The Bond shall have thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinafter set forth, duly executed by the Bond Registrar as authenticating agent of the City and showing the date of authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under this Ordinance unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Bond Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Ordinance. The certificate of authentication on the Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an authorized officer of the Bond Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on the Bond issued hereunder.

The Bond Registrar shall not be required to transfer or exchange the Bond during the period from the 15th day of the calendar month next preceding any interest payment date on the Bond to such interest payment date, nor to transfer or exchange the Bond after notice calling such Bond for redemption has been mailed. The person in whose name the Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of or interest on the Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative.

In the event the Bond is registered in the name of a securities depository which uses a book entry system, the standing of the registered owner to enforce any of the covenants herein may be established through the books and records of such securities depository or a participant therein. No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of the Bond, but the City or the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of the Bond, except in the case of the issuance of a Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion of a Bond surrendered for redemption.
