Section 5. Redemption Prior to Maturity and Purchase of Bonds. (a) Mandatory Redemption of Term Bonds and Optional Redemption. The Bonds of each series shall be subject to mandatory redemption to the extent, if any, set forth in the Sale Document and as approved by a Designated Representative pursuant to Section 12.

(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption. For as long as the Bonds are held in book -entry only form, the selection of particular Bonds within a series and maturity to be redeemed shall be made in accordance with the operational arrangements then in effect at DTC. If the Bonds are no longer held by a depository, the selection of such Bonds to be redeemed and the surrender and reissuance thereof, as applicable, shall be made as provided in the following provisions of this subsection (c). If the City redeems at any one time fewer than all of the Bonds of a series having the same maturity date, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot (or in such manner determined by the Bond Registrar) in increments of $5,000. In the case of a Bond of a denomination greater than $5,000, the City and the Bond Registrar shall treat each Bond as representing such number of separate Bonds each of the denomination of $5,000 as is obtained by dividing the actual principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. In the event that only a portion of the principal sum of a Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of such Bond at the designated office of the Bond Registrar there shall be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge therefor, for the then unredeemed balance of the principal sum thereof, at the option of the Registered Owner, a Bond or Bonds of like series, maturity and interest rate in any of the denominations herein authorized.

For so long as the Bonds are held by a depository, notice of redemption shall be given in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC as then -14- 10018 00012 hj082d42n2 ORDINANCE NO. 5896 in effect, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall provide any notice of redemption to any beneficial owners. The notice of redemption may be conditional. Unless waived by any Registered Owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such redemption (which redemption may be conditioned by the Bond Registrar on the receipt of sufficient funds for redemption or otherwise) shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing a copy of an official redemption notice by first class mail at least 20 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Registered Owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such Registered Owner to the Bond Registrar. All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state: (A) the redemption date, (B) the redemption price, (C) if fewer than all outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification by series and maturity (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed, (D) any conditions to redemption, (E) that unless conditional notice of redemption has been given and such conditions have either been satisfied or waived, on the redemption date the redemption price shall become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date, and -15- 10018 00012 hj082d42n2 ORDINANCE NO. 5896 (F) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the designated office of the Bond Registrar. On or prior to any redemption date, unless such redemption has been rescinded or revoked, the City shall deposit with the Bond Registrar an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. The City retains the right to rescind any redemption notice and the related optional redemption of Bonds by giving notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owners at any time on or prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any notice of optional redemption that is so rescinded shall be of no effect, and the Bonds for which the notice of optional redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding. (2) Effect of Notice; Bonds Due. If notice of redemption has been given and not rescinded or revoked, or if the conditions set forth in a conditional notice of redemption have been satisfied or waived, the Bonds of such series or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Bond Registrar at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be canceled by the Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued. (3) Additional Notice In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the City as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure -16- 10018 00012 hj082d42n2 ORDINANCE NO. 5896 to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed.

Each further notice of redemption may be sent at least 20 days before the redemption date to each party entitled to receive notice pursuant to Section 14 and the applicable Continuing Disclosure Certificate and with such additional information as the City shall deem appropriate, but such mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the redemption of such Bonds. (4) Amendment of Notice Provisions. The foregoing notice provisions of this Section 5, including but not limited to the information to be included in redemption notices and the persons designated to receive notices, may be amended by additions, deletions and changes in order to maintain compliance with duly promulgated regulations and recommendations regarding notices of redemption of municipal securities.

Any Bond may be signed and attested on behalf of the City by such persons who, at the actual date of execution of such Bond shall be the proper officer of the City, although at the original date of such Bond such persons were not such officers of the City. Only such Bonds as shall bear thereon a Certificate of Authentication manually executed by an authorized representative of the Bond Registrar shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this ordinance.

Upon completion of the Projects, any remaining Bond proceeds (including interest earnings thereon) may be used for other capital projects of the City or shall be transferred to the Debt Service Fund for the allocable series of Bonds. Section 9. Tax Covenants. The City will take all actions necessary to assure the exclusion of interest on any Tax -Exempt Bonds from the gross income of the owners of such Tax -Exempt Bonds to the same extent as such interest is permitted to be excluded from gross income under the Code as in effect on the date of issuance of such Tax -Exempt Bonds, including but not limited to the following: (a) Private Activity Bond Limitation. The City will assure that the proceeds of the Tax -Exempt Bonds are not so used as to cause the Tax -Exempt Bonds to satisfy the private business tests of Section 141(b) of the Code or the private loan financing test of Section 141(c) of the Code. (b) Limitations on Disposition of Projects. The City will not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of (i) any personal property components of the Projects other than in the ordinary course of an established government program under Treasury Regulation 1.141-2(d)(4) or (ii) any real property components of the Projects, unless it has received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such disposition will not adversely affect the treatment of interest on the Tax -Exempt Bonds as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. -19- 10018 00012 hj082d42n2 ORDINANCE NO. 5896 (c) Federal Guarantee Prohibition.

(d) Rebate Requirement. The City will take any and all actions necessary to assure compliance with Section 148(f) of the Code, relating to the rebate of excess investment earnings, if any, to the federal government, to the extent that such section is applicable to the Tax -Exempt Bonds. (e) No Arbitrage. The City will not take, or permit or suffer to be taken, any action with respect to the proceeds of the Tax -Exempt Bonds which, if such action had been reasonably expected to have been taken, or had been deliberately and intentionally taken, on the date of issuance of the Tax -Exempt Bonds would have caused the Tax -Exempt Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. (f) Registration Covenant.
