Findings. The Authority hereby finds and determines that: 12 (1) The Borrowers are each a "health facility" within the meaning of Section 13 2(f) of the Ordinance. 14 (2) Pursuant to Section 4 of the Ordinance, the Authority is authorized and 15 empowered to enter into the Loan Agreement hereinafter referred to. 16 (3) The Authority deems it proper to ratify the prior use and distribution of a 17 Preliminary Official Statement and to delegate to either its Chair or Vice Chair the power to 18 approve the execution and delivery of, in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority, an 19 Official Statement, in such form, and containing such provisions, as such Chair or Vice Chair 20 shall determine. 21 (4) The Authority deems it proper to delegate to either its Chair or Vice Chair 22 the power to execute and deliver, in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority, an 23 Interlocal Agreement between the Authority and the Miami-Dade County Health Facilities 24 Authority, an Interlocal Agreement between the Authority and Miami-Dade County, Florida, and 25 an Interlocal Agreement between the Authority and Monroe County, Florida, each in such form, 26 and containing such provisions, as the individual executing the Interlocal Agreements in the 27 name of, for and on behalf of, the Authority shall determine. 28 (5) The Authority deems it proper to delegate to either its Chair or Vice Chair 29 the power to execute and deliver, in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority, the Loan 30 Agreement, Bond Indenture and Tax Exemption Agreement hereinafter referred to, each in such 31 form, and containing such provisions, as the individual executing each such document in the 32 name of, for and on behalf of, the Authority shall determine. 33 (6) The Authority deems it proper to delegate to either its Chair or Vice Chair 34 the power to approve, in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority, the Master Indenture 35 and Obligation hereinafter referred to, each in such form, and containing such provisions, as the 36 individual executing the Loan Agreement in the name of, for and on behalf of, the Authority 37 shall determine. Page 4 of 11 CHI-1580142v5 Res. No. HFA 2 -07 -3 1 (7) The Authority deems it proper to delegate to either its Chair or Vice Chair 2 the power to execute and deliver, in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority, one or 3 more Bond Purchase Agreements among the Authority, the Borrowers and the Underwriter, each 4 in such form, and containing such provisions, as the individual executing each such document in 5 the name of, for and on behalf of, the Authority shall determine. 6 Section 2. Approval of Negotiated Sale. Pursuant to Section 218.385 of the Florida 7 Statutes, as amended, the sale of the Series 2007 Bonds to the Underwriter on the basis of a 8 negotiated sale rather than a public sale by competitive bid is in the best interests of the 9 Authority and the Borrowers; and the Authority hereby further finds and determines that the 10 following reasons necessitate such sale of the Series 2007 Bonds to the Underwriter through a 11 negotiated sale: 12 (1) Bonds issued by public bodies for the benefit of not - for - profit hospital 13 corporations ( "Hospital Bonds ") generally involve specialized situations and transactions which 14 need detailed analysis, structuring and explanation throughout the course of the issue by 15 sophisticated financial advisors, underwriters, investment bankers and similar parties, such as the 16 Underwriter, experienced in the structuring of issues of Hospital Bonds (hereinafter referred to 17 collectively as "Health -care Underwriters" and individually as a "Health -care Underwriter "), 18 much of which would not generally be available on a timely basis from the ultimate underwriter 19 of Hospital Bonds issued pursuant to a public competitive sale. 20 (2) Hospital Bond issues generally involve a rather detailed and often 21 complicated explanation to potential investors of the structure of the issue, the nature of the 22 underlying hospital corporation and the impact upon each of the foregoing of federal and state 23 health care regulations, including Medicare and Medicaid practices and procedures, and the 24 assistance of a Health -care Underwriter in preparing necessary offering memoranda, official 25 statements and related information is desirable from the standpoint of the hospital corporation 26 involved in the issue and from the standpoint of the public body issuing the Hospital Bonds in 27 insuring full and accurate disclosure of all relevant information. 28 (3) For the foregoing and related reasons, most of the Hospital Bonds 29 heretofore issued throughout the United States have involved participation throughout the 30 structuring and offering process of Health -care Underwriters who have purchased or arranged for 31 the purchase of the Hospital Bonds through a negotiated sale rather than through a public sale by 32 competitive bid; accordingly, the market may well be more receptive to an issue of Hospital 33 Bonds sold on a negotiated basis than to one sold by competitive public sale. 34 (4) Consequently, the presence of the Underwriter throughout the structuring 35 of the Series 2007 Bonds is desirable in attempting to obtain the most attractive financing for the 36 Authority and the Borrowers. 37 Section 3. Authorization of Execution and Delivery of One or More Bond Purchase 38 Agreements. 39 The Authority does hereby authorize and approve the execution and delivery, in the name 40 of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority by either its Chair or Vice Chair, of one or more Bond Page 5 of 11 CHM 580142v5 Res. No. HFA 2-07-3 I Purchase Agreements among the Authority, the Borrowers and the Underwriter, or, with the 2 approval of BHSF, such other or additional underwriter or underwriters as shall be determined 3 by the individual executing the Bond Purchase Agreements in the name of, for, and on behalf of, 4 the Authority, providing for the issuance and sale of the Series 2007 Bonds in an aggregate 5 principal amount not to exceed $800,000,000, excluding any original issue discount and any 6 original issue premium, upon such terms and conditions as the individual executing the Bond 7 Purchase Agreements in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority shall determine, 8 including, but not limited to, such interest rates and purchase prices as such individual shall 9 determine; provided, however, that under the Bond Purchase Agreements the aggregate purchase 10 price of the Series 2007 Bonds, excluding any original issue discount, shall not be less than 98% 11 of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, thereon; and provided 12 further that the total compensation paid for the services of the Underwriter, including any 13 underwriting discount but not including any fees paid to the Underwriter under any interest rate 14 lock agreement or agreements, shall not exceed an amount equal to 2.00% of the aggregate face 15 amount of the Series 2007 Bonds. The determinations hereunder by the individual executing the 16 Bond Purchase Agreements in the name of, for, and on behalf of, the Authority shall be 17 conclusively evidenced by such person's execution and delivery of the Bond Purchase 18 Agreements. When the Bond Purchase Agreements are executed and delivered on behalf of the 19 Authority as hereinabove provided, such Bond Purchase Agreements shall be binding upon the 20 Authority. 21 The award of the sale of the Series 2007 Bonds to the Underwriter is expressly 22 conditioned upon the receipt by the Authority of a disclosure statement of the Underwriter 23 prepared in accordance with Section 218.385 of the Florida Statutes, as amended, which receipt 24 shall be evidenced by the Authority's execution and delivery of the Bond Purchase Agreements. 25 The Bond Purchase Agreements shall also contain a "Truth-in-Bonding Statement" in 26 conformance with the requirements of Section 218.385 of the Florida Statutes, as amended. 27 Section 4.
