City nor the Paying Agent/Registrar shall be bound by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.

principal amount of such Term Certificate to be redeemed and shall call such Certificate for

The principal amount of the Term Certificates required to be redeemed on any mandatory
sinking fund redemption date shall be reduced, at the option of the City, by the principal amount
of any Term Certificates which, at least 45 days prior to the mandatory sinking fund redemption
date shall have been acquired by the City at a price not exceeding the principal amount of such
Term Certificates plus accrued interest to the date of purchase thereof, and delivered to the
Paying Agent/Registrar for cancellation.
Notice of such redemption or redemptions shall be given by first class mail, postage

Ordinance, to give notice of its election or direction to redeem Certificates conditioned upon the
occurrence of subsequent events. Such notice may state (i) that the redemption is conditioned

necessary to effect the redemption, with the Paying Agent/Registrar, or such other entity as may

rescind such notice at any time on or prior to the scheduled redemption date if the City delivers a
certificate of the City to the Paying Agent/Registrar instructing the Paying Agent/Registrar to
rescind the redemption notice and such notice and redemption shall be of no effect if such
moneys and/or authorized securities are not so deposited or if the notice is rescinded. The
Paying Agent/Registrar shall give prompt notice of any such rescission of a conditional notice of
redemption to the affected Owners. Any Certificates subject to conditional redemption and such
redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding and the rescission of such redemption
shall not constitute an event of default. Further, in the case of a conditional redemption, the
failure of the City to make moneys and or authorized securities available in part or in whole on
or before the redemption date shall not constitute an event of default.
As provided in the Ordinance, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this
Certificate is transferable upon surrender of this Certificate for transfer at the Designated

166138v.1 GRA325/1
Payment/Transfer Office with such endorsement or other evidence of transfer as is acceptable to

to be done precedent to and in the issuance of the Certificates have been properly done and
performed and have happened in regular and due time, form, and manner as required by law; that
ad valorem taxes upon all taxable property in the City have been levied for and pledged to the

The City shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that, based upon

would cause the Certificates to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141 of
the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder. Moreover, the City covenants and agrees
that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including interest or other
investment income derived from Certificate proceeds, regulate the use of property financed,

The City shall certify, through an authorized officer, employee or agent, that, based upon
all facts and estimates known or reasonably expected to be in existence on the date the
Certificates are delivered, the City will reasonably expect that the proceeds of the Certificates
will not be used in a manner that would cause the Certificates to be "arbitrage bonds" within the
meaning of section 148(a)of the Code and the applicable Regulations thereunder. Moreover, the
City covenants and agrees that it will make such use of the proceeds of the Certificates, including
interest or other investment income derived from Certificate proceeds, regulate investments of

amounts earned by the City on the investment of the "gross proceeds" of the Certificates (within
the meaning of section 148(f)(6)(B) of the Code), be rebated to the federal government.

the Certificates as may be required to calculate the amount earned on the investment of the gross

accounts of the City allocable to other issues of the City or moneys which do not represent gross
proceeds of any issues of the City, (ii) calculate at such times as are required by applicable
Regulations the amount earned from the investment of the gross proceeds of the Certificates

fifth anniversary date of the delivery of the Certificates or on such other dates as may be
permitted under applicable Regulations, all amounts required to be rebated to the federal
government. Further, the City will not indirectly pay any amount otherwise payable to the
federal government pursuant to the foregoing requirements to any person other than the federal
government by entering into any investment arrangement with respect to the gross proceeds of
the Certificates that might result in a reduction in the amount required to be paid to the federal
government because such arrangement results in a smaller profit or a larger loss than would have
resulted if the arrangement had been at arm's length and had the yield on the issue not been
relevant to either party.
Section 9.09. Information Reporting.
The City covenants and agrees to file or cause to be filed with the Secretary of the
Treasury, not later than the 15th day of the second calendar month after the close of the calendar
quarter in which the Certificates are issued, an information statement concerning the Certificates,
