Payments hereunder. Lessee reasonably believes that legally available funds in an amount sufficient to make all Rental Payments during the entire Lease Term can be obtained. Lessee further in-
tends to do all things lawfully within its power to obtain and maintain funds from which the Rental Payments may be made, including making provision for such payments to the extent necessary

haust all available reviews and appeals in the event such portion of the budget or appropriation request is not approved.

pose during Lessee's then current budget year. Should Lessee fail to budget, appropriate or otherwise make available funds to pay Rental Payments following the then current Original Term or
Renewal Term, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated at the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term. Lessee agrees to deliver notice to Lessor of such termination at least 90
days prior to the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term, but failure to give such notice shall not extend the term beyond such Original Term or Renewal Term. If this Agreement is
terminated in accordance with this Section, Lessee agrees to peaceably deliver the Equipment to Lessor at the location(s) to be specified by Lessor.
Section 3.04. Nonsubstitution. To the extent permitted by law, Lessee agrees that if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 3.03 Lessee will not purchase, lease or rent
equipment performing functions similar to those performed by the Equipment for a period of 90 days following the end of the then current Original Term or Renewal Term; provided this restriction
shall not be applicable in the event the Equipment shall be sold, re -leased or otherwise disposed of by Lessor and the amount received from such disposition, less all costs of such sale or disposition,
is sufficient to pay the then applicable Purchase Price. This Section shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.02. Rental Payments to Constitute a Current Expense of Lessee. Lessor and Lessee understand and intend that the obligation of Lessee to pay Rental Payments hereunder shall
constitute a current expense of Lessee and shall not in any way be construed to be a debt of Lessee in contravention of any applicable constitutional or statutory limitation or requirement concern-
ing the creation of indebtedness by Lessee, nor shall anything contained herein constitute a pledge of the general tax revenues, funds or moneys of Lessee. ,
Section 4.03. RENTAL PAYMENTS TO BE UNCONDITIONAL. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 3.03, THE OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE TO MAKE RENTAL PAYMENTS
AND TO PERFORM AND OBSERVE THE OTHER COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL IN ALL EVENTS

comply in all respect with all applicable laws, regulations and rulings of any legislative, executive, administrative or judicial body; provided that Lessee may contest in good faith the validity or ap-
plication of any such law, regulation or ruling in any reasonable manner that does not, in the opinion of Lessor, adversely affect the interest of Lessor in and to the Equipment or its interest or
rights under this Agreement.

Lessee shall either (a) complete such replacement, repair, restoration, modification or improvement and pay any costs thereof in excess of the amount of the Net Proceeds, or (b) purchase Lessor's
interest in the Equipment pursuant to Section 10.01. The amount of the Net Proceeds, if any, remaining after completing such repair, restoration, modification or improvement or after purchasing
Lessor's interest in the Equipment shall be retained by Lessee. If Lessee shall make any payments pursuant to this Section, Lessee shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from Lessor
nor shall Lessee be entitled to any diminution of the amounts payable under Article IV.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

FACSIMILE: (616) 474-66B2
PAID IN FU,I
We have acted as special tax counsel in connection with
a transaction involving an Equipment Lease/Purchase Agreement,
dated as of October 30, 1990 (the "Lease"), between Chrysler
Capital Public Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (the
"Lessor"), and City of Lubbock, Texas (the "Lessee"). Under the
Lease, the Lessee has the use of and an option to purchase
certain equipment on certain conditions upon payment of the
rentals and purchase price set forth therein.
We have reviewed an executed copy of the Lease and an
executed copy of the Escrow Agreement, dated as of October 30,
1990 (the "Escrow Agreement"), among the Lessor, the Lessee and
the escrow agent named therein and, in addition, we have reviewed
and considered the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), and the applicable regulations thereunder promulgated by
the United States Treasury Department.
In rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have
assumed without undertaking to investigate the same by
independent investigation or research that (a) the Lease has been
duly authorized and executed and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the parties thereto, and (b) the Lessee has fully
complied with and fulfilled and will continue to fully comply
with and fulfill all covenants and requirements of the Lease and
the Escrow Agreement.
Reference is made to the opinion of Donald G. Vandiver,
Counsel for the Lessee, that the Lease has been duly authorized
and delivered by the Lessee and is a valid and binding obligation
of the Lessee enforceable in accordance with its terms.
Based upon the foregoing review and assumptions, it is
our opinion that, under existing law and current rulings and
official interpretations of law by the United States Internal
Revenue Service, the interest components of the rental payments
under the Lease are not includable in gross income for federal
Chrysler Capital Public Finance Corp.

income tax purposes. The interest components of the rental
payments are not an item of tax preference for purposes of the
individual or corporate alternative minimum tax, except that the
interest components of the rental payments may be subject
indirectly to a corporate alternative minimum tax as pre-tax book
income (adjusted current earnings for taxable years beginning
after December 31, 1989). In addition, the interest components
of the rental payments received by certain foreign corporations
may be subject to the branch profits tax under the Code. The
interest components of the rental payments also may be subject to
a tax based on the modified alternative minimum taxable income of
a corporation under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act of 1986. The Lessee has not designated the Lease as a
"qualified tax-exempt obligation" under Section 265 of the Code
relating to interest deductions for banks and thrift
institutions.
Very truly yours,
