No conditional proposals will be <br /> accepted. <br /> AWARD <br /> The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true <br /> interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in <br /> accordance with customary practice, will be controlling. <br /> The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non-substantive informalities of any proposal or of <br /> matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals <br /> without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply <br /> with the terms herein. <br /> BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION <br /> If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment <br /> therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the <br /> issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of <br /> the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of <br /> insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the City has requested and received a <br /> rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating <br /> agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser. <br /> Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the <br /> purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on <br /> the Bonds. <br /> CUSIP NUMBERS <br /> If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the <br /> Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect <br /> thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the <br /> Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers <br /> shall be paid by the purchaser. <br /> SETTLEMENT <br /> Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the <br /> purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory to the City and the purchaser. Delivery will be <br /> subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Dorsey & Whitney P.L.L.P. <br /> of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including a no-litigation certificate. <br /> On the date of settlement payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds <br /> which shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon, <br /> Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds shall have been <br /> made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be liable to the City for <br /> any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non-compliance with said terms for <br /> payment. <br /> OFFICIAL STATEMENT <br /> • The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent <br /> information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly-final Official <br /> Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. <br /> For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any <br /> - iii - <br />
