Sec. 394.054.  SECURITY FOR BONDS.  (a)  A resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds under this chapter may require that the principal of and interest on the bonds be secured by a mortgage, pledge, security interest, insurance agreement, or indenture of trust that covers the residential development or home mortgages for which the bonds are issued and may include any improvements or extensions made after the bonds are issued.  A security instrument may contain covenants and agreements to properly safeguard the bonds as provided by the resolution authorizing the bonds and shall be executed in the manner provided by the resolution.
(b)  This chapter, the resolution, and the mortgage, pledge, security interest, or indenture of trust constitute a contract with the bondholders that continues in effect until the principal of and interest on the bonds and any redemption premiums have been fully paid or provision for payment has been made.
(c)  The resolution, the mortgage, pledge, security interest, or indenture of trust, and the duties under this chapter of the housing finance corporation and its officers and other authorities are enforceable as provided by the resolution, the instrument, or this chapter by any bondholder by mandamus, by foreclosure of the mortgage, pledge, security interest, or indenture of trust, or by any other appropriate action in a court of competent jurisdiction.  The resolution or the mortgage, pledge, security interest, or indenture of trust may provide that the remedies and rights to enforcement may be vested in a trustee, with full power of appointment, for the benefit of all the bondholders.  The trustee is subject to the control of a number of bondholders or bond owners as provided in the resolution or instrument.
(d)  Bonds issued under this chapter may be secured by a pledge of or a lien on all or part of the revenues, receipts, or other resources of the housing finance corporation, including the revenues and receipts derived from the residential development or home mortgages or from any notes or other obligations of lending institutions with respect to which the bonds have been issued.  The board of directors may provide in the resolution authorizing the bonds for the issuance of additional bonds equally and ratably secured by a lien on the revenues and receipts or may provide that the lien on the revenues and receipts is subordinate.  Subordinate lien bonds may also be issued unless prohibited by a bond resolution.
