There is no fact that the Issuer knows of which has not been specifically disclosed in writing to the Lender that materially and adversely affects or, except for pending or proposed legislation or regulations that are a matter of general public information affecting the State municipalities generally, that will materially adversely affect the properties, activities, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer or the ability of the Issuer to repay the Note or to perform its obligations under this Loan Agreement. The Audit, including, but not limited to the Audit for the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2022, financial statements, balance sheets, and any other written statement furnished by the Issuer to the Lender were prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or herein not misleading. There is no fact known to the Issuer which the Issuer has not disclosed to the Lender in writing which materially adversely affects or is likely to materially adversely affect the financial condition of the Issuer, or its ability to make the payments under this Loan Agreement when and as the same become due and payable. (c) Pending Litigation. There are no proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of the Issuer threatened, against or affecting the Issuer, except as specifically described in writing to the Lender, in any court or before any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal that, if adversely determined, would materially and adversely affect the properties, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer, or the existence or powers or ability of the Issuer to enter into and perform its obligations under this Loan Agreement. (d) Borrowing Legal and Authorized. The execution and delivery of this Loan Agreement and the consummation of the transactions provided for in this Loan Agreement and compliance by the Issuer with the provisions of this Loan Agreement: (1) are within the powers of the Issuer and have been duly and effectively authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Issuer; and (2) do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in any material breach of any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Issuer pursuant to any indenture, loan agreement, or other agreement or instrument (other than this Loan Agreement) or restriction to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer, its properties, or operations are bound as of the date of this Loan Agreement; or (ii) with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, constitute a breach or default or 10 so result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge, or encumbrance, which breach, default, lien, charge, or encumbrance (described in (i) or (ii)) could materially and adversely affect the validity or the enforceability of this Loan Agreement or the Issuer's ability to perform fully its obligations under this Loan Agreement, nor does such action or inaction result in any violation of the provisions of the Act, the Ordinance, the Resolution, or any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations, or court orders to which the Issuer, its properties, or operations may be bound. (e) No Defaults. No Event of Default or Default has occurred or exists. The Issuer is not in violation in any material respect, and has not received notice of any claimed violation (except such violations as (1) heretofore have been specifically disclosed in writing to, and have been in writing specifically consented to, by the Lender and (2) do not, and shall not, have any material adverse effect on the transactions herein contemplated and the compliance by the Issuer with the terms hereof), of any terms of any agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it, its properties, or its operations may be bound, which may materially adversely affect the ability of the Issuer to perform hereunder. (f) Governmental Consents. The Issuer has obtained, or expects to obtain when required, all permits, approvals, and findings of non-reviewability required as of the date hereof by any governmental body or officer for the acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, and/or equipping of the Projects, including, but not limited to, construction and renovation work necessary for such acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, and/or equipping, the financing thereof or the reimbursement of the Issuer therefor, or the use of the Projects, and, prior to or after entering into the Loan, the Issuer will obtain all other such permits, approvals, and findings as may be necessary for the foregoing and for the Loan and the proper application thereof. The Issuer has complied with or will comply with all applicable provisions of law requiring any notification, declaration, filing, or registration with any agency or other governmental body or officer in connection with the acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, and/or equipping of the Projects, including, but not limited to, construction and renovation work necessary for such acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, equipping, financing, or reimbursement thereof, or reimbursement of the Issuer therefor. Any such acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, equipping, financing, or reimbursement contemplated in this Loan Agreement is consistent with, and does not violate or conflict with, the terms of any such agency or other governmental consent, order, or other action which is applicable thereto.

The Issuer is in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and governmental rules and regulations to which it is subject, and which are material to its properties, operations, finances, or status as a municipal corporation or subdivision of the State. The Issuer will take all reasonable legal action within its control in order to maintain its existence as a municipal corporation of the State, and shall not voluntarily dissolve. (h) Use of Proceeds. (1) The Issuer deems it necessary, desirable, and in the best financial interest of the Issuer to finance the acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, and/or equipping of the Projects. The financing of the Projects in the manner herein provided is hereby authorized. (2) The Issuer will apply the proceeds of the Loan from the Lender for (i) the financing of the Costs of the Projects as set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and (ii) paying the transaction costs associated with the issuance of the Note. Simultaneously with the Closing of the Loan, a portion of the proceeds of the Loan will, at the Issuer's request and instruction as provided in
05 herein, be deposited into the Project Fund. (3) If any component of the Projects listed in Exhibit A is not paid for out of the proceeds of the Loan at the Closing of the Loan, the Issuer shall, as quickly as reasonably possible, with due diligence, use the remainder of the proceeds of the Loan listed in Exhibit A and any investment earnings thereon to pay the Costs of the Projects. All such proceeds of the Loan shall be expended prior to May 11, 2026; provided, however, such time limit may be extended by the written consent of the Lender with notice to the Council, and provided further, the Issuer must obtain an opinion of Note Counsel to the effect that such extension of such time limit will not adversely affect the validity of the Note or tax-exempt status of the Note. The Issuer may amend Exhibit A to provide for the financing of different or additional Projects if the Issuer, after the date hereof, deems it to not be in the interest of the Issuer to acquire, construct, install, rehabilitate, improve, and/or equip of any item of the Projects or the Costs of the Projects prove to be less than the amounts listed on Exhibit A and the investment earnings thereon, without the consent of the Lender or the Council (but with notice thereto); provided, however, the Issuer must obtain an opinion of Note Counsel to the effect that such an amendment and the completion of the revised Projects will not adversely affect the validity of the Note or tax-exempt status of the Note regarding the amended Exhibit A. 12 (4) The Issuer will be responsible for repaying, through the Loan Repayments, the Note issued to fund the Loan, including the portion of the Note issued to fund any transaction costs associated with the issuance of the Note. (5) The Issuer covenants that it will make no use of the proceeds of the Note that are in its control at any time during the term of the Note, which would cause the Note to be an "Arbitrage Bond" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. (6) The Issuer covenants that it shall neither take any action nor fail to take any action or to the extent that it may do so, permit any other party to take any action which, if either taken or not taken, would adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for Federal income tax purposes of interest on the Note. (i) Projects. All items constituting the Projects are permitted to be financed or reimbursed with the proceeds of the Note and the Loan pursuant to the Act.
02. COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER. The Issuer makes the following covenants and representations as of the date first above written and such covenants shall continue in full force and effect during the Loan Term: (a) Security for the Loan and Loan Repayments. Subject to the provisions of
02(n) hereof, the Issuer covenants and agrees to appropriate in its annual budget, by amendment, if required, and to deposit or credit to the Debt Service Fund to pay, when due under this Loan Agreement, directly to the Lender, amounts of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues of the Issuer sufficient to satisfy and timely make the Loan Repayments as required under this Loan Agreement. Such covenant is subject in all respects to the payment of obligations secured by a pledge of such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or hereafter entered into. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Issuer to budget and appropriate such amounts of Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative, and shall continue until such Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available revenues in amounts sufficient to make all required Loan Repayments, including delinquent Loan Repayments, shall have been budgeted, appropriated, and actually paid to the Lender. The Issuer further acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Issuer to include the amount of any deficiency in Loan Repayments in each of its annual budgets and to pay such deficiencies from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues may be enforced in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the remedies set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer does not covenant to maintain any services or programs now maintained by the Issuer which generate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or to maintain the charges it presently collects for any such services or programs. 13 (b) Funds and Accounts. (1) The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to establish a separate fund to be known as the "Village of Pinecrest, Florida Capital Improvement Revenue Note, Series 2023A Debt Service Fund." The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to maintain in the Debt Service Fund the following accounts: the "Interest Account" and the "Principal Account." The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees to establish a separate fund to be known as the "Village of Pinecrest, Florida Capital Improvement Revenue Note, Series 2023A Project Fund." Moneys in the aforementioned funds and accounts, until applied in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Noteholder and for the further security of the Noteholder. The Project Fund and the Debt Service Fund shall constitute trust funds for State law purposes to secure the Noteholder, and shall at all times be kept separate and distinct from all other funds and accounts of the Issuer and used only as herein provided. (2) The Issuer shall at any time and from time to time appoint one or more qualified depositories to hold, for the benefit of the Noteholder, any one or more of the funds and accounts established hereby. Such depository or depositories shall perform at the direction of the Issuer the duties of the Issuer in depositing, transferring, and disbursing moneys to and from each of such funds and accounts as herein set forth, and all records of such depository in performing such duties shall be open at all reasonable times to inspection by the Issuer and its agents and employees. (3) The Project Fund and the Debt Service Fund shall be continuously secured in the manner by which the deposit of public funds is authorized to be secured by the laws of the State and the investment policy of the Issuer. Moneys on deposit in the Project Fund and the Debt Service Fund may be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments maturing no later than the date on which the moneys therein will be needed. Any and all income received by the Issuer from the investment of moneys in the Project Fund and the Debt Service Fund shall be retained in such respective fund and accounts unless otherwise required by applicable law. Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement shall prevent any Permitted Investments acquired as investments of or security for funds and accounts held under this Loan Agreement from being issued or held in book- entry form on the books of the Department of the Treasury of the United States. (4) The moneys required to be accounted for in each of the foregoing funds and accounts may be deposited in a single bank account, and funds allocated to the various funds and accounts may be invested in a common investment pool, provided that adequate accounting records are maintained to reflect and control the restricted allocation of the moneys on deposit therein and 14 such investments for the various purposes of such funds and accounts as herein provided. The designation and establishment of the various funds and accounts shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent, self-balancing funds as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of certain revenues for certain purposes and to establish certain priorities for application of such revenues as herein provided. (c) Project Fund. (1) The Project Fund created pursuant to
02(b) of this Loan Agreement shall be used only for payment of the Costs of the Projects. Moneys in the Project Fund, until applied in payment of any item of the Costs of the Projects, in the manner hereinafter provided, shall be held in trust by the Issuer and shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Noteholder and for the further security of such Noteholder. (2) Any funds on deposit in the Project Fund that, in the opinion of the Issuer, are not immediately necessary for expenditure, as herein provided, may be invested and reinvested in Permitted Investments which shall mature or be redeemable at face value not later than the dates on which such funds are needed. All income derived from investment of funds in the Project Fund shall be used to pay Costs of the Projects, as provided herein. (3) Any payments for any damages of whatever kind received by the Issuer as a result of the negligence or breach of contract or warranty by any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or design professional working on or supplying goods or services for the Projects, and all insurance proceeds received with respect to damages to such Projects during the acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, and/or equipping of the Projects, shall be deposited into the Project Fund to ensure proper completion of the Projects. (4) The Issuer covenants to commence the acquisition, construction, installation, rehabilitation, improvement, and/or equipping of the Projects promptly upon delivery of the Note and to thereafter work with due diligence to complete the Projects. Except as otherwise provided in
01(h)(3) herein, upon completion of the Projects, any amounts then remaining in the Project Fund and not reserved by the Issuer for the payment of any remaining part of Costs of the Projects, shall be used to prepay the Note in the manner that such Note is to be prepaid under the terms of this Loan Agreement, or to pay principal of or interest on the Note, as such becomes due. 15 (5) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to the extent there are no other funds available under this Loan Agreement, the moneys in the Project Fund shall be applied to the payment of the Note. (d) Flow of Funds. Pursuant to
02(a) of this Loan Agreement, Non- Ad Valorem Revenues shall be deposited or credited at least five Business Days prior to the applicable due date, in the following manner and in the following order of priority: (1) First, the Issuer shall deposit into or credit to the Interest Account of the Debt Service Fund the sum which, together with the balance in such Interest Account, shall equal the interest coming due on the Note accrued and unpaid and to accrue on such Interest Payment Date. Moneys in the Interest Account shall be used to pay interest on the Note, as and when the same become due, whether by prepayment or otherwise, and for no other purpose. (2) Next, the Issuer shall deposit into or credit to the Principal Account of the Debt Service Fund the sum which, together with the balance in such Principal Account, shall equal the principal coming due on the Note on the next Principal Payment Date. Moneys in the Principal Account shall be used to pay the principal of the Note, as and when the same shall become due, whether by prepayment or otherwise, and for no other purpose. (e) Anti-Dilution Test. (1) During such time as the Loan is outstanding hereunder, the Issuer agrees and covenants with the Noteholder that, prior to the issuance of Debt by the Issuer, it shall deliver to the Noteholder a certificate certifying that it is in compliance with the following: (i) the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues shall cover projected aggregate maximum annual debt service on the Loan and on all other Debt, including the proposed Debt to be issued, by at least 1.5x; and (ii) projected aggregate maximum annual debt service on the Loan and on all other Debt will not exceed 20% of the Governmental Funds Revenues, exclusive of (A) ad valorem tax revenues restricted to payment of debt service on any Debt and (B) any proceeds of the Loan or any Debt. The calculations required by clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be determined using the average of actual receipts for the prior two Fiscal Years based on the Audit. (2) For purposes of the covenants contained in this
02(e), maximum annual debt service on the Debt means, with respect to the Debt that bears interest at a fixed interest rate, the actual maximum annual debt service, and, with respect to the Debt which bears interest at a variable interest rate, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming that interest accrues on such Debt at the greater of (i) current "Bond Buyer Revenue 16 Bond Index" as published in The Bond Buyer no more than two weeks prior to any such calculation or (ii) 5% per annum; provided, however, if any Debt, whether bearing interest at a fixed or variable interest rate, constitutes Balloon Indebtedness, maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be determined assuming such Debt is amortized over 25 years on an approximately level debt service basis. (3) For purposes of the covenants contained in this
02(e), if the Debt is also payable from additional revenues that are not legally available to pay debt service on the Loan, the maximum annual debt service on such Debt shall be discounted by the amount that will be covered by such additional revenues. (4) In the event additional Debt is issued for the purpose of refunding any Debt then outstanding, the conditions of this
02(e) shall not apply, provided that the issuance of such additional Debt shall not result in an increase of the debt service on the applicable Debt in any Fiscal Year ending on or before the maturity date of the Note. (5) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this
02(e) may be amended, supplemented, or waived from time to time with the prior written consent of the Owner of 100% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note. (f) Delivery of Information to the Lender. Beginning with the Fiscal Year ended September 30, 2023, the Issuer will provide the Noteholder with a copy of the Audit within 210 days of the end of its Fiscal Year. The Issuer will prepare its Audit in accordance with the Act and generally accepted accounting principles and audited by Accountant; provided, that in the event the Audit is not available within 210 days after the close of the Fiscal Year, the Issuer will furnish unaudited financial statements to the Noteholder within such period as provided herein and will then supply the Audit immediately upon the availability thereof. In addition, the Issuer will provide the Noteholder with (i) a copy of its final annual budget for each Fiscal Year within 60 days of adoption thereof by its Village Council and (ii) such other financial or public information as the Noteholder may from time to time reasonably request. So long as the Lender or its affiliate is the Owner of the Note, the Issuer may deliver the Audit and annual budget in electronic PDF format. In the event the Audit is filed on the MSRB's "EMMA" website, to satisfy this requirement the Issuer may email a link to the posted Audit within such 210-day period. (g) Information. The Issuer's chief financial officer or other staff of the Issuer shall discuss the Issuer's financial matters with the Lender or its representatives at all reasonable times at the office of the Issuer, and provide the Lender with copies of any 17 documents reasonably requested by the Lender unless such documents or material are protected or privileged from disclosure under applicable State law. (h) Further Assurance. The Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Lender and the Council all such documents and instruments and do all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to enable the Lender and the Council to exercise and enforce their respective rights under this Loan Agreement and the Note and to realize thereon, and record and file and re-record and re-file all such documents and instruments, at such time or times, in such manner, and at such place or places, all as may be reasonably necessary or required by the Lender to validate, preserve, and protect the Lender's security under this Loan Agreement. (i) Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Issuer shall keep or cause to be kept proper records and books of account, in which correct and complete entries will be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (except for changes concurred in by the Issuer's independent auditors) reflecting all of its financial transactions. (j) Payment of Taxes, Etc. The Issuer shall pay all legally contracted obligations when due and shall pay all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims, which, if unpaid, might become a lien or charge upon any of its properties, provided that it shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, or claim which is being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings, which shall operate to stay the enforcement thereof. (k) Compliance with Laws, Etc. The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, the terms of all grants, rules, regulations, and lawful orders of any governmental authority, non-compliance with which would, singularly or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect its business, properties, earnings, prospects, or credit, unless the same shall be contested by it in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which shall operate to stay the enforcement thereof. (l) Tax-Exempt Status of the Note. (1) The Issuer understands that it is the intention hereof that the interest on the Note not be included within the gross income of the Holder thereof for federal income tax purposes. (2) In furtherance thereof, the Issuer agrees that it will take all action within its control which is necessary in order for the interest on the Note to remain excludable from gross income for federal income taxation purposes, and 18 shall refrain from taking any action which results in such interest on the Note becoming includable in gross income. (3) The Issuer further covenants that, to the extent it has control over the proceeds of the Note, it will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the investment of the proceeds of the Note, with respect to the payments derived from the Note or hereunder or with respect to the issuance of other obligations, which action or failure to act may cause the Note to be an "arbitrage bond" within the meaning of such term as used in Section 148 of the Code. In furtherance of the covenant contained in the preceding sentence, the Issuer agrees to comply with the Tax Certificate as to Arbitrage and the provisions of Section 141 through 150 of the Code, including the letter of instruction attached as an exhibit thereto, delivered by Note Counsel to the Issuer simultaneously with the issuance of the Note, as such letter may be amended from time to time, as a source of guidelines for achieving compliance with the Code. The covenants of the Issuer contained in this
02(l) shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement. (m) Reporting Requirements. The Issuer agrees to provide along with its Audit described in
02(f) above, a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, or, specifying the nature of any noncompliance and the remedial action taken or proposed to be taken to cure such noncompliance. (n) Limited Obligation. Anything in this Loan Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and agreed that all obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be payable only from Non-Ad Valorem Revenues budgeted and appropriated as provided for hereunder and nothing herein shall be deemed to pledge ad valorem taxation revenues or to permit or constitute a mortgage or lien upon any assets or property owned by the Issuer and no Noteholder or any other Person, including the Council or the Lender, may compel the levy of ad valorem taxes on real or personal property within the boundaries of the Issuer. The obligations hereunder do not constitute an indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory, or charter provision or limitation, and neither the Lender, the Council, the Noteholder, nor any other Person shall have the right to compel the exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the Issuer or taxation of any real or personal property therein for the payment by the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Loan Agreement, this Loan Agreement and the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall not be construed as a limitation on the ability of the Issuer to pledge or covenant to pledge the Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or any revenues or taxes of the Issuer for other legally permissible purposes. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Loan Agreement or the Note to the contrary, the Issuer shall never be obligated to maintain or continue any of the activities of the Issuer which generate user service 19 charges, regulatory fees, or any Non-Ad Valorem Revenues or the rates for such services or regulatory fees. Neither this Loan Agreement nor the obligations of the Issuer hereunder shall be construed as a pledge of or a lien on all or any legally available Non- Ad Valorem Revenues of the Issuer, but shall be payable solely as provided in
02(a) hereof and is subject in all respects to the provisions of
241, Florida Statutes, and is subject, further, to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the health, welfare, and safety of the inhabitants of the Issuer. (o) Other Conditions. The Council, the Lender, and the Issuer mutually agree and understand that the amounts available to be budgeted and appropriated to make Loan Repayments hereunder are subject to the obligation of the Issuer to provide essential services; however, the Issuer's obligation to make Loan Repayments is cumulative and would carry over from Fiscal Year to Fiscal Year. (p) Indemnity. (1) To the full extent permitted under the laws of the State, the Issuer will pay, and will protect, indemnify, save, and hold harmless, the Council, each member, officer, commissioner, employee, and agent of the Council, and each other Person, if any, who has the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Council, harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses), suits, claims, and judgments of whatsoever kind and nature (including those in any manner directly or indirectly arising or resulting from, out of, or in connection with, any injury to, or death of, any Person or any damage to property resulting from the use or operation of the Projects) in any manner arising out of or in connection with the failure to act of the Issuer, its successors and assigns, or the agents, contractors, employees, licensees, or otherwise of the Issuer or its successors and assigns in connection with, the Projects financed with the proceeds of the Loan, or the breach or violation of any agreement, covenant, representation, or warranty of the Issuer set forth in this Loan Agreement or any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith. Such indemnification shall not apply to any actions caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking such indemnification. (2) Such indemnity shall not be restricted in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable under any workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefits acts or any other similar laws but may be limited by State law relating to the ability of governmental units to indemnify parties for the actions of such governmental units, including but not limited to
28, Florida Statutes. 20 (3) An indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of any claim or action brought against it, in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Issuer, setting forth, to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances, the particulars of such claim or action, and the Issuer will promptly assume the defense thereof with its in-house counsel or, at its election, the employment of competent outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified Person and the payment of all expenses. (4) An indemnified Person may employ separate counsel with respect to any such claim or action and participate in the defense thereof, but, except as provided herein, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall not be payable by the Issuer unless such employment has been specifically authorized by the Issuer, which such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless such employment was occasioned by conflicts of interest between and among indemnified Persons and/or the Issuer. If the Issuer shall fail to assume the defense of any action as required hereunder, or, within a reasonable time after commencement of such action, to retain outside counsel, if it so elects or if it becomes necessary due to conflict, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Person, the fees, costs, and expenses of counsel to such indemnified Person hereunder shall be paid by the Issuer. (5) The provisions of this
02(p) shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement. (q) Insurance. The Issuer shall bear all risk or loss or damage to the Projects and shall be responsible for keeping the Projects insured with companies reasonably satisfactory to and for such reasonable amounts as reasonably required by the Lender. The Lender must be named as loss payee and additional insured as applicable on all such insurance policies. Evidence of such insurance must be reasonably satisfactory to the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be required to maintain insurance with respect to the Projects for which insurance shall not be available at reasonable cost.
03. ISSUER PAYMENTS. Prior to or on each Interest Payment Date and Principal Payment Date, the Issuer shall withdraw from the appropriate account of the Debt Service Fund sufficient moneys to pay the Loan Repayments and shall pay directly to the Lender such Loan Repayments.

(the "Lender"). The Note is issued by the Issuer pursuant to Chapter 166, Part II, Florida Statutes; the Charter of the Issuer, and other applicable provisions of law, each as amended (collectively, the "Act"); and the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the Note, enacted by the Village Council of the Issuer (the "Village Council") on April 11, 2023 (the "Ordinance"), and the resolution authorizing the issuance of the Note, adopted by the Village Council on May 9, 2023 (the "Resolution"). All terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Loan Agreement. B-2 In rendering this opinion, we have examined such proceedings and records of the Issuer and made such inquiry of officials of the Issuer as we deem necessary. Based on such review, and such other considerations of law and fact, as we believe to be relevant, we are of the opinion that: (a) The Issuer is a municipality duly organized and validly existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida. The Issuer has the legal right and all requisite power and authority to acquire and construct the Projects, to issue the Note, to enter into the Loan Agreement, to covenant to budget and appropriate Non-Ad Valorem Revenues to the payment of the Note, to enact the Ordinance, to adopt the Resolution, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby and otherwise to carry on its activities and own its property. (b) On April 11, 2023, the Ordinance was duly enacted by the Issuer at a duly called public meeting following proper public notice, at which a legal quorum was present and acting throughout, is in full force and effect, and has not been amended, supplemented, or repealed as of the date hereof. On May 9, 2023, the Resolution was duly adopted by the Issuer at a duly called public meeting following proper public notice, at which a legal quorum was present and acting throughout, is in full force and effect, and has not been amended, supplemented, or repealed as of the date hereof. (c) The Issuer has duly authorized the acquisition and construction of the Projects, duly enacted the Ordinance, duly adopted the Resolution, and authorized, executed, and delivered the Loan Agreement and the Note, and such instruments are legal and binding obligations of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted and that their enforcement may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity, and to the sovereign police powers of the State of Florida and the constitutional powers of the United States of America. (d) The execution and delivery of the Ordinance, the Resolution, the Loan Agreement, and the Note; the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby; the acquisition and construction of the Projects; and the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of the Ordinance, the Resolution, the Loan Agreement, and the Note does not and will not conflict with or result in a material breach of or default under any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any agreement, contract, or other instrument, or law, ordinance, regulation, or judicial or other governmental order, to which the Issuer is now a party or it or its properties is otherwise subject or bound, and the Issuer is not otherwise in violation of any of the foregoing in a manner material to the transactions contemplated by the Ordinance, the Resolution, the Loan Agreement, or the Note. B-3 (e) There is no litigation or legal or governmental action, proceeding, inquiry, or investigation pending or, to the best of our knowledge, threatened by governmental authorities or to which the Issuer is a party or of which any property of the Issuer is subject, which has not been specifically described in writing to the Lender, in any court or before any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal that, if determined adversely to the Issuer, would individually or in the aggregate materially and adversely affect the validity or the enforceability of the Ordinance, the Resolution, the Loan Agreement, the Note, or materially and adversely affect the properties, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Issuer, or the existence or powers or ability of the Issuer to enter into and perform its obligations under the Ordinance, the Resolution, the Loan Agreement, or the Note.

(the "Lender") is extending credit to the Village of Pinecrest, Florida (the "Issuer"), evidenced by the Loan Obligation to hold for its own account to maturity or earlier prepayment and has no present intent to distribute or sell any interest therein or portion thereof other than to an affiliate of the Lender, provided that the Lender retains the right at any time to dispose of the Loan Obligation or any interest therein or portion thereof, but agrees that any such sale, transfer, or distribution by the Lender shall be made in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of the Loan Obligation.
