In the case of the Principal Deficiency Ledger and each Principal Deficiency Sub Ledger, a credit item shall only be made to the extent that such entry does not cause such ledger to have a credit balance. 10. REVENUE LEDGER The Cash Manager shall ensure that: (a) the following amounts shall be credited to the Revenue Ledger: (i) all Revenue Receipts; and (ii) all interest received by the Mortgages Trustee on the Mortgages Trustee GIC Account; and (b) any payment or provision made under paragraph 3 above shall be debited to the Revenue Ledger. 11.
