The Mayor, Treasurer and Clerk of the City are hereby -6- authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the City such letters to or agreements with DTC and the Bond Registrar as shall be necessary to effectuate such book-entry system(any such letter or agreement being referred to herein as the "Representation Letter"). With respect to the Bonds registered in the Bond Register in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, the City and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds Bonds from time to time as securities depository (each such broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution being referred to herein as a "DTC Participant") or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the City and the Bond Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i)the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii)the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, of any amount with respect to principal of or interest on the Bonds.

The Bond Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective registered owners of the Bonds, as shown in the Bond Register, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments rink shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the City's obligations with respect to -7- payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of a Bond as shown in the Bond Register, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the City to make payments of principal and interest with respect to any Bond.

At the time, the City may determine that the Bonds shall be registered in the name of and deposited with such other depository operating a global book-entry system, as may be acceptable to the City, or such depository's agent or designee, and if the City does not select such alternate global book-entry system, then the Bonds may be registered in whatever name or names registered owners of Bonds transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 hereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Ordinance to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede, as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the Representation Letter. F -8- Section 6. Execution; Authentication. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the City by the manual or facsimile signature of its Mayor and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its City Clerk, as they may determine, and shall have impressed or imprinted thereon the corporate seal or facsimile thereof of the City. In case any such officer whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such Bond, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. All Bonds shall have thereon a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form hereinafter set forth, duly executed by the Bond Registrar as authenticating agent of the City and showing the date of authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Bond Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance. The certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an authorized officer of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder. Section 7. Term Bonds, Mandatory Redemption and Covenants. Those of the Bonds denominated Term Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption by operation of the Bond Fund at a price of par and accrued interest, without premium, on December 15 of the years and in the amounts set forth in Section 4 above by reference to the Table in such section. The City covenants that it will redeem Term Bonds pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirement for such Term Bonds. Proper provision for mandatory redemption having been made, the City covenants that the Term Bonds so selected for redemption shall be payable as at maturity, and taxes shall be levied and collected as provided herein accordingly. -9- Section 8. Optional Redemption. Those of the Bonds due on or after December 15, 2014, are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the City, from any available funds, in whole or in part, on any date on or after December 15, 2013, and if in part, in any order of maturity as selected by the City, and if less than an entire maturity, in integral multiples of $5,000, selected by lot by the Bond Registrar as hereinafter provided, at the redemption price of par plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. Section 9. Term Bonds Purchase or Redemption. If the City redeems pursuant to optional redemption as hereinabove provided or purchases Term Bonds of any maturity and cancels the same from Bond Moneys as hereinafter described, then an amount equal to the principal amount of Term Bonds so redeemed or purchased shall be deducted from the mandatory redemption requirements provided for Term Bonds of such maturity, first, in the current year of such requirement, until the requirement for the current year has been fully met, and then in any order of such Term Bonds as due at maturity or subject to mandatory redemption in any year, as the City shall determine. If the City redeems pursuant to optional redemption or purchases Term Bonds of any maturity and cancels the same from moneys other than Bond Moneys, then an amount equal to the principal amount of Term Bonds so redeemed or purchased shall be deducted from the amount of such Term Bonds as due at maturity or subject to mandatory redemption requirement in any year, as the City shall determine. Section 10. Redemption Procedure. For a mandatory redemption of Term Bonds, the Bond Registrar shall proceed without further authorization or direction to provide for such redemption. For optional redemptions, the City shall, at least 45 days prior to the redemption date (unless a shorter time period shall be satisfactory to the Bond Registrar), notify the Bond Registrar and the bond registrar for the Bonds of such redemption date and of the maturities and principal amounts of Bonds to be redeemed. In the event of an optional redemption of less than -10- all of a given maturity of Term Bonds, the City shall also notify the Bond Registrar of the allocation of the amount to be redeemed to the mandatory redemption requirements for such Term Bonds. For purposes of any redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a single maturity, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot not more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Bond Registrar for the Bonds of such maturity by such method of lottery as the Bond Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate;provided, however, that such lottery shall provide for the selection for redemption of Bonds or portions thereof so that any $5,000 Bond or $5,000 portion of a Bond shall be as likely to be called for redemption as any other such$5,000 Bond or$5,000 portion. The Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the City and the Paying Agent in writing of the Bonds or portions of Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption,the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Unless waived by the registered owner of Bonds to be redeemed, official notice of any such redemption shall be given by the Bond Registrar on behalf of the City by mailing the redemption notice by first class mail not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to each registered owner of the Bond or Bonds to be redeemed at the address shown on the Bond Register or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Bond Registrar. All official notices of redemption shall include the full name of the Bonds to be redeemed and at least the information as follows: (a) the redemption date; (b) the redemption price; r -11- (c) if less than all of the outstanding Bonds of a particular maturity are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of Bonds within such maturity, the respective principal amounts) of the Bonds to be redeemed; (d) a statement that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; and (e) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the principal corporate trust office of the Paying Agent. Prior to any redemption date, the City shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the City shall default in the payment of the redemption price), such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Neither the failure to mail such redemption notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular registered owner of a Bond, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other registered owners. Notice having been properly given, failure of a registered owner of a Bond to receive such notice shall not be deemed to invalidate, limit or delay the effect of the notice or redemption action described in the notice. Such notice may be waived in writing by a registered owner of a Bond entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by -12- • registered owners shall be filed with the Bond Registrar, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. The procedure for the payment of interest due as part of the redemption price shall be as herein provided for payment of interest otherwise due. Upon surrender for any partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the registered owner a new Bond or Bonds of like tenor, of authorized denominations, of the same maturity, and bearing the same rate of interest in the amount of the unpaid principal. If any Bond or portion of a Bond called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate borne by the Bond or portion of Bond so called for redemption. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Bond Registrar and shall not be reissued. As part of their respective duties hereunder, the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall prepare and forward to the City a statement as to notice given with respect to each redemption together with copies of the notices as mailed and published. Section 11. Registration and Exchange or Transfer of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners. The City shall cause books (the "Bond Register") for the registration and for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Ordinance to be kept at the principal corporate trust office of the Bond Registrar in the City of Chicago, Illinois, which is hereby constituted and appointed the registrar of the City for the Bonds. The City is authorized to prepare, and the Bond Registrar or such other agent as the City may designate shall keep custody of, multiple Bond blanks executed by the City for use in the transfer and exchange of Bonds. r -13-
