*Adjustment of Issue Size

The Issuer reserves the right to increase or decrease the total principal amount of the Bonds, depending on the purchase price and interest rates bid and the offering prices specified by the Successful Bidder and savings generated in connection with the refunding of certain general obligation bonds of the Issuer (the “Refunded Bonds”). The principal amount of any maturity may be adjusted by the Issuer in order to properly size the Bond, structure certain funds and accounts and substantially obtain debt service parameters determined by the Issuer. In formulating bids, bidders should consider that bids generating significant premium may lead to post-bid revisions by the Issuer as described above, resulting in greater principal amortization in later years, and bids generating significant discount my lead to post-bid revisions by the Issuer as described above, resulting in greater principal amortization in earlier years. The Successful Bidder may not withdraw its bid or change the interest rates bid as a result of any changes made to the principal amount of the Bonds or principal of any maturity as described herein. If there is an increase or decrease in the final aggregate principal amount of the Bonds or the schedule of principal payments as described above, the Issuer will notify the Successful Bidder by means of telephone or facsimile transmission, subsequently confirmed in writing, no later than 12:00 p.m. (CST) on the Sale Date. The actual purchase price for each series of Bonds shall be calculated by applying the percentage of par value bid by the Successful Bidder against the final aggregate principal amount of such series of Bonds, as adjusted. If the principal amounts are modified, the Issuer will seek to modify the maturity schedule, or make other mutually agreeable changes, in a way that will neither increase nor reduce the Successful Bidder’s spread as a percentage of the principal amount of the Bonds issued, after taking into account such adjustments.
