Monthly, an amount in approximately equal monthly installments necessary, together with any moneys therein and available therefor, to pay 1/6 of the next maturing installment of interest on the Bonds and additional Parity Securities. (2) Principal Payments. Monthly, an amount in approximately equal monthly installments necessary, together with any moneys therein and available therefor, to pay 1/12 of any installment of principal of the outstanding Bonds and additional Parity Securities payable in the Bond Year during which such payment occurs. The moneys credited to the Debt Service Fund shall be used solely to promptly pay when due the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds, and any other Parity Securities then outstanding, except as otherwise provided in this Ordinance. Investment or interest income of the Debt Service Fund shall remain therein for payment of the Bonds. The Debt Service Fund (i) is established primarily to achieve a proper matching of revenues and debt service within each year and (ii) will be depleted at least once a year except for a reasonable carry-over amount (not to exceed the greater of (a) one year's earnings on the Debt Service Fund or (b) one-twelfth of annual debt service). The Issuer shall be entitled to credits against such payments for any sums on hand in the Debt Service Fund which are available for the payment of Debt Service Requirements, including investment income from the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve Fund.

If at any time the Issuer shall for any reason fail to pay into the Debt Service Fund the full amount above stipulated, then the Issuer shall pay into the Debt Service Fund at such time from the Reserve Fund an amount equal to the difference between that paid from the Pledged Revenues and the full amount so stipulated. For the purpose of maintaining the Reserve Fund at the minimum amount required to be maintained therein, the money so used shall be replaced and transferred to the Reserve Fund from the first Pledged Revenues credited to the Capital Improvement Fund thereafter received and not required to be otherwise applied by section 5B hereof. In the event that said first moneys credited to the Capital Improvement Fund have been insufficient during a given Fiscal Year to rebuild the Reserve Fund to the minimum amount required to be maintained therein, then during the month of December of said Fiscal Year, the Issuer shall credit to the Capital Improvement Fund for transfer to the Reserve Fund, from legally available proceeds other than the Pledged Revenue, a sum equal to the difference between the minimum amount required to be maintained in the Reserve Fund and any lesser sum deposited therein.

Upon deposit of an amount in the Escrow Fund sufficient to satisfy the defeasance requirements of section 9 -24- of Ordinance No. 767, 1988, the pledge and lien of the Refunded Bonds and all obligations under such ordinance shall be discharged and the Refunded Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding. The Escrow Agent is authorized to subscribe for United states Treasury Securities - state and Local Government Series, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement in such amounts and with such maturities and interest rates as may be necessary to accomplish the payment and discharge of the entire indebtedness of the Refunded Bonds.

In accordance with the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall invest the funds on deposit in the Escrow Account in non-callable Federal Securities only, and shall fully secure any cash balance in the Escrow Account in the manner required by law for other trust funds. If for any reason the funds on hand in the Escrow Fund shall be at any time insufficient to meet payments of the principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Refunded Bonds as the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Escrow Agreement, the Issuer shall forthwith deposit in the Escrow Fund, from the Pledged Revenues, such additional funds as may be required to pay the entire amount about to become due and payable. Subject to the terms of this Ordinance, moneys shall be withdrawn from the Escrow Account solely for the purpose of paying and in amounts sufficient to pay the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest accrued on each Refunded Bond as it matures or is presented for redemption.

In such case, moneys in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve Fund (except for any known interest or other gain to accrue from any investment or deposit of moneys pursuant to Section 6B hereof from the time of any such investment or deposit to the time or respective times the proceeds of any such investment or deposit shall be needed for such payment, at least equal to such Debt Service Requirements) shall be used together with any such gain from such investments and deposits solely to pay such Debt Service Requirements as the same become due. Any moneys in excess thereof in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve Fund and any other moneys derived from the Pledged Revenues may be used in any lawful manner determined by the Issuer. The moneys in the Debt Service Fund and the Reserve Fund shall be used solely and only for the purpose of paying the Debt Service Requirements of the Bonds and any other Parity Securities authorized and outstanding from time to time; but any moneys at any time in excess of the minimum amount required to be maintained in the Reserve Fund may be withdrawn therefrom, and transferred from time to time to the Debt Service Fund and distributed in the same manner as other moneys in the Debt Service Fund.

(4) Adlustment of Revenues. In the computation of the revenues test herein, the amount of the Pledged Revenues for such Fiscal Year may be increased by the amount of gain which is estimated by the City Administrator of the Issuer to result from any increase in the amount of the Pledged Revenue proceeds during the Fiscal Year as provided in an ordinance providing for increase in the Sales Tax rates contributed to the Capital Improvement Fund or additions of sources of Pledged Revenues if such ordinance is effective and the referendum period therefor has expired prior to the issuance of the Parity Securities.

To that end, the Issuer will comply with all requirements of section 148 of the Code to the extent applicable to the Bonds. In the event that at any time the Issuer is of the opinion that for purposes of this paragraph, it is necessary to restrict or limit the yield on the investment of any moneys held by the Issuer under this Ordinance, the Issuer shall take such action as may be necessary.
