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.

The authority is authorized to obtain from any department or agency of the United States of America or the state or nongovernmental insurer or financial institution any insurance, guaranty, or other credit enhancement arrangement, to the extent now or hereafter available, as to, or for the payment or repayment of interest or principal, or both, or any part thereof, on any bonds or notes issued by the authority and to enter into any agreement or contract with respect to any such insurance, guaranty or credit enhancement arrangement, except to the extent that the same would in any way impair or interfere with the ability of the authority to perform and fulfill the terms of any agreement made with the holders of the bonds or notes of the authority. 3.

Bonds may be sold at public sale or at private sale for such price or prices as the authority shall determine, provided that no issue of bonds may be sold by the authority at private sale unless such sale and the terms thereof have been approved in writing by the comptroller, where such sale is not to the comptroller, or by the state director of the budget, where such sale is to be to the comptroller. Any bonds or other obligations issued by the Wayne county water authority shall be continued as an obligation by the authority. 4. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing bonds or any issue of bonds by the authority may contain provisions which may be part of the contract with the holders of the bonds thereby authorized as to: (a) pledging all or part of its revenues, together with any other moneys, securities, contracts or property of the authority, to secure the payment of the bonds, including but not limited to any contracts, earnings or proceeds of any grant to the authority received from any private or public source, subject to such agreements with bondholders as may then exist; (b) the rates, rentals, fees and other charges to be fixed and collected by the authority and the amounts to be raised in each year thereby, and the use and disposition of revenues;(c) the setting aside of reserves and the creation of sinking funds and the regulation and disposition thereof; (d) limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds from the sale of bonds may be applied; (e) limitations on the right of the authority to restrict and regulate the use of any water project or part thereof in connection with which bonds are issued; (f) limitations on the issuance of additional bonds, the terms upon which additional bonds may be issued and secured and the refunding of outstanding or other bonds; (g) the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with bondholders may be amended or abrogated, including the proportion of bondholders which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may be given; (h) the creation of special funds into which any revenues or other moneys may be deposited; (i) the terms and provisions of any trust, deed, mortgage or indenture securing the bonds under which the bonds may be issued; (j) vesting in a trustee or trustees such properties, rights, powers and duties in trust as the authority may determine, which may include any or all of the rights, powers and duties of the trustee appointed by the bondholders pursuant to section one thousand one hundred ninety-nine-ii of this title and limiting or abrogating the rights of the bondholders to appoint a trustee under such section or limiting the rights, duties and powers of such trustee; (k) defining the acts or omissions to act which may constitute a default in the obligations and duties of the authority to the bondholders and providing for the rights and remedies of the bondholders in the event of such default, including as a matter of right the appointment of a receiver, provided, however, that such rights and remedies shall not be inconsistent with the general laws of the state and other provisions of this title; (l) limitations on the power of the authority to sell or otherwise dispose of any water facility or any part thereof or other property; (m) limitations on the amount of revenues and other moneys to be expended for operating, administrative or other expenses of the authority; (n) the protection and enforcement of the rights and remedies of the bondholders; (o) the obligations of the authority in relation to the construction, maintenance, operation, repairs and insurance of its properties, the safeguarding and application of all moneys and as to the requirements for the supervision and approval of consulting engineers in connection with construction, reconstruction and operation; (p) the payment of the proceeds of bonds, revenues and other moneys to a trustee or other depository, and for the method of disbursement thereof with such safeguards and restrictions as the authority may determine; and (q) any other matters of like or different character which in any way affect the security or protection of the bonds or the rights and remedies of bondholders. 5. In addition to the powers herein conferred upon the authority to secure its bonds, the authority shall have power in connection with the issuance of bonds to enter into such agreements as the authority may deem necessary, convenient or desirable concerning the use or disposition of its revenues or other moneys or property, including remarketing agreements or other similar agreements for the bonds, the mortgaging of any property and the entrusting, pledging or creation ofany other security interest in any such revenues, moneys, or property and the doing of any act, including refraining from doing any act, which the authority would have the right to do in the absence of such agreements. The authority shall have power to enter into amendments of any such agreements within the powers granted to the authority by this title and to perform such agreements. The provisions of any such agreements may be made a part of the contract with the holders of bonds of the authority. 6. Any provision of the uniform commercial code to the contrary notwithstanding, any pledge of or other security interest in revenues, moneys, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles or other personal property made or created by the authority shall be valid, binding and perfected from the time when such pledge is made or other security interest attaches without any physical delivery of the collateral or further act, and the lien of any such pledge or other security interest shall be valid, binding and perfected against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the authority irrespective of whether or not such parties have notice thereof. No instrument by which such a pledge or security interest is created nor any financing statement need be recorded or filed. 7. Whether or not the bonds of the authority are of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of the uniform commercial code, the bonds are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all purposes of the uniform commercial code, subject only to the provisions of the bonds for registration. 8. Neither the members nor the officers of the authority nor any person executing bonds shall be liable personally thereon or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof. 9. The authority, subject to such agreements with bondholders as then may exist, shall have power out of any moneys available therefor to purchase bonds of the authority in lieu of redemption, at a price not exceeding: (a) if the bonds are then redeemable, the redemption price then applicable, plus accrued interest to the next interest payment date; (b) if the bonds are not then redeemable, the redemption price then applicable on the first date after such purchase upon which the bonds become subject to redemption plus accrued interest to the next interest payment date. 10. The authority shall have power and is hereby authorized to issue negotiable bond anticipation notes in conformity with applicable provisions of the uniform commercial code and may renew the same from time to time but the maximum maturity of any such note, including renewals thereof, shall not exceed five years from the date of issue of such original note. Such notes shall be paid from any moneys of the authority available therefor and not otherwise pledged or from the proceeds of sale of the bonds of the authority in anticipation of which they were issued. The notes shall be issued in the same manner as bonds and such notes and the resolution or resolutions authorizing the same may contain any provisions, conditions or limitations which the bonds or bond resolution of the authority may contain. Such notes may be sold at public sale or, upon the approval of the comptroller of the terms thereof, at private sale. Such notes shall be as fully negotiable as the bonds of the authority. * NB There are 2 § 1199-hh's
