<br />15 <br />service on the 2021 Bonds is limited to the extent that it receives the Fixed Cost Allocation for <br />Debt Service component of the Payments from the Members and that other Payments from the <br />Members are sufficient to pay LAVWMA Maintenance and Operation Costs; the Fixed Cost <br />Allocation for Debt Service component of Payments is sized to be equal to the scheduled debt <br />service on the 2021 Bonds (without any coverage). See, however, “ – Rate Stabilization Fund” for <br />a discussion of other moneys that may be available to pay debt service on the 2021 Bonds. <br /> <br />Sewer Service Contract <br /> <br />Payments Comprise LAVWMA Gross Revenues. As explained in the previous section, <br />LAVWMA Gross Revenues principally consist of Payments from DSRSD, on behalf of itself and <br />Pleasanton (see “DUBLIN SAN RAMON SERVICES DISTRICT - Rates and Charges”), and <br />Livermore under the Sewer Service Contract. The Payments made by each Member consist of a <br />fixed percentage (the “Fixed Cost Allocation”) of the debt service on the 2021 Bonds and the <br />LAVWMA Maintenance and Operation Costs, in consideration of the provision by LAVWMA of <br />Sewer Service capacity. <br /> <br />The obligation of the Members to make payments of Fixed LAVWMA Maintenance and <br />Operation Costs (as defined below) is subject to abatement during any period in which there is a <br />material interruption in the Sewer Service to the Members. However, the Members’ Payments <br />for their Fixed Cost Allocation for Debt Service are not subject to abatement. <br /> <br />Security for the Obligation to Make the Payments. Pursuant to the Sewer Service <br />Contract, the Members pledge and create, in favor of LAVWMA and the Trustee for the 2021 <br />Bonds, a lien on the Net Revenues of their respective Sewer Systems, to pay to LAVWMA the <br />amounts owed in order for LAVWMA to pay debt service on the 2021 Bonds. There are three <br />important limitations with respect to this pledge of Net Revenues: <br /> <br />First, this lien is subordinate to the Members’ existing Obligations that are payable <br />from Member Net Revenues as well as Obligations secured by a pledge of Member Net <br />Revenues to be issued in the future by the Members to finance or refinance improvements <br />to their respective Sewer Systems. For avoidance of doubt, the Net Revenues of the <br />District do not include District Local Charges and the Net Revenues of Pleasanton do not <br />include Pleasanton Local Charges or Pleasanton Local Maintenance and Operation <br />Costs. “Obligations” is defined in the Sewer Service Contract as bonds, notes, installment <br />sale agreements or other obligations issued or to be issued by the Members, the proceeds <br />of which are applied to finance or refinance improvements or repair to their respective <br />Sewer Systems, and payable from Charges. <br /> <br />Second, for DSRSD and Pleasanton, “Net Revenues” is not defined in the Sewer <br />Service Contract to include all of the fees, rates and charges collected by DSRSD and <br />Pleasanton in connection with their respective Sewer Systems; DSRSD and Pleasanton <br />have only pledged Regional Service Charges and Regional Capacity Reserve Buy-In Fees <br />(but not Regional Capacity Reserve Fees) as security for their obligation to make the <br />Payments. Livermore, on the other hand, has made a more traditional Net Revenue <br />pledge as security for its obligation to make Payments, as can be seen by reference to <br />the definition of the term “Charges” (see below). The following are the relevant definitions <br />from the Sewer Service Contract: <br /> <br />“Net Revenues” means, for each Member, such Member’s Gross Revenues, less <br />(i) such Member’s Maintenance and Operation Costs and (ii) such Member’s share of
