The principal of and interest on any bonds issued by the corporation shall be secured by a pledge of the revenues and receipts out of which the principal and interest shall be made payable, and may be secured by a mortgage or deed of trust covering all or any part of the properties of the corporation, or by an assignment and pledge of all or any part of the corporation's real or personal assets. The resolution under which the bonds are authorized to be issued and any such mortgage or deed of trust may contain any agreements and provisions respecting the maintenance of the projects covered by the resolution, the fixing and collecting of rents or payments with respect to any projects or portions of projects covered by such resolution, mortgage or deed of trust, the creation and maintenance of special funds from such revenues and from the proceeds of such bonds, and the rights and remedies available in the event of default, all as the board of directors shall deem advisable and not in conflict with this section. Each pledge, agreement, mortgage and deed of trust made for the benefit or security of any of the bonds of the corporation shall continue effective until the principal of and interest on the bonds for the benefit of which the pledge, agreement, mortgage and deed of trust were made shall have been fully paid. In the event of default in such payment or in any agreements of the corporation made as a part of the contract under which the bonds were issued, whether contained in the proceedings authorizing the bonds or in any mortgage and deed of trust executed as security for the bonds, such payment or agreement may be enforced by suit, mandamus, the appointment of a receiver in equity, or by foreclosure of any such mortgage and deed of trust, or any one (1) or more of such remedies. Acts 1977, ch. 299, § 12; T.C.A., § 6-4212.
