In this connection,I have reviewed(a)the Constitution of the State of Colorado and other applicable law;(b) certain proceedings taken by the City, including a resolution(the "Resolution"),duly adopted by the City,pertaining to the authorization of the Lease Agreement and related transactions; (c) an executed copy of the Lease Agreement; and the Project Fund Agreement (the "Agreements") (d) such other information and documents as I have deemed relevant in order to render this opinion. Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that: 1. The City is a Colorado public body duly existing pursuant to Colorado law. 2. The City has duly adopted the Resolution. 3. The City has duly authorized, executed and delivered each Agreement. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of an Agreement by every other party thereto, each such Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the City enforceable in accordance with its terms. The enforceability of the City's obligations with respect to the Agreement is subject to the provisions of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights. The enforceability of such obligations is also subject to usual equity principles, which may limit the specific enforcement of certain remedies. 4. No further approval, consent or withholding of objections is required from any federal, state or local government authority with respect to the City's entering into the Lease Agreement, the City's performing its obligations thereunder or the transactions contemplated thereby. The City has complied with all required public-bidding procedures regarding the Equipment (as defined in the Lease Agreement) and the transactions contemplated by the Lease Agreement. 5. All of the Equipment described in the Lease Agreement as intended to be financed by the City will be personal property when installed as expected, and no portion will be real property or a "fixture" within the meaning of the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code. 6. To the best of my knowledge after reasonable investigation, neither (a) the adoption of the Resolution, nor (b) the execution and delivery of the Lease Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, nor (c) the fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement breaches or violates any provision of any contract, lease, instrument or other agreement or any judgment, order or decree of any court or other governmental authority to which the City is a party or by which the City is bound. No event or condition has happened or existed,or is happening or existing,under the provisions of any such instrument which, at this time, constitutes a default or which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under any such contract, lease, instrument or other agreement or any such judgment, order or decree. 7. There is no litigation or any proceeding before any governmental agency pending or, to the best of my knowledge after reasonable investigation, threatened against the City(or any official thereof in an official capacity)with respect to (a)the City's organization or existence, (b)the City's authority to execute and deliver the Lease Agreement, to adopt the Resolution or to comply with the terms thereof, (c) the transactions contemplated by the Lease Agreement and the Resolution, (d) the title to office of any City governing board member or any other City officer, or (e) any authority or proceedings relating to the City's execution or delivery of the Lease Agreement. Very truly yours, Daniel C. Kogovsek City Attorney
