 §206J-12 Bonds; bond anticipation notes. (a) The development corporation, with the approval of the governor, may issue bonds in such amounts as authorized from time to time by law and as deemed advisable for any of its corporate purposes. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such bonds shall be payable, subject to the prior payment to the harbor special fund for the loss of revenues or incurrence of costs and expenses because of any action taken by the development corporation or of any rent payable to the department of transportation for the lease of properties within the Aloha Tower complex:  (1) Exclusively from the moneys derived from rates, rentals, fees, and charges of the project financed with the proceeds of such bonds imposed under section 206J-5(b), or from such moneys together with any grant from the government in aid of such project; or  (2) Exclusively from the moneys derived from rates, rentals, fees, and charges of certain designated projects imposed under section 206J-5(b), whether or not they are financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of the bonds; or  (3) From the moneys derived from rates, rentals, fees, and charges imposed under section 206J-5(b), generally, and any other revenues derived by the development corporation from whatever source. All revenue bonds authorized by this section shall be issued pursuant to part III of chapter 39, except as provided in this chapter. The bonds shall be secured by a pledge of such moneys and may be additionally secured by a mortgage of any project or other property of the development corporation to the extent of its interest therein. Neither the board members nor any person executing the bonds shall be liable personally on the bonds by reason of the issuance thereof.  (b) Bonds issued pursuant to this chapter may be in one or more issues and in one or more series within an issue and shall be authorized pursuant to resolution of the board. The bonds shall be dated, may bear interest at such rate or rates payable at such time or times as the corporation may determine with the approval of the governor, except for deeply discounted bonds which are subject to redemption or retirement at the accreted value thereof; provided that the discounted value of such bonds shall not exceed ten per cent of issue and no such bond shall be issued without prior approval of the director of finance and the governor, shall mature at such time or times not exceeding forty years from their date or dates, shall have such rank or priority, and may be made redeemable before maturity at the option of the development corporation, the holders, or either, at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions, all as may be determined by the development corporation. The development corporation shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and the manner of execution of the bonds, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and, subject to the approval of the state director of finance, the place or places of payment of principal and interest, which may be at any bank or trust company approved by the state director of finance within or without the State. The bonds may be issued in coupon or in registered form, or both, as the development corporation may determine, and provisions may be made for the registration of any coupon bonds as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest, and for the reconversion into coupon bonds of any bonds registered as to both principal and interest. The development corporation may sell bonds in such manner, either at public or private sale, and for such price as it may determine.  (c) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the development corporation may issue interim receipts or temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds when such bonds have been executed and are available for delivery.  (d) If any bond issued under this chapter or any coupon appertaining thereto is mutilated or lost, stolen, or destroyed, the development corporation may cause a new bond or coupon of like date, number, and tenor to be executed and delivered in exchange and substitution for, and upon the cancellation of the mutilated bond or coupon, or in lieu of and in substitution for, the lost, stolen, or destroyed bond or coupon. The new bond or coupon shall not be executed or delivered until the holder of the mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed bond or coupon:  (1) Has paid the reasonable expense and charges in connection therewith;  (2) In the case of a lost, stolen, or destroyed bond or coupon, has filed with the development corporation or its fiduciary evidence satisfactory to the development corporation or its fiduciary that the bond or coupon was lost, stolen, or destroyed and that the holder was the owner thereof; and  (3) Has furnished indemnity satisfactory to the development corporation.  (e) The development corporation in its discretion may provide that CUSIP identification numbers shall be printed on bonds. If CUSIP identification numbers are imprinted on any bonds:  (1) No CUSIP identification number shall constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the particular bond upon which it is imprinted; and  (2) No liability shall attach to the development corporation or any officer or agent thereof, including any fiscal agent, paying agent, or registrar for any bonds by reason of any CUSIP identification numbers or any use made thereof, including any use thereof made by the development corporation or any officer or agent thereof, or by reason of any inaccuracy, error, or omission with respect thereto or in such use. The development corporation in its discretion may require that all costs of obtaining and imprinting CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the purchaser of the bonds. For the purposes of this subsection, the term "CUSIP identification numbers" means the numbering system adopted by the Committee for Uniform Security Identification Procedures formed by the Securities Industry Association.  (f) Whenever the development corporation has authorized the issuance of bonds under this chapter, bond anticipation notes of the development corporation may be issued in anticipation of the issuance of such bonds and of the receipt of the proceeds of sale thereof, for the purposes for which such bonds have been authorized. All bond anticipation notes shall be authorized by the development corporation, and the maximum principal amount of such notes shall not exceed the authorized principal amount of such bonds. The notes shall be payable solely from and secured solely by the proceeds of sale of the bonds in anticipation of which the notes are issued and the moneys derived from rates, rents, fees, and charges, and other revenues from which would be payable and by which would be secured such bonds; provided that to the extent that the principal of the notes shall be paid from moneys other than the proceeds of sale of such bonds, the maximum amount of bonds that has been authorized in anticipation of which the notes are issued shall be reduced by the amount of notes paid in such manner. The authorization, issuance, and the details of such notes shall be governed by this chapter with respect to bonds insofar as the same may be applicable; provided that each note, together with all renewals and extensions thereof, or refundings thereof by other notes issued under this subsection shall mature within five years from the date of the original note.  (g) In order to secure the payment of any of the bonds issued pursuant to this chapter, and interest thereon, or in connection with such bonds, the development corporation shall have the power as to such bonds:  (1) To pledge all or any part of the moneys derived from rates, rents, fees, and charges, and other revenues derived by the development corporation as provided in this chapter to the punctual payment of bonds and interest thereon, and to covenant against thereafter pledging any such moneys and other revenues to any other bonds or any other obligations of the development corporation for any other purpose, except as otherwise stated in the proceedings providing for the issuance of bonds permitting the issuance of additional bonds to be equally and ratably secured by a lien upon such moneys and other revenues.  (2) To pledge and assign the interest of the development corporation under any lease and other agreements related to a project and the rights, duties, and obligations of the development corporation thereunder, including the right to receive payments thereunder.  (3) To covenant as to the use and disposition of the proceeds from the sale of such bonds.  (4) To covenant to set aside or pay over reserves and sinking funds for such bonds and as to the disposition thereof.  (5) To covenant and prescribe as to what happenings or occurrences shall constitute "events of default", the terms and conditions upon which any or all of such bonds shall become or may be declared due before maturity, and as to the terms and conditions upon which such declaration and its consequences may be waived.  (6) To covenant as to the rights, liabilities, powers, and duties arising upon the breach by it of any covenant, condition, or obligation.  (7) Subject to the approval of the state director of finance, to designate a national or state bank or trust company within or without the State, incorporated in the United States, to serve as trustee for the holders of the bonds and to enter into a trust indenture, trust agreement, or indenture of mortgage with such trustee. The trustee may be authorized by the development corporation to receive and receipt for, hold, and administer the proceeds of such bonds and to apply the same to the purposes for which such bonds are issued, or to receive and receipt for, hold, and administer the moneys derived from rates, rents, fees, and charges, and other revenues derived by the development corporation under a lease or other agreement related to a project, and to apply such moneys and other revenues to the payment of the principal of and interest on such bonds, or both, and any excess moneys and other revenues to the payment of expenses incurred by the development corporation in administering such bonds or in carrying out such lease or other agreement. In the event that such trustee shall be appointed, any trust indenture, trust agreement, or indenture of mortgage entered into by the development corporation with the trustee may contain whatever covenants and provisions as may be necessary, convenient, or desirable in order to secure such bonds. The development corporation may pledge and assign to the trustee the interest of the development corporation under a lease and other agreements related to a project and the rights, duties, and obligations of the development corporation thereunder, including the right to receive revenues thereunder. The development corporation may appoint the trustee to serve as fiscal agent for the payment of the principal and interest, and for the purchase, registration, transfer, exchange, and redemption of the bonds, and may authorize and empower the trustee to perform such functions with respect to such payment, purchase, registration, transfer, exchange, and redemption, as the development corporation may deem necessary, advisable, or expedient, including without limitation the authentication of bonds and the holding of the bonds and coupons which have been paid and the supervision of the destruction thereof in accordance with law.  (8) To execute all instruments necessary or convenient in the exercise of the powers herein granted or in the performance of its covenants and duties.  (9) To make such covenants and do any and all acts and things as may be necessary, convenient, or desirable in order to secure such bonds, notwithstanding that such covenants, acts, or things may not be enumerated in this chapter.  No holder or holders of any bonds issued under this chapter shall ever have the right to compel any exercise of taxing power of the State to pay such bonds or the interest thereon and no moneys other than the revenues pledged to such bonds shall be applied to the payment thereof.  (h) Bonds bearing the signature or facsimile signature of officers in office on the date of the signing thereof shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes, notwithstanding that before the delivery thereof and payment therefor any or all the persons whose signatures appear thereon shall have ceased to be officers of the development corporation. The bonds shall contain a recital that they are issued pursuant to this chapter which recital shall be conclusive evidence of their validity and of the regularity of their issuance.  (i) The development corporation may issue bonds for the purpose of refunding any bonds then outstanding and issued under this chapter whether or not the outstanding bonds have matured or are then subject to redemption. The development corporation may issue bonds for the combined purposes of:  (1) Financing or refinancing the cost of a project, improvement, or expansion thereof; and  (2) Refunding bonds that shall theretofore have been issued under this chapter and shall then be outstanding, whether or not the outstanding bonds have matured or are then subject to redemption. Nothing in this subsection shall require or be deemed to require the development corporation to elect to redeem or prepay bonds being refunded, or to redeem or prepay bonds being refunded that were issued, in the form customarily known as term bonds in accordance with any sinking fund installment schedule specified in any proceedings authorizing the issuance thereof, or, if the development corporation elects to redeem or prepay any bonds, to redeem or prepay as of any particular date or dates. The issuance of bonds, the maturities and other details thereof, the rights and remedies of the holders thereof, and the rights, powers, privileges, duties, and obligations of the development corporation with respect to the bonds, shall be governed by the foregoing provisions of this chapter insofar as the same may be applicable.
