regulatory and accounting purposes.
f;3
(h) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall not sell, transfer,

any portion of the Proposition IA Receivable, nor shall the Seller create, or to the knowledge of
the Seller permit the creation of, any Lien thereon.

IA Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 25.5

liabilities to the extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of, or
was imposed upon any such Person by the Seller's breach of any of its covenants contained

herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Seller shall have no liability for the
payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds issued by the Purchaser.

Re: Sale of Proposition IA Receivable
Ladies & Gentlemen:
[I have his Office QPacted as counsel for the City of San Rafael (the "Seller")
in connection with the adoption of that certain resolution (the "Resolution") of the City Council
of the Seller (the "Governing Body") pursuant to which the Seller authorized the sale to the
California Statewide Communities Development Authority (the "Purchaser") of the Seller's
"Proposition IA Receivable", as defined in and pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement
dated as of November 1, 2009 (the "Sale Agreement") between the Seller and the Purchaser. In
connection with these transactions, the Seller has issued certain Irrevocable Instructions For
Disbursement of the Seller's Proposition IA Receivable to the Controller of the State of
California (the "Disbursement Instructions") and a Bill of Sale and Bringdown Certificate of the
Seller (the "Bill of Sale" and, collectively with the Sale Agreement and the Disbursement
Instructions, the "Seller Documents").
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sale Agreement. [16Q have
examined and are familiar with the Seller Documents and with those documents relating to the
existence, organization, and operation of the Seller, the adoption of the Resolution, and the
execution of the Seller Documents, and have satisfied ourselves as to such other matters as [I we
deem necessary in order to render the following opinions. As to paragraphs numbered 3 and 4
below, [I/have relied as to factual matters on the representations and warranties of the Seller
contained in the Sale Agreement.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set
forth herein, [k9e are of the opinion that:
I . The Seller is a local agency, within the meaning of Section 6585(f) of the
California Government Code. The Governing Body is the governing body of the Seller.
2. The Resolution was duly adopted at a meeting of the Governing Body,
which was called and held pursuant to law and with all public notice required by law, and at
which a quorum was present and acting throughout, and the Resolution is in full force and effect
and has not been modified, amended or rescinded since the date of its adoption.
3. To the best of [my/O knowledge, no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation, at law or in equity, before or by any court, public board or body, is pending or
threatened in any way against the Seller (i) affecting the existence of the Seller or the titles of its
Governing Body members or officers to their respective offices; (ii) seeking to restrain or to
enjoin the sale of the Proposition IA Receivable or to direct the application of the proceeds of
the sale thereof, or materially adversely affecting the sale of the Proposition IA Receivable; (iii)
in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Resolution, Seller
Documents or any other applicable agreements or any action of the Seller contemplated by any
of said documents; or (iv) in any way contesting the powers of the Seller or its authority with
respect to the Resolution or the Seller Documents or any other applicable agreement, or any
action on the part of the Seller contemplated by any of said documents.
4. To the best of [my ur knowledge, prior to the sale of the Proposition IA
Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller had not sold, transferred, assigned, set over or otherwise
conveyed any right, title or interest of any kind whatsoever in all or any portion of the Seller's
Proposition IA Receivable, nor had the Seller created, or permitted the creation of, any Lien
thereon.
5. The Seller has duly authorized and executed the Seller Documents and,
assuming the due authorization execution and delivery of the Sale Agreement by the Purchaser,
each Seller Document will be legal, valid and binding against the Seller and enforceable against
the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights, and the application of equitable principles and the exercise of judicial discretion
in appropriate areas.
No opinion is expressed concerning the obligation or ability of the State of
California to make any payment of the Proposition IA Receivable pursuant to Section 100.06 of
the Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 25.5 of Article XIII of the California Constitution,
nor is any opinion expressed with respect to the ability of the State to enact any change in the
law applicable to the Seller Documents (including, without limitation, Section 100.06 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code or Section 6588.6 of the Government Code). Furthermore, [ we
express no opinion as to the value of the Proposition IA Receivable or as to any lega or
equitable remedies that may be available to any person should the Proposition IA Receivable
have little or no value. No opinion is expressed with respect to the sale of Bonds by the
Purchaser.
B1-2
The legal opinion set forth herein is intended for the information solely of the
addressees hereof and for the purposes contemplated by the Sale Agreement. The addressees
may not rely on it in connection with any transactions other than those described herein, and it is

without [my o prior written consent. In addition to the addressees hereof, each Credit
Enhancer and the unde ryters of the Bonds may rely upon this legal opinion as if it were
