(1) Moneys sufficient to pay when and as due all amounts of principal and interest payable on such bonds; or
(2) Direct obligations of the United States of America or the state, or obligations fully and irrevocably secured as to the payment of both principal and interest by such direct obligations the payment on which when due will provide moneys, sufficient to pay when and as due all amounts of principal and interest payable on such bonds.
(c) All such amounts shall be set aside and held in trust and irrevocably dedicated solely to the payment of such bonds, except that amounts in excess of the amounts required for the payment of the bonds so refunded may be applied to the payment of costs related to the issuance, carrying, insuring or servicing the refunding bonds, including costs of credit or market enhancement services, such as letters of credit, remarketing arrangements and similar services. Any amount deposited pursuant to this section may include amounts already held on deposit in trust for the payment of the bonds to be refunded.
