Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
The bonds issued hereunder shall not be an indebtedness of the
State of Oklahoma or of the institution for which they are issued or
of the Board of Education thereof, but shall be special obligations
payable solely from the revenues to be derived from the operation of
the building, and the Board is authorized and directed to pledge all
or any part of such revenues to the payment of principal of and
interest on the bonds.  In order to secure the prompt payment of
such principal and interest and the proper application of the
revenues pledged thereto, the Board is authorized by appropriate
provisions in the resolution or resolutions authorizing the bonds:
(a) to covenant as to the use and disposition of the proceeds of
the sale of such bonds;
(b) to covenant as to the operation of the building and the
collection and disposition of the revenues derived from such
operation;
(c) to covenant as to the rights, liabilities, powers, and
duties arising from the breach of any covenant or agreement into
which it may enter in authorizing and issuing the bonds;
(d) to covenant and agree to carry such insurance on the
building and the use and occupancy thereof as may be considered
desirable and, in its discretion, to provide that the cost of such
insurance shall be considered a part of the expense of operating the
building;
(e) to vest in a trustee or trustees the right to receive all or
any part of the income and revenues pledged and assigned to or for
the benefit of the holder or holders of bonds issued hereunder and

to hold, apply, and dispose of the same, and the right to enforce
any covenant made to secure the bonds and to execute and deliver a
trust agreement or agreements which may set forth the powers and
duties and the remedies available to such trustee or trustees and
may limit the liabilities thereof and prescribe the terms and
conditions upon which such trustee or trustees or the holder or
holders of the bonds in any specified amount or percentage may
exercise such rights and enforce any or all such covenants and
resort to such remedies as may be appropriate;
(f) to fix rents, charges, and fees to be imposed in connection
with and for the use of the building and the facilities supplied
thereby, which rents, charges, and fees shall be considered to be
income and revenues derived from the operation of the building, and
are hereby expressly required to be fully sufficient to assure the
prompt payment of principal and interest on the bonds as each
becomes due, and to make and enforce such rules and regulations with
reference to the use of the building and with reference to requiring
any class or classes of students to use the building as it may deem
desirable for the welfare of the institution and its students or for
the accomplishment of the purposes of this act;
(g) to covenant to maintain a maximum percentage of occupancy of
the building;
(h) to covenant against the issuance of any other obligations
payable from the revenues to be derived from the building; and
(i) to make covenants other than and in addition to those herein
expressly mentioned of such character as may be considered necessary
or advisable to effect the purposes of this act.
All such agreements and covenants entered into by the Board
shall be binding in all respects upon the Board and its officials,
agents, and employees, and upon its successors, and all such
agreements and covenants shall be enforceable by appropriate action
or suit at law or in equity, which may be brought by any holder or
holders of bonds issued hereunder.
