Local Authority stating in proper detail the purpose for which such withdrawal is made.

(e) If the Local Authority (1) in the determination of the Government, is in Substantial Default, or (2) makes or has made any fraudulent or willful misrepresentation of any material fact in any of the documents or data submitted to the Government pursuant to this ACC or in any document or data submitted to the Government as a basis for this ACC or as an inducement to the Government to enter into this ACC, the Government shall have the right to require any bank or other depositary which holds any monies of the General Fund, to refuse to permit any withdrawals of such monies; Provided, however, that upon the curing of such Default the Government shall promptly rescind such requirement.

2.15. Pooling of funds under special conditions and revolving fund. (a) The Local Authority may deposit under the terms of the General Depositary Agreement monies received or held by the Local Authority in connection with any other housing project developed or operated by the Local Authority pursuant to the provisions of any contract for annual contributions, administration, or lease between the Local Authority and the Government.

(b) The Local Authority may also deposit under the terms of the General Depositary Agreement amounts necessary for current expenditures of any other project or enterprise of the Local Authority, including any project or enterprise in which the Government has no financial interest; Provided, however, that such deposits shall be lumpsum transfers from the depositaries of such other projects or enterprises, and shall in no event be deposits of the direct revenues or receipts of such other projects or enterprises.

(c) If the Local Authority operates other projects or enterprises in which the Government has no financial interest, it may from time to time, withdraw such amounts as the Government may approve from monies on deposit under the General Depositary Agreement for deposit in and disbursement from a revolving fund provided for the payment of items chargeable in part to the Projects and in part to other projects or enterprises of the Local Authority; Provided, however, that all deposits in such revolving fund shall be lump sum transfers from the depositaries of the related projects or enterprises and shall in no event be deposits of the direct revenues or receipts.

(d) The Local Authority may establish petty cash or change funds in reasonable amounts, from monies on deposit under the General Depositary Agreement.

(e) In no event shall the Local Authority withdraw from any of the funds or accounts authorized under this Section 2.15 amounts

2.16. Assignment of Interest in project to government; continuance of annual contributions. Upon the occurrence of a Substantial Default (as herein defined) with respect to any Project the Local Authority shall, if the Government so requires, assign to the Government all of its rights and interests in and to the Project, or such part thereof as the Government may specify, and the Government shall continue to pay Annual Contributions with respect to dwelling units covered by Housing Assistance Payments Contracts in accordance with the terms of this ACC until reassigned to the Local Authority. After the Government shall be satisfied that all defaults with respect to the Project have been cured and that the Project will thereafter be operated in accordance with the terms of this ACC, the Government shall reassign to the Local Authority all of the rights and interests of the Government in and to the Project as such rights and interests exist at the time of such reassignment.

2.17. Remedies not exclusive and nonwaivers of remedies. Any remedy provided for herein shall not be exclusive or preclude the Owner, LHA and/or the Government from exercising any other remedy available under this ACC or under any provisions of law, nor shall any action taken in the exercise of any remedy be deemed a waiver of any other rights or remedies available to such parties. Failure on the part of any such party to exercise any right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor operate to deprive the party of the right thereafter to take any remedial action for the same or any subsequent default.

2.18. Interest of members, officers, or employees of local authority, members of local governing body, or other public officials.

(a) Neither the Local Authority nor any of its contractors or their subcontractors shall enter into any contract, subcontract, or arrangement, in connection with any Project, in which any member, officer, or employee of the Local Authority, or any member of the governing body of the locality in which the Project is situated, or any member of the governing body of the locality in which the Authority was activated, or any other public official of such locality or localities who exercises any responsibilities or functions with respect to the Project during his tenure or for one year thereafter has any interest, direct or indirect.
