and the regulation and disposition thereof;
(c) limitations on the purpose to which the proceeds from the sale of

of this title and limiting or abrogating the rights of the bondholders
to appoint a trustee under such section or limiting the rights, duties
and powers of such trustee;
(k) defining the acts or omissions to act which may constitute a
default in the obligations and duties of the authority to the
bondholders and providing for the rights and remedies of the bondholders

determine; and
(o) any other matters of like or different character which may in any
way affect the security or protection of the bonds or the rights and
remedies of bondholders.
5. In addition to the powers herein conferred upon the authority to
secure its bonds, the authority shall have power in connection with the
issuance of bonds to enter into such agreements as the authority may
deem necessary, convenient or desirable concerning the use or
disposition of its revenues or other moneys or property, including the
mortgaging of any of its properties and the entrusting, pledging or
creation of any other security interest in any such revenues, moneys or
properties and the doing of any act (including refraining from doing any
act) which the authority would have the right to do in the absence of
such agreements. The authority shall have power to enter into amendments
of any such agreements within the powers granted to the authority by

this title and to perform such agreements. The provisions of any such
agreements may be made a part of the contract with the holders of bonds
of the authority.
6. Any provision of the uniform commercial code to the contrary
notwithstanding, any pledge of or other security interest in revenues,
moneys, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles or other personal
property made or created by the authority shall be valid, binding and
perfected from the time when such pledge is made or other security
interest attaches without any physical delivery of the collateral or
further act, and the lien of any such pledge or other security interest
shall be valid, binding and perfected against all parties having claims
of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the authority
irrespective of whether or not such parties have notice thereof. No
instrument by which such a pledge or security interest is created nor
any financing statement need be recorded or filed.
7. Whether or not the bonds are of such form and character as to be
negotiable instruments under the terms of the uniform commercial code,
the bonds are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of
and for all the purposes of the uniform commercial code, subject only to
the provisions of the bonds for registration.
8. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing bonds
shall be liable personally thereon or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.
9. The authority, subject to such agreements with bondholders as then
may exist, shall have power out of any moneys available therefor to
purchase bonds of the authority, which shall thereupon be cancelled.
