repayment schedules and terms other than those required by

 

subsections (1), (2), (3), and (4). In addition, failure of a

 

municipality to make repayments under terms or a schedule it has

 

instituted under this subsection does not disqualify the

 

municipality from eligibility for consideration for loans in

 

subsequent fiscal years.

 

     (6) A loan issued under this act shall be a general obligation

 

of the municipality except that a loan issued under section 3(2)

to, benefiting from the security provided by section 6(4).

interest rate, on the loan being sold or transferred, including,

 

but not limited to, a loan made before the effective date of the

 

amendatory act that added this section, at a rate the state

 

treasurer determines necessary and advisable to accomplish the sale

     (4) When a loan is sold or transferred under this section, the

 

state treasurer may make changes to the terms of the loan,

 

including a loan made before the effective date of the amendatory

necessary and advisable to permit a purchaser or transferee to sell

 

obligations secured by the loans as tax-exempt under federal law,

 

including, but not limited to, modifying redemption provisions,

 

principal amortization, and interest and principal payment dates of

 

the loan. The state treasurer also may require a municipality to

 

make certain covenants the state treasurer determines necessary or

 

advisable relating to the tax-exempt status of the obligations of a

 

purchaser or transferee.

 

     (5) At any time, the state treasurer may require a

 

municipality to enter into an agreement with a purchaser or

 


transferee of a loan regarding continuing disclosure obligations

determines are necessary and advisable. The state treasurer may

 

require entry into an agreement with a recipient of a loan issued
