herein authorized.
Upon surrender for transfer of any Note or Notes at the principal office of the
Registrar duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the registered owner
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the City shall execute and the
Registrar shall authenticate, date and deliver in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new fully registered Note or Notes of the same maturity and interest rate
of authorized denomination or denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount.
Any fully registered Note or Notes may be exchanged at said office of the Registrar for a
like aggregate principal amount of Note or Notes of the same maturity and interest rate
of other authorized denomination or denominations. The execution by the City of any
fully registered Note shall constitute full and due authorization of such Note, and the

the Registrar shall never exceed the authorized principal amount of the Notes, less

deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of
the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note shall be made only to or upon
the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative. All such payments
shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the
extent of the sum or sums so paid.
The Registrar shall never register any Note to bearer.
No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Notes, but the
City or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange
of Notes, except in the case of the issuance of a Note or Notes for the unprepaid portion
of a Note surrendered for prepayment.
W
The City and /or the Registrar may enter into an agreement with a securities
depository registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Securities Depository'), including without limitation The Depository Trust
Company, which is the record owner of the Notes, to establish procedures with respect
to Notes owned by such Securities Depository. Such agreement may impose additional
requirements on the Registrar with respect to the Notes.
Section 6. Prepayment. The Notes maturing on and after August 1, 2018, shall
be subject to prepayment at the option of the City, as a whole or in part in such order as
the City shall determine (less than all of the Notes of a single maturity to be selected by
the Registrar, as hereinafter provided), on August 1, 2017, and on any date thereafter,
at a prepayment price of 100% of the principal amount thereof being prepaid plus
accrued interest to the date fixed for prepayment.
The Notes shall be prepaid only in the principal amount of $5,000 each and
integral multiples thereof. At least forty -five (45) days prior to the date fixed for
prepayment (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Registrar), the City shall
notify the Registrar of such date fixed for prepayment and of the principal amount and
order of the Notes to be prepaid on such date. For purposes of any prepayment of less
than all of the outstanding Notes of a single maturity, the particular Notes or portions of
Notes to be prepaid shall be selected by the Registrar from the outstanding Notes of
such maturity then outstanding by such method as the Registrar shall deem fair and
appropriate, and which may provide for the selection for prepayment of Notes or
portions of Notes in principal amounts of $5,000 and integral multiples thereof.
The Registrar shall promptly notify the City in writing of the Notes or portions of
Notes selected for prepayment and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
prepayment, the principal amount thereof to be prepaid.
Section 7. Prepayment Procedure. Unless waived by any registered owner of
Notes (or portions thereof) to be prepaid, notice of the call for any such prepayment
shall be given by the Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the prepayment notice by
registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days and not more
than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for prepayment to the registered owner of the
Note or Notes to be prepaid at the address shown on the Note Register or at such other
address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Registrar. Failure to
give such notice by mailing to any owner of any Note, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the validity of any proceedings for the prepayment of any other Notes.
All notices of prepayment shall state:
(1) the date fixed for prepayment,
(2) the prepayment price,
-7-
(3) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be prepaid, the
identification, including CUSIP numbers (and, in the case of partial prepayment,
the respective principal amounts) of the Notes to be prepaid,
(4) that on the date fixed for prepayment the prepayment price will
become due and payable upon each such Note or portion thereof called for
prepayment, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said
date, and
(5) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of
the prepayment price, which place of payment shall be the principal office of the
Registrar.
Prior to any prepayment date, the City shall deposit with the Registrar an amount
of money sufficient to pay the prepayment price of all the Notes or portions of Notes
which are to be prepaid on that date. With respect to an optional prepayment of any
Notes, unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to be
prepaid shall have been received by the Registrar prior to the giving of such notice of
prepayment, such notice may, at the option of the City, state that said prepayment shall
be conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Registrar on or prior to the date
fixed for prepayment. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force
and effect, the City shall not prepay such Notes, and the Registrar shall give notice, in
the same manner in which the notice of prepayment was given, that such moneys were
not so received and that such Notes will not be prepaid.
Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the Notes or portions of
Notes so to be prepaid shall, on the date fixed for prepayment, become due and
payable at the prepayment price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless
the City shall default in the payment of the prepayment price), such Notes or portions of
Notes shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Notes for prepayment in
accordance with said notice, such Notes shall be paid by the Registrar at the
prepayment price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the date fixed for
prepayment shall be payable as herein provided for the payment of interest. Upon
surrender for any partial prepayment of any Note, there shall be prepared for the
registered owner a new Note or Notes of the same maturity and interest rate in the
amount of the unpaid principal. All Notes which have been prepaid shall be cancelled
and destroyed by the Registrar, and shall not be reissued.
In addition to the prepayment notice required above, further notice of prepayment
(the "Additional Prepayment Notice') shall be given by the Registrar as set forth below,
but no defect in the Additional Prepayment Notice nor any failure to give all or any
portion of the Additional Prepayment Notice shall in any manner affect the effectiveness
of a call for prepayment if notice thereof is given as prescribed above.
Each Additional Prepayment Notice given hereunder shall contain the information
required above, plus (i) the date such notice required above has been or will be mailed;
in
(ii) the date of issuance of the Notes being prepaid, as originally issued; (iii) the maturity
date of each Note (or portion thereof) to be prepaid; and (iv) any other descriptive
information needed to identify accurately the Notes being prepaid prior to maturity.
Each Additional Prepayment Notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days before
the date fixed for prepayment by legible facsimile transmission, registered or certified
mail (postage prepaid) or overnight delivery service to The Depository Trust Company
of New York, New York, and to at least two (2) national information services that
disseminate notices of prepayment of obligations such as the Notes.
Section 8. Form of Notes. The Notes, the certificate of authentication to be
endorsed thereon and the form of assignment to be endorsed thereon are all to be in
