(b) To secure a loan, the board may pledge:

(1) revenues of the authority that are not pledged to pay bonded indebtedness of the authority;

(2) authority bonds that have been authorized but not sold; or

(3) revenues of the authority if the pledge is subordinate to any pledge securing outstanding bonds of the authority.
