The Issuer shall next deposit the entire gross revenues derived from the operation of the facilities, upon receipt thereof, into a special fund which is hereby created and designated the "1976 Tp7ater Revenue Fund" (hereinafter sometimes called the "1976 Revenue Fund").

Moneys in the 1976 Reserve Account shall be used only for the purpose of the payment of maturing principal of or interest on the obligations when the moneys in the 1976 Interest and Sinking Fund are insufficient therefor, and for no other purpose. Any withdrawals from the 1976 Reserve Account shall subsequently be restored from the first moneys in the 1976 Revenue Fund available after all required prior payments, including all deficiencies for prior payments, have been made in full. (iii) Upon the issuance by the Village of ary additional parity obligations under the terms, limitations and conditions provided in this Ordinance, the payments into the 1976 Interest and Sinking Fund sYlall be increased in such amounts in direct ratio as are necessary to pay the Annual Debt Service Requirements for such additional parity obligations.

(iv) The Issuer shall not be required to make any further payments into the 1976 Interest and Sinking Fund. or the 1976 Reserve Account when the aggregate amount of moneys in such fund and. account are. at least equal to the aggregate principal amount of_ obliga- tions then outstanding, plus the amount of interest due or thereafter to become due on such obligations then outstand~.ng. (3) The Renewal and Replacement Funds created by the 1.967 -17- ,~ ~ ! • • Ordinance and the 1975 Resolution shall continue to be maintained as long as any of the obligations, or interest thereon, issued pursuant to this Ordinance shall remain outstanding and unpaid and the payments required to be made therein shall continue to be made for the benefit of the holders of the obligations issued hereunder upon the retirement of all the Prior Lien Certificates. (4) Thereafter, the balance of any moneys remaining in the Revenue Fund, after all of the above required current monthly payments have been made, may immediately be used by the Issuer for . any lawful purpose; provided,, however, that none of said moneys shall ever be used for any purposes other than those hereinabove specified, unless all current payments, including any deficiencies for prior payments, have been made in full and unless the Issuer shall have complied fully with all the covenants and provisions of this Ordinance.
