The Finance Contract provides financing for the purchase by the City of Round Rock of certain Property as identified in the Finance Contract and provides that the Issuer shall finance the Property by making Payments as specified in the Public Property Finance Act Contract No.18-025. I have also examined other certificates and documents as I have deemed necessary and appropriate under the circumstances. Based upon the foregoing examination, I am of the opinion that: 1. The Issuer is a political subdivision of the State of Texas with the requisite power and authority to incur obligations, the interest on which is exempt from taxation by virtue of Section 103(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; 2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Finance Contract have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Issuer; and 3. The Finance Contract constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable in accordance with its terms. 00406921/ss2 Finance Contract Opinion Letter—Page 2 The opinion expressed above is solely for the benefit of the Issuer, BANA and/or its subsequent successors or assigns.
