Bond Counsel’s opinion assumes compliance by the Authority and the Corporation with all requirements of the Code that must be satisfied subsequent to the issuance of the 2012 Bonds in order that the interest thereon be, and continue to be, excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. Furthermore, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, the 2012 Bonds are exempt from personal property taxes in Pennsylvania and the interest on the 2012 Bonds is exempt from Pennsylvania corporate net income tax and personal income tax.
