Proposals for the Bonds may contain a maturity schedule providing for a combination of serial <br />bonds and term bonds. All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption <br />and must conform to the maturity schedule set forth above at a price of par plus accrued interest <br />to the date of redemption. In order to designate term bonds, the proposal must specify "Years of <br />Term Maturities" in the spaces provided on the Proposal Form. <br />BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM <br />The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of <br />Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond, <br />representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be <br />registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), <br />New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds. Individual <br />purchases of the Bonds may be made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof <br />of a single maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its <br />participants. Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as <br />registered owner of the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of <br />DTC will be the responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial <br />owners by participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of <br />beneficial owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to <br />deposit the Bonds with DTC. <br />REGISTRAR <br />The City will name the registrar that shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City <br />will pay for the services of the registrar. <br />OPTIONAL REDEMPTION <br />The City may elect on February 1, 2013, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or <br />after February 1, 2014. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the <br />City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are <br />called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be <br />prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to <br />be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in <br />such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest. <br />SECURITY AND PURPOSE <br />The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and <br />credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge special <br />assessments against benefited properties. The proceeds will be used to finance various <br />improvement projects within the City and to refund the February 1, 2005 through <br />February 1, 2007 maturities of the City's General Obligation Improvement Bonds, Series <br />1996A, dated October 1, 1996. <br />SJB-239164v1 <br />LN 140-84 <br />
