OPINION OF COUNSEL
to
CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
March 2, 2005
California Statewide Communities Development Authority
Sacramento, California
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association
Los Angeles, California
Re: Sale of VLF Receivable
Ladies & Gentlemen:
This Office acted 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
"VLF Receivable", as defined in and pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated March
2, 2005 (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 VLF Receivable to the Controller of the State of California (the "Disbursement
Instructions" and collectively with the Sale Agreement, the "Transaction 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.
I have examined and am familiar with those documents relating to the existence,
organization, and operation of the Seller, the Resolution, the Transaction Documents and such
certified proceedings, certifications of officers of the Seller and others, and such other
agreements, instruments and documents, and have satisfied myself as to such other matters, as I
deem necessary in order to render the following opinions.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Seller is a municipal corporation of the State of California, duly
organized and validly existing pursuant to city charter and the Constitution of the State of
California.
Taxable
Docssrl :795397.1 B1-1
2. The Seller has full power and authority to adopt the Resolution and to execute
and deliver the Transaction Documents.
3. The Seller has duly authorized and executed the Transaction Documents and,
assuming delivery, each Transaction 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.
4. The Resolution was duly adopted at a meeting of the Governing Body which
was called and held pursuant to law with all public notice required by law and at which a quorum
was present and acting when the Resolution was adopted.
5. The Resolution is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified,
supplemented or rescinded.
6. To the best of my 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 affecting the existence of the Seller or the titles of its
Governing Body members or officers to their respective offices, or seeking to restrain or to
enjoin the sale of the VLF Receivable or to direct the application of the proceeds of the sale
thereof, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Resolution, the
Transaction Documents or any other applicable agreements or any action of the Seller
contemplated by any of said documents, or in any way contesting the powers of the Seller or its
authority with respect to the Resolution or the Transaction Documents or any other applicable
agreement, or any action on the part of the Seller contemplated by any of said documents, or in
any way seeking to enjoin or restrain the Seller from selling the VLF Receivable or which if
determined adversely to the Seller would have a material and adverse effect upon the Seller's
ability to sell the VLF Receivable, nor to my knowledge is there any basis therefor.
7. Insofar as it would materially adversely affect the Seller's ability to enter into,
carry out and perform its obligations under any or all of the foregoing agreements, or
consummate the transactions contemplated by the same, the Seller is not in breach of or default
under any applicable constitutional provision, law or administrative regulation of the State or the
United States or any applicable judgment or decree or any loan agreement, indenture, bond, note,
resolution, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or to which it or any of its
property or assets is otherwise subject, and, to the best of my knowledge, no event has occurred
and is continuing which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a default or an event of default under any such instrument, and the adoption of the
Resolution and the execution and delivery by the Seller of the Transaction Documents, and
compliance with the provisions thereof, under the circumstances contemplated thereby, do not
and will not in any material respect conflict with or constitute on the part of the Seller a breach
of or default under any agreement or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which
it is bound or any existing law, regulation, court order or consent decree to which the Seller is
subject.
Taxable
DOCSSFI :795397.1 Bl -2
8. Prior to the sale of the VLF Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller was the
sole owner of the VLF Receivable, and has such right, title and interest as provided in the Act.
From and after the conveyance of the VLF Receivable by the Seller to Purchaser on the Closing
Date, the Seller shall have no interest in the VLF Receivable. Except as provided in the Sale
Agreement, the Seller has 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 VLF Receivable,
nor has the Seller created, or to my knowledge permitted the creation of, any Lien thereon. Prior
to the sale of the VLF Receivable to the Purchaser, the Seller held title to the VLF Receivable
free and clear of any Liens.
9. To the best of my knowledge, all approvals, consents, authorizations, elections
and orders of or filings or registrations with any governmental authority, board, agency or
commission having jurisdiction which would constitute a condition precedent to, or the absence
of which would materially adversely affect, the sale by the Seller of the VLF Receivable or the
performance by the Seller of its obligations under the Resolution and the Transaction Documents
and any other applicable agreements, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
10. The Disbursement Instructions are irrevocable by the Seller, and comply with
the requirements of Section 6588.5(c) of the California Government Code.
Each Credit Enhancer, the underwriters of the Notes and Transaction Counsel
may rely upon this legal opinion as if it were addressed to them.
