It is hereby found and determined that: (A) On July 11, 2017, the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Florida (the "Issuer") duly adopted Resolution No. 2017-141 (the "Original Resolution"), authorizing, among other things, the issuance by the Issuer of Tourist Development Tax Revenue Bonds from time to time. (B) Pursuant to the Original Resolution, the Issuer authorized the issuance of its Collier County, Florida Tourist Development Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2017 (the "Series 2017 Bonds") to finance costs of the Initial Project (as defined in the Original Resolution) and initiated bond validation proceedings in the Circuit Court for the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida, which Court issued a Final Judgment dated October 20, 2017, validating such Series 2017 Bonds; no appeal was taken with respect to such Final Judgment. (C) The Issuer previously found in the Original Resolution, among other things, that the Initial Project should be acquired, constructed and equipped in order to promote tourism and attract tourists within the Issuer and to improve the health, safety and welfare of the Issuer's inhabitants and that it was in the best interest of the Issuer to finance costs of the Initial Project through the issuance of the Series 2017 Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Original Resolution. (D) The Issuer deems it now to be an appropriate time to issue the Series 2017 Bonds to finance costs of the Initial Project; provided, however, because it is now calendar year 2018, the Series 2017 Bonds will be re-designated and issued as the Collier County, Florida Tourist Development Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2018 (the "Series 2018 Bonds") and all references to the Series 2017 Bonds in the Original Resolution and herein shall mean the Series 2018 Bonds.

(G) It is desirable for the Issuer to be able to advertise and award the Series 2018 Bonds at the most advantageous time and date which shall be determined by the County Manager upon the advice of the Financial Advisor; and, accordingly, the Issuer hereby determines to delegate the advertising and awarding of the Series 2018 Bonds to the County Manager within the parameters described herein. 2 (H) It is necessary and appropriate that the Board determine certain parameters for the terms and details of the Series 2018 Bonds and to delegate certain authority to the County Manager for the award of the Series 2018 Bonds and the approval of the terms of the Series 2018 Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof, of the Original Resolution and of the Official Notice of Sale. (I) In the event Bond Counsel to the Issuer shall determine that the Series 2018 Bonds have not been awarded competitively in accordance with the provisions of Section 281.385, Florida Statutes, the Board shall adopt such resolutions and make such findings as shall be necessary to authorize and ratify a negotiated sale of the Series 2018 Bonds in accordance with said Section 218.385, Florida Statutes. (J) It is necessary and desirable to amend the Original Resolution in certain respects (as so amended hereby and as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Resolution"). (K) The Series 2018 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 and secured by a lien upon and pledge of the Pledged Funds, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Resolution.

See"STRUCTURE"herein. ADJUSTMENT OF AMOUNTS AND MATURITIES The aggregate principal amount of each maturity of Bonds is subject to adjustment by the County after the receipt and opening of the bids for their purchase. Changes to be made after the opening of the bids will be communicated to the successful bidder directly prior to 8:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the date following the sale date. The County may cancel the sale of the Bonds or adjust the aggregate principal amount. The County may increase or decrease the principal amount of the Bonds or any maturity thereof by no more than the individual maturity or aggregate principal percentages, if any, shown in the Summary Table. This may include the elimination of one or more maturities. The County will consult with the successful bidder before adjusting the amount of any maturity of the Bonds or canceling the Bonds; however, the County reserves the sole right to make adjustments, within the limits described above, or cancel the sale of the Bonds. Adjustment to the size of the Bonds within the limits described above does not relieve the purchaser from its obligation to purchase all of the Bonds offered by the County. Each bid must specify the initial reoffering prices to the public of each maturity of Bonds. Adjustments may be made to the principal amounts based on the reoffering prices shown on the Parity System. In determining whether there will be any revision to the principal amount of or maturity of the Bonds subsequent to the bid opening and award, the County expects that changes may be made that are necessary to increase or decrease the principal amount of the Bonds to meet the County's funding objectives, all subject to the limitations set forth above. In the event that the principal amount of any maturity of the Bonds is revised after the award, the interest rate and reoffering price for each maturity and the Underwriter's Discount on the Bonds as submitted by the successful bidder shall be held constant. The "Underwriter's Discount" shall be defined as the difference between the purchase price of the Bonds submitted by the bidder and the price at which the Bonds will be issued to the public, calculated from information provided by the bidder, divided by the par amount of the Bonds bid. FORM AND PAYMENT The Bonds will be issued in fully registered, book-entry only form and a bond certificate for each maturity will be issued to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co. A book-entry system will be employed, evidencing ownership of the Bonds, with transfers of ownership effected on the records of DTC and its participants pursuant to rules and procedures adopted by DTC and its participants. The successful bidder, as a condition to delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the Bond certificates with DTC or the Registrar (as defined below), registered in the name of Cede & Co. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be payable by TD Bank, N.A., Cherry Hill, New Jersey, the paying agent and registrar (the "Paying Agent" or the "Registrar") for the Bonds by wire transfer or in clearinghouse funds to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal, premium, if any, and interest payments to the beneficial owners by participants of DTC will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial owners. Neither the County nor the Registrar will be responsible or liable for payments by DTC to its participants or by DTC participants to beneficial owners or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by DTC, its participants or persons acting through such participants. Principal of, and premium, if any, on the Bonds will be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the designated corporate office of the Registrar on the dates, in the years and amounts established in accordance with the award of the Bonds. Interest on the Bonds is payable on the dates shown in the Summary Table. The Paying Agent will mail interest payments on the Bonds on each interest payment date to the owners of the Bonds at the addresses listed on the registration books maintained by the Registrar for such purpose 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 proceeding the applicable payment date, as described in the Bond Resolution. So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, payments of principal, interest and any redemption premium on the Bonds will be made by the Paying Agent to DTC or its nominee. PRELIMINARY OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND FINAL OFFICIAL STATEMENT The County has authorized the preparation and distribution of a Preliminary Official Statement containing information relating to the Bonds. The Preliminary Official Statement has been deemed final by the County as required by Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The County will furnish the successful bidder on the date of closing, with its certificate as to the completeness and accuracy of the Official Statement. The Preliminary Official Statement and this Official Notice of Sale and any other information concerning the proposed financing will be available from PFM Financial Advisors LLC, Financial Advisor to the County, 2222 Ponce de Leon Boulevard, Third Floor, Coral Gables, Florida 33134, telephone: (786) 671-7480, facsimile: (305) 448-7131 or email masvidals@pfm.com. The Preliminary Official Statement, when amended to reflect the actual amount of the Bonds sold, the interest rates specified by the successful bidder and the price or yield at which the successful bidder will reoffer the Bonds to the public, together with any other information required by law, will constitute a final "Official Statement" with respect to the Bonds as that term is defined in Rule 15c2-12. The County shall furnish at its expense within seven (7) business days after the Bonds have been awarded to the successful bidder no more than 100 copies of the final Official Statement. Additional copies of the Official Statement may be provided at the request and expense of the winning bidder. If the Bonds are awarded to a syndicate, the County will designate the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate as its agent for purposes of distributing copies of the Official Statement to each participating underwriter. Any underwriter submitting a bid with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted, it shall accept such designation and shall enter into a contractual relationship with all participating underwriters for the purpose of assuring the receipt and distribution by each participating underwriter of the Official Statement. LEGAL OPINIONS The Bonds will be sold subject to the opinion of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., the County's Bond Counsel, as to the legality thereof and such opinion will be furnished without cost to the purchaser and all bids will be so conditioned. A form of Bond Counsel's opinion is attached to the Preliminary Official Statement as Appendix D. Certain matters will be passed on for the County by Jeffrey A. Klatzkow, Esq., County Attorney and Bryant Miller Olive P.A., the County's Disclosure Counsel. A legal opinion (or reliance letter thereon) of Bryant Miller Olive P.A., Tampa, Florida, Disclosure Counsel, and a legal opinion of Jeffrey A. Klatzkow, Esq., County Attorney, with respect to certain matters concerning the Official Statement will be furnished without charge to the successful bidder at the time of delivery of the Bonds. MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE OPTION The purchase of municipal bond insurance, if available, will be at the option and expense of the bidder. The successful bidder will be responsible for the payment of all costs associated with any such insurance, including the premium charged by the insurer. The bidder understands, by submission of its bid, that the bidder is solely responsible for the selection of any insurer and for all negotiations with the insurer as to the premium to be paid. If all or a portion of the Bonds are awarded on an insured basis, reference to the provisions of neither the Bond Resolution nor any other financing document will be altered nor will the County consent to make additional representations, undertakings or warranties. In addition, if the successful bidder is arranging for bond insurance for all or a portion of the Bonds, it also shall provide the amount of the premium to be paid and certification that the present value of the premium is less than the present value of the interest reasonably expected to be saved as a result of the insurance and that the premium does not exceed a reasonable arms-length charge for the transfer of credit risk accomplished through bond insurance. BIDDING PROCEDURE Only electronic bids submitted via the Parity System will be accepted. No other provider of electronic bidding services will be accepted. No bid delivered in person or by facsimile directly to the County will be accepted. Bidders are permitted to submit bids for the Bonds during the bidding time period, provided they are eligible to bid as described under "GENERAL" above. Each electronic bid submitted via the Parity System shall be deemed an irrevocable offer in response to this Official Notice of Sale and shall be binding upon the bidder as if made by a signed, sealed bid delivered to the County. All bids remain firm until an award is made. FORM OF BID Bidders must bid to purchase all maturities of the Bonds. Each bid must specify (1) an annual rate of interest for each maturity, (2) reoffering price or yield for each maturity and (3) a dollar purchase price for the entire issue of the Bonds. No more than one (1) bid from any bidder will be considered. A bidder must specify the rate or rates of interest per annum (with no more than one rate of interest per maturity), which the Bonds are to bear, to be expressed in multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1%. Any number of interest rates may be named, but the Bonds of each maturity must bear interest at the same single rate for all bonds of that maturity. Each bid for the Bonds must meet the minimum and maximum reoffering price criteria shown in the Summary Table on a maturity and aggregate basis. Each bidder must specify, as part of its bid, the prices or yields at which a substantial amount (i.e., at least 10%) of the Bonds of each maturity will be offered and sold to the public. Reoffering prices presented as a part of the bids will not be used in computing the bidder's true interest cost. As promptly as reasonably possible after bids are received, the County will notify the successful bidder that it is the apparent winner. AWARD OF BID The County expects to award the Bonds to the winning bidder as soon as practicable after the bids are opened on the sale date. Bids may not be withdrawn prior to the award. Unless all bids are rejected, the Bonds will be awarded by the County on the sale date to the bidder whose bid complies with this Official Notice of Sale and results in the lowest true interest cost ("TIC") to the County. The lowest TIC will be determined by doubling the semi-annual interest rate, compounded semi-annually, necessary to discount the debt service payments from the payment dates to the dated date of the Bonds and to the aggregate purchase price of the Bonds. If two or more responsible bidders offer to purchase the Bonds at the same lowest TIC, the County will award the Bonds to one of such bidders by lot. Only the final bid submitted by any bidder through the Parity System will be considered. The right reserved to the County shall be final and binding upon all bidders with respect to the form and adequacy of any proposal received and as in its conformity to the terms of this Official Notice of Sale. RIGHT OF REJECTION THE COUNTY RESERVES THE RIGHT, IN ITS DISCRETION, TO REJECT ANY AND ALL BIDS, FOR ANY REASON, AND TO WAIVE IRREGULARITY OR INFORMALITY IN ANY BID. DELIVERY AND PAYMENT Delivery of the Bonds will be made by the County to DTC in book-entry only form, in New York, New York on or about the delivery date shown in the Summary Table, or such other date agreed upon by the County and the successful bidder. Payment for the Bonds must be made in Federal Funds or other funds immediately available to the County at the time of delivery of the Bonds. Any expenses incurred in providing immediate funds, whether by transfer of Federal Funds or otherwise, will be borne by the purchaser. The County intends to conduct the closing in Naples, Florida. RIGHT OF CANCELLATION The successful bidder will have the right, at its option, to cancel its obligation to purchase the Bonds if the Registrar fails to authenticate the Bonds and tender the same for delivery within 60 days from the date of sale thereof, and in such event the successful bidder will be entitled to the return of the Good Faith Deposit accompanying its bid. GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT The successful bidder for the Bonds is required to submit its Good Faith Deposit to the County in the form of a wire transfer in federal funds not later than 2:30 p.m., Eastern Daylight Savings Time, on the day of the award. If such deposit is not received by that time, the County may reject such bid and award the Bonds to the bidder that submitted the next best bid in accordance with the terms of the Official Notice of Sale. Wiring instructions for the Good Faith Deposit are as follows: Bank: First Florida Integrity Bank Routing #: 067016325 Acct. Name: Collier County BOCC-Concentration Account Acct. #: 1056407 REF: 2018 Tourist Development Tax Revenue Bonds Closing Attention: Ronald S. Dortch The Good Faith Deposit so wired will be retained by the County until the delivery of such Bonds, at which time the good faith deposit will be applied against the purchase price of such Bonds or the Good Faith Deposit will be retained by the County as partial liquidated damages in the event of the failure of the successful bidder to take up and pay for such Bonds in compliance with the terms of the Official Notice of Sale and of its bid. The County will pay no interest on the good faith deposit. The balance of the purchase price must be wired in federal funds to the account detailed in the closing memorandum provided by the County to the successful purchaser, simultaneously with delivery of such Bonds. CUSIP NUMBERS It is anticipated that CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither failure to print such numbers on any Bonds nor any error with respect thereto will constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the purchaser thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds. Bond Counsel will not review or express any opinion as to the correctness of such CUSIP numbers. The policies of the CUSIP Service Bureau will govern the assignment of specific numbers to the Bonds. The County's Financial Advisor will be responsible for applying for and obtaining CUSIP numbers for the Bonds. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds will be paid for by the County; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers will be the responsibility of and will be paid for by the successful bidder. BLUE SKY The County has not undertaken to register the Bonds under the securities laws of any state, nor investigated the eligibility of any institution or person to purchase or participate in the underwriting of the Bonds under any applicable legal investment, insurance, banking or other laws. By submitting a bid for the Bonds, the successful bidder represents that the sale of the Bonds in states other than Florida will be made only under exemptions from registration or, wherever necessary, the successful bidder will register the Bonds in accordance with the securities laws of the state in which the Bonds are offered or sold. The County agrees to cooperate with the successful bidder, at the bidder's written request and expense, in registering the Bonds or obtaining an exemption from registration in any state where such action is necessary; provided, however, that the County shall not be required to consent to suit or to service of process in any jurisdiction. CERTAIN DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASER Section 218.38(1)(b)(2), Florida Statutes, requires that the successful purchaser file a statement with the County containing information with respect to any fee, bonus or gratuity paid, in connection with the Bonds, by any underwriter or financial consultant to any person not regularly employed or engaged by such underwriter or consultant. Receipt of such statement is a condition precedent to the delivery of the Bonds to such successful bidder. The winning bidder must (1) complete the Truth-in-Bonding Statement provided by Bond Counsel (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A) and (2) indicate whether such bidder has paid any finder's fee to any person in connection with the sale of the Bonds in accordance with Section 218.386, Florida Statutes. ESTABLISHMENT OF ISSUE PRICE The winning bidder shall assist the County in establishing the issue price of the Bonds and shall execute and deliver to the County on or prior to the closing date for the Bonds an "issue price" or similar certificate setting forth the reasonably expected initial offering prices to the public or the actual sales price or prices of the Bonds, together with the supporting pricing wires or equivalent communications, substantially in the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be appropriate or necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the winning bidder, the County and Bond Counsel. The County intends that the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.148- 1(f)(3)(i) (defining "competitive sale" for purposes of establishing the issue price of the Bonds) will apply to the initial sale of the Bonds ("competitive sale requirements") because: (1) the County has disseminated this Official Notice of Sale to potential underwriters in a manner that is reasonably designed to reach potential underwriters; (2) all bidders shall have an equal opportunity to bid; (3) the County may receive bids from at least three underwriters of municipal bonds who have established industry reputations for underwriting new issuances of municipal bonds; and (4) the County anticipates awarding the sale of the Bonds to the bidder who submits a firm offer to purchase the Bonds at the lowest true interest cost, as set forth in this Official Notice of Sale. Any bid submitted pursuant to this Official Notice of Sale shall be considered a firm offer for the purchase of the Bonds, as specified in the bid. BY SUBMITTING A BID FOR THE BONDS, A BIDDER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE COUNTY THAT THE BIDDER HAS AN ESTABLISHED INDUSTRY REPUTATION FOR UNDERWRITING NEW ISSUANCES OF MUNICIPAL BONDS SUCH AS THE BONDS AND SUCH BIDDER'S BID IS SUBMITTED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH BIDDER BY AN OFFICER OR AGENT WHO IS DULY AUTHORIZED TO BIND THE BIDDER TO A LEGAL, VALID AND ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE BONDS. Once the bids are communicated electronically via the Parity System to the County, each bid will constitute an irrevocable offer to purchase the Bonds on the terms herein and therein provided. In the event that the competitive sale requirements are not satisfied, the County shall so advise the winning bidder. In such case, the County shall treat the first price at which 10% of a maturity of the Bonds is sold to the public (the "10% test") as the issue price of that maturity, applied on a maturity-by-maturity basis. The winning bidder shall advise the County if any maturity of the Bonds satisfies the 10% test as of the date and time of the award of the Bonds. The County will not require bidders to comply with the "hold-the-offering-price rule" set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-1(f)(2)(ii) and therefore does not intend to use the initial offering price to the public as of the sale date of any maturity of the Bonds as the issue price of that maturity. Bids will not be subject to cancellation in the event that the competitive sale requirements are not satisfied; provided, however, the County reserves the right to reject any and all bids, for any reason, as set forth under "RIGHT OF REJECTION" herein. Bidders should prepare their bids on the assumption that all of the maturities of the Bonds will be subject to the 10%test in order to establish the issue price of the Bonds. If the competitive sale requirements are not satisfied, then until the 10% test has been satisfied as to each maturity of the Bonds, the winning bidder agrees to promptly report to the County the prices at which the unsold Bonds of each maturity have been sold to the public. That reporting obligation shall continue, whether or not the closing date for the Bonds has occurred, until the 10% test has been satisfied for each maturity or until all Bonds of that maturity have been sold. By submitting a bid and if the competitive sale requirements are not met, each bidder confirms that: (i) any agreement among underwriters, any selling group agreement and each retail distribution agreement (to which the bidder is a party) relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter, each dealer who is a member of the selling group, and each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement, as applicable, to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted to it until it is notified by the winning bidder that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public, if and for so long as directed by the winning bidder and as set forth in the related pricing wires, and (ii) any agreement among underwriters relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public, together with the related pricing wires, contains or will contain language obligating each underwriter that is a party to a retail distribution agreement to be employed in connection with the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to require each broker-dealer that is a party to such retail distribution agreement to report the prices at which it sells to the public the unsold Bonds of each maturity allotted to it until it is notified by the winning bidder or such underwriter that either the 10% test has been satisfied as to the Bonds of that maturity or all Bonds of that maturity have been sold to the public, if and for so long as directed by the winning bidder or such underwriter and as set forth in the related pricing wires. Sales of any Bonds to any person that is a related party to an underwriter shall not constitute sales to the public for purposes of this Official Notice of Sale. Further, for purposes of this Official Notice of Sale: (i) "public" means any person other than an underwriter or a related party, (ii) "underwriter" means (A) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract (i.e. this Official Notice of Sale) with the County (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public and (B) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (A) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a retail distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the public), (iii) a purchaser of any of the Bonds is a "related party" to an underwriter if the underwriter and the purchaser are subject, directly or indirectly, to (i) at least 50% common ownership of the voting power or the total value of their stock, if both entities are corporations (including direct ownership by one corporation of another), (ii) more than 50% common ownership of their capital interests or profits interests, if both entities are partnerships (including direct ownership by one partnership of another), or (iii) more than 50% common ownership of the value of the outstanding stock of the corporation or the capital interests or profit interests of the partnership, as applicable, if one entity is a corporation and the other entity is a partnership (including direct ownership of the applicable stock or interests by one entity of the other), and (iv) "sale date" means the date that the Bonds are awarded by the County to the winning bidder. CONTINUING DISCLOSURE The County has covenanted to provide ongoing disclosure in accordance with Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The specific nature of the information to be contained in the annual report and the notices of material events are set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate which is reproduced in its entirety in Appendix E attached to the Preliminary Official Statement for the Bonds. The covenants have been undertaken by the County in order to assist the successful purchaser in complying with clause (b) (5) of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. CERTIFICATE The County will deliver to the purchaser of the Bonds a certificate of an official of the County, dated the date of delivery of said Bonds, stating that as of the date thereof, to the best of the knowledge and belief of said official, the Official Statement does not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and further certifying that the signatory knows of no material adverse change in the financial condition of the County. CHOICE OF LAW Any litigation or claim arising out of any bid submitted (regardless of the means of submission) pursuant to this Official Notice of Sale shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The venue situs for any such action shall be the state courts of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida.

Interest on the Series 2018 Bonds will be payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year (the "Interest Dates"), commencing on April 1, 2019. The principal of or Redemption Price, if applicable, on the Series 2018 Bonds is payable upon presentation and surrender of the Series 2018 Bonds at the designated corporate trust office of TD Bank, N.A., (the "Paying Agent" and "Registrar"). Interest on the Series 2018 Bonds shall be payable by check or draft of the Paying Agent, made payable and mailed to the Holder in whose name such Series 2018 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 the applicable Interest Date, or, at the request of such Holder, by bank wire transfer to the account of such Holder.

All payments of principal, premium, if applicable, and interest on the Series 2018 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. The Series 2018 Bonds are being issued as fully-registered bonds in denominations of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof and, when issued, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as registered owner and nominee of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"). DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2018 Bonds. Purchasers of the Series 2018 Bonds will not receive certificates representing their interests in the Series 2018 Bonds purchased. Ownership by the Beneficial Owners(as hereinafter defined) of the Series 2018 Bonds will be evidenced by book-entry only. Principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2018 Bonds will be paid by the Paying Agent to DTC, which in turn will remit such principal, redemption premium,if any, and interest payments to its participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners of the Series 2018 Bonds.

See "DESCRIPTION OF THE SERIES 2018 BONDS - Book-Entry Only System"herein. Book-Entry Only System THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CONCERNING DTC AND DTC'S BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM HAS BEEN OBTAINED FROM SOURCES THAT THE COUNTY BELIEVES TO BE RELIABLE. THE COUNTY TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY THEREOF. SO LONG AS CEDE & CO. IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE SERIES 2018 BONDS, AS NOMINEE OF DTC, CERTAIN REFERENCES IN THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT TO THE SERIES 2018 BONDHOLDERS OR REGISTERED OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2018 BONDS SHALL MEAN CEDE & CO. AND WILL NOT MEAN THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2018 BONDS. THE DESCRIPTION WHICH FOLLOWS OF THE PROCEDURES AND RECORD KEEPING WITH RESPECT 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 3 TO BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2018 BONDS, PAYMENT OF INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL ON THE SERIES 2018 BONDS TO DIRECT PARTICIPANTS (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED) OR BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2018 BONDS, CONFIRMATION AND TRANSFER OF BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTERESTS IN THE SERIES 2018 BONDS, AND OTHER RELATED TRANSACTIONS BY AND BETWEEN DTC, THE DIRECT PARTICIPANTS AND BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF THE SERIES 2018 BONDS IS BASED SOLELY ON INFORMATION FURNISHED BY DTC. ACCORDINGLY, THE COUNTY NEITHER MAKES NOR CAN MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING THESE MATTERS. DTC will act as securities depository for the Series 2018 Bonds. The Series 2018 Bonds will be issued as fully-registered securities 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 2018 Bonds certificate will be issued for each maturity of the Series 2018 Bonds in the aggregate principal amount thereof,and will be deposited with DTC. DTC, the world's largest securities 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 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.6 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 ("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 and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant,either directly or indirectly("Indirect Participants"). The Direct Participants and the Indirect Participants are collectively referred to herein as the "DTC Participants." DTC has an S&P Global Inc. ("S&P") rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its DTC Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com. Purchases of Series 2018 Bonds under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Series 2018 Bonds on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Series 2018 Bondholder ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Series 2018 Bonds are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 4 not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Series 2018 Bonds,except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Series 2018 Bonds is discontinued. To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Series 2018 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 the Series 2018 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 2018 Bonds; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Series 2018 Bonds are credited,which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping 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 among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial Owners of Series 2018 Bonds may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Series 2018 Bonds, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the security documents. For example,Beneficial Owners of Series 2018 Bonds may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Series 2018 Bonds for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the Registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them. Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Series 2018 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 Series 2018 Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Payment of principal and interest on the Series 2018 Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the County, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by DTC 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 DTC Participant and not of DTC or the County, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal and redemption proceeds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the County, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Series 2018 Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the County. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained,the Series 2018 Bonds are required to be printed and delivered. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 5 The County may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Series 2018 Bonds certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC. Redemption of Series 2018 Bonds Optional Redemption. The Series 2018 Bonds maturing on or after October 1,2029 are subject to redemption in whole or in part, at any time, on or after October 1, 2028, in such order of maturities as may be determined by the County (less than all of a single maturity to be selected by lot), at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2018 Bonds to be redeemed plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption,without premium. Mandatory Redemption. The Series 2018 Bonds maturing on October 1, are subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, in part by lot, in such manner as the Paying Agent may deem appropriate, prior to maturity on October 1 of each year, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount of such Series 2018 Bonds to be redeemed,without premium, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption,in the years and in the amounts as follows: Year Amount * *Maturity Selection of Series 2018 Bonds to be Redeemed. The Series 2018 Bonds shall be redeemed only in the principal amount of $5,000 each and integral multiples thereof. The County shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Registrar)notify the Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the Outstanding Bonds of a single maturity, the particular Series 2018 Bonds or portions of Series 2018 Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the redemption date by the Registrar from the Outstanding Bonds of the maturity or maturities designated by the County by such method as the Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of Series 2018 Bonds or portions of Series 2018 Bonds in principal amounts of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof. If less than all of a Term Bond is to be redeemed the aggregate principal amount to be redeemed shall be allocated to the Amortization Installments on a pro-rata basis unless the County,in its discretion,designates a different allocation.

Moneys in this account shall be deposited or credited on or before the 25th day of each month in the following manner and order of priority: (1) Interest Account. There shall be deposited to the Interest Account an amount which shall be sufficient to pay one-sixth (1/6) of the interest becoming due on all Bonds Outstanding (except as to Capital Appreciation Bonds) on the next succeeding Interest Date. With respect to the initial Interest Date following the issuance of a Series of Bonds, the County shall deposit each month an amount which shall be sufficient to pay a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of months until such Interest Date, of the interest becoming due on such Bonds on the initial Interest Date. Moneys in the Interest Account shall be used to pay interest on the Bonds as and when the same become due, whether by redemption or otherwise, and for no other purpose. All Hedge Receipts and Federal Subsidy Payments shall be deposited directly to the Interest Account upon receipt.With respect to interest on Bonds which the County has determined are subject to a Hedge Payment, interest on such Bonds during the term of the Qualified Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to include the corresponding Hedge Payments. Moneys in the Interest Account shall be applied by the County (a) for deposit with the Paying Agent to pay the interest on the Bonds on or prior to the date the same shall become due, whether by maturity, redemption or otherwise, and (b) for Hedge 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 10 Payments. Any Federal Subsidy Payments deposited to the Interest Account shall be deemed to have been applied to the payment of interest on the Federal Subsidy Bonds to which such Payments relate. The County shall adjust the amount of the deposit to the Interest Account not later than a month immediately preceding any Interest Date so as to provide sufficient moneys in the Interest Account to pay the interest on the Bonds coming due on such Interest Date. No further deposit need be made to the Interest Account when the moneys therein are equal to the interest coming due on the Outstanding Bonds on the next succeeding Interest Date. With respect to debt service on any Bonds which are subject to a Qualified Hedge Agreement, any Hedge Payments due to the Counterparty to such Qualified Hedge Agreement relating to such Bonds shall be paid to the Counterparty to such Qualified Hedge Agreement on a parity basis with the aforesaid required payments into the Debt Service Fund. In computing the interest on Variable Rate Bonds which shall accrue during a calendar month, the interest rate on such Variable Rate Bonds shall be assumed to be(A) if such Variable Rate Bonds have been Outstanding for at least 24 months prior to the commencement of such calendar month, the highest average interest rate borne by such Variable Rate Bonds for any 30-day period, and (B) if such Variable Rate Bonds have not been Outstanding for at least 24 months prior to the date of calculation,the Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index most recently published prior to the commencement of such calendar month. (2) Principal Account. Commencing in the month which is one year prior to the first principal due date(or if the first principal due date is less than one year from the date of issuance of the Bonds, the month immediately following the issuance of the Bonds), the County shall next deposit into the Principal Account an amount which shall be sufficient to pay one-twelfth(1/12) of the principal on Serial Bonds outstanding next due. With respect to the initial principal payment date following the issuance of a Series of Bonds, the County shall deposit each month an amount which shall be sufficient to pay a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of months until such principal payment date, of the principal becoming due on such Bonds on the initial principal payment date. Moneys in the Principal Account shall be applied by the County for deposit with the Paying Agent to pay the principal of the Bonds on or prior to the date the same shall mature, and for no other purpose. Serial Capital Appreciation Bonds shall be payable from the Principal Account in the years in which such Bonds mature and monthly payments into the Principal Account on account of such Bonds shall commence in the twelfth month immediately preceding the maturity date of such Bonds. The County shall adjust the amount of the deposit to the Principal Account not later than the month immediately preceding any principal payment date so as to provide sufficient moneys in the Principal Account to pay the principal on the Bonds becoming due on such principal payment date. No further deposit need be made to the Principal Account when the moneys therein are equal to the principal coming due on the Outstanding Bonds on the next succeeding principal payment date. (3) Bond Amortization Account. Commencing in the month which is one year prior to any Amortization Installment due date, there shall be deposited or credited to the Bond Amortization Account an amount which shall be sufficient to pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the Amortization Installment next due. With respect to the initial Amortization Installment date following the issuance of a Series of Bonds, the County shall deposit each month an amount which shall be sufficient to pay a fraction, the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is the number of months until such Amortization Installment date, of the Amortization Installment for such Amortization Installment date. Moneys in the Bond Amortization Account 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 11 shall be used to purchase or redeem Term Bonds in the manner provided in the Resolution or as provided by Supplemental Resolution, and for no other purpose.

No further deposit need be made to the Bond Amortization Account when the moneys therein are equal to the Amortization Installments coming due on the Outstanding Bonds on the next succeeding Amortization Installment due date. Payments to the Bond Amortization Account shall be on a parity with payments to the Principal Account. Amounts accumulated in the Bond Amortization Account with respect to any Amortization Installment (together with amounts accumulated in the Interest Account with respect to interest, if any, on the Term Bonds for which such Amortization Installment was established) may be applied by the County, on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day preceding the due date of such Amortization Installment, (a) to the purchase of Term Bonds of the Series and maturity for which such Amortization Installment was established at a price not exceeding par plus accrued interest, or (b) to the redemption at the applicable Redemption Prices of such Term Bonds, if then redeemable by their terms at a price not exceeding par plus accrued interest. The applicable Redemption Price (or principal amount of maturing Term Bonds) of any Term Bonds so purchased or redeemed shall be deemed to constitute part of the Bond Amortization Account until such Amortization Installment date, for the purposes of calculating the amount of such Account. As soon as practicable after the sixtieth (60th) day preceding the due date of any such Amortization Installment, the County shall proceed to call for redemption on such due date, by causing notice to be given as provided in Section 3.03 hereof, Term Bonds of the Series and maturity for which such Amortization Installment was established (except in the case of Term Bonds maturing on an Amortization Installment date) in such amount as shall be necessary to complete the retirement of the unsatisfied balance of such Amortization Installment. The County shall pay out of the Bond Amortization Account and the Interest Account to the appropriate Paying Agents, on or before the day preceding such redemption date (or maturity date), the amount required for the redemption(or for the payment of such Term Bonds then maturing),and such amount shall be applied by such Paying Agents to such redemption (or payment). All expenses in connection with the purchase or redemption of Term Bonds shall be paid by the County from the Restricted Revenue Fund. (4) Reserve Account.

On or prior to each principal payment date and Interest Date for the Bonds (in no event earlier than the 25th day of the month next preceding such payment date), moneys in the Reserve Account shall be applied by the County to the payment of the 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 12 principal of or Redemption Price,if applicable, and interest on the Bonds to the extent moneys in the Interest Account, the Principal Account and Bond Amortization Account shall be insufficient for such purposes. Whenever there shall be surplus moneys in the Reserve Account by reason of a decrease in the Reserve Account Requirement or a result of a deposit in the Reserve Account of a Reserve Account Letter of Credit or a Reserve Account Insurance Policy, such surplus moneys, to the extent practicable, shall be deposited by the County into the Restricted Revenue Account and applied as directed by Bond Counsel. The County shall promptly inform each*Insurer and Credit Bank of any draw upon the Reserve Account for purposes of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds. Upon issuance of any Series of Bonds under the Resolution, the County shall, fund the Reserve Account in an amount at least equal to the applicable Reserve Account Requirement in accordance with the Resolution.

Any moneys remaining in the Unrestricted Revenue Account on each Interest Date may be used for any lawful purpose in accordance with the Act. (B) The County, in its discretion, may use moneys in the Principal Account, the Bond Amortization Account and the Interest Account to purchase or redeem Outstanding Bonds coming due on the next principal payment date, provided such purchase or redemption does not adversely affect the County's ability to pay the principal or interest coming due on such principal payment date on the Bonds not so purchased or redeemed.

Any person who is taxable who fails or refuses to charge and collect from the person paying any rental or lease such tourist development taxes, either by himself or through his agents or employees, shall, in addition to being personally liable for the payment of such taxes, be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in Sections 775.082 or 775.083, Florida Statutes. Such tourist development taxes shall constitute a lien on the property of the lessee, customer, or tenant in the same manner as, and shall be collectible as are, liens authorized and imposed in Sections 713.67, 713.68 and 713.69,Florida Statutes. The County levies each of the First Cent, the Second Cent, the Third Cent, the Fourth Cent and the Fifth Cent (all as hereinafter defined). The revenues of all such cents are pledged to secure the Bonds, only to the extent permitted by the Act. See"VALIDATION"herein. Pursuant to Section 125.0104(3)(c), Florida Statutes, counties are authorized to levy a tourist development tax at a rate of up to 2% on the exercise of the taxable privilege described above if it was approved by referendum, as required by Section 125.0104(6), Florida Statutes(the "First Cent and Second Cent"). The County has imposed such 2% tourist development tax. Pursuant to Section 125.0104(3)(d), Florida Statutes, counties are authorized to levy an additional tourist development tax at a rate of 1%if there was either extraordinary approval of their respective governing boards, or referendum approval (the "Third Cent"), provided the First Cent and the Second Cent had been levied for at least three years prior to the imposition of the Third Cent. The County has imposed such 1% additional tourist development tax. The County must use the First Cent,Second Cent and Third Cent for the following purposes: (a) To acquire, construct, extend, enlarge, remodel, repair, improve, maintain, operate, or promote one or more: (i) publicly owned and operated convention centers,sports stadiums, sports arenas, coliseums, or auditoriums within the boundaries of the County or special taxing district in which the tax is levied, (ii) auditoriums that are publicly owned and open to the public,but operated by an organization that is exempt from federal taxation and within the boundaries of the County or special taxing district in which the tax is levied,or 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 17 (iii) aquariums or museums that are publicly owned and operated or owned and operated by nonprofit organizations and open to the public,within the boundaries of the County or special taxing district in which the tax is levied. (b) To promote zoological parks that are publicly owned and operated or owned and operated by not-for-profit organizations and open to the public. (c) To promote and advertise tourism in the State, nationally, and internationally. However, if the tax revenues are expended for an activity, service, venue, or event, the activity, service, venue, or event must have as one of its main purposes the attraction of tourists as evidenced by the promotion of the activity, service,venue,or event to tourists. (d) To fund convention bureaus, tourist bureaus, tourist information centers, and news bureaus as county agencies or by contract with the chambers of commerce or similar associations in the county. This may include any indirect administrative costs for services performed by the County on behalf of the promotion agency. (e) To finance beach park facilities or beach improvement, maintenance, renourishment, restoration, and erosion control, including shoreline protection, enhancement, cleanup, or restoration of inland lakes and rivers to which there is public access as those uses relate to the physical preservation of the beach, shorelines, or inland lake or river. However, any funds identified by a county as the local matching source for beach renourishment, restoration, or erosion control projects included in the long- range budget plan of the state's Beach Management Plan,pursuant to Section 161.091,Florida Statutes,or funds contractually obligated by a county in the financial plan for a federally authorized shore protection project may not be used or loaned for any other purpose.In counties of fewer than 100,000 population,up to 10 percent of tourist development tax revenues may be used for beach park facilities. Pursuant to Section 125.0104(3)(1), Florida Statutes, counties are authorized to levy an additional tourist development tax at a rate of 1%if there is approval by a majority vote of such county's governing board (the "Fourth Cent," the proceeds of which are referred to herein as "Fourth Cent Revenues"). The County has imposed such 1%additional tourist development tax. Fourth Cent Revenues may be used to: (a) Pay the debt service on bonds issued to finance the construction, reconstruction, or renovation of a professional sports franchise facility, or the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, or renovation of a retained spring training franchise facility,either publicly owned and operated,or publicly owned and operated by the owner of a professional sports franchise or other lessee with sufficient expertise or financial capability to operate such facility, and to pay the planning and design costs incurred prior to the issuance of such bonds. (b) Pay the debt service on bonds issued to finance the construction, reconstruction, or renovation of a convention center,and to pay the planning and design costs incurred prior to the issuance of such bonds. (c) Pay the operation and maintenance costs of a convention center for a period of up to ten (10) years. Only counties that have elected to levy the tax for the purposes authorized in paragraph (b) above may use the tax for the purposes enumerated in this paragraph. Any county that elects to levy the tax for the purposes authorized in paragraph (b) after July 1,2000,may use the proceeds of the tax to pay the operation and maintenance costs of a convention center for the life of the bonds. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 18 (d) Promote and advertise tourism in the State and nationally and internationally;however, if Fourth Cent Revenues are expended for an activity,service,venue,or event,the activity,service,venue, or event shall have as one of its main purposes the attraction of tourists as evidenced by the promotion of the activity,service,venue, or event to tourists. A county levying the Fourth Cent may not expend any ad valorem revenues for such construction,reconstruction,or renovation. Pursuant to Section 125.0104(3)(n),Florida Statutes,a county which has imposed the Fourth Cent, is authorized to levy an additional tourist development tax at a rate up to 1% if there is a majority plus one vote of the governing board of such county (the "Fifth Cent," the proceeds of which are referred to herein as "Fifth Cent Revenues"). The County has imposed such 1% additional tourist development tax. Fifth Cent Revenues may be used for the following purposes: (a) Pay the debt service on bonds issued to finance: (i) The construction,reconstruction,or renovation of a facility either publicly owned and operated, or publicly owned and operated by the owner of a professional sports franchise or other lessee with sufficient expertise or financial capability to operate such facility,and to pay the planning and design costs incurred prior to the issuance of such bonds for a new professional sports franchise as defined in Section 288.1162,Florida Statutes. (ii) The acquisition, construction, reconstruction, or renovation of a facility either publicly owned and operated, or publicly owned and operated by the owner of a professional sports franchise or other lessee with sufficient expertise or financial capability to operate such facility,and to pay the planning and design costs incurred prior to the issuance of such bonds for a retained spring training franchise. (b) Promote and advertise tourism in the State and nationally and internationally;however, if Fifth Cent Revenues are expended for an activity, service, venue, or event, the activity, service, venue, or event shall have as one of its main purposes the attraction of tourists as evidenced by the promotion of the activity,service,venue,or event to tourists. A county that imposes the Fifth Cent may not expend any ad valorem tax revenues for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, or renovation of a facility for which such Fifth Cent Revenues are used pursuant to subparagraph(a). Pursuant to Section 125.0104(3)(f) and the Tourist Development Tax Ordinance, the tourist development tax shall be charged by the person receiving the consideration for the lease or rental,it shall be collected from the lessee,tenant,or customer at the time of payment of the consideration for such lease or rental,and it becomes County funds at the moment of collection. The tax shall not apply to any person who has entered into a bona fide written lease for longer than six (6) months in duration for continuous residence at any one (1) hotel, motel, apartment house, multiple unit structure (e.g., duplex, triplex, quadraplex,condominium),rooming house,tourist,or mobile home court,single-family dwelling,garage apartment,beach house or cottage, cooperatively owned apartment, condominium unit parcel, or mobile home. In determining whether a lease agreement is bona fide, the county will examine pertinent factors, including, but not limited to, the following: whether the amount of rent provided for the lease is 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 19 comparable to prevailing market rental rates,and whether the tenant occupied the premises for the entire term of the lease. The County Tax Collector takes on this responsibility within the County. Pursuant to the County's Tourist Development Tax Ordinance, the Tourist Development Tax Revenues received by the County shall be used to fund the County's Tourist Development Plan in accordance with the following: (a) The Board may utilize Tourist Development Tax Revenues for all expenditures authorized by law, and may specifically utilize Fund 195 (TDT Beach Renourishment Fund) to fund pass and inlet maintenance, and all funding allocations of Tourist Development Tax Revenues must be conducted in compliance with Section 125.0104,Florida Statutes. (b) The Board may utilize a portion of Tourist Development Tax Revenues to pay for authorized administrative costs. (i) Tourism promotion administrative costs shall not exceed 32% of the total amount collected each fiscal year for Destination Promotion revenue. This amount may be amended upwardly or downwardly each budget year provided that the amount of the budget does not exceed 32%of the total revenue for Destination Promotion. (ii) Project Management, Indirect Overhead, and Program Administration in support of Fund 195 (TDT Beach Renourishment Fund) and Fund 183 (TDT Beach Park Facilities Fund) shall not exceed 15% of revenue for Beaches. This amount may be amended upwardly or downwardly each budget year provided that the amount of the budget does not exceed 15%of the total revenue for Beaches. (c) Tourist Development Tax Revenues may be pledged to secure and liquidate revenue bonds in accordance with the provisions of Section 125.0104, Florida Statutes. Such revenue bonds and revenue refunding bonds may be authorized and issued in such principal amounts, with such interest rates and maturity dates, and subject to such other terms, conditions and covenants as the Board shall provide. This paragraph shall be full and complete authority for accomplishing such purposes, but such authority shall be supplemental and additional to, and not in derogation of, any powers now existing or later conferred under law. (d) In the event bonds are issued by the County for any of the purposes enumerated by the Tourist Development Plan, the amount of Tourist Development Tax Revenues used to pay debt service on such bonds may exceed the percentages provided for the purpose for which such bonds were issued;provided,however, the maximum annual debt service on such bonds, together with any other obligations of the County which were issued to finance improvements for the same purpose and which are secured by Tourist Development Tax Revenues, must not exceed the stated percentage of Tourist Development Tax Revenues provided in the Tourist Development Plan for such purposes, as calculated as of the date of sale of such bonds. For purposes of performing the calculations described in this paragraph, the amount of Tourist Development Tax Revenues shall be assumed to be the amount provided as such in the County's immediately preceding annual audit, plus,if the levy of such tax was imposed or increased subsequent to the beginning of the period which was audited, an amount equal to the estimate by the County Manager of the moneys the County would have received 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 20 if the tax imposition or increase had been in effect during the entire audit period. At or prior to the issuance of bonds the County Manager shall provide a certificate as to the findings required in this paragraph,which certificate shall be conclusive as to all matters provided herein. The County's current tourist development plan provides for the following distributions of TDT Revenues: Distribution Distribution of First of Fourth Distribution Overall Category Description through Cent of Fifth Cent Distribution Third Cent Beaches Beach Park 5.968% 0% 0% 3.58% Facilities Beaches Beach 64.961 0 0 38.98 Renourishment, Pass and Inlet Maintenance Total 70.929% 0% 0% 42.56% Beaches Promotion Destination and 13.086 100 28.571 33.57 Promotion Administration Promotion Amateur Sports 0 0 71.429 14.28 Complex/Debt Total 13.086% 100% 100% 47.85% Promotion Museums County 12.809 0 0 7.68 Museums Museums Non-County 3.176 0 0 1.91 Museums Total 15.985% 0% 0% 9.59% Museums Notwithstanding the amateur sports allocation described in the table above, in the event the amounts derived from such allocation are insufficient to pay debt service on the Series 2018 Bonds or any Additional Bonds hereafter issued, the County can and will, pursuant to the terms of the Tourist Development Tax Ordinance and the Bond Resolution,use other TDT Revenues to pay debt service as outlined in paragraph(d)above. The County Tax Collector shall be responsible for the collection and administration of the tourist development tax. Collections received by the Tax Collector shall be placed in the County Tourist Development Trust Fund. The amount of administrative costs retained by the Tax Collector shall be negotiated annually, but shall not exceed three percent of the tourist development tax collected. The remainder of the tax collected shall be submitted to the County on a monthly basis. If the Tax Collector 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 21 retains less than three percent of the tax collected for administrative costs, the County may retain an amount up to three percent for administrative costs provided the aggregate amount retained by the County and the tax collector does not exceed three percent of the tax collected. All tourist development taxes collected pursuant to the Tourist Development Tax Ordinance are remitted to the Tax Collector. In addition to criminal sanctions, the Tax Collector is empowered and it is his or her duty, when any tourist development tax becomes delinquent or is otherwise in jeopardy under the Tourist Development Tax Ordinance, to issue a warrant for the full amount of the tax due or estimated to be due, with the interest, penalties, and cost of collection, directed to all and singular the sheriffs of the State, and must record the warrant in the public records of the County, and the amount of the warrant becomes a lien of any real or personal property of the taxpayer in the same manner as a recorded judgment. The Tax Collector may issue a tax execution to enforce the collection of tourist development taxes imposed and deliver it to the Sheriff. The Sheriff shall thereupon proceed in the same manner as prescribed by law for executions and shall be entitled to the same fees for his services in executing the warrant to be collected. The Tax Collector may also have a writ of garnishment issued regarding any goods, money, chattels, or effects of the delinquent dealer which are in the hands, possession, or control of a third person based on an indebtedness owed to the delinquent dealer by the third person, to enforce collection of the taxes in the manner provided by law. Upon payment of the execution, warrant,judgment, or garnishment, the tax collector shall satisfy the lien of record within.30 days. The following table sets forth the prior five-years of collections of Tourist Development Tax Revenues in the County.

Unaudited collections of Tourist Development Tax Revenues for the eight months ended May 31, 2018 equal $22,504,253, which represents a 27.5%increase/decrease as compared to Tourist Development Tax Revenues which were received by the County for the same eight months in the previous fiscal year. This increase is due, in part, to the enactment of Ordinance 2017-35 in which the County approved the collection of the Fifth Cent which was effective as of September 1,2017. The total amount of Tourist Development Tax Revenues collected within the County is subject to increase or decrease on account of events, including but not limited to (i) legislative changes resulting in an increase or decrease in the base upon which tourist development taxes are levied,(ii)potential impacts on tourism resulting from slow economic recovery in Florida and nationwide, and (iii) changes in the 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 22 rental rates, volume and usage of those living quarters and accommodations subject to the levy of tourist development taxes, which is affected by changes in tourist and convention destinations and economic conditions.

VALIDATION On October 20,2017,the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in and for Collier County, Florida entered a final judgment validating the Series 2018 Bonds. No appeal was taken with respect to such final judgment. LITIGATION There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the County, any threatened litigation against the County of any nature whatsoever which in any way questions or affects the validity of the Series 2018 Bonds, or any proceedings or transactions relating to their issuance, sale, execution, or delivery, or the adoption of the Resolution, or the pledge of the Pledged Funds. 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 County experiences 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, 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. ENFORCEABILITY OF REMEDIES The remedies available to the owners of the Series 2018 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 2018 Bonds may not be readily available or may be limited. The various legal opinions to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Series 2018 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 or after such delivery. See "APPENDIX C — Composite of the Resolution" attached hereto for a description of events of default and remedies. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 29 TAX EXEMPTION Opinion of Bond Counsel In the opinion of Bond Counsel, the form of which is included as APPENDIX D hereto, the interest on the Series 2018 Bonds is excludable from gross income of the owners thereof for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions. However, it should be noted that solely for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2018, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings of certain corporations for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax on such corporations. Failure by the County to comply subsequently to the issuance of the Series 2018 Bonds with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), including but not limited to requirements regarding the use, expenditure and investment of Series 2018 Bond proceeds and the timely payment of certain investment earnings to the Treasury of the United States, may cause interest on the Series 2018 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 2018 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 2018 Bonds,including, among other things,restrictions relating to the use or investment of the proceeds of the Series 2018 Bonds and the payment of certain arbitrage earnings in excess of the "yield" on the Series 2018 Bonds to the Treasury of the United States. Noncompliance with such provisions may result in interest on the Series 2018 Bonds being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to their date of issuance. Collateral Tax Consequences Except as described above, Bond Counsel will express no opinion regarding the federal income tax consequences resulting from the ownership of, receipt or accrual of interest on, or disposition of, the Series 2018 Bonds. Prospective purchasers of the Series 2018 Bonds should be aware that the ownership of the Series 2018 Bonds may result in other collateral federal tax consequences. For example, ownership of the Series 2018 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 2018 Bonds, (2) the branch profits tax, and (3) the inclusion of interest on the Series 2018 Bonds in passive income for certain Subchapter S corporations. In addition, the interest on the Series 2018 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 2018 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 2018 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 30 BONDHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX SPECIALISTS FOR INFORMATION IN THAT REGARD. Other Tax Matters Interest on the Series 2018 Bonds may be subject to state or local income taxation under applicable state or local laws in other jurisdictions. Purchasers of the Series 2018 Bonds should consult their own tax advisors as to the income tax status of interest on the Series 2018 Bonds in their particular state or local jurisdictions. During prior 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 2018 Bonds. In some cases these proposals have contained provisions that altered these consequences on a retroactive basis. Such alteration of federal tax consequences may have affected the market value of obligations similar to the Series 2018 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 2018 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 2018 Bonds. Original Issue Discount Certain of the Series 2018 Bonds(the"Discount Bonds")are being offered and sold to the public at an original issue discount, which is the excess of the principal amount of the Discount Bonds over 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 the Discount Bonds of the same maturity was sold. Original issue discount represents interest which is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes to the same extent as interest on the Series 2018 Bonds. Original issue discount will accrue over the term of a Discount Bond at a constant interest rate compounded semi-annually. An initial purchaser who acquires a Discount Bond at the initial offering price thereof to the public will be treated as receiving an amount of interest excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes equal to the original issue discount accruing during the period he holds such Discount Bonds and will increase its adjusted basis in such Discount Bonds by the amount of such accruing discount for purposes of determining taxable gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such Discount Bonds. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and prepayment, sale or other disposition of Discount Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those above. Owners of Discount Bonds should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the precise determination for federal income tax purposes of interest accrued upon sale, prepayment or other disposition of such Discount Bonds and with respect to the state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of such Discount Bonds. Bond Premium Certain of the Series 2018 Bonds (the "Premium Bonds") are being offered and sold to the public at an amortizable bond premium, which is the excess of the initial offering price to the public, excluding bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of the underwriters or wholesalers over the principal amount of such Premium Bond, at which price a substantial amount of such Premium Bonds of the same maturity was sold. Such amortizable bond premium is not deductible 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 31 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 Premium Bond (or in the case of certain Premium Bonds callable prior to maturity, the amortization period and yield must be determined on the basis of the earliest call date that results in the lowest yield on the Premium Bond). 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. The federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and sale or other disposition of Premium Bonds which are not purchased in the initial offering at the initial offering price may be determined according to rules which differ from those described above. 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.

Property is assessed as of January 1 and taxes based on those assessments are levied according to the tax rate in effect that tax year and become due on November 1. Therefore, assessments and tax levies applicable to a certain tax year are collected in the fiscal year ending during the following calendar year. Source: Collier County Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2017. Property Tax Reform Millage Rollback Legislation. In 2007, the State Legislature adopted a property tax plan which significantly impacted ad valorem tax collections for State local governments (the "Millage Rollback Legislation"). One component of the Millage Rollback Legislation required counties, cities and special districts to rollback their millage rates for the 2007-2008 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 2006-2007; 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 2006-2007 ad valorem tax revenues by zero to nine percent(0%to 9%). In addition,the Rollback Legislation also limited how much the aggregate amount of ad valorem tax revenues may increase in future fiscal years. A local government may override certain portions of these requirements by a supermajority,and for certain requirements,a unanimous vote of its governing body. Constitutional Exemptions. Certain exemptions from property taxes have been enacted. Constitutional exemptions include, but are not limited to, property owned by a municipality and used exclusively by it for municipal or public purposes, certain household goods and personal effects to the value fixed by general law, certain locally approved community and economic development ad valorem 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-8 tax exemptions to new businesses and expansions of existing businesses, as defined by general law and historic preservation ad valorem tax exemptions to owners of historic properties, $25,000 of the assessed value of property subject to tangible personal property tax, the assessed value of solar devices or renewable energy source devices subject to tangible personal property tax may be exempt from ad valorem taxation, subject to limitations provided by general law, and certain real property dedicated in perpetuity for conservation purposes, including real property encumbered by perpetual conservation easements or by other perpetual conservation protections,as defined by general law. Limitation on Increase in Assessed Value of Property. The State Constitution limits the increases in assessed just value of homestead property to the lower 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. The accumulated difference between the assessed value and the just value is known as the "Save Our Homes Benefit." Further, 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; new homestead property shall be assessed at just value as of January 1 of the year following the establishment of the homestead;and changes, additions, reductions or improvements to the homestead shall initially be assessed as provided for by general law. Owners of homestead property may transfer up to$500,000 of their Save Our Homes Benefit to a new homestead property purchased within two years of the sale of their previous homestead property to which such benefit applied if the just value of the new homestead is greater than or is equal to the just value of the prior homestead.If the just value of the new homestead is less than the just value of the prior homestead, then owners of homestead property may transfer a proportional amount of their Save Our Homes Benefit, such proportional amount equaling the just value of the new homestead divided by the just value of the prior homestead multiplied by the assessed value of the prior homestead. For all levies other than school district levies, assessment increases for specified nonhomestead real property may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the assessment for the prior year. This assessment limitation is, by its terms, to be repealed effective January 1, 2019; however, the legislature by joint resolution has proposed an amendment abrogating such repeal, which is required to be submitted to the electors of this state for approval or rejection at the general election of 2018 and, if approved, shall take effect January 1,2019. Homestead Exemption. In addition to the exemptions described above, the State Constitution also provides for a homestead exemption. Every person who has the legal title or beneficial title in equity to real property in the State and who resides thereon and in good faith makes the same his or her permanent residence or the permanent residence of others legally or naturally dependent upon such person is eligible to receive a homestead exemption of up to$50,000. The first$25,000 applies to all property taxes, including school district taxes. The additional exemption,up to$25,000,applicable to the assessed value of the property between $50,000 and $75,000, applies to all levies other than school district levies. A person who is receiving or claiming the benefit of an ad valorem tax exemption or a tax credit in another state where permanent residency,or residency of another legally or naturally dependent upon the owner, is required as a basis for the granting of that ad valorem tax exemption or tax credit is not entitled to the homestead exemption. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-9 In addition to the general homestead exemption described in this paragraph, the following additional homestead exemptions are authorized by State law: Certain Persons 65 or Older. A board of county commissioners or the governing authority of any municipality may adopt an ordinance to allow an additional homestead exemption equal to (i) of up to $50,000 for persons age 65 or older with household income that does not exceed the statutory income limitation of$20,000 (as increased by the percentage increase in the average cost of living index each year since 2001) or (ii) the assessed value of the property with a just value less than$250,000, as determined the first tax year that the owner applies and is approved,for any person 65 or older who has maintained the residence as his or her permanent residence for not less than 25 years and whose household income does not exceed the statutory income. The County enacted an ordinance providing for the exemption from County ad valorem taxes described in this paragraph. In addition,veterans 65 or older who are partially or totally permanently disabled may receive a discount from tax on homestead property if the disability was combat related and the veteran was honorably discharged upon separation from military service. The discount is a percentage equal to the percentage of the veteran's permanent, service-connected disability as determined by the United States Department of Veteran's Affairs. The County has not enacted an ordinance providing for the exemption from County ad valorem taxes described in this paragraph. Deployed Military Personnel. The State Constitution provides that by general law and subject to certain conditions specified therein, each person who receives a homestead exemption who was a member of the United States military or military reserves, the United States Coast Guard or its reserves, or the Florida National Guard;and who was deployed during the preceding calendar year on active duty outside the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii in support of military operations designated by the legislature shall receive an additional exemption equal to a percentage of the taxable value of his or her homestead property. The applicable percentage shall be calculated as the number of days during the preceding calendar year the person was deployed on active duty outside the continental United States, Alaska, or Hawaii in support of military operations designated by the legislature divided by the number of days in that year. Certain Active Duty Military and Veterans. A military veteran who was honorably discharged,is a resident of the State, and who is disabled to a degree of 10% or more because of misfortune or while serving during wartime may be entitled to a$5,000 reduction in the assessed value of his or her property. This exemption is not limited to homestead property. A military veteran who was honorably discharged with a service-related total and permanent disability may be eligible for a total exemption from taxes on homestead property. A similar exemption is available to disabled veterans confined to wheelchairs. Under certain circumstances, the veteran's surviving spouse may be entitled to carry over these exemptions. Certain Totally and Permanently Disabled Persons. Real estate used and owned as a homestead by a quadriplegic, less any portion used for commercial purposes, is exempt from all ad valorem taxation. Real estate used and owned as a homestead by a paraplegic,hemiplegic,or other totally and permanently disabled person, who must use a wheelchair for mobility or who is legally blind, is exempt from taxation if the gross household income is below statutory limits. Survivors of First Responders. Any real estate that is owned and used as a homestead by the surviving spouse of a first responder (law enforcement officer, correctional officer,firefighter,emergency 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-10 medical technician or paramedic), who died in the line of duty may be granted a total exemption on homestead property if the first responder and his or her surviving spouse were permanent residents of the State on January 1 of the year in which the first responder died. Recent Amendments Relating to Ad Valorem Taxation. In the 2016 legislative session, several amendments were passed affecting ad valorem taxation, including classification of agricultural lands during periods of eradication or quarantine, deleting requirements that conservation easements be renewed annually, providing that just value of real property shall be determined in the first tax year for income restricted persons age 65 or older who have maintained such property as the permanent residence for at least 25 years, authorizing a first responder who is totally and permanently disabled as a result of injuries sustained in the line of duty to receive relief from ad valorem taxes assessed on homestead property, revising procedures with respect to assessments, hearings and notifications by the value adjustment board,and revising the interest rate on unpaid ad valorem taxes. In the 2017 State legislative session,which concluded on May 8,2017,the State legislature passed House Joint Resolution 7105 which proposes an amendment to Section 6, Article VII of the State Constitution that would increase the homestead exemption by exempting the assessed valuation of homestead property greater than $100,000 and up to $125,000 for all levies other than school district levies. If approved by the voters in November 2018, such amendment would be effective beginning with the 2019 tax roll. The County estimates that this amendment would result in a negative revenue impact to the County of approximately $7.7 million annually. However, the County does not believe that the impact will adversely affect the County's ability to pay debt service on the Series 2018 Bonds. Future Amendments Relating to Ad Valorem Taxation. Historically,various legislative proposals and constitutional amendments relating to ad valorem taxation have been introduced in each session of the State legislature. Many of these proposals have provided for new or increased exemptions to ad valorem taxation and limited increases in assessed valuation of certain types of property or have otherwise restricted the ability of local governments in the State to levy ad valorem taxes at then current levels. Proposed Legislation During the 2018 State legislative session,the State Legislature passed House Joint Resolution 7001 ("HJR 7001"),proposing an amendment to the State Constitution providing that no state tax or fee may be imposed, authorized, raised by the State Legislature, or authorized by the State Legislature to be raised, except through legislation approved by two-thirds of the membership of each house of the Legislature. The same requirement would apply to decreasing or eliminating any state tax, fee exemption or credit. Currently, such actions can be approved by a majority vote. HJR 7001 also requires that any proposed state tax or fee imposition,authorization or increase must be contained in a separate bill that contains no other subject. The joint resolution specifies that the proposed amendment does not authorize the imposition of any state tax or fee otherwise prohibited by the State Constitution, and does not apply to any tax or fee imposed by, or authorized to be imposed by, a county, municipality, school board, or special district. The amendment proposed in the HJR 7001 was passed and signed into law by Governor Scott and will take effect on January 8, 2019, if approved by sixty percent of the voters during the 2018 general election or earlier special election.Although the proposal would not subject local taxes and fees to the stricter voting requirement, local governments could be adversely impacted during recessionary economic environments if State lawmakers are unable to raise taxes. The County does not expect that HJR 7001, if approved by the voters, will have an impact on its collection of Pledged Funds or its ability to pay debt service on the Series 2018 Bonds. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-11 Florida Retirement System The information relating to the Florida Retirement System ("FRS") contained herein has been obtained from the FRS Annual Reports available at www.dms.myflorida.com and the Florida Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports available at www. myfloridacfo.com/aadirlstatewidef'inancial_reporting. No representation is made by the County as to the accuracy or adequacy of such information or that there has not been any material adverse change in such information subsequent to the date of such information. The FRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer public-employee retirement system with two primary plans — the FRS defined benefit pension plan (the "FRS Pension Plan") and the FRS defined contribution plan(the"FRS Investment Plan"). The FRS Pension Plan was created in Chapter 121,Florida Statutes,to provide a defined benefit pension plan for participating public employees. Florida Retirement System Pension Plan Membership. FRS membership is compulsory for all employees filling a regularly established position in a state agency, county agency, state university, state community college, or district school board. Participation by cities,municipalities, special districts,charter schools,and metropolitan planning organizations, although optional, is generally irrevocable after election to participate is made. Members hired into certain positions may be eligible to withdraw from the FRS altogether or elect to participate in the non-integrated optional retirement programs in lieu of the FRS except faculty of a medical college in a state university who must participate in the State University System Optional Retirement Program. There are five general classes of membership,as follows: • Regular Class - Members of the FRS who do not qualify for membership in the other classes. • Senior Management Service Class(SMSC)-Members in senior management level positions in state and local governments as well as assistant state attorneys, assistant statewide prosecutors, assistant public defenders, assistant attorneys general,deputy court administrators,and assistant capital collateral representatives. Members of the Elected Officers' Class ("EOC") may elect to withdraw from the FRS or participate in the SMSC in lieu of the EOC. • Special Risk Class-Members who are employed as law enforcement officers, firefighters, firefighter trainers, fire prevention officers, state fixed-wing pilots for aerial firefighting surveillance, correctional officers, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, community-based correctional probation officers, youth custody officers (from July 1, 2001 through June 30, 2014), certain health-care related positions within state forensic or correctional facilities, or specified forensic employees of a medical examiner's office or a law enforcement agency,and meet the criteria to qualify for this class. • Special Risk Administrative Support Class - Former Special Risk Class members who are transferred or reassigned to nonspecial risk law enforcement, firefighting, emergency medical care, or correctional administrative support positions within an FRS special risk-employing agency. • Elected Officers' Class (EOC) -Members who are elected state and county officers and the elected officers of cities and special districts that choose to place their elected officials in this class. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-12 Beginning July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2011, the FRS Pension Plan provided for vesting of benefits after six years of creditable service for members initially enrolled during this period. Members not actively working in a position covered by the FRS Pension Plan on July 1, 2001, must return to covered employment for up to one work year to be eligible to vest with less service than was required under the law in effect before July 1, 2001. Members initially enrolled on or after July 1, 2001, through June 30, 2011,vest after six years of service. Members initially enrolled on or after July 1,2011,vest after eight years of creditable service. Members are eligible for normal retirement when they have met the requirements listed below. Early retirement may be taken any time after vesting within 20 years of normal retirement age; however, there is a 5% benefit reduction for each year prior to the normal retirement age. • Regular Class, SMSC, and EOC Members - For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan before July 1, 2011, six or more years of creditable service and age 62, or the age after completing six years of creditable service if after age 62. Thirty years of creditable service regardless of age before age 62. For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan on or after July 1,2011, eight or more years of creditable service and age 65, or the age after completing eight years of creditable service if after age 65. Thirty-three years of creditable service regardless of age before age 65. • Special Risk Class and Special Risk Administrative Support Class Members - For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan before July 1, 2011, six or more years of Special Risk Class service and age 55, or the age after completing six years of Special Risk Class service if after age 55. Twenty-five years of special risk service regardless of age before age 55. A total of 25 years of service including special risk service and up to four years of active duty wartime service and age 52. Without six years of Special Risk Class service, members of the Special Risk Administrative Support Class must meet the requirements of the Regular Class. For members initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan on or after July 1, 2011, eight or more years of Special Risk Class service and age 60, or the age after completing eight years of Special Risk Class service if after age 60. Thirty years of special risk service regardless of age before age 60. Without eight years of Special Risk Class service, members of the Special Risk Administrative Support Class must meet the requirements of the Regular Class. Benefits. Benefits under the FRS Pension Plan are computed on the basis of age, average final compensation, creditable years of service, and accrual value by membership class. Members are also eligible for in-line-of-duty or regular disability and survivors' benefits. Pension benefits of retirees and annuitants are increased each July 1 by a cost-of-living adjustment. If the member is initially enrolled in the FRS Pension Plan before July 1,2011,and all service credit was accrued before July 1,2011,the annual cost-of-living adjustment is 3% per year. If the member is initially enrolled before July 1, 2011, and has service credit on or after July 1, 2011, there is an individually calculated cost-of-living adjustment. The annual cost-of-living adjustment is a proportion of 3% determined by dividing the sum of the pre-July 2011 service credit by the total service credit at retirement multiplied by 3%. FRS Pension Plan members initially enrolled on or after July 1,2011,will not have a cost-of-living adjustment after retirement. The Deferred Retirement Option Program ("DROP") became effective July 1, 1998, subject to provisions of Section 121.091(13), Florida Statutes. FRS Pension Plan members who reach normal retirement are eligible to defer receipt of monthly benefit payments while continuing employment with an FRS employer. An employee may participate in the DROP for a maximum of 60 months. Authorized instructional personnel may participate in the DROP for up to 36 additional months beyond their initial 60-month participation period. Monthly retirement benefits remain in the FRS Trust Fund during DROP 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-13 participation and accrue interest. As of June 30, 2017, the FRS Trust Fund held $2,255,747,029 in accumulated benefits for 34,810 DROP participants. Of these 34,810 DROP participants, 32,972 were active in the DROP with balances totaling $2,032,044,001. The remaining participants were no longer active in the DROP and had balances totaling$216,703,029 to be processed after June 30,2017. Administration. The Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement administers the FRS Pension Plan. The State Board of Administration (the "SBA") invests the assets of the FRS Pension Plan held in the FRS Trust Fund. Costs of administering the FRS Pension Plan are funded from earnings on investments of the FRS Trust Fund. Reporting of the FRS Pension Plan is on the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the obligation is incurred. Contributions. All participating employers must comply with statutory contribution requirements. Section 121.031(3), Florida Statutes, requires an annual actuarial valuation of the FRS Pension Plan, which is provided to the Legislature as guidance for funding decisions. Employer and employee contribution rates are established in Section 121.71, Florida Statutes. Employer contribution rates under the uniform rate structure(a blending of both the FRS Pension Plan and FRS Investment Plan rates) are recommended by the actuary but set by the Legislature. Statutes require that any unfunded actuarial liability ("UAL") be amortized within 30 plan years. Pursuant to Section 121.031(3)(f), Florida Statutes, any surplus amounts available to offset total retirement system costs are to be amortized over a 10-year rolling period on a level-dollar basis. The balance of legally required reserves for all defined benefit pension plans at June 30, 2017, was $154,053,262,968. These funds were reserved to provide for total current and future benefits,refunds,and administration of the FRS Pension Plan. Effective July 1, 2011, both employees and employers of the FRS are required to make contributions to establish service credit for work performed in a regularly established position. Effective July 1,2002, the Florida Legislature established a uniform contribution rate system for the FRS, covering both the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. The uniform rates for Fiscal Year 2016-17 are as follows: Employee Employer Total Membership Class Contribution Rate Contribution Rate) Contribution Rate Regular 3.00% 5.80% 8.80% Special Risk 3.00 20.85 23.85 Special Risk Administrative Support 3.00 26.34 29.34 Elected Officers—Judges 3.00 34.98 37.98 Elected Officers-Legislators/Attorneys/Cabinet 3.00 40.38 43.38 Elected Officers—County,City,Special Districts 3.00 40.75 43.75 Senior Management Service 3.00 20.05 23.05 Deferred Retirement Option Program N/A 11.33 11.33 (1) These rates include the normal cost and unfunded actuarial liability contributions but do not include the 1.66% contribution for the Retiree Health Insurance Subsidy ("HIS") and the fee of 0.06% for administration of the FRS Investment Plan and provision of educational tools for both plans.

The plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive employees in determining the projected depletion date. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability is equal to the long-term expected rate of return. The actuarial assumptions used to determine the total pension liability as of June 30, 2017, were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1,2008-June 30,2013.

The benefit is a monthly payment to assist retirees of state- administered retirement systems in paying their health insurance costs and is administered by the Division of Retirement within the Department of Management Services. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, eligible retirees and beneficiaries received a monthly HIS payment equal to the number of years of creditable service completed at the time of retirement multiplied by $5. The payments are at least$30 but not more than$150 per month, pursuant to Section 112.363, Florida Statutes. To be eligible to receive a HIS benefit, a retiree under a state-administered retirement system must provide proof of health insurance coverage,which can include Medicare. The HIS Program is funded by required contributions from FRS participating employers as set by the Legislature. Employer contributions are a percentage of gross compensation for all active FRS members. For the fiscal year ended June 30,2017, the contribution rate was 1.66%of payroll pursuant to Section 112.363, F.S. The State contributed 100% of its statutorily required contributions for the current and preceding two years. HIS contributions are deposited in a separate trust fund from which HIS payments are authorized. HIS benefits are not guaranteed and are subject to annual legislative appropriation. In the event the legislative appropriation or available funds fail to provide full subsidy benefits to all participants,the legislature may reduce or cancel HIS payments.

Actuarial Methods and Assumptions for the HIS. The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of the valuation date, calculated based on the discount rate and actuarial assumptions below, and then was projected to the measurement date. Any significant changes during this period have been reflected as prescribed by GASB 67. The same demographic and economic assumptions that were used in the Florida Retirement System Actuarial Valuation as of July 1, 2016 ("funding valuation") were used for the HIS Program, unless otherwise noted. In a given membership class and tier, the same assumptions for both FRS Investment Plan members and for FRS Pension Plan members were used. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-18 June 30,2016 June 30,2017 Discount rate 2.85% 3.58% Long-term expected rate of return,net of investment expense N/A N/A Bond Buyer General Obligation 20-Bond Municipal Bond Index 2.85% 3.58% Source:Florida Retirement System Pension Plan and Other State Administered Systems Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for Fiscal Year Ended June 30,2017. In general, the discount rate for calculating the total pension liability under GASB 67 is equal to the single rate equivalent to discounting at the long-term expected rate of return for benefit payments prior to the projected depletion date. Because the HIS benefit is essentially funded on a pay-as-you-go basis,the depletion date is considered to be immediate,and the single equivalent discount rate is equal to the municipal bond rate selected by the plan sponsor. The discount rate used in the 2017 valuation was updated from 2.85% to 3.58%, reflecting the change in the Bond Buyer General Obligation 20- Bond Municipal Bond Index as of June 30,2017. The actuarial assumptions used to determine the total pension liability as of June 30, 2017, were based on the results of an actuarial experience study for the period July 1,2008-June 30,2013.

FRS Investment Plan The State Board of Administration administers the defined contribution plan officially titled the FRS Investment Plan. The FRS Investment Plan provides vesting after one year of service regardless of 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-19 membership class. If an accumulated benefit obligation for service credit originally earned under the FRS Pension Plan is transferred to the FRS Investment Plan, the years of service required for vesting under the FRS Pension Plan (including the service credit represented by the transferred funds) is required to be vested for these funds and the earnings on the funds. The employer pays a contribution as a percentage of salary that is deposited into the individual member's account. Effective July 1, 2011, there is a mandatory employee contribution of 3.00%. The FRS Investment Plan member directs the investment from the options offered under the plan. Costs of administering the plan, including the FRS Financial Guidance Program, are funded through an employer assessment of payroll and by forfeited benefits of plan members. After termination and applying to receive benefits, the member may rollover vested funds to another qualified plan, structure a periodic payment under the FRS Investment Plan, receive a lump-sum distribution, or leave the funds invested for future distribution. Disability coverage is provided; the employer pays an employer contribution to fund the disability benefit which is deposited in the FRS Trust Fund. The member may either transfer the account balance to the FRS Pension Plan when approved for disability retirement to receive guaranteed lifetime monthly benefits under the FRS Pension Plan, or remain in the FRS Investment Plan and rely upon that account balance for retirement income. Multiple Employer Defined Benefit Retirement Plan All of the County's employees participate in the FRS. As provided by Chapters 121 and 112, Florida Statutes,the FRS provides two cost-sharing,multiple-employer defined benefit plans administered by the Florida Department of Management Services, Division of Retirement, including the FRS Pension Plan and HIS.Under Section 121.4501,Florida Statutes,the FRS also provides a defined contribution plan FRS Investment Plan alternative to the FRS Pension Plan,which is administered by the SBA.As a general rule, membership in the FRS is compulsory for all employees working in a regularly established position for a state agency, county government, district school board, state university, community college, or a participating city or special district within the State of Florida.The FRS provides retirement and disability benefits, annual cost-of-living adjustments, and death benefits to plan members and beneficiaries. Benefits are established by Chapter 121, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 60S, Florida Administrative Code. Amendments to the law can be made only by an act of the Florida State Legislature. The State of Florida annually issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the FRS. The latest available report may be obtained by writing to the State of Florida Division of Retirement, Department of Management Services, P.O. Box 9000, Tallahassee, Florida 32315-9000 or from the website: ww.dms.myflorida.com/workforce operations/retiremenitipublications. Other Postemployment Benefit Plans General The County provides post employment healthcare benefits for retirees through a single employer defined benefit plan (County's OPEB Plan) and can amend the benefits provisions. The participants of this plan include retirees of the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"), the Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller, the Property Appraiser, the Tax Collector and the Supervisor of Elections. The Sheriff also provides post employment healthcare benefits under a separate plan. In accordance with Florida Statute 112.0801, employees who retire and immediately begin receiving benefits from the FRS 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-20 have the option of paying premiums to continue in the County's health insurance plan at the same group rate as for active employees. The Board and the Tax Collector also subsidize the cost of the post employment healthcare for qualifying retirees and each has the authority to amend benefit provisions. The Board offers a subsidy 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 Board, 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 plan. A subsidy is currently provided to 19 retirees. The Tax Collector offers a subsidy of 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 for employees hired prior to June 1,2015. A subsidy is currently provided to 4 retirees. The County's OPEB Plan is currently being funded on a pay as you go basis. No trust or agency fund has been established for the plan.The plan does not issue a separate financial report.

In addition, the County reported deferred inflows of resources from the following sources: Description Deferred Deferred Outflows Inflows of Resources of Resources Differences Between Expected and Actual Economic Experience $- $8,258 Amounts reported as deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB will be amortized over 4.29 years and will be recognized as follows: Year Ending September 30 Amount 2018 $1,925 2019 1,925 2020 1,925 2021 1,925 Thereafter 558 Actuarial Methods and Assumptions Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-22 to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. Calculations for financial reporting purposes are based on the benefits provided under terms of the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members in effect at the time of each valuation and on the pattern of sharing of costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The projection of benefits for financial reporting purposes does not explicitly incorporate the potential effects of legal or contractual funding limitations on the pattern of cost sharing between the employer and plan members in the future. Actuarial calculations reflect a long-term perspective. Consistent with that perspective, actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets. The actuarial methods are: Actuarial cost method Entry Age Actuarial The actuarial assumptions are: Discount rate 2.8%(Based on the 20 year AA municipal bond rate) Healthcare cost trend rate 6%decreasing to 5%in 2026 and thereafter Salary increase 3% New employees None Mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 Mortality Fully Generational tables using Projection Scale MP-2016.

Plan Description and Benefits Provided The Sheriff provides post employment healthcare benefits for retirees through a single employer defined benefit plan (Sheriffs OPEB Plan) and can amend the benefit provisions. In accordance with Florida Statute 112.0801, employees who retire and immediately begin receiving benefits from the FRS have the option of paying premiums to continue in the Sheriffs health insurance plan at the same group rate as for active employees.No trust or agency fund has been established for the plan. The plan does not issue a separate financial report. Prior to 2010, the Sheriff subsidized approximately 20% of the cost for both single and family healthcare for its retirees who have 6 years of creditable service with the Sheriff and who receive a monthly retirement benefit from the Florida Retirement System. Approximately 36% of retirees receive the subsidy. 25694/007/01369090.DOCv5 A-23 The Sheriffs OPEB Plan is currently being funded on a pay as you go basis.
