Section 103 <strong>of</strong> the Internal Revenue Code <strong>of</strong> 1986 (the “Code”), except that no opinion is expressed as to the status <strong>of</strong><br />

interest on any Series 2010A Bond for any period that such Series 2010A Bond is held by a “substantial user” <strong>of</strong> the<br />

facilities financed or refinanced by the proceeds <strong>of</strong> the Series 2010A Bonds, or by a “related person” within the<br />

meaning <strong>of</strong> Section 147(a) <strong>of</strong> the Code. Interest on the Series 2010A Bonds is a specific preference item for purposes<br />

<strong>of</strong> the federal individual <strong>and</strong> corporate alternative minimum taxes. Interest on the Series 2010A Bonds is exempt from<br />

State <strong>of</strong> California personal income taxes. We express no opinion regarding other tax consequences related to the<br />
