Such mailing shall not be a condition precedent to such redemption and failure to mail or to receive any such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Such notice shall state the redemption date and the redemption price and, if less than all of the then Outstanding Bonds are to be called for redemption, shall designate the serial numbers of the Bonds to be redeemed by giving the individual number of each Bond or by stating that all Bonds between two stated numbers, both inclusive, or by stating that all of the Bonds of one or more maturities have been called for redemption, and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the Principal Office of the Paying Agent for redemption at the said redemption price, giving notice also that further interest on such Bonds will not accrue from and after the redemption date.

If any officer whose signature appears on any Bond ceases to be such officer before delivery of the Bonds to the Original Purchaser, such signature will nevertheless be as effective as if the officer had remained in office until the delivery of the Bonds to the Original Purchaser. Any Bond may be signed and attested on behalf of the City by such persons as at the actual date of the execution of such Bond are the proper officers of the City although at the nominal date of such Bond any such person does not serve as such officer of the City. Only those Bonds bearing a Certificate of Authentication in the form set forth in Appendix A attached hereto, executed and dated by the Paying Agent, will be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Resolution, and such Certificate of Authentication of the Paying Agent constitutes conclusive evidence that the Bonds so registered have been duly authenticated, registered and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this Resolution. SECTION 2.06. Transfer of Bonds. Any Bond may, in accordance with its terms, be transferred, upon the Registration Books, by the person in whose name it is registered, in person or by his duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation at the Principal Office at the Paying Agent, accompanied by delivery of a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the Paying Agent, duly executed.

SECTION 2.07. Exchange of Bonds. Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Paying Agent for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of authorized denominations and of the same maturity. The City may charge a reasonable sum for each new Bond issued upon any exchange. SECTION 2.08. Registration Books. The Paying Agent shall keep or cause to be kept sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which shall at all times be open to inspection by the City upon reasonable notice; and, upon presentation for such purpose, the Paying Agent shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register or transfer or cause to be registered or transferred, on said books, Bonds as herein before provided. SECTION 2.09. Book-Entry System. Except as provided below, DTC will be the Owner of all of the Bonds, and the Bonds will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC. The Bonds shall be initially executed and delivered in the form of a single fully registered Bond for each maturity date of the Bonds in the full aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing on such date. The Paying Agent and the City may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for all purposes of this Resolution, and neither the Paying Agent nor the City A-8 RESOLUTION NO. 2010-27 shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Paying Agent and the City shall not have any responsibility or obligation to any Depository System Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or a Depository System Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the register of the City as being an owner, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Depository System Participant or the payment by DTC or any Depository System Participant by DTC or any Depository System Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or interest with respect to the Bonds. The City shall cause to be paid all principal and interest with respect to the Bonds only to DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to the principal and interest with respect to the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Except under the conditions noted below, no person other than DTC shall receive a Bond. Upon delivery by DTC to the City of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the term "Cede & Co." in this Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. If the City determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners that they be able to obtain Bonds and delivers a written certificate to DTC and the City to that effect, DTC shall notify the Depository System Participants of the availability through DTC of Bonds. In such event, the City shall issue, transfer and exchange Bonds as requested by DTC and any other owners in appropriate amounts. 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. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the City shall be obligated to deliver Bonds as described in this Resolution. Whenever DTC requests the City to do so, the City will cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to (a) make available one or more separate Bonds evidencing the Bonds to any Depository System Participant having Bonds credited to its DTC account or (b) arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates evidencing the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee ofDTC, all payments with respect to the principal and interest with respect to such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided as in the representation letter delivered on the date of issuance of the Bonds.

SECTION 6.05. Compensation; Indemnification.
