(c) The Bonds (or portions thereof in installments of$5,000) may be subject to
redemption at the option of the City prior to their stated maturities, in whole or in part from
time to time on any date, in such order as may be determined by the City (except that if
at any time less than all of the Bonds of a given maturity are called for redemption, the
particular Bonds or portions thereof in installments of $5,000 of such maturity to be
redeemed shall be selected by lot), upon payment of such redemption prices (expressed
as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed), together with the
interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, as shall be
determined by the City Manager or the Director of Finance in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 hereof.
(d) (i) If any Bond (or any portion of the principal amount thereof in installments
of$5,000) shall be called for redemption, notice of the redemption thereof, specifying the
date, number and maturity of such Bond, the date and place or places fixed for its
redemption, and if less than the entire principal amount of such Bond is to be redeemed,
that such Bond must be surrendered in exchange for the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed and a new Bond or Bonds issued equaling in principal amount that portion of
the principal amount thereof not to be redeemed, shall be mailed not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the
registered owner thereof at the address of such registered owner as it appears on the
books of registry kept by the Registrar and Paying Agent as of the close of business on
the forty-fifth (45th) day next preceding the date fixed for redemption. If notice of the
redemption of any Bond shall have been given as aforesaid, and payment of the principal
amount of such Bond (or the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed) and
of the accrued interest payable upon such redemption shall have been duly made or
provided for, interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after the date so specified
for the redemption thereof.
(ii) Any notice of the optional redemption of the Bonds may state that it is
conditioned upon there being on deposit with the City on the date fixed for the redemption
thereof an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, and any
conditional notice so given may be rescinded at any time before the payment of the
redemption price of such Bonds, together with the interest accrued thereon, is due and
payable if any such condition so specified is not satisfied. If a redemption of any Bonds
does not occur after a conditional notice is given due to there not being on deposit with
the City a sufficient amount of money to pay the redemption price of such Bonds, together
with the interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for the redemption thereof, the
corresponding notice of redemption shall be deemed to be revoked.
(iii) So long as the Bonds are in book-entry only form, any notice of redemption

to its nominee. The City shall not be responsible for providing any beneficial owner of the
Bonds any notice of redemption.
SECTION 2. The full faith and credit of the City shall be and is irrevocably pledged
to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become
due. In each year while the Bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid, this
Council is authorized and required to levy and collect annually, at the same time and in
the same manner as other taxes of the City are assessed, levied and collected, a tax
upon all taxable property within the City, over and above all other taxes, authorized or
limited by law and without limitation as to rate or amount, sufficient to pay when due the
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent other funds of the City are not lawfully
available and appropriated for such purpose.
SECTION 3. (a) The Bonds shall be executed, for and on behalf of the City, by the
manual or facsimile signature of the Mayor of the City and shall have a facsimile of the

purpose unless and until the certificate of authentication endorsed on each Bond shall
have been manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Registrar and Paying
Agent. Upon the authentication of any Bonds the Registrar and Paying Agent shall insert
in the certificate of authentication the date as of which such Bonds are authenticated as
follows: (i) if a Bond is authenticated prior to the first interest payment date, the certificate
shall be dated as of the date of the initial issuance and delivery of the Bonds of the series
of Bonds of which such Bond is one, (ii) if a Bond is authenticated upon an interest
payment date, the certificate shall be dated as of such interest payment date, (iii) if a Bond
is authenticated after the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month next preceding an
interest payment date and prior to such interest payment date, the certificate shall be
dated as of such interest payment date and (iv) in all other instances the certificate shall
be dated as of the interest payment date next preceding the date upon which the Bond is
authenticated. In the event the Bonds of any series shall be dated as of a date other than
the first day of a calendar month or the dates on which interest is payable on such series
are other than the first days of calendar months, the provisions of this Section 3(c) with
regard to the authentication of such Bonds and of Section 9 hereof with regard to the form
of such Bonds shall be modified as the Director of Finance or the City Manager shall
determine to be necessary or appropriate.
(d) The execution and authentication of the Bonds in the manner set forth
above is adopted as a due and sufficient authentication of the Bonds.
SECTION 4. (a) The principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the respective dates of
payment thereof is legal tender for public and private debts. The principal of the Bonds
shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof at the office of the Registrar
and Paying Agent. Interest on the Bonds shall be payable by check mailed by the
Registrar and Paying Agent to the registered owners of such Bonds at their respective
addresses as such addresses appear on the books of registry kept pursuant to this
Section 4; provided, however, that so long as the Bonds are in book-entry form and
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or in the name of such other
nominee of DTC as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, interest
on the Bonds shall be paid directly to Cede & Co. or such other nominee of DTC by wire
transfer.
(b) At all times during which any Bond of any series remains outstanding and
unpaid, the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series shall keep or cause to be kept at
its office books of registry for the registration, exchange and transfer of Bonds of such
series. Upon presentation at its office for such purpose the Registrar and Paying Agent,
under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall register, exchange or
transfer, or cause to be registered, exchanged or transferred, on the books of registry the
Bonds as hereinbefore set forth.
(c) The books of registry shall at all times be open for inspection by the City or
any duly authorized officer thereof.
(d) Any Bond may be exchanged at the office of the Registrar and Paying Agent
for such series of Bonds for a like aggregate principal amount of such Bonds in other
authorized principal sums of the same series, interest rate and maturity.
(e) Any Bond of any series may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred
upon the books of registry by the registered owner of such Bond in person or by the duly
authorized attorney for such registered owner, upon surrender of such Bond to the
Registrar and Paying Agent for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed by the registered owner in person or by the duly authorized
attorney for such registered owner, in form satisfactory to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
(f) All transfers or exchanges pursuant to this Section 4 shall be made without
expense to the registered owners of such Bonds, except as otherwise herein provided,
and except that the Registrar and Paying Agent for such series of Bonds shall require the
payment by the registered owner of the Bond requesting such transfer or exchange of
any tax or other governmental charges required to be paid with respect to such transfer
or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be cancelled.
(g) (i) The Bonds shall be issued in full book-entry form. One Bond
representing each maturity of the Bonds will be issued to and registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, as registered owner of the Bonds, and each such Bond
will be immobilized in the custody of DTC. DTC will act as securities depository for the
Bonds. Individual purchases will be made in book-entry form only, in the principal amount
of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Purchasers will not receive physical delivery of
certificates representing their interest in the Bonds purchased.
(ii) Principal and interest payments on the Bonds will be made by the Registrar
and Paying Agent to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as registered owner of the Bonds,
which will in turn remit such payments to the DTC participants for subsequent disbursal
to the beneficial owners of the Bonds. Transfers of principal and interest payments to
DTC participants will be the responsibility of DTC. Transfers of such payments to
beneficial owners of the Bonds by DTC participants will be the responsibility of such
participants and other nominees of such beneficial owners. Transfers of ownership
interests in the Bonds will be accomplished by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by
the DTC participants who act on behalf of the indirect participants of DTC and the
beneficial owners of the Bonds.
(iii) The City will not be responsible or liable for sending transaction statements
or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing records maintained by DTC, its participants
or persons acting through such participants or for transmitting payments to,
communicating with, notifying, or otherwise dealing with any beneficial owner of the
Bonds.
SECTION 5. (a) CUSIP identification numbers may be printed on the Bonds, but
no such number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular Bond
upon which it is printed; no liability shall attach to the City or any officer or agent thereof
(including any paying agent for the Bonds) by reason of such numbers or any use made
thereof (including any use thereof made by the City, any such officer or any such agent)
or by reason of any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect thereto or in such use; and
any inaccuracy, error or omission with respect to such numbers shall not constitute cause
for failure or refusal by the successful bidder or purchaser to accept delivery of and pay
for the Bonds in accordance with the terms of its bid. All expenses in connection with the
assignment and printing of CUSIP numbers on the Bonds shall be paid by the City;
provided, however, that the CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of such
numbers shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder for or purchaser of the Bonds.
(b) A copy of the final legal opinion with respect to the Bonds, with the name of
the attorney or attorneys rendering the same, together with a certification of the City Clerk,
executed by a facsimile signature of that officer, to the effect that such copy is a true and
complete copy (except for letterhead and date) of the legal opinion which was dated as
of the date of delivery of and payment for the Bonds, may be printed on the Bonds.

that the interest on any Bonds issued hereunder shall be excludable from gross income
for purposes of federal income taxation, the City covenants and agrees that it shall comply
with the provisions of Sections 103 and 141-150 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
