purpose revenue bonds issued with respect to the project financed or refinanced
from bond proceeds, including interest on the bonds, and to covenant against

obligations of the department for any other purpose, except as otherwise stated
in the law providing for the issuance of additional special purpose revenue
bonds to be equally and ratably secured by a lien upon such revenues;



(2)  Pledge and assign the interest of the department

and duties arising upon the breach by the department of any covenant,

secure the bonds.  The department may pledge and assign to the trustee the
interest of the department under the project agreement and other related
agreements as well as the rights, duties, and obligations of the department
thereunder.  The department 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 special purpose revenue
bonds.  The department may also authorize and empower the trustee to perform
such functions with respect to payment, purchase, registration, transfer,
exchange, and redemption as the department may deem necessary, advisable, or
expedient, including, without limitation, the holding of the special purpose
revenue bonds and coupons that have been paid and the supervision of the
destruction of the bonds and coupons according to the law;



(8)  Execute all instruments necessary or convenient
in the exercise of the powers herein granted or in the performance of its
covenants and duties; and



(9)  Make such covenants and perform any acts as may
be necessary, convenient, or desirable to secure the bonds, although such
covenants, acts, or items may not be enumerated here.



The department shall have the power to do all things
in the issuance of the bonds and for their security that are consistent with
the Constitution of the State of Hawaii. [L 2002, c 257, pt of §1]
