If the deposit is in the form of coupon bonds, the custodian shall deliver each coupon as it matures to the contractor.(3) Any amount deducted by the department, pursuant to the terms of the contract, from the retained payments otherwise due the contract, shall be deducted first from that portion of such retained payments for which no security has been substituted, then from the proceeds of any deposited security. In the latter case, the contractor shall be entitled to receive interest, coupons or income only from those securities which remain after such amount has been deducted.(4) The securities so deposited shall be properly endorsed by the contractor in such manner so as to enable the custodian to carry out the provisions of this section.Effective:6/17/1978
