3. All taxable property within the corporate boundaries of the Issuer is subject to the
levy of taxes to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds without constitutional or statutory
limitation as to rate or amount.
4. The interest on the Bonds (including any original issue discount properly
allocable to an owner thereof) is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes
and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed
on individuals and corporations; it should be noted, however, that for the purpose of computing
the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations (as defined for federal income tax
purposes), such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. The
opinions set forth. in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the Issuer comply
with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") that must be satisfied
subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be, or continue to be,
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to
comply with each such requirement. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may
cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income for federal income tax purposes to
be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds.
We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to
the Bonds.
The rights of the owners of the Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors'
rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable, and their
enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases.
