CUSIP Numbers
The City will assume no obligation for the assignment or printing of CUSIP numbers on
I.
the Bonds or for the correctness of any numbers printed thereon, but will permit such numbers to
be assigned and printed at the expense of the purchaser, if the original purchaser waives any
delay in delivery occasioned thereby.
Official Statement
The City will prepare an Official Statement relating to the Bonds which the City will
deem, for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12, to be final as of its date. The City will deliver, at
closing, a certificate executed by the Mayor, the City Clerk and the Finance Director to the effect
that, to the best of their knowledge, as of the date of closing, the information contained in the
Official Statement,, including any supplement thereto, does not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading; provided that no comment will be
made with respect to any information provided by the successful bidder for inclusion in any
supplement to the Official Statement.
By submitting a bid for the Bonds, the successful bidder agrees'- (1) to disseminate to
all members of the underwriting syndicate copies of the Official Statement including any
supplements prepared by the City, (2) to file promptly a copy of the Official Statement, including
any supplement prepared by the City, with a nationally recognized municipal securities
repository, and (3) to take any and all other actions necessary to comply with applicable rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board
governing the offering, sale and delivery of the Bonds to ultimate purchasers.
Within seven (7) business days after the sale the City will furnish to the successful
bidder without charge, up to one hundred (100) copies of the final Official Statement relating to
the Bonds. The successful bidder must notify the Finance Director in writing within seven (7)
business days after the award of sale of the Bonds if it requires additional copies of the Official
Statement. The cost of additional copies shall be paid by the successful bidder.
Continuing- Disclosure
In order to permit bidders for the Bonds and other participating underwriters in the primary
offering of the Bonds to comply with paragraph (b)(5) of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"),
the City will covenant and agree, for the benefit of the registered holders and beneficial owners
from time to time of the outstanding Bonds, in a Continuing Disclosure Undertaking as set forth
in the Official Statement, to provide annual reports of specified information and notice of the
occurrence of certain events, if material. The City, the District Fund and Revolving Fund are the
only "obligated persons" in respect of the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule for the purposes
of disclosing information on an ongoing basis. Failure of the City to enter into an undertaking
substantially similar to that described in the Official Statement would relieve the successful
A-7
bidder of its obligation to purchase the Bonds. [The City has complied in all material respects
with any undertaking previously entered 'into by it under the Rule.]
