| C. Bonds may not be issued by the authority until the |
| authority has received a certificate of approval from the |
| Finance Authority of Maine authorizing issuance of bonds. |
| Before issuing a certificate of approval under this section, |
the authority Finance Authority of Maine shall determine |
| that there is a reasonable likelihood that the income, |
| proceeds, revenues and funds of the authority derived from |
| or held for activities under this article or otherwise |
| pledged to payment of the bonds will be sufficient to pay |
| principal, interest and all other amounts that may at any |
| time become due and payable under the bonds. In making this |
| determination, the Finance Authority of Maine must consider |
| the authority's analysis of the proposed bond issue and the |
| revenues to make payments on the bond and may require such |
| information, projections, studies and independent analyses |
| as it considers necessary or desirable and may charge the |
| authority reasonable fees and expenses. The issuance by the |
| Finance Authority of Maine of a certificate of approval |
| under this section does not constitute an endorsement of the |
| bonds or the projects or purposes for which those bonds are |
| issued and neither the authority nor any other person or |
| entity, including, without limitation, any holders of bonds |
| of the authority, have any cause of action against the |
| Finance Authority of Maine with respect to any such |
| certificate of approval. The Finance Authority of Maine may |
| require that it be indemnified, defended and held harmless |
| by the authority for any liability or cause of action |
| arising out of or with respect to the bonds. |
