Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest with respect to such Bond,
for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes.
The Paying Agent will pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or
on the order of the respective registered owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the
Bond Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy and discharge
the City's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of
Bonds, as shown in the registration books kept by the Bond Registrar, will receive a certificated
Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery by DTC to the City
Administrator of a written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new

Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations (Representation Letter) which shall govern payment of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds.
Any Paying Agent or Bond Registrar subsequently appointed by the City with respect to the
Bonds will agree to take all action necessary for all representations of the City in the
Representation letter with respect to the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be
complied with at all times.
7.04. Transfers Outside Book &ntry System. In the event the City, by resolution of the
City Council, determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests
in the Bonds that they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon
DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such
event the City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as requested by DTC and any
other registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. DTC may
determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving
notice to the City and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.

Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this resolution and the provisions
hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange and method of payment thereof.

respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively in the manner provided in DTC's
Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation Letter.
Section 8. Continuing Disclosure.
8.01. The City hereby covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of
the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Resolution, failure of the City to comply with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to
be considered an event of default with respect to the Bonds; however, any Bondholder may take
such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific
performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this section.
8.02. "Continuing Disclosure Certificate" means that certain Continuing Disclosure
Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Administrator and dated the date of issuance and
