Interest on the Bonds is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 1993. The Bonds will mature each April 15, commencing April 15, 1994 and will bear interest as set forth in the Ordinance.

We have examined a form of the executed Bonds and have found the same to have been executed in the manner required by law. In addition, we have examined certain certificates of the City, the opinion of the City's legal counsel dated the date hereof, and such other certificates, opinions and documents as we deemed relevant and necessary in rendering this opinion.

As security for such payment, there are irrevocably pledged a special fund designated as the Bond Fund. The City has covenanted in the Ordinance to pay into the aforesaid Bond Fund sums sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest on the Bonds. The obligations of the City with respect to the Bonds, however, may be subject to general principles of equity which may permit the exercise in the future by the State of Colorado and its governmental bodies of the police power inherent in the sovereignty of the State, are subject to the provisions of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights now or hereafter in effect, and are subject to the exercise by the United States of America of the powers delegated to it by the United States Constitution. We are further of the opinion that, under existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal and State of Colorado income tax purposes. Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that under existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, interest on the Bonds is not included in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of the Colorado alternative minimum tax. The Code imposes various restrictions, conditions and requirements relating to the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on obligations, such as the Bonds. The City has covenanted in the Ordinance and certain other documents to comply with certain guidelines and limitations designed to assure that interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income. Failure to comply with these covenants may result in interest on the Bonds being included in gross income from the date of issue of the Bonds. Our opinion assumes compliance with such covenants. We are further of the opinion that interest on the Bonds is not a specific preference itent for purposes of the alternative minimum tax provisions contained in the Code; however, for certain corporations interest on the Bonds is included in the "adjusted current earnings" (i.e., alternative minimum taxable income as adjusted for certain items, including those items that would be included in the calculation of a corporation's earnings and profits under Subchapter C of the Code) for taxable years beginning after 1989, and such corporations are required to include in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income 75 % of the excess of each such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses). The accrual or receipt of interest on the Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax liability of the recipient. The extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the recipient's particular tax status or other items of income or deduction. We specifically express no opinion regarding any such consequences. Purchasers of the Bonds, particularly purchasers that are corporations (including S corporations, foreign corporations operating branches in the 02f4812.J A-2 ~- ~ '~\]~ e. ~" .1"..... .. 6,' \1; N '{ . '\,. - ..-- -~- United States, and corporations subject to the environmental tax imposed by Section 59A of the Code), property or casualty insurance companies, banks, thrifts, or other financial institutions, or certain recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, are advised to consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of purchasing or holding the Bonds. The opinions expressed herein are based upon existing legislation as of the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds, and we express no opinion as of any date subsequent hereto or with respect to any pending legislation.
