See RATINGS herein.
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions, and assuming continuing compliance with certain covenants made by the Corporation, interest
on the Series 2007A Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum
tax imposed on individuals and corporations, upon the conditions and subject to the limitations set forth herein under the caption TAX EXEMPTION. Interest on the Series
2007A Bonds held by corporations is includable in the computation of such corporations adjusted net book income, adjusted current earnings or modified alternative taxable
income. Receipt of interest on the Series 2007A Bonds may result in other federal income tax consequences to certain holders of the Series 2007A Bonds. In the opinion of Bond
Counsel, interest on the Series 2007A Bonds and the Series 2007B Bonds is also exempt from income tax by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and the Series 2007A Bonds and
the Series 2007B Bonds are exempt from ad valorem taxation by the Commonwealth of Kentucky and any of its political subdivisions.
