the Bonds for federal income tax purpose, provided that such
interest may be included in the calculation for certain taxes,
including the corporate alternative minimum tax and the

Bond Counsel's opinion to change prior to delivery of the Bonds

The Bonds have been designated "qualified tax-exempt
obligations pursuant to Section 265{b){3) of the Internal

financial institutions that are holders o£ the Bonds to deduct
for federal income tax purposes a portion of such institution's
interest expense that is allocable to the Bonds.

If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of
municipal bond insurance or commitment therefor at the option
of the bidder, any purchase of such insurance or commitment
therefor shall be at the sale option and expense of the bidder
and any increased costs shall be paid by such bidder. Any
failure of the Bonds to be so insured or of any such policy of
insurance to be issued shall not in any way relieve the
purchaser of his contractual obligations arising from the
acceptance of his proposal to purchase the Bonds.

litigation is pending affecting the issuance and sale of the
Bonds. The District will also deliver an arbitrage certificate
