Any other rating <br />agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser. <br />Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the <br />purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on <br />the Bonds. <br />REGISTRAR <br />The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City <br />will pay for the services of the registrar. <br />CUSIP NUMBERS <br />If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the <br />Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect <br />thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the <br />Bonds.

On the date of settlement <br />payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds which shall be received at <br />the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon, Central Time.
