All or any part of the Bonds may be made registerable as to principal with the State Treasurer. The Bonds may be callable as determined by the Governor; provided however, that the State shall not pay a premium of more than 3% of the principal of any Bonds so called. The Bonds shall be deposited with the State Treasurer, and upon delivery of the Bonds to the purchaser, the proceeds of the Bonds shall be paid into the State Treasury.
