published at least once in each of two (2) consecutive weeks prior
to the date fixed for such sale in a newspaper having a general
circulation in the State of Oklahoma and at least once not less than
twenty (20) days prior to the date fixed for such sale in a

also state that the bonds will be sold to the bidder bidding the
lowest interest cost to the State of Oklahoma, such cost to be
determined by deducting the total amount of any premium bid from the
aggregate amount of interest on all of the bonds from their date
until their respective maturities, stating also, however, that the
Commission may, in its discretion, reject all bids submitted and
readvertise the bonds for sale. Such notice may contain such other
conditions, information and details as the Commission deems
appropriate and desirable to secure understanding of the offer and
to assure maximum competition between bidders. Upon acceptance of
any bid (which shall name the interest rate or rates, not exceeding
five percent (5%) per annum), the bonds shall be issued in
accordance therewith and shall be delivered to said purchaser upon
payment of the purchase price thereof, which shall be not less than
par plus accrued interest to date of delivery; provided, however,
that no tender of the bonds shall be valid until after the
expiration of the period of contestability provided for herein. All
bidders shall be required to submit with their bids such good faith
deposit as may to the Commission seem appropriate. Upon the
acceptance of a bid, the Commission shall return to all of the
unsuccessful bidders the deposits so made by them. All such
deposits by the successful bidder shall become the property of the
State of Oklahoma, and shall be credited upon the purchase price of
the bonds so sold and with the further agreement that if the
purchaser shall fail for five (5) days after the tender of the bonds
to pay the balance of the purchase price, said sale shall be thereby
annulled and the deposit shall in such event be retained by the
State of Oklahoma and credited to the General Revenue Fund of the
state.
