Such guaranty shall be executed on each bond by an officer of the trustees. Each such contract shall contain such limitations as to the cost of the project or projects, if any, to be financed by the bonds to be guaranteed under this section and current operating and administrative expenses of the Authority to be allocated thereto, and such other provisions as the trustees may require. The Authority shall create a reserve for principal and interest on all bonds with respect to which such a contract or contracts shall have been executed and which are secured by a single trust agreement and shall make deposits in such reserve as hereinafter required. For the purposes of this paragraph the term "annual series requirement" shall mean one-twelfth of the largest amount of principal and interest payments due on anyone issue or series of bonds secured by a single trust agreement in any year after the twelfth year next succeeding the year in which such issue or series of bonds was issued, and the term "year" shall mean a calendar year.

In each year commencing with the first year succeeding the year in which the initial such issue or series of bonds shall be issued the Authority shall deposit in such reserve an amount equal to the aggregate of the annual series requirements in effect for such year in respect of all issues or series of bonds bonds of which are outstanding on the first day of such year minus or plus, as the case may be, the excess or deficiency of the amount on deposit in such reserve on such first day, including in such amount interest accrued but unpaid on obligations in which such amount may then be invested, over or under the aggregate of all annual series requirements in effect for prior years in respect of all issues or series of bonds bonds of which are outstanding on such first day; provided, however, that if there shall be any application of such reserve or any portion thereof to the payment of principal or interest on bonds, the amount of any deficiency in the amount thereafter on deposit in such reserve resulting from such application shall be taken into account in computing the amount required to be deposited in such reserve in any year thereafter only to the extent that it is practicable to do so. The principal and interest payments due in any year on any issue or series of bonds shall be determined in accordance with the following when applicable: (1) the principal of bonds for the payment, prepayment, redemption or refunding of which funds are held in trust under the trust agreement shall be treated as not outstanding, and, after notice of any prepayment, redemption or refunding of bonds has been given in accordance with the trust agreement, all interest accruing on such bonds after the date with respect to which the requirements of the trust agreement for prepayment, redemption or refund thereof have been fulfilled shall be treated as not due, and (2) if the Authority shall establish a sinking fund for the payment of the principal of bonds at or prior to maturity, such principal amount of bonds as will be paid or prepaid from any deposit required to be made into such sinking fund shall be treated as if it matured on the date of such deposit and not on the maturity date of such bonds. Unless the trust agreement or a resolution of the Authority shall otherwise provide, all amounts required to be deposited into a reserve under any trust agreement shall be held for the equal benefit and security of all issues and series of bonds issued under such trust agreement. Any reserve may be used whenever necessary to pay principal or interest on bonds of any issue or series of bonds entitled to the benefits thereof, but such reserve shall be restored to the required level as soon as practicable. At any time when the amount on deposit in any reserve equals or exceeds (ft) the aggregate of the twelve annual series requirements to be in effect with respect to any particular such issue or series of bonds bonds of which are then outstanding plus (Q) all annual series requirements in effect for all prior years and for the then current year with respect to all other such issues or series of bonds bonds of which are then outstanding, and when such aggregate plus any other funds of the Authority available for the purpose shall equal or exceed the aggregate amount required to pay in full the principal and redemption price of and interest on all bonds of such particular issue or series then outstanding, the Authority may apply to such payment an amount from such reserve not exceeding such aggregate. If on the first day of any year the amount on deposit in any reserve equals or exceeds the sum of (i) the aggregate of all annual series requirements in effect for prior years plus (1) the annual series requirements for such year, in each case in respect of all such issues or series of bonds bonds of which are outstanding on such first day, the Authority shall not be obliged to make a deposit in such reserve in respect of such year, and, if such amount on deposit exceeds such sum but the conditions for application of the preceding sentence are not then met, the Authority may apply such excess to the payment of interest coming due in such year on bonds of such issue or series. Any such contract may provide for the guaranty by the commonwealth of notes of the Authority issued under section seven, the total amount of which shall not exceed the amount specified in the contract for state financial assistance. The guaranty of the commonwealth provided pursuant to such contract shall be of the payment of the principal of, and interest on, all such notes and bonds as the same become due and payable, and the full faith and credit of the commonwealth is hereby pledged for any such guaranty; provided, that the total amount of notes and bonds so guaranteed shall not exceed forty-two million dollars in the aggregate for all projects of the Authority, exclusive of bonds and notes previously refunded or being or to be refunded thereby.

Any such contract may provide for the guaranty by the commonwealth of notes of the Authority issued under section seven, the total amount -of which shan not exceed the amount specified in the contract for state financial assistance. Such guarantee shan be executed on each note by the signature or facsimile signature of an officer of the trustees. In case any officer of the trustees whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on any note shan cease to be such officer before the delivery thereof, such signature or facsimile signature shan nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. The guaranty of the commonwealth provided pursuant to such contract shall be of the payment of the principal of, and interest on, all such notes and bonds as the same become due and payable, and the full faith and credit of the commonwealth is hereby pledged for any such guaranty; provided, however, that the total principal amount of notes and bonds so guaranteed shall not exceed forty million dollars in the aggregate, exclusive of bonds and notes refunded or being funded thereby.
