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.
The Governing Body on behalf of the City has designated the Bonds as "qualified tax exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The final approving opinion of Bond Counsel, relating to the validity and tax exemption of the Bonds, together with a non-litigation certificate of the City dated the date of delivery of the Bonds, and a transcript of the proceedings relating to the Bonds will be delivered to the successful bidder without charge.  
It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be secured by the City and printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to secure or print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with its agreement to purchase the Bonds.  All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid for by the City; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be paid for by the successful bidder.
The successful bidder will be given at least seven (7) business days advanced notice of the proposed date of delivery of the Bonds when that date has been tentatively determined.  It is expected that the Bonds will be delivered in New York, New York and payment therefor shall be made in federal or other immediately available funds.
The successful bidder is required to submit to the City not less than seventy-two (72) hours prior to closing a certification to the effect that (a) all of the Bonds have been the subject of a bona fide initial offering to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers or similar pers
