but are limited obligations payable solely from the trust estate pledged pursuant
to the payment thereof and shall be a valid claim of the respective holders
thereof only against the trust estate so pledged as aforesaid. Neither the State
of Florida, Miami-Dade County, nor any agency or political subdivision thereof
(other than the Issuer to the limited extent provided in the Indenture) shall
be obligated to pay the principal and redemption price of the Bonds, the interest
th ereon or other costs incident thereto except from the trust estate. Neither

the risks and merits of investing in the Bonds and is capable of bearing the
risk of loss associated with such an investment. Additionally, the Authority
intends to restrict the transfer of the Bonds to sophisticated investors that
can make similar representations. The interest rate on the Bonds shall not exceed
9.00 percent per annum. The maximum interest rate for the month of August 1998
is 8.16 percent. RECOMMENDATION: The Executive Director recommends that the Board approve the
