The Bonds will be issued as fully registered bonds in denominations of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) and any integral multiples thereof, not exceeding the aggregate principal amount of such Bonds maturing in any one year, and when issued, will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), New York, New York. Purchasers of beneficial interests in the Bonds will not receive physical delivery of bond certificates and ownership by the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds will be evidenced by book-entry only. As long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Bonds as nominee of DTC, payments of principal and interest will be made directly to such registered owner, which will in turn, remit such payments to the DTC Participants for subsequent disbursement to the Beneficial Owners. None of the Building Corporation, the Registrar and the Paying Agent shall have any liability for the failure of DTC or any DTC Participant to remit the payment or provide any notice to any Beneficial Owner of Bonds.
The Bonds shall be numbered consecutively from 15R-1 upward, shall bear an original issue date which shall be the day on which the Bonds are delivered and shall mature serially on January 15 and July 15 of each year beginning not earlier than January 15, 2016, and ending not later than January 15, 2024, according to the principal maturity schedule for the Bonds, which will be provided by the Financial Advisor on behalf of the Building Corporation at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the date and time of sale to those potential bidders who have requested notice thereof (following the receipt of bids and determination of the successful bidder, the Building Corporation reserves the right to modify individual maturity amounts to provide sufficient funding of the escrow account that will be established to currently refund the Prior Bonds (as defined herein) to achieve level debt service with respect to the Bonds).
Principal and premium, if any, on the Bonds will be payable at Regions Bank in Indianapolis, Indiana, which shall serve as the Registrar and Paying Agent for the Bonds (the "Registrar" and the "Paying Agent") and as Trustee under the Trust Indenture by and between Building Corporation and the Trustee. Interest on the Bonds will be paid by check or draft mailed or delivered to the registered owner thereof at the address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar as of the last day of the month immediately preceding the interest payment date or at such other address as is provided to the Paying Agent in writing by such registered owner. So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the Bonds, principal of and interest on the Bonds will be paid directly by the Paying Agent to DTC as provided hereinabove.
The Bonds will be designated "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.
The Bonds are not redeemable prior to maturity.
At the option of the successful bidder for the Bonds, all or a portion of the Bonds may be aggregated into one or more term bonds (the "Term Bonds") payable from mandatory sinking fund redemption payments required to be made as set forth in the resolution authorizing the Bonds. The Term Bonds shall have a stated maturity or maturities on January 15 and July 15 in the years as identified on the final maturity schedule as set forth above, as determined by the successful bidder. The Bonds may be transferred or exchanged at the principal corporate trust office of the Registrar, subject to the terms and conditions of the ordinance authorizing the Bonds.

Bids may be submitted electronically via PARITY in accordance with this Notice of Intent to Sell, until 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of sale, but no bid will be received after that time. To the extent any instructions or directions set forth in PARITY conflict with this Notice of Intent to Sell, the terms of this Notice of Intent to Sell shall control. For further information about PARITY, potential bidders may contact the Financial Advisor or iDeal LLC at 1359 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10018, telephone (212) 849-5021.
Sealed bids may be submitted to the offices of the Financial Advisor at the address described above until 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on the date of sale. Upon completion of the bidding procedures described herein, the results of the sealed, non-electronic bids received shall be compared to the electronic bids received by the Financial Advisor for and on behalf of the Building Corporation.
Each bid must be for all of the Bonds and must state the rate or rates of interest therefor, not exceeding the maximum per annum interest rates hereinbefore specified. Such interest rate or rates must be in multiples of oneeighth (1/8) or one-hundredth (1/100) of one percent (1.0%). Bids specifying more than one interest rate must also specify the amount and maturities of the Bonds bearing each rate. All Bonds maturing on the same date shall bear the same rate of interest and the interest rate bid on any maturity of Bonds shall be equal to or greater than the interest rate bid on any and all prior maturities of Bonds. Subject to the provisions contained herein, the award will be made to the bidder offering the lowest interest cost, to be determined by computing the total interest on all Bonds from the date thereof to the date of maturity and deducting therefrom the premium bid, if any, or adding thereto the amount of any discount, if any. Although not a term of sale, it is requested that each bid show the net dollar cost to final maturity and the net effective average interest rate on the entire issue.
No conditional bid or bids for less than ninety-nine percent (99%) of the par value of the Bonds, plus accrued interest at the rate or rates named to the date of delivery, will be considered. The Building Corporation reserves the right to reject any and all bids. If no acceptable bid is received on the date fixed for sale of the Bonds, the sale may be continued from day to day thereafter without further advertisement for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, but if so continued, no bid will be accepted which offers an interest cost which is equal to or higher than the best bid received at the time fixed for the sale.
Each of the bids for the Bonds submitted shall be sealed in an envelope marked "Bid for City of Warsaw, Indiana, Building Corporation Lease Rental Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2015." Each bid must be on the form approved by the Building Corporation, without additions, alterations or erasures, which form may be obtained from the Building Corporation’s Financial Advisor at the address set forth herein.
The Building Corporation reserves the right to amend any information contained in this Notice of Intent to Sell. The Building Corporation also reserves the right to postpone, from time to time, the date established for the receipt of bids on the Bonds. If any date fixed for the sale of the Bonds is postponed, any alternative sale date will be announced at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such alternative sale date.
A good faith deposit (the "Deposit") in the form of cash, certified check, cashier’s check or wire transfer in the amount of one percent (1.0%) of the principal amount of the Bonds made payable to the order of the Building Corporation is required to be submitted by the successful purchaser (the "Purchaser") not later than 3:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the Building Corporation may reject the bid. No interest on the Deposit will accrue to the Purchaser. The Deposit will be applied to the purchase price of the Bonds. In the event the Purchaser fails to honor its accepted bid, the Deposit will be retained by the Building Corporation as liquidated damages.
In the event the bidder to whom the Bonds are awarded shall fail or refuse to comply with the provisions of the bid and this notice, such Deposit shall become the property of the Building Corporation and shall be taken and considered as liquidated damages of the Building Corporation on account of such failure or refusal.
The successful bidder will be required to make payment for the Bonds in Federal Reserve or other immediately available funds and accept delivery of the Bonds within five (5) days after being notified that the Bonds are ready for delivery, at a bank designated by the Building Corporation. Any premium bid must be paid in cash at the time of delivery as a part of the purchase price for the Bonds. The Bonds will be ready for delivery within fortyfive (45) days after the date on which the award is made, and if not deliverable within that period, the successful bidder will be entitled to rescind the sale and the good faith check will be returned. Any notice of rescission must be in writing. At the request of the Building Corporation, the successful bidder shall furnish to the Building Corporation, simultaneously with or before delivery of the Bonds, a certificate in form satisfactory to the Building Corporation regarding the initial public offering price of the Bonds. In addition, the successful bidder shall inform the Financial Advisor to the Building Corporation of such initial public offering price within two business days after the date of sale.
It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bonds 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.
The Bonds are being issued under the provisions of Indiana Code 36-1-10 and 5-1-5 to provide funds which the Building Corporation may apply to the refunding of the Building Corporation’s Lease Rental Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 2005 (the "Prior Bonds"), together with the expenses necessarily incurred in connection therewith, including the expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. The Building Corporation will not be obligated to pay the Bonds or the interest thereon except from the (i) net revenues of the City's sewage works; (ii) the City's distributive share of the Kosciusko County Economic Development Income Tax Revenues; and (iii) certain tax increment revenues received by the Warsaw Redevelopment Commission from the Northern Economic Development Area. The Bonds shall not constitute a debt for which the full faith and credit or taxing powers of the City will be pledged. The Bonds shall rank on a parity basis with: (x) the City of Warsaw, Indiana ("the City") Sewage Works Revenue Bonds of 2008, dated July 1, 2008, presently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $1,910,000; (y) the City's Sewage Works Revenue Bonds of 2011, dated December 28, 2011, presently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $4,080,000; and (z) the City's Sewage Works Revenue Bonds of 2013, dated August 7, 2013, presently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of $4,575,000.
At the time of delivery of the Bonds the approving opinion of Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, bond counsel, of South Bend, Indiana, as to the validity of the Bonds, together with a transcript of Bond proceedings, the printed Bonds with such legal opinion printed thereon, and closing certificates in the customary form showing no litigation, will be furnished to the successful bidder at the expense of the Building Corporation. In addition, unless bond counsel is able, on the date of delivery, to render an opinion to the effect that, under existing law (1) the interest on the Bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes and the Bonds are not "private activity bonds" under Section 141 of the Code, and (2) the interest on the Bonds is exempt from taxation in the State of Indiana for all purposes except the Indiana financial institutions tax and the Indiana inheritance tax, the successful bidder shall have the right to rescind the sale, and in such event the good faith deposit will be returned.
A copy of the Preliminary Official Statement prepared at the direction of the Building Corporation may be obtained by request from the Financial Advisor, H.J. Umbaugh and Associates Certified Public Accountants, LLP, 8365 Keystone Crossing, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana 46240, prior to bid opening. Said Preliminary Official Statement will be in a form deemed final by the Building Corporation, pursuant to Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Rule").
The Preliminary Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the interest rates of the Bonds, and any other information referred to in paragraph (b)(1) of the Rule, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the Building Corporation with respect to the Bonds, as that term is defined in the Rule.

Any underwriter executing and delivering an Official Bid Form with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its bid is accepted by the Building Corporation (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.
In order to assist bidders in complying with paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule, the Building Corporation and the City will undertake, pursuant to the Continuing Disclosure Agreement to be executed by the Building Corporation and the City which shall be delivered to the successful bidder at the closing on the Bonds, to provide annual reports, certain financial information, and notices of certain events as required by Section (b)(5) of the Rule.
