The authority shall have the power and is hereby authorized to issue, from time to time, its bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations in such principal amounts as in the opinion of the authority shall be necessary to provide sufficient funds for achieving any of its corporate purposes, including: the making of mortgage loans, the payment, funding or refunding of the principal of, or interest or redemption premiums on, any bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations issued by it whether or not such have become due; the establishment or increase of reserves to secure or to pay such bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations or interest thereon; and all costs or expenses of the authority incident to and necessary or convenient to carry out its corporate purposes and powers.

b. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this act or by resolution of the authority, every issue of bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations shall be general obligations payable out of any moneys or revenues of the authority, subject only to any agreements with the holders of particular bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations pledging any particular moneys or revenues. The authority may issue such types of bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations as it may determine, including bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations as to which the principal and interest are payable: (1) exclusively from the income and revenues of the authority resulting from projects financed with the proceeds of such bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations; (2) exclusively from the income and revenues of the authority resulting from certain projects, whether or not such projects were financed in whole or in part from the proceeds of such bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations; or, (3) from its revenues generally. Any such bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations may be additionally secured by a pledge of any grant, subsidy or contribution from the United States of America or an agency or instrumentality thereof or the State or any agency, instrumentality or political subdivision thereof, or any person, firm or corporation or a pledge of any income or revenues, funds or moneys of the authority from any source whatsoever.

c. Whether or not the bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations issued pursuant to this act are of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of Title 12A, Commercial Transactions, New Jersey Statutes, such bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations and any coupon thereof are hereby made negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of said Title 12A, subject only to the provisions of the bonds and notes for registration.

d. Bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations of the authority shall be authorized by resolution or resolutions of the authority and may be issued in one or more series and shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, bear interest at such rate or rates per annum or within such maximum rate, be in such denomination or denominations, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such conversion or registration privileges, have such rank or priority, be executed in such manner, be payable from such sources in such medium of payment at such place or places within or without this State, and be subject to such terms of redemption (with or without premium) all as such resolution or resolutions may provide.

e. Bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations of the authority may be sold at public or private sale at such price or prices and in such manner as the authority shall determine. Every bond shall mature and be paid not later from the date thereof than 50 years. Every note shall mature and be paid not later than 5 years from the date thereof.

f. Bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations of the authority issued under the provisions of this act shall not be in any way a debt or liability of the State or of any political subdivision thereof other than the authority and shall not create or constitute any indebtedness, liability or obligation of the State or of any political subdivision, nor be or constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of any political subdivision; but all such bonds, bond anticipation notes and other notes and obligations, unless funded or refunded by bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations of the authority shall be payable solely from revenues or funds pledged or available for their payment as authorized in this act. Each bond, bond anticipation note or other note or obligation shall contain on its face a statement to the effect that the authority is obligated to pay the principal thereof or the interest thereon only from the revenues or funds of the authority, and that neither the State nor any political subdivision thereof is obligated to pay such principal or interest, and that neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to the payment of the principal of or the interest on such bonds, bond anticipation notes or other notes or obligations.

g. 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 indebtedness or liability on behalf of or payable by this State or any political subdivision thereof.
