BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY,FLORIDA:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND AUTHORIZATIONS. It is hereby found
and detennined that:
(A) There is a need for interim financing of various capital improvements at the
Key West International Airport (the "Airport") in connection with the Concourse A
Expansion (the "Project"), as such Project is more particularly described in the plans and
specifications on file with Monroe County,Florida(the "County").
(B) The County previously solicited proposals from various financial
institutions, via a competitive process,to provide the County with a revolving line of credit
to finance and refinance costs of the Project on an interim basis.
(C) County staff and the financial advisor for the Airport, Frasea & Associates,
LLC (the "Financial Advisor"), have reviewed all of the proposals received and the
proposal (the "Proposal") received from PNC Bank, National Association (the
"Noteholder"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, has been determined to be
the most beneficial proposal for the County.
(D) The County deems it to be in its best interest to accept the Proposal of the
Noteholder to provide it with a revolving line of credit (the "Line of Credit") and to issue
its Taxable Master Airport Revenue Note (PNC Bank, National Association Line of
Credit), Series 2021 (the "Master Note")to the Noteholder to secure and evidence the Line
of Credit.
(E) The County and the Noteholder shall enter into a Line of Credit Agreement
(the "Line of Credit Agreement")substantially in th.e form attached hereto as Exhibit B that
will contain various terms of and provisions for the Line of Credit and the Master Note.

Credit shall be solely secured by and payable from the Pledged Funds (as defined in the
Line of Credit Agreement),which consist of the Net Revenues and Eligible PFCs derived
from the operation of the Airport, as such terms are defined in the Line of Credit

(H) Due to the potential volatility of the market for obligations such as the Master
Note and the complexity of the transactions relating to the Master Note and the Line of
Credit, it is in the best interest of the County to sell the Master Note by a negotiated sale to
the Noteholder pursuant to the Proposal,the Line of Credit Agreement and the provisions

the best possible price, terms and interest rate for the Master Note and the Line of Credit

9
subdivision or agency thereof,within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or charter
limitations of indebtedness, but shall be solely secured by and payable from a lien on and
pledge of the Pledged Funds. The Noteholder shall never have the right to compel the
exercise of the ad valorem taxing power of the County, or taxation in any form on any
property therein to pay the Draws or the interest thereon. The Draws and the Master Note
are special and limited obligations solely payable as to principal and interest from the
Pledged Funds. The County does hereby irrevocably pledge the Pledged Funds to the

hereof. The pledge of and lien on such Pledged Funds shall attach with respect to each

under Section 5.01(a) hereof.
SECTION 2.06. RATE COVENANT. For each Fiscal Year, the County shall

debt service becoming due in such Fiscal Year with respect to all amounts drawn and
outstanding against the Master Note and any other outstanding indebtedness secured by
and payable from the Pledged Funds. For purposes of this Section 2.06,annual debt service
with respect to the Master Note shall be calculated for each Fiscal Year assuming that the
maximum principal amount that was outstanding against the Master Note during such
Fiscal Year is amortized on a level annual debt service basis over 30 years from the
commencement of such Fiscal Year and assuming that such principal amount bears interest
at The Bond Buyer Revenue Bond Index, or if unavailable, a similar index.
Such rates, fees, rentals and other charges shall not be so reduced so as to be
insufficient to provide adequate Pledged Funds for the purposes provided therefor by this
Agreement.
If, in any Fiscal Year, the County shall fail to comply with the requirements
contained in this Section 2.06, it shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 5.01(c)

consultant to review its rates, fees, rentals, charges, income, Gross Revenues, PFCs,

issue or incur any indebtedness that is secured by and payable from the Pledged Funds
without the prior written consent of the Noteholder. The County may, without the consent
of the Noteholder, issue any additional indebtedness secured by the Pledged Funds if the
proceeds of such additional indebtedness will be applied to pay, in full, all amounts due to
the Noteholder with respect to the Master Note.
SECTION 2.08 OTHER COVENANTS. (a) The County irrevocably
covenants, binds and obligates itself not to sell, lease, encumber or in any manner dispose
of the Airport as a whole or any substantial part thereof(except as provided below) until
all amounts due and owing hereunder shall have been paid in full. The foregoing provision
notwithstanding, the County shall have and hereby reserves the right to sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of any of the property comprising a part of the Airport in the following
manner, if any one of the following conditions exist: (i) such property is not necessary for
the operation of the Airport, (ii) such property is not useful in the operation of the Airport,
(iii) such property is not profitable in the operation of the Airport, or (iv) in the case of a
lease of such property,will be advantageous to the Airport and will not materially adversely

or grant licenses for the operation of, or grant easements or other rights with respect to, any
part of the Airport if such contract, license, easement or right does not, in the opinion of
the County, impede or restrict the operation of the Airport, but any payments to the County
under or in connection with any such contract, license, easement or right in respect of the
Airport or any part thereof shall constitute Gross Revenues.
(b) The County will reasonably enforce and collect the rates, fees, rentals and
other charges for the services and facilities of the Airport herein pledged; will take all
reasonable steps, actions and proceedings for the enforcement and collection of such rates,
charges, rentals and fees as shall become delinquent, to the full extent permitted or
authorized by law; and will maintain accurate records with respect thereof.
(c) The County covenants to do all things necessary on its part to continue the
levy of the Passenger Facility Charges in compliance with the PFC Act and any successor
provision of law and to diligently enforce collection of the Passenger Facility Charges. The
County will at all times comply with all of the requirements and conditions of the PFC Act,
the PFC Regulations and the PFC Authority, and take every necessary action to remain
qualified to levy the Passenger Facility Charges and collect the PFC Revenues. The County
will not take any action which will jeopardize eligibility for receipt of such funds which
may adversely affect the undertakings provided in this Agreement. The County will not
take any action or enter into any agreement which will have the effect of reducing the level
11
of Passenger Facility Charges received by the County if such reduction shall materially
adversely affect the County's ability to pay the amounts due hereunder. The County will
use its best efforts to obtain approval of the eligibility of certain PFCs for the Project and
authorization to pledge such PFCs as security for the Master Note.
(d) The County covenants that it will comply with all provisions of the PFC Act
and the PFC Regulations applicable to the County, and all provisions of the PFC
Approvals, and that it will not take any action or omit to take any action with respect to the
PFC Revenues, the Project, the Airport or otherwise if such action or omission would,
pursuant to the PFC Act, the PFC Regulations or the PFC Approvals, cause the termination
of the authority to impose Passenger Facility Charges or prevent the use of the Eligible
PFC Revenues as contemplated by this Agreement and PFC Approvals. The County
covenants that all PFC Revenues will be used in compliance with all provisions of the PFC
Act, the PFC Regulations and the PFC Approvals applicable to the County, and all
provisions thereof.
(e) The County shall not take any action which would cause the Administrator
of the Federal Aviation Administration, or any successor to the powers and authority of
such Administrator,to suspend or revoke operating certificates issued for the Airport under
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, or any successor statute. The County shall comply with
all valid acts, including the acts, rules, regulations, orders and directives of any
governmental, legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body applicable to the
Airport, unless the same shall be contested in good faith.
(f) The County covenants that it will at all times use reasonable efforts, subject
to force majeure, to keep the Airport open for landings and takeoffs of aircraft of any type
using facilities similar to those at the Airport and to maintain the powers, duties and
obligations now reposed in it pursuant to law, and will not at any time take or fail to take
any action the effect of which could reasonably be expected to delay or imperil either the
payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Master Note or the performance or
observance of any of the covenants herein contained.

LIBOR REPLACEMENT RIDER
(a) Announcements Related to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark
Administration, the administrator of LIBOR (the "IBA") and the U.K. Financial Conduct
Authority,the regulatory supervisor for the IBA, announced in a public statement the future
cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, I-month, 2-month,
3-month, 6-month and 12- month USD LIBOR tenor settings (collectively, the "Cessation
Announcements"). The parties hereto acknowledge that, as a result of the Cessation
Announcements, a Benchmark Transition Event occurred on March 5, 2021 with respect
to USD LIBOR under clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of Benchmark Transition Event
below; provided however, no related Benchmark Replacement Date occurred as of such
date.
(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in
any other loan document executed between the Noteholder (also referred to as the 'Bank"
in this Rider) and the County in connection with the issuance of the Master Note (a "Loan
Document"), if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable,
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in
respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, (x) if the Benchmark
Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of
"Benchmark Replacement" on the Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark
Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan
Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings
without any amendment or further action or consent of any other party hereto or to any
other Loan Document; and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance
with clause (3) of the definition of 'Benchmark Replacement" on the Benchmark
Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all
purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at
or after 5:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of
such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Borrower without any amendment hereto
or to any other Loan Document, or further action or consent of the Borrower.
(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Bank will have the right to make
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of the Borrower.
(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Bank will promptly
notify the Borrower of(i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR
D-1
Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the
effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or
reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (e) below and (v) the
commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
detennination, decision or election that may be made by the Bank pursuant to this Rider,
including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence
or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain
from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from the Borrower.
(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the
implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term
rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark
is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time
to time as selected by the Bank in its reasonable discretion or(B) the regulatory supervisor
for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of
information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer
representative, then the Bank may modify the applicable interest period (the "Interest
Period") for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or
non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above
either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark
(including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an
announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a
Benchmark Replacement),then the Bank may modify the Interest Period for all Benchmark
settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower's receipt of notice of the
commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any
request for a loan or advance of, conversion to or continuation of a USD LIBOR loan to be
made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing
that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a
loan or advance of or conversion to a loan or advance at the Fallback Rate. During any
Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Fallback Rate based upon the
then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used
in any determination of the Fallback Rate.
(g) Secondary Term SOFR Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph,
D-2
if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current
Benchmark, then (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current
Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such
Benchmark setting (the "Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date") and subsequent
Benchmark settings,without any amendment or further action or consent of any other party
hereto or to any other Loan Document; and (ii) loans outstanding on the Secondary Term
SOFR Conversion Date bearing interest based on the then-current Benchmark shall be
deemed to have been converted to loans bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement
with a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period of the then-
current Benchmark; provided that, (A) this paragraph (g) shall not be effective unless the
Bank has delivered to the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice and (B) this paragraph (g) shall
not be effective with respect to the Master Note (referred to in this Rider as the "Facility")
if(I) the Borrower has outstanding an interest rate swap with the Bank to hedge, in whole
or part, the floating rate risk under the Facility on the Secondary Term SOFR Conversion
Date, and (II) such swap incorporates LIBOR fallback provisions with a Daily Simple
SOFR rate as the primary alternative fallback rate for USD LIBOR.
(h) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Rider:
"Available Tenor" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-
current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate or is
based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining
such Benchmark or the length of an Interest Period under the terms of the Facility as of
such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that
is then-removed from the concept of "Interest Period" pursuant to paragraph (e) of this
Rider, or (y) if the then-current Benchmark is not a term rate nor based on a term rate, any
payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark under the terms
of the Facility as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for the
Daily LIBOR Rate is one month.
"Base Rate" shall mean the higher of(a) the Prime Rate, and (b) the sum of the
Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 50 basis points (0.50%).
"Benchmark" means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition
Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its
related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the
then-current Benchmark, then 'Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark
Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior
benchmark rate pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Rider.
D-3
"Benchmark Replacement" means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth
in the order below that can be determined by the Bank on the applicable Benchmark
Replacement Date; provided, however, if(i) the Borrower has outstanding an interest rate
swap with the Bank on the Benchmark Replacement Date to hedge, in whole or part, the
floating rate risk under the Facility, and (ii) such swap incorporates LIBOR fallback
provisions with a Daily Simple SOFR rate as the primary alternative fallback rate for USD
LIBOR, then the Benchmark Replacement alternative set forth in clause (1) below shall
not apply to the Facility and the alternative set forth below in clause (2) shall be the first
alternative:
(1) the sum of. (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment;
(2) the sum of. (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment;
(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Bank as
the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor,
giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement
benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant
Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for
determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S.
dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities at such time, and (b) the related
Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is
displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to
time as selected by the Bank in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, with
respect to a Term SOFR Transition Event, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date,
the "Benchmark Replacement" shall revert to and shall be determined as set forth in clause
(1) of this definition, all in accordance with paragraph (g) (Secondary Term SOFR
Conversion) above. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1),
(2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed
to be the Floor for the purposes hereof and of the other Loan Documents.
"Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means, with respect to any replacement of the
then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any Available
Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:
(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of'Benchmark Replacement,"
the applicable arnount(s) set forth below:
D-4

One-Week 0.03839% (3.839 basis points)

Two-Months 0.18456% (18.456 basis points)
Three-Months 0.26161% (26.161 basis points)

adjustment values available here:
b!tL)s:Hassets.bbhub.io/professional/sites/1 Q/IBOR-Fallbacks-LIBOR-
Cessation Announcement 202 103 0 5.pdf.
(2) for purposes of clause(3) of the definition of"Benchmark Replacement," the spread
adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may
be a positive or negative value or zero)that has been selected by the Bank for the applicable
Corresponding Tenor, giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of
a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for
the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark
Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark
Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for
determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread
adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit
facilities;
provided that, if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such
Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the
applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available
Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of "Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment" shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same
length (disregarding Business Day adjustments) as the payment period for interest
calculated with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement.
D-5
"Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to any
Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including
changes to the definition of 'Base Rate," 'Business Day," the timing and frequency of
determining rates and making payments of interest, the Interest Period, the timing of
borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback
periods, the applicability of breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or
operational matters) that the Bank decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and
implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof
by the Bank in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Bank
decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible
or if the Bank determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark
Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Bank decides is
reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of the Facility and the Loan
Documents).
"Benchmark Replacement Date" means the earliest to occur of the following events with
respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of"Benchmark Transition Event,"

therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide
all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of"Benchmark Transition Event," the date
determined by the Bank, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement
or publication of information referenced therein;
(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is set forth in the Term
SOFR Notice provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Rider, which date shall be at least
30 days from the date of the Tenn SOFR Notice; or
(4) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date
notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Borrower.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date
occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any
detennination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to
the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the 'Benchmark Replacement Date"
will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any
Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with
respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof).
D-6
"Benchmark Transition Event" means the occurrence of one or more of the following
events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator
of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof)
announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors
of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided
that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that
will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof);
(2) a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority
having jurisdiction over the Bank, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such
Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an
insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such
component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such
Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or
resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component),
which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or
will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark(or such component thereof)
permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication,
there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of
such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the
administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
thereof) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Bank announcing that
all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer
representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a 'Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have
occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information
set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such
Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
"Benchmark Unavailability Period" means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time
that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has
occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current
Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with
this Rider, and(y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-
D-7
current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in
accordance with this Rider.
"Corresponding Tenor" with respect to any Available Tenor means, as applicable, either

Capital Adequacy
PNC's overall capital planning objective is to maintain sufficient capital resources, both in terms of quantity
and quality,to cover all of the firm's risks and allow the firm to operate effectively through a range of
economic environments. PNC's internal capital adequacy process(CAP)supports this overall objective by
taking into account capital stress testing results,capital and liquidity positions and other risk considerations.
In addition,PNC's CAP has a sound risk management infrastructure, including but not limited to,the
thorough review and consideration of alternative economic scenarios as well as other risks.The Board of
Directors,its Risk Committee,and senior management use the firm's CAP results to assess the level of
capital that is appropriate for the firm to maintain in light of the range of risks facing the firm,the firm's
business strategy,and its risk appetite.Sound capital stress testing practices and methodologies are a key
component of PNC's CAP.
In addition to the CAP, PNC is subject to the Federal Reserve's capital plan rule,annual capital stress
testing requirements and Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review(CCAR)process,as well as the
applicable Dodd-Frank capital stress testing requirements of the Federal Reserve and the OCC.As part of
the CCAR process,the Federal Reserve undertakes a supervisory assessment of PNC's capital adequacy.
This assessment is based on a review of a comprehensive capital plan submitted by PNC to the Federal
Reserve that describes the company's planned capital actions during the nine-quarter review period, as well
as the results of stress tests conducted by both the company and the Federal Reserve under different
hypothetical macroeconomic scenarios, including supervisory severely adverse scenario provided by the
Federal Reserve,
Capital Ratios
The Basel III Common equity Tier 1 capital,Tier 1 risk-based capital and Leverage ratios now reflect the full
phase-in of all Basel III adjustments,effective January 1,2018.The Basel III Total risk-based capital ratio
includes$40 million of non-qualifying trust preferred capital securities that are subject to a phase-out period
that runs through 2021.All current period capital ratios are calculated using the regulatory capital
methodology applicable to us during 2020.These Basel III capital ratios may be impacted by any additional
regulatory guidance or analysis by PNC as to the application of the rules to PNC. Fully implemented Basel
III results are available and presented as estimates in the Basel III Pillar 3 Disclosures linked below. PNC
utilizes the fully implemented Basel III capital ratios to assess the impact to its capital position as if the
impact of CECL had been fully phased in at December 31,2020.
At December 31,2020, PNC and PNC Bank,our sole banking subsidiary,were both considered "well
capitalized,"based on applicable U.S.regulatory capital ratio requirements.To qualify as"well
capitalized,"PNC must have Basel III capital ratios of at least 6%for Tier 1 risk-based capital and 10%for
Total risk-based capital,and PNC Bank must have Basel III capital ratios of at least 6.5%for Common
equity Tier 1 risk-based capital,8%for Tier 1 risk-based capital, 10%for Total risk-based capital and a
Leverage ratio of at least 5%.For PNC Bank's capital ratios,see PNC Bank's Call Report for the period
ended December 31,2020.

Key West, Florida
Re: Monroe County, Florida Taxable Master Airport Revenue Note (PNC Bank,
National Association Line of Credit), Series 2021
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the purchase of the not to exceed $10,000,000 principal amount
of the Monroe County, Florida Taxable Master Airport Revenue Note (PNC Bank,
National Association Line of Credit), Series 2021 (the "Master Note") authorized to be
issued by Resolution No. 222-2021 adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida (the "Issuer") on June 16, 2021 (the "Resolution") and issued
pursuant to the Line of Credit Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of July 1, 2021,
between the Issuer and the undersigned purchaser of the Master Note (the "Original
Purchaser"), the Original Purchaser hereby acknowledges and represents that (1) the
Original Purchaser is familiar with the Issuer and the Key West International Airport (the
"Airport") as it relates to the above transaction; (2) the Original Purchaser has been
furnished certain business and financial information about the Issuer and the Airport;
(3) the Issuer has made available to the Original Purchaser the opportunity to obtain
additional information and to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Master
Note; and(4)the Original Purchaser has had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive
answers from representatives of the Issuer concerning the terms and conditions of the
offering and the infonmation supplied to the Original Purchaser.
The Original Purchaser acknowledges and represents that it has been advised that
the Master Note has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance upon the exemption contained in Section 3(a)(2) thereof, and that the Issuer is not
presently registered under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The Original Purchaser, therefore, realizes that if and when the Original
Purchaser wishes to resell the Master Note, there may not be available current business and
Board of County Commissioners

Page 2
financial information about the Issuer or the Airport. Further,no trading market now exists
for the Master Note. Accordingly, the Original Purchaser understands that it may need to
bear the risks of this investment for an indefinite time, since any sale prior to the maturity
of the Master Note may not be possible or may be at a price below that which the Original
Purchaser is paying for the Master Note.
It is understood that the Original Purchaser is relying upon the accuracy,
completeness and truth of any statements made or information provided by the Issuer
concerning any of the material facts relating to this transaction, including information
regarding the business and financial condition of the Issuer. The Original Purchaser has
conducted its own investigation to the extent it deemed necessary. The Original Purchaser
has been offered an opportunity to have made available to it any and all such information
it might request from the Issuer. On this basis, it is agreed by acknowledgment of this letter
that the Original Purchaser hereto is not relying on any other party or person to undertake
the furnishing or verification of information relating to this transaction other than the
Issuer.
The Original Purchaser acknowledges that the Master Note is being purchased as
part of a private placement of the Master Note negotiated directly between the Issuer and
representatives of the undersigned. Accordingly, no Official Statement or other disclosure
document has been prepared in connection with the issuance of the Master Note and we
hereby acknowledge that we have made our own independent examination of all facts and
circumstances surrounding the Master Note and the financing and that no reliance has been
placed on anyone other than the Issuer.
The Original Purchaser is purchasing the Master Note for its loan portfolio and not
with any present intent to distribute or resell the Master Note. The Original Purchaser
hereby covenants that if the Original Purchaser subsequently decides to distribute or resell
the Master Note, it shall comply in all respects with all securities laws then applicable with
respect to any such distribution or resale.
The Original Purchaser further acknowledges and represents that (1) it is the only
initial purchaser of the Master Note, (2) it has such knowledge and experience in financial
and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Master Note,
and (3) it is not purchasing the Master Note for more than one account or with a view to
distributing the Master Note. The Original Purchaser acknowledges that the
representations contained in this paragraph are being made in order to meet one of the
exceptions to the continuing disclosure requirements set forth in Rule 15c2-12 promulgated
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 218.385, Florida Statutes, the Original
Purchaser is providing the following information with respect to the purchase of the Master
Note. The Original Purchaser represents to you as follows:
(a) The nature and estimated amounts of expenses to be incurred by the Original
Purchaser in connection with the issuance and sale of the Master Note are:
$12,500.00 of fees and expenses of counsel to the Original Purchaser(Bryant
Miller Olive P.A.) to be paid by the Issuer.
(b) There are no "finders," as defined in Section 218.386, Florida Statutes, as
amended, in connection with the issuance of the Master Note.
(c) No underwriting fee will be paid to the Original Purchaser by the Issuer.
(d) No management fee will be charged by the Original Purchaser in connection
with the issuance of the Master Note.
(e) No other fee, bonus or other compensation will be paid by the Original
Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Master Note to any person
not regularly employed or retained by the Original Purchaser (including a
"finder" as defined in Section 218.386, Florida Statutes).
(f) The name and address of the Original Purchaser is:
PNC Bank, National Association
16740 San Carlos Boulevard
Fort Myers, Florida 33908
(g) The Issuer is proposing to issue the Master Note for the principal purpose of
financing and refinancing various capital improvements at the Airport.
Draws against the Master Note are expected to be repaid over various
periods. Assuming that the Issuer draws the entire $10,000,000 against the
Master Note on the date hereof and pays the entire principal balance on June
30, 2023, all at an assumed interest rate of 0.47%, on reliance upon schedules
provided by Frasca & Associates, LLC, total interest paid over the life of
such draw will be approximately $95,175.01. The expected sources of
repayment for draws against the Master Note are the Pledged Funds (as
defined in the Resolution). Making the foregoing assumptions, authorizing
the Master Note will result in an average of approximately $5,047,587.50 (in

Board of County Commissioners
of Monroe County, Florida
Key West, Florida
Commissioners:
We have examined a record of proceedings relating to the issuance of a not to exceed
$10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Monroe County, Florida Taxable Master
Airport Revenue Note (PNC Bank, National Association Line of Credit), Series 2021 (the
"Master Note") pursuant to that certain Line of Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2021
(the "Agreement"), between Monroe County, Florida (the "County") and PNC Bank,
National Association("PNC"). The Master Note is issued pursuant to the Laws of the State
of Florida, including, particularly, Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, and other applicable
provisions of law (the "Act"), and pursuant to Resolution No. 222-2021 adopted by the
Board of County Commissioners of the County on June 16, 2021 (the "Resolution") and
the Agreement.
No Draw (as defined in the Agreement) may be made against the Master Note after
June 29, 2023. Draws against the Master Note shall bear interest at the Interest Rate as
defined in the Agreement. Interest on all Draws made against the Master Note shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of January, April, July and October of each
year. The Draws against the Master Note are subject to prepayment prior to maturity in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The Master Note is in the form of one fully
registered Master Note. Draws may only be made to finance or refinance costs of the
Project (as defined in the Agreement) to the extent and in the manner provided in the
Agreement.
As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the
representations of the County contained in the Resolution and the Agreement and in the
certified proceedings related thereto and to the issuance of the Master Note and other
certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by
independent investigation. Furthermore, we have assumed continuing compliance by the
County with the covenants and agreements contained in the Resolution and the Agreement
executed in connection with the issuance of the Master Note. We have not undertaken an
Board of County Commissioners July 1, 2021
of Monroe County, Florida
Page 2
independent audit, examination, investigation or inspection of the matters described or
contained in any agreements, documents, certificates,representations and opinions relating
to the Master Note, and have relied solely on the facts, estimates and circumstances
described and set forth therein. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed the
genuineness of signatures on all documents and instruments, the authenticity of documents
submitted as originals and the conformity to originals of documents submitted as copies.
Certain requirements and procedures contained or referred to in the Resolution and
the Agreement and other relevant documents may be changed, and certain actions may be
taken under the circumstances and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such
documents, upon the advice or with an approving opinion of nationally recognized bond
counsel. No opinion is expressed herein as to any Draw or the interest thereon or on the
Master Note if any such change occurs or action is taken without our advice or approval or
upon the advice or approval of bond counsel other than ourselves.
Based on the foregoing, under existing law, we are of the opinion that:
I. The County is a duly created and validly existing political subdivision of the
State of Florida.
2. The County has the right and power under the Constitution and Laws of the
State of Florida to adopt the Resolution and execute and deliver the Agreement, the
Resolution has been duly and lawfully adopted by the County, the Agreement has been
duly and lawfully executed and delivered by the County, and assuming that the Agreement
is valid and binding against PNC, each are in full force and effect in accordance with their
respective terms and are valid and binding upon the County and enforceable in accordance
with their respective terms, and no other authorization for the Resolution or the Agreement
is required. The Resolution and the Agreement create the valid pledge and lien which they
purport to create of the Pledged Funds (as defined in the Agreement), subject to the
provisions of the Resolution and the Agreement permitting the application thereof for the
purposes and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Resolution.
3. The County is duly authorized and entitled to issue the Master Note, and the
Master Note has been duly and validly authorized and issued by the County in accordance
with the Act, the Resolution and the Agreement. The Master Note constitutes a valid and
binding obligation of the County as provided in the Resolution and the Agreement, is
enforceable in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Resolution and the Agreement
and is entitled to the benefits of the Resolution and the Agreement. The Master Note does
not constitute a general indebtedness of the County or the State of Florida or any agency,
department or political subdivision thereof, or a pledge of the faith and credit of such
entities, but is payable from the Pledged Funds in the manner and to the extent provided in
Board of County Commissioners July 1, 2021
of Monroe County, Florida
Page 3
the Resolution and the Agreement. No holder of the Master Note shall ever have the right
to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing power of the County or the State of Florida
or any political subdivision, agency or department thereof to pay the Master Note.
4. Interest on the Master Note is not excluded from gross income of the holder
thereof for federal income tax purposes.
We have not been engaged or undertaken to review (1) the accuracy, sufficiency or
completeness of any offering or disclosure material relating to the Master Note and we
express no opinion relating thereto, or(2)the compliance with any federal or state law with
regard to the sale of the Master Note and we express no opinion relating thereto.
The opinions expressed in paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof are qualified to the extent that
the enforceability of the Resolution, the Agreement and the Master Note may be limited
by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally, or by the exercise of judicial discretion in
accordance with general principles of equity.
The opinions expressed herein may be relied upon by the County who may continue
to rely on this opinion only to the extent that(1) there is no change in existing law that may
adversely affect the validity of the Master Note, (2) the representations, agreements and
covenants contained in the Resolution and the Agreement, as the same may be
supplemented and amended from time to time with our knowledge and consent, remain
true and accurate and are complied with, (3) the County complies with the Resolution, the
Agreement and the Code with respect to all Draws made against the Master Note, (4) there
has not been delivered to the County an opinion of this firm of more recent date with respect
to the matters referred to herein, and (5) this opinion letter has not been expressly
withdrawn as evidenced by a letter to the County. Nothing contained in this opinion letter
shall be construed as any undertaking on our part to monitor any changes in applicable law
or to monitor or confirm the accuracy of any such representations or warranties or
compliance with any such agreements or covenants. In addition, we undertake no duty to
expressly advise any holder of the Master Note of any change or development of which we
become aware that may adversely affect this opinion letter.
The opinions set forth herein are expressly limited to, and we opine only with
respect to, the laws of the State of Florida and the federal income tax laws of the United
States of America. The only opinions rendered hereby shall be those expressly stated as

Re:Monroe County, Florida Taxable Master Airport Revenue Note (PNC Bank, National
Association Line of Credit), Series 2021
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I ain an Assistant County Attorney for Monroe County, Florida, a political subdivision of the State
of Florida(the "Issuer"), and am providing this opinion in connection with the issuance of its not to
exceed $10,000,000 Monroe County, Florida Taxable Master Airport Revenue Note (PNC Bank,
National Association Line of Credit), Series 2021 (the"Master Note")and the execution and delivery
of the Line of Credit Agreement dated as of Julyl, 2021 (the "Agreement"), between PNC Bank,
National Association("PNC Bank") and the Issuer. The Master Note has been issued to PNC Bank.
Capitalized tenns used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in
the Agreement or Resolution No. 222-2021 adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County(the "Board") on June 16, 2021 (the "Resolution") or in the Agreement.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Issuer is a duly created and validly existing political subdivision of the State of Florida and
had and has good right and lawful authority under the Constitution and laws of the State to adopt the
Resolution, enter into the Agreement, and to authorize and issue the Master Note.
2. The Resolution has been duly adopted by the Issuer and is in full force and effect and has not
been amended or repealed as of the date hereof, subject to the extent that the enforceability of the
rights and remedies set forth therein, may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws
affecting creditors' rights, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable in
accordance with its terms.
3. The Issuer has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Agreement and assuming the due
authorization, execution and delivery of the Agreement by PNC Bank, the Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its
terms (except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws
relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by such principles of equity as the court
having jurisdiction may impose with respect to certain remedies which require, or may require,
enforcement by a court of equity).
4. The Master Note, issued in the authorized principal amount of not to exceed $10,000,000, was
duly executed and delivered by the Issuer under the authority and pursuant to the provisions of
Chapter 125, Florida Statutes, as amended, and other applicable provisions of law (collectively, the
"Act"), and under the authority and direction of the Resolution and the Agreement and constitutes a
valid and binding agreement of the Issuer 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).
5. The adoption of the Resolution, the execution and delivery of the Agreement and the issuance
of the Master Note and compliance with the provisions thereof will not conflict with or constitute a
material breach of or default under any existing law, administrative regulation, court decree,
resolution or agreement to which the Issuer is subject and the Issuer has the power and authority to
apply Draw proceeds to finance and refinance the Project as contemplated by the Agreement, to
pledge the Pledged Funds so pledged under the Agreement and to pay the Master Note and interest
thereon in accordance with the terms thereof.
6. To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, 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 Issuer of its obligations under the Resolution, the
Agreement and the Master Note have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
7. The Issuer is lawfully empowered to pledge the Pledged Funds to the extent provided in the
Agreement and to provide funds to finance and refinance the Costs of the Project and to pay the
costs of issuance of the Master Note.
8. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at law or in
equity, before or by any court, government agency, public board or body, pending or, to the best of
my knowledge, threatened against the Issuer, affecting or seeking to prohibit, restrain or enjoin the
sale, issuance or delivery of the Master Note or the execution of the Agreement or the adoption of
the Resolution or the collection of the Pledged Funds to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Master Note, or contesting or affecting as to the Issuer the validity or enforceability
of the Act in any respect relating to authorization for the issuance of the Master Note,the Resolution,
the Agreement, or contesting the powers of the Issuer or any authority for the issuance of the Master
Note, or the execution of the Agreement, or the issuance of the Master Note or the adoption of the
Resolution or, except as has been disclosed in writing to PNC Bank, which could materially
adversely impact the financial condition of the Issuer or the Airport.
All of the above opinions as to enforceability of the legal obligations of the Issuer are subject to and
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws, in each case
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors'rights generally, and other general principles of
equity.
Very truly yours,
,C` F
