Gentlemen:
I am counsel to Okaloosa County, Florida (the "Public Agency"), and have been
requested by the Public Agency to give this opinion in connection with a loan in the
principal amount of $_______________ (the "Loan") by the Florida Local Government
Finance Commission (the "Commission") to the Public Agency of funds to finance,
refinance or reimburse the cost of ___________________ (the "Project") [the Public
Agency Expenses (as defined in the hereinafter defined Loan Agreement] pursuant to the
terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement (Airport Revenues), dated as of
___________, 2012 (the "Loan Agreement"), among the Commission, the Public Agency
and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.
In this connection, I have reviewed such records, certificates and other documents
as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, including
Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and other applicable
provision of law, the relevant resolutions or ordinances adopted by the Board of County
Commissioners of the Public Agency approving the Loan (collectively, the "Resolution"),
the Loan Agreement and the Trust Indenture, dated as of June 6, 2011, (the "Indenture"),
between the Commission and U.S. Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Based on
such review and such investigation as I have deemed necessary and such other
consideration of law and fact as I believe to be relevant, I am of the opinion that:

Florida ("State"), validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State, is not

in violation of any provision of law material to the transactions contemplated by the Loan
Agreement and the Loan, and has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver
the Loan Agreement and the Loan Note or Notes (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
related to the Project [Public Agency Expenses], to enter into the Loan and to acquire,
construct and equip the Project [finance the Public Agency Expenses].
2. No approval, authorization, consent or other order of any governmental
entity or of any court, public board or body (other than those already obtained), and no
approving referendum of the qualified electors of the Public Agency, is legally required
for the Public Agency to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement
and the Loan Note related to the Project [Public Agency Expenses].
3. The Public Agency has the requisite power to acquire, construct and equip
the Project [finance the Public Agency Expenses] and to enter into the Loan Agreement
and the Loan and has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement
and the Loan Note related to the Project [Public Agency Expenses] and receipt of the
Loan. The Public Agency is duly authorized to use the proceeds of the Loan to finance,
refinance or reimburse the costs of acquiring, constructing and equipping the Project
[finance the Public Agency Expenses].
4. The Loan Agreement creates a valid pledge of and lien upon the Designated
Revenues (as defined in the Loan Agreement).
5. Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement, receipt of the
Loan nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor the fulfillment
of or compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement conflicts with or
results in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Constitution or
laws of the State (including any limit on indebtedness), or any corporate restriction or any
agreement, instrument or governmental or court order to which the Public Agency is now
a party or by which it is bound or constitutes a default under any of the foregoing.

court, governmental body or officer for the execution and delivery of the Loan
Agreement and the Loan Note related to the Project [Public Agency Expenses] and
receipt of the Loan; the Public Agency has complied with any applicable provisions of

Agency, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except to the extent that the
Attachment: Okaloosa Loan Agreement (Airport Revenues) (1111 : Approval of Resolution to Refinance Capital Projects Loan)
enforceability thereof may be limited by laws relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of
the Public Agency or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by general
principles of equity.
8. To the best of my knowledge (based upon due inquiry and investigation),
there is no litigation or legal or governmental action, proceeding, inquiry or investigation
pending or threatened by judicial or governmental authorities to which the Public Agency
is a party or any property of the Public Agency is subject, which, if determined adversely
to the Public Agency, would individually or in the aggregate (a) adversely affect the
validity or the enforceability of the Loan Agreement, the Loan Note related to the Project
[Public Agency Expenses] or the Loan, (b) otherwise materially and adversely affect the
ability of the Public Agency to comply with its obligations under the Loan Agreement or
the Loan Note related to the Project [Public Agency Expenses], or (c) materially and
adversely affect the acquisition, construction and equipping of the Project [financing of
the Public Agency Expenses].
9. The Public Agency is subject to suit in a court of competent jurisdiction by
