Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am the General Counsel of Capital Guaranty Insurance Company,
a stock insurance company incorporated in the State of Maryland
("Capital Guaranty") and, as such, am familiar with the
corporate affairs of Capital Guaranty.
In connection with the issuance by Capital Guaranty on the date
hereof of a certain financial guaranty bond (the "Financial
Guaranty Bond") insuring the payment of the principal of and
interest on the above -captioned Obligations, I have examined
such documents and reviewed such questions of law and procedures
as I deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this
opinion and, on the basis of such knowledge, examination and
review, you are advised that in my opinion:
(1) Capital Guaranty has been duly incorporated and is
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Maryland.
(2) The Financial Guaranty Bond was
course of business and constitutes
binding obligation of Capital G
accordance with its terms, subject
to bankruptcy, insolvenc
rehabilitation and other simila
applicability relating to or
and/or claimants' rights against
and to general equity principles.
-13-
issued in the ordinary
the legal, valid and
uaranty enforceable in

(3) The statements contained in the Official Statement
dated September 13, 1990, under the caption "FINANCIAL
GUARANTY BOND" and in Appendix A entitled "FORM OF
FINANCIAL GUARANTY BOND" and in Appendix B entitled
"FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF CAPITAL GUARANTY INSURANCE
COMPANY", insofar as such statements constitute
summaries of the matters referred to therein,
accurately reflect and fairly present the information
purported to be shown and, insofar as such statements
purport to describe Capital Guaranty and the Financial
Guaranty Bond, fairly and accurately describe Capital
Guaranty and the Financial Guaranty Bond.
Capital Guaranty
is organized under the
laws of the

admitted to practice

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am City Attorney for the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas
(the "City"), and have acted in that capacity in connection with
the issuance and sale by the City of its $33,019,000 Sales and
Use Tax Capital Improvement Bonds, Series 1990 (the "Bonds),
which Bonds are being sold pursuant to a Bond Purchase Agreement
dated September 13, 1990 (the "Bond Purchase Agreement"),
between Llama Company (the "Underwriter") and the City. The
terms defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement are used in this
letter with the meaning assigned to them in the Bond Purchase
Agreement.
In this connection, I have reviewed certain documents with
respect to the Bonds, and such records, certificates and other
documents as I have considered necessary or appropriate for the
purposes of this opinion, including the Ordinance adopted by the
City on October 4, 1988 (the "Levying Ordinance"), the Ordinance
adopted by the City on April 19, 1990 (the "Election Ordinance")
and the Ordinance adopted by the City on Septmber 13, 1990 (the
"Authorizing Ordinance"), the Trust Indenture dated as of
October 15, 1990 (the "Indenture"), between the City and
-15-
October _, 1990
Page Two
Mcllroy Bank & Trust, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the Preliminary
Official Statement dated September 7, 1990, and the final
Official Statement dated September 13, 1990, with respect to the
Bonds (collectively, the "Official Statement"), and a closing
certificate of the City. Based on such review and such other
considerations of law and fact as I believe to be relevant, I am
of the opinion that:
1. The City has been properly formed and is validly
existing as a city of the first class and political subdivision
of the State of Arkansas with full power and authority to adopt
the Levying Ordinance, the Election Ordinance and the
Authorizing Ordinance and to execute and deliver the Bonds, the
Indenture, the Official Statement and the Bond Purchase
Agreement.
2. The adoption of the Levying Ordinance, the
Election Ordinance and the Authorizing Ordinance, the issuance
of the Bonds, the execution and delivery of the Indenture and
the Bond Purchase Agreement, and the performance of the City's
obligations thereunder do not and will not result in a violation
of any provision of, or in default under, any other ordinance or
any other agreement or instrument to which the City is a party
or by which it or its properties are bound.
3. Excepting those matters discussed in the Official
Statement, the City is not in violation of any provision of any
agreement or instrument the violation of or default under which
would materially and adversely affect the business, properties,
assets, liabilities or condition (financial or other) of the
City.
4. Excepting those matters discussed in the Official
Statement, there are no legal or governmental actions,
proceedings, inquiries or investigations pending or threatened
by governmental authorities or to which the City is a party or
to which any property of the City is subject which, if
determined adversely, would individually or in the aggregate (i)
materially and adversely affect the validity or the
enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture or the Bond Purchase
Agreement, (ii) otherwise materially and adversely affect the
ability of the City to comply with its obligations on the Bonds
or under the Authorizing Ordinance, the Indenture or the Bond
Purchase Agreement, or (iii) materially and adversely affect the
transactions contemplated by the Official Statement to be
engaged in by the City.
-16-
October _, 1990

5. The aggregate amount which may reasonably be
expected to be recovered in litigation pending or threatened
against the City does not appear to be material to the Owners of
the Bonds taking into account insurance coverage.
6. I have reviewed and considered the information
contained in the Official Statement and nothing has come to my
attention which leads me to believe that the Official Statement
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
made therein not misleading. I express no opinion as to
information included in the Official Statement under the
captions "TAX EXEMPTION", "UNDERWRITING", and "FINANCIAL
GUARANTY BOND" or in Appendices A and B thereto.
I hereby consent to the references made to me in the
Official Statement.

We have examined a certified copy of proceedings of the City
of Fayetteville, Arkansas (the "City"), and other documents
pertaining to the issuance by the City of its $33,019,000
aggregate principal amount of Sales and Use Tax Capital
Improvement Bonds, Series 1990 (the "Bonds"). The Bonds are
being issued for the purpose of providing the funds necessary to
finance the costs of acquiring, constructing and equipping
certain capital improvements within the City (the
"Improvements"), to fund a debt service reserve, and to pay the
costs of issuance of the Bonds.
The Bonds are issued under the authority of Amendment No. 62
to the Constitution of the State of Arkansas, as implemented by
Act No. 871 of the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas for
the year 1985, as amended (the "Act"), pursuant to Ordinance
No. _ of the City adopted September 13, 1990 (the "Authorizing
Ordinance"), and a Trust Indenture, dated as of October 15, 1990
(the "Indenture"), between the City and Mcllroy Bank & Trust, of
Fayetteville, Arkansas, as bond registrar, paying agent and
trustee (the "Trustee"). In accordance with the Act and
pursuant to Ordinance No. 3381 of the City adopted October 4,
1988 (the "Levying Ordinance"), the City has levied a one
percent (1%) local sales and use tax (the "Sales Tax"). In
accordance with the Act and pursuant to the Authorizing
Ordinance, the City has pledged receipts from the Sales Tax (the
-18-
Approving Opinion
October _, 1990
Page Two
"Tax Receipts") in amounts sufficient to provide for debt
service on the Bonds and to maintain a debt service reserve.
The Bonds are not secured by a lien on or security interest in
the Improvements or the revenues thereof. The issuance of the
Bonds and the pledge of the Tax, Receipts has been approved by a
majority of the qualified electors of the City voting on the
question at a special election held May 29, 1990, pursuant to
the provisions of Ordinance No. 3480 adopted April 19, 1990 (the
"Election Ordinance").
The Bonds are being issued in fully registered form in
denominations of $5,000 or integral multiples thereof, except
for one Bond in the denomination of $4,000. The Bonds are dated
October 15, 1990, and mature on November 15 in the years 1991 to
2002, inclusive, and on November 15, 2005 and on November 15,
2008. Interest is payable on the Bonds from their date
semiannually on each May 15 and November 15, commencing May 15,
1991, by check or draft mailed by the trustee to the registered
owners thereof.
The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as set
forth in the Indenture and the Authorizing Ordinance and the
Bonds.
Based on the above, we are of the opinion, under existing
law, that:
Attorney,
1. In reliance
of even date
on the opinion of Jerry Rose, City
herewith, the City is duly created and
validly existing
as a city
of the first class of the State
of
Arkansas,
Election
with the power
Ordinance and the
to adopt the Levying Ordinance,
Authorizing Ordinance, to execute
the
and
deliver
the Indenture,
to perform the agreements on its
part
contained
in the Indenture
and to issue the Bonds.
2. The Bonds have been duly authorized and issued by
the City and are valid and binding special obligations of the
City enforceable in accordance with their terms.
3. The Bonds are secured by an irrevocable pledge a
portion of the Tax Receipts as provided in the Indenture and the
Authorizing Ordinance.
4. The Indenture has been duly executed and delivered
by the City to the Trustee and is legally binding and
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
-19-
Approving Opinion
October _, 1990

5. Under existing statutes, regulations and court
decisions and assuming compliance by the City with certain
covenants and requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the "Code") regarding use, expenditure and
investment of Bond proceeds and the timely payment of certain
investment earnings to the United States Treasury, interest on
the Bonds is not includable in the gross income of the Owners of
the Bonds for purposes of federal income taxation. .
Interest on the Bonds will not be treated as a preference
item in calculating alternative minimum taxable income of
individuals; however, interest on the Series 1990 Bonds will be
included in the calculation of the alternative minimum tax and
environmental tax liabilities of corporations.
The Code contains other provisions that could result in tax
consequences, upon which we render no opinion, as a result of
ownership of the Bonds or the inclusion in certain computations
(including, without limitation, those related to the corporate
alternative minimum tax and environmental tax) of interest that
is excluded from gross income.
6. The Bonds and interest thereon are exempt from all
state, county and municipal taxes in the State of Arkansas.
7. Nothing has come to our attention which would lead
us to believe that the information in the Official Statement
under the captions "Introductory Statement", "The Series 1990
Bonds", "Security for the Series 1990 Bonds", "Certain
Definitions", "Summary of Portions of the Indenture" and "Tax
Exemption" contains an untrue statement of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they
were made, not misleading.
With regard to matters expressed in this opinion, please be
advised that the rights of the owners of the Bonds and the
enforceability of the Bonds and the Indenture may be subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other
similar laws affecting creditors' rights heretofore or hereafter
enacted to the extent constitutionally applicable and that their
enforcement may also be subject to the exercise of judicial
discretion in appropriate cases.
Very truly yours,
Brown & Wood
