Intergovernmental Agreement for any reason upon ninety (90) days' written

terminated or rescinded so long as the Authority has bonds, notes, or other
obligations outstanding, unless provision for full payment of such obligations,
by escrow or otherwise, has been made pursuant to the terms of such
obligations; provided, however, that if full payment has been provided by
escrow, such termination or recision shall not occur unless nationally recognized
bond counsel has delivered an opinion to the effect that such termination or
recision, in and of itself, will not adversely affect the-tax status of the interest on
such escrowed obligations. Furthermore, this Intergovernmental Agreement
may not be terminated if the Authority has obligations to the U.S. Department
