§ 5-1-6-7. Sale and exchange of refunding bonds

Sec. 7. (a) The refunding bonds may be sold or exchanged in installments at different times, or an entire issue or series may be sold or exchanged at one (1) time. Any issue or series of refunding bonds may be exchanged in part or sold in part in installments at different times or at one (1) time. The refunding bonds may be sold or exchanged at any time, on, before, or after the maturity of any of the outstanding notes, bonds, or other obligations to be refinanced thereby.

(b) If the governing body determines to exchange any refunding bonds, such refunding bonds may be exchanged privately for and in payment and discharge of any of the outstanding notes, bonds or other obligations of the issuing body issued to finance or to aid in financing the acquisition, the construction, the improving, the refinancing, or the improving and refinancing, of an enterprise. The refunding bonds may be exchanged for a like or greater principal amount of such notes, bonds or other obligations of the issuing body, except that the principal amount of the refunding bonds may exceed the principal amount of such outstanding notes, bonds, or other obligations to the extent necessary or advisable, in the discretion of the governing body, to fund interest in arrears or about to become due. The holder or holders of such outstanding notes, bonds, or other obligations need not pay accrued interest on the refunding bonds to be delivered in exchange therefor if and to the extent that interest is due or accrued and unpaid on such outstanding notes, bonds, or other obligations to be surrendered.

(c) If the governing body determines to sell any refunding bonds, such refunding bonds shall be sold at not less than par at public sale in such manner and upon such terms as the governing body shall deem best for the interests of the issuing body.
