The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any securities or series of securities the proceeds of which are devoted to the renovation and repair of the coliseum shall be payable from and secured by a pledge of all rents, leases, or any other revenue derived or realized from the public from operation of the coliseum, after deduction of costs of operation.
To the extent that the sources of revenue described above are insufficient to provide for the payment of the debts of the corporation, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the corporation's securities may be secured by a pledge of so much as is necessary of the fees, permit fees, license fees, fines and penalties imposed, charged and collected by the Department of Agriculture and Industries and paid into the Agricultural Fund. There is hereby appropriated and set aside in each fiscal year, solely out of the fees, permit fees, license fees, fines and penalties accruing to the Agricultural Fund such amount as, when added to the revenues from operation of the market facility and the coliseum, net of costs of operation, shall be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the corporation's securities coming due in said fiscal year. Moneys in the Agricultural Fund which consist of contributions by the federal government or any private agency, appropriations by the Legislature from the General Fund, assessments collected for the promotion of agricultural industries and products as provided in Chapter 8 of Title 2, or any other funds other than funds realized from fees, permits, licenses, fines and penalties, shall not be used or pledged for payment of debt service on the corporation's securities.

Securities of the corporation sold by competitive bid must be sold, whether on sealed bids or at public auction, to the bidder whose bid reflects the lowest net interest cost to the corporation for the securities being sold, computed from their date to their respective maturities; provided, that if no bid acceptable to the corporation is received, it may reject all bids. The corporation may fix the terms and conditions under which each sale of bonds may be held; provided, that such terms and conditions shall not conflict with any of the requirements of this article.
