(a) In addition to the foregoing powers, the authority shall have power to accomplish both of the following:
(1) Upon application of the participating college, participating nonprofit entity, or university applicant, to construct, acquire, or otherwise provide projects for the use and benefit of the participating private college, public college, or public university and the students, faculty, and staff of that participating institution. The participating college, participating nonprofit entity, or university applicant for which a project is undertaken by the authority shall approve the plans, specifications, and location of that project.
(2) To lease any project provided pursuant to this section to the participating private college, participating nonprofit entity, or university applicant for which that project is provided. When the liabilities of the authority incurred for a project have been met and the bonds of the authority issued therefor have been paid, or those liabilities and bonds have otherwise been discharged, the authority shall transfer title to all the real and personal property of that project vested in the authority, to the participating college, participating nonprofit entity, or university applicant in connection with which that project is then leased. However, if at any time prior thereto a participating private college ceases to offer educational facilities, then the title shall vest in the State of California.

(1) Pledging all or any part of the moneys, earnings, income, and revenues derived by the lessee from the project or any part or parts thereof, or other personal property of the lessee, to secure payments required under the terms of that lease.
(2) The rates, rentals, fees, and other charges to be fixed and collected by the lessee, the amounts to be raised in each year thereby, and the use and disposition of that income and those moneys, earnings, and revenues.
(3) The setting aside of reserves and the creation of special funds and the regulation and disposition thereof.
(4) The procedure, if any, by which the terms of the lease may be amended, the amount of bonds the holders of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which that consent may be given.
(5) Vesting in a trustee or trustees the specified properties, rights, powers, and duties as shall be deemed necessary or desirable for the security of the holders of the bonds of the authority issued for those projects.
(6) The obligations of the lessee with respect to the replacement, reconstruction, maintenance, operation, repairs, and insurance of that project.
(7) Defining the acts or omissions to act that constitute a default in the obligations and duties of the lessee, and providing for the rights and remedies of the authority and of its bondholders in the event of default.
(8) Any other matters, of like or different character, that may be deemed necessary or desirable for the security or protection of the authority or the holders of its bonds.
