(a) The corporation shall establish and maintain a fund called the "South Jersey Port Corporation Reserve Fund" in which there shall be deposited (1) moneys appropriated therefor by the State, (2) proceeds of bonds required to be deposited therein by terms of any contracts between the corporation and its bondholders, and (3) other moneys or funds of the corporation which it determines to deposit. Moneys in the reserve fund shall be held and applied solely to the payment of the interest on and principal of bonds of the corporation as the same shall become due and payable and for the retirement of bonds, and shall not be withdrawn therefrom if such withdrawal would reduce the amount in such fund to less than the "maximum debt service reserve," as hereinafter defined, except for payment of interest then due and payable on bonds and the principal of bonds then maturing and for the retirement of bonds in accordance with the terms of any contracts between the corporation and its bondholders and for which payment of interest or principal or retirement of bonds other moneys of the corporation are not then available in accordance with the terms of any such contracts. As herein used "maximum debt service reserve" means, as of any date of computation, the largest amount of money required by the terms of any contracts between the corporation and its bondholders to be raised in any succeeding calendar year for the payment of interest on and maturing principal of outstanding bonds and payments required by the terms of any such contracts to sinking funds established for the payment or redemption of such bonds, calculated on the assumption that bonds will cease to be outstanding after date of such computation by reason of the payment of bonds at their respective maturities and the payments of such required moneys to sinking funds and the application thereof in accordance with the terms of any such contracts to the retirement of bonds. Moneys in said fund at any time in excess of the maximum debt service reserve, whether by reason of investment or otherwise, may be withdrawn at any time by the corporation and transferred to any other fund or account of the corporation. (b) Moneys at any time in the South Jersey Port Corporation Reserve Fund or in any other fund or account of the corporation may be invested in any obligations of, or as to which the principal and interest is guaranteed by, this State or the United States, or in certificates of deposit secured by obligations of this State or of the United States. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this act, no bonds shall be issued by the corporation unless there is in the reserve fund the maximum debt service reserve for all bonds issued and bonds about to be issued, provided, however, that nothing shall preclude the corporation from satisfying the foregoing requirement by depositing so much of the proceeds of the bonds about to be issued, upon their issuance as is needed to achieve the maximum debt service reserve.
