E. Upon consideration of the documents described herein and the
information presented to the Authority at or prior to the adoption of this
Resolution, the Authority has made and does hereby make the following
findings and determinations:
(i) The Facilities consist of a mental health and substance abuse
treatment center which include two buildings, one of which is one-
story and approximately 15,488 square feet and the other is one-story
and approximately 2,880 square feet. The Improvements include a
new telephone system and air conditioning units that will become a
part of the Facilities. The Facilities are located in the County and are
owned and operated by the Company in its business of providing
mental health care and substance abuse treatment in the County.
(ii) The Company has shown that the Facilities will enhance and
improve the health, safety and welfare of the County and the State,
and it will 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
Authority to issue and sell the Series 2003 Bond for the purpose of
providing funds to refinance the Prior Indebtedness and finance the
Improvements, all as provided in the Loan Agreement, which contains
such provisions as are necessary or convenient to effectuate the
purposes of the Act.
(iii) The Facilities are appropriate to the needs and
circumstances of, and will make a significant contribution to, the
economic growth of the County; shall provide or preserve gainful
employment; and shall serve a public purpose by advancing the
economic prosperity, the public health, or the general welfare of the
State and the County and their people as stated in Section 159.26,
Florida Statutes.
(iv) Based solely on representations made by the Company and
information provided to this Authority by the Company in compliance
with the criteria established by the Act, the Company is fully capable
and willing (a) to fulfill its obligations under the Loan Agreement and
any other agreements to be made in connection with the issuance of
the Series 2003 Bond and the use of the Series 2003 Bond proceeds
for refinancing the Prior Indebtedness and financing all or a portion of
the costs of the Improvements, including the obligation to make loan
payments or other payments in amounts sufficient in the aggregate to
pay all of the interest, principal, and redemption premiums, if any, on
the Series 2003 Bond, in the amounts and at the times required, (b) to
5
operate, repair and maintain at their own expense the Facilities and all
other health care facilities of the Company, if any, and (c) to serve the
purposes of the Act and such other responsibilities as may be imposed
under such agreements.
(v) The County and other local agencies will be able to cope
satisfactorily with the impact of the Facilities and will be able to
provide, or cause to be provided when needed, the public facilities,
including utilities and public services, that will be necessary for the
construction, operation, repair and maintenance of the Facilities and
on account of any increase in population or other circumstances
resulting therefrom.
(vi) Adequate provision is made under the Loan Agreement for
the operation, repair and maintenance of the Facilities at the expense
of the Company, for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Series 2003 Bond when and as the same become
due, and payment by the Company of all other costs in connection
with the refinancing and financing, or the operation, maintenance and
administration of the Facilities which are not paid out of the proceeds
from the sale of the Series 2003 Bond or otherwise.
(vii) The costs of the Facilities to be refinanced and the costs of
the Improvements to be financed from the proceeds of the Series
2003 Bond shall be "costs" of a "project" within the meaning of the
Act.
(viii) The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Series 2003 Bond and all other pecuniary obligations under the Loan
Agreement or otherwise, in connection with the issuance of the Series
2003 Bond, shall be payable solely from the loan payments and other
revenues and proceeds received under the Loan Agreement or
otherwise from the operation, sale, lease or other disposition of the
Facilities and other operations of the Company, including proceeds
from insurance condemnation awards and proceeds of any foreclosure
or other realization upon the liens or security interests under the Loan
Agreement and all other related security documents, the proceeds of
the Series 2003 Bond and income from the temporary investment of
the proceeds of the Series 2003 Bond or of such other revenues and
proceeds, as pledged for such payment under the Loan Agreement.
Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the County, the
State, the Authority or of any political subdivision or agency thereof is
pledged to the payment of the Series 2003 Bond or of such other
pecuniary obligations and neither the County, the State, the Authority
nor any political subdivision or agency thereof shall ever be required or
obligated to levy ad valorem taxes on any property within their
territorial limits to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
such Series 2003 Bond or other pecuniary obligations or to pay the
1.1
same from any funds thereof other than such revenues, receipts and
proceeds so pledged, and the Series 2003 Bond shall not constitute a
lien upon any property owned by the County, the Authority or the
State or any political subdivision or agency thereof, other than the
Authority's interest in the Loan Agreement and the property rights,
receipts, revenues and proceeds pledged therefor under and as
provided in the Loan Agreement and any other agreements securing
the Series 2003 Bond.
(ix) A delegated negotiated sale of the Series 2003 Bond is
desirable, and is in the best interest of the Authority and the
Company, for the following reasons: the Series 2003 Bond will be
special and limited obligations of the Authority payable solely out of
revenues and proceeds derived by the Authority pursuant to the Loan
Agreement and the other related security documents, and the
Company will be obligated for the payment of all costs of the Authority
in connection with the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness and the
financing of the Improvements which are not paid out of the Series
2003 Bond proceeds or otherwise; the cost of issuance of the Series
2003 Bond, which will be borne directly or indirectly by the Company
could be greater if the Series 2003 Bond is sold at a public sale by
competitive bids than if the Series 2003 Bond is sold on a negotiated
basis, and a public sale by competitive bids would cause undue delay
in the refinancing and financing; private activity revenue bonds having
the characteristics of the Series 2003 Bond are typically and usually
sold at negotiated sale or privately placed; and authorization of a
delegated negotiated sale of the Series 2003 Bond is necessary in
order to serve the purposes of the Act.
(x) The Company has, after consulting with the Bank,
determined that market and other conditions are now conducive to
proceed with the refinancing of the Prior Indebtedness and the
financing of the Improvements with the proceeds of the Series 2003
Bond.
(xi) All requirements precedent to the adoption of this
Resolution, of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Florida,
including the Act, have been complied with.

proceedings hereunder (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees in all
26
proceedings, including administrative, appellate and bankruptcy proceedings), without
prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Lender, and to recover and enforce any
judgment or decree against the Borrower for any portion of such amounts remaining
unpaid and interest, costs, and expenses as above provided, and to collect in any
manner provided by law, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

upon or reserved to the Lender or the Issuer is intended to be exclusive and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under
this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order
to entitle the Lender or the Issuer to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it
shall not be necessary to give any notice other than such notice as may be required by
this Article. All remedies herein conferred upon or reserved to the Lender or the Issuer
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.04 WAIVERS, ETC. No delay or omission of the Issuer or the
Lender to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such
right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement to the
Issuer and the Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient.
The Issuer or the Lender may waive any default which in its opinion shall have
been remedied before the entry of final judgment or decree in any suit, action or
proceeding instituted by it under the provisions of this Agreement or before the
completion of the enforcement of any other remedy under this Agreement, but no such
waiver shall be effective unless in writing and no such waiver shall extend to or affect
any other existing or any subsequent default or defaults or impair any rights or
remedies consequent thereon.
