In the opinion of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, PC ("Bond Counsel"), assuming compliance by the City with certain tax covenants, under existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes.  Furthermore, interest on the Bonds is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; however, interest on the Bonds is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations.  Bond Counsel will express no other opinion regarding other federal tax consequences resulting from the ownership, receipt or accrual of interest on or disposition of the Bonds.  In addition, Bond Counsel is further of the opinion that under and pursuant to the Act, the Bonds and interest thereon are exempt from all income taxes imposed by the State of Mississippi.
