<br />Section 4. The debt charges on the Notes shall be payable in lawful money of the
<br />United States of America, or in Federal Reserve funds of the United States of America if so
<br />requested by the original purchaser, and shall be payable, without deduction for services of the
<br />City's paying agent, at the main office of National City Bank, Cleveland, Ohio, or at the
<br />principal office of a bank or trust company requested by the original purchaser of the Notes,
<br />provided that such request shall be approved by the Director of Finance after determining that
<br />the payment at that bank or trust company will not endanger the funds or securities of the City
<br />and that proper procedures and safeguards are available for that purpose (the Paying Agent).
<br />The Notes shall be dated the date of issuance and shall mature not earlier than six months and
<br />not more than nine months from the date of issuance, as set forth in the certificate awarding
<br />the Notes described in Section 6 of this ordinance and in accordance with the Director of
<br />Finance's determination of the best interests of and financial advantage to the City and its
<br />taxpayers and conditions then existing in the financial markets; provided that the Director of
<br />Finance may, if it is determined to be necessary or advisable to the sale of the Notes, establish
<br />a maturity date that is up to seven days less than six months from the date of issuance by
<br />setting forth that maturity date in the certificate of award. If agreed to by the original
<br />purchaser, the Notes shall be prepayable without penalty or premium at the option of the City
<br />at any time prior to maturity as provided in this ordinance. Prepayment prior to maturity shall
<br />be made by deposit with the Paying Agent of the principal amount of the Notes together with
<br />interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment. The City's right of prepayment shall be
<br />exercised by mailing a notice of prepayment, stating the date of prepayment and the name and
<br />address of the Paying Agent, by certified or registered mail to the original purchaser of the
<br />Notes not less than seven days prior to the date of that deposit, unless that notice is waived by
<br />the original purchaser of the Notes. If money for prepayment is on deposit with the Paying
<br />Agent on the specified prepayment date following the giving of that notice (unless the
<br />requirement of that notice is waived as stated above), interest on the principal amount prepaid
<br />shall cease to accrue on the prepayment date, and upon the request of the Director of Finance
<br />the original purchaser of the Notes shall arrange for the delivery of the Notes at the designated
<br />office of the Paying Agent for prepayment and surrender and cancellation.
<br />Section 5. The Notes shall be signed by the Mayor and Director of Finance, in the
<br />name of the City and in their official capacities, provided that one of those signatures may be a
<br />facsimile. The Notes shall be issued in the denominations and numbers as requested by the
<br />original purchaser and approved by the Director of Finance, provided that the entire principal
<br />amount may be re resented by a single note. In addition, the Notes may be issued (i) in the
<br />denominations of ?100,000 each or (ii) in any denomination that is the sum of $100,000 and
<br />$5,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and, if so issued, are not exchangeable for other Notes
<br />in denominations less than $100,000. The Notes shall not have coupons attached, shall be
<br />numbered as determined by the Director of Finance and shall express upon their faces the
<br />purpose, in summary terms, for which they are issued and that they are issued pursuant to this
<br />Ordinance.
<br />Section 6. The Notes shall be sold at not less than par at private sale by the
<br />Director of Finance in accordance with law and the provisions of this ordinance. The Director
<br />of Finance shall sign the certificate of award referred to in Sections 3 and 4 evidencing that
<br />sale, cause the Notes to be prepared, and have the Notes signed and delivered, together with a
<br />true transcript of proceedings with reference to the issuance of the Notes if requested by the
<br />original purchaser, to the original purchaser upon payment of the purchase price. The Mayor,
<br />the Director of Finance, the Clerk of Council and other City officials, as appropriate, are each
<br />authorized and directed to sign any transcript certificates, financial statements and other
<br />documents and instruments and to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to
