Security and Purpose. The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition, the City will pledge special assessments against property specially benefitted by the improvements to be financed from the proceeds of the Bonds. GLOBAL BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM Ownership of the Bonds. Purchases of Bonds by investors may be made through banks, brokers or dealers who are, or act through, participants (the "Participants") of the Depository, other SEC registered depositories and clearing corporations, who collectively comprise the National Clearance and Settlement System (the "National System"). The ownership of the Bonds will be shown on, and transfer of ownership will be effected through, records maintained by the Depository. The responsibility for maintaining, reviewing and supervising such records rests collectively with the specific Participants and the relevant units of the National System through whom the investors purchase or maintain the custody of the Bonds. Individual purchases of the Bonds may be in the amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single maturity, through book entries made on the books and records of the National System. Payments to Bondowners. Payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds will be made by the City to the Depository through its nominee Kray & Co., the registered owner of the Global Certificates. The Depository will credit payments on the Bonds to the Participants, as listed on the records of the Depository on the fifteenth calendar day preceding each interest payment date. Transfer of such payments to the Participants is the responsibility of the Depository. Transfer of such payments by the Bondowners is the responsibility of the Participants. Bondowners will receive interest and principal payments through their bank, broker or dealer nominees. The bank, broker or dealer nominees, if not Participants, will receive payments from the Participants or others who receive payments directly or indirectly from Participants. Global Certificates. As part of the Global Book Entry System, the City's Bonds are authorized only in the denomination of the entire outstanding principal amount of a given maturity and are not exchangeable for bonds of smaller denominations, unless replacement bonds are authorized. The City, as Registrar (or any successor registrar) will register on the registration books maintained for the Global Certificates any transfer requested by the registered owner. Initially, the owner registered on the City's registration books will be Kray & Co. Notwithstanding the larger authorized denomination of the City's Global Certificates, the Depository will recognize and enter on its books in the National System interests in $5,000 denominations in each G 10 bal Certificate.
