(b) Bonds shall be signed by manual or facsimile signature of the Housing Director, and the seal of DSHA or a facsimile thereof shall be affixed thereto or imprinted thereon. In case any person whose signature or facsimile thereof shall appear on any bonds or coupons shall cease to be the Housing Director before the delivery of such bonds, such signature or facsimile shall, nevertheless, be valid for all purposes, the same as if the Housing Director had remained in office until delivery.
(c) All bonds issued under this chapter shall have and are declared to have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(d) Such bonds and the income therefrom shall be exempt from all taxation by this State or by any political subdivision, agency or authority thereof.
(e) The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered form, or both, as the issuing officer may determine, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bond as to principal alone or as to both principal and interest and for the reconversion of any bonds registered both as to principal and interest into coupon bonds.
(f) The issuing officer may sell such bonds, either at public or private sale, in such manner and for such price as they may determine to be for the best interest of DSHA.
(g) The proceeds of such bonds, exclusive of accrued interest, shall be used solely for the purposes specified in the resolution of DSHA authorizing the issuance thereof or as set forth in the indenture securing their payment, which purposes may include redemption premiums, interest on bonds to be refunded to the redemption date or date of maturity thereof and all legal and other expenses of their issuance and shall be disbursed under such restrictions, if any, as said resolution or trust indenture may provide.
(h) The proceeds of such bonds shall at no time revert to the General Fund of the State Treasury but shall at all times be available to DSHA for the aforesaid purposes; provided however, that if the proceeds of the bonds of any issue shall exceed the amount required for the purpose or purposes for which such bonds are authorized to be issued, the surplus may be used for any purpose of DSHA authorized in this chapter or for the payment of the principal of or interest on its outstanding bonds.
(i) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the issuing officer may issue temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds upon the issuance of the latter. The issuing officer may also provide for the replacement of any bond which shall become mutilated or be destroyed or lost. Such bonds may be issued without any other proceedings or conditions which are specified and required by this chapter.
