21 <br /> • THE BONDS <br /> Description <br /> The Bonds will be dated as of their date of delivery and will bear interest from their date. In- <br /> terest on the Bonds will be payable semiannually on each February 1 and August 1, commencing <br /> February 1, 2010. The Bonds will mature, subject to the optional redemption provisions set forth <br /> below,on the dates set forth on the inside cover page of this Official Statement. <br /> The Bonds will be issuable as fully registered bonds in a book-entry system under which The <br /> Depository Trust Company ("DTC") will act as securities depository nominee for the Bonds. Pur- <br /> chases and transfers of the Bonds may be made only in authorized denominations of$5,000 and in <br /> accordance with the practices and procedures of DTC. See Appendix E hereto for a description of <br /> DTC and its book-entry system. <br /> Redemption Provisions <br /> The Bonds maturing prior to February 1,2020 will not be subject to redemption prior to matur- <br /> ity.The Bonds maturing on February 1, 2020 and thereafter will be redeemable, at the option of the <br /> County, from any moneys that may be made available for such purpose,either in whole or in part on <br /> any date not earlier than February 1, 2015, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal <br /> amount of the Bonds to be redeemed,plus interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. <br /> If less than all of the Bonds of any one maturity shall be called for redemption, the particular <br /> Bonds or portions of Bonds of such maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot in such manner <br /> as the County in its discretion may determine;provided,however,that the portion of any Bond to be <br /> redeemed shall be in the principal amount of$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof and that, in <br /> selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Bonds <br /> which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such bond by$5,000 and, further, that so long <br /> as a book-entry system with DTC is used for determining beneficial ownership of bonds, if less than <br /> all of the Bonds within a maturity are to be redeemed, DTC shall determine by lot the amount of <br /> interest of each Direct Participant in the Bonds to be redeemed. If less than all of the Bonds then <br /> subject to redemption shall be called for redemption, the particular maturities and amounts of the <br /> Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be determined by the County. <br /> Notice of redemption shall be given by certified or registered mail to Cede & Co., DTC's nomi- <br /> nee, as the registered owner of the Bonds. Such notice shall be mailed not more than 60 days nor <br /> less than the 30 days prior to the date-fixed for redemption. The County-will not be responsible for <br /> mailing notices of redemption to anyone other than Cede'&Co. <br /> On the date fixed for redemption, notice having been given as hereinabove provided,the Bonds <br /> or portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and payable at the redemption price provided <br /> therefor, plus accrued interest to such date. If moneys sufficient to pay the redemption price of the <br /> Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemp- <br /> tion have been deposited by the County to be held in trust for the registered owners of the Bonds or <br /> portions thereof to be redeemed,interest on the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall <br /> cease to accrue, and the registered owner of such Bonds or portions thereof shall have no rights in <br /> respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof,including accrued interest <br /> to the date of redemption, and, if a portion of a Bond shall have been selected for redemption, a new <br /> Bond or Bonds of the same maturity,of any authorized denomination or denominations and bearing <br /> interest at the same rate for the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of such Bonds. <br /> • 2 <br />
