A.  Moneys placed in any escrow or trust account shall not necessarily be limited to proceeds of refunding bonds but may include other moneys legally available for that purpose.

C.  The escrow agent shall continuously secure any moneys placed in an escrow or trust account and not so invested or reinvested in federal securities by a pledge of federal securities with a market value determined on a daily basis at least equal to the total uninvested moneys held in such escrow or trust account in strict accordance with the provisions of the escrow agreement.  The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to any said uninvested moneys insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

D.  Such moneys and investments in the escrow or trust account, together with the interest or other gain to be derived from any such investments, shall at all times be at least sufficient to make all of the payments required to be made pursuant to the escrow agreement in the manner and at the times specified in the escrow agreement. The computations made in determining such sufficiency shall be verified by a certified public accountant.  Said computations shall be certified within five (5) days prior to the delivery of and payment for the refunded bonds.
