execution.
(a) The issuance of revenue bonds shall be by a resolution of
the trustees. The bonds may be issued in one or more series, may
bear such date or dates, may mature at such time or times, not
exceeding thirty (30) years from their respective dates, may bear
interest at such rate or rates, not exceeding the maximum rate
provided by Section 498.1 of this title, may be in such form, may be
executed in such manner, may be payable in such medium of payment,
at such place or places, may be subject to such terms of redemption,
and may contain such terms, covenants, and conditions as the
resolution may provide including without limitation those pertaining
to the custody and application of the proceeds of the bonds, the
collection and disposition of revenues, the maintenance of various
funds and reserves, the nature and extent of the security, the
rights, duties, and obligations of the trustees and the trustee for
the holders or registered owners of the bonds, and the rights of the
holders or registered owners of the bonds. There may be successive
bond issues for the purpose of financing the same industrial project
(lands, buildings, or facilities) involving one or more industries,
and there may be successive bond issues for financing the cost of
reconstructing, replacing, constructing additions to, extending,
improving, and equipping industrial projects (lands, buildings, or
facilities) already in existence, whether or not originally financed
by bonds issued under this act, with each successive issue to be
authorized as provided by this act. Priority between and among
issues and successive issues as to security of the pledge of
revenues and mortgage lien on the lands, buildings, and facilities
involved may be controlled by the ordinance or resolution
authorizing the issuance of bonds hereunder. The bonds shall have
all the qualities of negotiable instruments under the negotiable
instruments laws of this state.
(b) Said resolution may provide for the execution by the
trustees of an indenture which defines the rights of the bondholders
and provides for the appointment of a trustee for the bondholders.
Such indenture may control the priority between successive issues

deemed desirable, including without limitation those pertaining to
the custody and application of the proceeds of the bonds, the
collection and disposition of revenues, the maintenance of various
funds and reserves, the nature and extent of the security, the
rights, duties, and obligations of the trustees and the trustee for
the holders or registered owners of the bonds, and the rights of the
holders or registered owners of the bonds; provided, the indenture
shall state that it constitutes no obligation against or pledge of
the full faith and credit of the municipality and county.
(c) The bonds shall be sold only after public advertisement for
bids, to the bidder offering the lowest effective interest rate and
best terms on the proposal so advertised, and may be sold for such
price, including without limitation sale of a discount, and in such
manner as the trustees may determine by resolution, but in no event
shall the trustees be required to pay more than the maximum rate
provided by Section 498.1 of this title on the amount received,
computed with relation to the absolute maturity of the bonds in
accordance with the Standard Tables of Bond Values. The bonds may
be sold with the privilege of conversion into an issue bearing other
rate or rates of interest, upon such terms that the trustees receive
no less and pay no more than they would receive and pay if the bonds
were not converted, and the conversion shall be subject to the
approval of the trustees.
