1. The cost of maintaining, repairing and operating such project or projects; and

2. The principal of and the interest of bonds issued for the purpose of financing Authority projects as the same shall become due and payable, and to create reserves for such purposes.

The compensation derived from the projects in connection with which the bonds of any issue shall have been issued, except such part thereof as may be necessary to pay for maintenance, repair, and operation and to provide such reserves therefor as may be provided for in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or in the trust agreement securing the same shall be set aside at such regular intervals as may be provided in such resolution or such trust agreement in a sinking fund which is hereby pledged to, and charged with, the payment of:

1. The interest upon such bonds as such interest shall become due;

2. The principal of such bonds as the same shall fall due;

3. The necessary charges of paying agents for paying principal and interest; and

4. The redemption price or the purchase price of bonds retired by call or purchased as herein provided, which are a charge against such fund.

C. The use and disposition of monies to the credit of such sinking fund shall be subject to the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or of such trust agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided for in such resolution or such trust agreement, such sinking fund shall be a fund for all such bond issues without distinction or priority of one over another. The money in the sinking fund, less such reserve as may be provided in such resolution or trust agreement, if not used within a reasonable time for the purchase of bonds for cancellation as above provided, shall be applied to the redemption of bonds at the redemption price then applicable.
