A. Bonds of an issuer issued pursuant to the terms of the Municipal Mortgage Finance Act shall be authorized by ordinance of its governing body and may be issued in one or more series and shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, bear interest at such rate or rates, be in such denomination or denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such conversion or registration provisions, contain such terms, covenants or conditions, be subject to such terms of redemption, with or without premium, and be executed in such manner as such ordinance or a trust indenture authorized to be entered into pursuant to such ordinance, may provide.
B. Any such ordinance shall set forth a finding and declaration:
(1) of the public purpose therefor; and
(2) that the ordinance is adopted pursuant to the Municipal Mortgage Finance Act, which finding and declaration shall be conclusive evidence of the existence and sufficiency of the public purpose and the power to carry out and give effect to such public purpose.
C. The bonds may be sold at public or private sale, in such manner and upon such terms as may be authorized by the governing body of the issuer. Pending the preparation of definitive bonds, interim receipts or certificates in such form and with such provisions as may be provided in the ordinance or a trust indenture authorized to be entered into pursuant to the ordinance may be issued to the purchaser or purchasers of the bonds.
D. Bonds issued pursuant to the Municipal Mortgage Finance Act shall be limited obligations of the issuer and shall be payable solely from payments and receipts received with respect to mortgage loans and the property securing such mortgage loans. The bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness of the issuer or any participating municipality within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory debt limitation or restriction and shall not be subject to the provisions of any other law relating to the authorization, issuance or sale of bonds.
E. In case any of the public officials of the issuer whose signatures appear on any bonds or coupons issued pursuant to the Municipal Mortgage Finance Act shall cease to be public officials before the delivery of the bonds, the signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officials had remained in office until delivery.
