<br /> 6 <br />“Participant” shall mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which <br />DTC holds bonds as securities depository. <br />“Representation Letter” shall mean the Representation Letter pursuant to which the City agrees to comply with DTC’s Operational Arrangements. <br />(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as separately authenticated fully registered bonds, <br />and one Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon <br />initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the City may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be <br />redeemed, if any, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of <br />Bonds under this resolution, registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Registrar nor the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any <br />Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the Bond Register as being a registered <br />owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of Bonds under this resolution, with respect to the selection by <br />DTC or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of <br />the Bonds, or with respect to any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. So long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to such Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with DTC’s Operational Arrangements, <br />and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s <br />obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to <br />substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new <br />nominee in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. <br />(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of physical certificates, the City may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC <br />of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance <br />with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. <br />(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC, if not previously <br />filed with DTC, by the Mayor or City Administrator is hereby authorized and directed.
