Bidding Details Bidders should be aware of the following bidding details associated with the sale of the Bonds: (1) BIDDERS MUST SUBMIT A GOOD FAITH CHECK OR WIRE TRANSFER IN THE AMOUNT OF $139,360, PAYABLE TO THE TOWNSHIP, NO LATER THAN 10:30 A.M. ON THE SALE DATE. HOWEVER, BIDDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT CHECKS OR WIRES ON THE DAY PRIOR TO THE SALE DATE TO ASSURE RECEIPT OF PAYMENT BY THE TOWNSHIP AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: Alicia Noon, CFO Township of Hillsborough 379 South Branch Road Hillsborough, NJ 08844 BIDDERS SUBMITTING GOOD FAITH CHECKS SHOULD ALSO ENCLOSE A RETURN ENVELOPE FOR USE BY THE TOWNSHIP. BIDDERS SUBMITTING A WIRE SHOULD CONTACT THE TOWNSHIP'S MUNICIPAL ADVISOR, HEATHER I. LITZEBAUER (TELEPHONE NO. 201-656-0115), TO OBTAIN THE WIRE INSTRUCTIONS. UNSUCCESSFUL BIDDERS SUBMITTING THE GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT BY WIRE TRANSFER SHALL, NO LATER THAN THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON THE SALE DATE OF THE BONDS, PROVIDE THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER IN WRITING WITH WIRING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RETURN OF SUCH UNSUCCESSFUL BIDDER'S GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. IN THE EVENT THAT THE TOWNSHIP FAILS TO RETURN ANY GOOD FAITH WIRES IN A TIMELY FASHION, THE TOWNSHIP SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR MONETARY DAMAGES, REMEDY BEING HEREBY SPECIFICALLY LIMITED TO SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. (2) All Bids must be submitted on PARITY. No telephone, telefax, telegraph or personal delivery Bids will be accepted. (3) All Bids for the Bonds must be submitted on an AON basis. Bidders may change and submit Bids as provided for herein, but a submitted Bid may not be withdrawn. (4) Bidders may bid to purchase Bonds from the Township with a bid premium in an amount not in excess of five percent (5%) of the par amount of the Bonds, representing a bid price of not in excess of $7,316,400. No Bid will be considered if the Bid is to purchase Bonds at a price less than 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Township may, and expects to, after the receipt and opening of bids, adjust the maturity schedule of the Bonds as set forth in more detail under "Principal Amortization" above. (5) Each proposal submitted must name the rate or rates of interest per annum to be borne by the Bonds and the rate or rates named must be multiples of 1/8 or 1/20 of 1%. The difference between the highest and lowest interest rates named in the Bid shall not exceed two percent (2%) per annum. Not more than one rate may be named for Bonds of the same maturity. There is no limitation on the number of rates that may be named. Each proposal submitted must state the purchase price, which must be not less than par. The Bonds will be awarded to the bidder on whose Bid the total loan may be made at the lowest true interest cost ("TIC"). Such TIC shall be calculated as described below. No proposal shall be considered that offers to pay an amount less than the principal amount of Bonds offered for sale or under which the total loan is made at a TIC higher than the lowest TIC to the Township under any legally acceptable proposal. The purchaser must also pay an amount equal to the interest on the Bonds accrued to the date of payment of the purchase price, if applicable. (6) Bidders are only permitted to submit Bids for the Bonds during the bidding period. Definitions "Bid" any confirmed purchase offer received by PARITY on or before the proposal submission deadline. "Bidder" any firm registered and approved for participation in sale. "True Interest Cost (TIC)" true interest cost shall be computed in each instance by determining the interest rate, compounded semi-annually, necessary to discount the debt service payments to the date of the bonds and to the price bid, excluding interest accrued to the Delivery Date. The TIC serves as the basis for awarding bonds to the winning bidder. "Winning Bid" any purchase offer made by a bidder and received by PARITY that, at the end of the bidding time period, results in the lowest TIC that is acceptable to the Township. Bid Procedure and Basis of Award Subject to the right reserved by the Township to reject any or all Bids, the Bonds will be sold to the bidder whose Bid produces the lowest TIC for the Township and otherwise complies with the Notice of Sale. Bids must remain valid until at least 3:00 p.m., prevailing time, on the Sale Date, and if accepted by the Township, prior to such time, shall be irrevocable except as otherwise provided in the Notice of Sale. Upon selection of the winning bidder, the Township will execute an award certificate to award the Bonds and will promptly communicate with the winning bidder by telephone, e-mail or fax. Bid Security and Method of Payment for Bonds A good faith deposit (the "Deposit") in the form of a certified or cashier's check or wire transfer (wiring instructions can be obtained from the Township's Municipal Advisor) in the amount of $139,360, payable to the order of the Township, is required for each Bid to be considered. If a check is used, it must be a certified treasurer's or cashier's check and must be provided to the Township prior to 10:30 a.m. on the Sale Date for bids to be submitted. If a wire transfer is used, such wire must be received by the Township prior to 10:30 a.m. on the Sale Date. Each bidder accepts responsibility for delivering such check or wire on time and the Township is not responsible for any check or wire that is not received on time. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the winning bidder. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. In the event the winning bidder fails to honor its accepted Bid, the Deposit will be retained by the Township. Award of the Bonds to the winning bidder or rejection of all Bids is expected to be made within two hours after opening of the bids, but such winning bidder may not withdraw its proposal until after 3:00 p.m. on the Sale Date and then only if such award has not been made prior to the withdrawal. The balance of the purchase price shall be paid in federal funds by wire transfer to the Township on or about the Delivery Date. Right to Reject Bids; Waive Irregularities The Township reserves the right to reject any and all Bids and, to the extent permitted by law, to waive any irregularity or informality in any Bid. Information Required from the Winning Bidder By making a bid for the Bonds, the winning bidder(s) agrees: (a) to provide to the Township, in writing, immediately upon being unofficially awarded the Bonds, a written confirmation of the Bid, which shall include the purchase price, reoffering yield(s) and other related information necessary for completion of the Final Official Statement by the Municipal Advisor and by Bond Counsel; (b) to disseminate to all members of the underwriting syndicate copies of the Final Official Statement; (c) to promptly file a copy of the Final Official Statement with the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board; and (d) to take any and all other actions necessary to comply with applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board rules governing the offering, sale and delivery of the Bonds to alternate purchasers. Establishment of Issue Price for the Bonds In the event the Township receives at least three (3) bids for the Bonds, then the issue price for the Bonds shall be established based on the reasonably expected initial offering prices of the Bonds as of the Sale Date (the "Expected Offering Prices"). The Expected Offering Prices shall consist of the prices for each maturity of the Bonds used by the winning bidder in formulating its bid to purchase the Bonds. The winning bidder shall be required to deliver on the Delivery Date a certificate to such effect and to provide to the Township, in writing, the Expected Offering Prices as of the Sale Date. In the event the Township receives fewer than three (3) bids for the Bonds, then the issue price for the Bonds shall be established based on the following method as selected by the winning bidder on the Sate Date: 10% Sold: The issue price for the Bonds shall be established based on the first price at which at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds was sold to the Public (as defined below). The winning bidder shall be required to deliver on the Delivery Date a certificate to such effect and to provide to the Township, in writing, evidence satisfactory to Bond Counsel to the Township of such sales prices for each maturity of the Bonds. In the event that the winning bidder has not sold at least 10% of each maturity of the Bonds to the Public as of the Delivery Date (each, an "Unsold Maturity"), the winning bidder shall (i) provide to the Township, in writing, on the Delivery Date, the Expected Offering Prices for each Unsold Maturity and a certificate regarding same and (ii) have a continuing obligation to provide to the Township, in writing, evidence satisfactory to Bond Counsel to the Township of the first price at which at least 10% of each Unsold Maturity is sold to the Public, contemporaneous with each such sale, until at least 10% of all such Unsold Maturities have been sold to the Public. Hold-the-Price: The issue price for the Bonds shall be established based on the initial offering price of the Bonds to the Public as of the Sale Date, provided that the winning bidder shall, in writing, (i) confirm that the Underwriters have offered or will offer the Bonds to the public on or before the Sale Date at the offering price or prices set forth in the Bid submitted by the Winning Bidder and (ii) agree, on behalf of the Underwriters participating in the purchase of the Bonds, that the Underwriters will neither offer nor sell the Bonds to any person at a price that is higher than the initial offering price to the Public during the period starting on the Sale Date and ending on the earlier of: (1) the close of the fifth (5th) business day after the sale date or (2) the date on which the Underwriters have sold at least 10% of the Bonds to the Public at a price that is no higher than the initial offering price to the Public. Public means any person (including an individual, trust, estate, partnership, association, company or corporation) other than an Underwriter (as defined herein) or a related party to an Underwriter. The term "related party" generally means any two or more persons who have greater than 50% common ownership, directly or indirectly. Underwriter means (i) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract with the Issuer (or with the lead underwriter to form an underwriting syndicate) to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public, and (ii) any person that agrees pursuant to a written contract directly or indirectly with a person described in clause (i) of this paragraph to participate in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public (including a member of a selling group or a party to a third-party distribution agreement participating in the initial sale of the Bonds to the Public). Delivery of the Bonds The Bonds will be delivered on or about the Delivery Date (UNLESS A NOTICE OF A CHANGE IN THE DELIVERY DATE IS PUBLISHED ON MUNIAUCTION NOT LATER THAN 2 HOURS PRIOR TO ANY ANNOUNCED DATE FOR RECEIPT OF BIDS) in New York City at DTC against payment of the purchase price therefor (less the amount of the good faith deposit) in federal funds. There will also be furnished the usual closing papers, including (1) a certificate signed by the officials who signed the Bonds stating that no litigation of any kind is now pending or, to their knowledge, threatened to restrain or enjoin the issuance or delivery of the Bonds, or in any manner questioning the proceedings and authorization under which the Bonds are issued or affecting the validity of the Bonds, and (2) a certificate signed by the Township relating to the Final Official Statement. CUSIP Numbers The Municipal Advisor will apply for CUSIP numbers with respect to the Bonds, but neither the Municipal Advisor nor the Township will assume any obligation for the assignment or printing of such numbers on the Bonds or for the correctness of such numbers, and neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the winning bidder to accept delivery of and make payment for the Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of the CUSIP numbers shall be the responsibility of and shall be paid for by the winning bidder. Legal Opinion The approving opinion of McManimon, Scotland & Baumann, LLC, Bond Counsel to the Township, will be furnished without cost to the winning bidder. Postponement The Township reserves the right to postpone, from time to time, the date and time established for receipt of Bids. ANY SUCH POSTPONEMENT WILL BE PUBLISHED OR POSTED BEFORE 10:00 A.M. ON THE SALE DATE. If any date fixed for the receipt of Bids and the sale of the Bonds is postponed, an alternative sale date will be announced via PARITY at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such alternative sale date. On any such alternative sale date, any bidder may submit a Bid for the purchase of the Bonds in conformity in all respects with the provisions of the Notice of Sale, except for the date of sale and except for the changes announced on PARITY at the time the sale date and time are announced.
