 (a)  The Bonds shall be subject to redemption at the option of the GID from any legally available funds on the dates set forth in the Sales Certificate in whole, or in part from any maturities, in any order of maturity and by lot within a maturity in such manner as the GID may determine, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of each Bond, or portion thereof, so redeemed and accrued interest thereon to the redemption date, plus a premium of not more than 3% as set forth in the Sales Certificate.

Any Assessment that is prepaid shall be used to redeem Bonds on the next interest payment date that is at least 45 days after receipt of such prepayment; provided that the amount of any such prepaid Assessment that is less than $5,000 and cannot be used by such interest payment date to redeem Bonds may be used to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds due on such interest payment date; and provided further that all or any portion of such prepaid Assessment may be used to pay principal of or interest on the Bonds if necessary to avoid or cure a default in payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds. The Paying Agent shall not be required to give notice of any such redemption unless it has received written instructions from the GID in regard thereto at least twenty days prior to such redemption date; provided, that the Paying Agent may waive said twenty-day requirement.

3.  Section 2 of the Assessment Ordinance, “Payment of Assessments,” is deleted and replace in its entirety with the following:

The Board may in its discretion waive or lower the prepayment premium if the bonds to be issued to finance the Project may be redeemed without a prepayment premium of 3%.

4.  All bylaws, orders, resolutions and ordinances of the City, or parts thereof, inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed to the extent only of such inconsistency as applicable to this matter only. This section shall not be construed to revive any other such bylaw, order, resolution or ordinance of the City, or part thereof, heretofore repealed.
