* § 206. Bonds of the authority. 1. The authority shall have power and
is  hereby authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable bonds in
conformity with applicable provisions of the uniform commercial code  in
the aggregate principal amount of not exceeding one million five hundred
thousand  dollars  for  any  corporate purpose. The authority shall have
power from time to time 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  corporate purpose. 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.
2. Such bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the board and shall
be issued in one or more series, shall bear such date or  dates,  mature
at  such  time or times, not exceeding forty years from their respective
dates, bear interest at such rate  or  rates,  not  exceeding  five  per
centum  per annum payable semi-annually, be in such denominations, 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,  be  subject  to  such  terms  of
redemption,  and  be  declared  or  become  due before the maturity date
thereof, as such resolution or resolutions may provide. Such  bonds  may
be  issued  for  money  or  property (at public or private sale for such
price or prices) as the authority shall  determine,  provided  that  the
interest  cost  to  maturity  of  the money or property (at its value as
determined by the board, the determination of which shall be conclusive)
received for any issue of such bonds, shall not exceed five  per  centum
per  annum.  Refunding  bonds  exchanged  for  outstanding  bonds may be
exchanged on such terms and with such cash adjustments as the  authority
shall determine.
3.  In connection with the issuance of bonds or in order to secure the
payment of its bonds the authority shall have power

then owned or thereafter acquired;
(b) To pledge all or any part of its revenues;

deed of trust or other instrument and as to the issuance of  such  bonds

disposition to be made thereof;
(l)  To  covenant as to the use of any or all of its property, real or
personal;
(m) To covenant to set aside or pay over reserves  and  sinking  funds
and as to the disposition thereof;
(n)  To redeem the bonds, and to covenant for their redemption, and to

which such declaration and its consequences may be waived;
(t)  To  covenant  as  to  the  rights, liabilities, powers and duties
arising upon the breach by it of any covenant, condition, or obligation;
(u) To vest in a trustee or trustees the right to enforce any covenant
made to secure, to pay or in relation to the bonds, or to foreclose  any
mortgage,  to  provide  for  the  powers  and  duties of such trustee or
trustees, to limit liabilities thereof and  to  provide  the  terms  and
conditions upon which the trustee or trustees or the holders of bonds or
any  proportion  of  them  may enforce any such covenant or exercise the
right of foreclosure;
(v) To make covenants in addition to the  covenants  herein  expressly
authorized, of like or different character;
(w)  To  execute  all  mortgages, bills of sale, conveyances, deeds of
trust and other instruments necessary or convenient in the  exercise  of
the  powers  herein  granted  or  in the performance of its covenants or
duties;
(x) To make such covenants and to do any and all such acts and  things
as  may  be  necessary or convenient or desirable in order to secure its
bonds, or in the absolute discretion of the board tend to make the bonds
more marketable, notwithstanding that such covenants, acts or things may
not be enumerated herein and notwithstanding that such  covenants,  acts
or  things  may  restrict  or  interfere  with  the  carrying out of its
corporate purpose; it being the intention hereof to give  the  authority
power  to do all things in the issuance of bonds, and for their security
that a business corporation can do under the general laws of  the  state
and  no  consent  or  approval  of  any judge or court shall be required
therefor.
