The City or the Registrar may require the Owner -4- of such Bond to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith and any other expenses connected therewith, in- cluding the fees and expenses of the Registrar. If any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed, or wrongfully taken, the City, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence of notice or knowledge that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall exe- cute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a re- placement Bond of like maturity, interest rate and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, provided that the Owner thereof shall have: (a) furnished to the City and the Registrar satisfactory evidence of the ownership of and the circumstances of the loss, destruction or theft of such Bond; (b) furnished such security or indemnity as may be required by the Registrar and the City to save them harmless; (c) paid all expenses and charges in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, printing costs, legal fees, fees of the Registrar and any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed; and (d) met any other reasonable requirements of the City and the Registrar.

If any such mutilated, lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the City in its discretion may, instead of issuing a replacement Bond, authorize the Registrar to pay such Bond. Each replacement Bond delivered in accordance with this Section 2.10 shall be entitled to the benefits and security of this Ordinance to the same extent as the Bond or Bonds in lieu of which such replacement Bond is delivered.

Any notice given as pro- vided in this Section 3.3 shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives such notice. By the date fixed for redemption, due provision shall be made with the Registrar for payment of the redemp- tion price of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
