1. The directors may use a revolving fund to pay the obligations or add to the capital of the association or retire its preferred stock. In that event the deferred patronage dividends credited to members constitute a charge on the revolving fund, on future additions to the revolving fund, and on the corporate assets, subordinate to existing or future creditors and preferred stockholders. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, deferred patronage dividends for any year have priority over those for subsequent years.
