(1) Except as otherwise provided in this article,
any bonds issued under this article may be refunded without an election, subject to
the provisions concerning their payment and to any other contractual limitations in
the proceedings authorizing their issuance or otherwise relating thereto.

(2) Any bonds issued for refunding purposes may either be delivered in
exchange for the outstanding bonds authorized to be refunded or may be sold as
provided in this article for the sale of other bonds.

(3) No bonds may be refunded under this article unless the holders thereof
voluntarily surrender them for exchange or payment or unless they either mature or
are callable for prior redemption under their terms within ten years from the date of
issuance of the refunding bonds. Provision shall be made for paying the bonds
within said period of time. No maturity of any bonds refunded may be extended over
fifteen years. The rate of interest on such refunding bonds shall be determined by
the board. The principal amount of the refunding bonds may exceed the principal
amount of the refunded bonds if the aggregate principal and interest costs of the
refunding bonds do not exceed such unaccrued costs of the bonds refunded,
except the extent any interest on the bonds refunded in arrears or about to become
due is capitalized with the proceeds of the refunding bonds. The principal amount of
the refunding bonds may also be less than or the same as the principal amount of
the bonds refunded so long as provision is duly and sufficiently made for their
payment.

(4) The proceeds of refunding bonds shall either be immediately applied to
the retirement of the bonds to be refunded or be placed in escrow or in trust to be
applied to the payment of the bonds refunded upon their presentation therefor. Any
proceeds held in escrow or in trust, pending such use, may be invested or
reinvested in securities meeting the investment requirements established in part 6
of article 75 of title 24, C.R.S. Such proceeds and investments in escrow or in trust,
together with any interest or other gain to be derived from any such investment,
shall be in an amount at all times sufficient as to principal, interest, any prior
redemption premium due, and any charges of the escrow agent or trustee payable
therefrom to pay the bonds refunded as they become due at their respective
maturities or due at designated prior redemption dates upon which the board shall
be obligated to call the refunded bonds for prior redemption.

(5) Except as otherwise provided in this article, the relevant provisions
pertaining to bonds generally shall be equally applicable in the authorization and
issuance of refunding bonds, including their terms and security, the bond
resolution, trust indenture, taxes, and revenues, and other aspects of the bonds.
