Trust agreement to secure bonds

Official statutory text

Sec. 15. In the discretion of any authority any bonds issued under the provisions of this chapter may be secured by a trust agreement by and between such authority and a corporate trustee or trustees, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the state. The trust agreement or the resolution providing for the issuance of bonds may pledge or assign the revenues to be received or proceeds of any contract or contracts pledged and may convey or mortgage the project or any portion of the project. Any pledge or assignment made by an authority pursuant to this section shall be valid and binding from the time that the pledge or assignment is made, and the revenues pledged and received by the authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge or assignment without physical delivery or further act. The lien of the pledge or assignment shall be valid and binding against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the authority irrespective of whether the parties have notice. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created or assignment made need be filed or recorded in any public records in order to perfect a lien against third parties except that a copy of the records shall be filed in the records of the authority. The trust agreement or resolution providing for the issuance of bonds may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including particularly provisions as have been specifically authorized to be included in any resolution or resolutions of an authority authorizing bonds. Any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state which may act as depository of the proceeds of bonds or of revenues or other moneys may furnish indemnifying bonds or pledge securities as may be required by an authority. Any trust agreement may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee or trustees, and may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders. Any trust agreement or resolution may contain other provisions as the authority may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of the trust agreement or resolution may be treated as a part of the cost of the operation of a project.
