(d) In the event that any issues of bonded indebtedness existing, prior to the date of enactment of this section, provide by the terms of the issue an alternate means of paying principal and interest, including but not limited to the establishment of a sinking fund or advance payment, then such payment shall be made in accordance with the terms of such bond indenture.
