While interest on the Tax Exempt Bonds will not constitute a preference item for purposes of computation of the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain individuals and corporations, interest on the Tax Exempt Bonds will be included in “adjusted current earnings” of corporate holders of the Tax Exempt Bonds and therefore will be taken into account in computing the alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations.

In the opinion of Bond Counsel, interest on the Bonds and any profit made on the sale thereof are exempt from Massachusetts personal income taxes, and the Bonds are exempt from Massachusetts personal property taxes.
