This Resolution is adopted pursuant to the provisions of the Act. SECTION 3. FINDINGS. It is hereby ascertained, determined and declared that: (A) The Commission has been established for the principal purpose of issuing commercial paper notes in order to provide funds to loan to public agencies, such as the Public Agency, desiring to finance the cost of acquiring, constructing and equipping capital improvements and to finance other governmental needs. (B) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Commission shall issue, from time to time, commercial paper notes to be known as "Florida Local Government Finance Commission Pooled Commercial Paper Notes, Series A (Governmental Issue)" pursuant to the Program and shall loan the proceeds of such Series A Notes to public agencies, including the Public Agency. (C) Pursuant to the authority of the Act, the Commission has agreed to loan, from time to time, to the Public Agency such amounts as shall be authorized herein and in the Loan Agreement in order to enable the Public Agency to finance, refinance and/or reimburse the costs of the acquisition, construction and equipping of various capital improvements and other Public Agency Expenses, and the Public Agency desires to borrow such amounts from the Commission subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. (D) The proceeds of the Prior Loan were used to finance a portion of the costs of the Refinanced Project. (E) Inasmuch as the Commission has informed the Public Agency that the Program replaced the Commission's other loan programs, the Public Agency desires to refinance the Prior Loan through the Program, all in accordance with the terms hereof. (F) The Public Agency is authorized under and pursuant to the Act to enter into the Loan Agreement for the purposes set forth therein. (G) The Loan shall be repaid solely from the Designated Revenues as provided in the Loan Agreement. Such Designated Revenues shall include a pledge of and lien on the Net Revenues which shall be subordinate and junior in all respects to the pledge of and lien on such Net Revenues granted to the holders of the Senior Obligations. The ad valorem taxing power of the Public Agency will never be necessary or authorized to make the Loan Repayments. (H) Due to the potential volatility of the market for tax-exempt obligations such as the Note or Notes to be issued evidencing the Loan, the complexity of the transactions relating to such Note or Notes and the uniqueness of the Program, it is in the best interest of the Public Agency to deliver the Note or Notes to the Commission pursuant to the Program by a negotiated sale pursuant to Section 218.385(1), Florida Statutes, allowing the Public Agency to utilize the Program in which it participates from time to time and to enter the market at the most advantageous time, rather than at a specified advertised date, thereby permitting the Public Agency to obtain the best possible price, issuance costs and interest rate for such Note or Notes. SECTION 4. AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAM. Adoption of this Resolution will constitute an agreement of the Public Agency to participate in the Program pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement. SECTION 5. AUTHORIZATION OF LOAN AGREEMENT, — In connection with the Loan, the Public Agency hereby authorizes and directs the Chairman to execute, and the Clerk to attest under the seal of the Public Agency, the Loan Agreement, and to deliver the Loan Agreement to the Commission for its execution. All of the provisions of the Loan Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Public Agency as authorized herein and when duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Commission, shall be deemed to be a part of this Resolution as fully and to the same extent as if incorporated verbatim herein, and the Loan Agreement shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, with such changes, amendments, modifications, omissions and additions, including the date of such Loan Agreement, as may be approved by the Chairman. Execution of the Loan Agreement by the Chairman shall be deemed to be conclusive evidence of approval of such changes. SECTION 6. TERMS OF LOAN. The Public Agency hereby approves of the Loan in an aggregate principal amount of not exceeding $2,000,0000 for the purposes of providing the Public Agency with sufficient funds to refinance the Prior Loan. The Chairman and the Clerk are hereby authorized to execute, seal and deliver on behalf of the Public Agency a Loan Note or Notes and other documents, instruments, agreements and certificates necessary or desirable to effectuate the Loan as provided in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Notes shall reflect the terms of the Loan or draws made on account of the Loan and shall be substantially in the form attached to the Loan Agreement as Exhibit D. The Chairman shall determine the amount of funding of the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement as shall be determined necessary to refinance the Prior Loan. The repayment of the Loan or the draws made on account of the Loan shall be made in accordance with the Repayment Schedule provided in Exhibit A attached hereto and the terms of the Loan Agreement or at such other time or times as shall be determined by the Chairman and shall be permitted by the Loan Agreement.
