Ind. Code § 5-1-5-8 – Trust indenture to secure bonds

(a) The governing body may secure the bonds by a trust indenture by and between the issuing body and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or outside of the state of Indiana, and may convey or mortgage property to the same extent as is authorized by statutes applicable to:
1. (1) the bonds being refunded; or
2. (2) the bonds that the bonds being refunded had previously refunded.
(b) The ordinance authorizing the bonds and fixing the details thereof may provide that the trust indenture may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper, not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the issuing body.
(c) The trust indenture may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders or trustee, restricting the individual right of action of bondholders as is customary in trust indenture securing bonds and debentures of corporations. Except as is in this chapter otherwise provided, the governing body may provide by ordinance or in the trust indenture for any other terms or conditions pertaining to the refunding bonds as is authorized by statutes applicable to:
1. (1) the bonds being refunded; or
2. (2) the bonds that the bonds being refunded had previously refunded.
