(1) All or any part of the principal of the bonds to be refunded.
(2) Any redemption premium required to be paid as a condition to the redemption prior to maturity of any such bonds that are to be so redeemed in connection with such refunding.

(4) Any interest to accrue on each bond to be refunded to the date on which it is to be paid, whether at maturity or by redemption prior to maturity.
(5) The expenses incurred in connection with the refunding.
(b) Any refunding bonds may be sold by the authority at public or private sale at such price or prices as may be determined by the authority to be most advantageous, or may be exchanged for the bonds to be refunded. Any such refunding bonds may be executed and delivered by the authority at any time and, from time to time, shall be in such form and denomination or denominations and of such tenor and maturity or maturities, shall contain such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of this division, and shall bear such rate or rates of interest, payable at such place or places, either within or without the state, and evidenced in such manner, as may be provided by resolution of the authority; provided, however, that no refunding bonds shall be issued unless the present value of all debt service on the refunding bonds (computed with a discount rate equal to the true interest rate of the refunding bonds and taking into account all underwriting discount and other issuance expenses) shall be less than the present value of all debt service on the bonds to be refunded (computed using the same discount rate and taking into account the underwriting discount and other issuance expenses originally applicable to such bonds) determined as if such bonds to be refunded were paid and retired in accordance with the schedule of maturities (considering mandatory redemption as a scheduled maturity) provided at the time of their issuance.
