The designation and establishment of the Fund shall not be construed to requi re the establishment, of any completely independent, self-balancing fund as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of, certain moneys for certain purposes and to establish certain priori ties for the application of such moneys as herein provided. The money required to be accounted for -6- 7437M in the Fund may be commingled with other moneys of the Issuer in a single bank account, and may be invested along with other moneys of the Issuer in a common investment pool, provided that adequate accounting records are maintained to reflect and control the restricted allocation of the moneys on deposit in the Fund.

IN GENERAL. 1.1. The Bond is being issued pursuant to and under Chapter 166, Florida Statutes, Article VIII, Section 2, Florida Constitution, and other. applicable provisions of law, and Resolution No. 95-22 adopted by the Issuer on March 15, 1995 (the "Bond Resolution"), in order to provide funds to undertake certain improvements to the Issuer's recreational facilities (the "Project"). 1.2. The Bond represents a draw...down loan from NationsBank of Fll'ricia " N.A. Pursuant to the Bond and the Bond Resolution, amountl~ of princ:ipal may be periodically advanced to the Issuer until Mar~h ~, 1998. As of the date hereof, the Issuer has drawn the amount of $2,010,385.00 on the Bond~ 1.3. I have reviewed and am familiar with the Bond Resolution and all other proceedings taken preliminary to and in connection with the i5s~ance of the Bond. I am an officer of the Issuer who is duly charged, with others, with the responsibility of issuing the Bond. 1.4. No obligations other than the Bond are being issued wi thin 15 days of the Bond pursuant to a same plan of financing that are reasonably expected to be paid from substantially the same source of funds as the Bond. 1.5. The facts, estimates, and circumstances set forth hereil) are representations made by the Issuer, and to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, such facts, estimates, and circumstances are true, correct, and complete as of the date hereof, and the Issuer is not aware of any facts or circumstances that, would ,cause it to question the ISccuracy of the representations made herein; the expectations as to future events, are in all respects reasonable; and there are no other facts, estimates, or circumstances that would materially change such expectations. On the basis of such facts, estimates, and circumstances, it is not expected that the proceeds of the Bond will be used in a manner that would cause the Bond to be an arbitrage bond under Section 148 of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder. II. SOURCE AND DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS. 2.1. Amounts drawn on the Bond will be used to pay the cost of the Project and will not be invested. 2.2. Pursuant to the Bond Resolution the Issuer is obligated to use Franchise Fees and Half-cent Sales Tax to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bond.

March 20, 1995 City of Parkland, Florida NationsBank of Florida, N.A. RE: $6,000,000, CITY OF PARKLAND, FLORIDA PROMISSORY NOTE Ladies and Gentlemen: We have acted as bond counsel in connection with the issuance and sale by City of Parkland, Florida (the "Issuer") of its not to exceed $6,000,000 aggregate principal amount Promissory Note, dated March 20, 1995 (the "Bond"). The Bond is issued pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Florida, particularly Chapter 166, Florida Statutes and Article VIII, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution, and Resolution No. 95-22 adopted by the Issuer March 15, 1995 (the "Resolution"). All terms used herein in capitalized form and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Resolution. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have examined a certified copy of the Resolution and are relying on the representations, covenants and agreements of the Issuer contained therein, including, without limitation, the covenants of the Issuer contained in the Resolution to comply wi th the applicable requirements contained in Section 103 and Part IV of Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and all temporary, proposed or permanent implementing regulations promulgated thereunder or applicable thereto (the "Code") that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the Bond to the extent necessary to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bond from gross income for federal income tax purposes. 7473M City of Parkland NationsBank of Florida, N.A. March 20, 1995 Page 2 As to questions of fact material to our oplnlon we have relied upon representations of the Issuer contained in the Resolution and upon other certifications, agreements, documents, and opinions of public officials and other officers and representatives of the various parties participating in this transaction, furnished to us, without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on all documents and instruments, the authenticity of documents submitted as originals and the 'coriformity to originals of documents submitted as copies. We have not been engaged to or undertaken to review the accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of any disclosure materials relating to the Bond, and we express no opinion relating thereto herein. This opinion shall not be deemed or treated as an offering circula,r, prospectus or official statement, and is not intended in any way to be a disclosure document used in connection with the sale or delivery of the Bond. We have not been engaged to and therefore express no opinion as to the compliance by the Issuer with any federal or state statute, regulation or ruling with respect to the sale or distribution of the Bond. The opinions set forth below are expressly limited to, and we opine only with respect to, the laws of the State of Florida and the federal income tax laws of the United States of America. Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion as of the date hereof and under existing law, as follows: 1. The Resolution, including the lien on and pledge of the Franchise Fees and Half-cent Sales Tax therein, and the Loan Agreement constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable in accordance with their terms. 2. The Bond has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and is a valid and binding special obligation of the Issuer, payable solely from the sources provided therefor in the Resolution. 3. The interest on the Bond is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference described in Section 57 of the Code for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations. It is to be noted that with respect to certain corporations such interest may be required to be taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum taxable income of such 7473M '- City of Parkland NationsBank of Florida, N.A. March 20, 1995 Page 3 corporations. The opinions expressed in the first sentence of this paragraph are conditioned upon continuing compliance by the Issuer with various covenants contained in the Resolution, including, without limitation, its covenant to comply wi th applicable requirements of the Code necessary in order to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bond from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Failure by the Issuer to comply with such requirements could cause the interest on the Bond to be includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes retroactive to the date of issuance of the Bond. Other provisions of the Code may give rise to collateral federal income tax consequences (which may be adverse) to particular owners. This opinion is limited to matters expressly addressed above and no opinion is expressed herein regarding other federal tax consequences that may arise due to ownership of the Bond. 4. The Bond is exempt from all present intangible personal property taxes imposed by the State of Florida. 5. The Bond is a "qualified tax-exempt obligation" as defined in Section 265(b)(3)(B)(i) of the Code. Our opinions expressed herein are predicated upon present laws and interpretations thereof. We assume no affirmative obligation with respect to any change of circumstances or law (including laws that may result from legislation pending before Congress) that may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bond after the date hereof. It is to be understood that the rights of owners of the Bond and the enforceability of the Bond and the Resolution may be subject to the provisions of the bankruptcy laws of the United States of America and to other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights, heretofore or hereinafter enacted, to the extent constitutionally applicable, and that their enforcement may also be subject to equitable principles that may affect remedies or other equitable relief, or to the exercise of judicial discretion in appropriate cases. Very truly yours, 7473M
