The Director of Administrative Services (the "Director") shall execute and deliver letters of representations to The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") for the Bonds, in form and substance satisfactory to DTC. So long as the Bonds are in book -entry form: 2.1.1. Ownership of the Bonds shall be recorded through entries on the books of banks and broker-dealer participants and correspondents that are related to entries on the DTC system. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a global bond for each maturity. Each global bond shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of DTC as the owner of the Bond, and such global bonds shall be lodged with DTC until early redemption or maturity of the Bond issue. 2.1.2. The Registrar shall remit payment for the maturing principal and interest on the Bonds to DTC as owner of the Bonds for distribution by the nominee to the beneficial owners by recorded entry on the books of DTC participants and correspondents.

Notwithstanding the provisions regarding exchange and transfer of Bonds set forth in this Resolution, while the Bonds are in book -entry -form they may not be transferred or exchanged on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent except: below; 2.3.1. to any successor depository designated by the County as provided 2.3.2. to any successor nominee designated by a depository, or 2.3.3. if the County elects to discontinue maintaining the Bonds in book - entry -form, the County shall cause the Paying Agent to authenticate and deliver replacement Bonds in fully registered form in authorized denominations in the names of the beneficial owners or their nominees; thereafter the provisions set forth herein, regarding registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds shall apply.

If the County is unable to identify such successor depository prior to the effective date of the resignation, the County shall discontinue maintaining the Bonds in book -entry -form as provided above. 2.5. With respect to Bonds registered in the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent in the name of the nominee of DTC, the County and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any participant or correspondent of DTC or to any beneficial owner on behalf of which such participants or correspondents act as agent for the beneficial owner with respect to: 2.5.1. the accuracy of the records of DTC, the Nominee or any participant or correspondent with respect to any beneficial owner's interest in the Bonds; 2.5.2. the delivery to any participant or correspondent or any other person of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of prepayment; 2.5.3. the selection by DTC of the beneficial interest in Bonds to be redeemed prior to maturity; or 2.5.4. the payment to any participant, correspondent, or any other person other than the registered owner of the Bonds as shown in the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent, of any amount with respect to principal or interest on the Bonds. 2.6. So long as the Bonds are in book -entry -form, the Paying Agent will give any notice of redemption or any other notices required to be given to registered owners of Bonds only to DTC or its nominee registered as the registered owner thereof Any failure of DTC to advise any of its participants, or of any participant to notify the beneficial owner, of any such notice and its content or effect will not affect the validity of the redemption of the Bonds called for redemption or of any other action premised on such notice. Neither the County nor the Paying Agent is responsible or liable for the failure of DTC or any participant to make any payment or give any notice to a beneficial owner in respect of the Bonds or any error or delay relating thereto. 2.7. The County shall pay or cause to be paid all principal and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the owner, as shown in the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the County's obligation with respect to payment thereof to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. 2.8. Upon delivery by DTC to the County and to the owner of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of the nominee, then the Page 3 - Resolution 7\RDR\DESCHUTE CO\G0.96\1/396 2707DO8 0149-x0825 word "nominee" in this Resolution shall refer to such new nominee of DTC, and upon receipt of such notice, the County shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Paying Agent.

If the Bonds qualify for municipal bond insurance, any purchase of such policy shall be at the sole option and expense of the bidder.

The good faith deposit will be held by the County as security against any loss resulting from the failure of the bidder to comply with the terms of its bid. The good faith deposit will be forfeited to the County as liquidated damages in case the bidder to whom the Bonds are awarded withdraws its bid or fails to complete its purchase of the Bonds in accordance with the terms thereof, including any failure to purchase the Bonds resulting from the inability of the bidder to secure delivery of an insurance policy submitted as part of its bid for the purchase of the Bonds. If a check is used as good faith deposit, the check must accompany the bid. If a financial surety bond is used as the good faith deposit, such financial surety bond must be submitted to the County prior to the opening of the bids. The issuer of the financial surety bond must be rated in the highest rating category by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's, or by Fitch Investors Service, Inc., and must identify the bidder whose good faith deposit is guaranteed by such financial surety bond.

The County reserves the right to cash the good faith deposit check of the successful bidder, or to retain any good faith deposit delivered by electronic wire transfer, immediately upon receipt thereof by the County. The County shall be entitled to retain for the sole and exclusive use and benefit of the County all investment earnings derived from the good faith deposit prior to the delivery of the Bonds, and in no event shall the successful bidder be entitled to any such investment earnings (whether by means of a credit or otherwise). Upon delivery of the Bonds, the successful bidder will receive a credit against the purchase price of the Bonds in an amount equal to the good faith deposit (i.e., $288,000.00).
