With respect to any BANs or Bonds sold to the Authority as part of its IFA Program, to the extent that(a) the total principal amount of the BANs or Bonds is not paid by the purchaser or drawn down by the City, or(b)proceeds remain in the Construction Account and are not applied to the Project (or any modifications or additions thereto approved by the Authority), the City shall reduce the principal amount of the remaining Bond maturities to effect such reduction in amounts which will still achieve the annual debt service as described in Section III(b) subject to and upon the terms set forth in the Financial Assistance Agreement.

The term "Net Revenues,"as used herein, shall be defined as the gross revenues of the works, including System Development Charges, after deduction only for the payment of the reasonable expenses of operation, repair and maintenance of the works, and which reasonable expenses of operation, repair and maintenance specifically do not include any rates or charges in lieu of taxes made and collected by the works and transferred to the City in accordance with the Act (the "PILOT Payment"). The City specifically subordinates its right to receive any PILOT Payment to the rights of the holders of the Bonds,and any Parity Bonds,including the Prior Bonds, to receive payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, payable on such bonds. PILOT Payments may be made only if all monthly deposits required by this Ordinance are current and held as of such dates in the Operation and Maintenance Fund and the Sinking Fund(each as defined herein). Other than PILOT Payments and normal and regular pro rata payments to the City for shared expenses charged by the City to its various departments, no moneys derived from the revenues of the works shall be transferred to the General Fund of the City or be used for any purpose not connected with the works. For purposes of this ordinance, "System Development Charges" shall mean the proceeds and balances from any non-recurring charges related to or associated with the waterworks of the City such as tap fees, subsequent connector fees, capacity or contribution fees, and other similar one-time charges that are available for deposit under this ordinance. SECTION XIII. Revenue Fund. There is hereby continued a fund of the utility created and designated in the Prior Ordinances as the Revenue Fund (the "Revenue Fund"). All income and revenues derived from the operation of the works (including System Development Charges) shall be paid into the Revenue Fund for application as described below. All monies deposited in the Revenue Fund may be invested in accordance with the provisions of I.C. § 5-13- 9, as amended, and other applicable laws. The Revenue Fund shall be maintained separate and apart from all other accounts of the City. No monies derived from the revenues of the System shall be transferred to the General Fund of the City, or be used for any purpose not connected with the Waterworks, including without limitation Pilot Payments, except as provided by Section XII hereof. 20 -
