<br />Notes with one or more other note issues of the City into a consolidated note issue pursuant to
<br />Section 133.30(B) of the Revised Code; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of any such
<br />consolidated note issue is $1,000,000 or more, no note of that issue shall be issued in a
<br />denomination less than $100,000 or be exchangeable for other notes in denominations less than
<br />$100,000, unless a disclosure document in the form of an official statement is prepared, distributed
<br />and used in connection with the original primary offering of that issue.
<br />If, in the judgment of the Mayor and the Director of Finance, the preparation of a
<br />disclosure document in the form of an official statement is appropriate in connection with the
<br />primary offering of the Notes (or a consolidated issue of which they are a part), either or both of
<br />those officers, on behalf of the City and in their official capacities, may (i) prepare or cause to be
<br />prepared, and make or authorize modifications, completions or changes of or supplements to, such
<br />an official statement (which may include the City's 1999 Annual Informational Statement in
<br />connection with Bonds and Notes), (ii) determine, and to certify or otherwise represent, when the
<br />official statement is to be "deemed final" (except for permitted omissions) by the City as of its date
<br />or is a final official statement for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12(b)(1), (3) and (4), (iii) use and
<br />distribute, or authorize the use and distribution of those official statements and any supplements
<br />thereto in connection with the original issuance of the Notes, and (iv) complete and sign those
<br />official statements as so approved together with such certificates, statements or other documents in
<br />connection with the finality, accuracy and completeness of those official statements.
