Section 11.  Execution, Authentication and Delivery of the Notes.  The Chairperson and Auditor shall execute and deliver the Notes to the Registrar, who shall authenticate the Notes and deliver the same to or upon order of the Purchaser.  No Note shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any right or benefit hereunder unless the Registrar shall duly endorse and execute on such Note a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form of the Certificate herein set forth.
