As arbitrage rebate counsel we have examined the law and such other documents, proceedings and other papers as we deem necessary to render this opinion, including certain account transaction statements provided by the Issuer which describe the deposits,disbursements and investment activities in certain funds and accounts held by the Issuer during the period beginning on August 29, 2007 and ending on April 28, 2011, the date the Bonds were redeemed in full. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the information furnished to us by the Issuer without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. In addition, we have assumed that all investments acquired with gross proceeds of the Bonds were purchased and sold at fair market value pursuant to arm's-length transactions. Amounts held in a "bona fide debt service fund" are not taken into account in computing arbitrage rebate. A"bona fide debt service fund" is a fund that— (I) is used primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues with principal and interest payments within each bond year; and (2) is depleted at least once each bond year, except for a reasonable carryover amount not to exceed the greater of(A) the earnings on the fund for the preceding bond year, or (B) one-twelfth of the principal and interest payments on the bond issue for the preceding bond year. We understand that the principal and interest account qualified as a bona fide debt service fund in each bond year during the computation period. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that,under existing law: 1. The amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Bonds subject to arbitrage rebate as of April 28, 2011 was $108,729.53 less than the amount which would have been earned if such proceeds had been invested at a rate equal to the yield on the Bonds, computed in accordance with Section 148(f)of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,as amended(the"Code"). 2. No rebate is payable at this time to the United States in connection with the Bonds under Section 148(f)of the Code. 3. No arbitrage rebate will be generated in the future under Section 148(t)of the Code,and no further computation of rebate will be required. We have not been engaged nor have we undertaken to verify the truth or accuracy of any information provided to us by the Issuer, and we express no opinion relating to such information. In addition,we express no opinion as to whether the investments allocated to gross proceeds of the Bonds were acquired and sold at fair market value. Very truly yours, Ar:/efrri_dije „151e,15,C.
