§ 20. Covenants. Any ordinances authorizing the issuance of the bonds under this Act may contain covenants regarding (i) the use and disposition of the revenues and receipts from any home mortgage loans for which the bonds are to be issued, including the creation and maintenance of any reasonable and adequate reserves that the corporate authorities may determine; (ii) the insurance to be carried on any home mortgage loan or bonds and the use and disposition of the proceeds of that insurance; (iii) the appointment of one or more trustees for the benefit of the bondholders, paying agents, or bond registrants; (iv) the investment of any funds held by the trustee or lender, notwithstanding any other law to the contrary; (v) the maximum rate payable on any home mortgage loan; and (vi) the terms and conditions upon which the holders of the bonds or any portion of the bonds, or any trustees for the bonds, are entitled to the appointment of a receiver by a court of competent jurisdiction, and any terms and conditions may provide that the receiver may take possession of the home mortgage loans or any part thereof and maintain, sell, or otherwise dispose of the home mortgage loans, prescribe other payments, and collect, receive, and apply all income and revenues thereafter derived therefrom. An ordinance authorizing the issuance of bonds under this Act may provide that payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, on and interest on any bonds issued under this Act shall be secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest, insurance agreement, or indenture of trust of or with respect to any home mortgage loans and a lien upon the revenues and receipts derived therefrom or from any notes or other obligations of lending institutions with respect to which the bonds are issued. The mortgage, pledge, security interest, insurance agreement, or indenture of trust constitute a contract with the holder or holders of the bonds and continue in effect until the principal of, the interest on, and the redemption premiums, if any, on the bonds have been fully paid or provision made for the payment of the bonds, and the duties of the Authority and its corporate authorities and officers under this Act and any ordinance and any mortgage, pledge, security interest, insurance agreement, or indenture of trust shall be enforceable as provided therein by any bondholder by mandamus, foreclosure of any mortgage, pledge, security interest, insurance agreement, or indenture of trust, or other appropriate suit, action, or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided the ordinance or any mortgage, pledge, security interest, insurance agreement, or indenture of trust under which the bonds are issued may provide that all remedies and rights to enforcement may be vested in a trustee (with full power of appointment) for the benefit of all the bondholders, which trustee shall be subject to the control of any number of holders or owners of any outstanding bonds as provided therein.
