accordance with the provisions of the Lease-Purchase Agreement. Such covenant and
agreement on the part of the City to budget and appropriate such amounts of non-ad valorem
funds shall be cumulative to the extent not paid, and shall continue until such non-ad valorem
funds in amounts sufficient to make all required payments shall have been budgeted,
appropriated, and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the City, the City
does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the
City, which generate non-ad valorem funds. This covenant to budget and appropriate does not
create a lien upon or pledge of non-ad valorem funds, nor does it preclude the City from

col lect any particular non-ad valorem funds, nor does it give the holder of the Lease-Purchase
2 RESOLUTION NO. 2001-229
Agreement a prior claim on the non-ad valorem funds as opposed to claims of general
• creditors of the City. This covenant to budget and appropriate non-ad valorem funds is subject
in all respects to the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt instruments. However,
the covenant to budget and appropriate in its general annual budget for the purposes and in
the manner stated herein shall have the effect of imposing on the City the positive duty to
budget and appropriate, by amendment if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations
under the Lease-Purchase Agreement, subject however in all respects to the restrictions of
§166.241(3), Florida Statutes, as amended (or any successor provision), which provides that
the amounts available from taxation and other services, including amounts carried over from
prior fiscal years, must equal the total appropriation for expenditures and reserves; and subject
further to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public services
affecting the health, welfare, and safety of the inhabitants of the City or which are legally
mandated by applicable law. Non-ad valorem funds means all revenues of the City derived
from any source other than ad valorem taxation on real property or tangible personal property,
which are legally available to make payments required under the Lease-Purchase Agreement,
but only after provision has been made by the City for the payment of the costs of services and
programs which are for essential public service purposes affecting the health, welfare, and
safety of the inhabitants of the City or which are legally mandated.
ALL PRINCIPAL, INTEREST, AND OTHER SUMS WHICH ARE THE CITY'S FINANCIAL
OBLIGATIONS INCURRED PURSUANT TO THE AUTHORIZED LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT
SHALL BE PAYABLE SOLELY FROM NON-AD VALOREM FUNDS. NEITHER THE FULL FAITH AND
• CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH IS OR SHALL BE PLEDGED TO
THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL, INTEREST, OR OTHER SUMS PAYABLE UNDER THE
AGREEMENT. NEITHER THE HOLDER NOR OTHER PERSON SHALL, ON ACCOUNT OF THE
LEASE-PURCHASE AGREEMENT, HAVE ANY RIGHT TO COMPEL THE EXERCISE OF THE AD
VALOREM TAXING POWER OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH ON ANY FORM OF REAL OR
PERSONAL PROPERTY TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL, INTEREST, OR ANY OTHER SUMS PAYABLE
UNDER THE AGREEMENT.
SECTION 5: Should any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase or other part of this
Resolution be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such decision shall
not affect the validity of this Resolution as a whole or any portion or part of it, other than the
part so declared to be invalid.
SECTION 6: This Resolution shall be in force and take effect immediately upon its passage
and adoption.

Re: Master Lease Agreement dated as of 12/13/01 (the "Agreement") by and
between SunTrust Leasing Corporation ("Lessor") and City of Dania
Beach ("Lessee")
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lessee with respect to the Agreement
described above and various related matters, and in this capacity have reviewed
a duplicate original or certified copy thereof and Equipment Schedule No. 01
executed pursuant thereto (together with the Agreement, the "Lease"). The terms
capitalized in this opinion but not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Lease. Based upon the examination of these and such
other documents as we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion that:
1. Lessee is a political subdivision of the State of FL (the "State")
within the meaning of Section 103 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and is duly organized, existing and operating under the Constitution
and Laws of the State.
SunTrust Leasing Corporation
December 13, 2001
Page 2
2. Lessee is authorized and has the power under applicable law to
enter into the Lease, and to carry out its obligations thereunder and the
transaction contemplated thereby.
3. The Lease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
and on behalf of Lessee, and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Lessee
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be
limited to bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles.
4. The authorization and execution of the Lease and all other
proceedings of Lessee relating to the transactions contemplated thereby have
been performed in accordance with all applicable open meeting, public bidding
and all other laws, rules and regulations of the State.
5. The execution of the Lease and the appropriation of moneys to pay
the Rental Payments coming due thereunder do not and will not result in the
violation of any constitutional, statutory or other limitation relating to the manner,
form or amount of indebtedness which may be incurred by Lessee.
6. There is no litigation, action, suit or proceeding pending or before
any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body that challenges
the organization or existence of Lessee, the authority of Lessee or its officers or
• its employees to enter into the Lease, the proper authorization and/or execution
of the Lease or the documents contemplated thereby, the appropriation of
moneys to make Rental Payments under the Lease for the current Fiscal Year of
Lessee, or the ability of Lessee otherwise to perform its obligations under the
Lease and the transactions contemplated thereby. To the best of our knowledge,
no such litigation, action, suit or proceeding is threatened.
7. The Equipment is personal property, and when used by Lessee will
not be or become fixtures under the Laws of the State.
8. Resolution No. 2001-229 of the governing body of Lessee was duly
and validly adopted by such governing body on December 11, 2001, and such
resolution has not been amended, modified, supplemented or repealed and
remains in full force and effect.
This opinion may be relied upon by the addressee hereof and its
successors of interests in the Lease, but only with regard to matters specifically
set forth herein.

contemplated thereby have been performed in accordance with all applicable open meeting, public records, public bidding and all other

governmental body that challenges the organization or existence of Lessee, the authority of Lessee or its officers or its employees to enter
into the Lease,the proper authorization and/or execution of the Lease or the documents contemplated thereby,the appropriation of moneys
to make Rental Payments under the Lease for the current Fiscal Year of Lessee,or the ability of Lessee otherwise to perform its obligations
under the Lease and the transactions contemplated thereby. To the best of our knowledge,no such litigation, action, suit or proceeding is
threatened.
7. The Equipment is personal property,and when used by Lessee will not be or become fixtures under the laws of the State.
