   1. (A) Barrier System
   2. (B) Ticket System

4. (3) Notwithstanding the toll levels determined in accordance with this section, the actual tolls charged by the concessionaire will be rounded to:

   1. (A) the nearest $0.01 if the toll is collected using an electronic tolling system; and
   2. (B) the nearest $0.10 in the event that such toll is not collected using an electronic tolling system.

5. (4) The maximum toll for any journey will be calculated as the sum of the tolls for each segment of the toll road included in the journey, subject to the following:

   1. (A) Tolls at Westpoint (MP 1) and at ramp plazas to and from the east at Calumet Avenue (MP 5) and Cline Avenue (MP 10) will be computed assuming the trips were to/from Portage (MP 24).
   2. (B) Tolls at ramp plazas to and from the west at I-65 Gary East (MP 17), I-94/Lake Station (MP 21) and Willow Creek (MP 23) will be computed assuming the trips were to/from Buchanan Street (MP 13).

(g) The table below presents the mileage that shall be used when determining maximum (or minimum) toll levels for any segment of the toll road, provided that if the location of any of the toll plazas is changed or a new toll plaza is added, then the segment lengths shall be adjusted to reflect such change in a manner consistent with the methodology used in preparation of the table below:

(h) The only charges that the concessionaire may impose on toll road users are the tolls authorized pursuant to this section. For avoidance of doubt and in confirmation and furtherance of the foregoing, as of the closing date, the concessionaire may not charge administration fees related to use of the toll road nor impose interest rates on unpaid tolls or fees related to use of the toll road.
