The Commission may issue bonds under this act for the purpose of refunding any obligations of the Commission previously issued under this act, or may authorize and deliver a single issue of bonds hereunder, in part for the purpose of refunding such obligations and in part for the acquisition of additional properties or improvements. Where bonds are issued under this section solely for refunding purposes, such bonds may either be sold as above provided or delivered in exchange for the outstanding obligations. If sold, the proceeds may be either applied to the payment of the obligations, refunded or deposited in escrow for the retirement of the bond obligations. Nothing contained in this act shall be construed to authorize the refunding of any outstanding obligations which are not either maturing, callable for redemption under their terms or voluntarily surrendered by their holders for cancellation. All bonds issued under this section shall in all respects be authorized, issued, and secured in the manner provided for other bonds issued under this act and shall have all of the attributes of such bonds. The Commission may provide that any refunding bonds shall have the same priority of lien on the revenues pledged for their payment as was enjoyed by the obligations which are refunded.
