As to questions of fact <br /> material to our opinion we have assumed the authenticity of and relied upon the <br /> proceedings, affidavits and certificates furnished to us without undertaking to verify <br /> the same by independent investigation. From our examination of such proceedings, <br /> affidavits and certificates, and based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions in <br /> effect on the date hereof, it is our opinion that: <br /> 1. The Bonds are valid and binding general obligations of the City <br /> enforceable in accordance with their terms. <br /> 2. The principal of and interest on the Bonds are payable primarily <br /> from tax increment revenues generated from captured net tax capacity of taxable <br /> property within tax increment financing districts in the City, the collections of <br /> which the governing body of the City has estimated will produce amounts at least <br /> five percent in excess of the amounts needed to meet, when due, the principal and <br /> interest payments on the Bonds; but, if necessary for the payment of such principal <br /> and interest, ad valorem taxes are required by law to be levied on all taxable property <br /> in the City without limitation of rate or amount. <br /> 3. Interest on the Bonds (a) is not includable in gross income for <br /> federal income tax purposes or in taxable net income of individuals, estates or trusts <br /> I-1 <br />
