Sec. 21. (a) The authority may secure bonds issued under this chapter by a trust indenture between the authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or national or state bank within Indiana that has trust powers.
(b) The trust indenture may:
(1) pledge or assign lease rentals, receipts, and income from leased capital improvements, but may not mortgage land or capital improvements;
(2) contain reasonable and proper provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders, including covenants setting forth the duties of the authority and board;
(3) set forth the rights and remedies of bondholders and trustee; and
(4) restrict the individual right of action of bondholders.
(c) Any pledge or assignment made by the authority under this section is valid and binding from the time that the pledge or assignment is made, against all persons whether or not they have notice of the lien. Any trust indenture by which a pledge is created or an assignment made need not be filed or recorded. The lien is perfected against third parties by filing the trust indenture in the records of the board.
