§  2490-i.  Bonds  of  the  authority. 1. The authority shall have the power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable bonds in conformity with applicable provisions of the uniform commercial code for its corporate purposes in the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding fifteen million dollars. The authority shall have  power  from time  to  time  and  whenever it deems refunding expedient to refund any bonds by the issuance of new bonds, whether the  bonds  to  be  refunded have  or  have  not  matured, and may issue bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for any other purpose hereinabove described. In computing the total amount of bonds of the authority,  which  may  at any  time  be  outstanding,  the  amount  of the outstanding bonds to be refunded from the proceeds of the sale of new bonds or by  exchange  for new  bonds  shall  be  excluded.    Except as may otherwise be expressly provided by the authority, the bonds of every  issue  shall  be  general obligations  of  the  authority payable out of any moneys or revenues of the authority, subject only  to  any  agreements  with  the  holders  of particular bonds pledging any particular moneys or revenues.   2.  Bonds  shall  be  authorized by resolution of the authority, be in such denominations and bear such date or dates, mature at such  time  or times,  except  that  notes and any renewals thereof shall mature within five years from the date of the original  issuance  and  bonds  and  any renewals  thereof  shall mature within thirty years from the date of the original issuance. The bonds and notes shall be subject to such terms of redemption, bear interest at such rate or rates payable at  such  times, be  in  such  form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable  in  such  medium  of payment  at  such  place  or  places,  and  be subject to such terms and conditions as such resolution may provide. Bonds may be sold  at  public or  private  sale  for  such  price  or  prices  as  the authority shall determine.   3. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing bonds  or  any  issue  of bonds  may  contain  provisions which may be a part of the contract with the holders of the bonds thereby authorized as to:  (a) Pledging all or any part of the revenues, other moneys or property of the authority to secure the payment of the bonds, including  but  not limited  to  any  contracts,  earnings  or  proceeds of any grant to the authority received from any private or public source;  (b) The setting aside of reserves and the creation  of  sinking  funds and the regulation and disposition thereof;  (c)  Limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds from the sale of bonds may be applied;  (d) The rates, rents, fees and other charges to be fixed and collected by the authority and the amount to be raised in each  year  thereby  and the use and disposition of revenues;  (e) Limitations on the right of the authority to restrict and regulate the  use  of  the project or part thereof in connection with which bonds are issued;  (f) Limitations on the issuance of additional bonds,  the  terms  upon which  additional  bonds  may be issued and secured and the refunding of outstanding or other bonds;  (g) The procedure, if any, by which the terms  of  any  contract  with bondholders  may  be  amended  or  abrogated,  the  amount of bonds, the holders of which must consent thereto  and  the  manner  in  which  such consent may be given;  (h)  The  creation  of special funds into which any revenues or moneys may be deposited;  (i) The terms and provisions of any trust deed or  indenture  securing the bonds under which the bonds may be issued;  (j)  Vesting  in a trustee or trustees such properties, rights, powers and duties in trust as the authority may determine which may include any or all of the rights, powers and duties of the trustee appointed by  the bondholders  pursuant  to  section  twenty-four hundred ninety-j of this title  and  limiting  or  abrogating  the  rights  of the bondholders to appoint a trustee under such section or limiting the rights, duties  and powers of such trustee;  (k)  Defining  the  acts  or  omissions  to act which may constitute a default  in  the  obligations  and  duties  of  the  authority  to   the bondholders and providing for the rights and remedies of the bondholders in  the  event  of  such  default,  including  as  a matter of right the appointment of a receiver,  provided,  however,  that  such  rights  and remedies  shall  not  be inconsistent with the general laws of the state and other provisions of this title;  (l) Limitations on the power of the authority  to  sell  or  otherwise dispose of any project or any part thereof;  (m)  Limitations  on  the  amount  of  revenues and other moneys to be expended  for  operating,  administrative  or  other  expenses  of   the authority;  (n) The payment of the proceeds of bonds, revenues and other moneys to a  trustee  or  other  depository,  and  for  the method of disbursement thereof with such safeguards  and  restrictions  as  the  authority  may determine; and  (o)  Any other matters of like or different character which in any way affect the security or  protection  of  the  bonds  or  the  rights  and remedies of bondholders.   4.  In  addition  to the powers herein conferred upon the authority to secure its bonds, the authority shall have power in connection with  the issuance  of  bonds  to  enter into such agreements as the authority may deem  necessary,  consistent  or  desirable  concerning   the   use   or disposition  of  its revenues or other moneys or property, including the mortgaging of any property and the entrusting, pledging or  creation  of any other security interest in any such revenues, moneys or property and the doing of any act (including refraining from doing any act) which the authority  would have the right to do in the absence of such agreements. The authority shall have power to enter  into  amendments  of  any  such agreements  within the powers granted to the authority by this title and to perform such agreements. The provisions of any such agreements may be made a part of the contract with the holders of bonds of the authority.   5. Any provision of  the  uniform  commercial  code  to  the  contrary notwithstanding,  any  pledge of or other security interest in revenues, moneys, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles or other personal property made or created by the authority shall be  valid,  binding  and perfected  from  the  time  when  such  pledge is made or other security interest attaches without any physical delivery  of  the  collateral  or further  act, and the lien of any such pledge or other security interest shall be valid, binding and perfected against all parties having  claims of  any  kind  in  tort,  contract  or  otherwise  against the authority irrespective of whether or not such  parties  have  notice  thereof.  No instrument by which such a plege or security interest is created nor any financing statement need be recorded or filed.   6.  Whether  or  not the bonds are of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of the uniform  commercial  code, the  bonds  are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of the uniform commercial code, subject only to the provisions of the bonds for registration.    7. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing bonds shall be liable  personally  thereon  or  be  subject  to  any  personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.   8.  The authority, subject to such agreements with bondholders as then may exist, shall have power out of  any  moneys  available  therefor  to purchase  bonds of the authority, which shall thereupon be cancelled, at a price not exceeding:  (a) If the bonds  are  then  redeemable,  the  redemption  price  then applicable, plus accrued interest to the next interest payment date;  (b)  If  the  bonds  are  not  then  redeemable,  the redemption price applicable on the first date after such purchase upon  which  the  bonds become  subject to redemption plus accrued interest to the next interest payment date.
