In connection therewith, we have examined the Constitution and the laws of the State of California, Ordinance No. 3815, as amended, of the City ("Ordinance No. 3815"), a certified record of the proceedings of the City, the Indenture dated as of June 1, 1985, by and between the City and Seattle-First National Bank (the "Trustee") (the "Indenture") and such other information and documents as we consider necessary to render this opinion. The Bonds were issued pursuant to Ordinance No. 3815, as permitted by Chapter 7 of Part 5 of Division 31 of the Health and Safety Code of the State of California (the "Act"), and Resolution No. 85-194 adopted by the City on May 20, 1985. As of the date of issuance of the Bonds, Ordinance No. 3815 required that, for the purposes of appointing a trustee to perform the services required for municipal financings of the City, any trustee so appointed shall be either a trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company and located within the State of California. Seattle-First National Bank, whose principal corporate trust office is located in Seattle, Washington, is an out-of-state trustee and on the date of issuance of the Bonds was unable to act as sole trustee under the EXtilBfT A Page 2 Indenture for the Bondholders. Trust Services of America, Inc., a California corporation (UTSA"), was appointed as Co-Trustee under the Indenture and it was intended by the various Bond issue participants that TSA would function as an interim trustee for the Bondholders until such time as Ordinance No. 3815 was amended to permit trust companies or banks having powers of a trust company outside the State of California to act as a trustee for the purposes < of any municipal financings of the City under Ordinance No. 3815. On August 18, 1986, the Mayor and Common Council of the City adopted Ordinance MC-536 amending Ordinance No. 3815 which-, under certain conditions, allows the appointment of out-of-state trustees for financings undertaken pursuant to said Ordinance No. 3815. Section 712 of the Indenture provides for the resignation of TSA as the Co-Trustee upon (i) the delivery of an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel admitted to legal practice in the State of California to the effect that such resignation will not affect the validity of the Bonds and (ii) the prior written consent of Seattle-First National Bank as the Trustee. In accordance. with said Section 712 of the Indenture, TSA has requested to resign from its appointment as Co-Trustee under the Indenture and the duties and responsibilities set forth thereunder, and the Trustee has consented to such resignation of the Co-Trustee. The Trus tee has reques ted that it be appointed and approved as sole trus tee for the Bondholders with such appointment to be effective upon the resignation of the Co-Trustee subject to the prior written approval by the City pursuant to a duly adopted Resolution. We are of the opinion that, based upon the adoption of Ordinance No. MC-536 as set forth above, the resignation of TSA as the Co-Trus tee will not affect the validity of the Bonds upon the effective date of a resolution of the City approving such resignation of TSA and appointment of Seattle-First National Bank as the Trustee for the Bondholders and assuming compliance with all applicable provisions of the adopted Policy Guidelines on Public and Negotiated Bond Sale Procedures for the City of San Bernardino.
