Interest shall be paid by wire transfer upon the written request of the owner of Bonds aggregating not less than$1,000,000 in principal amount, given no later than the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. PURPOSE OF ISSUE: The Bonds are authorized by a vote of two-thirds of the qualified voters of the District voting at a special bond election for the purpose of raising money for authorized school purposes. SECURITY: The Bonds represent the general obligation solely of the District, payable from ad valorem taxes levied upon all property within the District subject to taxation by the District, without limitation of rate or amount (except certain personal property, which is taxable at limited rates). The Board of Supervisors of the County of Contra Costa has the power and is obligated to levy said taxes for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon. sF2-55499.1 4 41Wn-14MR-02n2/96 TAX MATTERS: In the opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, San Francisco, California, based on existing statutes, regulations, rulings and court decisions, and assuming, among other matters, compliance with certain covenants contained in the resolutions providing for the issuance of the Bonds, the interest received by the owners of the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and is exempt from State of California personal income taxes. See the discussion of Tax Matters in the Oficial Statement hereinafter referred to. In the event that prior to the delivery of the Bonds (a) the income received by private holders from bonds of the same type and character shall be declared to be includablein gross income (either at the time of such declaration or at any future date) for purposes of federal income tax laws, either by the terms of such laws or by ruling of a federal income tax authority or official which is followed by the Internal Revenue.Service, or by decision of any federal court, or (b) any federal income tax law is adopted which will have a substantial adverse tax effect on holders of the Bonds as such, the successful bidder may, at its option, prior to the tender of the Bonds by the District, be relieved of its obligation to purchase the Bonds, and in such case the deposit accompanying its bid will be returned. For purposes of the preceding sentence, interest will be treated as excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes whether or not it is includable as an item of tax preference for calculating alternative minimum taxes or otherwise includable for purposes of calculating certain other tax liabilities. LEGAL OPINION: The legal opinion of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, San Francisco, California, approving the validity of the Bonds, will be furnished to the successful bidder upon delivery of the Bonds. Copies of said opinion will be filed with DTC and with the Paying Agent. TERMS OF SALE Highest Bid: The Bonds will be awarded to the responsible bidder submitting the highest responsive bid, considering the interest rate or rates specified and the premium offered, if any. The highest bid will be the bid which represents the lowest True Interest Cost ("TIC") to the District. The TIC will be the nominal interest rate which, when compounded semiannually and used to discount all debt service payments on the Bonds to the date of the Bonds, results in an amount equal to the price bid for the Bonds. In the event that two or more bidders offer bids at the same lowest TIC, the District will determine by lot which bidder will be awarded the Bonds. For the purpose of calculating the TIC, the mandatory sinking fund payments, if any (see "REDE1Vi MON--Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption" above), shall be treated as serial maturities in such years. The determination of the bid representing the lowest TIC will be made without regard to any adjustments made or contemplated to be made after the award by the Treasurer, as described herein under "ADJUSTMENT OF PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS", even if such adjustments have the effect of raising the TIC of the successful bid to a level higher than the bid containing the next lowest TIC prior to adjustment. Form of Bid: Each bid must be for not less than all of the Bonds hereby offered for sale and must be for not less than the par value thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of delivery, plus such premium as is specified in the bid, and no bid will be accepted which SF2-55498.1 5 41877-1�iMH-02/22/96 contemplates the waiver of any interest or other concession by the bidder as a substitute for payment in full of the purchase price.

If the Bonds are awarded to a bidder submitting a financial surety bond, then said successful bidder is required to submit its Deposit to the Treasurer in the form of a cashier's check(meeting the requirements set forth above) or by wire transfer not later than 3:00 p.m. on the next business day following the award.

The District's actual damages.in such event may be greater or may be less than the amount of the Deposit. Each bidder waives any right to claim that the District's,actual damages are less than such amount.

It is anticipated that such CUSIP numbers will be printed on the Bonds being delivered to DTC, but neither the failure to print such number on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute.cause for a failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in accordance with the terms and conditions of its bid.
