sustain employment, lease the eligible facility to a responsible tenant or
tenants.

prior mortgages and make payments on prior mortgages on any eligible facility
where the purchase or payment is necessary to protect any loan previously made
by the Authority. In addition, the Authority may sell, transfer, convey and
assign any such prior mortgage. Monies used by the authority in the purchase of
any prior mortgages, or any payments thereon, shall be withdrawn from the
Vermont jobs fund, and any monies derived from the sale of any prior mortgages
shall be deposited by the authority in the Vermont Jobs Fund.
(4) Purchase and
own personal property for the purpose of leasing such personal property under
financing leases, which leases transfer the ownership of leased personal
property to each lessee following the payment of all required lease payments as
specified in each lease agreement.
