaranteed Entitlement and Second Guaranteed Entitlement are referred to as "growth monies" that are further distributed to eligible counties (the "Growth Monies"). There are no restrictions on the use of the Guaranteed Entitlement, Second Guaranteed Entitlement or the Growth Monies revenues, however there are restrictions on the amount of funds that can be pledged for bond indebtedness. Counties are allowed to pledge the Guaranteed Entitlement and the Second Guaranteed Entitlement revenues. Counties can assign, pledge, or set aside as a trust for the payment of principal or interest on bonds or any other form of indebtedness an amount up to 50 percent 125694/00l/00435889.DOCv31 18 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 113 of 154 of the State Revenue Sharing Funds (including Growth Monies) received by it in the prior State fiscal year. To be eligible to participate in State Revenue Sharing in future years, the County must comply with certain eligibility and reporting requirements. 11 the County fails to comply with such requirements, the FDOR may utilize the best information available to it, if such information is available, or take any necessary action including disqualification, either partial or entire, and the County shall further waive any right to challenge the determination of the FDOR as to its distribution, if any. Licenses, Permits and Impact Fees These are revenues derived from the issuance of local professional, occupational, and other licenses. Included in this category are impact fees. Impact fees are charged on new construction and must be used for growth related capital expansion. Charges for Services Revenues resulting from a local unit's charges for services are reflected in this category and include those charges received from private individuals or other governmental units. The following functional areas include such charges: (i) General government; (ii) Public safety; (Iii) Physical environment; (iv) Transportation; (v) Economic environment; (vi) Human services; and (vii) Culture and recreation. Fines and Forfeitures Fines and forfeitures reflect those penalties and fines imposed for the commission of statutory offenses, violation of lawful administrative rules and regulations, and for neglect of official duty. Forfeitures include revenues resulting from parking and court fines. Interest This category includes interest earned on County investments. As the economy slows, the amount of interest received by the County is negatively impacted. Miscellaneous Revenues This category includes a variety of revenues including: (i) Rents and royalties; (ii) Disposition of fixed assets; (iii) Contributions and donations; (iv) Insurance proceeds; and {25694/00l/00435889.DOCv31 19 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 114 of 154 (v) Other miscellaneous revenue The following table represents the County's determination of non-ad valorem revenues for the County's fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 through September 30, 2009 (excludes non-ad valorem revenues of the County which are not legally available to pay debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds). Certain of such revenues may heretofore or hereinafter be specifically pledged to secure other indebtedness by the County. Any such debt would be payable from such specific revenue sources prior to payment of debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds. Such table is not intended to represent revenues of the County which would necessarily be available to pay debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds, however they are an indication of the relative amounts of non-ad valorem revenues of the County which may be available for the payment of principal of and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds taking into account general government expenditures. Certain categories may cease to exist altogether and new sources may corne about from time to time.

Such indebtedness is summarized below: Description Maximum Amount Annual Debt Source of Security Outstandin~(l) Final Maturity Service(2) Half-Cent Sales Tax $27,740,000 10/01/2016 $3,860,853 Half-Cent Sales Tax $36,910,000 10/01/2033 $3,018,444 Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 Capital Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 Capital Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 Half-Cent Sales Tax $143,635,000 10/01/2035 $12,701,019 TOTALS('); $208 285 000 $19.580.316 (1) The amount outstanding on each bond issue is calculated as of May 31, 2010. (2) Maximum Annual Debt Service is calculated on a fiscal year basis. (3) The County's $59,893,000 of Pooled Commercial Paper Loans are not included in this table because the County intends to refinance such debt with proceeds of the Series 2010 Bonds. Since there is no lien on the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in favor of the Holders of the Series 2010 Bonds, the exercise of remedies by the holders of the other obligations heretofore or hereafter issued which are payable from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues may result in the payment of debt service on any such obligations prior to the payment of debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds. CERTAIN FINANCIAL MATTERS Financial and Operating Plan (Budget) and Capital Improvement Planning Policy The County's budget is adopted by the Board no later than September 30th of each year, and the County's budget has consistently received the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada ("GFOA") Certificate of Achievement for its budget presentations since the County began participation in the program in 1988. The County utilizes the following procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in its financial statements: 1. Prior to October 1 ", the County prepares a proposed operating budget for the subsequent fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. {256941001/00435889.DOC v31 22 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 117 of 154 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3. Prior to October 1", the budget is legally adopted through passage of a resolution. 4. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the County funds. 5. Budgets for all County funds are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. 6. Expenditures may not legally exceed budgeted appropriation at the fund level. The County maintains a five-year Capital Improvement Program which is updated annually in connection with the adoption of the budget. Proposed projects are prioritized and funds are allocated to projects according to their order of priority. The 5-year strategic capital plans which are part of the policy coordinate capital needs and the impact of those capital needs on operating budgets. Financial Reporting and Annual Audit The GFOA has awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the County for its comprehensive annual financial report ("CAFR") in each year since the County began participation in the program in 1986. Florida law requires that an annual audit of each county's accounts and records be completed by a firm of independent certified public accountants retained and paid for by such county. Ernst and Young prepared the audit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The audit report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, appears as APPEND1X C attached hereto. General Fund and MSTD General Fund The General Fund and the MSTD General fund are the general operating funds of the County. They account for all financial resources except for those required to be accounted for in another fund. The largest source of revenue in these funds are ad valorem taxation (ad valorem taxes have not been pledged to secure the Series 2010 Bonds which means that the County cannot be compelled to levy ad valorem taxes in order to pay debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds). Revenues deposited in the General Fund and the MSTD General Fund do not directly correspond to the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues from which debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds is payable as some General Fund and MSTD General Fund revenues are not legally available to pay debt service on the Series 201 0 Bonds. Operations are removed from the General Fund and the MSTD General Fund only when they are deemed to be true enterprise operations. Although the Series 2010 Bonds are not payable from ad valorem taxation, approximately 76.75% of General Fund and MSTD General Fund revenues which are collected by the County come from ad valorem taxes. To the extent that the future collection of ad valorem tax revenues or non-ad valorem revenues is adversely affected, a larger portion of non-ad valorem revenues would be required to balance the budget and provide for the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County or which are mandated by applicable law. 125694/001/00435889.DOCv31 23 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 118 of 154 The following chart shows information regarding the General Fund and the MSTD General Fund, and does not include the Capital Projects Funds, for the County's fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 through September 30, 2009: [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] {25694/001/00435889.DOCv31 24 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 119 of 154 0:: 0 0 R N 0 S- '" ~I '" N '" :;:; 'D 'D N "- ~ U) ~1 00 U) f~~~ N '" '" '" 00 M 00 'D M 'D '" '" 0 00 N 0 '" M U) g; ~[ 'D '" M '" U) M M 00 N 0 '" '" 'D '" '" M 'D '" 'D N8", '" '" U)' M' ",' ...'

The ability of the County to appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in sufficient amounts to pay the principal of and the interest on the Series 2010 Bonds is subject to a variety of factors, including the County's responsibility to provide for the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County or which are mandated by applicable law and the obligation of the County to have a balanced budget. No representation is being made by the County that any particular non-ad valorem revenue source will be available in future years, or if available, will be budgeted to pay debt service on the Series 2010 Bonds. Continued consistent receipt of non-ad valorem revenues is dependent upon a variety of factors, including formulas specified under Florida law for the distribution of certain of such funds which taken into consideration the ratio of residents in unincorporated areas of the County to total County residents. Aggressive annexation policies by municipalities in the County or greater growth in the incorporated areas of the County as compared to unincorporated areas could have an adverse effect on non-ad valorem revenues. The amounts and availability of any of the non-ad valorem revenues to the County are also subject to change, including reduction or elimination by change of State law or changes in the facts or circumstances according to which certain of the non-ad valorem revenues are allocated. In addition, the amount of certain of the non-ad valorem revenues collected by the County is directly related to the general economy of the County. Accordingly, adverse economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on the amount of non-ad valorem revenues collected by the County. The County may also specifically pledge certain of the non-ad valorem revenues or covenant to budget and appropriate legally available non-ad valorem revenues of the County to future obligations that it issues. In the case of a specific pledge, such non-ad valorem revenues would be required to be applied to such obligations prior to paying the principal of and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds. Classification of Local Government Expenditures The County classifies its expenditures in accordance with the Uniform Accounting System devised by the FDFS. General government expenditures arise from operations of legislative, judicial and administrative activities of the local government. These costs are related to operations of the Board, the County Administrator's office, comprehensive planning, financial operations, legal expenses, court services and other general government services. Public safety expenditures reflect all costs provided to achieve a satisfactory living environment for the community and its citizens which include expenditures for the County's Sheriff and fire department operations, as well as emergency disaster relief services and protective inspections. Physical environment expenditures relate to the County's conservation and natural resource management efforts. Transportation expenditures generally reflect the costs of roads, bridges and streets. 125694/001/00435889. DOCv31 27 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 122 of 154 Economic environment expenditures include the costs of providing economic development activities, housing opportunities and related programs, and other activities intended to raise the economic status of the citizenry. Human services expenditures reflect the County's activities related to the care treatment and control of mental and physical illness and similar services. Culture and recreation expenditures include the County's costs of operating parks and recreation facilities and of offering special events, cultural services and programs and similar services. Capital outlay expenditures include expenditures which result in the acquisition of, or addition to, fixed assets such as buildings, land and roads. Debt service expenditures are used to account for principal and interest payments on local government debt. RETIREMENT PLAN AND OTHER POST EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS County OPEB General In accordance with Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, the County provides post retirement health care to all employees who retire from the employ of the County. This is administered via a single- employer defined benefit healthcare plan (the "Plan"). In most cases, the retiree pays 100% of the premium cost for the retiree to participate in the County's insurance program. As a rule, the cost of health care increases with age. Thus age-adjusted healthcare premiums for active employees can normally be expected to be less than age-adjusted premiums for retirees. When a single premium is established for both active employees and retirees, the retiree benefits from a lower premium. Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") Statement No. 45 describes such an arrangement as an implicit rate subsidy and mandates that any retiree savings be treated as OPEB even though the employer makes no payments directly on behalf of retirees. The Plan provides healthcare benefits including medical coverage, prescription drug benefits, vision care, dental care and life insurance coverage to both active and eligible retired employees. Eligibility for participation in the Plan is limited to full time employees of the County, employees who are active participants in the Plan at the time of retirement, who retire and are either vested with the Florida Retirement System ("FRS"), are vested in the FRS and are age 62, have 30 years of creditable service before age 62, or meet alternative criteria if disabled or a member of a Special Risk Class. Surviving spouses or dependents of participating retirees may continue in the Plan if eligibility criteria specific to those classes are met. In an open session, the County approves the Plan rates for the enrollment period, and may amend the Plan with changes to the benefits, premiums and/or levels of participant contribution at any time. In addition, the Board offers an OPEB Plan that subsidizes the cost of health care for its retirees who have at least 60% of eligible accrued sick leave remaining at the time of retirement and have completed 15 years of continuous service with the Board. In addition, the retiree must retire from the County, be at least 55 years of age or have completed 30 years of service under the Florida Retirement System (FRS) and be eligible to receive an FRS benefit with no break in time. Such employees are eligible to receive a 50% to 100% subsidy toward the cost of coverage under the active plan. The Tax Collector offers an OPEB plan that subsidizes 100% the cost of 125694jOOl/00435889.DOCv31 28 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22,2010 Page 123 of 154 health care for employees with 10 years of service, between the ages of 54 and 64 and who exchange 800 hours of sick leave at retirement. The Plan does not issue a separate financial report. 1n 2009 Board employees meeting certain eligibility requirements were offered access to a Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP). The requirements for eligibility were that the employee had to be eligible to retire without penalty under FRS. Eligible employees had three options under VSIP. Option 1: Medical and dental coverage for a period of three years, with employee enrollment in the plans as of the date the election is made. 11 the employee has waived coverage, the employee will be enrolled in the $500 deductible medical plan and basic dental plan at the single coverage level. The Board will cover costs including both the employer and employee portions of the medical and dental premiums during the coverage period. Option 2: Employee receives a cash incentive in lieu of three years of medical and dental benefits. The employee will receive a cash payment equivalent to 50% of the average value of three years' medical and dental plan premiums, less applicable payroll taxes. Option 3: Employee receives medical and dental benefits until they reach age 65 with a cash incentive for remaining months under the plan. The employee is enrolled in the plans as of the date the election is made. 11 the employee has waived coverage, the employee will be enrolled in the $500 deductible medical plan and basic dental plan at the single coverage level. The Board will cover costs including both the employer and employee portions of the medical and dental premiums during the coverage period. As of the first of the month following the date when an employee reaches age 65, the employee will be entitled to receive a one-time cash payment equivalent to 50% of the average monthly value of the medical and dental plan premiums, less applicable payroll taxes, for the remaining months in which the employee is eligible to participate under the plan. At September 30, 2009, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, plan participation consisted of: Primary Government Active Plan Participants Retirees and Beneficiaries Receiving Benefits Total Membership 2,261 --1QQ 2,361 Fundi,,? Policy The County has not authorized a Qualifying Trust or Agency Fund for its' OPEB liability. The County does however have the authority to establish and amend a funding policy. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the County contributed $658,599 to the OPEB Plan. Annual OPEB Cost. Net OPEB Obliyation and Accrued Actuarial Liability Amount The County's annual cost (expense) for OPEB is calculated based on the ARC an amount actuarially determined in accordance with GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period not to exceed 30 years. As of the September 30, 2009 actuarial valuation date, the County's Net OPEB obligation was $355,020 and its unfunded accrued {25694/001/00435889. DOCv3} 29 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 124 of 154 actuarial liability ("VAAL") was $5.8 million, all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB Plan) was $164.9 million, and the ratio of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability to covered payroll was 3.5%. Sheriff's OPEB General The Sheriff offers an OPEB Plan that subsidizes the cost of health care for its retirees who have six years of creditable service with the Sheriff and who receive a monthly retirement benefit from the FRS. The Sheriff subsidizes approximately 20% for single coverage and 21 % for family coverage for qualifying individuals. Additionally, in accordance with Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, Sheriff's employees who retire and immediately begin receiving benefits from the FRS have the option of paying premiums to continue in the Sheriff's health insurance plan at the same group rate as for active employees. The plan does not issue a publicly available financial report. Beginning in 2009, employees meeting certain eligibility requirements were offered an Early Voluntary Separation Program. Eligibility requirements were that the employee had to be eligible to retire without penalty under FRS or have 20 years of service with the Sheriff's Office, have a specified base salary and meet the requirements for retirement in good standing. In addition, employees had to meet the eligibility requirements between April 17, 2009 and retire no later than May 11,2009. Employees who met the eligibility requirements prior to April 17, 2009 and September 30, 2009 could choose to retire between two weeks after the final date and September 28, 2009. Eligible employees had the following options: Option 1: Medical coverage for a period of three years at no more than the current coverage level. If the employee had waived coverage, he/she would be eligible for single coverage. Option 2: A combination of insurance coverage and a cash payment. Employee could then supplement with the conversion of 100% of accumulated sick leave to additional coverage beyond the three year period. At September 30, 2009, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, Sheriff plan participation consisted of: Sheriff OPEB Plan Participants Retirees Receiving Benefits Total Membership 1,319 -.22, 1,411 Fundinf Policy The Sheriff has the authority to establish and amend funding policy. For the year ended September 30,2009, the Sheriff contributed $876,138 to the OPEB Plan. No trust or agency fund has been established for the plan. {25694/001/00435889.DOC v3} 30 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 125 of 154 Annual OPEB Cost and OPEB Obli~ation The annual cost of the Sheriff's OPEB Plan is calculated based on the Annual Required Contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period not to exceed 30 years. The contributions made for the 2009 fiscal year were 65% of the annual OPEB cost. Information for the two preceding fiscal years is not available as GASB Statement No. 45 was implemented this fiscal year. As of September 30, 2008 actuarial valuation date, the OPEB Plan was 0.0% funded, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $9,354,088, and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $9,354,088. As of the September 30, 2009 actuarial valuation date, the OPEB Plan was 0.0% funded, the actuarial accrued liability benefits was $14,171,709, and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in a UAAL of $14,171,709. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the OPEB Plan) was $123.3 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroIl was 11.5%. FLORIDA CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS AND PROPERTY TAX REFORM By voter referendum held on November 3, 1992, Article VIl, Section 4 of the Florida Constitution was amended by adding thereto a subsection which, in effect, limits the increases in assessed just value of homestead property to the lesser of (1) three percent of the assessment for the prior year or (2) the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, U. S. City Average, all items 1967~100, or successor reports for the preceding calendar year as initially reported by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Further, the amendment provides that (1) no assessment shaIl exceed just value, (2) after any change of ownership of homestead property or upon termination of homestead status such property shall be reassessed at just value as of January 1 of the year foIlowing the year of sale or change of status, (3) new homestead property shall be assessed at just value as of January 1 of the year following the establishment of the homestead, and (4) changes, additions, reductions or improvements to homestead shall initially be assessed as provided for by general law, and thereafter as provided in the amendment. This amendment is known as the "Save OUf Homes" amendment. The effective date of the amendment was January 5, 1993 and, pursuant to a ruling by the Florida Supreme Court, it began to affect homestead property valuations commencing January 1, 1995, with 1994 assessed values being the base year for determining compliance. In the 1994 general election, Florida voters approved an amendment to the Florida Constitution which is commonly referred to as the "Limitation On State Revenues Amendment." This amendment provides that state revenues collected for any fiscal year shall be limited to state revenues allowed under the amendment for the prior fiscal year plus an adjustment for growth. Growth is defined as an amount equal to the average annual rate of growth in Florida personal income over the most recent twenty quarters times the state revenues allowed under the amendment for the prior fiscal year. State revenues collected for any fiscal year in excess of this limitation are required to be transferred to a budget stabilization fund until the fund reaches the maximum balance specified in the amendment to the Florida Constitution, and thereafter is required to be refunded to taxpayers as provided by general law. The limitation on state revenues imposed by the amendment may be increased by the Legislature, by a two- thirds vote in each house. {25694/00l/00435889.DOCv31 31 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 126 of 154 The term "state revenues/It as used in the amendment, means taxes, fees, licenses, and charges for services imposed by the legislature on individuals, businesses, or agencies outside state government. However, the term "state revenues" does not include: (1) revenues that are necessary to meet the requirements set forth in documents authorizing the issuance of bonds by the State; (2) revenues that are used to provide matching funds for the federal Medicaid program with the exception of the revenues used to support the Public Medical Assistance Trust Fund or its successor program and with the exception of State matching funds used to fund elective expansions made after July 1, 1994; (3) proceeds from the State lottery returned as prizes; (4) receipts of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund; (5) balances carried forward from prior fiscal years; (6) taxes, licenses, fees and charges for services imposed by local, regional, or school district governing bodies, or (7) revenue from taxes, licenses, fees and charges for services required to be imposed by any amendment or revision to the State Constitution after July 1, 1994. This amendment took effect on January 1, 1995, and was first applicable to the State's fiscal year 1995-96. Whether the limitation will have practical impact in the future is not known. To the extent Non- Ad Valorem or any portion thereof constitute "state revenues" which are subject to and limited by the Limitation on State Revenues Amendment, the future distribution of increases in such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or any portion thereof to the County may be adversely affected by the Limitation on the State Revenues Amendment. The Florida Legislature recently initiated a substantial review and reform of Florida's property tax structure. During a special legislative session that ended on June 14, 2007, the Florida Legislature adopted Chapter 2007-321, Laws of Florida, a property tax plan which may significantly impact ad valorem tax collections for Florida local governments. One component of the adopted legislation required counties, cities and special districts to rollback their millage rates for the 2007-08 fiscal year to a level that, with certain adjustments and exceptions, would generate the same level of ad valorem tax revenue as in fiscal year 2006-07; provided, however, depending upon the relative growth of each local government's own ad valorem tax revenues from 2001 to 2006, such rolled back millage rates were determined after first reducing 2006-07 ad valorem tax revenues by zero to nine percent (0% to 9%). In addition, the legislation limits how much the aggregate amount of ad valorem tax revenues may increase in future fiscal years. School districts are not required to comply with these particular provisions of the legislation. A local government may override certain portions of these requirements by a supermajority, and for certain requirements, a unanimous vote. The County fell into the 9% ad valorem tax revenue reduction category. As a result, the County's General Fund millage rate was reduced from 3.5790 mills in fiscal year 2006-07 to 3.1469 mills in fiscal year 2007-08. The County's general millage rate remained the same for the fiscal year 2008-09. While the constitutional amendments which passed on January 29, 2008 did not impact the County's fiscal year 2007-08 budget, they did have an impact on the approach the County took to formulate the budget for fiscal year 2008-09 and beyond. On September 24, 2009, the Board adopted a General Fund millage rate of 3.5645 for fiscal year 2009-10 which is equal to the millage rate which was adopted by the Board for the previous fiscal year. 1n addition to these rollbacks, on October 29, 2007, the Florida Legislature adopted a tax reform package that includes Senate Joint Resolution 20, Senate Bill 40 (an implementing bill) and Senate Bill 60, a special election bill. The Joint Resolution 20 required approval by Florida voters, which occurred on January 29, 2008. Such approval enacted the following ad valorem tax reforms: (1) an exemption of an additional $25,000 of the assessed value of homestead property (to be applied on the assessed value between $50,000 and $75,000) (provided however, this reform does not apply to school boards); (2) a cap {256941001100435889.DOCv3} 32 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 127 of 154 of 10 percent on yearly assessment increases on non-homestead residential and commercial property (provided however, this reform does not apply to school boards); (3) portability of the three percent cap on homestead residential property, up to $500,000, when relocating to a new home in the state; and (4) a $25,000 exemption from the tangible personal property tax. The 10 percent cap began affecting assessments beginning on January 1, 2009. All other reforms took effect retroactive to January 1, 2008. Although no further action is required on the part of the Florida Legislature to implement these amendments, a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of at least part of the amendments was filed prior to the January 2008 referendum approval by the voters. In Bruner v. Hartsfield. filed in the Circuit Court in and for Leon County, Florida in November 2007, new Florida homestead owners (having paid ad valorem taxes for the past four years) filed a class action lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the State statute which limits the increases in assessed just value of homestead property to the lesser of (a) 3% of the assessment for the prior year or (b) the percentage change in the Consumer Price 1ndex for all urban consumers, U.s. City Average, all items 1967=100, or successor reports for the preceding calendar year as initially reported by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (referred to as "Save Our Homes") and the portability provision. The lawsuit alleges that Save Our Homes constitutes an unlawful residency requirement for tax benefits on substantially similar property, in violation of the State Constitution's Equal Protection provisions and the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The lawsuit argues that the portability provision simply extends the unconstitutionality of the tax shelters granted to long-term homeowners by Save OUf Homes. The lawsuit requests a declaration of the unconstitutionality of both provisions and injunctive relief preventing continued application of those provisions. On October 27, 2008, the Circuit Court dismissed with prejudice the Complaint. The plaintiff appealed to the First District Court of Appeals. On November 17, 2009, the First DCA upheld the trial court's ruling and ruled that the Save Our Homes portability provisions are constitutional. The plaintiff has appealed this decision to the Florida Supreme Court. On October 18, 2007, the same Circuit Court in and for Leon County, Florida, in Lanning v. Pilcher. a case filed by out-of-state residents challenging the constitutionality of the Save Our Homes assessment cap, rejected the plaintiffs arguments that the Save Our Homes assessment cap violates either the Commerce Clause or the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the U.s. Constitution or the Equal Protection Clause of either the u.s. or State Constitutions and dismissed the plaintiffs' allegations with prejudice. The Lanning Court noted that its decision was limited to the plaintiffs' complaints regarding the Save Our Homes assessment cap. The plaintiff appealed to the First District Court of Appeals. On August 26, 2009, the First District Court of Appeals upheld the lower court and ruled that the Save Our Homes assessment cap is constitutional. The plaintiff has appealed this decision to the Florida Supreme Court. One or more lawsuits similar to Lanning v. Pilcher have been filed against other defendants in the State. The allegations and relief requested by the plaintiffs in each of these cases are very similar, except that the portability provision was not challenged in Lanning v. Pilcher since the case was filed prior to the approval of the amendments implementing portability. As noted above, the Circuit Court rejected such arguments in Lanning v. Pilcher with Similarly situated plaintiffs. In addition to the legislative activity described above, the constitutionally mandated Florida Taxation and Budget Reform Commission (required to be convened every 20 years) (the "Commission") completed its meetings on April 25, 2008 and placed several constitutional amendments on the November 4, 2008 General Election ballot. Three of such amendments were approved by the voters of {25694/001/00435889.DOC v31 33 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 128 of 154 Florida, which will, among other things, do the following: (a) allow the Legislature, by general law, to exempt from assessed value of residential homes, improvements made to protect property from wind damage and installation of a new renewable energy source device; (b) assess specified working waterfront properties based on current use rather than highest and best use; (c) beginning in 2010, provide property tax exemption for real property that is perpetually used for conservation; and, for land not perpetually encumbered, require the Legislature to provide classification and assessment of land use for conservation purposes solely on the basis of character or use. In May 2009, the Florida Legislature passed SB 532 which proposes a statewide referendum placed on the November 2010 general election ballot for two measures: (i) an additional homestead exemption for first-time homebuyers; and (ii) a 5% assessment limitation on all commercial and non- homestead, residential property. The additional homestead exemption for first-time homebuyers, which would apply to anyone who has not owned a principal residence in Florida during the previous eight years, provides an exemption of 25% of the just value of the property up to $100,000. The exemption is then reduced each year thereafter by 20% of the difference between the capped value and the just value, whichever is greater, until the assessment on the just value is attained. The first-time homebuyers' exemption, if approved by voters, would be available for properties purchased on or after January 1, 2010 and would take effect on January 1, 2011. The Florida Constitution currently provides a 10% limitation over the prior year's assessment value on all commercial and non-homestead, residential property. Therefore, if approved by voters, the referendum proposed by SB 532 would not allow commercial and non-homestead, residential property to be assessed at a value greater than 105% of the prior year's assessed value. The commercial and non-homestead, residential property assessment cap would take effect January 1, 2011. Additionally, the Florida Legislature also adopted HB 833 in May 2009, which provides an additional homestead exemption for deployed military personnel. The exemption would equal the percentage of days during the prior calendar year that the military homeowner was deployed outside of the United States in support of military operations designated by the legislature. This measure also requires approval of Florida voters at the November 2010 General Election. If this measure is approved by the voters, it would take effect January 1, 2011. At the present time, it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such referenda being approved by Florida voters or, if approved, the impact these measures would have on the County's financial condition. Non-Ad Valorem Revenues do not include ad valorem tax revenues. However, pursuant to the Resolution, funding requirements for essential governmental services of the County must be satisfied prior to budgeting and appropriating Non-Ad Valorem Revenues for the payment of the Series 2010 Bonds and other obligations payable from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues. Ad valorem revenues have historically been used in part by the County to pay for services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the County. Therefore, a decrease in ad valorem tax revenues may in turn increase the amount of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues required to fund such services and programs and thereby reduce the amount of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues available to be budgeted and appropriated to satisfy the obligations of the County under the Resolution. 125694/001l00435889.DOCv3} 34 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 129 of 154 ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds to be received from the sale of the Series 2010 Bonds, together with other legally available moneys of the County, are expected to be applied as follows: SOURCES OF FUNDS: Par Amount of Series 2010 Bonds .....................................................................

The investment of surplus funds is currently governed by the provisions of the County's Investment Policy, established by the Board under Section 218, Florida Statutes. The policy authorizes investment of surplus public funds in the permitted investments described in Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. Pursuant to resolution, the Clerk of the Circuit Court (the "Clerk") administers to the investment policy for investment of such surplus funds. The investment policy establishes gUidelines as to the type, maturity, composition and risk relating to the County's investment portfolio. Permitted investments pursuant to such investment policy include the following: 1. Florida Local Government Surplus Trust Fund (State Board of Administration ("SBA'')); 2. US Government Securities - Direct Obligations; 3. US Federal Agencies - Backed by Full Faith and Credit of US Government; 4. US Federal Instrumentalities - US Federal Agency Securities Not Backed by Full Faith and Credit of US Government, except for Student Loan Marketing Association; 5. Certificates of Deposit - Collateralized with US Government Securities or Federal Agencies; 6. Repurchase Agreements; 7. Fixed Income Mutual Funds - Collateralized with US Government Securities or Federal Agencies; 8. Domestic Bankers Acceptances - Rated "AA" or higher, and inventory based; 9. Prime Commercial Paper - Rated "A-l" and "1'-1;" 10. Tax-Exempt Obligations - Rated "AA" or higher and issued by state or local governments; 11. Now Account - Fully collateralized in accordance with Chapter 280, Florida Statutes (limited to Depository Bank/Concentration Bank); 12. Variable Rate Securities only if the rate is a straight floating rate that is set in a direct, as opposed to inverse, relationship to a single index; and 13. Mortgage Securities (CMOs) only if they are: a. Issued by US Federal Agencies or US Federal1nstrumentalities, b. Pass the Federal Financial Investment Examination Council (FFlEC) test at time of purchase, and c. Have an average life of seven (7) years or less and have an absolute final maturity of no more than fifteen (15) years at zero PSA. The term "zero PSA" means that all interest and principal payments are guaranteed to be made by the stated final maturity assuming no prepayments. Specifically prohibited investments include the following: 1. Interest only strips of mortgaged backed securities; 125694/001/U0435889.DOCv3J 37 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 132 of 154 2. Leveraged bonds; 3. Structured notes or financings other than mortgage securities that meet the provisions of the investment policy (permit callable and step up coupons); 4. Variable rate securities that set a rate based on an inverse relationship to an index; and 5. Variable rate debt that sets a rate based on more than a single index. The objective of the investment policy is to match investment cash flow and maturity with known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements (i.e., match assets to liabilities) to the extent possible. 1nvestment of funds shall have final maturities of not more than five (5) years, except for: 1. SBA - no stated final maturity; 2. Certificates of Deposit - 1 Year; 3. Repurchase Agreements - 90 Days; 4. Bankers Acceptances - 180 Days; 5. Prime Commercial Paper - 180 Days; 6. Fixed Income Mutual Funds - no stated final maturity. However, underlying US Government Securities and Federal Agencies have average maturity of 1 year; 7.

US Government Securities and Federal Agencies deposited into an escrow account in connection with the refunding of a County bond issue can have a final maturity of more than 5 years. Mortgage securities shall not be used to match liabilities that are reasonably definable as to amount and disbursement date. Mortgage securities can only be used to invest funds associated with reserves or liabilities that are not associated with a specifically identified cash flow schedule. Mortgage securities can be used to prudently enhance the return on the portfolio. Any and all exceptions to the investment policy require a vote of the majority of Board. Furthermore, the Board may revise the aforementioned investment policy from time to time. LEGAL MATTERS Certain legal matters in connection with the issuance of the Series 2010 Bonds are subject to an approving legal opinion of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., Tampa, Florida, Bond Counsel, whose approving opinion (a form of which is attached hereto as "APPENDIX E - Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel") will be available at the time of delivery of the Series 2010 Bonds. The actual legal opinion to be delivered by Bond Counsel may vary from that text if necessary to reflect facts and law on the date of delivery. Such opinion will speak only as of its date, and subsequent distribution of it by recirculation of this Official Statement or otherwise shall create no implication that Bond Counsel has reviewed or expresses any opinion concerning any of the matters referenced in the opinion subsequent to its date. Bond Counsel has not been engaged to, nor has it undertaken to, review (1) the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of this Official Statement or any other offering material relating to the Series 2010 Bonds; provided, however, that Bond Counsel will render an opinion to the Underwriter of the Series 2010 Bonds (upon which opinion only the Underwriter may rely) relating to the fairness of the presentation of certain statements contained herein under the heading "TAX EXEMPTION" and certain {25694/001/00435889.DOCv3} 38 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 133 of 154 statements which summarize provisions of the Resolution, the Series 2010 Bonds, and federal tax law, and (2) the compliance with any federal or state law with regard to the sale or distribution of the Series 2010 Bonds. Certain legal matters will be passed upon by Jeffrey A. Klatzkow, Esq., County Attorney, and by Bryant Miller Olive P.A., Tampa, Florida, Disclosure Counsel to the County. LITIGATION [There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the County, any threatened litigation against the County of any nature whatsoever which in any way questions or affects the validity of the Series 2010 Bonds, or any proceedings or transactions relating to their issuance, sale, execution, or delivery, or the adoption of the Resolution, or the pledge of the Limited Ad Valorem Taxes. Neither the creation, organization or existence, nor the title of the present members of the Board, or other officers of the County is being contested. The Board has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit originally filed on January 10, 2003, in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Circuit, Collier County. The case is styled Century Development of Collier County, Inc., et a!. v. Jeb Bush, et a!., Case No. 03-0117-CA. The suit, which also names the individual members of the State of Florida Administration Commission as defendants, has been brought by Century Development of Collier County, Inc., Joseph DeFrancesco, Ricardo A. Haylock and Mildred Haylock, Francis D. Hussey, Mary Pat Hussey, and Anne Kornfeld, as class representatives for approximately 400 to 500 persons owning property in that area of the County known as North Belle Meade. The plaintiffs seek monetary relief from the Board for the purported inverse condemnation of property in North Belle Meade that allegedly results from the Board's enactment of an ordinance and comprehensive plan amendments. The plaintiffs contend that the ordinance and comprehensive plan amendments imposed a moratorium on the North Belle Meade properties, the effect of which was a temporary deprivation of all or substantially all beneficial use of such properties, including but not limited to certain mining rights. The plaintiffs did not identify in the Complaint the amount of damages being sought. On February 24, 2004, both the County and the Administration Commission filed motions to dismiss. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed for lack of prosecution and then was re-filed by the plaintiffs on September 8,2004, as Case No. 03-0117- CA. On November 19, 2004, the County served a motion to dismiss the re-filed complaint. On or about March 24,2006, Case No. 04-4341-CA was also dismissed for lack of prosecution. Thus, it now appears this litigation is concluded with no risk of liability. Regardless, in light of the fact that the Holders of the Series 2010 Bonds have a first lien upon the Limited Ad Valorem Taxes of the County, whether or not the plaintiffs are successful, any potential liability is not expected to affect the County's ability to pay the principal and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds. For more information about the Limited Ad Valorem Tax, see "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS" and "AD VALOREM TAXATION herein. The County Manager received approximately 558 purported claims under the Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property Protection Act, Chapter 70, Florida Statutes, on or about July 21, 2004. These purported claims, which may be filed, which in the aggregate allege over $220 million in damages, potentially relate to the issues in the Century Development lawsuit as well as potential additional issues concerning land use regulations imposed in approximately the same geographic area pursuant to state law. At this preliminary stage, the County is reviewing these purported claims but is unable to {25694/001/00435889.DOCv31 39 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 134 of 154 predict whether the claims will lead to suits and whether, in such an event, any of the claims might be successful or the potential extent of the County's ultimate liability. However, in light of the fact that the Holders of the Series 2010 Bonds have a first lien upon the Limited Ad Valorem Taxes of the County, whether or not claimants are successful in any suits which may be filed, any potential liability is not expected to affect the County's ability to pay the principal and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds. For more information about the Limited Ad Valorem Taxes, see "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS" and "AD VALOREM TAXA nON" herein. On May 1, 2006, Lodge Abbott Associates, LLC ("Lodge Abbott") served a purported Notice of Claim to Collier County asserting alleged claims including claims under the Florida Constitution and the Bert J. Harris Private Property Protection Act, Chapter 70, Florida Statutes. These alleged claims purportedly arise out of the County's denial of a requested amendment to the Bald Eagle Management Plan of a Planned Unit Development ("PUD") known as the Cocahatchee Bay PUD. Lodge Abbott alleges it will suffer a loss in value to its property and related losses in excess of $239 million. No lawsuit has been commenced and the principal purported claim is still subject to certain attempted settlement procedure required by the Bert Harris Act in Section 70.001(4)(c). At this very preliminary stage, the County is reviewing these purported claims but is unable to determine whether any of these claims might be successful if any lawsuit is ever filed. Nor is the County able at this very early juncture to predict the extent of the County's potential liability, if any. However, in light of the fact that the Holders of the Series 2010 Bonds have a first lien upon the Limited Ad Valorem Taxes, whether or not Lodge Abbott is successful in any future litigation, any possible liability is not expected to affect the County's ability to pay the principal and interest on the Series 2010 Bonds. For more information about the Limited Ad Valorem Taxes, see "SECURITY FOR THE BONDS" herein. The County experience other claims, litigation, and various legal proceedings which individually are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the operations or financial condition of the County, but may, in the aggregate, have a material impact thereon. In the opinion of the County Attorney, however, except as noted above with respect to the County, the County will either successfully defend such actions or otherwise resolve such matters without any material adverse consequences on the financial condition of the County.] DISCLOSURE REQUIRED BY FLORIDA BLUE SKY REGULA nONS Pursuant to Section 517.051, Florida Statutes, as amended, no person may directly or indirectly offer or sell securities of the County except by an offering circular containing full and fair disclosure of all defaults as to principal or interest on its obligations since December 31, 1975, as provided by rule of the Office of Financial Regulation within the Florida Financial Services Commission (the "Commission"). Pursuant to administrative rulemaking, the Commission has required the disclosure of the amounts and types of defaults, any legal proceedings resulting from such defaults, whether a trustee or receiver has been appointed over the assets of the County, and certain additional financial information, unless the County believes in good faith that such information would not be considered material by a reasonable investor. The County is not and has not been in default on any bond issued since December 31, 1975 that would be considered material by a reasonable investor in the Series 2010 Bonds. The County has not undertaken an independent review or investigation of securities for which it has served as conduit issuer. The County does not believe that any information about any default on such securities is appropriate and would be considered material by a reasonable investor in the Series {25694100l/00435889.DOCv3} 40 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22,2010 Page 135 of 154 2010 Bonds because the County would not have been obligated to pay the debt service on any such securities except from payments made to it by the private companies on whose behalf such securities were issued and no funds of the County would have been pledged or used to pay such securities or the interest thereon. TAX EXEMPTION Opinion of Bond Counsel 1n the opinion of Bond Counsel, the form of which is included as "APPEND1X 0 -- Form of Bond Counsel Opinion" attached hereto, the interest on the Series 2010 Bonds is excludable from gross income and is not a specific item of tax preference for federal income tax purposes under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions. Failure by the County to comply subsequently to the issuance of the Series 2010 Bonds with certain requirements of the Code, regarding the use, expenditure and investment of Series 2010 Bonds proceeds and the timely payment of certain investment earnings to the Treasury of the United States, may cause interest on the Series 2010 Bonds to become includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their date of issuance. The County has covenanted in the Resolution to comply with all provisions of the Code necessary to, among other things, maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Series 2010 Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel has assumed continuing compliance with such covenants. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 The Code contains a number of provisions that apply to the Series 2010 Bonds, including, among other things, restrictions relating to the use or investment of the proceeds of the Series 2010 Bonds and the payment of certain arbitrage earnings in excess of the "yield" on the Series 2010 Bonds to the Treasury of the United States. Noncompliance with such provisions may result in interest on the Series 2010 Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their date of issuance. Collateral Tax Consequences Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or disposition of, the Series 2010 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of Series 2010 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of Series 2010 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. For example, ownership of the Series 2010 Bonds may result in collateral tax consequences to various types of corporations relating to (1) denial of interest deduction to purchase or carry such Series 201 0 Bonds, (2) the branch profits tax, and (3) the inclusion of interest on the Series 2010 Bonds in passive income for certain Subchapter S corporations. In addition, the interest on the Series 2010 Bonds may be included in gross income by recipients of certain Social Security and Railroad Retirement benefits. PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SERIES 2010 BONDS AND THE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE BONDHOLDERS, 1NCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSEQUENCES DESCRlBED ABOVE. PROSPECTIVE (25694/001l00435889.DOCv31 41 Agenda Item No. 16Fl June 22, 2010 Page 136 of 154 BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX SPECIALlSTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD. Other Tax Matters Interest on the Series 2010 Bonds may be subject to state or local income taxation under applicable state or local laws in other jurisdictions. Purchasers of the Series 2010 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the Series 2010 Bonds in their particular state or local jurisdictions. During recent years, legislative proposals have been introduced in Congress, and in some cases enacted, that altered certain federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership of obligations that are similar to the Series 2010 Bonds. In some cases, these proposals have contained provisions that altered these consequences on a retroactive basis. Such alterations of federal tax consequences may have affected the market value of obligations similar to the Series 2010 Bonds. From time to time, legislative proposals are pending which could have an effect on both the federal tax consequences resulting from ownership of the Series 2010 Bonds and their market value. No assurance can be given that additional legislative proposals will not be introduced or enacted that would or might apply to, or have an adverse effect upon, the Series 2010 Bonds. Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that the difference between the principal amount of the Series 2010 Bonds maturing on December 1 in the years _ through and including _ (collectively the "Discount Bonds") and the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of Underwriters or wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Discount Bonds of the same maturity was sold constitutes original issue discount which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes to the same extent as interest on the Series 2010 Bonds. Further, such original issue discount accrues actuarially on a constant interest rate basis over the term of each Discount Bond and the basis of each Discount Bond acquired at such initial offering price by an initial purchaser thereof will be increased by the amount of such accrued original issue discount. The accrual of original issue discount may be taken into account as an increase in the amount of tax-exempt income for purposes of determining various other tax consequences of owning the Discount Bonds, even though there will not be a corresponding cash payment. Owners of the Discount Bonds are advised that they should consult with their own advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning such Discount Bonds. Tax Treatment of Bond Premium The difference between the principal amount of the Series 2010 Bonds maturing on December 1 in the years ~ through and including ~ (the "Non-Callable Premium Bonds") and on December 1, _ (the "Callable Premium Bonds," and together with the Non-Callable Premium Bonds, the "Premium Bonds") and the initial offering price to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or sinlilar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of such Premium Bonds of the same maturity was sold constitutes to an initial purchaser amortizable bond premium which is not deductible from gross income for Federal income tax purposes. The amount of amortizable bond premium for a taxable year is determined actuarially on a constant interest rate basis over the term of each Non-Callable Premium Bond and to the first call date in 125694/00l/00435889.DOCv31 42 Agenda Item No. 16F1 June 22, 2010 Page 137 of 154 the case of Callable Premium Bonds. For purposes of determining gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of a Premium Bond, an initial purchaser who acquires such obligation in the initial offering to the public at the initial offering price is required to decrease such purchaser's adjusted basis in such Premium Bond annually by the amount of amortizable bond premium for the taxable year. The amortization of bond premium may be taken into account as a reduction in the amount of tax-exempt income for purposes of determining various other tax consequences of owning such Premium Bonds. Owners of the Premium Bonds are advised that they should consult with their own advisors with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning such Premium Bonds. RATINGS Moody's 1nvestors Service, 1nc. ("Moody's), Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") are expected to assign ratings of "~" "_" and "~", respectively, with the understanding that upon delivery of the Series 2010 Bonds, the Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy will be issued by the Insurer. In addition, Moody's has assigned a rating of "~" S&P has assigned a rating of "_" and Fitch has assigned a rating of "_" without giving any regard to such Financial Guaranty Insurance Policy. The ratings reflect only the views of said rating agencies and an explanation of the ratings may be obtained only from said rating agencies. Generally, a rating agency bases its rating on information and materials and on investigations, studies and assumptions furnished to and obtained and made by the rating agency. The rating reflects only the view of said rating agency and an explanation of the rating may be obtained only from said rating agency. There can be no assurance that such rating will continue for any given period of time or will not be revised downward or withdrawn entirely by such rating agency, if in its judgment circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of the ratings of the Series 2010 Bonds may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2010 Bonds.
