In case either of the officers who shall have executed the Bonds shall cease to be such officer or officers of the City before the Bonds so signed shall have been authenticated or delivered by the Bond Registrar, or issued by the City, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and upon such authentication, delivery and issue, shall be as binding upon the City as though those who signed the same had continued to be such officers of the City. Any Bond may also be signed and attested on behalf of the City by such persons as at the actual date of execution of such Bond shall be proper offi- cers of the City although at the original date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer of the City. Section 3. The Bond Registrar shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its principal corporate trust office, sufficient books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, which shall at all times be open to inspection by the City.

The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its representa- tions contained in the Registrar's Certificate of Authentication on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Bond - 4 - Registrar, and to the extent permitted by law, may act as depos- itory for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.

The City covenants that it will spend the principal proceeds of the Bonds with due diligence to completion of the purposes specified in this ordinance and will make no use of the proceeds of the Bonds or other funds of the City at any time during the term of the Bonds which, if such use had been reasonably expected at the date the Bonds are issued, would have caused the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, and the applicable regulations promulgated thereunder. Section 6. Foster & Marshall/American Express Inc in Seattle, Washington, has submitted an offer to purchase all of the Bonds at a price of $98.03 per each $100.00 of par value, plus accrued interest from the date of the Bonds to the date of their delivery to the purchaser, the City to furnish the printed Bonds and the approving legal opinion of Roberts & Shefelman, municipal bond counsel of Seattle, Washington, at the City's expense. Bond counsel shall not be required to review or express any opinion concerning the completeness or accuracy of any official statement, offering circular or other sales mate- rial issued or used in connection with the Bonds, and bond counsel's opinion shall so state. The City Council, deeming that it is in the best interest of the City that such offer be accepted, accepts the same. The Bonds shall, therefore, immedi- ately upon their execution, be delivered to Foster & Marshall/ - 5 - American Express Inc in Seattle, Washington, upon payment there- for in accordance with such offer. Section 7. The interest rate on the installments and delinquent payments of the special assessments in Local Improve- ment District No. 291 is revised and fixed at the rate of 10.175% per annum.
