(2) The loan must be repaid not later than ten (10) years after the date on which the loan was made.
(3) The terms of the loan must allow for prepayment of the loan without penalty.
(4) The maximum amount of the loan that a qualifying taxing unit may receive with respect to a default described in section 1(c)(3) of this chapter on one (1) or more payments of property taxes first due and payable in a calendar year is the amount, as determined by the board, of revenue shortfall for the qualifying taxing unit that results from the default for that calendar year.
(5) The total amount of all loans under this chapter for all calendar years may not exceed thirteen million dollars ($13,000,000).
(b) The board may disburse in installments the proceeds of a loan made under this chapter.
(c) A qualified taxing unit may repay a loan made under this chapter from any of the following:
(1) Property tax revenues of the qualified taxing unit that are subject to the levy limitations imposed by IC 6-1.1-18.5 or (before January 1, 2009) IC 6-1.1-19.
(2) Property tax revenues of the qualified taxing unit that are not subject to levy limitations as provided in IC 6-1.1-18.5-21(a) or (before January 1, 2009) IC 6-1.1-19-13.
(3) The qualified taxing unit's debt service fund.
(4) Any other source of revenues (other than property taxes) that is legally available to the qualified taxing unit.

(d) The obligation to repay a loan made under this chapter is not a basis for the qualified taxing unit to obtain an excessive tax levy under IC 6-1.1-18.5 or (before January 1, 2009) IC 6-1.1-19.
(e) Whenever the board receives a payment on a loan made under this chapter, the board shall deposit the amount paid in the counter-cyclical revenue and economic stabilization fund.
