If a bid is submitted by a potential underwriter, the bidder confirms that (i) the underwriters have offered or reasonably expect to offer the Bonds to the public on or before the date of the award at the offering price (the "initial offering price") for each maturity as set forth in the bid and (ii) the bidder, if it is the winning bidder, shall require any agreement among underwriters, selling group agreement, retail distribution agreement or other agreement relating to the initial sale of the Bonds to the public to which it is a party to include provisions requiring compliance by all parties to such agreements with the provisions contained herein. For purposes hereof, Bonds with a separate CUSIP number constitute a separate "maturity," and the public does not include underwriters of the Bonds (including members of a selling group or retail distribution group) or persons related to underwriters of the Bonds. If, however, a bid is submitted for the bidder's own account in a capacity other than as an underwriter of the Bonds, and the bidder has no current intention to sell, reoffer, or otherwise dispose of the Bonds, the bidder shall notify the Issuer to that effect at the time it submits its bid and shall provide a certificate to that effect in place of the certificate otherwise required below. If the winning bidder intends to act as an underwriter, the Issuer shall advise the winning bidder at or prior to the time of award whether (i) the competitive sale rule or (ii) the "hold -the -offering price" rule applies, as described in the following paragraph. If the Issuer advises the winning bidder that the requirements for a competitive sale have not been satisfied and that the hold -the -offering price rule applies, the winning bidder shall (1) upon the request of the Issuer confirm that the underwriters did not offer or sell any maturity of the Bonds to any person at a price higher than the initial offering price of that maturity during the period starting on the award date and ending on the earlier of (a) the close of the fifth business day after the sale date or (b) the date on which the underwriters have sold at least 10% of that maturity to the public at or below the initial offering price; and (2) at or prior to closing, deliver to the Issuer a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, together with a copy of the pricing wire. If the Issuer advises the winning bidder that the requirements for a competitive sale have been satisfied and that the competitive sale rule applies, the winning bidder will be required to deliver to the Issuer at or prior to closing a certification, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as to the reasonably expected initial offering price as of the award date. Any action to be taken or documentation to be received by the Issuer pursuant hereto may be taken or received on behalf of the Issuer by the Municipal Advisor. Bidders should prepare their bids on the assumption that the Bonds will be subject to the "hold -the - offering -price" rule. Any bid submitted pursuant to the Terms of Proposal shall be considered a firm offer for the purchase of the Bonds, and bids submitted will not be subject to cancellation or withdrawal. 4848- 4123-0830\1 ADJUSTMENTS TO PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AFTER PROPOSALS The City reserves the right to increase or decrease the principal amount of the Bonds. Any such increase or decrease will be made in multiples of $5,000 and may be made in any maturity. If any maturity is adjusted, the purchase price will also be adjusted to maintain the same gross spread. Such adjustments shall be made promptly after the sale and prior to the award of Proposals by the City and shall be at the sole discretion of the City. The successful bidder may not withdraw or modify its Proposal once submitted to the City for any reason, including post -sale adjustment. Any adjustment shall be conclusive and shall be binding upon the successful bidder. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION Bonds maturing on February 1, 2030 through 2032 are subject to redemption and prepayment at the option of the City on February 1, 2029 and any date thereafter, at a price of par plus accrued interest. Redemption may be in whole or in part of the Bonds subject to prepayment. If redemption is in part, the maturities and principal amounts within each maturity to be redeemed shall be determined by the City and if only part of the Bonds having a common maturity date are called for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. CUSIP NUMBERS If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the successful bidder thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with terms of the purchase contract. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the successful bidder. DELIVERY Delivery of the Bonds will be within thirty-five days after award, subject to an approving legal opinion by Dorsey & Whitney LLC, Bond Counsel. The legal opinion will be paid by the City and delivery will be anywhere in the continental United States without cost to the successful bidder at DTC. TYPE OF PROPOSAL Proposals of not less than $7,840,800 (99.00%) and accrued interest on the principal sum of $7,920,000 must be filed with the undersigned prior to the time of sale. Proposals must be unconditional except as to legality.

The apparent winning bidder will receive notification of the wire instructions from the Municipal Advisor promptly after the sale. If the Deposit is not received from the apparent winning bidder in the time allotted, the City may choose to reject their Proposal and then proceed to offer the Bonds to the next lowest bidder based on the terms of their original proposal, so long as said bidder wires funds for the Deposit amount within two hours of said offer. 4848- 4123-0830\1 The City will retain the Deposit of the successful bidder, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement and no interest will accrue to the successful bidder. In the event the successful bidder fails to comply with the accepted Proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. No Proposal can be withdrawn after the time set for receiving Proposals unless the meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date without award of the Bonds having been made. AWARD The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each Proposal, in accordance with customary practice, will be controlling. In the event of a tie, the sale of the Bonds will be awarded by lot. The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non -substantive informalities of any Proposal or of matters relating to the receipt of Proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all Proposals without cause, and (iii) reject any Proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply with the terms herein. INFORMATION FROM SUCCESSFUL BIDDER The successful bidder will be required to provide, in a timely manner, certain information relating to the initial offering price of the Bonds necessary to compute the yield on the Bonds pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. OFFICIAL STATEMENT By awarding the Bonds to any underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a Proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide to the senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded, the Final Official Statement in an electronic format as prescribed by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB). FULL CONTINUING DISCLOSURE UNDERTAKING The City will covenant in the resolution awarding the sale of the Bonds and in a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking to provide, or cause to be provided, annual financial information, including audited financial statements of the City, and notices of certain material events, as required by SEC Rule 15c2-12. NOT BANK QUALIFIED The City will not designate the Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 4848- 4123-0830\1 BOND INSURANCE AT UNDERWRITER'S OPTION If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment therefor at the option of the successful bidder, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the successful bidder of the Bonds. Any increase in the costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of insurance shall be paid by the successful bidder, except that, if the City has requested and received a rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating agency fees shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder. Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after the Bonds have been awarded to the successful bidder shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery on the Bonds. The City reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals, to waive informalities and to adjourn the sale.
