(d) The corporation may use money in each fund as follows:
(1) If an agreement described in section 12 of this chapter has been entered into between the corporation and the executive, or, if applicable, the executives, for any purpose authorized in the agreement.
(2) If an agreement described in section 12 of this chapter has not been entered into between the corporation and the executive, or, if applicable, the executives, for the following purposes:

(1) if an agreement described in section 12 of this chapter has been entered into between the corporation and the executive, or if applicable, the executives, the amount of incremental property tax revenues determined in the agreement; and
(2) if an agreement described in section 12 of this chapter has not been entered into between the corporation and the executive, or if applicable, the executives, an amount of incremental property tax revenues that may not be less than twelve percent (12%) of the annual amount of incremental property tax revenue deposited under subsection (b)(1);
to the general fund of each city, town, county, or school corporation with territory located within the innovation development district. If the corporation is required to transfer funds to more than one (1) city, town, county, or school corporation under this subsection, the amount transferred to each city, town, county, and school corporation must be allocated among each city, town, county, and school corporation proportionately based on each city's, town's, county's, and school corporation's property tax levy applied to property located within the innovation development district.
