Section 2.04. Book-Entry System. (a) Original Delivery. The Bonds shall be initially delivered in the form of a separate single fully registered Bond (which may be typewritten)for each maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial delivery, the ownership of each such Bond shall be registered on the Registration Books in the name of Cede & Co. (the "Nominee').

With respect to Bonds the ownership of which shall be registered in the name of the Nominee,the District and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation 7 to any Depository System Participant or to any person on behalf of which the Depository holds an interest in the Bonds. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, the District and the Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, the Nominee or any Depository System Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Depository System Participant or any other person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, (iii) the selection by the Depository of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in the event the District elects to redeem the Bonds in part, (iv) the payment to any Depository System Participant or any other person, other than an Owner as shown in the Registration Books, of any amount with respect to principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds or(v) any consent given or other action taken by the Depository as Owner of the Bonds.

The Paying Agent shall pay the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds only to the respective Owners or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing,and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge all obligations with respect to payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation of the District to make payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, pursuant to this Resolution. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Nominee of written notice to the effect that the Depository has determined to substitute a new nominee in its place, and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, such new nominee shall become the Nominee hereunder for all purposes; and upon receipt of such a notice the District shall promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Paying Agent. (b) Representation Letter. In order to qualify the Bonds for the Depository's book-entry system, the District and the Paying Agent shall execute and deliver to such Depository a letter representing such matters as shall be necessary to so qualify the Bonds. The execution and delivery of such letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of subsection (a) above or in any other way impose upon the District or the Paying Agent any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in the Bonds other than the Owners. The Paying Agent agrees to comply with all provisions in such letter with respect to the giving of notices thereunder by the Paying Agent. In addition to the execution and delivery of such letter, the District may take any other actions, not inconsistent with this Resolution, to qualify the Bonds for the Depository's book-entry program. (c) Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. In the event that either (i) the Depository determines not to continue to act as Depository for the Bonds, or (ii) the District determines to terminate the Depository as such, then the District shall thereupon discontinue the book-entry system with such Depository. In such event, the Depository shall cooperate with the District and the Paying Agent in the issuance of replacement Bonds by providing the Paying Agent with a list showing the interests of the Depository System Participants in the Bonds, and by surrendering the Bonds, registered in the name of the Nominee,to the Paying Agent on or before the date such replacement Bonds are to be issued. The Depository,by accepting delivery of the Bonds, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this subsection (c). If, prior to the termination of the Depository acting as such, the District fails to identify another Securities Depository to 8 replace the Depository,then the Bonds shall no longer be required to be registered in the Registration Books in the name of the Nominee,but shall be registered in whatever name or names the Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 2. Prior to its termination, the Depository shall furnish the Paying Agent with the names and addresses of the Participants and respective ownership interests thereof. (d) Payments to the Nominee.
