All Cellular phones and pagers must be turned off during the meeting.

The District Agenda is comprised of five different sections:

The meeting will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. with the first section which is called Audience Comments. The Audience Comment portion of the agenda is where individuals may comment on matters that concern the District. Each individual is limited to three (3) minutes for such comment. The Board of Supervisors or Staff is not obligated to provide a response until sufficient time for research or action is warranted. IF THE COMMENT CONCERNS A MAINTENANCE RELATED ITEM, THE ITEM WILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE DISTRICT MANAGER OUTSIDE THE CONTEXT OF THIS MEETING. The second section is called the Business Administration section and contains items that require the review and approval of the District Board of Supervisors as a normal course of business. The third section is called Business Items. The business items section contains items for approval by the District Board of Supervisors that may require discussion, motion and votes on an item-by-item basis. Occasionally, certain items for decision within this section are required by Florida Statute to be held as a Public Hearing. During the Public Hearing portion of the agenda item, each member of the public will be permitted to provide one comment on the issue, prior to the Board of Supervisors’ discussion, motion and vote. Agendas can be reviewed by contacting the Manager’s office at (813) 994-1001 at least seven days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Requests to place items on the agenda must be submitted in writing with an explanation to the District Manager at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date of the meeting. The fourth section is called Staff Reports. This section allows the District Manager, Engineer, and Attorney to update the Board of Supervisors on any pending issues that are being researched for Board action. The final section is called Audience Comments and Supervisor Requests. This is the section in which the Supervisors may request Staff to prepare certain items in an effort to meet residential needs. Public workshops sessions may be advertised and held in an effort to provide informational services. These sessions allow staff or consultants to discuss a policy or business matter in a more informal manner and allow for lengthy presentations prior to scheduling the item for approval. Typically no motions or votes are made during these sessions.

Pursuant to provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, any person requiring special accommodations to participate in this meeting is asked to advise the District Office at (813) 994-1001, at least 48 hours before the meeting.

Public Resources Advisory Group

Public Resources Advisory Group An Independent Municipal Financial Advisory Firm

Public Resources Advisory Group, Inc. (“PRAG”) is an independent municipal financial advisory firm dedicated to advising municipal bond issuers in financial transactions.

As a municipal financial advisor, we have a fiduciary duty to our municipal clients. To limit any potential conflicts of interest, PRAG does not engage in any form of securities underwriting, trading, or marketing, nor do we have any affiliates which engage in these activities.

PRAG’S EXPERIENCE: PRAG was founded in 1985 to provide independent and comprehensive financing support to state and local governments, and has served governments, agencies and not-for profits for 30 years. PRAG has offices in Florida, New York, California and Pennsylvania and consistently ranks in the top three nationally by volume among municipal financial advisors. Last year PRAG advised on the issuance of over $30 billion in long-term municipal debt.

In Florida, PRAG advises major municipal bond issuers including the State of Florida, Miami-Dade County, Broward County, Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, the City of Tampa and the Florida League of Cities as well as other municipal bond issuers throughout the State. Our senior staff has experience with tax-exempt real estate financing and we understand the market, structuring and credit of Florida Community Development District Bonds.

PRAG’S ROLE: PRAG, as an Independent Registered Municipal Advisor, is the only financial professional in the transaction with a fiduciary duty to represent the financial interests of the Issuer and often the only professional who can freely provide specific financial advice. Our only role is to represent the interests of the issuer of municipal bonds. We advise on issues such as:

Is this the right time to issue bonds?

Is the level of refunding savings reasonable in comparison to

the level of negative arbitrage?

Is now the time to use the only allowable advance refunding?

Should the District issue bonds or obtain a bank loan?

How should the debt be structured?

Will bond insurance add value?

Is the marketing plan appropriate to target the widest possible

investor pool?

Is the call option valued appropriately?

Are the fees, coupons and yields appropriate for the structure,

credit and market?

REGISTERED MUNICIPAL ADVISOR: PRAG is registered as a municipal advisor with the MSRB (MSRB ID K0133) and the SEC (Municipal Advisor Registration Number 867-00146). In addition, PRAG is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 in the states of California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.

PRAG’S RESOURCES: PRAG distinguishes itself by offering our clients the same level of sophistication and software available to the largest Wall Street firms to analyze securities, and develop and implement hedging techniques. We subscribe to a variety of publications and information services.

PRAG provides detailed market analyses of fees, spreads and interest rates for other issues with similar terms and conditions priced close to the date of negotiation. During the actual pricing of the bonds, PRAG evaluates pricing data relationships – spreads to Municipal Market Data Index (“MMD”), yield to maturity spreads to MMD, and orders as a percentage of available bonds. This allows our clients to be better informed and able to negotiate more favorable pricing terms. We constantly monitor order flow, rather than passively wait for the underwriter to share select information. PRAG utilizes such information fully in order to best prepare issuers in advance of price negotiations with underwriters.

PRAG’S SERVICES: In fulfilling our fiduciary duty, PRAG provides a range of services including:

Board Education

Credit Review and Analysis

Bond Market Analysis

Refunding Savings Analysis

Bond Issue vs. Bank Loan Analysis

Underwriter/Bank Solicitation Process

Rating Agency Management

Bond Insurance Analysis and Management

Debt Structuring

Bond Documentation Review

Bond Purchase Agreement Negotiation

Bond Marketing Plan Review

Underwriting Fees, Couponing and Pricing Negotiation

Investor Order Book, Unsold Balances and Allocation Review

Escrow Funding

Closing Management

Pricing Fairness Analysis

RE: Municipal Advisory Services in Connection with Issuance of Municipal Securities

Dear Chairman Walz:

The purpose of this letter is to document the relationship between Public Resources Advisory Group

(“PRAG”) and the Concord Station Community Development District (the “District”). The District desires to

utilize the services of PRAG as an independent registered municipal advisor in connection with the potential

purchase and financing of the Concord Station Clubhouse currently owned by the developer of Concord Station

and the potential refunding of the District’s Capital Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2005.

The scope of services for this engagement will include:

1. Provide an overview of the municipal bond market and the bond issuance process as desired by the

District.

2. Develop an analytical framework to allow the District to evaluate the financial costs, benefits and risks of

purchasing the Clubhouse incorporating the following:

a. The financial obligations the existing Club Plan places on homeowners;

b. The terms of the Purchase Option under the existing Club Plan;

c. The results of previous purchases of clubhouses by other Community Development Districts

including a comparison of final purchase prices compared to purchase options included in the

Community Declarations; and,

d. The third-party market for similar clubhouses in Florida.

3. Evaluate the net long-term financial impact to homeowners and the District at the expected purchase price

incorporating the most beneficial debt structure.

4. Review the purchase details including any appraisals, condition reports, and professionally recommended

repairs, improvements or reserves.

5. If the District decides to pursue the purchase of the Clubhouse, recommend whether the purchase and the

refunding should be structured as combined or separate financings.

6. Coordinate the financing team as the District’s fiduciary representative.

7. Assist in determining the optimal timing for the bond issue(s) to go to the market taking into account

market conditions, the expected current credit rating on the bonds, the expectations of improved credit

ratings due to continued build-out, and the timing required to negotiate and execute the Clubhouse

purchase, if the District decides to pursue the purchase.

8. Develop and maintain timetables, task lists and distribution lists for the transaction(s).

- 2 -

9. Monitor developments in the municipal market and advise the District on financial structures that will best

meet its needs, including an evaluation of whether the District should utilize a bank loan or a bond issue.

10. If a bank loan is determined to be the desired structure, PRAG will assist in development and

dissemination of RFP to banks including credit package and due diligence materials. PRAG will prepare

analysis of responses for consideration by the District.

11. It is understood that the District has engaged an investment banker/underwriter/placement agent for the

refunding of the District’s Series 2005 Bonds. PRAG will assist in selection of the other financing team

professionals including additional underwriters (if any), paying agents, trustees, consultants, official

statement printers, verification agents, appraisers and others as required to successfully execute the

transaction.

12. If more than one underwriters are involved in any bond issue(s), recommend and manage an underwriting

syndicate structure that allows meaningful participation by all underwriters and incentivizes the broad

distribution of the District’s bonds.

13. Assist in development and review of all bond documents with a particular focus on the credit, financial

and regulatory implications for the District.

14. Provide advice and assistance in preparation and presentations to the rating agencies including, but not

limited to, bond issuance documentation for the purpose of obtaining the best possible rating for the

District’s bonds.

15. Evaluate the applicability of credit enhancement for the District’s bonds and, if credit enhancement

appears to be available and beneficial, provide advice and assistance in preparation and presentations to

potential credit enhancers.

16. Provide assistance in the composition of the preliminary and final official statements for any public

offering of securities, which shall conform to current acceptable disclosure guideline standards, so as to

make the most favorable full and accurate disclosure to the rating agencies and investing public.

17. Review any Special Assessment Allocation Report prepared in connection with the issuance of debt.

18. Advise on term, structure and marketing strategies for bond sales, including but not limited to maturities,

coupon rates, call features, security provisions, credit enhancement (if applicable), costs of issuance,

underwriting fees, reserve requirements and debt service requirements.

19. Provide market information including comparable sales during the pricing and structuring of the bond

sale(s).

20. Monitor the lead underwriter’s order flow during the order period and evaluate and negotiate preliminary

and final bond pricing in light of orders, market conditions, and unsold balances.

21. Review and approve the lead underwriter’s proposed allocation of bonds to investors.

22. Prepare a post-sale report for the Board on the pricing results including preliminary and final pricing,

orders, market conditions and comparable sales.

23. Assist in the preparation and review all necessary closing documents including funding and wire transfer

instructions.

24. Review all legal opinions.

25. Coordinate bond closing with other members of the financing team and attend all Pre-Closings and

Closings as deemed necessary.

- 3 -

PRAG’s compensation shall be paid from debt proceeds as follows:

If, after PRAG’s evaluation, the District decides not to pursue the purchase of the Clubhouse or is unable

to come to terms with the owner, PRAG will be paid a fee of $20,000 plus expenses for serving as the

District’s independent registered municipal advisor in connect with the issuance of debt to refund the

District’s Series 2005 bonds.

If, after PRAG’s evaluation, the District decides to pursue the purchase of the Clubhouse and finances the

purchase in a combined financing that also refunds the District’s Series 2005 bonds, PRAG will be paid a

fee of $35,000 plus expenses for serving as the District’s independent registered municipal advisor in

connection with the combined financing.

If, after PRAG’s evaluation, the District decides to pursue the purchase of the Clubhouse and the

refunding of the District’s Series 2005 bonds in separate financings, PRAG will be paid a fee of $20,000

plus expenses for each issue for serving as the District’s independent registered municipal advisor in

connection with each separate financing.

If the District does not issue or incur debt for the purchase of the Clubhouse or to refund the Series 2005

bonds within three years of the date of this letter, the District will not owe any fee or obligation to PRAG

other than payment of any expenses incurred as described below.

Expenses shall include, but are not limited to travel, hotel, and meals (reimbursed pursuant to Section 112.061,

Florida Statutes), air freight and courier charges, teleconferencing charges, allocation of computer software and

information services, and direct third-party payments made on behalf of the District. In no event will expenses

exceed $2,000 without the approval of the District.

To provide transparency for our fee proposals, PRAG currently has active contracts with Hillsborough County, the

City of Tampa and the Florida League of Cities which have a $20,000 minimum fee for each bond issue, plus

expenses. PRAG also has active contracts with other issuers in Florida with a higher minimum fee per bond issue.

PRAG has no contracts in Florida with a minimum fee of less than $20,000 for a bond issue.

PRAG has no arrangement or relationship with any developer, builder or underwriter of municipal securities.

Since PRAG’s fees are dependent upon the issuance of debt and could depend on the number of debt issuances by

the District, PRAG may have a conflict of interest related to the number of debt issuances by the District. PRAG

is not aware of any other conflicts in connection with providing services to the District.

Sincerely,

PUBLIC RESOURCES ADVISORY GROUP

The Underwriting Fee may be modified pursuant to a delegation or award resolution approved by the Board and consented to by the Underwriter.

2. Price and Interest Rates: The offering price and interest rates are expected to be based on recent comparable transactions in the market, if any.

the market for special assessment bonds similar to the Bonds and the assumptions that:

To assist FMS in the underwriting the District will (a) provide and cause the District's staff and its professionals to provide FMS upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by FMS to complete the underwritings, included but not limited to, information and evaluations prepared by the District and its advisors; and (b) otherwise assist FMS in its underwriting efforts.

The engagement contemplated hereby and this agreement are solely for the benefit of the District and FMS and their respective successors, assigns and representatives and no other person or entity shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue hereof.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations with respect thereto. This Agreement

may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be an original but all of such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

ATTACHMENT II

MSRB Rule G-17 Disclosure--- The District has engaged FMS to serve as underwriter, and not as a financial advisor or municipal advisor, in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. As part of our services as underwriter, FMS may provide advice concerning the structure, timing, terms, and other similar matters concerning the issuance of the Bonds. We may also have provided such advice as part of the process of seeking to be selected to serve as your underwriter. Any such advice was provided by FMS as an underwriter and not as your financial advisor in this transaction.

Pursuant to the Notice, we are required by the MSRB to advise you that:

• MSRB Rule G-17 requires an underwriter to deal fairly at all times with both municipal issuers and investors.

• The underwriter' s primary role is to purchase the Bonds with a view to distribution in an arm' s-length commercial transaction with the Issuer. As such, the underwriter has financial and other interests that differ from those of the Issuer.

• Unlike a municipal advisor, the underwriter does not have a fiduciary duty to the Issuer under the federal securities laws and are, therefore, not required by federal law to act in the best interests of the Issuer without regard to their own financial or other interests.

• The underwriter has a duty to purchase the Bonds from the Issuer at a fair and reasonable price, but must balance that duty with its duty to sell the Bonds to investors at prices that are fair and reasonable.

• As underwriter, we will review the disclosure document for the Bonds in accordance with, and as part of, our responsibilities to investors under the federal securities laws, as applied to the facts and circumstances of this transaction. 1

The underwriter will be compensated by a fee and/or a fee that will be set forth in the bond purchase agreement to be negotiated and entered into in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Payment or receipt of the underwriting fee or discount will be contingent on the closing of the transaction and the amount of the fee or discount may be based, in whole or in part, on a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds. While this form of compensation is customary in the municipal securities market, it presents a conflict of interest since an underwriter may have an incentive to recommend a transaction that is unnecessary or to recommend that the size of a transaction be larger than is necessary. The District acknowledges no such recommendation has been made by FMS.

1 Under federal securities law, an issuer of securities has the primary responsibility for disclosure to investors. The review of the offering document by the underwriters is solely for purposes of satisfying the underwriters' obligations under the federal securities laws and such review should not be construed by an issuer as a guarantee of the accuracy or completeness of the information in the offering document.

Please note nothing in this letter is an expressed nor an implied commitment by us to provide financing or to purchase or place the Bonds or any other securities. Any such commitment shall only be set forth in a bond purchase agreement or other appropriate form of agreement for the type of transaction undertaken by you.

Further, our participation in the transaction contemplated herein remains subject to, among other things, the execution of a bond purchase agreement (or other appropriate form of agreement), further internal review and approvals, satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigation and market conditions.

FMS is acting independently in seeking to act as an underwriter in the transactions contemplated herein and shall not be deemed for any purpose to be acting as an agent, joint venturer or partner of any other principal involved in the proposed financing. FMS assumes no responsibility, express or implied, for any actions or omissions of, or the performance of services by, the other underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise.

If you or any other Issuer representatives have any questions or concerns about these disclosures, please make those questions or concerns known immediately to FMS. In addition, Issuer should consult with its own financial, municipal, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors, as applicable, to the extent it deems appropriate. Depending on the final structure of the transaction that the District and FMS decide to pursue, or if additional actual or perceived material conflicts are identified, we may be required to send you additional disclosures.

Re: Engagement as counsel for Concord Station Community Development District (the "District") in the proposed purchase of Concord Station Club property located in Pasco County, Florida (the "Property") from Concord Station, LLP (the "Seller")

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter will serve as a proposal for our fitm ' s engagement as counsel to the District in the proposed purchase of the Property from the Seller.

I have attached to this letter some information about our firm, as well as the lawyers listed below that would potentially be engaged on this matter. Of course, we are more than happy to meet with you in person and/or provide you with any additional information you may need about our firm and our qualifications.

We would propose to represent the District in connection with the proposed purchase based upon an hourly billing arrangement.

Below we are listing the names and current hourly rates of those that we believe will initially be involved with this matter.

R. James Robbins, Jr. Morris Massey Jill Bell

$420 $375 $220

Shareholder Shareholder Associate

We will also use legal assistants whose current hourly rates range from $175.00 to $185.00 per hour, whenever possible. I would note that our hourly rates are subject to adjustment on an annual basis, typically in January of each year.

Please also note that the District will be responsible for all of our out-of-pocket costs that we incur in the course of our representation. Such costs may include messenger services, filing fees and other out-of-pocket expenditures. We will provide you with detailed invoices for our work on a monthly basis, and we will require payment within thirty (30) days of your receipt of our statements.

The attached engagement terms are part of this letter. If the terms in this letter and the attached engagement terms are satisfactory to you, please so indicate by signing and returning to me the enclosed copy of this letter.

I would note in connection with our representation of the District in this matter, that we will need to obtain a joint conflict waiver letter executed by both the District and the Seller and its related party, Lennar Homes, LLC. Our firm is currently engaged by Lennar Homes, LLC and its affiliates ("Lennar") on various matters unrelated to the Property, the District or this transaction. We do not believe that our ongoing representation of Lennar on other matters will adversely affect our potential representation of the District in this matter, and, in fact, we have verbally confirmed with Lennar that it is agreeable to waiving any conflict that may potentially exist. In this regard, if we are retained by the District, we will undertake to prepare a joint conflict waiver letter to be executed by the District and Lennar that confirms that in this matter we are strictly representing the District, but that we will continue to represent Lennar in other unrelated matters. The District and Lennar will acknowledge in the joint conflict waiver letter that our ongoing representation of Lennar on other matters and the District in this matter, to the extent that any potential conflict may exist, have been waived by Lennar and the District. Of course, the joint conflict waiver letter will provide that in the event of any irreconcilable difference, litigation or similar dispute between the parties, our firm will not be able to represent either party related to any such dispute or litigation.

We appreciate the opportunity to represent the District in this matter and very much look forward to working with you on this matter.

Sincerely,

HILL, WARD & HENDERSON, P.A.

Engagement Terms

We appreciate the opportunity to serve as your legal counsel for the matter described in our accompanying representation letter. These supplemental terms of engagement apply to all legal services that we provide on your behalf and summarize our billing practices and administratiye procedures.

Unless otherwise specified in the representation letter, we will render monthly invoices throughout our representation, and our invoices are due within thirty days. Our invoices typically contain a brief description of the work performed, the individual performing the work, the time required to perform the work, and itemize the costs incurred. In the event the State of Florida should enact a tax on legal services, the required tax will be added to our invoice.

If we have received an advance fee deposit from you, we will apply the fee deposit to the last monthly invoice for the matter. If the fee deposit exceeds the amount of our final bill, we will refund the excess to you. We reserve the right to apply any advance fee to interim invoices and, if we do, you agree to promptly replenish the advance fee at our request.

Except in contingent or fixed-fee representations, our fees normally will be based on the hourly billing rates for the lawyers and paralegals performing the services. We record billable work performed in increments of one-tenth of an hour and periodically adjust the hourly billing rates of our lawyers and paralegals to recognize advancement in their knowledge or experience, and to reflect increases in the cost associated with the performance of legal services.

Our invoices may include cost advances that we have made on your behalf and charges for internal services. Cost advances include such items as travel expenses, courier services, service of process fees, photocopy charges by third parties, filing fees, recording fees, lien and judgment searches, expert witnesses, court reporter services, corporate record books, and registration fees charged by governmental authorities. Such costs advanced on your behalf will be billed to you without any mark-up for our administrative cost to process and pay the invoices. While traveling on client business, the firm charges for travel time at standard hourly rates and will charge all costs advanced for airline, hotel, rental cars, meals, etc. at cost to your account. We may request a cost deposit when we expect to incur substantial costs on your behalf.

Internal services typically include such items as postage, photocopies, fax transmissions, computer research expense, mileage incurred by internal messengers, and other costs necessitated by the representation. The charge made for these internal services may be based on customary market rates, or by pro-rata allocation of consolidated billing statements from vendors, or on a subjective unit-cost basis for ease of administration, which may not be indicative of actual cost.

You are responsible for all advance costs and internal service charges incurred by the firm in connection with your representation.

You acknowledge that we have made no guarantees as to the outcome of the matter for which we have been retained, and you understand that any expressions relative to the outcome or other issues are merely our opinions and professional judgment.

Should any dispute arise concerning our services provided to you or our statements, the dispute will be settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be heard in Tampa, Florida by a panel of three arbitrators, all of whom must be practicing attorneys in that state, with one arbitrator to be selected by each party and the third to be chosen by the two arbitrators selected by the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted according to the procedures of The Florida Bar. The arbitrators may establish the rules for the conduct of the arbitration that they choose, except that there shall be no discovery and any proceedings conducted shall be private and confidential and not be disclosed to the public by either the arbitrators or the parties to the arbitration. The award of the arbitrators must be a majority vote, shall be final, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court. Each party shall bear its own costs of the arbitration and shall pay one-half of the costs of the proceeding, except that the panel may assess actual fees and costs. Each party consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in Tampa, Florida for purposes of arbitration and court proceedings. This arbitration provision shall be supplemental to our rights to charging and retaining liens, and shall not modify or supersede those rights.

You may terminate our agreement for any reason at any time on written notice to us; however, in a litigation matter, our termination will not be effective until the court approves our withdrawal. Termination of our services will not affect your responsibility to pay for legal services rendered and all expenses required of us to facilitate an orderly transition of matters in process at the time of termination. We may terminate our representation of you for any reason on 10 days written notice to you. In litigation matters, our termination will be effective on the court's approval of our withdrawal. On the completion of the matter to which this representation applies, or on earlier termination of our relationship, the attorney-client relationship will end unless you and we expressly agree to continue the relationship with respect to other matters.

We will provide services of a strictly legal nature. You will provide us with the factual information and materials that we need to perform the services identified in the engagement letter, and will make the business and technical decisions and determinations that you consider appropriate. You will not rely on us for business, investment, accounting, or other non-legal decisions.

Regarding the ethics of our profession that will govern our representation, several points deserve emphasis. As a matter of professional responsibility, we must preserve the confidences and secrets of our clients. This professional responsibility and the legal privilege for attorney-client communications exist to encourage candid and complete communication between a client and his lawyer. We can perform truly beneficial services for you only if we are aware of all infmmation that might be relevant to our representation. Consequently, we trust that our attorney-client relationship with you will be based on mutual confidence and unrestrained communication that will facilitate our proper representation of you. You should also be aware that in instances in which we represent a corporation or similar legal entity, our client relationship is with the entity and not with its individual executives, shareholders, directors, partners, or persons in similar positions. In those cases, our professional responsibilities are owed to the entity unless we expressly agree otherwise.

During the course of our representation, you may provide us with original documents. We will maintain your original documents in our files until our representation ends. At that time, you may ask us to return specific original documents to you. After receiving payment for any outstanding fees and costs, those documents will be returned to you within a reasonable time. We will retain any remaining documents in our files for a limited period of time and ultimately retain or destroy them in our discretion without further notice to you.

Your agreement to this engagement constitutes your acceptance of the foregoing terms and conditions. If any of them is unacceptable to you, please advise us now, so that we can resolve any differences and proceed with a clear, complete, and consistent understanding of our relationship.
