With respect to the 1992 Revenue Bonds, $13,130,000 of the current interest term bonds stated to mature on July 1,2015, are
subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on July 1,2014, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount, plus accrued

cash with the trustee and is included in the debt service fund on the balance sheet. The current interest serial bonds stated to mature

deposited in the general account maintained by the Authority under the Trust Agreement. The Series 1994 Bonds issued in
accordance with the provisions of the 1985 Trust Agreement, as supplemented, and interest thereon, do not constitute a debt or
