13:17-23. Issuance and renewal of negotiable bonds and notes; contents of bond resolution; payment  The commission is authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable bonds and notes for any corporate purpose and to renew from time to time any bonds and notes by the issuance of new bonds and notes, whether the bonds and notes to be renewed have or have not matured. The commission may issue bonds and notes partly to renew bonds and notes or to discharge other obligations then outstanding and partly for any other purpose. The notes may be authorized, sold, executed and delivered in the same manner as bonds. The commission may issue bonds and notes on which the principal and interest are payable (1) exclusively from the income and revenues of the improvement or project financed with the proceeds of such bonds or notes; (2) exclusively from the income and revenue of certain designated improvement or projects whether or not they are financed in whole or in part with the proceeds of such bonds or notes; or (3) from its revenue generally. Any such bonds or notes may be additionally secured by a pledge of any grant or contribution from any department or agency of the United States or the State or person or a pledge of any money, income or revenues of the agency from any source whatsoever. Any resolution or resolutions authorizing bonds and notes of the commission or any issue thereof may contain the following provisions: (a) A covenant against pledging all or any part of its charges or revenues, or against mortgaging all or any part of its real or personal property then owned or thereafter acquired or against permitting or suffering any lien on such charges, revenues or property; (b) A covenant with respect to limitations on any right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any project or any part thereof or any property of any kind; (c) A covenant as to the issuance of additional bonds or notes or as to limitations on the issuance of additional bonds or notes and on the incurring of other debts by the commission; (d) A covenant against extending the time for the payment of bonds or notes or interest thereon; (e) A covenant as to the rates of fees and other charges to be established and charged, the amount to be raised each year or other period of time by fees, charges or other revenues and as to the use and disposition to be made thereof; (f) A covenant to create or authorize the creation of special funds or moneys to be held in pledge or otherwise for construction operating expenses, payment or redemption of bonds or notes, reserves or other purposes and as to the use and disposition of the moneys held in such funds; (g) A provision for the establishment of a procedure, by which the terms of any contract or covenant with or for the benefit of the holders of bonds or notes may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds or notes the holders of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may be given; (h) A provision for the rights and liabilities, powers and duties arising upon the breach of any covenant, condition or obligation and to prescribe the events of default and the terms and conditions upon which any or all bonds, notes or other obligations of the commission shall become or may be declared due and payable before maturity and the terms and conditions upon which any such declaration and its consequences may be waived; (i) A provision for the payment of the costs or expenses incident to the enforcement of such bonds or notes or of the provisions of such resolution or of any covenant or agreement of the commission with the holders of its bonds or notes; (j) A limit on the powers of the commission to construct, acquire or operate any structures, facilities or properties which may compete or tend to compete with any of its projects; (k) A limit on the rights of the holders of any bonds or notes to enforce any pledge or covenant securing bonds or notes; and (l) Any other covenant or provision, in addition to those herein expressly authorized, which the commission deems may be necessary, convenient or desirable in order to better secure the bond or notes, or which in the opinion of the commission will tend to make the bonds or notes more marketable. All such bonds and notes shall be payable from the revenues or other moneys of the commission, subject only to any contractual rights of the holders of any of its notes or other obligations then outstanding.
