If it is determined that one or more, but not all of the $5,000 units of principal amount represented by a Bond are to be called for redemption, then ,....., upon notice of redemption of a $5,000 unit or units, the registered owner of L. that Bond shall surrender the Bond to the Bond Registrar (1) for payment of the redemption price of the $5,000 unit or units called for redemption (including, without limitation, the interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any premium), and (ii) for issuance, without charge to the registered owner thereof, of a new Bond or Bonds of any authorized denomination or denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date as, the Bond surrendered.

If money for the redemption of all of the Bonds and portions thereof to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, is held by the Bond Registrar on the redemption date, so as to be available therefor on that date and, if notice of redemption has been deposited in the mail as aforesaid, then from and after the redemption date those Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and no longer shall be considered to be outstanding. If that money shall not be so available on the redemption date, or that notice shall not have been deposited in the mail as aforesaid, those Bonds and portions thereof shall continue to bear interest, until they are paid, at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption.

If the Director of Finance does not or is unable to do so, the Director of Finance, after making provision for notification of the beneficial owners by the then Depository and any other arrangements deemed necessary, shall permit withdrawal of the Bonds from the Depository, and authenticate and deliver bond certificates in registered form to the assigns of the Depository or its nominee, all at the cost and expense ( including any costs of printing), if the event is not the result of City action or inaction, of those persons requesting such issuance.

The City further represents that the Bonds are not being issued as part of a direct or indirect composite issue that combines issues or lots of tax-exempt obligations of different issuers. Each covenant made in this section with respect to the Bonds is also made with respect to all issues any portion of the debt service on which is paid from proceeds of the Bonds (and, if different, the original issue and any refunding issues in a series of refundings) , to the extent such compliance is necessary to assure exclusion of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and the officers ident if ied above are authorized to t.ake actions with respect to those issues as they are authorized in this section to take with respect to the Bonds.

SUPPLEMENTAL FISCAL OFFICER'S CERTIFICATE To the Council of the City of Dublin, Ohio: "'-"'''' As fiscal officer of the City of Dublin, and supplementing my certificate of May 4, 1992, I certify in connection with your proposed issue of $4,100,000 bonds (the Bonds) for the purpose of paying costs of providing additional facilities at the Coffman Park Municipal Complex for the conduct of municipal government operations by constructing, furnishing and equipping a new police facility, and acquiring real estate and interests in real estate and making site improvements thereon (the improvement) , that: 1- The estimated life or period of usefulness of the improvement is at least five years. 2. The maximum maturity of the Bonds is December 1, 2011. That maximum maturity is based on my calculation of the average number of years of life or period of usefulness of the improvement as measured by the weighted average of the amounts proposed to be expended for the several classes of the improvement as follows: $890,000 for land acquisition, thirty years; $4,083,490 for buildings and other structures, twenty-five years; and $2,026,510 for equipment, furnishings and site improvements, ten years; the weighted average is therefore twenty years. The Bonds are to be paid from voted taxes approved by the electors of the City and the voters approved those taxes and the Bonds for a period of twenty years. The first installment of bonds issued pursuant to that voter approval was issued to mature on December 1 in years 1992 through 2011; thus, the maximum maturity of the Bonds is December 1, 2001.
