This part is in addition and supplemental to any other law providing for the financing of eligible projects of qualified borrowers and shall not be deemed to amend or repeal any other law.
Qualified borrowers may enter into financing agreements under this part, notwithstanding and without regard to any limit on indebtedness provided by law. No requirements or restraints applicable to borrowing by qualified borrowers contained in any other law shall be applicable to financing agreements or to the proceedings for approval of the financing agreements entered into under this part. Qualified borrowers entering into financing agreements may perform any acts, take any action, adopt any proceedings and make and carry out any contracts or agreements with the authority as may be agreed to by the authority and any qualified borrower for the carrying out of the purposes contemplated by this part.
In order to provide adequate security as may be required by the authority for a loan under this part, a qualified borrower is authorized to:
Receive, apply, pledge, assign and grant security interests in project revenues and any revenues from any other revenue producing facilities from which the qualified borrower derives project revenues to secure its obligations as provided in this part;
Pledge its state-shared taxes, as defined in § 4-31-102, if any;
Pledge the full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power, if any, of the qualified borrower as to all taxable property of the qualified borrower to the punctual payment of the loan; and
Pledge any other security determined by the authority to be acceptable to secure a loan under this part.
Any pledge made by the qualified borrower pursuant to this part shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made, the moneys or property so pledged and thereafter received by the qualified borrower shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the qualified borrower, regardless of whether the parties have notice of the lien of the pledge.
Neither the resolution nor any other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded.
A qualified borrower shall ensure that all loans received from the authority pursuant to this part are used in accordance with applicable federal and state law. The qualified borrower shall be liable for the repayment of the funds or damages caused in the event of any misuse of the loan received pursuant to this part.
