C. The Company has requested the Issuer to issue the Series 1999 Bonds, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 the proceeds of which will provide the necessary funds to the Issuer to make a loan to the Company for the purposes of (i) refunding the Refunded Bonds, (ii) funding a debt service reserve fund for the Series 1999 Bonds, and (iii) paying a portion of the costs of issuing the Series 1999 Bonds, pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Agreement. The refunding of the Refunded Bonds will accomplish the refinancing of the indebtedness represented by the Refunded Bonds, thereby permitting the Company to (i) refinance the cost of the Prior Projects, (ii) effect a conversion of the interest rate on the indebtedness evidenced by the Series 1994B Refunded Bonds from variable rate to fixed rate, and (iii) take advantage of favorable long-term fixed interest rates currently available. D. The Issuer has been advised that the refunding of the Refunded Bonds and the refinancing of the Prior Projects in the manner provided herein will be advantageous to the Company and will advance the public purposes of providing modern and efficient continuing care facilities in the City, including adult congregate living facilities, assisted living facilities and skilled nursing facilities, which facilities are needed for the welfare and benefit of the citizens of the City and surrounding areas and are commensurate with a desirable level of quality health care. 5 004.162331.2 • • E. In compliance with Section 147(f) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, notice of a public hearing pertaining to the issuance of the Series 1999 Bonds, the plan of financing and the location and nature of the Prior Projects has been duly given in the same manner as required by the Issuer for the adoption of resolutions generally, including publication of notice not less than fourteen (14) days prior to such public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation in the City. Such public hearing was held by the Issuer on September 13, 1999, and interested individuals were provided a reasonable opportunity to express their views, both orally and in writing, on the proposed issuance of the Series 1999 Bonds, the plan of financing described herein and the location and nature of the Prior Projects. F. The Series 1999 Bonds will not be issued unless the Issuer has received a satisfactory opinion of bond counsel to the effect (among other things) that the interest on the Series 1999 Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under existing laws of the United States of America at the time of the delivery of the Series 1999 Bonds. G. The Company has shown and the Issuer has recognized that the Prior Projects have and will continue to alleviate unemployment in the City, foster the economic growth and development and industrial and business development of the City and the State, and serve other predominantly public purposes as set forth in the Act. It is desirable and will further the public purposes of the Act, and it will most effectively serve the purposes of the Act, for the Issuer to issue and sell the Series 1999 Bonds under the Indenture hereinafter • described, as revenue refunding bonds, for the purpose of providing funds to refund the Refunded Bonds and thereby refinance the cost of the Prior Projects, all as provided in the Indenture and the Loan Agreement hereinafter described, which contain such provisions as are necessary or convenient to effectuate the purposes of the Act. The Company has represented that the Prior Projects are appropriate to the needs and circumstances of, and shall make a significant contribution to the economic growth of the City; shall provide or preserve gainful employment; shall protect the environment; or shall serve a public purpose by advancing the economic prosperity, the public health, or the general welfare of the State and its people as stated in Section 159.26, Florida Statutes, as amended. H. Based on representations made by the Company, the City and other local agencies have been and will continue to be able to cope satisfactorily with the impact of the Facilities and have been and will be able to provide, or cause to be provided when needed, the public facilities, including utilities and public services, that have been or will be necessary for the construction, operation, repair and maintenance of the Facilities and on account of any increases in population or other circumstances resulting therefrom. I. Adequate provision has been made in the documents attached hereto for a loan by the Issuer to the Company to finance the cost of refunding the Refunded Bonds, for the operation, repair and maintenance of the Existing Facilities at the expense of the Company and for the repayment by the Company of the loan in installments sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on the Series 1999 Bonds and all costs and • expenses relating thereto in the amounts and at the times required, and for the payment by the 6 004.162331.2 • company of all costs incurred by the Issuer in connection with the refunding of the Refunded Bonds, the refinancing of the Prior Projects and the administration of the Existing Facilities. • J. The Company and the Bond Insurer (which will issue the Policy), are financially responsible based on the criteria established by the Act, the Company is fully capable and willing to fulfill its obligations under the Series 1999 Note and the Loan Agreement, and any other agreements to be made in connection with the issuance of the Series 1999 Bonds and the use of the Series 1999 Bond proceeds for financing the costs of refunding the Refunded Bonds, including the obligation to pay loan payments or other payments in an amount sufficient in the aggregate to pay all of the interest, principal and redemption premiums, if any, on the Series 1999 Bonds in the amounts and at the times required, the obligation to operate, repair and maintain the Existing Facilities at its own expense, and to serve the purposes of the Act and other such responsibilities as may be imposed under the Loan Agreement. The payments to be made by the Company to the Issuer and other security provided by the Loan Agreement, the Series 1999 Note, the Indenture, the Mortgage and the Policy are adequate within the meaning of the Act for the security of the Series 1999 Bonds. K. Based on representations made by the Company, the costs of the Prior Projects were "costs" of a "project" within the meaning of the Act. All of the proceeds of the Series 1999 Bonds, other than proceeds used to fund a debt service reserve fund for the Series 1999 Bonds and to pay a portion of the costs of issuance of the Series 1999 Bonds, will be • applied to the refunding of the Refunded Bonds as provided herein. L. Based on information supplied by the Company, the best interests of the inhabitants of the City will be served, and the public purposes of the Act will be advanced, by the refunding of the Refunded Bonds and the refinancing of the cost of the Prior Projects in the manner described in the Loan Agreement and the Indenture. M. The Company's obligation to repay the loan made pursuant to the Loan Agreement will be evidenced by the Series 1999 Note, and the payment by the Company of the Series 1999 Note and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Loan Agreement will be secured by the Mortgage. N. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 1999 Bonds, and all reserve fund, sinking fund and other payments required to be made by the Issuer under the provisions of the Indenture and the Loan Agreement, shall be payable solely from (i) the income, revenues and proceeds derived by the Issuer under the Loan Agreement or by reason of any disposition of the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) certain other moneys pledged under the Indenture, including proceeds of the Series 1999 Bonds and other moneys held in reserve funds, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and income from the investment of funds held in trust under the Indenture. The Series 1999 Bonds shall not be deemed to constitute a debt, liability or obligation of the Issuer, of Duval County or of the State or any political subdivision thereof, or a pledge of the faith and credit or the taxing power of the Issuer, of Duval County or of the State or any political subdivision thereof, but shall be payable solely • from the revenues and proceeds pledged thereto under the Indenture. The issuance of the Series 1999 Bonds shall not directly or indirectly, or contingently, obligate the Issuer, Duval 7 004.162331.2 • County or the State or any political subdivision thereof, to levy or pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for the payment thereof. No holder or owner of any of the Series 1999 Bonds shall ever have any right to compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power or the levy or collection of any ad valorem taxes, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series 1999 Bonds. O. The payments to be made by the Company under the Loan Agreement will be sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Series 1999 Bonds, as the same shall become due, and to make all other payments required by the Loan Agreement and the Indenture. P. The Company has received from the Bond Insurer a commitment to issue the Policy with respect to the Series 1999 Bonds. The Series 1999 Bonds will not be issued unless and until the Bond Insurer has issued the Policy and the Series 1999 Bonds have been rated "A" or better by Standard & Poor's Rating Services. Q. The Issuer is advised that due to the present volatility of the market for public obligations such as the Series 1999 Bonds, it is in the best interest of the Issuer to sell the Series 1999 Bonds by a delegated negotiated sale, allowing the Issuer to enter such market at the most advantageous time, rather than at a specified advertised future date, thereby permitting the Issuer to obtain the best possible price, interest rate and other terms for the • Series 1999 Bonds and, accordingly, the Issuer does hereby find and determine that it is in the best financial interest of the Issuer that a delegated negotiated sale of the Series 1999 Bonds be authorized. R. The Purchaser has orally agreed with the Company to use its best efforts to submit to the Issuer and the Company an offer to purchase the Series 1999 Bonds in substantially the form of the Bond Purchase Agreement upon terms acceptable to the Issuer and the Company as hereinafter authorized, and it is necessary and appropriate to authorize a delegated negotiated sale of the Series 1999 Bonds to the Purchaser and to authorize the execution and delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreement upon the terms hereinafter provided. S. It is appropriate that the Issuer approve the Preliminary Official Statement, and that the Issuer authorize the distribution of a final official statement prior to the issuance and delivery of the Series 1999 Bonds. For this purpose, it is appropriate that the Preliminary Official Statement be approved and that preparation and distribution of a final official statement in the manner hereinafter provided be authorized. T. All conditions precedent to the refunding of the Refunded Bonds have been satisfied, or will be satisfied prior to the delivery of the Series 1999 Bonds, and the issuance of the Series 1999 Bonds will otherwise comply with all of the provisions of the Act. U. In order to carry out the refunding of the Series 1994A Refunded Bonds, it • is necessary and appropriate that the Issuer authorize the execution and delivery of the Escrow Deposit Agreement between the Issuer and the Escrow Agent. 8 004.162331.2 • V. It is necessary and appropriate that the Issuer appoint an escrow agent to serve under the Escrow Deposit Agreement, and the institution hereinafter named is acceptable to the Issuer; and it appears to the Issuer that the same is qualified to serve as Escrow Agent under the Escrow Deposit Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Deposit Agreement and the Prior Indenture.
