1. To provide funds for the present payment of the costs of economic development projects, the board may borrow money and issue and sell certificates payable from a sufficient portion of the future receipts of payments authorized by the agreement. The receipts shall be pledged to the payment of principal of and interest on the certificates. Certificates may be sold at public sale or at private sale at par, premium, or discount of not less than ninety-five percent of the par value thereof, at the discretion of the board, and may bear interest at such rate or rates as the board shall determine, notwithstanding the provisions of section 108.170 to the contrary. Certificates may be issued with respect to a single project or multiple projects and may contain terms or conditions as the board may provide by resolution authorizing the issuance of the certificates.

Certificates issued to refund other certificates may be sold at public sale or at private sale as provided in this section with the proceeds from the sale to be used for the payment of the certificates being refunded. The refunding certificates may be exchanged in payment and discharge of the certificates being refunded, in installments at different times or an entire issue or series at one time. Refunding certificates may be sold or exchanged at any time on, before, or after the maturity of the outstanding certificates to be refunded. Certificates may be issued for the purpose of refunding a like, greater or lesser principal amount of certificates and may bear a higher, lower or equivalent rate of interest than the certificates being renewed or refunded.

3. The board shall determine if revenues provided in the agreement are sufficient to secure the faithful performance of obligations in the agreement.

4. Certificates issued pursuant to this section shall not be deemed to be an indebtedness of the state or the board or of any political subdivision of the state.
