Sec. 6. (a) Notwithstanding any other law applicable to a qualified entity as to borrowing money, a qualified entity may issue and sell its notes to the bank, and the bank may purchase these notes. The notes must be issued pursuant to a resolution of the qualified entity, and the proceeds must be applied to costs for which the qualified entity may issue bonds.

(b) The qualified entity may renew or extend the notes from time to time on terms agreed to with the bank, and the bank may purchase these renewals or extensions. The amount of accrued interest on the date of renewal or extension may be paid or added to the principal amount of the note being renewed or extended.

(c) The notes of the qualified entity, including any renewals or extensions, must mature in the amounts and at the times (not exceeding two (2) years from the date of original issuance) as are agreed to by the qualified entity and the bank. However, the legislative body of the city in the case of a qualified entity defined in IC 5-1.4-1-10(1) through (3) or the governing body of the qualified entity in the case of a qualified entity defined in IC 5-1.4-1-10(4) through (6), by resolution, may authorize an extension of the maturity beyond two (2) years for an additional period of no more than three (3) years. Any such extension may be authorized in the resolution originally authorizing issuance of the notes. The notes of the qualified entity and accrued interest thereon shall be paid with proceeds from the issuance of its bonds, when and if the bonds are issued, or other money available to the qualified entity, which money the qualified entity may pledge to the payment of its notes.

(d) Compliance with this section constitutes full authority for a qualified entity to issue its notes and sell them to the bank, and the qualified entity is not required to comply with any other law applicable to the authorization, approval, issuance, and sale of bonds, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness. However, if the qualified entity decides to issue bonds, neither the provisions of this section nor the actual issuance by a qualified entity of its notes shall relieve the qualified entity of completing the requirements for the issuance of its bonds all or part of the proceeds of which will be used to retire the notes.

(e) In connection with the purchase of notes, the bank may by agreement with the qualified entity impose any terms, conditions, and limitations as in its opinion are proper for the security of the bank and the holders of its bonds or notes. If the qualified entity fails to comply with the agreement or to retire its notes, the bank may enforce all rights and remedies provided in the agreement or at law.
