The Bond Registrar shall be responsible for its represen- tations contained in the Registrar's Certificate of Authentica- tion on the Bonds. The Bond Registrar may become the owner of Bonds with the same rights it would have if it were not the Bond Registrar, and to the extent permitted by law, may act as - 4 - depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the rights of Bond owners.
