Item 1

 
3.__Money received. All money received from any bonds issued
must be applied solely for the acquisition, financing or
protection of works of art and literature, historic
preservation, library acquisitions, archival protection and
the fulfillment of other undertakings that are within the
power of the authority. There is created a lien upon the money
until so applied in favor of the bondholders or any trustee as
may be provided in respect to the bonds.

 
4.__Trust indenture. In the discretion of the directors, the
bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the
authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust
company or bank having the powers of a trust company, located
either within or outside the State.__The trust indenture may
pledge or assign the revenues of the authority or any part of
it. Any indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the
bondholders and the trustee, may restrict the individual right
of action of bondholders and may contain any other provisions
the directors may determine reasonable and proper for the
security of bondholders. Expenses incurred in carrying out any
trust indenture may be treated as a part of maintenance.

 
5.__Rights of bondholders. Provisions may be made for
protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the
bondholders, including covenants as to acquisition of
property, construction, maintenance, operation and repair,
insurance and the custody, security and application of all
funds.

 
6.__Depositories. Any trust company or bank having the
powers of a trust company and located either within or outside
the State may act as depositories of the proceeds of the bonds
and revenue and may furnish indemnity or pledge such
securities as may be required by the authority.

 
7.__Tax free. The purposes of this chapter being public and
for the benefit of the people of the State, the authority
bonds are free from taxation by the State.

 
8.__Revenue refunding bonds. The authority may issue revenue
refunding bonds for the purpose of refunding the revenue bonds
issued under this chapter. The issuance of any refunding bonds
must be the same as provided for in this chapter relating to
revenue bonds.

 
9.__Default. In the event of default on the bonds and in the
event the default continues for a period of 3 months, action
may be brought to enforce the rights of the bondholders by
ensuring that the operation by the directors is in conformity
with the covenants of the bonds or indenture.
