to the Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, because of
legislative action or final judicial or administrative actions or proceedings, the

participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds or securities firms

Securities Exchange Act of 1.934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory
thereto or amendatory thereof.

recording officer of the City accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who
may rely on certificates of the City and others and the opinion may be subject to
customary qualifications, to the effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a)
is made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in
law or regulation or a change in the identity, nature or status of the City or the
type of operations conducted by the City, or (b) is required by, or better complies
with, the provisions of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule; (ii) this section as so
amended or supplemented would have complied with the requirements of
paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule at the time of the primary offering of the Bonds,
giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under clause (i)(a) and
assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the amendment
or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii) such
amendment or supplement does not materially impair the interests of the
Bondowners under the Rule.
If the Disclosure Information is so amended, the City agrees to provide,
