nothing in the Note or in this Resolution shall be construed as pledging any other funds or assets of the Issuer
to such payment. The Issuer is not and shall not be liable for the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Note or for the performance of any pledge, obligation or agreement undertaken by Issuer from any
property other than the Pledged Revenues as hereinafter described. No Owner of the Note shall have any
right to resort to legal or equitable action to require or compel the Issuer to make any payment required

The Issuer hereby grants a pledge of and lien upon the Public Service Tax Revenues and any
Designated Revenues to secure its obligations hereunder, under the Note and under the Loan Agreement.
The Issuer covenants that, so long as the Note shall remain unpaid, it will appropriate in its annual
budget and by amendment, if required, from Non Ad Valorem Revenues in each fiscal year, amounts
sufficient, together with the other Pledged Revenues, to pay the principal of and interest on the Note as the
same shall become due. In the event that the amount previously budgeted for such purpose is at any time
insufficient to pay principal and interest on the Note, the Issuer covenants to take immediate action to amend
the budget for such fiscal year so as to budget and appropriate an amount sufficient from Non Ad Valorem
Revenues to pay such debt service on the Note. Such covenants to budget and appropriate from Non Ad
Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid and shall continue until such Non Ad Valorem
Revenues sufficient to make all required payments have been budgeted, appropriated and used to pay debt
service on the Note. The Issuer further covenants that the obligation of the Issuer to include the amount of
any principal and interest on the Note in each of its annual budgets or amendments thereto and to pay such
deficiencies from Non Ad Valorem Revenues so long as the Note is outstanding are entered into for the
benefit of the Owners and maybe enforced by them in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants, the Issuer does not covenant to maintain any services or
programs now provided or maintained by the Issuer which generate Non Ad Valorem Revenues.
• Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such Non Ad
Valorem Revenues nor does it preclude the Issuer from pledging in the future its Non Ad Valorem Revenues
to indebtedness other than the Note, nor does it require the Issuer to levy and collect any particular Non Ad
Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Owners a prior claim on the Non Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed
to claims of general creditors of the Issuer. However, the covenants to budget and appropriate in its general
annual budget or amendments thereto for the purposes and in the manner stated herein shall have the effect
of making available for payment of the Note the Non Ad Valorem Revenues of the Issuer, and of placing on
the Issuer a positive duty to appropriate and budget. by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet
its obligations hereunder; subject, however, in all respects to the restrictions of Section 166.241(3), Florida
Statutes, which provides that the governing body of each municipality may not make appropriations for each
fiscal year which, in any one year, which exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other revenue
sources and which makes it unlawful for any officer of any municipal government to draw money from the
treasury except in pursuants of an appropriation made by law.
The Issuer covenants that for so long as the Note shall remain unpaid, it will continue to impose the
Public Service Tax up to the maximum rate permitted by law, so as to produce Public Service Tax Revenues
in each fiscal year of the Issuer which, together with any Designated Revenue received in such fiscal year
at least equal to the principal of and interest due on the Note in such fiscal year.
The Borrower may incur additional indebtedness payable from the Public Service Tax Revenues and
any Designated Revenues and secured thereby on parity with the Note if, but only if, the amount of Public
Service Tax Revenues and any Designated Revenues received by the Issuer during the most recently
concluded fiscal year for which audited financial statements of the Issuer are available were at least 150%
of the maximum amount of principal and interest scheduled to become due on the Note and any such
additional indebtedness in the then current or any future fiscal year of the Issuer. In the event the Issuer
proposed to incur any additional debt which bears a variable rate of interest, if such indebtedness is to be
secured as aforesaid, the proceedings authorizing the issuance of such indebtedness must establish a
maximum interest rate which maybe borne by such indebtedness, and in performing the calculation of the
maximum principal and interest which may be due upon such additional indebtedness, such maximum
interest rate shall be used.
Section 8. Compliance with Tax Requirements. The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees, for the
benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Note, to comply with the requirements applicable to it
contained in Section 103 and Part N of Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of the Code to the extent necessary to
preserve the exclusion of interest on the Note from gross income of the Owners for federal income tax
purposes. Specifically, without intending to limit in any way the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer
covenants and agrees:
(1) to pay to the United States of America from any legally available funds, at the times
required pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code, the excess of the amount earned on all non-purpose
investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(6) of the Code) (other than investments attributed to an
excess described in this sentence) over the amount which would have been earned if such
non-purpose investments were invested at a rate equal to the yield on the Note, plus any income
attributable to such excess (the "Rebate Amount");
(2) to maintain and retain all records pertaining to and to be responsible for making or
causing to be made all determinations and calculations of the Rebate Amount and required payments
of the Rebate Amount as shall be necessary to comply with the Code;
4
(3) to refrain from using proceeds of the Note in a manner that would cause the Note
to be classified as a private activity bond under Section 141(a) of the Code; and
(4) to refrain from taking any action or omitting to take any action if such action or
omission would cause the Note to become an arbitrage bond under Section 103(b) and Section 148
of the Code.
The Issuer understands that the foregoing covenants impose continuing obligations on the Issuer to
comply with the requirements of Section 103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of the Code so long
as such requirements are applicable. -
The Issuer agrees that it will cooperate with the Owner at the written request of the Owner in
providing the Owner any evidence necessary to establish the continuing tax-exempt status of the Note.
Section 9. Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement between the Issuer and the Original Purchaser
in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B is hereby approved, with such changes as may be
approved by the officials of the Issuer executing the same such approval to be conclusively established by
such execution, and the Mayor and Clerk are authorized and directed to execute the same on behalf of the
Issuer, and when executed, the Loan Agreement shall constitute a part of this Resolution the same as if set

the sole and exclusive benefit of the Issuer and the Owner.

in substitution for the Note destroyed, stolen or lost and upon the Owner furnishing the Issuer proof of

reasonable regulations and conditions as the Issuer may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may

hereunder.

that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii)
any document related to thi s Agreement, including the Note and the Note Resolution (collectively a "Claim").
At the request of the Issuer or the Bank, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the "Arbitration Act"). The Arbitration
Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
• Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Arbitration Act, the rules and
procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of J.A.M.S./Endispute or any successor thereof
9
• ("J.A.M.S."), and the terms of this Section 7.16. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this
paragraph shall control.
The arbitration shall be administered by J.A.M.S. and conducted in West Palm Beach, Florida. All
Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any
party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90
days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a
showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additiona160 days. The
arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may
be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.
The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of
limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute
of limitations, the service on J.A.M.S. under applicable J.A.M.S. rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent
of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
This Section 7.16 does not limit the right of the Issuer or the Bank to: (i) exercise self-help remedies,
such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal
property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain
an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a
receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this
Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive
any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this Agreement.
No provision in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction
and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions of this
Agreement or in any Loan Document for arbitration of any controversy or claim.

AND OTHER TAX MATTERS
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
$5,000,000 PROMISSORY NOTE
DATED SEPTEMBER 13, 2002
The undersigned, JoAnn Forsythe, Finance Director of the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the
"Issuer"), an officer of the Issuer responsible for the issuance of the above-referenced Note, makes
the following certification as to the Issuer's expectations in connection with the issuance of the
Issuer's Promissory Note, dated September 13, 2002, in the principal amount of not to exceed
$5,000,000 (the "Note") for purposes of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code") and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Note is being issued on September 13, 2002. The Note is issued in order to provide
funds to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Issuer's Promissory Note dated January 11,
2002 (the "Refinanced Note"), to reimburse the Issuer for capital expenditures incurred in connection
with the construction of the Issuer's public safety facility after September 13, 1999, (which date is
after the date of adoption of Resolution No. 20-96/97 of the Village Council expressing its intent to
seek such reimbursement) and to pay costs of the public safety facility incurred after the date of
issuance of the Note (the "Project").
A portion of the proceeds of the Note in the amount of $1,804,258.79 will be used to
refinance the Refinanced Note on the date hereof. A portion of the proceeds of the Note in the
amount of $2,505,336.84 will be used to reimburse the Issuer for prior capital expenditures on the
date hereof. The remaining balance of the Note ($690,404.37) will be allocated to expenditures on
the Project by the end of the six month period beginning on the date hereof.
The Note is payable from lawfully available non-ad valorem revenues of the Issuer. Except
for such revenues, no amounts are directly or indirectly pledged to pay principal or interest on the
Note, nor are there any other revenues that will be available to pay principal or interest on the Note
even if the Issuer encounters financial difficulties.
Amounts that the Issuer reasonably expects to be used to pay debt service on the Note
constitute a fund used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest
payments on the Note in each year, and such amounts will be depleted at least once each year.
Amounts that the Issuer expects to use to pay principal and interest on the Note may be invested
without regard to any yield limitation.
LJ
Based upon the foregoing, it is not expected that the Note will be an "arbitrage bond" within
the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
Dated this 13th day of September, 2002.

West Palm Beach, Florida 33402-3475
have acted as Village Attorney for the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Village") in
connection with the $5,000,000.00 Note from the Village of Tequesta, Florida, dated
September 13, 2002, and payable to the order of Bank of America, N.A., or registered
assigns. In such capacity, I have examined the following:
A. Resolution No. 79-01/02 adopted by the Village Council on September 12, 2002,
authorizing the issuance of a Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000.00 to finance
various capital projects of the Village and to refinance the Village's Promissory Note,
dated January 11, 2002, and the execution of a Loan Agreement between the Village
and Bank of America, N.A.

166, Florida Statutes, as amended; and

C. Such other documents, certificates, records, and proceedings as I have
considered necessary to enable us to render this opinion.
Based on such examinations, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Resolution has been duly adopted and no further action of the Village of
Tequesta is required to authorize the execution and delivery of the Note and Loan
Agreement specified herein. The Resolution, note and Loan Agreement constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Village, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws related to or affecting creditor's rights generally
or by general principles of equity.
2. The adoption of the Resolution and compliance with the provisions thereof, under
the circumstances contemplated thereby, are permitted under the provisions of the
Charter and, to the best of my knowledge without undertaking any independent
research, do not and will not in any way constitute a breach or default under any
agreement or other instrument to which the Village is a party or any existing law,
regulation, court order or consent decree to which the Village is subject.
3. Except for the attached, to the best of my knowledge, there is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation at law or in equity before or by any court, public board or
body, pending or threatened against or affecting the Village, wherein an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding would materially adversely affect the Village's obligation under
the Resolution, or aversely affect the validity of the Loan Agreement or Note or the
security therefore.

of Fifteen Thousand ($X5,000.00) Dollars situate in Palm Beach County, Florida.
2. At all times material hereto the Plaintiff, JMZ 1'FQUFSTA PROPEItTiES, INC.,

a certain piece of real property situate in Tequesta, Palm Beach County, Florida. Those
Agreements are copied and attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (Purchase and Sale Agreement);
"8" (Agreement' ; and "C" (Re-Purchase Agreement).
5. The property itself and the general layout of the various parcels comprising the
property are depicted in Eachibit "D" hereto.
6. Thie transaction dealt with the VOT's public necessity to acquire land and
con~atruct a village hall or other mutucipal,.civic or cultural facility, as well as acquiring a public
roadway. The parties entered into the above-refcrcnced series of agreements, setting forth the
boundaries and purchase price for the public roadway and municipal site as a means to avoid
•
the time and expenAe of an action to condemn the parcels, which VOT desixed to acquire.
VOT has the power of eminent domain.
7. The parties closed on the transaction on March 16, 1999. VOT acquired Parcel
No. 1, the road right-of-way, a lease of the land under the building on Parcel No. 3 and
ownership of the building. The building extended all the way across the property and iq
generally depicted on Exhibit "D" as the hash mark Atop. The VOT demoliFhed the portion
of the building on Parcel No. 3 and on the road right of way. It has yet to demolish the
remaining portion of the building vn parcel number 1, yet it contemplates doing so in the
immediate future.
8.. It was necessary for the VOT to lease --- temporarily --- the land under tl~e

for Parcel No. 2, as contemplated by the agreement (F•xhibit `B" hereto), but would never
advise JMZ what was to be built or when construction would commence or be expected to be
completed.
X 0. The VOT had already resolved to build its municipal center on Parcel No. Z, but
then reneged on that resolution and opted to submit it to a referendum --- nvt scheduled untii
• December of 2001.
1.1. As the construction of the municipal project would impact on JMZ's right to re-
purchase Parcel No. X, it would not consent to the swap absent confiirm.adon from VOT as to
what was to be built there and when.
12. JMZ notified VOT in March of 2001 that it was exercising its right !.o re-purchase
Parcel No. 1, aP two (2) years had lapsed without VOT constructing anything on the property.
13. VOT refused the re-purchase of Parcel No. 1 by JMZ.
14. VOT contemplates the immediate demolition of the building on Parcel No. 1
some time on or shortly after November 5, 2001.
15. JMZ seeks the remedy of specific performance herein with respect to its right to
re-purchacc Parcel No. 1. It is a unique individual and specific parcel of real e_~Late, and there
• ie no other adequate remedy at law. Hence, JMZ seeks the equitable remedy of specific
performance herein.

RE: $5,000,000 Village of Tequesta, Florida Promissory Note
dated September 13, 2002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Tallahassee, FL
(850)681-3828
We have acted as counsel to the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Issuer") of its $5,000,000
aggregate principal amount Promissory Note dated September 13, 2002 (the "Note"). The Note is
issued pursuant to the Constitution and Laws of the State of Florida, including particularly Article
VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, the Charter of the Issuer
and a resolution adopted by the Issuer January 10, 2002 (the "Resolution"). All terms used herein
in capitalized form and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Resolution.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined the Resolution and other
certifications, agreements, documents and opinions of public officials and other officers and
representatives of the various parties participating in this transaction.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion we have relied upon representations of the
Issuer contained in the Resolution, and upon other certifications, agreements, documents, and
opinions of public officials and other officers and representatives ofthe various parties participating
in this transaction, furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent
investigation. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents and instruments,
the authenticity of documents submitted as originals and the conformity to originals of documents
submitted as copies.

This opinion shall not be deemed or treated as an offering circular, prospectus or official
statement, and is not intended in any way to be a disclosure document used in connection with the
sale or delivery of the Note.
The opinions set forth below are expressly limited to, and we opine only with respect to, the
laws of the State of Florida and the federal income tax laws of the United States of America.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof and
under existing law, as follows:
1. The Issuer is duly created and validly existing as a municipality pursuant to the
Constitution and Laws of the State of Florida, with the power to adopt the Resolution, perform its
obligations thereunder and to issue the Note.
2. The Resolution has been duly adopted by the Issuer and constitutes the valid and
binding action of the Issuer. The Note has been duly authorized and executed by the Issuer and
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance
with its terms, payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Resolution.
• 3. The interest on the Note is excludable from the gross income of the owner thereof for
federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference described in Section 57 of the Code
for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Such
interest may be required to be taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for
purposes of calculating the alternative minimum taxable income of certain corporations. The
opinions expressed in the first sentence of this paragraph are conditioned upon continuing
compliance subsequent to the issuance of the Note by the Issuer with various covenants contained
in the Resolution, including, without limitation, its covenant to complywith applicable requirements
of the Code necessary in order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Note from gross income
for federal income tax purposes. Failure by the Issuer to comply with such requirements could cause
the interest on the Note to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive
to the date of issuance of the Note. No opinion is expressed herein regarding other federal tax
consequences that may arise due to ownership of the Note.
4. The Note is exempt from all present intangible personal property taxes imposed by
the State of Florida.
5. The Note is a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" within the meaning of Section 265
of the Code.
Our opinions expressed herein are predicated upon present laws and interpretations thereof.
• We assume no affirmative obligation with respect to any change of circumstances or law (including
laws that may result from legislation pending before Congress) that may adversely affect the
tax-exempt status of interest on the Note after the date hereof.

and the other documents referred to herein maybe subject to the provisions of the bankruptcy laws
of the United States of America and to other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights, and that their enforcement may
also be subject to equitable principles that may affect remedies or other equitable relief.

that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii)
any document related to this Agreement, including the Note and the Note Resolution (collectively a "Claim").
At the request of the Issuer or the Bank, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the "Arbitration Act"). The Arbitration
Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
• Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Arbitration Act, the rules and
procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of J.A.M.S./Endispute or any successor thereof
9
• ("J.A.M.S."), and the terms of this Section 7.16. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this
paragraph shall control.
The arbitration shall be administered by J.A.M.S. and conducted in West Palm Beach, Florida. All
Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any
party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90
days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a
showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additional 60 days. The
arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may
be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.
The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of
limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute
of limitations, the service on J.A.M.S. under applicable J.A.M.S. rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent
of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant
to the tenors of this Agreement.
This Section 7.16 does not limit the right of the Issuer or the Bank to: (i) exercise self-help remedies,
such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal
property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain
an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a
receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
• By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this
Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive
any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this Agreement.
No provision in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction
and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions of this
Agreement or in any Loan Document for arbitration of any controversy or claim.

RE: $5,000,000 Village of Tequesta, Florida Promissory Note
dated September 13, 2002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Tallahassee, FL
(850)681-3828
We have acted as counsel to the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Issuer") of its $5,000,000
aggregate principal amount Promissory Note dated September 13, 2002 (the "Note"). The Note is
issued pursuant to the Constitution and Laws of the State of Florida, including particularly Article
VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution, Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, the Charter of the Issuer
and a resolution adopted by the Issuer January 10, 2002 (the "Resolution"). All terms used herein
in capitalized form and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the
Resolution.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined the Resolution and other
certifications, agreements, documents and opinions of public officials and other officers and
representatives of the various parties participating in this transaction.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion we have relied upon representations of the
Issuer contained in the Resolution, and upon other certifications, agreements, documents, and
opinions ofpublic officials and other officers and representatives ofthevarious parties participating
in this transaction, furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent
investigation. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents and instruments,
the authenticity of documents submitted as originals and the conformity to originals of documents
submitted as copies.

This opinion shall not be deemed or treated as an offering circular, prospectus or official
statement, and is not intended in any way to be a disclosure document used in connection with the
sale or delivery of the Note.
The opinions set forth below are expressly limited to, and we opine only with respect to, the
laws of the State of Florida and the federal income tax laws of the United States of America.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof and
under existing law, as follows:
1. The Issuer is duly created and validly existing as a municipality pursuant to the
Constitution and Laws of the State of Florida, with the power to adopt the Resolution, perform its
obligations thereunder and to issue the Note.
2. The Resolution has been duly adopted by the Issuer and constitutes the valid and
binding action of the Issuer. The Note has been duly authorized and executed by the Issuer and
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance
with its terms, payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Resolution.
3. The interest on the Note is excludable from the gross income of the owner thereof for
federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference described in Section 57 of the Code
for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. Such
interest may be required to be taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for
purposes of calculating the alternative minimum taxable income of certain corporations. The
opinions expressed in the first sentence of this paragraph are conditioned upon continuing
compliance subsequent to the issuance of the Note by the Issuer with various covenants contained
in the Resolution, including, without limitation, its covenant to complywith applicable requirements
of the Code necessary in order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Note from gross income
for federal income tax purposes. Failure by the Issuer to comply with such requirements could cause
the interest on the Note to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive
to the date of issuance of the Note. No opinion is expressed herein regarding other federal tax
consequences that may arise due to ownership of the Note.
4. The Note is exempt from all present intangible personal property taxes imposed by
the State of Florida.
5. The Note is a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" within the meaning of Section 265
of the Code.
Our opinions expressed herein are predicated upon present laws and interpretations thereof.
We assume no affirmative obligation with respect to any change of circumstances or law (including
laws that may result from legislation pending before Congress) that may adversely affect the
tax-exempt status of interest on the Note after the date hereof.

It is to be understood that the rights of owners of the Note and the enforceability of the Note
and the other documents referred to herein maybe subject to the provisions of the bankruptcy laws
of the United States of America and to other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights, and that their enforcement may
also be subject to equitable principles that may affect remedies or other equitable relief.

RE: $5,000,000.00 Village of Tequesta, Florida
Promissory Note dated September 13, 2002
Ladies and Gentlemen:
,~<_,_,_ t..~ ~-~02-3475
I have acted as Village Attorney for the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the "Village") in
connection with the $5,000,000.00 Note from the Village of Tequesta, Florida, dated
September 13, 2002, and payable to the order of Bank of America, N.A., or registered
assigns. In such capacity, I have examined the following:
A. Resolution No. 79-01/02 adopted by the Village Council on September 12, 2002,
authorizing the issuance of a Note in the principal amount of $5,000,000.00 to finance
various capital projects of the Village and to refinance the Village's Promissory Note,
dated January 11, 2002, and the execution of a Loan Agreement between the Village
and Bank of America, N.A.
B. The Charter of the Village of Tequesta, as amended (the "Charter"), and Chapter
166, Florida Statutes, as amended; and

C. Such other documents, certificates, records, and proceedings as I have
considered necessary to enable us to render this opinion.
Based on such examinations, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Resolution has been duly adopted and no further action of the Village of
Tequesta is required to authorize the execution and delivery of the Note and Loan
Agreement specified herein. The Resolution, note and Loan Agreement constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Village, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws related to or affecting creditor's rights generally
or by general principles of equity.
2. The adoption of the Resolution and compliance with the provisions thereof, under
the circumstances contemplated thereby, are permitted under the provisions of the
Charter and, to the best of my knowledge without undertaking any independent
research, do not and will not in any way constitute a breach or default under any
agreement or other instrument to which the Village is a party or any existing law,
regulation, court order or consent decree to which the Village is subject.
3. Except for the attached, to the best of my knowledge, there is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation at taw or in equity before or by any court, public board or
body, pending or threatened against or affecting the Village, wherein an unfavorable
decision, ruling or finding would materially adversely affect the Village's obligation under
the Resolution, or aversely affect the validity of the Loan Agreement or Note or the
security therefore.
Sincerely,

RECEf V
Plaintiff, JMZ TEQUESTA PROPERTIES, INC., sues the Defendant, VILLAGE OF
TEQL7$STA, and alleges:
1_ This is an action for specific performance for real property of a value in exce9v
of Fifteen Thousand ($X5,000.00) Dollars situate in Palm Beach County, Florida.
2. At all times material hereto the Plaintiff, JMZ TEQUESTA PROPEItTLES, INC.,
(hereinafter `7MZ") was and is a Florida corporation with its principal place of business iocated
in Tequesta, Palm Beach County, Florida.
3. At all dmee material hereto the Defendant, VILLAGE Or TEQUESTA,
(hereinafter "VOT") was and is a municipal corporation organized, e~aisting and operating
under the laws of the State of Florida and is a polidcal sub-division of the State of Florida with
its principal office located in Tequesta, Palm Beach County, Florida.
4. On or about February 1, 1999, the parties entered into a dransaction governed
by a series of written agreements relating to the sale and purchase, leasing and re-purchase of
JMZ v. VfLLAGE OF TEQUESTA
CASE NO.:
a certain piece o£ real property situate in requests, Palma Beach County, Florida. Those
Agreements are copied and attached hereto as Earhibit "A" (Purchase and Sale Agreement);
"B" (Agreement' ;and "C" (Re-Purchase Agreement).
5. The property itself and the general layout of the various parcels comprising the
property are depicted in Exhibit "D" hereto.
6. Thie transaction dealt with the VOT's public necessity to acquire land and
construct a village hall or other municipal, .civic or cultural facility, as well as acquiring a public
roadway. The parties entered into the above-referenced series of agreements, setting forth the
boundaries and purchase price for the public roadway and municipal site as a means to avoid
the time and expenPe of an action to condemn the parcels, which VOT desired to acquire.
VOT has the power of eminent domain.
7. The parties closed on the transaction on March 16, X999. VOT acquired Parcel
No. 1, the road right-of-way, a lease of the land under the building on Parcel No. 3 and
ownership of the building. The building extended all the way across the property and is
generally depicted on Exhibit "D" as the hash mark Atrip. The VOT demolished the portion
of the building on Parcel No. 3 and on the road right of way. It has yet to demoliFh the

CERTIFICATE AS TO ARBITRAGE
AND OTHER TAX MATTERS
VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA, FLORIDA
$5,000,000 PROMISSORY NOTE
DATED SEPTEMBER 13, 2002
The undersigned, JoAnn Forsythe, Finance Director of the Village of Tequesta, Florida (the
"Issuer"), an officer of the Issuer responsible for the issuance of the above-referenced Note, makes
the following certification as to the Issuer's expectations in connection with the issuance of the
Issuer's Promissory Note, dated September 13, 2002, in the principal amount of not to exceed
$5,000,000 (the "Note") for purposes of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the
"Code") and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
The Note is being issued on September 13, 2002. The Note is issued in order to provide
funds to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Issuer's Promissory Note dated January 11,
2002 (the "Refinanced Note"), to reimburse the Issuer for capital expenditures incurred in connection
with the construction of the Issuer's public safety facility after September 13, 1999, (which date is
after the date of adoption of Resolution No. 20-96/97 of the Village Council expressing its intent to
seek such reimbursement) and to pay costs of the public safety facility incurred after the date of
issuance of the Note (the "Project").
A portion of the proceeds of the Note in the amount of $1,804,258.79 will be used to
refinance the Refinanced Note on the date hereof. A portion of the proceeds of the Note in the
amount of $2,505,336.84 will be used to reimburse the Issuer for prior capital expenditures on the
date hereof. The remaining balance of the Note ($690,404.37) will be allocated to expenditures on
the Project by the end of the six month period beginning on the date hereof.
The Note is payable from lawfully available non-ad valorem revenues of the Issuer. Except
for such revenues, no amounts are directly or indirectly pledged to pay principal or interest on the
Note, nor are there any other revenues that will be available to pay principal or interest on the Note
even if the Issuer encounters financial difficulties.
Amounts that the Issuer reasonably expects to be used to pay debt service on the Note
constitute a fund used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest
payments on the Note in each year, and such amounts will be depleted at least once each year.
Amounts that the Issuer expects to use to pay principal and interest on the Note may be invested
without regard to any yield limitation.
Based upon the foregoing, it is not expected that the Note will be an "arbitrage bond" within
the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
Dated this 13th day of September, 2002.

any controversies or claims between the Issuer and the Bank, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute,
that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii)
any document related to this Agreement, including the Note and the Note Resolution (collectively a "Claim").
At the request of the Issuer or the Bank, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the "Arbitration Act"). The Arbitration
Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Arbitration Act, the rules and
procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of J.A.M.S./Endispute or any successor thereof
9
("J.A.M.S."), and the terms of this Section 7.16. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this
paragraph shall control.
The arbitration shall be administered by J.A.M.S. and conducted in West Palm Beach, Florida. All
Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any
party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90
days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a
showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additiona160 days. The
arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may
be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.
The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of
limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute
of limitations, the service on J.A.M.S. under applicable J.A.M.S. rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent
of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
This Section 7.16 does not limit the right of the Issuer or the Bank to: (i) exercise self-help remedies,
such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal
property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain
an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a
receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this
Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive
any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this Agreement.
No provision in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction
and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions of this
Agreement or in any Loan Document for arbitration of any controversy or claim.

The Person in whose name the Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of principal and interest on the Note shall be made only to or
upon the written order of the Owner. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge
the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 7. Payment of Principal and Interest; Limited Obligation; Additional Debt. The Issuer
promises that it will promptly pay the principal of and interest on the Note at the place, on the dates and in
the manner provided therein according to the true intent and meaning hereof and thereof, provided that the
principal of and interest on the Note is payable from the Pledged Revenues as hereinafter described, and
nothing in the Note or in this Resolution shall be construed as pledging any other funds or assets of the Issuer
to such payment. The Issuer is not and shall not be liable for the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Note or for the performance of any pledge, obligation or agreement undertaken by Issuer from any
property other than the Pledged Revenues as hereinafter described. No Owner of the Note shall have any
right to resort to legal or equitable action to require or compel the Issuer to make any payment required
hereby or by the Note except from the Pledged Revenues as hereinafter described.
The Issuer hereby grants a pledge of and lien upon the Public Service Tax Revenues and any
Designated Revenues to secure its obligations hereunder, under the Note and under the Loan Agreement.
The Issuer covenants that, so long as the Note shall remain unpaid, it will appropriate in its annual
budget and by amendment, if required, from Non Ad Valorem Revenues in each fiscal year, amounts
sufficient, together with the other Pledged Revenues, to pay the principal of and interest on the Note as the
same shall become due. In the event that the amount previously budgeted for such purpose is at any time
insufficient to pay principal and interest on the Note, the Issuer covenants to take immediate action to amend
the budget for such fiscal year so as to budget and appropriate an amount sufficient from Non Ad Valorem
Revenues to pay such debt service on the Note. Such covenants to budget and appropriate from Non Ad
Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the extent not paid and shall continue until such Non Ad Valorem
Revenues sufficient to make all required payments have been budgeted, appropriated and used to pay debt
service on the Note. The Issuer further covenants that the obligation of the Issuer to include the amount of
any principal and interest on the Note in each of its annual budgets or amendments thereto and to pay such
deficiencies from Non Ad Valorem Revenues so long as the Note is outstanding are entered into for the
benefit of the Owners and may be enforced by them in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing covenants, the Issuer does not covenant to maintain any services or
programs now provided or maintained by the Issuer which generate Non Ad Valorem Revenues.
Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such Non Ad
Valorem Revenues nor does it preclude the Issuer from pledging in the future its Non Ad Valorem Revenues
to indebtedness other than the Note, nor does it require the Issuer to levy and collect any particular Non Ad
Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Owners a prior claim on the Non Ad Valorem Revenues as opposed
to claims of general creditors of the Issuer. However, the covenants to budget and appropriate in its general
annual budget or amendments thereto for the purposes and in the manner stated herein shall have the effect
of making available for payment of the Note the Non Ad Valorem Revenues of the Issuer, and of placing on
the Issuer a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet
its obligations hereunder; subject, however, in all respects to the restrictions of Section 166.241(3), Florida
Statutes, which provides that the governing body of each municipality may not make appropriations for each
fiscal year which, in any one year, which exceed the amount to be received from taxation or other revenue
sources and which makes it unlawful for any officer of any municipal government to draw money from the
treasury except in pursuants of an appropriation made by law.
The Issuer covenants that for so long as the Note shall remain unpaid, it will continue to impose the
Public Service Tax up to the maximum rate permitted by law, so as to produce Public Service Tax Revenues
in each fiscal year of the Issuer which, together with any Designated Revenue received in such fiscal year
at least equal to the principal of and interest due on the Note in such fiscal year.
The Borrower may incur additional indebtedness payable from the Public Service Tax Revenues and
any Designated Revenues and secured thereby on parity with the Note if, but only if, the amount of Public
Service Tax Revenues and any Designated Revenues received by the Issuer during the most recently
concluded fiscal year for which audited financial statements of the Issuer are available were at least 150%
of the maximum amount of principal and interest scheduled to become due on the Note and any such
additional indebtedness in the then current or any future fiscal year of the Issuer. In the event the Issuer
proposed to incur any additional debt which bears a variable rate of interest, if such indebtedness is to be
secured as aforesaid, the proceedings authorizing the issuance of such indebtedness must establish a
maximum interest rate which may be borne by such indebtedness, and in performing the calculation of the
maximum principal and interest which may be due upon such additional indebtedness, such maximum
interest rate shall be used.
Section 8. Compliance with Tax Requirements. The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees, for the
benefit of the Owners from time to time of the Note, to comply with the requirements applicable to it
contained in Section 103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of the Code to the extent necessary to
preserve the exclusion of interest on the Note from gross income of the Owners for federal income tax
purposes. Specifically, without intending to limit in any way the generality of the foregoing, the .Issuer
covenants and agrees:
(1) to pay to the United States of America from any legally available funds, at the times
required pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code, the excess of the amount earned on all non-purpose
investments (as defined in Section 148(f)(6) of the Code) (other than investments attributed to an
excess described in this sentence) over the amount which would have been earned if such
non-purpose investments were invested at a rate equal to the yield on the Note, plus any income
attributable to such excess (the "Rebate Amount");
(2) to maintain and retain all records pertaining to and to be responsible for making or
causing to be made all determinations and calculations of the Rebate Amount and required payments
of the Rebate Amount as shall be necessary to comply with the Code;
4
(3) to refrain from using proceeds of the Note in a manner that would cause the Note
to be classified as a private activity bond under Section 141(a) of the Code; and
(4) to refrain from taking any action or omitting to take any action if such action or
omission would cause the Note to become an arbitrage bond under Section 103(b) and Section 148
of the Code.
The Issuer understands that the foregoing covenants impose continuing obligations on the Issuer to
comply with the requirements of Section 103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of the Code so long
as such requirements are applicable.
The Issuer agrees that it will cooperate with the Owner at the written request of the Owner in
providing the Owner any evidence necessary to establish the continuing tax-exempt status of the Note.
Section 9. Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement between the Issuer and the Original Purchaser
in substantially the foam attached hereto as Exhibit B is hereby approved, with such changes as may be
approved by the officials of the Issuer executing the same such approval to be conclusively established by
such execution, and the Mayor and Clerk are authorized and directed to execute the same on behalf of the
Issuer, and when executed, the Loan Agreement shall constitute a part of this Resolution the same as if set
forth herein in its entirety.
Section 10. Amendment. This Resolution shall not be modified or amended in any respect
subsequent to the issuance of the Note except with the written consent of the Owner of the Note.

claim under or with respect to this Resolution or any covenants, conditions and provisions herein contained;
this Resolution and all of the covenants, conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the Issuer and the Owner.
Section 12. Note Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case the Note shall become mutilated,
or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall issue and deliver a new Note of like tenor as the Note so
mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and in substitution for such mutilated bond, or in lieu of and
in substitution for the Note destroyed, stolen or lost and upon the Owner furnishing the Issuer proof of
ownership thereof and indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and complying with such other
reasonable regulations and conditions as the Issuer may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer may
incur. The Note so surrendered shall be cancelled.
Section 13. Impairment of Contract. The Issuer covenants with the Owner of the Note that it will
not, without the written consent of the Owner of the Note, enact any ordinance or resolution which repeals,
impairs or amends in any manner adverse to the Owner the rights granted to the Owner of the Note
hereunder.
Section 14. Remedies of Noteholder. Should the Issuer default in any obligation created by this
Resolution, the Loan Agreement or the Note, the Owner of the Note may, in addition to any other remedies
set forth in this Resolution, the Loan Agreement or the Note, either at law or in equity, by suit, action,
mandamus or other proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction, protect and enforce any and all rights
under the laws of the State of Florida, or granted or contained in this Resolution, the Loan Agreement or the
5
Note and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties required by this Resolution, the Loan
Agreement or the Note or by any applicable statutes to be performed by the Issuer or by any officer thereof.
Section 15. Severability. If any provision of this Resolution shall be held or deemed to be or shall,
in fact, be illegal, inoperative or unenforceable in any context, the same shall not affect any other provision
herein or render any other provision (or such provision in any other context) invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable to any extent whatever.
Section 16. Business Days. In any case where the due date of interest on or principal of the Note
is not a Business Day, then payment of principal or interest need not be made on such date but maybe made
on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that credit for payments made shall not be given until the
payment is actually received by the Owner. Credit for payments ofprincipal and interest on the Note received
after 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day shall not be given until the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall
continue to accrue.

by this Agreement.
Section 7.15 Incorporation by Reference. All of the terms and obligations ofthe Note Resolution
are hereby incorporated herein by reference as if said Note Resolution was fully set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.16 Arbitration and Waiver of Jury Trial. This Section 7.16 concerns the resolution of
any controversies or claims between the Issuer and the Bank, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute,
that arise out of or relate to: (i) this Agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii)
any document related to this Agreement, including the Note and the Note Resolution (collectively a "Claim").
At the request of the Issuer or the Bank, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U. S. Code) (the "Arbitration Act"). The Arbitration
Act will apply even though this Agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state.
Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Arbitration Act, the rules and
procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of J.A.M.S./Endispute or any successor thereof
9
("J.A.M.S."), and the terms of this Section 7.16. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this
paragraph shall control.
The arbitration shall be administered by J.A.M.S. and conducted in West Palm Beach, Florida. All
Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed $5,000,000, upon the request of any
party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within 90
days of the demand for arbitration and close within 90 days of commencement and the award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be issued within 30 days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a
showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the hearing for up to an additiona160 days. The
arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration award may
be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced.
The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to decide whether any Claim is barred by the statute of
limitations and, if so, to dismiss the arbitration on that basis. For purposes of the application of the statute
of limitations, the service on J.A.M.S. under applicable J.A.M.S. rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent
of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable
shall be determined by the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
This Section 7.16 does not limit the right of the Issuer or the Bank to: (i) exercise self-help remedies,
such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure against any real or personal
property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain
an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession or appointment of a
receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies.
By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may
have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending in any way to limit this
Agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive
any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This provision is a material inducement
for the parties entering into this Agreement.
No provision in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents regarding submission to jurisdiction
and/or venue in any court is intended or shall be construed to be in derogation of the provisions of this
Agreement or in any Loan Document for arbitration of any controversy or claim.
