SECTION 3. FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, deter- mined and declared that: A. Due to favorable municipal bond market conditions, it is in the best interest of the Issuer that the Refunded Bonds be refunded and redeemed as of November 1, 1987. B. The Franchise Tax is not now pledged or encumbered ' in any manner except to the payment of the outstanding improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1981, dated March 1, 1981, of the Issuer maturing on November 1, 1987 (the "Series 1981 Bonds 1987 -3- Maturity"), and the Refunded Bonds. The pledge in favor of the holders of the Refunded Bonds upon such Franchise Tax will be defeased upon the issuance of the Bonds. The Series 1981 Bonds 1967 Maturity will be retired in the usual manner from the Franchise Tax. C. The Series 1981 Bonds 1987 Maturity and the Refunded ' Bonds were originally issued as Additional Parity Obligations under the terms, limitations and conditions provided in the Original Resolution. D. The Refunded Bonds, in the aggregate principal amount of $885,000, will be outstanding on November 2, 1987, the projected date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds. E. The Refunded Bonds are redeemable prior to their stated dates of maturity, at the option of the Issuer, as a whole at any time on or after November 1, 1987, at a price of par and accrued interest to the date of redemption, plus a premium of 38 of the par value thereof if redeemed on November 1, 1987. F. Section 11 of the resolution authorizing the ' issuance of the Refunded Bonde provides for notice of redemption, and such section reads in part as follows: "Notice of such redemption (i) shall be published at least thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date in a finan- cial journal published in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, (ii) shall be filed with the paying agents, and (iii) shall be mailed, postage prepaid to all registered owners of obligations to be redeemed at their addresses as they appear on the registration books hereinbefore provided for. Interest shall cease to accrue on any obligation duly called for prior redemption on the redemption date, if payment thereof has been duly provided." G. The Issuer deems it necessary and in its beat inter- ' est to provide for the refunding of the Refunded Bonds through the issuance of the Bonds herein described. The refunding program specified herein will be advantageous to the issuer by -4- achieving a savings in bond debt service. H. The funds needed for the refunding na above described shall be derived from the sale of the Bonds and shall be expended as follows: (1) An amount which will be sufficient to effect the refunding and retirement of the Refunded Bonds as of November ' 1, 1987, will be deposited with the paying agent for the Refunded Bonds on November 2, 1987, since November 1, 1987, is on a Sunday. (2) Such costa of the refunding shall be deemed to include bond discount, if any, legal expenses, municipal bond insurance, if any, fiscal expenses, expenses for estimates of costs and of revenues, administrative expenses, reasonable amounts for reserves, and such other expenses. as may be necessary or incidental for the financing authorized by this resolution. I. The principal of and interest on the Bonds and all required sinking fund, reserve and other payments shall be payable solely from the Franchise Tax. Neither the Issuer nor the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof or ' governmental authority or body therein shall ever be required to levy ad valorem taxes to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds or to make any of the required sinking fund, reserve or other payments required by this resolution or the Bonds, and such Bonds shall not constitute a lien upon any property owned by or situated within the corporate territory of the Issuer, except as provided herein with respect to the Franchise Tax. J. The estimated Franchise Tax will be sufficient to pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds, as the same become due, and to make all required sinking fund, reserve or other payments required by this resolution and the Original ' Resolution. K. Prior to adoption of this resolution, significant changes have occurred in the municipal bond market regarding interest rates on municipal bonds, which are favorable to the -5- issuer. Based upon all available information and advice from the staff of the issuer, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to respond to these favorable market conditions without, undue delay. L. The relatively small size of the Bond issue and the nature of the security for payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds would not generate sufficient interest in t the municipal bond market for a public sale on terms favorable to the Issuer. M. A negotiated sale for the Bonds will result in the most favorable bond financing plan and is in the best interest of the Issuer. N: Since the Issuer reasonably expects to receive from Moody's Investors Service, New York, New York, and/or Standard & Poor's Corporation, New York, New York, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, a bond rating or ratings in one of their 3 highest classifications, there is no limitation on the interest rate for the Bonds required by Section 215.84, Florida Statutes (1985), as amended. ' O. The ,issuer expects that William R. Hough & Co. (the "Purchaser") will offer to purchase the Bonds upon terms and con- ditions to be negotiated between the Issuer and the Purchaser. P. The issuer is a government unit with general taxing powers. Q. The Bonds will not be "private activity bonds" as defined in Section 141 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (collectively, the "Code"). R. Ninety-five percent or more of the net proceeds of the sale of the Bonds will be used for local government activi- ties of the Issuer. S. The Issuer (and all subordinate entities thereof) does not reasonably expect to issue tax-exempt obligations in excess of ' $5,000,000 aggregate face amount in the calendar year 1987. SECTION 4. RESOLUTION TO CONSTITUTE CONTRACT. In con- sideration of the acceptance of the Bonds authorized to be issued -6- hereunder by those who shall hold the same from time to time, this resolution shall be deemed to be and shall constitute a contract between the Issuer and auoh Holders. The covenants and agreements herein set forth to be performed by the Issuer shall be for the equal benefit, protection and security of the legal Holders of any and all of such Bonds, all of which shall be of ' equal rank and without preference, priority or distinction of any of the Bonds over any other thereof, except ae expressly provided therein and herein. SECTION 5. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS AND REFUNDING. Subject and pursuant to the provisions hereof, Obligations of the Issuer to be known as "Refunding Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 1987," herein sometimes referred to as "Bonds," are authorized to be issued in the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding $1,000,000 for the purpose of refunding the Refunded Bonds in the manner provided in this resolution. SECTION 6. DESCRIPTION OF BONDS. The Bonds shall be dated, shall be issued in such denominations, shall bear interest ' at not exceeding the maximum rate per annum authorized by appli- cable law, payable at such times, and shall mature on such dates and in such years and amounts, all as shall be fixed by sub- sequent resolution of the Council.

The authorized signature for the Bond Registrar shall be either manual or in facsimile] provided, however, that at least one of the above signatures, including that of the Bond Registrar, appearing on the,BOnds shall at all times be a manual signature. in case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer of the Issuer before the Bonds so signed and sealed shall have been actually sold and delivered, such Bonds may nevertheless be sold and delivered as herein provided ane may be issued as if the per- son who signed or sealed such Bonds had not ceased to hold such office. Any Bonds may be signed and sealed on behalf of the issuer by such person as at the actual time of the execution of such Bonds shall hold the proper office, although at the date of such Bonds such person may not have held such office or may not have been so authorized. SECTION 8. NEGOTIABILITY. The Bonds shall be and have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of Florida, and each successive Bondholder, in accepting any of the Bonds, shall be conclusively deemed to ' have agreed that such Bonds shall be and have all of the quali- ties and incidents of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of Florida. -6- SECTION 9.
