or all of the rights, powers and duties of the trustees appointed by the
bondholders to appoint a trustee pursuant to this title or limiting or
abrogating the rights of the bondholders to appoint a trustee, or
limiting the rights, duties and powers of such trustee;
(j) 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
in the event of such default, including as a matter of right the
appointment of a receiver, provided, however, that such rights and
remedies shall not be inconsistent with the general laws of the state
and other provisions of this title;

determine; and
(n) any other matters of like or different character which in any way
affect the security or protection of the bonds or the rights and
remedies of bondholders.
6. 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 adopt resolutions and enter into such trust
indentures, agreements or other instruments as the authority may deem
necessary, convenient or desirable concerning the use or disposition of
its revenues or other monies or property, including the mortgaging of
any property and the entrusting, pledging or creation of any other
security interest in any such revenues, monies or property 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 resolutions, trust
indentures, agreements or other instruments. The authority shall have
power to enter into amendments of any such resolutions, trust
indentures, agreements or other instruments. The provisions of any such
resolutions, trust indentures, agreements or other instruments may be
made a part of the contract with the holders of bonds of the authority.
7. Any provision of the uniform commercial code to the contrary
notwithstanding, any pledge of or other security interest in revenues,
monies, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles or other personal
property made or created by the authority or the water board, pursuant
to this title, shall be valid, binding and perfected against all
persons, 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 or the
water board, irrespective of whether 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.
8. 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.
9. Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing its
bonds shall be liable personally on its bonds or be subject to any
personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.
10. Subject to such agreements with bondholders as may then exist, the
authority shall have power out of any funds available therefor to
purchase bonds of the authority, which shall thereupon be cancelled, at
a price not exceeding (a) if the bonds are then redeemable, the
redemption price then applicable plus accrued interest to the next
interest payment date, or (b) if the bonds are not then redeemable, the
redemption price applicable on the first date after such purchase upon
which the bonds become subject to redemption plus accrued interest to
the next interest payment date. Bonds so purchased shall thereupon be
cancelled.
