The Bonds are issued pursuant to the provisions of the Local Finance Law, constituting Chapter 33-a of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York, various bond resolutions duly adopted by the Town Board on their respective dates, authorizing the issuance of serial bonds of the Town to finance various purposes in and for the Town and the Certificate of Determination executed by the Supervisor as of March 27, 2007, determining the terns, form and details of issuance of said $14,650,000 serial bonds and providing for their public sale. The Bonds are dated April 15, 2007, mature on April 15 in the principal amounts in each of the following years, and bear interest at the respective rates per annum payable October 15, 2007 and semiannually thereafter on April 15 and October 15 in each year until maturity, as set forth below: Year of Principal Interest Year of Principal Interest Maturity Amount Rate Maturity Amount Rate 2008 $700,000 4.00% 2020 $675,000 4.25% 2009 725,000 4-1/8 2021 675,000 4.25 2010 575,000 4-1/8 2022 675,000 4.25 2011 575,000 4.25 2023 725,000 4.25 2012 600,000 4.25 2024 725,000 4.25 2013 625,000 4.25 2025 725,000 4.25 2014 625,000 4.25 2026 550,000 4.25 2015 625,000 4.25 2027 550,000 4.25 2016 625,000 4.25 2028 550,000 4.25 2017 675,000 4.25 2029 550,000 4.25 2018 675,000 4.25 2030 550,000 4.25 2019 675,000 4.25 The Bonds maturing on or before April 15, 2017 will not be subject to redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after April 15, 2018 will be subject to redemption 9.- yE ~ W ~Q a I kiwi prior to maturity, at the option of the '1Qwn, on April 15, 2017 and thereafter, on any date, in whole or in part, at par, and subject to otice and other conditions as stated in the Bonds. The Bonds are issued only in fully registered form without interest coupons, in the name of Cede & Co., as registered owner and nominee for The Depository Trust Company, an automated depository for securities and clearinghouse for securities transactions which will maintain a book-entry system for recording the ownership interests in the Bonds. Only one Bond will be initially issued for each maturity in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity. Purchases of ownership interests in the Bonds will be made in book-entry form in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. In our opinion, said Bonds are valid and legally binding general obligations of the Town for which the Town has validly pledged its faith and credit and, unless paid from other sources, all the taxable real property within the Town is subject to the levy of ad valorem real estate taxes to pay the Bonds and interest thereon without limitation of rate or amount. The enforceability of rights or remedies with respect to such Bonds may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors' rights or remedies heretofore or hereafter enacted. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), establishes certain requirements that must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds in order that interest on the Bonds be and remain excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. The Supervisor of the Town, in executing the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate, has certified to the effect that the Town will comply with the provisions and procedures set forth therein and that it will do and perform all acts and things necessary or desirable to assure that interest paid on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. We have examined such Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate of the Town delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, and in our opinion, such certificate contains provisions and procedures under which such requirements can be met. In our opinion, under existing statutes and court decisions, (i) interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, and (ii) interest on the Bonds is not treated as a preference item in calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations under the Code; such interest, however, is included in the adjusted current earnings of certain corporations for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. In rendering the opinion in this paragraph, we have (i) relied on the representations, certifications of fact, and statements of reasonable expectations made by the Town in the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate and others in connection with the Bonds, and (ii) assumed compliance by the Town with certain provisions and procedures set forth in the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate relating to compliance with applicable requirements of the Code to assure the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. Further, in our opinion, under existing statutes, interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes of New York State and its political subdivisions, including The City of New York. z •s.. z m¢ wa III 0¢ oa - - a Except as stated abQv@, e,express no opinion regarding any other federal or state tax consequences with respect to the Bonds. We render our opinion under existing statutes and court decisions as of the issue date, and we assume no obligation to update our opinion after the issue date to reflect any future action, fact or circumstance, or change in law or interpretation, or otherwise. We express no opinion on the effect of any action hereafter taken or not taken in reliance upon an opinion of other counsel on the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds, or on the exemption from state and local tax law of interest 1 on the Bonds. Other than such record of proceedings, we have not been requested to examine or review and have not examined or reviewed the accuracy or sufficiency of the Official Statement, or any additional proceedings, reports, correspondence, financial statements or other documents, containing financial or other information relative to the Town which have been or may hereafter be furnished or disclosed to purchasers of said Bonds, and we express no opinion with respect to any such financial or other information or the accuracy or sufficiency thereof. We have examined the executed first numbered Bond of said issue and, in our opinion, the form of said Bond and its execution are regular and proper. Very truly yours, i i.

In the event that (a) DTC determines • to discontinue providing its service with respect to the Bonds by giving notice to the Town and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law, and the Town fails to appoint a successor securities depository for the Bonds, or (b) the Town determines to discontinue the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository), then bond certificates shall be delivered to the beneficial owners upon registration of the Bonds held in the beneficial owners' names. After such registration the beneficial owners shall become the registered owners of the Bonds. In such event, the Supervisor of the Town shall execute a Supplemental Certificate of Determination which will set forth the terms, form and details of issuance of such bond certificates. 8. Fiscal Agent. The Town Clerk is hereby appointed as Fiscal Agent for the Bonds pursuant to, and to act in accordance with, applicable provisions of the Local Finance Law, constituting Chapter 33-a of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York.

Upon transfer of any such Bond, the Town shall issue in the name of the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity as the surrendered Bond.

Regulations With Respect to Exchanges and Transfers. In all cases in which the privilege of exchanging or transferring Bonds is exercised, the Town shall execute and the Fiscal Agent shall deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof. All Bonds surrendered in any such exchanges or transfers shall forthwith be cancelled by the Fiscal Agent. For every such exchange or transfer of Bonds, the Town or the Fiscal Agent may make a charge • sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other govemmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, and may charge a sum sufficient to pay the cost of preparing each new Bond issued upon such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer. The Town shall not be obliged to make any such exchange or transfer of Bonds between the last day of the month preceding an interest payment date and such interest payment date. • 12. Sale of Bonds.

Each proposal must be enclosed in a scaled envelope and should be marked on the outside "Proposal for Bonds" and be addressed as follows to the Sale Officer, viz.: Hon. Scott A. Russell, Supervisor, Town of Southold, New York, c/o Munistat Services, Inc., 12 Roosevelt Avenue, Port Jefferson Station, New York. As a condition precedent to the consideration of his proposal, a good faith deposit (the "Deposit") in the form of a certified or cashier's check or a financial surety bond in the amount of $293,000.00 payable to the order of the Town of Southold is required for each bid to be considered. If a check is used, it must be drawn upon an incorporated bank or trust company to the order of "Town of Southold, New York" and must accompany the bid. If a surety bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in the State of New York, the claims paying ability of which is rated in the highest rating category by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, and such bond must be submitted to the Town or its Financial Advisor prior to the opening of the bids. The financial surety bond must identify each bidder whose deposit is guaranteed by such financial surety bond. If the bonds are to be awarded to a bidder utilizing a financial surety bond, then the purchaser is required to submit its Deposit to the Town in the form of a certified or cashier's check, or a wire transfer in such amount, as instructed by the Town or its Financial Advisor, not later than 3:00 o'clock P.M. (Prevailing Time) on the next business day following the award. If such deposit is not received by that time, the financial surety bond may be drawn by the Town to satisfy the Deposit requirement. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. The Bonds will be awarded and sold to the bidder complying with the terms of sale and offering to purchase the Bonds at the lowest net interest cost, and if two or more such bidders offer the same lowest net interest cost, then to one of said bidders selected by the Sale Officer by lot from among all said bidders. The successful bidder must also pay an amount equal • to the interest on the Bonds, if any, accrued to the date of payment of the purchase price. No interest will be allowed on the good faith deposit. When the successful bidder has been ascertained, the Sale Officer will promptly return all deposits made to the persons making the same, except the deposit made by such bidder. Award of the Bonds to the successful bidder, or rejection of all bids, is expected to be made promptly after opening of the bids, but the successful bidder may not withdraw his proposal until after 1:30 o'clock P.M. (Prevailing Time) of the day of such bid-opening and then only if such award has not been made prior to the withdrawal. The successful bidder will be promptly notified of the award to him, and if he refuses or neglects to pay the agreed price for the Bonds less the amount deposited by him, the amount deposited by him shall be forfeited to and retained by the Town as liquidated damages for such neglect or refusal. The right is reserved to reject all bids and any bid not complying with the terms of • this notice will be rejected. If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment therefor at the option of a bidder, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the issuance of any such commitment therefor shall be at the sole option and expense of such bidder and any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting by reason of the same, unless otherwise paid, shall be paid by such bidder. Any failure of the Bonds to be so insured or of any such policy of insurance to be issued, shall not constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the purchaser of the Bonds to accept delivery of and pay for said Bonds in accordance with the terms hereof. A portion of the proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $4,515,000, together with $1,895,000 in available funds, will be used to redeem outstanding bond anticipation notes. The balance of the proceeds of the Bonds, in the amount of $10,135,000 will be used to provide original funds for various purposes in and for the Town. The Bonds are general obligations of the Town. There is no limitation, either as to rate or amount, upon ad valorem taxes upon taxable real property in the Town which may be required to pay the Bonds and the interest thereon. The State Constitution requires the Town to pledge its faith and credit for the payment of the principal of the Bonds and the interest thereon and to make annual appropriations for the amounts required for the payment of such interest and the redemption of the Bonds. The State Constitution also provides that if at any time the appropriating authorities fail to make the required appropriations for the annual debt service on the Bonds and certain other obligations of the Town, a sufficient sum shall be set apart from the first revenues thereafter received and shall be applied for such purposes, and also that the fiscal officer of the Town may be required to set apart and apply such revenues as aforesaid at the suit of any holder of such obligations. The population of the Town is 20,599 according to the 2000 U.S. Census. The debt statement to be filed pursuant to Section 109.00 of the Local Finance Law in connection with the sale of the Bonds, prepared as of March 27, 2007, shows the average full valuation of real property subject to taxation by the Town to be $8,116,178,296, its debt limit to be • $568,132,480, and its total net indebtedness (inclusive of the Bonds) to be $25,646,000. The indebtedness to be evidenced by the sale of the Bonds will increase the total net indebtedness of the Town by $10,135,000. The Bonds will be delivered to DTC and shall be paid for in Federal Funds on or about April 19, 2007, at such place in New York City, and on such business day and at such hour, as the Sale Officer shall fix on three business days' notice to the successful bidder, or at such other place and time as may be agreed upon with the successful bidder. The deposit of the Bonds with DTC under a book-entry system requires the assignment of CUSIP numbers prior to delivery. It shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder to obtain CUSIP numbers for the Bonds prior to delivery and the Town will not be responsible for any delay occasioned by the inability to deposit the Bonds with DTC due to the failure of the successful bidder to obtain such numbers and to supply them to the Town in a timely manner. All expenses in relation to the printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid for by the Town; provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of said numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the successful bidder. The successful bidder will be furnished without cost with the approving opinion of the law firm of Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP, New York, New York to the effect that the Bonds are valid and legally binding general obligations of the Town for which the Town has validly pledged its faith and credit and, unless paid from other sources, all the taxable real property within the Town is subject to the levy of ad valorem real estate taxes to pay the Bonds and interest thereon without limitation of rate or amount. Said opinion shall also contain further statements to the effect that (a) the enforceability of rights or remedies with respect to such Bonds may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws affecting creditors' rights or remedies heretofore or hereafter enacted, and (b) said law firm has not been requested to examine or review and has not examined or reviewed the accuracy or sufficiency, of the Official Statement, or any additional proceedings, reports, correspondence, financial statements or other documents, containing financial or other information relative to the Town which have been or may be furnished or disclosed to purchasers of the Bonds, and expresses no opinion with respect to such financial statements or other information or the accuracy or sufficiency thereof. The successful bidder may at his option refuse to accept the Bonds if prior to their delivery the certificate referred to in the following paragraph in form and tenor satisfactory to Bond Counsel is not delivered or if any income tax law of the United States of America is hereafter enacted which shall provide that the interest thereon is taxable, or shall be taxable at a future date, for federal income tax purposes, and in such case the deposit made by him will be returned and he will be relieved of his contractual obligations arising from the acceptance of his proposal. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), establishes certain requirements that must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds in order that interest on the Bonds be and remain excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. As part of the Town's contractual obligation arising from its acceptance of the successful bidder's proposal, the Town will fumish the successful bidder concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds with its Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate, which will contain provisions and procedures relating to compliance with the requirements of the Code and a certification to the effect that the Town will comply with the provisions and procedures set forth therein and that it • will do and perform all acts and things necessary or desirable to assure that interest paid on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. Under the Code, interest on the Bonds is to be taken into account in the computation of certain taxes that may be imposed with respect to corporations, including without limitation, the alternative minimum tax and the foreign branch profits tax. In addition under the Code, an individual who owns the Bonds may be required to include in gross income a portion of his or her Social Security or railroad retirement payments and interest on the Bonds will be included as disqualified income when computing the earned income credit. Bondholders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the computation of alternative minimum tax or foreign branch profits tax liability, the earned income credit, or the inclusion of Social Security or other retirement payments in gross income. The opinion of Bond Counsel shall also contain further statements to the effect • that, under existing statutes and court decisions and assuming continuing compliance with the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate, (i) interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code and (ii) interest on the Bonds is not treated as a preference item in calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations under the Code; such interest, however, is included in the adjusted current earnings of certain corporations for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. In rendering its opinion, Bond Counsel shall rely on certain representations, certifications of fact, and statements of reasonable expectations made by the Town in connection with the Bonds, and shall assume compliance by the Town with certain ongoing certifications in the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate to comply with applicable requirements of the Code to assure the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. Further, such opinion shall state that, under existing statutes, interest on the Bonds is exempt from New York State and New York City personal income taxes. Each successful bidder also must submit to the Town a certificate (the "Reoffering Price Certificate"), satisfactory to Bond Counsel, prior to the delivery of the Bonds, which states that: (a)(i) on the date of award, such successful bidder made a bona fide public offering of all Bonds of all maturities at initial offering prices corresponding to the prices or yields indicated in the information furnished in connection with the successful bid, and (ii) as of such date, the first price at which an amount equal to at least ten percent of each maturity of the Bonds was sold to the public was a price not higher or a yield not lower than indicated in the information furnished with the successful bid (the "first price rule"), with the exception of those maturities, if any, identified in such certificate, as to which such certificate shall explain the reasons why the first price rule was not satisfied, OR (b) such successful bidder has purchased the Bonds for its own account and not with a view to distribution or resale and not in the capacity of a bond house, broker or other intermediary, and the price or prices at which such purchase was made. • For the purposes of the Reoffering Price Certificate, the "public" does not include bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters or wholesalers. In making such representations, the successful bidder must reflect the effect on the offering prices of any "derivative products" (e.g., a tender option) used by the bidder in connection with the initial sale of any of the Bonds. The Bonds will not be designated by the Town as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" pursuant to the provisions of Section 265 of the Code. The Official Statement is in a form "deemed final" by the Town for the purposes of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-12 but may be modified or supplemented as noted below. In order to assist bidders in complying with Rule 15c2-12 and as part of the Town's contractual obligation arising from its acceptance of the successful bidder's proposal, at the time of the delivery of the Bonds the Town will provide an executed copy of its "Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure." Said Undertaking will constitute a written agreement or • contract of the Town for the benefit of holders of and owners of beneficial interests in the Bonds, to provide to (i) each nationally recognized municipal securities information repository, or to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board, and (ii) to the New York State Information Depository, if created, the annual financial information and notice of the occurrence of certain material events, as enumerated in said Rule 15c2-12. The Town will provide a reasonable number of Official Statements to the successful bidder within five (5) business days following receipt of a written request therefor made to the Town and its financial advisor. Such request may specify the applicable (a) offering price(s), (b) selling compensation, (c) rating(s), (d) credit enhancement and (e) identity and complete name of such bidder and any participating underwriters, and if so, the Official Statement will be modified or supplemented by the information so specified. Neither the Town nor its financial advisor shall be liable in any manner for any delay, inaccuracy, or omission on the part of the successful bidder with respect to such request, nor shall the Town's failure, as a result thereof, to provide the Official Statement (whether or not modified or supplemented) within the above time period, constitute cause for a failure or refusal by such bidder to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms hereof. The obligations hereunder to deliver or accept the Bonds pursuant hereto shall be conditioned on the availability to the successful bidder and delivery at the time of delivery of the Bonds of said approving opinion; of certificates in form and tenor satisfactory to said law firm evidencing the proper execution and delivery of the Bonds and receipt of payment therefor and including a statement, dated as of the date of such delivery, to the effect that there is no litigation pending or (to the knowledge of the signer or signers thereof) threatened relating to the Bonds; and of the several certificates as described in the Official Statement under the heading "Documents Accompanying Delivery of the Bonds." A copy of said approving opinion will appear on the Bonds. Copies of the Notice of Sale and the Official Statement may be obtained upon request from the offices of Munistat Services, Inc., 12 Roosevelt Avenue, Port Jefferson Station, New York 11776, telephone number (631) 331-8888.

Hawkins Delafield & Wood LLP One Chase Manhattan Plaza New York, New York 10005 The Town Board of the Town of Southold, in the County of Suffolk, New York Ladies and Gentlemen: We have examined a record of proceedings relating to the sale and issuance of • $14,650,000 Public Improvement Serial Bonds-2007 (the "Bonds"), of the Town of Southold (the "Town"), in the County of Suffolk, New York. The Bonds are issued pursuant to the provisions of the Local Finance Law, constituting Chapter 33-a of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York, various bond resolutions duly adopted by the Town Board on their respective dates, authorizing the issuance of serial bonds of the Town to finance various purposes in and for the Town, and a Certificate of Determination executed by the Supervisor as of March 27, 2007, determining the terms, form and details of issuance of said $14,650,000 serial bonds and providing for their public sale. The Bonds are dated April 15, 2007, mature on April 15 in the principal amounts in each of the following years, and bear interest at the respective rates per annum payable October 15, 2007 and semiannually thereafter on April 15 and October 15 in each year until maturity, as set forth below: • Year of Principal Interest Year of Principal Interest Maturity Amount Rate Maturity Amount Rate 2008 $700,000 2020 $675,000 2009 725,000 2021 675,000 2010 575,000 2022 675,000 2011 575,000 2023 725,000 2012 600,000 2024 725,000 2013 625,000 2025 725,000 2014 625,000 2026 550,000 2015 625,000 2027 550,000 2016 625,000 2028 550,000 2017 675,000 2029 550,000 2018 675,000 2030 550,000 2019 675,000 The Bonds maturing on or before April 15, 2017 will not be subject to redemption prior to maturity. The Bonds maturing on or after April 15, 2018 will be subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Town, on April 15, 2017 and thereafter, on any date, in whole or in part, at par, and subject to notice and other conditions as stated in the Bonds. The Bonds are issued only in fully registered form without interest coupons, in the name of Cede & Co., as registered owner and nominee for The Depository Trust Company, an automated depository for securities and clearinghouse for securities transactions which will maintain a book-entry system for recording the ownership interests in the Bonds. Only one Bond will be initially issued for each maturity in the aggregate principal amount of such maturity. Purchases of ownership interests in the Bonds will be made in book-entry form in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. • In our opinion, said Bonds are valid and legally binding general obligations of the Town for which the Town has validly pledged its faith and credit and, unless paid from other sources, all the taxable real property within the Town is subject to the levy of ad valorem real estate taxes to pay the Bonds and interest thereon without limitation of rate or amount. The enforceability of rights or remedies with respect to such Bonds may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting creditors' rights or remedies heretofore or hereafter enacted. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), establishes certain requirements that must be met subsequent to the issuance and delivery of the Bonds in order that interest on the Bonds be and remain excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. The Supervisor of the Town, in executing the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate, has certified to the effect that the Town will comply with the provisions and procedures set forth therein and that it will do and perform all acts and things necessary or desirable to assure that interest paid on the Bonds is excludable from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. We • have examined such Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate of the Town delivered concurrently with the delivery of the Bonds, and in our opinion, such certificate contains provisions and procedures under which such requirements can be met. In our opinion, under existing statutes and court decisions, (i) interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of the Code, and (ii) interest on the Bonds is not treated as a preference item in calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations under the Code; such interest, however, is included in the adjusted current earnings of certain corporations for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax imposed on such corporations. In rendering the opinion in this paragraph, we have (i) relied on the representations, certifications of fact, and statements of reasonable expectations made by the Town in the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate and others in connection with the Bonds, and (ii) assumed compliance by the Town with certain provisions and procedures set forth in the Arbitrage and Use of Proceeds Certificate relating to compliance with applicable requirements of the Code to assure the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income under Section 103 of the Code. Further, in our opinion, under existing statutes, interest on the Bonds is exempt from personal income taxes of New York State and its political subdivisions, including The City of New York. Except as stated above, we express no opinion regarding any other federal or state tax consequences with respect to the Bonds. We render our opinion under existing statutes and court decisions as of the issue date, and we assume no obligation to update our opinion after the issue date to reflect any future action, fact or circumstance, or change in law or interpretation, or otherwise. We express no opinion on the effect of any action hereafter taken or not taken in reliance upon an opinion of other counsel on the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds, or on the exemption from state and local tax law of interest on the Bonds. • Other than such record of proceedings, we have not been requested to examine or review and have not examined or reviewed the accuracy or sufficiency of the Official Statement, or any additional proceedings, reports, correspondence, financial statements or other documents, containing financial or other information relative to the Town which have been or may hereafter be furnished or disclosed to purchasers of said Bonds, and we express no opinion with respect to any such financial or other information or the accuracy or sufficiency thereof. We have examined the executed first numbered Bond of said issue and, in our opinion, the form of said Bond and its execution are regular and proper.
