TERMS OF SALE Bid Proposals. Any bidder is required to submit an unconditional and written bid for the entire issue, specifying the interest rate or rates and specifying the prices at which the bidder will purchase the Series 2001 Bonds, which price shall each be at or above par plus accrued interest. The bid form attached hereto must be used. Each bid must be in a sealed envelope addressed to: Ms. Cappie I. Fine, Office of Director of Finance and Record, City of Boulder, Municipal Building, 1777 Broadway, Boulder, Colorado 80302. Good Faith Deposit. A good faith deposit (the "Deposit") in the form of a certified or cashier's check or a financial surety bond (the "Financial Surety Bond") in the amount of $105,000, payable to the order of the City of Boulder, Colorado, is required for each bid to be considered. If a check is used, it must accompany each bid. If a Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in the State of Colorado, and such bond must be submitted to the City or its financial advisor prior to the opening of the bids. The Financial Surety Bond must identify each bidder whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Series 2001 Bonds are awarded to a bidder utilizing a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser (the "Purchaser") is required to submit its Deposit to the City or its financial advisor in the form of a cashier's check (or wire transfer such amount as instructed by the City or its financial advisor) not later than 3:30 p.m. M.S.T. on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit of the Purchaser will either be applied to the purchase price of the Series 2001 Bonds or returned to the Purchaser on the closing date upon payment of the full purchase price of the Series 2001 Bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor its accepted oz-9zasz.oz 5 bid, the Deposit will be retained by the City. Deposits of all bidders other than the Purchaser shall be promptly returned to each such bidder. Tax Status. Kutak Rock LLP, Denver, Colorado, bond counsel, will opine that under existing laws, regulations, rulings and judicial decisions, the interest on the Series 2001 Bonds (a)is not includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes and is not includible in gross income for Colorado income tax purposes, (b) is not includible in alternative minimum taxable income for the purpose of the Colorado alternative minimum tax and (c) is not a specific preference item for purposes of the alternative minimum tax provisions contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); however, such opinion will also state that interest on the Series 2001 Bonds will be included in the adjusted current earnings of certain corporations, and such corporations are required to include in the calculation of alternative minimum taxable income 75% of the excess of each such corporation's adjusted current earnings over its alternative minimum taxable income (determined without regard to this adjustment and prior to reduction for certain net operating losses); and that the opinions described in clauses (a) through (c) above are subject to continuing compliance by the City with the covenants regarding federal tax law contained in the Ordinance and that failure to comply with such covenants could cause interest on the Series 2001 Bonds to be so included in federal and Colorado gross income retroactive to the date of issue of the Series 2001 Bonds. Bond counsel's opinion will also state that the accrual or receipt of interest on the Series 2001 Bonds may otherwise affect the federal income tax liability of the recipient, and that the extent of these other tax consequences will depend upon the recipient's particular tax status or other items of income or deduction. If, prior to the delivery of the Series 2001 Bonds to the successful bidder therefor, the income received by private owners of obligations of the wine type and character as the Series 2001 Bonds shall be includible in gross income for federal or State of Colorado purposes, the successful bidder, at its election made prior to the tender by the Council of the Series 2001 Bonds for delivery, may be relieved of any obligation under the contract to purchase the Series 2001 Bonds. In such case, the contract to purchase all the Series 2001 Bonds shall terminate, and the deposit accompanying the Purchaser's bid will be returned to the Purchaser upon written request therefor. Any such option shall be exercised by a letter addressed to the Director of Finance and Record and bond counsel, and deposited in the United States mails, as first-class mail, postage prepaid. Sale Reservations. The City reserves the privilege: (a) of waiving any irregularity or informality in any bid; (b) of rejecting any and all bids for the Series 2001 Bonds; and (c) of reoffering the Series 2001 Bonds for sale in any manner permitted by law. Adjustment of Principal Amaunt. Upon acceptance of bids, the Council, after consultation with its Financial Advisor, shall compute the yield restriction applicable to the escrow for the Refunded Bonds, and shall determine the composition of the escrow (which shall be invested in United States Treasury Obligations). To the extent more or less Series 2001 Bond proceeds are required to establish such escrow, the principal amount of the Series 2001 Bonds oz-szasz.oz 6 adjustmentshalldnopexceedr$20,000 for any one year and shall not exceed $100,000 insotal principal amount. Further, the Council reserves the discretion, notwithstanding the foregoing, to vary the principal amount of Series 2001 Bonds in excess of the parameters set forth above if the Council deems it necessary to accomplish the refunding, and notice thereof will be given over Bloomberg prior to the time bids are to be received. Basis of Award. The Series 2001 Bonds, subject to such sale reservations, shall be sold to the highest responsible bidder, and to the best advantage of the City.
