All capitalized undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Resolution. This Bond and the interest thereon are payable solely from and secured by a prior lien upon and pledge of the net revenues derived by the Issuer from the operation of the combined water and sewer system of the Issuer (together with any and all improvements, extensions and additions thereto hereafter constructed or acquired, together with all lands or interests therein, including plants, buildings, machinery, franchises, pipes, mains, fixtures, equipment and all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now or hereafter owned or used in connection therewith, the "System"), on a parity with the lien thereon in favor of the holders of the outstanding Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds (Bank Qualified), Series 2015 and Water and Sewer Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 previously issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Original Resolution.

It is expressly agreed by the holder of this Bond that such holder shall never have the right to require or compel the levy of ad valorem taxes for the payment of the principal of and interest on this Bond or for the making of any sinking fund or other payment specified in the Resolution. This Bond and the indebtedness evidenced thereby shall not constitute a lien upon any other property of or in the Issuer, but shall constitute alien only upon the net revenues of the System, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Resolution. Upon an Event of Default, the Bond Rate shall be increased to the Default Rate. If an Event of Taxability occurs then (i) interest on this Bond shall be computed by multiplying the portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Bond by the Taxable Rate (on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the debt service schedule shall be deemed to be automatically amended to reflect such re -calculation, and (ii) the Issuer shall pay to the Registered Owner hereof as a gross -up amount (the "Gross -Up Amount") (i) an amount equal to the difference of (A) the amount of interest that would have been paid to the Registered Owner hereof during the period of which such interest is included in the gross income of the Lender if this Bond had borne interest at the Taxable Rate, beginning on the Taxable Date through the date of payment of such Gross -Up Amount (the "Gross -Up Period"), and (B) the corresponding amount of interest on this Bond actually paid to the Lender during the Gross -Up Period, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, an amount equal to any interest, penalties or charges owed by the Registered Owner hereof as a result of the interest on this Bond becoming included in the gross income of the Registered Owner hereof, together with all attorneys' fees, court costs, or other "out-of-pocket" costs incurred by the Registered Owner hereof in connection therewith.

All capitalized undefined terms used herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Resolution. This Bond and the interest thereon are payable solely from and secured by a prior lien upon and pledge of the net revenues derived by the Issuer from the operation of the combined water and sewer system of the Issuer (together with any and all improvements, extensions and additions thereto hereafter constructed or acquired, together with all lands or interests therein, including plants, buildings, machinery, franchises, pipes, mains, fixtures, equipment and all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, now or hereafter owned or used in connection therewith, the "System"), on a parity with the lien thereon in favor of the holders of the outstanding Water and Sewer Refunding Revenue Bonds (Bank Qualified), Series 2015 and Water and Sewer Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 previously issued by the Issuer pursuant to the Original Resolution.

Upon an Event of Default, the Bond Rate shall be increased to the Default Rate. If an Event of Taxability occurs then (i) interest on this Bond shall be computed by multiplying the portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Bond by the Taxable Rate (on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the debt service schedule shall be deemed to be automatically amended to reflect such re -calculation, and (ii) the Issuer shall pay to the Registered Owner hereof as a gross -up amount (the "Gross -Up Amount") (i) an amount equal to the difference of (A) the amount of interest that would have been paid to the Registered Owner hereof during the period of which such interest is included in the gross income of the Lender if this Bond had borne interest at the Taxable Rate, beginning on the Taxable Date through the date of payment of such Gross -Up Amount (the "Gross -Up Period"), and (B) the corresponding amount of interest on this Bond actually paid to the Lender during the Gross -Up Period, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, an amount equal to any interest, penalties or charges owed by the Registered Owner hereof as a result of the interest on this Bond becoming included in the gross income of the Registered Owner hereof, together with all attorneys' fees, court costs, or other "out-of-pocket" costs incurred by the Registered Owner hereof in connection therewith.

Not more than 50% of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds will be invested in obligations having a substantially guaranteed yield for a period of 4 years or more. 4. On a monthly basis, the City will transfer Net Revenues from the Revenue Fund to the Sinking Fund to provide for the payment of debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds, The Sinking Fund (and the subaccounts therein other than the Reserve Account) and the portion of the Revenue Fund allocated to pay debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds will be used primarily to achieve a proper matching of Net Revenues and debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds within each bond year, and amounts deposited in such fund will be depleted at least once a year except for a reasonable carryover amount not to exceed the greater of (A) the earnings on such fund for the immediately preceding bond year, or (B) one twelfth of the debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds for the immediately preceding bond year. 5. The Series 2021 Bonds shall not be secured by the Reserve Account. Other than the Sinking Fund (and the subaccounts therein other than the Reserve Account) and the portion of the Revenue Fund allocated to pay debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds, there are no funds or accounts established pursuant to the Resolution or otherwise that are reasonably expected to be used to pay debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds, or which are pledged as collateral for the Series 2 2021 Bonds (or subject to a negative pledge) and for which there is a reasonable assurance on the part of the Series 2021 Bondholders that amounts therein will be available to pay debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds if the City encounters financial difficulties. Amounts, if any, deposited in the Renewal, Replacement and Improvement Fund and the Operation and Maintenance Fund are not reasonably expected to be used to pay debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds, and no reasonable assurance exists that any such amounts will be available to pay debt service on the Series 2021 Bond if the City encounters financial difficulties. 6. The following represents the expectations of the City with respect to the investment of funds on deposit in the aforementioned funds and accounts: (a) Proceeds derived from the sale of the Series 2021 Bonds to be applied to pay Issuance Expenses may be invested at an unrestricted yield for a period not to exceed three years from the date hereof, although it is reasonably expected that all such amounts will be spent within 90 days of the date hereof. (b) Sale Proceeds deposited in the Series 2021 Bond Acquisition Fund to pay Series 2021 Project costs may be invested at an unrestricted yield for a period not to exceed three years from the date hereof. (c) Investment earnings on obligations acquired with amounts described in subparagraph (a) above may be invested at an unrestricted yield for a period of one year from the date of receipt. Investment earnings on obligations acquired with amounts described in subparagraph (b) above may be invested at an unrestricted yield for a period of three years from the date hereof or one year from the date of receipt, whichever period is longer. (d) Amounts described in subparagraphs (a) through (c) that may not be invested at an unrestricted yield may be invested at an unrestricted yield to the extent such amounts do not exceed $100,000 (the "Minor Portion"). (e) Amounts described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) that may not be invested at an unrestricted yield pursuant to the provisions of such subparagraph shall be invested at a yield not in excess of the yield of the Series 2021 Bonds plus 1/8 of one percentage point or invested in tax-exempt obligations under Section 103(a) of the Code the interest on which is not an item of preference within the meaning of Section 57(a)(5) of the Code. (f) Amounts deposited in the Sinking Fund (and the subaccounts therein other than the Reserve Account) and the portion of the Revenue Fund allocated to the payment of debt service on the Series 2021 Bonds may be invested at an unrestricted yield for a period of 13 months from the date of original deposit of such amounts to such funds. Investment earnings on such amounts which are retained in such accounts may be 3 invested at an unrestricted yield for a period of 13 months from the date of receipt of the amount earned. (g) Amounts described in subparagraph (f) that may not be invested at an unrestricted yield pursuant to such subparagraph may be invested at an unrestricted yield to the extent such amounts do not exceed the Minor Portion reduced by the amounts described in subparagraph (d) that are invested at a yield in excess of the yield on the Series 2021 Bonds. (h) Amounts described in subparagraph (h) that may not be invested at an unrestricted yield shall be invested at a yield not in excess of the yield of the Series 2021 Bonds or be invested in tax-exempt obligations under Section 103(a) of the Code the interest on which is not an item of preference within the meaning of Section 57(a)(5) of the Code. To the extent that any amounts described in this Paragraph 6 are not permitted to be invested at an unrestricted yield, the City may satisfy the applicable yield restriction by causing the appropriate amount of yield reduction payments to be made to the United States to the extent permitted by Section 1.148-5(c) of the Regulations. 7. For purposes of this Certificate, "yield" means that yield which when used in computing the present worth of all payments of principal and interest to be paid on an obligation produces an amount equal to the purchase price of such obligation. The yield on obligations acquired with amounts described in Paragraph 6 and the yield on the Series 2021 Bonds shall be calculated by the use of the same frequency interval of compounding interest. In the case of the Series 2021 Bonds, the purchase price is $5,075,000.00. The purchase price of the Series 2021 Bond and the interest rate thereon were arrived at as a result of an arm's length negotiation between the City and the Original Purchaser. The Original Purchaser has represented to the. City in its certificate attached as Exhibit B hereto that it is acquiring the Series 2021 Bond for its own account and is not acting as a broker or other intermediary for the purpose of reselling the Series 2021 Bond to other investors. Any investments acquired with amounts that may not be invested at an unrestricted yield pursuant to Paragraph 5 above or which are subject to arbitrage rebate as described in Paragraph 12 hereof shall be purchased at prevailing market prices and shall be limited to securities for which there is an established market, shall be United States Treasury Obligations - State and Local Government Series, or shall be tax-exempt obligations under 103(a) of the Code the interest on which is not an item of tax preference within the meaning of Section 57(a) (5) of the Code. In accordance with such meaning of the term yield, the yield on the Series 2021 Bonds has been determined to be not less than 2.0901281%, as shown in the Schedules attached as Exhibit A hereto. 8. No portion of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds will be used as a substitute for other moneys of the City which were otherwise to be used to pay costs of the Series 2021 Project 4 and which have been or will be used to acquire, directly or indirectly, obligations producing a yield in excess of the yield on the Series 2021 Bonds. 9. The weighted average maturity of the Series 2021 Bonds does not exceed 120 percent of the reasonably expected average economic life of the assets financed with the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds (within the meaning of Section 147(b) of the Code). 10. There are no other obligations of the City that (i) are being sold at substantially the same time as the Series 2021 Bonds (within 15 days); (ii) are being sold pursuant to a common plan of financing together with the Series 2021 Bonds; and (iii) will be paid out of substantially the same source of funds as the Series 2021 Bonds. 11. The City has not entered into or is expected to enter into any hedging transaction (such as an interest rate swap, cap or collar transaction) with respect to the Series 2021 Bonds. 12. The City has covenanted in the Resolution that so long as the Series 2021 Bonds remain outstanding, the moneys on deposit in any fund or account maintained in connection with the Series 2021 Bonds, will not be used in any manner that would cause the Series 2021 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or bonds not described under Section 103(a) of the Code and the applicable regulations promulgated from time to time thereunder. Accordingly, the City acknowledges the guidelines and instructions in the Arbitrage Letter of Instructions from Bond Counsel, dated the date hereof, by which the City shall, except as otherwise provided by law, pay or cause to be paid to the United States an amount equal to the sum of (i) the excess of the aggregate amount earned from the investment of the "Gross Proceeds" of the Series 2021 Bonds from the date of issue over the amount that would have been earned if such amounts had been invested at a yield equal to the yield on the Series 2021 Bonds, plus (ii) the income or earnings attributable to the excess described in (i). See Exhibit C attached hereto. 13. Not more than 10% of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds will be used (directly or indirectly) in a trade or business (or to finance facilities which are used in a trade or business) carried on by any person other than a state or local governmental unit (a 'Nonexempt Person"). Not more than 5% of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds will be used (directly or indirectly) in trade or business (or to finance facilities which are used in a trade or business) carried on by any Nonexempt Person which private business use is not related to any governmental use or is disproportionate to governmental use, all as described in Section 141(b)(3) of the Code ("Unrelated or Disproportional Use"). For the purpose of this Paragraph, use by a Nonexempt Person as a member of the general public shall not be taken into account. 14. The City acknowledges that in determining whether all or any portion of the Series 2021 Project are used, directly or indirectly, in the trade or business of a Nonexempt Person for purposes of Paragraph 13 above, use of any portion of the Series 2021 Project by a Nonexempt Person pursuant to a lease, management contract, service contract or other arrangement must be examined. The City represents that all management and service contracts with persons who are 5 not employees of the City for use of any portion of the Series 2021 Project comply with the guidelines set forth in IRS Revenue Procedure 2017-13. The City represents that all future management and service contracts that it may enter into with respect to the Series 2021 Project will comply with the provisions of Revenue Procedure 2017-13 or any subsequently promulgated revenue procedure or regulations of the Internal Revenue Service, unless the City receives an opinion from Bond Counsel that such contract will not adversely impact the exclusion of interest on the Series 2021 Bonds from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. 15. The City reasonably expects that the Series 2021 Project will be owned and operated throughout the term of the Series 2021 Bonds in a manner which complies with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 13 above. The City will not change the ownership or use of all or any portion of the Series 2021 Project in a manner which fails to comply with Paragraph 13 above, unless it determines that such change of ownership or use will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Series 2021 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. 16. None of the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds will be used (directly or indirectly) to make or finance a loan to any person. 17. The payment of the principal of and interest on the Series 2021 Bonds is not and will not be guaranteed directly or indirectly by the federal government within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code. 18. This Certificate is, in part, to serve as a guideline in implementing the requirements of Sections 141 to 150 of the Code. If regulations, rulings, announcements and notices validly promulgated under the Code contain requirements which differ from those outlined here which must be satisfied for the Series 2021 Bonds to be tax-exempt or in order to avoid the imposition of penalties under Section 148 of the Code, pursuant to the covenants contained in the Resolution, the City is obligated to take such steps as are necessary to comply with such requirements. If under those pronouncements, compliance with any of the requirements of this Certificate is not necessary to maintain the exclusion of interest on the Series 2021 Bonds from gross income and alternative minimum taxable income or to avoid the imposition of penalties under Section 148 of the Code, the City shall not be obligated to comply with that requirement. The City has been advised to seek the advice of competent counsel with a nationally recognized expertise in matters affecting exclusion of interest on municipal bonds from gross income in fulfilling its obligations under the Code to take all steps as are necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the Series 2021 Bonds. 19. The City is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would cause it to question the accuracy of the representations made by the Original Purchaser in its letter attached as Exhibit B or the accuracy of the computations performed by the Financial Advisor attached as Exhibit A hereto. reel 20.

Capitalized terms used in this letter, not otherwise defined herein, shall have the same meanings as set forth in your Tax Certificate as to Arbitrage and the Provisions of Sections 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Tax Certificate') executed on the date hereof. This letter is intended to provide you with general guidance regarding compliance with Section 148(f) of the Code. Because the requirements of the Code are subject to amplification and clarification, you should seek supplements to this letter from time to time to reflect any additional or different requirements of the Code. In particular, you should be aware that regulations implementing the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) (the 'Regulations") have been issued by the United States Treasury Department. This complex set of regulations will, by necessity, be subject to continuing interpretation and clarification through future rulings or other announcements of the United States Treasury Department. You should seek further advice of Bond Counsel as to the effect of any such future interpretations before the computation and payment of any arbitrage rebate. For the purposes of this Letter, (i) any instructions relating to a fund or account shall be deemed to apply only to the portion of such fund or account allocable to the Series 2021 Bonds and (ii) any reference to "the date hereof" shall be deemed to mean December 17, 2021.

Pursuant to the Resolution (as defined in the Tax Certificate), the City (collectively, the "City") has made certain covenants designed to assure that interest with respect to the Series 2021 Bonds is and shall remain excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City has agreed, and by this Letter does hereby covenant, .that it will C-1 not directly or indirectly use or permit the use of any proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds or any other funds or take or omit to take any action that would cause the Series 2021 Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code and that would cause interest on the Series 2021 Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes under the provisions of the Code. You have further agreed by this letter to comply with all other requirements as shall be determined by Bond Counsel (as hereinafter defined) to be necessary or appropriate to assure that interest on the Series 2021 Bonds will be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. To that end, the City will comply with all requirements of Section 148 of the Code to the extent applicable to the Series 2021 Bonds. In particular, the City agrees to cause the proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds to be invested in a mariner which is consistent with the expectations described in Paragraph 6 of the Tax Certificate. In the event that at any time the City is of the opinion that for purposes of this Section 1 it is necessary to restrict or to limit the yield on the investment of any moneys held by the City, the City shall take such action as may be necessary.

In addition, the Value of each Nonpurpose Investment at the close of business on each Computation Date shall be taken into account as a Nonpurpose Receipt as of such date, and each refund of Rebatable Arbitrage pursuant to Section 1.148-3(i) of the Regulations shall be treated as a Nonpurpose Receipt. "Rebatable Arbitrage' shall mean as of any Computation Date the excess of the future value of all Nonpurpose Receipts with respect to the Series 2021 Bonds over the future value of all Nonpurpose Payments with respect to the Series 2021 Bonds.

C-4 "Retirement Price" shall mean, with respect to a bond, the amount paid in connection with the retirement or redemption of the bond.

(c) Any payment of Rebatable Arbitrage made within the 60-day period described in Section 3(b)(1) and (2) above may be treated as paid on the Installment Payment Date or Final Computation Date to which it relates. (d) On or before the 55th day following each Installment Payment Date and the Final Computation Date, the City shall determine the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage to be paid to the United States Government as required by Section 3(b) of this Letter. Upon making this determination, the City shall take the following actions: (1) If the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage is calculated to be positive, deposit the required amount of Rebatable Arbitrage to the Rebate Fund; C-5 (2) If the amount of Rebatable Arbitrage is calculated to be negative and money is being held in the Rebate Fund, transfer from the Rebate Fund the amount on deposit in such fund; and (3) On or before the 60th day following the Installment Payment Date or Final Computation Date, pay the amount described in Section 3(b) of this Letter to the United States Government at the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201.

Section 4. Prohibited Investments and Dispositions. (a) No Investment Property shall be acquired with Gross Proceeds for an amount (including transaction costs) in excess of the fair market value of such Investment Property. No Investment Property shall be sold or otherwise disposed of for an amount (including transaction costs) less than the fair market value of the Investment Property. (b) For purposes of subsection 4(a), the fair market value of any Investment Property for which there is an established market shall be determined as provided in subsection 4(c). Except as otherwise provided in subsections 4(e) and (f), any market especially established to provide Investment Property to an issuer of governmental obligations shall not be treated as an established market. (c) The fair market value of any Investment Property for which there is an established market is the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the investment from a willing seller in a bona fide, arm's-length transaction. Fair market value is generally determined on the date on which a contract to purchase or sell the Investment C-6 Property becomes binding (i.e., the trade date rather than the settlement date). If a United States Treasury obligation is acquired directly from or disposed of directly to the United States Treasury, such acquisition or disposition shall be treated as establishing a market for the obligation and as establishing the fair market value of the obligation. (d) Except to the extent provided in subsections (e) and (0, any Investment Property for which there is not an established market shall be rebuttably presumed to be acquired or disposed of for a price that is not equal to its fair market value. (e) In the case of a certificate of deposit that has a fixed interest rate, a fixed payment schedule, and a substantial penalty for early withdrawal, the purchase price of such a certificate of deposit is treated as its fair market value on its purchase date if the yield on the certificate of deposit is not less than (1) the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States; and (2) the highest yield that is published or posted by the provider to be currently available from the provider on reasonably comparable certificates of deposit offered to the public. (f) The purchase price of a Guaranteed Investment Contract is treated as its fair market value on the purchase date if the City complies with the competitive bidding procedures set forth in Section 1.148-5(d)(6)(iii) of the Regulations. Section 5. Accountirig for Gross Proceeds. In order to perform the calculations required by the Code and the Regulations, it is necessary to track the investment and expenditure of all Gross Proceeds. To that end, the City must adopt a reasonable and consistently applied method of accounting for all Gross Proceeds. Section 6. Administrative Costs of Investments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, an allocation of Gross Proceeds of the Series 2021 Bonds to a payment or receipt on a Nonpurpose Investment is not adjusted to take into account any costs or expenses paid, directly or indirectly, to purchase, carry, sell or retire the Nonpurpose Investment (administrative costs). Thus, administrative costs generally do not increase the payments for, or reduce the receipts from, Nonpurpose Investments. (b) In determining payments and receipts on Nonpurpose Investments, Qualified Administrative Costs are taken into account by increasing payments for, or reducing the receipts from, the Nonpurpose Investments. Qualified Administrative Costs are reasonable, direct administrative costs, other than carrying costs, such as separately stated brokerage or selling commissions, but not legal and accounting fees, recordkeeping, custody, and similar costs. General overhead costs and similar indirect costs of the City such as employee salaries and office expenses and costs associated with computing Rebatable Arbitrage are not Qualified Administrative Costs. C-7 (c) Qualified Administrative Costs include all reasonable administrative costs, without regard to the limitation on indirect costs stated in subsection (b) above, incurred by: (i) A publicly offered regulated investment company (as defined in Section 67(c)(2)(B) of the Code); and (ii) A commingled fund in which the City and any related parties do not own more than 10 percent of the beneficial interest in the fund. (d) For a Guaranteed Investment Contract, a broker's commission paid on behalf of either the City or the provider is not a Qualified Administrative Cost to the extent that the commission exceeds the amount set forth in Section 1.148-5(e)(iii) of the Regulations. Section 7. Records; Bond Counsel Opinion. (a) The City shall retain all records with respect to the calculations and instructions required by this Letter for at least 3 years after the date on which the last of the principal of and interest on the Series 2021 Bonds has been paid, whether upon maturity, redemption or acceleration thereof. (b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Letter, if the City shall be provided an opinion of Bond Counsel that any specified action required under this Letter is no longer required or that some further or different action is required to maintain or assure the exclusion from federal gross income of interest with respect to the Series 2021 Bonds, the City may conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the requirements of this Letter. Section 8. Survival of Defeasance. Notwithstanding anything in this Letter to the contrary, the obligation of the City to remit the Rebate Requirement to the United States Department of the Treasury and to comply with all other requirements contained in this Letter must survive the defeasance or payment of the Series 2021 Bonds.

CITY OF CRESTVIEW, FLORIDA ByCZl+L Gina Toussaint, Finance Director Dated: December 17, 2021 C-9 Appendix I Spending Exceptions to Rebate (a) Generally. All, or certain discrete portions, of an issue are treated as meeting the Rebate Requirement of Section 148(f) of the Code if one or more of the spending exceptions set forth in this Appendix are satisfied. Use of the spending exceptions is not mandatory. An issuer may apply the Rebate Requirement to an issue that otherwise satisfies a spending exception. Special definitions relating to the spending exceptions are contained in section (h) of this Appendix. Where several obligations that otherwise constitute a single issue are used to finance two or more separate governmental purposes, the issue constitutes a "multipurpose issue' and the bonds, as well as their respective proceeds, allocated to each separate purpose may be treated as separate issues for purposes of the spending exceptions. In allocating an issue among its several separate governmental purposes, "common costs" are generally not treated as separate governmental purposes and must be allocated ratably among the discrete separate purposes unless some other allocation method more accurately reflects the extent to which any particular separate discrete purpose enjoys the economic benefit (or bears the economic burden) of the certain common costs (e.g., a newly funded reserve for a parity issue that is partially new money and partially a refunding for savings on prior bonds). Separate purposes include refunding a separate prior issue, financing a separate Purpose Investment (e.g., a separate loan), financing a Construction Issue, and any clearly discrete governmental purpose reasonably expected to be financed by the issue. In addition, as a general rule, all integrated or functionally related capital projects qualifying for the same initial temporary period (e.g., 3 years) are treated as having a single governmental purpose. Finally, separate purposes may be combined and treated as a single purpose if the proceeds are eligible for the same initial temporary period (e.g., advance refundings of several separate prior issues could be combined, or several non-integrated and functionally unrelated capital projects such as airport runway improvements and a water distribution system). The spending exceptions described in this Appendix are applied separately to each separate issue component of a multipurpose issue unless otherwise specifically noted. (b) Six -Month Exception. An issue is treated as meeting the Rebate Requirement under this exception if (i) the gross proceeds of the issue are allocated to expenditures for the governmental purposes of the issue within the six-month period beginning on the issue date (the "six-month spending period") and (ii) the Rebate Requirement is met for amounts not required to be spent within the six-month spending period (excluding earnings on a bona fide debt service fund). For purposes of the six-month exception, "gross proceeds" means Gross Proceeds other than amounts (i) in a bona fide debt service fund, (ii) in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund, (iii) that, as of the issue date, are not reasonably expected to be Gross Proceeds Appendix I but that become Gross Proceeds after the end of the six-month spending period, (iv) that represent Sale Proceeds or Investment Proceeds derived from payments under any Purpose Investment of the issue and (v) that represent repayments of grants (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-6(d)(4)) financed by the issue. In the case of an issue no bond of which is a private activity bond (other than a qualified 501(c)(3) bond) or a tax or revenue anticipation bond, the six-month spending period is extended for an additional six months for the portion of the proceeds of the issue which are not expended within the six-month spending period if such portion does not exceed the lesser of five percent of the Proceeds of the issue or $100,000. (c) 18-Month Exception. An issue is treated as meeting the Rebate Requirement under this exception if all of the following requirements are satisfied: (i) the gross proceeds are allocated to expenditures for a governmental purpose of the issue in accordance with the following schedule (the "18-month expenditure schedule") measured from the issue date: (A) at least 15 percent within six months, (B) at least 60 percent within 12 months and (C) 100 percent within 18 months; (ii) the Rebate Requirement is met for all amounts not required to be spent in accordance with the 18-month expenditure schedule (other than earnings on a bona fide debt service fund); and (iii) all of the gross proceeds of the issue qualify for the initial temporary period under Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-2(e)(2). For purposes of the 18-month exception, "gross proceeds" means Gross Proceeds other than amounts (i) in a bona fide debt service fund, (ii) in a reasonably required reserve or replacement fund, (iii) that, as of the issue date, are not reasonably expected to be Gross Proceeds but that become Gross Proceeds after the end of the 18-month expenditure schedule, (iv) that represent Sale Proceeds or Investment Proceeds derived from payments under any Purpose Investment of the issue and (v) that represent repayments of grants (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.148-6(d)(4)) financed by the issue. In addition, for purposes of determining compliance with the first two spending periods, the investment proceeds included in gross proceeds are based on the issuer's reasonable expectations as of the issue date rather than the actual Investment Proceeds; for the third, final period, actual Investment Proceeds earned to date are used in place of the reasonably expected earnings. An issue does not fail to satisfy the spending requirement for the third spending period above as a result of a Reasonable Retainage if the Reasonable Retainage is allocated to expenditures within 30 months of the issue date. Reasonable Retainage shall mean an amount, not to exceed five percent of Net Sale Proceeds as of the end of the 18- month expenditure schedule (in the case of the 18-month exception to the Rebate Requirement), that is retained for reasonable business purposes relating to the property financed with the issue. For example, a Reasonable Retainage may include a retention to ensure or promote compliance with a construction contract in circumstances in which the retained amount is not yet payable, or in which the issuer reasonably determines that a dispute exists regarding completion or payment. Appendix I (d) Expenditures for Governmental Purposes of the Issue. For purposes of the spending exceptions, expenditures for the governmental purposes of an issue include payments for interest, but not principal, on the issue and for principal or interest on another issue of obligations. The preceding sentence does not apply for purposes of the 18-month exception if those payments cause the issue to be a refunding issue. (e) De Minimis Rule. Any failure to satisfy the final spending requirement of the 18- month exception is disregarded if the issuer exercises due diligence to complete the project financed and the amount of the failure does not exceed the lesser of three percent of the issue price of the issue or $250,000. (f) Special Rules Relating to Refundings. (1) Transferred Proceeds. In the event that a prior issue that might otherwise qualify for one of the spending exceptions is refunded, then for purposes of applying the spending exceptions to the prior issue, proceeds of the prior issue that become transferred proceeds of the refunding issue continue to be treated as unspent proceeds of the prior issue; if such unspent proceeds satisfy the requirements of one of the spending exceptions then they are not subject to rebate either as proceeds of the prior issue or of the refunding issue. Generally, the only spending exception applicable to refunding issues is the six-month exception. In applying the six-month exception to a refunding of a prior issue, only transferred proceeds of the refunding issue from a taxable prior issue and other amounts excluded from the definition of gross proceeds of the prior issue under the special definition of gross proceeds contained in section (b) above are treated as gross proceeds of the refunding issue and so are subject to the six-month exception applicable to the refunding issue. (2) Series of Refundhip. In the event that an issuer undertakes a series of refundings for a principal purpose of exploiting the difference between taxable and tax-exempt interest rates, the six-month spending exception is measured for all issues in the series commencing on the date the first bond of the series is issued. (g) Elections Applicable to Pool Bonds. An issuer of a pooled financing issue can elect to apply the spending exceptions separately to each loan from the date such loan is made or, if earlier, on the date on year after the date the pool bonds are issued. In the event this election is made, no spending exceptions are available and the normal Rebate Requirement applies to Gross Proceeds prior to the date on which the applicable spending periods begin.

Hartford Drive, Suite 115 Scottsdale, Arizona 85255 Re: $5,075,000 City of Crestview, Florida Water and Sewer Revenue Bond, Series 2021 Ladies and Gentlemen: The undersigned, as City Attorney for the City of Crestview, Florida (the "City"), has acted as counsel to the City in connection with the issuance of the referenced Bond (the "Bond") pursuant to and under the authority of the Constitution of the State of Florida, the Charter of the City of Crestview, Florida, Chapter 166, Part Il, Florida Statutes, and other applicable provisions of law, and Resolution No. 16-05 adopted by the City Council of the City (the "City Council") on November 30, 2015, as supplemented by Resolution No. 2022-6 adopted by the City Council on December 13, 2021 (collectively, the "Resolution"). The Bond is payable solely from and secured by Net Revenues as provided in the Resolution. There is no lien or pledge of any ad valorem taxes of the City. Any capitalized undefined terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Resolution. I am the City Attorney. In that capacity, I have examined all proceedings of the City in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Bond, including the Resolution which were adopted and enacted pursuant to and under the provisions of the Act. I have also made such investigation and have examined such other ordinances, resolutions, certificates, documents, public records and proceedings as I have deemed relevant and necessary in rendering the opinions expressed below. I am of the opinion that: 1. The City is a political subdivision of the State of Florida, duly created and validly existing and has full legal right, power and authority to adopt the Resolution, to issue the Bond, to 420 East Pine Avenue - Crestview, Florida 32539 - (850) 398-6808 City of Crestview, Florida Bryant Miller Olive P.A.

The Resolution was adopted by the City council at duly called public meetings, and have not otherwise been amended or repealed and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof. 3. The Bond has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the City and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the City enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject as to enforceability of any remedies to any applicable bankruptcy or insolvency laws or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally, from time to time in effect). 4. The adoption of the Resolution, and the authorization, execution and delivery of the Bond, and compliance with the provisions thereof, will not conflict with, or constitute a breach of or default under, any law, administrative regulation, ordinance, resolution, or any consent decree or agreement known to me, or other instrument to which the City was or is subject, as the case may be, nor will such adoption, execution, delivery, authorization or compliance result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or other security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of the City, or under the terms of any law, administrative regulation, ordinance, resolution or any instrument known to me. 5. The City has lawful authority to pledge the Net Revenues in the manner provided in the Resolution as security for the Bond, and such pledge constitutes a valid and binding pledge of the Net Revenues for the payment of the Bond. Except for the Outstanding Parity Bonds and the City of Crestview, Florida SRF Loan Agreements WW432110, WW432120 and WW432121, the Net Revenues are not pledged as security for any other obligation of the City. The City has lawful authority to operate the System and to determine, fix, impose and collect rates and charges for use of the System in the manner and to the extent described in the Ordinance No. 1601 of the City. 6. All approvals, consents, authorizations and orders of any governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction in any matter which would constitute a condition precedent to the performance by the City of its obligations under the Resolution have been obtained and are in full force and effect. 7. All conditions precedent to the issuance of the Bond contained in ordinances or resolutions of the City have been complied with on or before the date hereof. 8. To the best of my knowledge, after reasonable inquiries, there is no litigation pending or threatened, to restrain or enjoin the issuance or sale of the Bond or in any way affecting any authority for or the validity of the Bond, the Resolution, the pledge of Net Revenues as provided in the Resolution, or the collection or receipt by the City of any material portion of the Net Revenues.
