                | (3) | If for any reason Bidder is disconnected from Auction Page during
                  an auction after having submitted a Winning Bid, bid is valid

                  is corrected and bid is resubmitted. |  
                | (5) | Bidders accept and agree to abide by all terms and
                  conditions specified in Notice (including Amendments,
                  if any) related to each auction. |  
                | (6) | Northland Securities, Inc. is not responsible for any defect or inaccuracy
                  in the Notice, Amendments, and Preliminary Official
                  Statement, as applicable, as
                  they appear on NSIauction. |  
                | (7) | Only Bidders who request and receive admission to an auction may submit bids.
                       Northland Securities, Inc. reserves right to deny access to NSIauction

                  or  same True Interest Cost (in all-or-none auction),
                  first confirmed bid received by NSIauction
                  prevails, unless stated otherwise in related Notice.  Any
                  change
                  to a submitted bid constitutes a new bid,
                  regardless of whether there is a corresponding change
                  in True Interest Cost or Yield-to-Maturity. |  
                | (10) | Bidders must compare their final bids to those shown on the Observation

                  results shown on Observation Pages they must report them to NSIauction
                  within 15 minutes after the auction ends.  Regardless of the final results
                  reported by NSIauction, and regardless of verbal award by the MBM
                  Clearing Agent, as applicable, Bonds are definitively awarded to
                  winning bidders only upon official award by the Issuer.  If, for any

              within two (2) minutes prior to the scheduled end of the auction, then the 
              auction will be automatically extended for two (2) minutes from the time such 
              new leading bid was received by NSIauction.  The auction end time will 
              continue to be extended, indefinitely, until all leading bid(s) remain the 
              leading bid(s) for at least two minutes, unless an absolute end time is 
              stipulated in the Notice. |
