Sec. 22. (a) Such revenue obligations shall be authorized by resolution adopted by the board of directors for utilities and the terms, conditions and form thereof shall be set out in such resolution or in a form of trust indenture between the corporation and a designated corporate trustee, or both.
(b) Such revenue obligations shall bear interest, not to exceed a maximum rate to be determined by the board of directors for utilities, payable annually or at shorter intervals and shall mature at such time or times as may be determined in such resolution or indenture. The obligations may be made redeemable before maturity at the option of the board of directors for utilities under such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the resolution or indenture.
(c) The principal and interest of the revenue obligations may be made payable in any lawful medium. The resolution or indenture shall determine the form of obligations, including the interest coupons if any to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the obligations and the place or places of payment of the principal and interest thereof, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without the state.
(d) Provision may be made for the registration of any of the obligations in the name of the owner as to principal alone, or as to both principal and interest, but fully registered obligations shall be made convertible to coupon obligations at the option of the registered owner. The obligations including interest shall be exempt from all taxation: state, county and municipal.
(e) Such resolution or the indenture may also include provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the holders of the obligations being issued and covenants setting forth the duties of the department of public utilities and its officers in relation to the acquisition, construction, operation and maintenance of and insurance to be carried on the property or properties on account of which the obligations are being issued, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the maintenance of rates and charges to be collected on account hereof; also, provisions for the custody, safeguarding and application of all moneys and the rights and remedies of the trustee and the holders of the obligations being issued, and for the issuance of additional parity obligations or junior lien obligations secured by a pledge of the revenues or by a pledge or mortgage of the revenues and property described in said resolution or indenture; also, such other terms, conditions, limitations and covenants as the board of directors for utilities shall deem proper. Such obligations and any interest coupons appertaining thereto shall be negotiable instruments within the meaning and for all purposes under the laws of this state, subject only to the provisions for registration of the obligations.
