It IS hereby ascertained, determined and (A) The Issuer has previously issued the Series 2002 Bonds to fInance and refInance various capital improvements within the Issuer.

(C) In order to refund the Refunded Bonds the Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to issue the Bonds.

(E) Upon the advice of the Financial Advisor and in light of the current interest rate market, the Issuer deems it to be in its best interest to now issue the Bonds for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds, as determined pursuant to the provisions herein. (F) In accordance with Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, and pursuant to this Resolution, the Bonds shall be advertised for competitive bids pursuant to the OffIcial Notice of Sale, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, or a summary thereof.

(H) Due to the present volatility and uncertainty of the market for tax-exempt obligations such as the Bonds, it is desirable for the Issuer to be able to advertise and award the Bonds at the most advantageous time and date instead of restricting the sale and award to the date of a particular meeting of the Board; and, accordingly, the Issuer hereby determines to delegate the advertising and awarding of the Bonds to the Chairman within the parameters described herein. 8 (I) It is necessary and appropriate that the Issuer determine certain parameters for the terms and details of the Bonds and to delegate certain authority to the Chairman for the award of the Bonds and the approval of the terms of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof and of the OffIcial Notice of Sale. (J) In the event Bond Counsel shall determine that the Bonds have not been awarded competitively in accordance with the provisions of Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, the Issuer shall adopt such resolutions and make such fIndings as shall be necessary to authorize and ratify a negotiated sale of the Bonds in accordance with said Section 218.385. (K) The Bonds shall be secured solely by a covenant of the Issuer, subject to certain conditions set forth herein, to budget and appropriate from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues amounts suffIcient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, when due. (L) The principal of and interest on the Bonds to be issued pursuant to this Resolution, and all other payments provided for in this Resolution will be paid solely from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in accordance with the terms hereof; and the ad valorem taxing power of the Issuer will never be necessary or authorized to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds to be issued pursuant to this Resolution, or to make any other payments provided for in this Resolution, and the Bonds shall not constitute a lien upon any property whatsoever of or in the Issuer. SECTION 1.05. AUTHORIZATION OF REFUNDING OF REFUNDED BONDS. The refunding of the Refunded Bonds in order to achieve debt service savings is hereby authorized. 9 ARTICLE II AUTHORIZATION, TERMS, SALE, EXECUTION AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS SECTION 2.01.

(A) This Resolution creates an issue of Bonds of the Issuer to be designated as "Collier County, Florida Special Obligation Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 201OB," issued in the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding $27,300,000. The Chairman is authorized to modify the series designation of such Bonds, in his discretion, prior to the issuance thereof. The Chairman shall determine the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds prior to their issuance in accordance with the OffIcial Notice of Sale provided such principal amount does not exceed $27,300,000. The Bonds are issued for the principal purposes of refunding the Refunded Bonds and paying certain costs of issuance incurred with respect to the Bonds. The Bonds shall be dated as of their date of delivery (or such other date as the Chairman may determine), shall be numbered consecutively from one upward in order of maturity preceded by the letter "R", shall be issued in the form of fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 and any integral multiple thereof, shall be initially in book- entry only form of registration, shall bear interest from their date of delivery (or such other date as the Chairman may determine), payable semi-annually on each Interest Date, commencing on April 1, 20 11 (or such other date as the Chairman may determine). The Bonds shall bear interest computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Bonds shall bear interest at such rates and yields, shall mature on October 1 of each of the years and in the principal amounts corresponding to such years, and, except as otherwise provided herein, shall have such redemption provisions, all as determined by the Chairman, upon the advice of the Financial Advisor, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.01. The fInal maturity of the Bonds shall not be later than October 1, 2021. All of the terms of the Bonds will be included in a certifIcate to be executed by the Chairman or other Authorized Issuer OffIcer following the award of the Bonds (the "Award CertifIcate") and shall be set forth in the fInal OffIcial Statement, as described herein. The principal of the Bonds are payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds at the offIce of the Paying Agent. Interest payable on any Bond on any Interest Date will be paid by check or draft of the Paying Agent to the Holder in whose name such Bond shall be registered at the close of business on the date which shall be the fIfteenth day (whether or not a business day) of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Date, or at the request of such Holder, by bank wire transfer for the account of such Holder. All payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts. 10 (B) The Chairman, on behalf of the Issuer and only in accordance with the terms hereof and of the OffIcial Notice of Sale, shall award the Bonds to the underwriter or underwriters that submit a bid proposal which complies in all respects with this Resolution and the OffIcial Notice of Sale and offers to purchase the Bonds at the lowest true interest cost to the Issuer, as calculated by the Issuer's Financial Advisor in accordance with the terms and provisions of the OffIcial Notice of Sale; provided, however, the Bonds shall not be awarded to any bidder unless the true interest cost set forth in the winning bid (as calculated by the Financial Advisor) is equal to or less than 4.00%. In accordance with the provisions of the OffIcial Notice of Sale, the Chairman may, in his or her sole discretion, reject any and all bids. (C) The Bonds shall not be subject to redemption prior to their respective maturities. SECTION 2.02. APPLICATION OF BOND PROCEEDS. The proceeds derived from the sale of the Bonds, including premium, if any, shall be applied by the Issuer as follows: (A) A suffIcient amount of Bond proceeds, together with other legally available moneys of the Issuer, shall be deposited irrevocably in trust in an escrow deposit trust fund or funds established under the terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement and, other than a cash deposit, shall be invested in Federal Securities in the manner set forth in the Escrow Agreement, which investments shall mature at such times and in such amounts as shall be suffIcient, together with such cash deposit, to pay the principal of, premium, if applicable, and interest on the Refunded Bonds as the same mature or are redeemed on their respective redemption dates. (B) The balance of the Bond proceeds shall be used to pay costs and expenses relating to the issuance of the Bonds. SECTION 2.03. EXECUTION OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman and the offIcial seal of the Issuer shall be imprinted thereon, attested with the manual or facsimile signature of the Clerk. In case anyone or more of the offIcers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds or whose facsimile signature shall appear thereon shall cease to be such offIcer of the Issuer before the Bonds so signed and sealed have been actually sold and delivered such Bonds may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided and may be issued as if the person who signed or sealed such Bonds had not ceased to hold such offIce. Any Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such person who at the actual time of the execution of such Bond shall hold the proper offIce of the Issuer, although at the date of such Bond such person may not have held such offIce or may not have been so authorized. The Issuer may adopt and use for such purposes the facsimile signatures of any such persons who shall have held such offIces at any time after the date of the adoption of this Resolution, notwithstanding that either or 11 both shall have ceased to hold such offIce at the time the Bonds shall be actually sold and delivered. SECTION 2.04. AUTHENTICA TION. No Bond shall be secured hereunder or entitled to the benefIt hereof or shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there shall be manually endorsed on such Bond a certifIcate of authentication by the Registrar or such other entity as may be approved by the Issuer for such purpose. Such certifIcate on any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. The form of such certifIcate shall be substantially in the form provided in Section 2.09 hereof. SECTION 2.05. TEMPORARY BONDS. Until defInitive Bonds are prepared, the Issuer may execute, in the same manner as is provided in Section 2.03, and deliver, upon authentication by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof, in lieu of defInitive Bonds, but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions as the defInitive Bonds, except as to the denominations thereof, one or more temporary Bonds substantially of the tenor of the defInitive Bonds in lieu of which such temporary Bond or Bonds are issued, in denominations authorized by the Issuer by subsequent resolution and with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate to temporary Bonds. The Issuer, at its own expense, shall prepare and execute defInitive Bonds, which shall be authenticated by the Registrar. Upon the surrender of such temporary Bonds for exchange, the Registrar, without charge to the Holder thereof, shall deliver in exchange therefor defInitive Bonds, of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity as the temporary Bonds surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefIts and security as defInitive Bonds issued pursuant to this Resolution. All temporary Bonds surrendered in exchange for another temporary Bond or Bonds or for a defInitive Bond or Bonds shall be forthwith cancelled by the Registrar. SECTION 2.06. BONDS MUTILATED, DESTROYED, STOLEN OR LOST. In case any Bond shall become mutilated, or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer may, in its discretion, issue and deliver, and the Registrar shall authenticate, a new Bond of like tenor as the Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon the Holder furnishing the Issuer and the Registrar proof of his ownership thereof and satisfactory indemnity and complying with such other reasonable regulations and conditions as the Issuer or the Registrar may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer and the Registrar may incur. All Bonds so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Registrar. If any of the Bonds shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the Issuer may pay the same or cause the Bond to be paid, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Bonds be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof. 12 Any such duplicate Bonds issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall constitute original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Bond shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefIts and rights to the same extent as all other Bonds issued hereunder. SECTION 2.07. INTERCHANGEABILITY, NEGOTIABILITY AND TRANSFER. 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 thereof 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 Bonds of the same maturity of any other authorized denominations. The Bonds issued under this 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, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in this Resolution and in the Bonds. So long as any of the Bonds shall remain Outstanding, the Issuer shall maintain and keep, at the offIce of the Registrar, books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the Issuer, at the offIce of the Registrar, under such reasonable regulations as the Issuer 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 Bond, the Issuer shall issue, and cause to be authenticated, in the name of the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity as the surrendered Bond. The Issuer, the Registrar and any Paying Agent or fIduciary of the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Outstanding Bond shall be registered upon the books of the Issuer as the absolute owner of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and interest on such Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any such Holder or upon his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid and neither the Issuer nor the Registrar nor any Paying Agent or other fiduciary of the Issuer 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 Bonds, forthwith (A) following the fIfteenth (15th) day prior to an Interest Date for the Bonds; and (B) at any other time as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent of such Bonds, shall certify and furnish to such Paying Agent the names, addresses and holdings of Bondholders and any other relevant information reflected in the registration books. Any Paying Agent of any fully registered Bond shall effect payment of interest on such Bonds by mailing a check to the Holder entitled thereto or may, in lieu thereof, upon the 13 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 Bonds or transferring Bonds is exercised, the Issuer shall execute and deliver Bonds and the Registrar shall authenticate such Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. Execution of Bonds by the Chairman and Clerk for purposes of exchanging, replacing or transferring Bonds may occur at the time of the original delivery of the Bonds. All Bonds surrendered in any such exchanges or transfers shall be held by the Registrar in safekeeping until directed by the Issuer to be cancelled by the Registrar. For every such exchange or transfer of Bonds, the Issuer 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 Issuer and the Registrar shall not be obligated to make any such exchange or transfer of Bonds during the fIfteen (15) days next preceding an Interest Date on the Bonds. SECTION 2.08. FULL BOOK ENTRY FOR BONDS. Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 2.07 hereof, the Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single certifIcated fully registered bond certifIcate for each of the maturities of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). All of the Outstanding Bonds shall be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. As long as the Bonds shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., all payments of principal on the Bonds shall be made by the Paying Agent by check or draft or by bank wire transfer to Cede & Co., as Holder of the Bonds, upon presentation of the Bonds to be paid, to the Paying Agent. With respect to the Bonds registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any direct or indirect participant in the DTC book-entry program (the "Participants"). Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (A) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest on the Bonds, (B) the delivery to any Participant or any other Person other than a Bondholder, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, or (C) the payment to any Participant or any other Person, other than a Bondholder, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds. The Issuer, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall treat and consider the Person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the Holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of 14 registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Holders, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, as provided herein and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer's obligations with respect to payment of principal and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No Person other than a Holder, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, shall receive a certifIcated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal and interest pursuant to the provisions of this Resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the Issuer of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and the words "Cede & Co." shall refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and the Paying Agent. 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 terms, 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 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. In such event, the Issuer shall issue, and the Registrar shall authenticate, transfer and exchange the Bonds of like principal amount and maturity, in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof to the Holders thereof. The foregoing notwithstanding, until such time as participation in the book-entry only system is discontinued, the provisions set forth in the Blanket Letter of Representations previously executed by the Issuer and delivered to DTC shall apply to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds. SECTION 2.09. FORM OF BONDS. The text of the Bonds shall be in substantially the following form with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be necessary and/or desirable and approved by the Chairman prior to the issuance thereof (which necessity and/or desirability and approval shall be presumed by such offIcer's execution of the Bonds and the Issuer's delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser or purchasers thereof): 15 No.R- $ UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ST A TE OF FLORIDA COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA SPECIAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING REVENUE BONDS, SERIES 2010B Interest Rate Maturity Date Date of Original Issue CUSIP Number Registered Holder: Principal Amount: KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that Collier County, Florida, a political subdivision of the State of Florida (the "Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay, solely from the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues hereinafter described, to the Registered Holder identifIed above, or registered assigns as hereinafter provided, on the Maturity Date identifIed above, the Principal Amount identifIed above and to pay interest on such Principal Amount from the Date of Original Issue identifIed above or from the most recent interest payment date to which interest has been paid at the Interest Rate per annum identifIed above on April 1 and October 1 of each year commencing April 1, 2011 until such Principal Amount shall have been paid.

The Bonds shall not be subject to such optional or mandatory sinking fund redemption. [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] 23 ARTICLE IV SECURITY; FUNDS; COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER SECTION 4.01. 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 revenue sources; and subject, further, to the payment of services and programs which are 24 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. REBA TE FUND. The Issuer covenants and agrees to establish a special fund to be known as the "Collier County, Florida Special Obligation Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010B 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 determination 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 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 that (1) 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 annual debt service for all Debt will not exceed 20% of the aggregate of General Fund Revenues, MSTD Revenues 25 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 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 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 determined 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.

The Issuer hereby makes the following covenants, in addition to all other covenants in this Resolution, with each and every successive Holder of any of the Bonds so long as any of said Bonds remain Outstanding. SECTION 5.02. ANNUAL BUDGET. The Issuer shall annually prepare and adopt, prior to the beginning of each Fiscal Year, an Annual Budget in accordance with applicable law. If for any reason the Issuer shall not have adopted the Annual Budget before the fIrst day of any Fiscal Year, the preliminary budget for such year shall be deemed to be in effect for such Fiscal Year until the Annual Budget for such Fiscal Year is adopted. The Issuer shall provide the Annual Budget to any Holder or Holders of Bonds upon written request. The Issuer shall be permitted to make a reasonable charge for furnishing such information to such Holder or Holders. SECTION 5.03. ANNUAL AUDIT. The Issuer shall, immediately after the close of each Fiscal Year, cause the books, records and accounts relating to the Issuer to be properly audited by a recognized independent fIrm of certifIed public accountants, and shall require such accountants to complete their report of such Annual Audit in accordance with applicable law. 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 permitted 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. 27 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.

{25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 11 OFFICIAL STATEMENT Relating to $ COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA Special Obligation Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010B * INTRODUCTION The purpose of this Official Statement, including the cover page and appendices, is to set forth information concerning Collier County, Florida (the "County") and the Collier County, Florida Special Obligation Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2010B (the "Series 2010B Bonds"), in connection with the sale of the Series 2010B Bonds. The County was established in 1923 by the legislature of the State of Florida (the "State") from portions of Lee and Monroe Counties. Its territorial limits, as they presently exist, contain approximately 2,026 square miles. In terms of land area, it is the largest county in the State. The County is located on the southwest coast of the Florida peninsula directly west of the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area. In 2009, the County had an estimated population of 333,032. Principal industries within the County include wholesale and retail trade, tourism, agriculture, forestry, fishing, cattle ranching and construction. Part of the Everglades National Park, the United States' only subtropical national park, comprises a portion of the County. See "APPENDIX A - General Information Concerning Collier County, Florida" attached hereto for more information about the County. The Series 2010B Bonds are issued pursuant to and under the Constitution and laws of the State, Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, and other applicable provisions of law (collectively, the "Act"), and pursuant to Resolution No. 2010-_ adopted by the Board on October 26, 2010, as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Resolution"). See "APPENDIX B - Form of the Resolution" attached hereto. The Series 2010B Bonds are being issued to provide funds, together with other legally available moneys of the County, if any, sufficient to (i) refund all of the County's outstanding Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2002 (the "Refunded Bonds"), and (ii) pay certain costs and expenses relating to the issuance of the Series 2010B Bonds. Pursuant to the Resolution, the County has covenanted and agreed, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if necessary, from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Series 2010B Bonds when due in the manner and to the extent provided in the Resolution and described in "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010B BONDS" herein and "APPENDIX B - Form of the Resolution" attached hereto. THE SERIES 2010B BONDS SHALL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY AS "BONDS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISION, BUT SHALL BE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE * Preliminary, subject to change. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 1 COUNTY, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM AMOUNTS BUDGETED AND APPROPRIATED BY THE COUNTY FROM NON-AD VALOREM REVENUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESOLUTION. NO HOLDER OF ANY SERIES 2010B BOND SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF ANY AD VALOREM TAXING POWER TO PAY SUCH SERIES 2010B BOND, OR BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT OF SUCH SERIES 2010B 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. The County has covenanted to provide certain continuing disclosure information pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the Series 2010B Bonds. See "CONTINUING DISCLOSURE" herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the same meaning ascribed thereto in the Resolution unless the context would clearly indicate otherwise. Complete descriptions of the terms and conditions of the Series 2010B Bonds are set forth in the Resolution, a form of which is attached as APPENDIX B to this Official Statement. The descriptions of the Series 20108 Bonds, the documents authorizing and securing the same, and the information from various reports and statements contained herein are not comprehensive or definitive. All references herein to such documents, reports and statements are qualified by the entire, actual content of such documents, reports and statements. A copy of the Resolution and all documents of the County referred to herein may be obtained from Dwight E. Brock, Esq., Clerk of Circuit Court and Chief Financial Officer of Collier County, Collier County Courthouse Annex, 3301 East Tamiami Trail East, 2nd Floor, Naples, Florida 34112, Phone (239) 252-2745. PLAN OF REFUNDING The Refunded Bonds originally financed and refinanced the acquisition, construction and equipping of various capital projects, including: voting machines, public safety improvements, general governmental buildings, improvements to the county jail, parks and recreation improvements and library improvements (the "2002 Project"). The County has determined that it can achieve a present value net debt service savings by providing for the current refunding of all of the Refunded Bonds. The Refunded Bonds will be called for redemption on October 1, 2011 at a redemption price of 101% of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon. Upon delivery of the Series 2010B Bonds, U.s. Bank National Association, Miami, Florida (the "Escrow Agent") will enter into an Escrow Deposit Agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with the County relating to the Refunded Bonds. The Escrow Agreement will create an irrevocable escrow deposit fund (the "Escrow Deposit Fund") which will be held by the Escrow Agent, and the money and securities held therein are to be applied to the payment of principal of, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded Bonds, as the same become due and payable and at redemption prior to maturity. The refunding will be accomplished through the issuance of the Series 2010B Bonds and the deposit of a portion of the proceeds thereof, together with other legally available moneys, if any, into the Escrow Deposit Fund. Substantially all of such money is expected to be invested in Obligations of the United States of America, as such term is defined in Resolution No. 85-107 adopted by the County on April 30, 1985, as amended and supplemented from time to time (the "Refunded Bonds Resolution"). The maturing principal amount of and interest on the Obligations of the United States of America and any (25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 2 cash held in the Escrow Deposit Fund is expected to be sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on and redemption premium with respect to the Refunded Bonds, and will be pledged solely for the benefit of the holders of the Refunded Bonds, and will not be available for payment of debt service on the Series 2010B Bonds. The initial cash deposit plus principal and interest on the Obligations of the United States of America in the Escrow Deposit Fund will be sufficient to pay the Refunded Bonds to their respective redemption dates according to the schedules prepared by Public Financial Management, Inc., as verified by [Causey Demgen & Moore, Inc.l (the "Verification Agent"). See "VERIFICATION OF ARITHMETICAL COMPUTATIONS" herein. In reliance upon the above-referenced schedules and verification, at the time of delivery of the Series 2010B Bonds, Bond Counsel shall deliver an opinion to the County to the effect that the Refunded Bonds have been legally defeased and are no longer outstanding for purposes of the Refunded Bonds Resolution. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2010B BONDS General The Series 2010B Bonds shall be issued only in fully registered form without coupons in principal denominations of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof. The Series 2010B Bonds are dated as of their date of delivery and bear interest at the rates per annum and mature on the dates set forth on the inside cover page hereof. Interest on the Series 2010B Bonds is payable semiannually on each April 1 and October 1, commencing October 1, 2011 (the "Interest Dates"). Interest payable on the Series 2010B Bonds on any Interest Date shall be paid by check or draft of US Bank National Association, Miami, Florida as Paying Agent mailed to the holder at his or her address, as shown on the registration books of the County maintained by U. S. Bank National Association, Miami, Florida as Registrar, as of the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month (whether or not a business day) next preceding the applicable Interest Date (the "Record Date"); provided, however, at the request of any holder of Series 2010B Bonds, interest payments may be made by bank wire transfer to the account designated by such holder. Principal and premium, if any, of the Series 2010B Bonds is payable to the holder thereof upon presentation and surrender, when due, at the office of the Paying Agent. The Series 2010B Bonds will be issued initially as book-entry obligations and held by The Depository Trust Company C'DTC') as securities depository. The ownership of one fully registered Series 2010B Bond for each maturity as set forth on the inside cover page hereof, in the appropriate aggregate principal amount of such maturity, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. For more information regarding DTC and DTC's Book-Entry System, see the subheading "-Book-Entry Only System" which immediately follows. Book-Entry Only System THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND DTC'S BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM DTC, AND NEITHER THE COUNTY NOR THE UNDERWRITER TAKES ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY THEREOF. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 3 DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2010B Bonds. The Series 2010B Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC One fully-registered Series 2010B Bond will be used for each maturity of the Series 2010B Bonds, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, and will be deposited with DTC SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE SERIES 2010B BONDS, AS NOMINEE OF DTC, CERTAIN REFERENCES IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE SERIES 2010B BONDHOLDERS OR REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010B BONDS WILL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND WILL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010B BONDS. THE DESCRIPTION WHICH FOLLOWS OF THE PROCEDURES AND RECORD KEEPING WITH RESPECT TO BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2010B BONDS, PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL ON THE SERIES 2010B BONDS TO DIRECT PARTICIPANTS (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010B BONDS, CONFIRMATION AND TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2010B BONDS, AND OTHER RELA TED TRANSACTIONS BY AND BETWEEN DTc, THE DIRECT P ARTICIP ANTS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2010B BONDS IS BASED SOLELY ON INFORMATION FURNISHED BY DTC ACCORDINGLY, NEITHER THE COUNTY NOR THE UNDERWRITER MAKES NOR CAN MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS 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 U.s. and non-U.s. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC's participants (the "Direct Participants") deposit with DTC 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-U.s. 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 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 2010B Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for such Series 2010B Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2010B 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. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 4 Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2010B Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Principal and interest payments on the Series 2010B 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 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 2010B 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. DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bond certificates are required to be printed and delivered. (25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 5 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the following paragraphs relating to transfer and exchange of Series 2010B Bonds do not apply to the Series 2010B Bonds to the extent of a conflict with the DTC book-entry system. Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds of the same maturity of any other authorized denominations. The Series 2010B 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, subject to the provisions for registration and transfer contained in the Resolution and in the Series 2010B Bonds. So long as any of the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds. Each Series 2010B 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 2010B Bond, the County shall issue, and cause to be authenticated, in the name of the transferee a new Series 2010B Bond or Series 2010B Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity as the surrendered Series 2010B 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 2010B Bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute owner of such Series 2010B Bond, whether such Series 2010B 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 2010B Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any such Holder or upon his order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds, forthwith (A) following the fifteenth day prior to an Interest Date for the Series 2010B Bonds; (B) following the fifteenth (15th) day next preceding the date of first mailing of notice of redemption of any Series 2010B Bonds; and (C) at any other time as reasonably requested by the Paying Agent of such Series 2010B Bonds, shall certify and furnish to such Paying Agent the names, addresses and holdings of Series 2010B Bondholders and any other relevant information reflected in the registration books. Any Paying Agent of any fully registered Series 2010B Bond shall effect payment of interest on such Series 2010B (25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 6 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 2010B Bonds is exercised, the County shall execute and deliver Series 2010B Bonds and the Registrar shall authenticate such Series 2010B Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution. Execution of Series 2010B Bonds by the Chairman and Clerk for purposes of exchanging, replacing or transferring Series 2010B Bonds may occur at the time of the original delivery of the Series 2010B Bonds. All Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds during the fifteen (15) days next preceding an Interest Date on the Series 2010B Bonds, or, in the case of any proposed redemption of the Series 2010B Bonds then, for the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost So long as the Series 2010B Bonds are registered in the name of DYC or its nominee, the following paragraphs relating to mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Series 2010B Bonds do not apply to the Series 2010B Bonds to the extent of a conflict with the DYC book-entry system. In case any Series 2010B 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 2010B Bond of like tenor as the Series 2010B Bond so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Series 2010B Bond upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Series 2010B Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Series 2010B Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, and upon the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Registrar. If any of the Series 2010B Bonds shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Series 2010B Bond, the County may pay the same or cause the Series 2010B Bond to be paid, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such Series 2010B Bonds be lost, stolen or destroyed, without surrender thereof. Any such duplicate Series 2010B 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 2010B Bond be at any time found by anyone, and such duplicate Series 2010B Bond shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits and rights to the same extent as all other Series 2010B Bonds issued pursuant to the Resolution. No Early Redemption The Series 2010B Bonds are not subject to redemption prior to maturity. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 7 SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010B 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 2010B Bonds when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the Rebate Fund pursuant to the Resolution. "Non-Ad Valorem Revenues" means all General Fund Revenues and MSTD Revenues, other than revenues generated from ad valorem taxation on real or personal property, and all Impact Fee Proceeds, but only to the extent they are legally available to make the payments required in the Resolution. "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. "General Fund" means the "General Fund" of the County as described and identified in the Annual Audit. "Impact Fee Proceeds" means the proceeds of all impact fees levied by the County that are allocated to and accounted for in the Capital Projects Funds as shown in the Annual Audit. "Capital Projects Fund" means the "Capital Projects Funds" of the County as described and identified 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. "Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund" means the "Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund" of the "Special Revenue Funds" as such Funds are described and identified in the Annual Audit. 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 2010B 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 2010B 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 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. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 8 The County has covenanted and agreed to transfer to the Paying Agent for the Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds when due. THE SERIES 2010B BONDS SHALL NOT BE OR CONSTITUTE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OR INDEBTEDNESS OF THE COUNTY AS "BONDS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY PROVISION, BUT SHALL BE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE COUNTY, PAYABLE SOLELY FROM AMOUNTS BUDGETED AND APPROPRIATED BY THE COUNTY FROM NON-AD VALOREM REVENUES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESOLUTION. NO HOLDER OF ANY SERIES 2010B BOND SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF ANY AD VALOREM TAXING POWER TO PAY SUCH SERIES 2010B BOND, OR BE ENTITLED TO PAYMENT OF SUCH SERIES 2010B 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. No Reserve for the Series 2010B Bonds Pursuant to the Resolution, the County has determined not to fund a debt service reserve fund or account to further secure the Series 2010B Bonds. Anti-Dilution Test During such time as any Series 2010B Bonds are Outstanding under the Resolution, the County has agreed and covenanted with the Series 2010B Bondholders that (1) Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall cover projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2010B Bonds and maximum annual debt service on Debt by at least 1.5x; and (2) projected Maximum Annual Debt Service on the Series 2010B Bonds and maximum 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 Series 2010B 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 Bond 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 {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 9 ordinary course of business; (C) all obligations of the County as lessee under capitalized leases; and (D) 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 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. 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 2010B Bonds and the County is not obligated to budget and appropriate ad valorem tax revenues for the payment of the Series 2010B 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, 2011 is $3.5645 per $1,000. The County's Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund ad valorem tax millage rate for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011 is $0.7161 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 2010B 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 2010B 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, from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the Series 2010B Bonds when due in the manner and to the extent described herein. The holders of the Series 2010B Bonds do not have a lien on any specific Non-Ad (25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 10 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 Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund. The General Fund is the largest operating fund of the County. It is used to account for substantially all countywide activities and is supported principally by ad valorem taxes. The Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District 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 FINANCIAL MATTERS - General Fund and Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund" herein. Furthermore, as described herein under "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010B 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 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 major 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 "CST A") 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. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 11 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 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. (f) 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 CSTA 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 {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 12 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 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 ("ITFA") imposes a moratorium on taxation of Internet access by states and political subdivisions. As amended by the Internet Tax Nondiscrimination Act ("ITNA"), the ITFA 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 ITFA 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 Internet 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. The definition of "Internet access" 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 Internet 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 CSTA, according to FDOR, when charges for Internet access services are not separately stated on a customer's bill, 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 ("VoIP"). VoIP 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 VoIP 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 {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 13 incorporation and/or annexation would decrease the number of addresses contained within the unincorporated areas of the County. At this time there are no incorporations or annexations anticipated within the County. 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 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 \25694/002/00469358. DOCv4} 14 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 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 CSTA. 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 mill ages 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 {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 15 (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 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 county + population 2/3 of the incorporated county population The amount of Half-Cent Sales Tax revenues distributed to the County is subject to increase or decrease due to (i) more or less favorable economic conditions, (ii) increases or decreases in the dollar volume of taxable sales within the County, (iii) legislative changes relating to the Local Government Half- Cent Sales Tax, which may include changes in the scope of taxable sales, changes in the tax rate and changes in the amount of sales tax revenue deposited into the Trust Fund and (iv) other factors which may be beyond the control of the County or the Series 2010B Bondholders, including but not limited to the potential for increased use of electronic commerce and other internet-related sales activity that could have a material adverse impact upon the amount of Local Government Half-Cent Sales Tax collected by the State and then distributed to the County. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 16 State Revenue Sharing 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 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. 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. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 17 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, 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 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. If 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. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 2001-54, as amended, such impact fees include: County-Wide Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical Services Impact Fees, Government Facilities Impact Fees and Law Enforcement Impact Fees. The Board established separate impact fee trust funds for each of the County-Wide Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical Services Impact Fees, Government Facilities Impact Fees and Law Enforcement Impact Fees. Each of these impact fee trust funds is maintained separate and apart from each other and from all other funds of the County. The funds deposited into each impact fee trust fund are to be used solely for the purpose of providing growth necessitated improvements and additions to the specific public facility for which such impact fees are received. The 2002 Project consists of growth related improvements and additions for which County- Wide Library Impact Fees, Emergency Medical Services Impact Fees and Government Facilities Impact Fees are legally available. The 2002 Project does not consist of law enforcement growth related improvements and additions, therefore, Law Enforcement Impact Fees are not legally available to pay debt service on the Series 2010B Bonds. Impact fees are charged on new construction and must be used for growth related capital expansion. The use of impact fees is limited under Florida law to (i) payment for expansion facilities or (ii) paying debt service on obligations issued to acquire or construct or refinance expansion facilities to the extent the debt service is attributable to expansion facilities. The use of impact fees is further limited to facility expansions related to the purpose of the impact fee itself. For example, County-Wide Library Impact Fees may only be use to pay for library facilities expansion, and cannot be used to pay for expansion of emergency medical services or other government facilities. Under Florida law, investment earnings with respect to impact fees are subject to the same restrictions on use as the impact fees {25694/002/00469358.0OCv4 } 18 themselves. Impact fees revenues fluctuate with the amount of new construction or development which occurs within the County. Therefore, there can be no assurances that such revenue will not decrease or be eliminated altogether in the event that new construction, for whatever reason, might decrease or cease altogether within the County. Footnote 17 to the County's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 which can be found in "APPENDIX C - Audited Financial Statements" attached hereto states the following: "The following funds had fund balance deficits at September 30, 2009: Fund Amount County-Wide Library Impact Fee Emergency Medical Services Impact Fee Government Facilities Impact Fee Law Enforcement Impact Fee Total ($4,148,592) (101,572) (5,355,509) (7.284.158) ($16,889,831) The fund balance deficits are primarily the result of advances from other funds made prior to September 30,2009. These advances were recorded to ensure repayment of non-impact fee monies loaned to the impact fee fund for the construction of growth necessitated facilities. County management anticipates that the deficits will be covered by future years' impact fee revenues." County management further anticipates that the deficits will be covered only after making allocable debt service payments on the Series 2010B Bonds. The County has utilized this interfund loan approach to track the degree to which unrestricted funds have subsidized growth-related expenditures, such that fund reimbursement can occur in future years when and if the subject impact fees exceed growth-related expenditures. 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. {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 19 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 (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 and including September 30, 2010 (figures from the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 are estimates only and are unaudited) (excludes non-ad valorem revenues of the County which are not legally available to pay debt service on the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds. Such table is not intended to represent revenues of the County which would necessarily be available to pay debt service on the Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 Source of Security Amount Outstanding(l) Maximum Annual Debt Final Maturity Service on a Per Issue Basis(2) Capital Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 Half-Cent Sales Tax $35,505,000 10/01/2033 $2,990,031 Capital Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 Half-Cent Sales Tax $137,820,000 10/01/2035 $12,543,769 Special Obligation Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 Covenant to Budget and Appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues $59,895,000 7/01/2034 $4,053,000 TOTALS: $208.285.000 $19580.316 (I) The amount outstanding on each bond issue is calculated as of October 1, 2010. (2) Maximum Annual Debt Service is calculated by fiscal year, on a per issue basis. (3) The County's $25,200,000 of Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2002, are not included in this table because the County intends to refinance all of such debt with proceeds of the Series 2010B Bonds. See "PLAN OF REFUNDING" herein. Since there is no lien on the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in favor of the Holders of the Series 2010B 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 2010B 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: {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4} 23 1. Prior to October 151, the County prepares a proposed operating budget for the subsequent fiscal year. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2. Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3. Prior to October 151, 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 performed the audit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. The audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 appear as APPENDIX C attached hereto. General Fund and Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund The General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund are the general operating funds of the County. They account for all financial resources except for those required to be accounted for in any other fund. The largest source of revenue in these funds are ad valorem taxation. Ad valorem taxes have not been pledged to secure the Series 2010B Bonds which means that the County cannot be compelled to levy ad valorem taxes in order to pay debt service on the Series 2010B Bonds. Revenues deposited in the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund do not directly correspond to the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues from which debt service on the Series 2010B Bonds is payable as some General Fund Revenues and MSTD Revenues are not legally available to pay debt service on the Series 2010B Bonds. Operations are removed from the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund only when they are deemed to be true enterprise operations. Although the Series 2010B Bonds are not payable from ad valorem taxation, approximately 76.75% of General Fund Revenues and MSTD Revenues which are collected by the County come from ad valorem taxes. To the extent that the future collection of ad valorem tax revenues is adversely affected, a {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4) 24 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. The following chart shows information regarding the General Fund and the Unincorporated Area Municipal Services Taxing District Fund (no Capital Projects Funds and no other funds in the Special Revenue Funds are included in the chart) for the County's fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 through and including September 30, 2010 (figures from the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010 are estimates only and are unaudited) (neither Impact Fee Proceeds or associated expenditures are included in such chart): [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4) 25 (/)' ~ ;:::> z ~~ ;;'u ~z <0< OE-<,..J .....(/)< ~~P=l 000 ~zz '< ;:::> ~O~ zzz ;:::>;:::>< o~ u ,..J ~' ~~~ e:l~;:::> ::3zt: 0~0 U0Z O~ ~~ Z>< .....~ P=l ~ o U ] -I .....

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 2010B 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 2010B 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 take 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 certain 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 2010B 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 Manager'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. {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 28 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 "County 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 Other Post Employment Benefits ("OPEB") even though the employer makes no payments directly on behalf of retirees. The County 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 County Plan is limited to full time employees of the County, employees who are active participants in the County 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 County Plan if eligibility criteria specific to those classes are met. In an open session, the County approves the County Plan rates for the enrollment period, and may amend the County Plan with changes to the benefits, premiums and/or levels of participant contribution at any time. In addition, the Board offers an OPEB option 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 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 County Plan. The {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4 } 29 Tax Collector offers an OPEB plan that subsidizes 100% the cost of 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. However, such plan does not issue a separate financial report. In 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. If 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. If 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, County Plan participation consisted of: Primary Government Active County Plan Participants Retirees and Beneficiaries Receiving Benefits Total Membership 2,261 100 2,361 Funding 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 County Plan. {25694/002/00469358,OOCv4} 30 Annual OPEB Cost, Net OPEB Obligation and Accrued Actuarial Liability Amount The County's annual cost (expense) for OPEB is calculated based on the Annual Required Contribution ("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 actuarial liability ("UAAL") was $5.8 million, all of which was unfunded. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees covered by the County 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 Plan"). 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 Sheriff 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: (25694/002/00469358,DOCv4) 31 Sheriff Sheriff Plan Participants Retirees Receiving Benefits Total Membership 1,319 -..-22 1,411 Funding 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 Sheriff Plan. No trust or agency fund has been established for the Sheriff Plan. Annual OPEB Cost and OPEB Obligation The annual cost of the Sheriff Plan is calculated based on the 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 Sheriff Plan was 0% funded, the actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $9,354,088, and the actuarial value of assets was $0, resulting in an UAAL of $9,354,088. As of the September 30, 2009 actuarial valuation date, the Sheriff 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 Sheriff Plan) was $123.3 million, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 11.5%. FLORIDA CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATIONS AND PROPERTY TAX REFORM By voter referendum held on November 3, 1992, Article VII, 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 shall 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 following 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 Our 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. {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 32 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. The term "state revenues," 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 super majority, 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 per $1,000 in fiscal year 2006-07 to $3.1469 per $1,000 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 {25694/002/00469358.DOCv4) 33 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 23, 2010, the Board adopted a General Fund millage rate of $3.5645 per $1,000 for fiscal year 2010-11 which is equal to the millage rate which was adopted by the Board for the previous two fiscal years. In addition to these rollbacks, on October 29, 2007, the Florida Legislature adopted a tax reform package that includes Senate Joint Resolution 2D, Senate Bill 4D (an implementing bill) and Senate Bill 6D, a special election bill. The Joint Resolution 2D 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 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 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 (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 Our 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. {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4) 34 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 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 proposed 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. However, on August 31, 2010, the Florida Supreme Court affirmed lower court rulings to strike the amendment from the November ballot. 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 2010B 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. (25694/002/00469358,DOCv4) 35 ESTIMATED SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS The proceeds to be received from the sale of the Series 2010B Bonds, together with other legally available monies of the County, if any, are expected to be applied as follows: SOURCES OF FUNDS: Par Amount of Series 2010B Bonds...................................................................

Fiscal Year Ending September 30 $ Total Debt Service $ Principal $ Interest TOTAL $ $ $ [Remainder of page intentionally left blank] (25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 37 INVESTMENT POLICY The moneys held in the funds and accounts under the Resolution may only be invested in Authorized Investments (as defined in the Resolution). 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 a Board 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-I" and "P-l;" 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 Federal Instrumentalities, b. Pass the Federal Financial Investment Examination Council (FFIEC) 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; 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. {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 38 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. Investment 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. Mortgage Securities - average life of 7 years or less and have an absolute final maturity of no more than 15 years at zero PSA; and 8. 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 2010B 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 D - Form of Opinion of Bond Counsel") will be available at the time of delivery of the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds; provided, however, that Bond Counsel will render an opinion to the Underwriter of the Series 20l0B 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 statements which summarize provisions of the Resolution, the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds. {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 39 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. LITIGA TION Except as described below, 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 2010B Bonds, or any proceedings or transactions relating to their issuance, sale, execution, or delivery, or the adoption of the Resolution, or the covenant to budget and appropriate Non- Ad Valorem Revenues in the manner and to the extent described herein and in the Resolution. 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 three related lawsuits, styled Francis Hussey, et al v, Collier County, Case No. 08-6933-CA; Board of County Commissioners v. Francis D Hussey, et ai., Case No. 08- 6988-CA consolidated with 08-6933-CA; and Sean Hussey, et al.. v. Collier County, et ai., Case No. 08-7025- CA. On September 11, 2008, the Plaintiffs' Francis D. Hussey, Jr. and Mary P. Hussey, husband and wife, and Winchester Lakes Corporation, a Florida corporation, filed an Inverse Condemnation suit seeking monetary damages from Collier County, the Honorable Charlie Crist, the Governor of the State of Florida and the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The Husseys contend that the designation of certain real property owned by them by a Growth Management Plan Amendment adopted in 2002 had the effect of precluding mining activities on property, thereby resulting in a substantial diminution in value of the real estate, which the Plaintiffs contend to be compensable under Florida law. The Complaint alleges damage claims, as of June, 2002, in the amount of $67,300,000, and as of July, 2007, in the amount of $91,500,000. The Plaintiffs have also presented a claim for "inverse condemnation based on a regulatory taking of Plaintiffs' property," in an amount not specified in the Complaint. The Wildlife Federation and Collier County Audubon Society was granted leave to intervene in the suit by the Court on April 29, 2009. On July 9,2009, the Florida Wildlife Federation and Collier County Audubon Society served upon Defendants Francis and Mary Hussey a Notice of Intent to Sue over Violations of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USe. 1531 et seq.) Land Clearing of Primary Panther Habitat, RCW Foraging Habitat, and Wood Stork Foraging Habitat. The cases are in the discovery stage. The County believes that this litigation will be concluded with no risk of liability. Regardless, 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 2010B Bonds. 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 REGULATIONS 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 {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 40 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 "FFSC"). Pursuant to administrative rulemaking, the FFSC 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 2010B 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 2010B 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 In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the form of which is included as "APPENDIX D -- Form of Bond Counsel Opinion" attached hereto, the interest on the Series 2010B 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; however, it should be noted that with respect to certain corporations, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax, Failure by the County to comply subsequently to the issuance of the Series 2010B Bonds with certain requirements of the Code, regarding the use, expenditure and investment of Series 2010B Bonds proceeds and the timely payment of certain investment earnings to the Treasury of the United States, may cause interest on the Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds, including, among other things, restrictions relating to the use or investment of the proceeds of the Series 2010B Bonds and the payment of certain arbitrage earnings in excess of the "yield" on the Series 2010B Bonds to the Treasury of the United States. Noncompliance with such provisions may result in interest on the Series 2010B Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their date of issuance. {25694/002/00469358,DOCv4) 41 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 2010B Bonds. Prospective purchasers of Series 2010B Bonds should be aware that the ownership of Series 2010B Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. For example, ownership of the Series 2010B 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 2010B Bonds, (2) the branch profits tax, and (3) the inclusion of interest on the Series 2010B Bonds in passive income for certain Subchapter S corporations. In addition, the interest on the Series 2010B 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 2010B BONDS AND THE RECEIPT OR ACCRUAL OF THE INTEREST THEREON MAY HAVE ADVERSE FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUAL AND CORPORATE BONDHOLDERS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED ABOVE. PROSPECTIVE SERIES 2010B BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD. Other Tax Matters Interest on the Series 20l0B Bonds may be subject to state or local income taxation under applicable state or local laws in other jurisdictions. Purchasers of the Series 2010B Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the Series 2010B 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 2010B 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 20l0B 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 2010B 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 2010B Bonds. Tax Treatment of Original Issue Discount Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that the difference between the principal amount of the Series 2010B Bonds maturing on October 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 2010B 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 (25694/002/00469358,DOCv4) 42 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 2010B Bonds maturing on October 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 similar 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 optional call date in 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. VERIFICATION OF ARITHMETICAL COMPUTATIONS The accuracy of the arithmetical computation of the amounts deposited by the County in the Escrow Deposit Fund to pay the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Refunded Bonds will be verified for the County by the Verification Agent. Such verification will be based on certain information supplied to the Verification Agent by Public Financial Management, Inc. and will be relied upon by Bond Counsel in rendering the defeasance opinion described above under the heading "PLAN OF REFUNDING." RATINGS Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") and Fitch Ratings ("Fitch") have assigned ratings of "---," "_" and "---,", respectively, to the Series 2010B Bonds. 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 (25694/002/00469358,DOCv4) 43 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 2010B Bonds may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series 2010B Bonds, The County undertakes no responsibility to oppose any such revision or withdrawal. An explanation of the significance of the ratings can be received from the following: Moody's Investors Service, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, 23rd Floor, New York, New York 10007, Standard & Poor's, 55 Water Street, 38th Floor, New York, New York 10041 and Fitch Ratings, One State Street Plaza, New York, New York 10004. FINANCIAL ADVISOR The County has retained Public Financial Management, Inc" Coral Gables, Florida, as Financial Advisor in connection with the County's financing plans and with respect to the authorization and issuance of the Series 2010B Bonds. The Financial Advisor is not obligated to undertake and has not undertaken to make an independent verification or to assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the information contained in the Official Statement. The Financial Advisor did not participate in the underwriting of the Series 2010B Bonds, The Financial Advisor may receive a fee for bidding investments for certain proceeds of the Series 2010B Bonds. AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The general purpose financial statements of the County as of September 30, 2009 and for the year then ended, attached hereto as "APPENDIX C - Audited Financial Statements for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2009," have been audited by Ernst and Young, independent auditors, as stated in their report appearing therein. Such statements speak only as of September 30, 2009. The consent of the County's auditor to include in this Official Statement the aforementioned report was not requested, and the general purpose financial statements of the County are provided only as publicly available documents. The Series 2010B Bonds are payable solely from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues in the manner and to the extent as described in the Resolution and herein and are not otherwise secured by, or payable from, the general revenues of the County. See "SECURITY FOR THE SERIES 2010B BONDS" herein. The general purpose financial statements are presented for general information purposes only. ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES The remedies available to the owners of the Series 2010B Bonds upon an event of default under the Resolution are in many respects dependent upon judicial actions which are often subject to discretion and delay. Under existing constitutional and statutory law and judicial decisions, including specifically the federal bankruptcy code, the remedies specified by the Resolution and the Series 2010B Bonds may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series 20l0B Bonds, including Bond Counsel's approving opinion, will be qualified, as to the enforceability of the remedies provided in the various legal instruments, by limitations imposed by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors enacted before of after such delivery. See "APPENDIX B - Form of the Resolution" attached hereto for a description of events of default and remedies. (25694/002/00469358,DOCv4} 44 CONTINUING DISCLOSURE The County has covenanted for the benefit of the Series 2010B Bondholders to provide certain financial information and operating data relating to the County and the Series 2010B Bonds in each year, and to provide notices of the occurrence of certain enumerated material events. The County has agreed to file annual financial information and operating data and the audited financial statements with each entity authorized and approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to act as a repository (each a "Repository") for purposes of complying with Rule 15c2-12 adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"). Effective July 1, 2009, the sole Repository is the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. The County has agreed to file notices of certain enumerated material events, when and if they occur, with the Repository. The specific nature of the financial information, operating data, and of the type of events which trigger a disclosure obligation, and other details of the undertaking are described in "APPENDIX E _ Form of Continuing Disclosure Certificate" attached hereto. The Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall be executed by the County prior to the issuance of the Series 2010B Bonds. These covenants have been made in order to assist the Underwriter in complying with the continuing disclosure requirements of the Rule. With respect to the Series 2010B Bonds, no party other than the County is obligated to provide, nor is expected to provide, any continuing disclosure information with respect to the Rule. In the past five years, the County has never failed to comply with any prior agreements to provide continuing disclosure information pursuant to the Rule. UNDERWRITING The Series 2010B Bonds are being purchased by (the "Underwriter") at an aggregate purchase price of $ (which includes a net original issue discount/premium of $ and an Underwriter's discount of $ ). The Underwriter's obligations are subject to certain conditions precedent, and it will be obligated to purchase all of the Series 2010B Bonds if any Series 2010B Bonds are purchased. The Series 2010B Bonds may be offered and sold to certain dealers (including dealers depositing such Series 2010B Bonds into investment trusts) at prices lower than such public offering prices, and such public offering prices may be changed, from time to time, by the Underwriter. CONTINGENT FEES The County has retained Bond Counsel, Disclosure Counsel and the Financial Advisor with respect to the authorization, sale, execution and delivery of the Series 2010B Bonds. Payment of the fees of such professionals and an underwriting discount to the Underwriter are each contingent upon the issuance of the Series 2010B Bonds.

The Escrow Agent shall in no manner be responsible or liable for failure or delay of Bond Counselor the County to promptly approve the substitutions of other United States Treasury obligations for the Escrow Fund. SECTION 6. SUFFICIENCY OF ESCROW SECURITIES AND THE CASH DEPOSIT. In reliance upon the Verification Report, the County represents that the Cash Deposit and the interest on and the principal amounts successively maturing on the Escrow Securities in accordance with their terms (without consideration of any reinvestment of such maturing principal and interest) are sufficient such that moneys will be available to the Escrow Agent in amounts sufficient and at the times required to pay the amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest due and to become due on the Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C attached hereto. If the Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit shall be insufficient to make such payments, the County shall timely deposit to the Escrow Fund, solely from legally available funds of the County, such additional amounts as may be required to pay the Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C hereto. Notice of any insufficiency shall be given by the Escrow Agent to the County as promptly as possible, but the Escrow Agent shall in no manner be responsible for the County's failure to make such deposits. SECTION 7. ESCROW SECURITIES AND THE CASH DEPOSIT IN TRUST FOR HOLDERS OF REFUNDED BONDS. The deposit of the Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit in the Escrow Fund shall constitute an irrevocable deposit of Defeasance Securities (as defined in the Resolution) and cash in trust solely for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds at such times and in such amounts as set forth in Schedule C hereto, and the principal of and interest earnings on such Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit shall be used solely for such purpose. SECTION 8. ESCROW AGENT TO PAY REFUNDED BONDS FROM ESCROW FUND. The County hereby directs, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees, that it will take all actions required to be taken by it under the provisions of the Resolution referenced in this Agreement, including the timely transfer of money to the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds (The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.) as provided in the Resolution, in order to effectuate this Agreement and to pay the Refunded Bonds in the amounts and at the times provided in Schedule C hereto. The Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit shall be used to pay debt service on the Refunded Bonds as they mature or are redeemed prior to maturity. The Refunded Bonds 3 maturing on October 1, 2012 and thereafter shall be redeemed prior to their respective maturities on October 1, 2011 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of each Refunded Bond, plus interest accrued to the Redemption Date. The Refunded Bonds maturing on October 1, 2011 shall be paid at maturity. If any payment date shall be a day on which either the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds or the Escrow Agent is not open for the acceptance or delivery of funds, then the Escrow Agent may make payment on the next business day. The liability of the Escrow Agent for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited to the application of the Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit and the interest earnings thereon available for such purposes in the Escrow Fund. SECTION 9. REINVESTMENT OF MONEYS AND SECURITIES IN ESCROW FUND. Moneys deposited in the Escrow Fund shall be invested, other than the Cash Deposit, only in the Escrow Securities listed in Schedule B hereto and, except as provided in Section 5 hereof and this Section 9, neither the County nor the Escrow Agent shall otherwise invest or reinvest any moneys in the Escrow Fund. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof and in this Section 9, the Escrow Agent may not sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Escrow Securities or the Cash Deposit in the Escrow Fund and reinvest the proceeds thereof in other securities nor may it substitute securities for any of the Escrow Securities, except upon written direction of the County and where, prior to any such reinvestment or substitution, the Escrow Agent has received from the County the following: (a) a written verification report by a firm of independent certified public accountants, of recognized standing, appointed by the County and acceptable to the Escrow Agent, to the effect that after such reinvestment or substitution the principal amount of Escrow Securities, together with the interest therein and any uninvested cash, will be sufficient to pay the Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C hereto; and (b) a written opinion of nationally recognized Bond Counsel to the effect that (i) such investment will not cause the Series 201 OB Bonds or the Refunded Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder or otherwise cause the interest on the Refunded Bonds or the Series 201 OB Bonds to be included as gross income for purposes of federal income taxation, and (ii) such investment does not violate any provision of Florida law or of the Resolution. The above-described verification report need not be provided in the event the County purchases Escrow Securities with the proceeds of maturing Escrow Securities and such purchased Escrow Securities mature on or before the next interest payment date for the 4 Refunded Bonds and have a face amount which is at least equal to the cash amount invested in such Escrow Securities. In the event the above-referenced verification concludes that there are surplus moneys in the Escrow Fund, such surplus moneys shall be released to the County upon its written direction. The Escrow Fund shall continue in effect until the date upon which the Escrow Agent makes the final payment to the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds in an amount sufficient to pay the Refunded Bonds as described in Schedule C hereto, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall sell or redeem any Escrow Securities remaining in the Escrow Fund, and shall remit to the County the proceeds thereof, together with all other money, if any, then remaining in the Escrow Fund. SECTION 10. REDEMPTION OF REFUNDED BONDS. The County hereby irrevocably instructs the Escrow Agent to cause the Registrar for the Refunded Bonds (The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.) to give, on behalf of the County, at the appropriate times the notice or notices, if any, required by the Resolution in connection with the redemption of the Refunded Bonds. The Refunded Bonds maturing on and after October 1, 2012 shall be redeemed on October 1, 2011 at a redemption price equal to 101 % of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest. SECTION 11. DEFEASANCE NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF REFUNDED BONDS. Concurrently with the deposit of the Escrow Securities set forth in Section 5 hereof, the Refunded Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning and with the effect expressed in Article XII of the Resolution. Within 60 days of the deposit of moneys into the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent, on behalf of the County, shall cause the Paying Agent for the Refunded Bonds (The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.) to mail to the Holders of the Refunded Bonds the appropriate notice in the form provided in Schedule D attached hereto. SECTION 12. ESCROW FUND IRREVOCABLE. The Escrow Fund hereby created shall be irrevocable and the holders of the Refunded Bonds shall have an express lien on all Escrow Securities and the Cash Deposit deposited in the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms hereof and the interest earnings thereon until paid out, used and applied in accordance with this Agreement and the Resolution. Neither the County nor the Escrow Agent shall cause nor permit any other lien or interest whatsoever to be imposed upon the Escrow Fund. SECTION 13. AMENDMENTS TO AGREEMENT. This Agreement is made for the benefit of the County and the holders from time to time of the Refunded Bonds and it shall not be repealed, revoked, altered or amended without the written consent of all such holders and the written consent of the Escrow Agent; provided, however, that the County and the Escrow Agent may, without the consent of, or notice to, such holders, enter into such agreements supplemental to this Agreement as shall not 5 adversely affect the rights of such holders and as shall not be inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, for anyone or more of the following purposes: (a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission III this Agreement; (b) to grant, or confer upon, the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Refunded Bonds, any additional rights, remedies, powers or authority that may lawfully be granted to, or conferred upon, such holders or the Escrow Agent; and (c) to subject to this Agreement additional funds, securities or properties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon an unqualified opinion of nationally recognized Bond Counsel with respect to compliance with this Section 13, including the extent, if any, to which any change, modification or addition affects the rights of the holders of the Refunded Bonds, or that any instrument executed hereunder complies with the conditions and provisions of this Section 13. SECTION 14. FEES AND EXPENSES OF ESCROW AGENT; INDEMNIFICA TION. In consideration of the services rendered by the Escrow Agent under this Agreement, the County agrees to and shall pay to the Escrow Agent the fees and expenses as shall be agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The Escrow Agent shall have no lien whatsoever upon any of the Escrow Securities in said Escrow Fund for the payment of such proper fees and expenses. The County further agrees to indemnify and save the Escrow Agent harmless, to the extent allowed by law, against any liabilities which it may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, and which are not due to its negligence or misconduct. Indemnification provided under this Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Whenever the Escrow Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action under this Agreement, such matter may be deemed to be conclusively established by a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the County. The Escrow Agent may conclusively rely, as to the correctness of statements, conclusions and opinions therein, upon any certificate, report, opinion or other document furnished to the Escrow Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement; the Escrow Agent shall be protected and shall not be liable for acting or proceeding, in good faith, upon such reliance; and the Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument. The Escrow Agent may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the County or independent counsel, with regard to legal questions, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith in accordance 6 herewith. Prior to retaining such independent counsel, the Escrow Agent shall notify the County of its intention. The Escrow Agent and its successors, agents and servants shall not be held to any personal liability whatsoever, in tort, contract or otherwise, by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the establishment of the Escrow Fund, the acceptance and disposition of the various moneys and funds described herein, the purchase, retention or payment, transfer or other application of funds or securities by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any nonnegligent act, omission or error of the Escrow Agent made in good faith in the conduct of its duties. The Escrow Agent shall, however, be liable to the County and to holders of the Refunded Bonds to the extent of their respective damages for negligent or willful acts, omissions or errors of the Escrow Agent which violate or fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The duties and obligations of the Escrow Agent shall be determined by the express provisions of this Agreement. SECTION 15. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF ESCROW AGENT. As soon as practicable after the first day of April and October of each year, commencing April 1, 2011, so long as the Escrow Fund is maintained under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall forward in writing to the County a statement in detail of the Escrow Securities held as of April 1 or October 1 of that year, whichever is applicable, and the income and maturities thereof, and withdrawals of money from the Escrow Fund, since the last statement furnished pursuant to this Section 15. SECTION 16. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF ESCROW AGENT. The Escrow Agent, at the time acting hereunder, may at any time resign and be discharged from the duties and obligations hereby created by giving not less than 60 days' written notice to the County and mailing notice thereof, specifying the date when such resignation will take effect to the holders of all Refunded Bonds then outstanding, but no such resignation shall take effect unless a successor Escrow Agent shall have been appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding or by the County as hereinafter provided and such successor Escrow Agent shall have accepted such appointment, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment and acceptance of a successor Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent may be replaced at any time by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, delivered to the Escrow Agent and signed by either the County or the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding. Such instrument shall provide for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, which appointment shall occur simultaneously with the removal of the Escrow Agent. 7 In the event the Escrow Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case the Escrow Agent shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, signed by such holders, or by their attorneys in fact, duly authorized in writing; provided, nevertheless, that in any such event, the County shall appoint a temporary Escrow Agent to fill such vacancy until a successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Refunded Bonds then outstanding in the manner above provided, and any such temporary Escrow Agent so appointed by the County shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the Escrow Agent so appointed by such holders. The County shall mail notice of any such appointment made by it at the times and in the manner described in the first paragraph of this Section 16. In the event that no appointment of a successor Escrow Agent or a temporary successor Escrow Agent shall have been made by such holders or the County pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 16 within 60 days after written notice of resignation of the Escrow Agent has been given to the County, the holder of any of the Refunded Bonds or any retiring Escrow Agent may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it shall deem proper, appoint a successor Escrow Agent. In the event of replacement or resignation of the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder and the County shall indemnify and hold harmless the Escrow Agent, to the extent allowed by law, from any such liability, including costs or expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent or its counsel. No successor Escrow Agent shall be appointed unless such successor Escrow Agent shall be a corporation with trust powers organized under the banking laws of the United States or any State, and shall have at the time of appointment capital and surplus of not less than $30,000,000. Every successor Escrow Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the County an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and thereupon such successor Escrow Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, immunities, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall nevertheless, on the written request of such successor Escrow Agent or the County execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Escrow Agent all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trust of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Escrow Agent shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it to its successor; provided, however, that before any such delivery is required to be made, all 8 fees, advances and expenses of the retiring or removed Escrow Agent shall be paid in full. Should any transfer, assignment or instrument in writing from the County be required by any successor Escrow Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor Escrow Agent the estates, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Escrow Agent, any such transfer, assignment and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the County. Any corporation into which the Escrow Agent, or any successor to it in the trusts created by this Agreement, may be merged or converted or with which it or any successor to it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, consolidation or tax-free reorganization to which the Escrow Agent or any successor to it shall be a party shall be the successor Escrow Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any other act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. SECTION 17. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate when all transfers and payments required to be made by the Escrow Agent under the provisions hereof shall have been made. Upon such termination, all moneys remaining in the Escrow Fund shall be released to the County. SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by the applicable laws of the State of Florida. SECTION 19. SEVERABILITY. If anyone or more of the covenants or agreements provided in this Agreement on the part of the County or the Escrow Agent to be performed should be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such covenant or agreement shall be deemed and construed to be severable from the remaining covenants and agreements herein contained and shall in no way affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. SECTION 20. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, all or any of which shall be regarded for all purposes as one original and shall constitute and be but one and the same instrument. 9 SECTION 21.
