Redemption Procedure The City shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemp- tion date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to • the Bond Registrar), notify the Bond Registrar of such redemption date and of the principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed. For purposes,of any redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Bond Registrar for the Bonds of such maturity by such method of lottery as the Bond Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate; provided, that such lottery shall pro- vide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or portions thereof so that any $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion of a Bond shall be as likely to be called for redemption as any other such $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion. The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City and the Paying Agent in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Unless waived by the owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Bond -6- • Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the redemption notice by registered or certified mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to each. 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 Regis- trar.

Prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Paying Agent 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. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear inter- est. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular registered • owner of a Bond, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with -7- • respect to other registered owners. Notice having been properly given,. failure of a registered owner of a Bond to receive such notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by a registered owner of a Bond entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by registered owners shall be filed with the Bond Registrar, but. such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accor- dance with said notice,. such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. The procedure for the payment of interest due as partof the redemption price shall be as herein provided for payment of interest otherwise due..

All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure 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. -8- • Each further notice of redemption given hereunder shall contain the information required above for an official notice of redemption plus (a) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being re- deemed; (b) the date of issue of the Bonds as originally issued; (c) the rate of interest borne by each Bond being redeemed; (d) the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (e) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed.
