The Series 2020C Bonds shall be in a single maturity and bear interest at a rate as set forth in the Sale Certificate, as determined by the Chief Financial Officer, Director of Finance and Administration or City Treasurer in consultation with the office of the State Treasurer prior to the date of delivery of the Series 2020C Bonds, provided, however, that in no event shall the net effective interest rate on the Series 2020C Bonds exceed 10%.
(F) BOOK-ENTRY. The Long-Term Bonds may be issued, in whole or in part, in book-entry form with no physical distribution of bond certificates made to the public. A Depository will act as securities depository for the Long-Term Bonds. A single certificate for each maturity date of the Long-Term Bonds shall be delivered to the Depository and immobilized in its custody. The book-entry system will evidence ownership of the Long-Term Bonds in Authorized Denominations, with transfers of ownership effected on the books of the Depository and its participants (“Participants”). As a condition to delivery of the Long-Term Bonds in book-entry form, the Purchaser will, immediately after acceptance of delivery thereof, deposit the Long-Term Bonds certificates with the Depository, registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee. Principal, premium, if any, and interest will be paid to the Depository or its nominee as the Owner of the Long-Term Bonds in book-entry form. The transfer of principal and interest payments to Participants will be the responsibility of the Depository; the transfer of principal and interest payments to the beneficial owners of the Long-Term Bonds (“Beneficial Owners”) by Participants will be the responsibility of such Participants and other nominees of Beneficial Owners maintaining a relationship with Participants (“Indirect Participants”). Neither the City nor the Paying Agent will be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Depository, Participants or Indirect Participants.
If (i) the Long-Term Bonds are not eligible for the services of a Depository, (ii) a Depository determines to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Long-Term Bonds, or (iii) the City determines that a continuation of the system of book-entry transfers through a Depository ceases to be beneficial to the City or the Owners of the Long-Term Bonds, the City will either identify another Depository or bond certificates will be delivered to Beneficial Owners or their nominees and the Beneficial Owners or their nominees, upon authentication of the Long-Term Bonds, and registration of the Long-Term Bonds in the Beneficial Owners’ or nominees’ names, will become the Owners of the Long-Term Bonds for all purposes. In that event, the City shall mail an appropriate notice to the Depository for notification to Participants, Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners of the substitute Depository or the issuance of Long-Term Bonds certificates to Beneficial Owners or their nominees, as applicable.
Authorized Officers are authorized to execute and deliver agreements with Depositories relating to the matters set forth in this Section.
