Each such Series 2010B Bond so purchased, delivered or previously redeemed shall be credited at 100% of the principal amount thereof against the principal amount of the Series 2010B Bonds required to be redeemed on such mandatory sinking fund redemption date.

In either case, (a) the portion of any Bond to be redeemed shall be in the principal amount of $5,000 or some integral multiple thereof and (b) in selecting Bonds for redemption, each Bond shall be considered as representing that number of Bonds that is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond by $5,000. If a portion of a Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond of the same series and maturity in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof. (d) Notice of Redem~ption. The County shall cause notice of the call for redemption identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed to be sent by facsimile transmission, registered or certified mail, or overnight express delivery, not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to DTC or its nominee as the registered owner of the Bonds or, if the book-entry system is discontinued, by registered or certified mail to the registered owners of the Bonds to be redeemed.
