Flow of Funds
From Revenue Fund (Airport System Fund where all Gross Revenues are deposited), application priority: (1) Operating Expenses — Pay first; (2) Debt Service — Principal and interest (Revenue Bond Interest and Principal Fund); (3) Debt Service Reserve — Maintain required level (Revenue Bond Reserve Fund); (4) General Obligation Bonds (if any); (5) Subordinate Securities (if any); (6) FF&E Reserve Fund (for Hotel periodic renovations); (7) Operation and Maintenance Reserve Fund; (8) Renewal & Replacement Fund; (9) Coverage Fund — Build rolling coverage; (10) Capital Improvement Fund; (11) Discretionary/Prepaid Airline Fund — Airport's use per grant assurances. Monies held in the Airport System Fund are applied first to the payment of all current Operation and Maintenance Expenses and then to the Revenue Bond Interest and Principal Fund and Revenue Bond Reserve Fund in the amounts required. Although certain PFCs, CFCs and other monies may be irrevocably designated as Dedicated Revenues, such monies will not be pledged to secure Authority Revenue Bonds pursuant to such designations. The Authority may agree to hold such PFCs and other monies exclusively to pay a portion of the debt service on Authority Revenue Bonds and related Qualified Derivative Agreement payments, to the extent allowed by law. Revenues remaining after the payment of Operation and Maintenance Expenses, debt service on all Outstanding Authority Bonds, General Obligation Bonds (if any) and Subordinate Securities (if any) and other fund deposit requirements (including the Capital Improvement Fund, FF&E Reserve Fund, and Coverage Fund) are transferred to the Prepaid Airline Fund.
