for the exchange or transfer. All Bonds issued and authenticated upon any exchange or transfer shall be valid obligations of the City, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same security and benefit under the Bond proceedings, as the Bonds surrendered upon that exchange or transfer. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar shall be required to make any exchange or transfer of (i) Bonds then subject to call for redemption between the 15th day preceding the mailing of notice of Bonds to be redeemed and the date of that mailing, or (ii) any Bond selected for redemption, in whole or in part. (c) Book Entry System. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this ordinance, if the Mayor and the Director of Finance determine in the Certificate of Award that it is in the best interest of and financially advantageous to the City, the Bonds may be issued in book entry form in accordance with the following provisions of this Section. The Bonds may be issued to a Depository for use in a book entry system and, if and so long as a book entry system is utilized, (i) the Bonds may be issued in the form of a single, fully registered Bond representing each maturity and interest rate within a maturity and registered in the name of the Depository or its designated nominee, as registered owner, and deposited with and retained in the custody of the Depository or its agent, which may be the Bond Registrar; (ii) the owners of book entry interests in Bonds shall have no right to receive Bonds in the form of physical securities or certificates; (iii) ownership of book entry interests in Bonds shall be shown by book entry on the system maintained and operated by the Depository and its Participants, and transfers of the ownership of book entry interests shall be made only by book entry by the Depository and its Participants; and (iv) the Bonds as such shall not be transferable or exchangeable, except for transfer to another Depository or to another nominee of a Depository, without further action by the City. If any Depository determines not to continue to act as a Depository for the Bonds for use in a book entry system, the Director of Finance may attempt to establish a securities depository/book entry relationship with another qualified Depository. If the Director of Finance does not or is unable to do so, the Director of Finance, after making provision for notification of the book entry interest owners by the then Depository and any other arrangements deemed necessary, shall permit withdrawal of the Bonds from the Depository, and shall cause bond certificates in registered form to be authenticated by the Bond Registrar and delivered to the assigns of the Depository or its nominee, all at the cost and expense (including any costs of printing), if the event is not the result of City action or inaction, of those persons requesting such issuance. The Mayor and the Director of Finance are each also hereby authorized and directed to the extent necessary or required to enter into any agreements, in the name and on behalf of the City, that either determines to be necessary in connection with a book entry system for the Bonds, after determining that the signing thereof will not endanger the funds or securities of the City. Section 6. Sale of the Bonds. (a) To the Original Purchaser. The Bonds shall be awarded and sold by the Mayor and the Director of Finance to the Original Purchaser at private sale at a purchase price not less than 97% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus any accrued interest on the Current Interest Bonds from their date to the Closing Date, as shall be determined by the Mayor and the Director of Finance in the Certificate of Award, and with and upon such other terms as are required or -12-
