to comply with any covenant contained herem to the extent that such modification or expansion, in the opinion of nationally-recogmzed bond counsel, will not adversely affect the exemption from federal

Agent/Registrar and to DTC, and thereafter the Paying Agent/Registrar shall, upon presentation and proper request, register any Bond in any name as provided for in this Ordinance Notwithstanding the initial establishment of the foregoing book -entry system with DTC, if for any reason any of the originally delivered substitute Bonds is duly filed with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request
