other reasonable regulations and conditions as the County and the Registrar may
prescribe and paying such expenses as the County and the Registrar may incur. All
Series 2009 Bonds so surrendered shall be canceled by the County. If any of the Series
2009 Bonds shall have matured or be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute
Bond, the County may pay the same, upon being indemnified as aforesaid, and if such

Any such duplicate Series 2009 Bonds issued pursuant to this Section shall
constitute original, additional contractual obligations on the part of the County whether

and such duplicate Series 2009 Bonds shall be entitled to equal and proportionate
benefits and rights as to lien on and source and security for payment from the funds, as
