We have examined such certified proceedings and other papers as we deem necessary to render this opinion. We have not been engaged or undertaken to review the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the Official Statement or other offering material relating to the Bonds and we express no opinion relating thereto. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials furnished to us,without undertaking to verify such facts by independent investigation. Based upon the foregoing,we are of the opinion that,under existing law: 1. The Issuer is duly created and validly existing as a body corporate and politic and public instrumentality of the State of South Dakota with the corporate power to adopt and perform the Resolution and issue the Bonds. 2. Resolution has been duly adopted by the Issuer on _, 2013 and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable upon the Issuer. 3. The Resolution pledges the City's two percent tax on the gross receipts of all persons engaged in business within the jurisdiction of the city who are subject to the South Dakota Retail Occupational Sales and Service Tax, SDCL ch. 10-45(the "Sales Tax)in an amount sufficient to pay principal,premium and interest when due on the Bonds. 4. The Bonds have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and are valid and binding special obligations of the Issuer,payable solely from City's Sales Tax. 5. The interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations; it should be noted, however, that for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations as defined for federal income tax purposes,such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. The opinions set forth in the preceding sentence are subject to the condition that the Issuer comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended, that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds in order that interest thereon be,or continue to be, excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer has covenanted to comply with each such requirement. Failure to comply with certain of such requirements may cause the inclusion of interest on the Bonds in gross income for federal income tax purposes to be retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bonds. We express no opinion regarding other federal tax consequences arising with respect to the Bonds. 6. The Bonds are exempt from all taxation as property by the State of South Dakota, its subdivisions and municipalities and bear interest not includible in the gross income of the recipient for purposes of computing any tax imposed by the provisions of South Dakota law. We express no further opinions regarding other South Dakota tax consequences arising with regard to the Bonds. [7. The Bonds are qualified tax-exempt obligations within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3)(B)(i)(III)of the Code. The Bonds are eligible for purchase by financial institutions.] 17 8. The offering and sale of the Bonds are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Resolution is exempt from qualification under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. It is to be understood that the rights of the holders of the Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable and that their enforcement may be subject to the exercise of judicial discretion in accordance with general principles of equity and subject to regulatory requirements under the laws of the United States and of the State of South Dakota.
