of such bonds; or (3) from its revenues generally. Bonds may be additionally secured by a pledge of any grant or contribution from
any department, agency or instrumentality of the United States or of the State or
from any person, firm or corporation or a pledge of any moneys, income or revenues
of the agency from any source whatsoever. c. Any provision of any law to the contrary notwithstanding, any bonds issued pursuant

coupon appurtenant thereto, by accepting the bond or coupon shall be conclusively
deemed to have agreed that the bond or coupon is and shall be fully negotiable within
the meaning and for all purposes of Title 12A of the New Jersey Statutes. d. Bonds of the agency shall be authorized by or in accordance with a resolution of
the agency and may be issued in one or more series and shall bear such date or dates,

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 of the agency 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

obligation of the State or of any such political subdivision or be or constitute a
pledge of the faith and credit of the State or of any such political subdivision but
all such bonds, unless funded or refunded by bonds, shall be payable solely from revenues
or funds pledged or available for their payment as authorized in this act. Each bond shall contain on its face a statement to the effect that the agency is
obligated to pay the principal thereof or the interest thereon only from revenues
or funds of the agency 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. h. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of this act shall be payable
