See, Florida Attorney General Opinion 98-71 (1998). Accordingly, no security interest
in the Equipment is granted to the Lessee
5. Under Florida law, the City cannot indemnify a private entity. See, Florida Attorney

the Contract nor relieve any party of its rights or obligations which may remain under
the Contract. As the Lessee assumes all risk that a provision of the Contract may be
rendered unenforceable under Florida law, the Lessee shall not able to claim that it

Re: Master Lease No. 33765 as amended by Addendum #1 to Master Lease dated 02-
21-2019 and Delivery Order No. 001, dated 02-21-2019, by and between
BancorpSouth Equipment Finance, a division of BancorpSouth Bank, as Seller, and
City of Crestview, Florida, as Buyer (the "Equipment Contract").
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the City Attorney for the City of Crestview, Florida (the "Buyer") and in connection
with the above -referenced transaction, I am familiar with the above -referenced Equipment
Contract (herein, the "Contract").
This opinion letter is furnished to you pursuant to Section 1 of the Contract at the request
and with the consent of the Buyer. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the definitions set forth in the Contract. This opinion letter is limited to the matters expressly
stated herein. No opinions are to be inferred or implied beyond the opinions expressly so stated.
This opinion letter has been prepared and is to be construed in accordance with the "Report
on Third -Party Legal Opinion Customary Practice in Florida, dated December 3, 2011" (the
"Report"). The Report is incorporated by reference into this opinion letter.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, I have relied, without investigation, on each of
the assumptions implicitly included in all opinions of Florida counsel that are set forth in the Report
in "Common Elements of Opinions — Assumptions". I have relied upon, and assumed the accuracy
of, the representations and warranties contained in the Contract supplied to me by the Buyer with
respect to the factual matters set forth therein. However, no opinion is rendered hereunder as to
the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained in the Contract except as set forth
specifically herein.
When used in this opinion letter, the phrases "to my knowledge," "known to me" or the
like means the conscious awareness I have of factual matters I recognize as being relevant to the
opinion or confirmation so qualified. Such phrases do not imply that I have undertaken any
independent investigation within my firm, with the Buyer or with any third party to determine the
existence or absence of any facts or circumstances, and no inference should be drawn merely from
420 East Pine Avenue • Crestview, Florida 32539 • (850) 398-6808

my past or current representation of the Buyer. Where any opinion or confirmation is qualified by
the phrase "to my knowledge," "known to me" or the like, it means that I am without any actual
knowledge or conscious awareness that the opinion or confirmation is untrue in any respect
material to the opinion or confirmation.
Based on my examination of the Contract and such other documents, instruments and
certificates as I have deemed relevant or necessary to form the basis for the opinions set forth in
this opinion letter, and subject to the foregoing, and further subject to the assumptions, limitations
and qualifications contained herein, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Buyer is a municipality created pursuant to general or special law authorized
or recognized pursuant to s. 2 or s. 6, Art. VIII of the State Constitution empowered to borrow
money, contract loans, and issue bonds from time to time to finance the undertaking of any capital
or other project for the purposes permitted by the State Constitution.
2. The Contract has been duly executed and delivered by the Buyer and constitutes a
valid, legal and binding obligation of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms.
3. No further approval, consent or withholding of objections is required from any
federal, state or local government authority with respect to the entering into or performance by the
Buyer of the Contract and the transactions contemplated thereby.
4. The entering into and performance of the Contract and other related documents will
not violate any judgment or order applicable to the Buyer or result in any breach of, or constitute
a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance
upon any assets of the Buyer or the leased equipment purchase pursuant thereunto or to any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan, credit agreement or other instrument to which the
Buyer is a party or by which it or its assets may be bound.
5. To my knowledge there are no actions, suits or other proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Buyer, threatened against or affecting the Buyer in any court or before any
government commission, board or authority which if adversely determined, will have a material
adverse effect on the ability of the Buyer to perform its obligations under the Contract.
6. The equipment subject to the Contract is personal property and, when subjected to
use by the Buyer, will not be or become fixtures under the laws of the State in which it is located.
7. The City has complied with all required public bidding procedures, if any,
regarding the award of the Contract.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following exceptions, qualifications and
limitations:

Execution and Delivery Qualification:
I did not physically witness the execution and delivery of the Contract, and my opinion
herein regarding the execution and delivery of the Contract is based, in part, on my review of
copies of executed signature pages for such Contract provided to me (electronically or otherwise).
Additionally, I have assumed for purposes of reaching my opinion that the Seller has executed the
Contract as and where required.
Remedies Opinion Qualification:
The opinions regarding enforceability of the Contract that are contained in paragraph 2
above are limited by:
1. bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance and transfer, and similar law affecting the rights and remedies
of creditors generally (the "Bankruptcy Exception"); and
2. general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding at law or in equity (the "Equitable Principles
Limitation").
In addition, certain of the provisions of the Contract might not be enforceable; nevertheless,
subject to the Bankruptcy Exception and the Equitable Principles Limitation, such
unenforceability: (i) will not render the Contract invalid as a whole, or (ii) substantially interfere
with the practical realization of the principal benefits purported to be provided by the Contract.
No Violation and No Breach or Default Qualification:
As noted in Addendum #1 to Master Lease dated 02-21-2019, the Buyer cannot grant a
security interest in and to real or personal property or be subjected to any such security interests.
Personal Property/Fixture Opinion Qualification:
I call to your attention that the definition of "fixtures" under Florida law arises under
Florida's enactment of the Uniform Commercial Code and that, as noted in Addendum #1 to
Master Lease dated 02-21-2019, the Buyer cannot grant a security interest in and to real or personal
property or be subjected to any such security interests if filing and/or perfection of a purported
security interest is attempted by a purported secured parry.
Applicable Law Qualification:
The following federal and Florida laws, rules and regulations are expressly excluded from
the scope of this opinion letter: laws, rules and regulations that are defined as the Excluded Laws
BancorpSouth Equipment Finance
February 26, 2019
Page 4
in the "Common Elements of Opinions -Limitations to Laws of Specific Jtuisdictions or to
Substantive Areas of Law; Excluded Areas of Law" section of the Report.
Other Matters:
I do not express any opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida
and the United States of America.
This opinion letter is furnished to you solely for your benefit in connection with the
referenced matter and may not be relied upon by any other party without my prior written consent
in each instance. Further, copies of this opinion letter may not be furnished to any other party, nor
may any portion of this opinion letter be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document
without my prior written consent in each instance.
This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof. I assume no obligation to update or
supplement this opinion letter if any applicable laws change after the date of this opinion letter or
if I become aware after the date of this opinion letter of any facts or other developments, whether
existing before or first arising after the date hereof, that might change the opinions expressed
above.
Sincerely,
Jonathan T. Holloway
