Investopedia explains 'Net Revenue Pledge'

Similar to other restrictive provisions contained in bond indentures, a net revenue pledge serves to make the bond issue less risky for bondholders. Since the pledge effectively forces the government to use revenue from its debt-financed projects to pay debt service costs first, bondholders enjoy a reduced risk of default.
