Upon <br />initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register in the name <br />of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the City may treat DTC (or its nominee) <br />as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment <br />of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, <br />if any, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under <br />this resolution, registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither <br />the Registrar nor the City shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Registrar nor <br />the City shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a <br />beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any Participant, or any other <br />person which is not shown on the Bond Register as being a registered owner of any Bonds, with <br />respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the <br />payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on <br />the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of Bonds <br />under this resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to <br />receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any consent <br />given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. So long as any Bond is <br />registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of <br />and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to such Bond, only to Cede & <br />Co. in accordance with DTC’s Operational Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid <br />and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City’s obligations with respect to the principal of <br />and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC <br />shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of <br />the City to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of <br />written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede <br />& Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance with paragraph (e) <br />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 physical 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 with <br />paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the <br />Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities <br />27
