40:37C-8. Bonds; issuance; redemption; terms; sale; refunding bonds
All bonds issued by an authority may be issued as serial bonds or as term bonds or a combination of both types. Such bonds shall be payable solely out of the revenues and receipts derived from the leasing or sale by the authority of the pollution control facilities acquired with the proceeds thereof as may be designated in the proceedings under which the bonds shall be authorized to be issued or from the loan and security agreements or other instruments entered into between an authority and the person to whom the proceeds of the bonds have been loaned for the purpose of paying any of the project costs of a pollution control facility. Such bonds may be executed and delivered by the authority at any time and from time to time, bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, bear interest at such rate or rates, be in such denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such registration privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in such medium of payment, at such place or places, be subject to such terms of redemption, be executed by the manual or facsimile signatures of such officers of the authority and contain such provisions not inconsistent herewith, all as shall be provided in the proceedings of the authority. If deemed advisable by the authority, there may be retained in the proceedings under which any bonds are authorized to be issued a right or option to redeem all or any part thereof as may be specified in such proceedings, at such price or prices and after such notice or notices and on such terms and conditions as may be set forth in such proceedings, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to confer on any authority the right or option to redeem any bonds except as may be provided in the proceedings under which they shall be issued. Any bonds may be sold at public or private sale for such price or prices and in such manner and at such time or times as may be determined by the authority and the authority may pay all expenses, premiums and commissions which it may deem necessary or advantageous in connection with the issuance thereof. Issuance by the authority of one or more series of bonds for one or more purposes shall not preclude it from issuing other bonds in connection with the same pollution control facilities or any other pollution control facilities or for any other purpose hereunder, but the proceedings whereunder any subsequent bonds may be issued shall recognize and protect any prior pledge made for any prior issue of bonds. Any bonds at any time outstanding may at any time and from time to time be refunded by the issuance of refunding bonds in such amount as the authority may deem necessary but not exceeding an amount sufficient to refund the principal of the bonds so to be refunded, together with any unpaid interest thereon and any premiums, commissions, service fees and other expenses necessary to be paid in connection therewith. Any such refunding may be effected whether the bonds to be refunded shall have then matured or shall thereafter mature, either by sale of the refunding bonds and the application of the proceeds thereof for the payment of the bonds to be refunded thereby, or by the exchange of the refunding bonds for the bonds to be refunded thereby with the consent of all or so many of the holders of the bonds so to be refunded as may be determined and regardless of whether or not the bonds to be refunded were issued in connection with the same pollution control facilities or separate pollution control facilities or for any other purpose hereunder, and regardless of whether or not the bonds proposed to be refunded shall be payable on the same date or different dates or shall be due serially or otherwise. All such bonds and the interest coupons applicable thereto, if any, are hereby made and shall be construed to be negotiable instruments within the meaning, and for all purposes, of Title 12A, Commercial Transactions, of the New Jersey Statutes (N.J.S. 12A:1-101 et seq.) with the exception of any provisions thereof pertaining to registration.
