6 <br />requirements of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the <br />Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. <br /> <br />(2) As of the date of its bid and as of the date of delivery of the Bonds, all <br />members of the bidder’s syndicate either participate in DTC or clear through or maintain <br />a custodial relationship with an entity that participates in DTC. <br /> <br />BEST BID: The Bonds will be awarded to the responsible bidder or bidders offering to <br />purchase the Bonds at the lowest true interest cost (“TIC”) to the Authority. The TIC is the <br />nominal annual interest rate which, when compounded semiannually using a 360-day year, and <br />used to discount all debt service payments on the Bonds from each maturity’s stated maturity <br />dates to the dated date of the Bonds (assumed to be March 1, 2017), results in an amount <br />equal to the purchase price for the Bonds to be received by the Authority (par value less any <br />discount or plus any premium). In the event that two or more bidders offer bids at the same <br />lowest TIC, the Authority will determine by lot which bidder will be awarded the Bonds. For the <br />purpose of calculating the TIC, the mandatory sinking fund payments, if any (see “SINKING <br />FUND REDEMPTION” above), shall be treated as serial maturities in such years. The <br />determination of the bid representing the lowest TIC will be made without regard to any <br />adjustments made or contemplated to be made after the award to the lowest bidder, as <br />described herein under “ADJUSTMENT OF PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS AND OF MATURITIES”, <br />even if such adjustments have the effect of raising the TIC of the successful bid to a level higher <br />than the bid containing the next lowest TIC prior to adjustment. Bid evaluations or rankings <br />made by Parity are not binding on the Authority. Each bidder is requested, but not required, to <br />state in its bid the percentage true interest cost to the Authority, which shall be considered as <br />informative only and shall not be binding on either the bidder or the Authority. The determination <br />of the best bid by the Authority shall be binding and conclusive on all bidders. <br /> <br />RIGHT OF CANCELLATION OF SALE BY THE AUTHORITY: The Authority reserves <br />the right, in its sole discretion, at any time to cancel the public sale of the Bonds. In such event, <br />the Authority shall cause notice of cancellation of this invitation for bids and the public sale of <br />the Bonds to be communicated through Parity as promptly as practicable. However, no failure to <br />publish such notice or any defect or omission therein shall affect the cancellation of the public <br />sale of the Bonds. <br /> <br />RIGHT TO MODIFY OR AMEND: The Authority reserves the right, in its sole discretion, <br />to modify or amend this official Notice of Sale including, but not limited to, the right to adjust and <br />change the principal amount and principal amortization schedule of the Bonds being offered; <br />provided, however, such modifications or amendments shall be made not later than 1:00 P.M., <br />Pacific Daylight time, on the business day prior to the bid opening and communicated through <br />Parity as soon as practical following such modification or amendment. <br /> <br />RIGHT OF POSTPONEMENT BY THE AUTHORITY: The Authority reserves the right, <br />in its sole discretion, to postpone, from time to time, the date and/or the time established for the <br />receipt of bids. Any such postponement will be communicated through Parity not later than <br />10:00 A.M., Pacific Daylight time, on the business day prior to any announced date for receipt of <br />bids. If any date is postponed, any alternative sale date will be announced through Parity at <br />least 24 hours prior to such alternative sale date. On any such alternative sale date, any bidder <br />may submit a bid for the purchase of the Bonds in conformity in all respects with the provisions <br />of this Official Notice of Sale, except for the date of sale and except for the changes announced <br />by through Parity at the time the sale date and time are announced. <br /> <br />8.C. - Page 198
