Notices of the intended redemption shall be published by one insertion in a financial newspaper or journal of national circulation published in the City of New York, New York, said publication to be at least thirty (30) days but not 9 - more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date.

The actual receipt by the holder of any bond (hereinafter referred to as "bondholder") of notice of such redemption shall not be a condition precedent to redemption, and failure to re- ceive such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings - 10 - for the redemption of such bonds or the cessation of interest on the date fixed for redemption. The notice or notices required by this section shall be given by the Treasurer of the District. A certificate by said Treasurer that notice of call and redemption has been given to holders of registered bonds as herein provided shall be con- clusive as against all parties, and no bondholder whose regis- tered bond is called for redemption may object thereto or ob- ject to the cessation of interest on the redemption date fixed by any claim or showing that he failed to actually receive such notice of call or redemption. SECTION 12. Prior to the time the District Board determines to call and redeem any of said bonds there shall be established in the treasury of the District a redemption fund to be described or known as "ORANGE COUNTY WATER DISTRICT NO. 4, ZONE 2, SERIES C ISSUE OF 1974 REDEMPTION FUND", (hereinafter sometimes called "Redemption Fund"), and prior to the redemption date there must be set aside in the Redemption Fund moneys available for the purpose and sufficient to redeem at the premiums payable as in this resolution provided, the bonds designated in such notice of redemption. Said moneys must be set aside in said fund solely for that purpose and shall be applied on or after the redemption date to payment (principal and premium) for the bonds to be redeemed upon presentation and surrender of such bonds and (except as to bonds registered as to both principal and int- erest) all coupons maturing after the redemption date, and shall be used only for that purpose. Any interest coupons due on or prior to the redemption date shall be paid from the General Ob- ligation Bond Fund provided for herein upon presentation and surrender thereof. Any interest due on or prior to the redemp- tion date upon bonds registered as to both principal and inter- est shall be paid from said Bond Fund. Each bond presented (if unregistered or registered as to principal only) must have attached thereto or presented therewith all interest coupons maturing after the redemption date. If after all of the bonds have been redeemed and cancelled or paid and cancelled there are moneys remaining in said Redemption Fund, said moneys shall be transferred to the general fund of said District; provided, however, that if said moneys are part of the proceeds of re- funding bonds said moneys shall be transferred to the fund created for the payment of principal of and interest on such refunding bonds. SECTION 13. When notice of redemption has been given, sub- stantially as provided for herein, and when the amount necessary for the redemption of the bonds called for redemption (principal and premium) is set aside for that purpose in the Redemption Fund, as provided for herein, the bonds designated for redemption shall become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption thereof, and upon presentation and surrender of said bonds and (except as to bonds registered as to both principal and interest) all interest coupons maturing after the redemption date, at the place specified in the notice of redemption, and if any of said bonds be registered, upon the appropriate assignment thereof in blank, such bonds shall be redeemed and paid at said redemption price out of the Redemption Fund, and no interest will accrue on such bonds called for redemption or on any interest coupons thereof after the redemption date specified in such notice, and the holders of said bonds so called for redemption after such re- demption date shall look for the payment of such bonds and the - 12 - premiums thereon only to said Redemption Fund. All bonds re- deemed and all interest coupons thereof shall be cancelled forthwith and shall not be reissued. All interest coupons pertaining to any redeemed bonds, which coupons have matured on or prior to the time fixed for redemption, shall continue to be payable to the respective holders thereof but without interest thereon. All unpaid int- erest payable at or prior to the date fixed for redemption upon bonds registered in such manner that the interest is payable only to the registered owners shall continue to be payable to the respective registered owners of such bonds, or their order, but without interest thereon. SECTION 14.
