With respect to the issuance of the Bonds as "book-entry-only" bonds, the following provisions shall apply: ( a) The City and the Paying Agent and Registrar shall have no responsibility or obligation to any broker ~dealer, bank or other [mancial institution for which the Depository holds Bonds as securities depository (each, a "Bond Participant") or to any person who is an actual purchaser of a Bond from a Bond Participant while the Bonds are in book-entry form (each, a "Beneficial Owner") with respect to the following: (i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, any nominees of the Depository or any Bond Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any Bond Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to the Bonds.
