prescribed for such fiscal period;

(3) That if the local government shall fully perform all such obligations during such

initial term of the lease, it shall have an exclusive option to automatically renew the

way obligated to pay the rental stipulated for such fiscal year unless the lease be so

automatically renewed; and that the local government shall, upon any such renewal,

be firmly bound to pay to the authority the rental stipulated for such fiscal period as

a general obligation of the local government to be paid from any funds available to

the local government required by law or by previous binding contract to be devoted

to some other purpose;

(4) In like manner and subject to the same conditions and provisions as are set forth in

subsection (3) of this section, if the local government shall in the first ensuing fiscal

year fully perform its obligations and pay to the authority the renta l stipulated for

such fiscal period, the local government shall have another exclusive option to

automatically renew such lease for another fiscal year, and so on for successive

fiscal periods until the final fiscal period for which the lease may be renewed;

proceedings and trust indenture of the authority, and the aggregate of such

revenues properly accounted for and deposited pursuant to said proceedings

and trust indenture shall, to the extent provided in the lease, be a credit against

the local government's rental or other obligations for the current fiscal period

under the term of the lease, and

(b) Any revenues collected pursuant to KRS 441.685, or other funds as m ay be

provided and made available to the authority by the Commonwealth or other

lease, be a credit against the local government's rental or other obligations for

the then current fiscal period under the lease.
