b. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this act or by the authority, every issue of bonds or notes shall be general obligations payable out of any revenues or funds of the authority, subject only to any agreements with the holders of particular bonds or notes pledging any particular revenues or funds.

The bonds or notes may be additionally secured by a pledge of any grant, subsidy or contribution from the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof or the State or any agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, or any person, or a pledge of any income or revenues, funds or moneys of the authority from any source whatsoever.
c. Whether or not the bonds and notes are of a form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of Title 12A of the New Jersey Statutes, the bonds and notes are negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of Title 12A, subject only to the provisions of the bonds and notes for registration.
d. Bonds or notes of the authority shall be authorized by a resolution of the authority and may be issued in one or more series and shall bear the date, mature at the time, bear interest at a rate of interest per annum, be in denominations, be in a form, either coupon or registered, carry any conversion or registration privileges, have rank or priority, be executed in any manner, be payable from any sources in any medium of monetary payment at a place within or without the State, and be subject to the terms of redemption, with or without premium, as the resolution may provide.
e. Bonds or notes of the authority may be sold at public or private sale at a price and in a manner that the authority determines. Every bond shall mature and be paid not later than 40 years from the date of issue.
f. Bonds or notes may be issued under the provisions of this act without obtaining the consent of any department, division, commission, board, bureau or agency of the State, and without any other proceedings or the happening of any other conditions or other things than those proceedings, conditions or things which are specifically required by this act.
g. Bonds and notes of the authority issued under the provisions of this act shall not be a debt or liability of the State or its political subdivisions other than the authority and shall not create or constitute any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the State or of a political subdivision or be or constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of a political subdivision but the bonds and notes, unless funded or refunded by bonds or notes of the authority, shall be payable solely from revenues or funds pledged or available for their payment as authorized in this act. Each bond and note shall contain on its face a statement to the effect that the authority is obligated to pay its principal or interest only from revenues or funds of the authority and that neither the State nor its political subdivisions are obligated to pay the principal or interest and that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State or its political subdivisions is pledged to the payment of the principal of or the interest on the bonds or notes.
h. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of this act shall be payable solely from revenues or funds provided or to be provided under the provisions of this act and nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize the authority to incur any indebtedness or liability on behalf of or payable by the State or its political subdivisions.
