If for any reason should any ofthe originally delivered Certificates duly file with the Paying Agent/Registrar with proper request for transfer and substitution, as provided for in this Ordinance, substitute Certificates will be duly delivered as provided in this Ordinance, and there will be no assurance or representation that any book-entry system will be maintained for such Certificates.
