Finance Director, City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska, as Bond Registrar By ~a\h 2 ~ o Authoriz d Signer Page 2 of 3 November 3, 2016 City and Borough of Juneau Juneau, Alaska Alaska Municipal Bond Bank Juneau, Alaska Re: City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska General Obligation Bond, 2016 -$2,635,000 Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as bond counsel to the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska (the "City and Borough"), and have examined a certified transcript of the proceedings taken in the matter of the issuance by the City and Borough of its General Obligation Bond, 2016, dated November 3, 2016, in the total principal amount of $2,635,000 (the "Bond"), The Bond is issued pursuant to Ordinance Serial No. 2012-44 of the City and Borough passed on December 17, 2012, and Resolution No. 2773 passed on October 17, 2016 (together, the "Bond Ordinance"). As authorized by the Bond Ordinance, the City and Borough has entered into a loan agreement dated October 18, 2016 (the "Loan Agreement") with the Alaska Municipal Bond Bank (the "Bond Bank") for the sale of the Bond to the Bond Bank, Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this opinion shall have the meanings given such terms in the Bond Ordinance, The Bond is not subject to prepayment. As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on representations of the City and Borough contained in the Bond Ordinance and Loan Agreement and in the certified proceedings and other certifications of public officials and others furnished to us without undertaking to verity the same by independent investigation. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that, under existing law: 1, The Bond has been legally issued and constitutes a valid and binding general obligation of the City and Borough, except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the holders and owners of the Bond may be limited by laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise ofjudicial discretion, 2. Both principal of and interest on the Bond are payable out of annual levies of aciva/oram taxes lobe made upon all of the taxable property within the City and Borough without limitation as to rate or amount and in amounts which, together with other available funds, will be sufficient to pay such principal and interest as the same shall become due, The City and Borough is duly organized and legally existing under the laws of the State of Alaska, 4, The Bond has been duly authorized and executed by the City and Borough and is issued in full compliance with the provisions of the Constitution and laws of the State of Alaska and the legislation of City and Borough relating thereto, 5. The Loan Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, delivered by, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of the Loan Agreement by the Bond Bank) constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the City and Borough, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except for provisions therein that purport to obligate the City and Borough to indemnity the Bond Bank and except to the extent that the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Bond Bank may be subject to the laws of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors, by the application of equitable principles and the exercise ofjudicial discretion, 6. Interest on the Bond is excludable 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; however, interest on the Bond is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for the purpose of computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations. The opinion set forth in the preceding sentence is subject to the condition that the City and Borough comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bond in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The City and Borough has covenanted to comply with all applicable requirements. Failure to comply with certain of such covenants may cause interest on the Bond to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactively to the date of issuance of the Bond, 7. Interest on the Bond is not included in taxable income for purposes of the Alaska income tax imposed on corporations. Interest on the Bond may be indirectly subject to the Alaska alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations to the extent that interest on the Bond is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, The City and Borough has not designated the Bond as a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" under Section 265(b)(3) of the Code. We express no opinion regarding any other federal, state or local tax consequences arising with respect to ownership of the Bond. We have not been engaged nor have we undertaken to review the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of the official statement or other offering material related to the Bond Bank's General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2016 Series Three and General Obligation and Refunding Bonds, 2016 Series Four (except to the extent, if any, stated is the official statement), and we express no opinion relating thereto, This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update, revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.
