SECTION 44. Continuing Disclosure Undertaking. A. Definitions. As used in this Section, the following terms have the meanings ascribed to such terms below: Rule means SEC Rule 15c2-12, as amended from time to time. SEC means the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bonds arc being sold pursuant to a private placement with the Purchasers, in denominations of$100,000 or any integral multiple of$5,000 in excess thereof, to less than thirty-live sophisticated investors, and therefore the Rule is not applicable to the offering of the Bonds. Accordingly, no contract to provide continuing disclosure information after the issuance of the Bonds has been made by the City with investors. SECTION 45. Book-Entry Only System. The Bonds may be registered so as to participate in a securities depository system (the DTC System) with The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, or any successor entity thereto (DTC), as set forth herein. Each Stated Maturity of the Certificates shall be issued (following cancellation of the Initial Certificate described in Section 7) in the form of a separate single definitive Certificate. Upon issuance, the ownership of each such Certificate shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of lilt, and all of the Outstanding Certificates shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of DTC. The City and the Paying Agent/Registrar are authorized to execute, deliver, and take the actions set forth in such letters to or agreements with DTC as shall be necessary to effectuate the DTC System, including the Letter of Representations attached hereto as Exhibit D (the Representation Letter). With respect to the Certificates registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank, or other financial institution for which DTC holds the Certificates from time to time as securities depository (a Depository Participant) or to any person on behalf of whom 627625075 -3I- such a Depository Participant holds an interest in the Certificates (an Indirect Participant).

While in the DTC System, no person other than Cede & Co, or any successor thereto, as nominee for DTC, shall receive a bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Ordinance. Upon delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent/Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co, and subject to the provisions in this Ordinance with respect to interest checks or drafts being mailed to the Holder, the word "Cede & Co." in this Ordinance shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. In the event that (a)the City determines that DTC is incapable of discharging its responsibilities described herein and in the Representation Letter, (b) the Representation Letter shall be terminated for any reason, or(c)DTC or the City determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Certificates that they be able to obtain certificated Certificates,the City shall notify the Paying Agent/Registrar, DTC, and the Depository Participants of the availability within a reasonable period of time through DTC of bond certificates, and the Certificates shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. At that time, the City may determine that the Certificates shall be registered in the name of and deposited with a successor depository operating a securities depository system, as may he acceptable to the City, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the City and the Paying Agent/Registrar do not select such alternate securities depository system then the Certificates may be registered in whatever name or names the Holders of Certificates transferring or exchanging the Certificates shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Certificate and all notices with respect to such Certificate shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter. SECTION 46. No Recourse Against City Officials. No recourse shall be had for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Certificate or for any claim based thereon or on this Ordinance against any official of the City or any person executing any Certificate.
