The Bonds constitute a borrowing solely upon the credit of said revenues of the System and do not constitute an indebtedness or pledge of the general credit of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation of indebtedness. Subject to the foregoing, the Net Revenues are irrevocably and irrepealably pledged in an amount sufficient for the payment of this Bond and the issue of which it forms a part in principal and interest as they shall respectively become due and payable, and for the other purposes set forth in the Ordinance.
