and the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) shall be impressed or
imprinted on the bonds. After the bonds have been executed and authenticated for

of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same
rate of interest as the surrendered bond.
Each bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which

other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or
transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange
or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making

the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to deliver
a new executed bond to replace the bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully
taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an outstanding matured
bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the County Treasurer may
authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to pay the bond without
presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation required for the delivery
of a replacement bond. The bond registrar and paying agent, for each new bond
delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require the

deemed necessary. In the event the principal amount of the bond issue is reduced

of bonds maturing in any one or more years as necessary.

authorized to file with the Department of Treasury a Notice of Intent to Issue an
Obligation with respect to the bonds and to pay, upon the filing of said notice,
the filing fee of $400. If an exception from prior approval is not granted the
County Drain Commissioner or the County Treasurer shall make application to the
