						<section><p>In the discretion of the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span> any <span class="dictionary"><span class="dictionary">bonds</span></span> issued under the provisions of this chapter may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span> and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or outside of the Commonwealth. Such trust indenture or the resolution providing for the issuance of such <span class="dictionary"><span class="dictionary">bonds</span></span> may pledge or assign the tolls and other revenues to be received, but shall not convey or mortgage the <span class="dictionary">project</span> or any part thereof. Such trust indenture or resolution providing for the issuance of such <span class="dictionary"><span class="dictionary">bonds</span></span> may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of <span class="dictionary">law</span>, including covenants setting forth the duties of the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span> in relation to the acquisition of property and the construction, improvement, <span class="dictionary">maintenance</span>, repair, operation, and insurance of the <span class="dictionary">project</span> in connection with which such <span class="dictionary"><span class="dictionary">bonds</span></span> have been authorized, the rates of toll to be charged, and the <span class="dictionary">custody</span>, safeguarding, and application of all moneys. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the <span class="dictionary">laws</span> of the Commonwealth that may act as depository of the proceeds of <span class="dictionary"><span class="dictionary">bonds</span></span> or of revenues to furnish such indemnifying <span class="dictionary"><span class="dictionary">bonds</span></span> or to pledge such securities as may be required by the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span>. Any such trust indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee and may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders. In addition to the foregoing, any such trust indenture or resolution may contain such other provisions as the <span class="dictionary">Commission</span> may deem reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of such trust indenture or resolution may be treated as a part of the cost of the operation of the <span class="dictionary">project</span>.</p></section></text><history>1956, c. 714; 2014, c. 805.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
