If such a defeasance occurs and after the District receives an opinion of a nationally recognized accounting firm that the segregated moneys or Federal Securities together with interest earnings thereon are sufficient to effect a defeasance, the District shall execute and deliver all such instruments as may be necessary to effect such a defeasance and desirable to evidence such release, discharge and satisfaction. Provisions shall be made by the District, for the mailing of a notice to the owners of the Bond that such moneys are so available for such payment. Section 17.
