(8) Fix and collect rents, rates of toll and other charges for the use of such airport or airports, and related facility or facilities, sufficient, together with other available money, to produce income and revenues adequate to pay the bonds at maturity and accruing interest and reserves therefor and sufficient to pay cost of maintenance, operation and depreciation thereof in such order of priority as shall be provided by the resolution authorizing the bonds;
(9) Fix procedures by which the terms of any contract with the holders of the bonds may be amended, the amount of bonds involved, the holders of which must consent;
(10) Provide the procedure for refunding such bonds;
(11) Provide whether and to what extent and upon what terms and conditions, if any, the holder of bonds or coupons issued under such resolution or the trustee, if any, therefor may, either in law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceeding, enforce or compel the performance of all duties required by this section and section 305.315, including the fixing, maintaining and collecting of such rents, rates or other charges for the use of such airport or airports, and related facility or facilities, or for any service rendered by the authority in the operation thereof as will be sufficient, together with other available money, to pay the principal or interest upon those revenue bonds as the same become due and reserves therefor and sufficient to pay the cost of maintenance, operation and depreciation of the airport or airports, and related facility or facilities, in the order of priority as provided in the resolution authorizing the bonds, and the application of the income and revenues thereof;
