City of Miami Printed On: 9/29/2009
equal to the unredeemed portion of such Series 2009 Bond and of the maturity and bearing the
same interest rate will be issued. Any notice as provided herein shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given, whether or not the owner of the Series 2009 Bond receives such notice.
If at the time of mailing of notice of an optional redemption or purchase, the City shall
not have deposited with a Depositary or the Paying Agent moneys sufficient to redeem or
purchase all the Series 2009 Bonds called for redemption or purchase, such notice shall state that
it is subject to the deposit of the redemption or purchase moneys with the Depositary or Paying
Agent, as the case may be, not later than the opening of business on the redemption or purchase
date and, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, such notice shall be of no effect
unless such moneys are so deposited.
If the amount of funds deposited with the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as applicable,
for such redemption, or otherwise available, is insufficient to pay the redemption price and
accrued interest (with respect to Current Interest Bonds) on the Series 2009 Bonds so called for
redemption on the redemption date, the Paying Agent shall redeem and pay on such date an
amount of such Series 2009 Bonds for which such funds are sufficient, selecting the Series 2009
Bonds to be redeemed by lot from among all such Series 2009 Bonds called for redemption on
such date, and among different maturities of Series 2009 Bonds in the same manner as the initial
selection of Series 2009 Bonds to be redeemed, and from and after such redemption date, interest
(with respect to Current Interest Bonds) on the Series 2009 Bonds or portions thereof so paid
shall cease to accrue and become payable; but interest (with respect to Current Interest Bonds)
on any Series 2009 Bonds or portions thereof not so paid shall continue to accrue until paid at the
same rate as it would have had such Series 2009 Bonds not been called for redemption.
(b) In addition to the foregoing notice, the City shall cause further notice to be given
as set forth below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of
such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice
thereof is given as above prescribed:
(i) Each further notice of redemption shall be sent at least 35 days before the
redemption date by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
service to one or more registered securities depositaries then in the
business of holding substantial amounts of obligations of types
comparable to the Series 2009 Bonds and to one or more national
information services that disseminate notices of redemption of obligations
such as the Series 2009 Bonds (such as Financial Information, Inc.'s
Financial Daily Called Bond Service, Kenny Information Service's Called
Bond Service, Moody's Municipal and Government Called Bond Service
and Standard & Poor's Called Bond Record).
(ii) Upon the payment of the redemption price of Series 2009 Bonds being
redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose
shall bear the CUSIP number identifying, by issue and maturity, the Series
2009 Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other
transfer.
City of Miami Printed On: 9/29/2009
(c) In the case of an optional redemption, any notice of redemption may state that (1)
it is conditioned upon the deposit of moneys, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to
effect the redemption, with the Bond Registrar, Paying Agent or a Fiduciary acting as escrow
agent no later than the redemption date or (2) the City retains the right to rescind such notice on
or prior to the scheduled redemption date (in either case, a "Conditional Redemption"), and such
notice and optional redemption shall be of no effect if such moneys are not so deposited or if the
notice is rescinded as described in this subsection. Any such notice of Conditional Redemption
shall be captioned "Conditional Notice of Redemption." Any Conditional Redemption may be
rescinded at any time prior to the redemption date if the Finance Director delivers a written
direction to the Bond Registrar directing the Bond Registrar to rescind the redemption notice.
The Bond Registrar shall give prompt notice of such rescission to the affected Bondholders. Any
Bonds subject to Conditional Redemption where redemption has been rescinded shall remain
Outstanding, and neither the rescission nor the failure by the City to make such funds available
shall constitute an event of default under this Series Resolution. The Bond Registrar shall give
immediate notice to the securities information repositories and the affected Bondholders that the
redemption did not occur and that the Series 2009 Bonds called for redemption and not so paid
remain Outstanding.
Section 304 Effect of Calling for Redemption. On the date fixed for redemption,
notice having been mailed in the manner and under the conditions hereinabove stated, provided
that such notice of redemption has not been rescinded as permitted above, the Series 2009 Bonds
or portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and payable at the redemption price
provided therefor, plus accrued interest (with respect to Current Interest Bonds) to such date. If
on the date fixed for redemption money or Defeasance Obligations, or a combination of both,
sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Series 2009 Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued
interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, are held by a Depositary in trust for the Holders
of Series 2009 Bonds to be redeemed, interest (with respect to Current Interest Bonds) on the
Series 2009 Bonds called for redemption shall cease to accrue after the date fixed for
redemption; such Series 2009 Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any benefits or security under
the Resolution or to be deemed Outstanding; and the Holders of such Series 2009 Bonds shall
have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof, plus
accrued interest (with respect to Current Interest Bonds) to the date of redemption; provided, that
such notice of redemption has not been rescinded, as permitted above. Series 2009 Bonds and
portions of Series 2009 Bonds for which irrevocable instructions to pay or to call for redemption
on one or more specified dates have been given to the Depositary and the Bond Registrar in form
satisfactory to thein shall not thereafter be deemed to be Outstanding under the Resolution and
shall cease to be entitled to the security of or any rights under the Resolution, other than rights to
receive payment of the redemption price thereof and accrued interest thereon, to be given notice
of redemption in the manner provided in Section 303, and, to the extent hereinafter provided, to
receive Series 2009 Bonds for any unredeemed portions of Series 2009 Bonds, if money or
Defeasance Obligations, or a combination of both, sufficient to pay the redemption price of such
Series 2009 Bonds or portions thereof, together with accrued interest thereon to the date upon
which such Series 2009 Bonds are to be paid or redeemed, as set forth in Article XI of the
Original Resolution, are held in separate accounts by the Depositary in trust for the holders of
such Series 2009 Bonds.
City of Miami Printed On: 9/29/2009
Section 305 Redemption of Portion of Series 2009 Bonds. If a portion of an
Outstanding Series 2009 Bond shall be selected for redemption, the Holder thereof or such
Holder's attorney or legal representative shall present and surrender such Series 2009 Bond to
the Bond Registrar for payment of the principal amount thereof so called for redemption and the
redemption premium, if any, on such principal amount, and the City shall execute and the Bond
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of such registered owner or such
owner's legal representative, without charge therefor, for the unredeemed portion of the principal
amount of the Series 2009 Bond so surrendered, a Series 2009 Bond of the same maturity and
bearing interest at the same rate.
Section 306 Cancellation. Series 2009 Bonds so redeemed, presented and surrendered
shall be cancelled upon the surrender thereof. Series 2009 Bonds so cancelled shall be destroyed
by the Bond Registrar and a certificate of destruction shall be filed with the Finance Director by
the Bond Registrar.
