The City is not responsible or liable for any functions of DTC, will not be responsible for paying any fees or ch~ with respect to its services, will not be responsible or liable for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing the records of DTC or its participants, or protecting any interests or rights of the beneficial owners of the Series 2003 Bonds. It shall be the duty of the DTC Participants, as defined in the Official Statement herein approved, to make artzngements with DTC to establish this book-en~ system, the beneficial ownership ofthe Series 2003 Bonds, and the method ofpaying the fees and charges of DTC. The City does not represent, nor does it in any w-ay covenant that the initial book-entry sysmm established with DTC will be maim~ed in the future. Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the foregoing book-entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally delivered Series 2003 Bonds is duly filed with the Paying -15- Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided for in this Ordinance, substitute Series 2005 Bonds will be duly delivered as provided in this Ordinance, and there will be no assurance or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained for such Series 2003 Bonds.
