1. Make secured and unsecured loans for both the acquisition and the construction of projects on terms the authority determines.

4. Grant a mortgage, lien, pledge, assignment, or other encumbrance on one or more projects, revenues, or reserve or other funds established in connection with obligations, or with respect to a lease, sale, or loan relating to one or more projects, or a guaranty or insurance agreement relating to one or more projects, or a secured or unsecured interest of the authority in one or more projects or parts of one or more projects.
5. Provide that the interest on obligations may vary in accordance with a base or formula authorized by the authority.
