B. The Treasurer of the County (or, at the option of the County, the Finance Director) on direction of the President of the District Board, shall give written instructions concerning any optional prior redemption pursuant to Section 6 hereof to the Registrar at least sixty days prior to such redemption date. -6- C. Notice of any redemption pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 hereof shall be given by the Registrar in the name of the County by sending a copy of such notice by registered or certified first-class, postage prepaid mail, not more than sixty days and not less than thirty days prior to the redemption date, to the Purchaser and to each registered owner of any Bond all or a portion of which is called for prior redemption at his address as it last appears on the registration records kept by the Registrar.

Such notice shall identify the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed (if less than all are to be redeemed) and the date fixed for redemption, and shall further state that on such redemption date the principal amount thereof will become due and payable at the Paying Agent, and that from and after such date interest will cease to accrue. Accrued interest to the redemption date will be paid by check or draft mailed to the registered owner (or by alternative means if so agreed to by the Paying Agent and the registered owner). Notice having been given in the manner hereinbefore provided, the Bond or Bonds so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date so designated; and upon presentation thereof at the Paying Agent, the County will pay the principal of the Bond or Bonds so called for redemption.

The Bonds and Registered Coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the officers in office at the time of the signing thereof shall be the valid and binding obligations of the County (subject to the requirement of authentication by the Registrar as -7- hereinafter provided) notwithstanding that before the delivery of the Bonds or Registered Coupons, or before the issuance of the Bonds or Registered Coupons upon transfer or exchange, any or all of the persons whose facsimile signatures appear on the Bonds or Registered Coupons shall have ceased to fill their respective offices. The Chairman of the Board, the County Clerk, and the President of the District Board shall, by the execution of a signature certificate pertaining to the Bonds and Registered Coupons, adopt as and for their respective signatures any facsimiles thereof appearing on the Bonds and Registered Coupons. At the time of the execution of the signature certificate, the Chairman of the Board, the County Clerk, and the President of the District Board may each adopt as and for his or her facsimile signature the facsimile signature of his or her predecessor in office in the event that such facsimile signature appears upon any of the Bonds or Registered Coupons. No Bond or Registered Coupon shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication, substantially in the form hereinafter provided, has been duly manually executed by the Registrar. The Registrar's certificate of authentication shall be deemed to have been duly executed by it if manually signed by an authorized officer or employee of the Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds or Registered Coupons issued hereunder. By authenticating any of the Bonds or Registered Coupons initially delivered pursuant to this Resolution, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall be deemed to have assented to the provisions of this Resolution.

The Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a Bond or Bonds or Registered Coupon or Registered Coupons which the registered owner making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. Exchanges and transfers of Bonds or Registered Coupons as herein provided shall be subject to a reasonable transfer charge to the owner or any transferee, and the Registrar may require the payment by the owner of any Bond or Registered Coupon requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. The County shall not be obligated to pay any fees or charges of the Paying Agent or Registrar, and the payment of any such fees or charges of the Paying Agent or Registrar (other than any taxes or governmental charges required to be paid by the Bond or Registered Coupon owners as hereinbefore provided) shall be the responsibility of the District.

If such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Bond or Registered Coupon shall have matured, the Registrar may direct the Paying Agent to pay such Bond or Registered Coupon in lieu of replacement. E. The officers of the County and the District are authorized to deliver to the Registrar fully executed but unauthenticated Bonds and Registered Coupons in such quantities as may be convenient to be held in custody by the Registrar pending use as herein provided. F. Whenever any Bond or Registered Coupon shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent upon payment thereof, or to the Registrar for transfer, exchange or replacement as provided herein, such Bond or Registered Coupon shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent or Registrar, and counterparts of a certificate of such cancellation shall be furnished by the Paying Agent or Registrar to the County.

E. Redemption. Upon any partial redemption of any maturity of the Bonds, Cede & Co. (or its successor) in its discretion may request the County and the District to issue and authenticate a new Bond or shall make an appropriate notation on the Bond indicating the date and amount of prepayment, except in the case of final maturity, in which case the Bond must be presented to the Registrar prior to payment.
