Book-Entry-Only System. The Notes and the Bonds (the "Securities") shall be initially registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC and no beneficial owner will receive certificates representing their interests in the Securities. During the term of the Securities, so long as the book-entry-only system is continued, the City will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to DTC or its nominee as the Registered Owner of the Securities, DTC will make book-entry-only transfers among its participants and receive and transmit payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to is participants who shall be responsible for transmitting payments to beneficial owners of the Securities in accordance with agreements between such participants and the beneficial owners. The City will not be responsible for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by DTC, its participants or persons acting through such participants. In the event that (i) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Securities, or (ii) the City determines that continuation of the book-entry-only form of evidence and transfer of ownership of the Securities would adversely affect the interests of the beneficial owners of the Securities, the City will discontinue the book-entry-only form of registration with DTC. If the City fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace DTC, the City will cause to be authenticated and delivered to the beneficial owners replacement Securities in the form of fully registered certificates. Reference is made to the Preliminary Official Statement for further information regarding the book-entry-only system of registration of the Securities and DTC.

Ratings. The City has applied to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. for ratings on the Securities.

CUSIP Numbers. CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on or assigned to the Securities, but neither the failure to print such number on or assign such number to any Security nor any error with respect thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser thereof to accept delivery of and pay for the Securities in accordance with the terms of this Notice. All expenses in relation to the assignment and printing of CUSIP numbers on the Securities will be paid by the City.

Delivery and Payment. The City will pay for printing the Securities and will deliver the Securities properly prepared, executed and registered without cost on or about September 28, 2006, at DTC for the account(s) of the successful bidder(s). The successful bidders will be furnished with a certified transcript of the proceedings evidencing the authorization and issuance of the Securities and the usual closing documents, including a certificate that there is no litigation pending or threatened at the time of delivery of the Securities affecting their validity and a certificate regarding the completeness and accuracy of the Official Statement. Payment for the Securities shall be made in federal reserve funds, immediately available for use by the City.

Certification as to Offering Prices. To provide the City with information necessary for compliance with Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the successful bidders will be required to complete, execute and deliver to the City prior to the delivery of the Securities, a certificate regarding the "issue price" of the Securities (as defined in Section 148 of the Code), reflecting the initial offering prices (excluding accrued interest and expressed as dollar prices) at which a substantial amount (i.e., 10% or more) of the Notes or Bonds of each maturity have been or are expected to be sold to the public.

Such certificate shall state that 10% or more of the Notes or Bonds of each maturity have been or are expected to be sold to the public at prices no higher than such initial offering prices. However, such certificate may indicate that the successful bidder will not offer the Securities for sale to the public.

Each bidder agrees that, if it is awarded the Notes, it will provide the certification as to initial offering prices described under the caption "Certification as to Offering Price" in this Notice.

Good Faith Deposit.

For the Notes: A good faith deposit is not required for bids on the Notes.

For the Bonds: Each bid for the Bonds shall be accompanied by a good faith deposit (the Deposit") in the amount of 2% of the principal amount of the Bonds payable to the order of the City to secure the City from any loss resulting from the failure of the bidder to comply with the terms of its bid. The Deposit may be in the form of a certified or cashier's check drawn on a bank located in the United States of America or a financial surety bond (the "Surety Bond") and shall be delivered to the City at the address hereinafter set forth. All Surety Bonds must be from an insurance or surety company rated "AAA" by Standard and Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc., and "Aaa" by Moody's Investors Service and licensed to issue such a surety bond in the State of Kansas. The Surety Bond must be submitted to the City prior to the Submittal Hour on the Sale Date and must identify each bidder whose deposit is guaranteed by such Surety Bond. Good Faith checks submitted by unsuccessful bidders will be returned. If the sale of the Bonds is awarded to a bidder utilizing a Surety Bond, the successful bidder is required to submit to the City a cashier's or certified check or wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to such financial institution requested by the City, not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Daylight Time on the next business day following the Sale Date. If such funds are not received by such time, the Surety Bond may be drawn on by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. No interest on the Deposit will be paid by the City. If a bid is accepted, the Deposit, or the proceeds thereof, will be held by the City until the successful bidder has complied with all of the terms and conditions of this Notice at which time the amount of said Deposit shall be returned to the successful bidder or deducted from the purchase price at the option of the City. If a bid is accepted but the City fails to deliver the Bonds to the successful bidder in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Notice, said Deposit, or the proceeds thereof, will be returned to the successful bidder. If a bid is accepted but the bidder defaults in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Notice, the proceeds of such Deposit will be retained by the City as and for liquidated damages.

Basis of Award.

For the Notes: The award of the Notes will be made on the basis of the lowest net interest cost (expressed in dollars), which will be determined by subtracting the amount of the premium bid, if any, from or adding the amount of the discount bid, if any, to the total interest cost to the City. If there is any discrepancy between the net interest cost specified and the interest rates specified, the specified net interest cost shall govern and the interest rates specified in the bid shall be adjusted accordingly. If two or more proper bids providing for identical amounts for the lowest net interest cost are received, the governing body of the City will determine which bid, if any, will be accepted, and its determination is final.

For the Bonds: The award of the Bonds will be made on the basis of the lowest true interest cost ("TIC"), which will be determined as follows: the TIC is the discount rate (expressed as a per annum percentage rate) which, when used in computing the present value of all payments of principal and interest to be paid on the Bonds, from the payment dates to the Dated Date, produces an amount equal to the price bid, including any adjustments for premium, if any. Present value will be computed on the basis of semiannual compounding and a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Bidders are requested to supply an estimate of the TIC for the Bonds on the Official Bid Form, computed as specified herein on the basis of their respective bids, which shall be considered as informative only and not binding on either the bidder or the City. If there is any discrepancy between the true interest cost specified and the bid price and interest rates specified, the specified bid price and interest rates shall govern and the true interest rates specified in the bid shall be adjusted accordingly. If two or more proper bids providing for identical amounts for the lowest TIC are received, the governing body of the City will determine which bid, if any, will be accepted, and its determination is final.

The City reserves the right to reject any and/or all bids and to waive any irregularities in a submitted bid. Any bid for the Notes received after 11:00 a.m. on the Sale Date and any bid for the Bonds received after 11:30 a.m. on the Sale Date will be returned to the bidder. Any disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by the laws of Kansas, and any party submitting a bid agrees to be subject to jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts within Kansas with regard to such dispute.
