1. In the case of securities bearing interest at a variable rate of interest, or in the case of securities with a term of 270 days or less issued as commercial paper under a program for the issuance of commercial paper to fund the costs of a project, to be deposited into the State General Fund and used for the general operations of the State or to refinance any previously issued commercial paper or other securities, the act or resolution authorizing the issuance of any state securities or any trust indenture or other instrument appertaining thereto may fix a rate or rates of interest or provide for the determination of the rate or rates from time to time by a designated agent according to the procedure specified in that resolution or other instrument. The rate so determined must approximate the rates then being paid for other securities which contain similar provisions and have an equivalent rating. The Commission may contract with or select any person to act as an agent to make that determination and shall specify parameters for the interest rate if it is fixed by such an agent.
2. The Commission may enter into an agreement with a third party for an assurance of payment of the principal of, the interest on, or premiums, if any, due in connection with any state securities issued by the Commission. The obligation of the Commission to reimburse that third party for any advances made pursuant to that agreement may be provided in that agreement, recited in those securities or evidenced by another instrument as designated in the act or resolution authorizing the issuance of those securities or any other instrument appertaining thereto. The Commission may assign its rights under that agreement.
