provided, however, that at the date of any such purchase the city of New
York has not defaulted in the payment of any of its outstanding bonds or
notes. The terms and conditions of such bonds, including the rates of
interest thereon, shall be determined by the municipal assistance

pursuant to the authorization and direction of subdivision one and such

investment advisors from financial loss arising out of any claim,
demand, suit, action or judgment for alleged negligence, waste or breach

for the city of New York provided that such person shall, within five
