Refunding bonds so authorized shall be authorized and issued in the manner provided by law for the issuance of the bonds or other obligations refunded and shall be secured in the same manner as the bonds or obligations refunded, except that the governing authority, in its discretion, may provide for changes in the source of payment of such bonds or obligations as it considers desirable, and except that any refunding bonds so authorized either may be sold and the funds realized from the sale thereof applied exclusively to the payment of the bonds or obligations refunded or may be delivered in exchange for a like principal amount of the bonds or obligations refunded or may be sold in part or exchanged in part. Such refunding bonds also may be sold and the proceeds thereof escrowed to be used in paying the bonds or obligations refunded on the date on which they become payable through maturity or call for redemption. Refunding bonds so issued shall not exceed in principal amount the principal amount of the bonds or obligations to be so refunded.
