So long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, <br />the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with <br />respect to such Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with the Representation Letter, and all <br />such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations <br />with respect to the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so <br />paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated <br />maturity evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon <br />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 (d) hereof. <br />(c) In the event the City determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners <br />that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the City may notify DTC and <br />the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of <br />Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance <br />with paragraph (d) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with <br />respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and discharging its <br />responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be <br />transferable in accordance with paragraph (d) hereof. <br />(d) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under paragraph (b) <br />or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar of <br />the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted <br />transferee in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. In the event Bonds in the form of <br />certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as <br />owner of all the Bonds, or another securities depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions <br />of this resolution shall also apply to all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the <br />printing of such Bonds in the form of bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of <br />and interest on such Bonds in the form of bond certificates. <br />7 <br />
