Any bond, upon surrender thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the option of the registered owner thereof, may be exchanged for bonds of any other authorized denominations 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 shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the exchange or transfer of any bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered bond and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond. If, at the time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and delivers a new bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new bond the following: "Payment of interest on this bond is in default.

For every exchange or transfer of bonds, the County or the bond registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or 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 such exchange or transfer.
