requested by the original purchaser; and shall be executed by the Mayor and Fiscal Officer,
<br />provided that one of such signatures may be a facsimile signature.
<br />
<br /> The Notes, pursuant to the terms set forth below, may also be issued to a
<br />Depository (as hereinafter defined) for use in a book-entry system (as hereinafter defined). The
<br />Fiscal Officer is hereby authorized and directed, to the extent necessary or required, to enter into
<br />any agreements determined necessary in connection with the authentication, immobilization, and
<br />transfer of Notes, including arrangements for the payment of principal and interest by wire
<br />transfer, after determining that the execution thereof will not endanger the funds or securities of
<br />the City, which determination shall be conclusively evidenced by the signing of any such
<br />agreement.
<br />
<br /> If and as long as a book-entry system is utilized, (i) the Notes shall be issued m
<br />the form of one note in the name of the Depository or its nominee, as owner, and mobilized in
<br />the custody of the Depository; (ii) the beneficial owners in book-entry form shall have no right to
<br />receive Notes in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iff) ownership of beneficial
<br />interests in book-entry form shall be shown by a book entry on the system maintained and
<br />operated by the Depository and its Participants (as hereinafter defined), and transfers of the
<br />ownership of beneficial interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its
<br />Participants; and (iv)the Notes as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for
<br />transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by
<br />the Council of the City.
<br />
<br /> If any Depository determines not to continue to act as a Depository for the Notes
<br />for use in a book-entry system, the Fiscal Officer may attempt to have established a securities
<br />depository/book-entry relationship with another qualified Depository. If the Fiscal Officer does
<br />not or is unable to do so, the Fiscal Officer, after making provision for notification of the
<br />beneficial owners by the then Depository and any other arrangements he deems necessary, shall
<br />permit withdrawal of the Notes from the Depository, and authenticate and deliver Note
<br />certificates in bearer or registered form, as he determines, to the assigns of the Depository or its
<br />nominee, all at the cost and expense (including any costs of printing), if the event is not the result
<br />of Council action or inaction, of those persons requesting such issuance.
<br />
