SECTION III. Terms of Redemption. The Controller, upon consultation with the City's municipal advisor, may designate maturities of Bonds (or portion thereof in authorized denominations) that shall be subject to optional redemption and/or mandatory sinking fund redemption, and the corresponding redemption dates, amounts and prices (including premium, if any). Except as otherwise set forth in this Ordinance, the Controller, upon consultation with the City's municipal advisor, is hereby authorized and directed to determine the terms governing any such redemption. Notice of redemption shall be mailed by first-class mail or by registered or certified mail to the address of each registered owner of a Bond to be redeemed as shown on the Registration Record not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for redemption except to the extent such redemption notice is waived by owners of Bonds redeemed, provided, however, that failure to give such notice by mailing, or any defect therein, with respect to any Bond shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of any other Bonds. The notice shall specify the date and place of redemption, the redemption price and the CUSIP numbers (if any) of the Bonds called for redemption. The place of redemption may be determined by the City. Interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall cease on the redemption date fixed in such notice if sufficient funds are available at the place of redemption to pay the redemption price on the date so named, and thereafter, such Bonds shall no longer be protected by this Ordinance and shall not be deemed to be outstanding hereunder, and the holders thereof shall have the right only to receive the redemption price. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be canceled and shall not be reissued; provided, however, that one (1) or more new registered Bonds shall be issued for the unredeemed portion of any Bond without charge to the holder thereof. No later than the date fixed for redemption, funds shall be deposited with the Paying Agent or another paying agent to pay, and such agent is hereby authorized and directed to apply such funds to the payment of, the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption, including accrued interest thereon to the redemption date. No payment shall be made upon any Bond or portion thereof called for redemption until such Bond shall have been delivered for payment or cancellation or the Registrar shall have received the items required by this Ordinance with respect to any mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed bond. SECTION IV. Appointment of Registrar and Paving Agent. The Controller is hereby authorized to serve as, or to appoint a qualified financial institution to serve as, Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds (the "Registrar" or "Paying Agent"). The Registrar is hereby charged with the responsibility of authenticating the Bonds, and shall keep and maintain at its principal office or corporate trust office books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds. The Mayor and the Clerk are hereby authorized to enter into such agreements or understandings with such institution as will enable the institution to perform the services required of the Registrar and Paying Agent. The Controller is authorized to pay such fees as the institution may charge for the services it provides as Registrar and Paying Agent. The Registrar and Paying Agent may, at any time, resign as Registrar and Paying Agent by giving thirty (30) days written notice to the Controller and to each registered owner of the Bonds then outstanding, and such resignation will take effect at the end of such thirty (30) days or upon the earlier appointment of a successor Registrar and Paying Agent by the Controller. 4
