The Notes shall be numbered from 1 consecutively upward, shall be in the denomination of $1,000 each or any integral multiple thereof. "CUSIP" identification numbers shall be imprinted on the Notes, but such numbers shall not constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the Notes and any error or omission with respect thereto shall not constitute cause for refusal of any purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Notes. In addition, failure on the part of the City to use such CUSIP numbers in any notice to registered owners of the Notes shall not constitute an event of default or any violation of the City's contract with such registered owners and shall not impair the effectiveness of any such notice. Except as provided below, the owner of all of the Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ( "DTC "), and the Notes shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. The Notes shall be initially executed and delivered in the fonn of a single fully registered Note in the full aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The City may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Notes registered in its name for all purposes of this Resolution, and the City shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary. The City shall not have any responsibility or obligation to any participant of DTC (a "Participant "), any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Notes under or through DTC or a 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 Participant or the payment by DTC or any Participant by DTC or any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or interest with respect to the Notes.

DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes evidencing the Notes to any DTC Participant having Notes credited to its DTC account or (b) arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of Certificates evidencing the Notes.
