ARTICLE IV <br />SECURITY; FUNDS; COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER <br />SECTION 4.01. BONDS NOT TO BE INDEBTEDNESS OF ISSUER. The <br />Bonds shall not be or constitute general obligations or indebtedness of the Issuer as "bonds" within <br />the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, but shall be special obligations of the <br />Issuer, payable solely from amounts budgeted and appropriated by the Issuer from Non -Ad <br />Valorem Revenues in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof. No Holder of any Bond shall ever <br />have the right to compel the exercise of any ad valorem taxing power to pay such Bond or be <br />entitled to payment of such Bond from any moneys of the Issuer except from the Non -Ad Valorem <br />Revenues in the manner and to the extent provided herein. <br />SECTION 4.02. COVENANT TO BUDGET AND APPROPRIATE; <br />PAYMENT OF BONDS. The Issuer covenants and agrees to appropriate in its annual budget, <br />by amendment, if necessary, from Non -Ad Valorem Revenues amounts sufficient to (A) pay <br />principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, and (B) pay all required deposits to the Rebate <br />Account pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof. Such covenant and agreement on the part of the Issuer <br />to budget and appropriate such amounts of Non -Ad Valorem Revenues shall be cumulative to the <br />extent not paid and shall continue until such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues or other legally available <br />funds in amounts sufficient to make all such required payments shall have been budgeted, <br />appropriated and actually paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing covenant of the Issuer, the Issuer <br />does not covenant to maintain any services or programs, now provided or maintained by the Issuer, <br />which generate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues. <br />Such covenant to budget and appropriate does not create any lien upon or pledge of such <br />Non -Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it preclude the Issuer from pledging in the future its Non - <br />Ad Valorem Revenues, nor does it require the Issuer to levy and collect any particular Non -Ad <br />Valorem Revenues, nor does it give the Bondholders a prior claim on the Non -Ad Valorem <br />Revenues as opposed to claims of general creditors of the Issuer. Such covenant to budget and <br />appropriate Non -Ad Valorem Revenues is subject in all respects to the payment of obligations <br />secured by a pledge of such Non -Ad Valorem Revenues heretofore or hereafter entered into <br />(including the payment of debt service on bonds and other debt instruments). However, the <br />covenant to budget and appropriate for the purposes and in the manner stated herein shall have the <br />effect of making available for the payment of the Bonds, in the manner described herein, Non -Ad <br />Valorem Revenues and placing on the Issuer a positive duty to appropriate and budget, by <br />amendment, if necessary, amounts sufficient to meet its obligations hereunder; subject, however, <br />to the payment of services and programs which are for essential public purposes affecting the <br />health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of the Issuer or which are legally mandated by <br />applicable law. <br />The Issuer covenants and agrees to transfer to the Paying Agent for the Bonds, solely from <br />funds budgeted and appropriated as described in this Section 4.02, on or before the date designated <br />for payment of any principal of or interest on the Bonds, sufficient moneys to pay such principal <br />or interest. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall utilize such moneys for payment of the principal <br />and interest on the Bonds when due. <br />23 <br />
